Cholera infantum seized the little boy at 11 o'clock yesterday monring when he was apparently enjoying the robust health that had characterized the triplets. At 5 o'clock the child was in convulsions and at 8 he was dead. A physician was called from St Cloud soon after the illness began but was powerless to save the little sufferer's life.

At parties in the country attended by the parents the triplets were frequently shown and they were brought to the recent canvention of the old settlers' association in St Cloud, were they made much attention.
