The hearts of hundreds of
friends and relatives were sad-
dened when news spread last
Friday evening that Walter
Kurtz could not live, and with
eight o’clock this same evening,
came death.
Walter, more familiarly known
to his friends as Jake, had been
sick but a few days and death
was caused from inflamation of
the brain. A week before his
death he was stricken with very
high fever but did not go to bed;
he was remarkably strong and
robust and could stand more
than the ordinary person.
His reputation as a ball player
often caused him to be sent for
to assist nearby teams when
they had a hard game, and a few
days after he first took sick he
went to New Ulm on a mission
of this kind. In his weakened
condition a ball game was too
much for him and after getting
warm, drank a quantity of ice
water, causing fever to return
worse than before. After com-
ing home he still did not give up,
but went to work ate next day,
which was Tuesday. ’
Wednesday, however, he went
to bed and that night a physician
was called. From the first it
was seen that there was small
chance for his recovery as the
young man was unconsciqus at
the time and remained that way
until he died.
He was hurried Saturday
afternoon in the Sealy Cemetery.
