FOUND MAN DEAD IN A CAVE NEAR LIMA

Frank Moore Was discovered Tuesday Night, His Death Being Attributed to Suffocation

 

Frank Moore, World War veteran, about thirty-five years of age, unmarried, was found dead Tuesday night about nine o'clock, in a cave down the railroad from Lima a mile and a half or two miles. Dr. Wood of Wadena was called and attributed his death to suffocation. Inside the cave, which was a small one, and tightly closed, was a still.

 

Mr. Moore had been working on the Ralph Gage farm for the past two or three years, and we are informed came there from McGregor, and had also been a resident of Marion. He has a sister living in Connecticut. 

 

The body was brought to and taken to the Austin J.] Fox undertaking parlor, where it has since been, pending information from relatives.
