MAN OVERCOME BY HEAT, DIES AT HOSPITAL
Stricken While at Work On Farm Yesterday
Heat prostration is believed to have been responsible for the death
yesterday of W.W. Black, a transient employed as a form (sic) hand
near Cooperstown. Black was overcome while at work in the loft of a
barn pitching grain, and died just as he reached the hospital here
early in the evening. The body is held awaiting word from a son said
to be with a carnival company at Antigo this week.
Black, who was 49, came to this city last March and had been rooming
at the Green Bay house on Chicago street. He had been employed as a
laborer about the city and on farms and yesterday was working with a
crew at a farm about fourteen miles north, near Cooperstown.
Little Known of Man
"I wonder where I am going to sleep tonight?" were the last words of
Black as he was carried from the barn by fellow workers and efforts
made to revive him. When he collapsed completely, he was hurriedly
brought to the city but died before a physician could reach him at
the hospital.
Little is known about the dead man here. He is said to have formerly
conducted a restaurant at the American Soo and to have separated
from his wife. Black had spoken to friends of two sons and said
yesterday that one of the boys was at Antigo with a carnival company.
The body was removed to the Pfeffer undertaking rooms and held
wait (sic) word from relatives.
Humidity Intense
The humidity yesterday was intense although a brisk breeze brought
relief. In the loft where Black was employed when stricken there was
no opportunity to benefit from the breeze and it is believed that the intense heat caused his collapse and death.
