Show Danced Hlmnelf to Death. Chicago, 111., Aug. 1. Charles! Lostram, a man weighing 250 pounds, danced himself to death last night at La Grange at a ball given at the La Grange hotel. The party was a lively one. and Lostram, after participating in the pleasures until about midnight, went home feeling unwell. A little later he felt better and determined to return to the dance. His wife protested, protest-ed, but he went, aud after dancing a short time be was again attacked. Laying Lay-ing down on a sofa he grew worse, and shortly died, presumably of heart failure, fail-ure, induced by over exertion. Some one started a story that poison had been given him in his drink, in which there was more or less indulgence during the evening, and this will necessitate a corner's cor-ner's inquest. |
