Just as we go press the report comes in that a man by the name of FRED
RABENSDERF,
had frozen to death Friday night and about 10 miles north of this city
on the Langlade road. We understand that he was one of Tim Craine's men,
and resides in Oshkosh.

We have been informed that FRED RABENSDORF, the man who was
frozen to death about 2 miles above Keshena last Friday night, was intoxicated
at the time. He and two other men were on their way up river to Tim Craine's
camp on Pickerel Lake. Arriving at Mag. Laws hotel, about 2 miles above
Keshena, they stopped for dinner. At the time of starting again Rabensdorf,
being pretty drunk, would not go with the others, and was left at the hotel.
The wind was blowing very hard, and the air was so full of snow that a
person could not see a road ahead. About half past three on Friday afternoon
the unfortunate man started out alone and it is supposed that being overcome
from the effects of the liquor and cold, fell down, not realizing his situation,
and thus miserably perished. When found he was about a rod from the road,
lying on his face, his mittens in his pocket. The corpse was brought to
this city and taken to Oshkosh Sunday, where he resided. We understand
that he was a dissipated man, and was "posted" in Oshkosh. He leaves a
wife and several small children, almost entirely destitute. |

DROWNED - The Marinette Eagle says that a son of Mr. Joseph JUTTNER,
proprietor of the First National Hotel of Menominee, was drowned on
Wednesday of last week. He was skating at the time on the ice
that fringed
the Bay Shore but a little distance, opposite Menominee, in company
with
some smaller boys, when venturing out beyond where the ice was safe,
he
went through. The boys who where with him at the time were unable
to render any
assistance and it was too late before other aid could reach him.
The body
was recovered after it had been in the water about twenty five minutes,
and
every effort which medical skill could devise was made to bring back
the
spark of life, but without success. The deceased was some 14
or 15 years
of age, and the oldest son of Mr. Juttner. The sad accident has
caused a
feeling of sympathy throughout the community for the bereaved family.

DIED.- Tuesday morning the 28th inst. of Peritonitis, Mr.
Henry WARNER,
after just one weeks illness.
Mr. WARNER was engaged in fishing on
the Bay when he was taken ill.
Exposure, with other causes, had so far reduced his viality that his
system
was unable to rally from the sudden and severe attack of this, one
of the
most dreaded diseases to which the human system is liable. Mr.
WARNER
leaves a young Widow and two children, one of which is but a few days
of
age.
On the same day, Mr. Joseph WHITEBREAD
at his residence near the Depot
in Oconto died of dropsy. Mr. WHITEBREAD had been suffering with
this
disease for months and his death was not at all unexpected. He
was one of
the oldest residents on the river and very generally known. He
was a native of the City of Brussels in the Kingdom of Belgium.
