FRANK CHRISTEL - VALDERS MAN DIES SUDDENLY AT OSHKOSH

Frank Christel Dies Hour After Reaching Hospital

Frank Christel, Valders business man, died suddenly at the Northern hospital at Oshkosh at 1 o’clock this afternoon, within an hour after his arrival at the institution from this city.

The remains will be brought to Valders for burial.

Mr. Christel, whose actions had been strange for some time, was brought into county court this morning on petition for examination and Judge Chloupek issued an order sending the man to the Oshkosh hospital for treatment, physicians believing that his trouble was temporary and that he would recover.

Accompanied by Sheriff Kiel, Deputy Meisner and County Clerk Arthur Schroeder, Mr. Christel was taken to the hospital at once, the party arriving shortly after noon. Before the return of Sheriff Kiel and his party this afternoon a message was received by Judge Chloupek announcing the death of Mr. Christel.

Mr. Christel was thirty-six years of age and married. He has resided at Valders practically all of his life and was well known, having been engaged in conducting a soft drink parlor.
