Leander Huse, 29 years old, soft drink parlor operator, died at Mercy hospital at 6 o'clock this morning from kidney trouble induced by accidentally drinking a quantity of fire extinguisher fluid, according to report made following a post mortem and investigation by county officials.
The district attorney's office was notified that an examination was to be made of the body on account of the unusual circumstances in connection with the illness, and Mr. Keefe obtained information report as to the findings.
There appears to have been nothing in connection with the case to indicate anything but accidental drinking of the fluid, Mr. Keefe said.
Mr. Huse was preparing to attend a funeral Feb. 27, and the officials were informed fire extinguisher fluid was being used in cleaning some of his clothing, at the soft drink parlor operated in his name at 1320 Oregon street.
Those who were present stated Huse took a drink of "liquor" and then picked up a white soda bottle, containing the fire extinguisher fluid, mistaking it for pop. It was stated he swallowed a quantity of the fluid before he realized it was not white soda.
He became ill as a result of drinking the liquid, but was not confined to bed until the next day. His condition became such that it was necessary to remove him to the hospital Thursday afternoon. Those who performed the post mortem examination said nothing was discovered that would indicate any other form of poisoning than what would result from drinking the cleaning substance.
Following a layoff two years ago from his job as a fireman on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, Huse went into the soft-drink business. Previous to that he worked for the railroad about seven years, members of his family said. He roomed above the soft drink parlor at the home of Miss Mary Kollross.
Huse was born in Oshkosh Jan. 4, 1903. His mother, Mrs. Clara Huse; five brothers, George and Oscar Huse, Oshkosh, and Harvey, Earl, and Eugene, all of Chicago; and four sisters, Mrs. J. A. Strohmeyer, Mrs.Alvin Johnson, and Miss Lucile Huse, all of Chicago, and Mrs. Emily Grassee, of Oshkosh, survive him.
The funeral will probably be held Sunday.
Huse was a member of the Eagles lodge.
