Found Dead.

Ole Larson, who will be remembered as an employe of Hanswirth & Shima, wad found dead in his berth on the steamer on the North Sea between England and Norway. His health having failed he decided to return to Norway and left Decorah for New York in charge of a car of horses. He sailed from New York on June 3d and seemingly was improving until he got to England. When he embarked for Norway he was apparently improving and the officers of the vessel were surprised to find him a corpse. The news came to Decorah by a communication to Mr. Shima from his sister at Van Horne, Iowa.
