DIED OF HIS INJURIES
Fred Boehm, who was so badly injured by a fall from the scaffolding of a building at Shoto last week, died of his injuries Saturday evening. It is thought that either concussion of the brain or the rupture of one of the large arteries was the cause of death. The deceased was an industrious man, well spoken of by those who knew him.

A FATAL FALL

Ferdinand Boehm, a plasterer whose home has been in this city for many years past, fell from a high scaffold upon which he was at work plastering the ceiling at Aug. Gehling's new hall in Shoto last Friday and was so seriously injured that he died Saturday evening. The scaffold, or staging, upon which he was at work was 15 feet high and he stepped off backwards, striking upon the hardwood floor below and breaking many of his bones as well as fracturing his skull. Mr. Boehm was born at Scheles, Austria, in 1843 and was therefore 55 years of age at the time of his death and a man of steady habits and a quiet upright citizen. He was a well known resident of this city for thirty years or more and leaves a wife and one son. The son is a printer by trade who now lives in Waukesha, though he was formerly and for many years employed in the Chronicle office.
