Here are obits for my ancestor, Jens M. Larson, who died in the Blue 
Earth County jail.  

Blue Earth Post, Nov. 20, 1906, page 5

Jens Larson, an unfortunate victim of the liquor habit, died at the 
county jail Thursday afternoon.  The poor fellow was sent here from 
Bricelyn some three weeks ago under a fifteen days' sentence for 
intoxication and a few days previous to the completion of that time 
became ill and while the best of medical attention was given him his 
physical condition was so depleted that northing could be done for him.  
He was about 35 years of age.
