         LUMBERJACK FOUND DEAD IN BASEMENT
         
         Returns to Watersmeet After Serving
           Sentence in County Jail and Dies.
           
         Returning to Watersmeet Friday afternoon after
       serving a 15 day sentence in the county jail, 
       WAINO PETOLA, a woodsman, went to sleep in the
       basement of the Kelly hotel and when he was found
       he was dead. The cause of the man's death is not
       known.
         J. B. Chappell, who was called to Watersmeet
       as coroner in the case, is trying to locate 
       relatives of PETOLA. Little is known about the
       man at Watersmeet. He had been there on numerous
       occasions in the past, making the village his
       home between the times when he was working in
       the woods.
         PETOLA had hired out to a logger working in
       the vicinity of Lake Gogebic and was supposed
       to have got off the train at Gogebic, but in-
       stead he went on to Watersmeet.
         No inquest will be held in the case as there
       is no indication of foul play, said Coroner
       Chappell today.
         Unless relatives are located, PETOLA will be
       buried as a county charge.
