Fort, more familiarly known as "Tom Fort, was found dead in his bed at 11:30 this forenoon in a small house on the premises which he owns on East Sixth street. The body was discovered by Mrs. James Shaffer, who occupies the main house on the lot, and the sheriff and coroner were at once notified and later the remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Ginn. The last time Mr. Fort was seen alive was about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. This forenoon a man called to rent the barn on the premises and Mrs. Shaffer went with the man to the house Fort occupied, knocked at the door and receiving no reply, looked in the window and saw Fort lying in bed with an arm over his chest. Repeated knocking failed to arouse him and concluding he was dead, the officers were sent for. Upon arrival Coroner Longley found the body rigid and is of the opinionthat the death ensued Wednesday night. The deceased was a pioneer resident of North Platte, coming here the latter part of the 60's, and with the exception of the last year or two, which he spent in the east, lived here almost continuously. He leaves one child, a daughter now with relatives in the east. An inquest will probably be held this afternoon and funeral arrangements will be made.
