ACCIDENTAL
DEATH
OF FRED
QUADE
On Tuesday of this week occurred
'he death of Kiel Quade, a farmer
who had lived in the Hemingford
neighborhood for many years, on
Saturday he pur bused a bottlo ol a!
cohol at a Hemingford drug store,
following his custom of diluting the
same ami drinking as a tjevtrngn
Thru some misunderstanding, ntthei
on his own part or the part of the
druggist, he was given wood alcohol.
He whs a German and spoke Eng
lish poorly and was probably misun
deretood. The druggist says he
asked for wood alcohol. On Monday
the effect of the poison began to
be felt and Tuesday was ao ill that
he informed his wife he felt that he
would die. She prevailed upon him
to tell her where t lie bottle was out
of which he drank. Cpon Investiga
tion the mistake was discovered. Dr.
McKuen was immediately called but
was too late to be of any service,
the man expiring while the doctor
was there.
Dr. Single was notified and con
ducted an Inquest with Jury n, a Bar
ratt, L. ipolt, .Mueller. I'hrig, Rom or,
Krohnapfel and W'ildy. They con
cluded that he came to his death
from drinking contents of bottle not
with suicidal intent and rtol know
ing the effect the contents might
have on him.
He was buried in Hemingford on
Wednesday aftemOOtt,
