Chris Haack was fatally injured in some mysterious manner on the Calhoun road in the timber south of the old Humphries place last Sunday night and was taken to the Blair hospital where he died Wednesday morning. “Aus” Stowe had taken Haack and Dave Hogan, Dan Hogan, Ora Holeton and another party in his car, early in the evening to Calhoun, and from best available information had started home when something had got wrong with the car up near the Rohwer place just this side of Calhoun. While an effort was being made to repair the car Chris announced his intention of walking to Blair, and started out. The next known of him was when a couple of men in a car brought him unconscious to Calhoun and said they had found him in that condition lying in the road. He was brought to the Blair hospital but never regained consciousness.

Deceased was a young man, unmarried, and came from Germany some six years ago. He was a cousin of Hugo Haack who has requested that an inquest be held to ascertain, if possible, the cause and manner of his death. His mother is still living in Germany.
