PATROLMAN IS DEAD OF COLD CAUGHT AT GAME

Frank Piechorowski Loses Fight for Life After Extended Illness.

IN DEPARTMENT SINCE 1921

Police Headquarters Draped in Mourning; Arrangements for Funeral Incomplete.

After a game fight of more than a month for his life, Patrolman Frank Piechorowski, age 38, of 1807 West Washington Avenue, died at 12:35 this morning at St. Joseph's hospital of complication developing from a cold contracted more than a month ago. Death of the officer, while believed inevitable by his attending physicians, came with startling suddenness. He was conscious almost to the end and but a few minutes before he expired he complained again of the severe pains about the region of his ailing heart. During the night prior to his death he had been exceedingly restless and failed to respond to drugs administered to ease his suffering.The policeman's valiant, but futile struggle for life for the past few weeks was succession of improvements and relapse or complications. Just when he seemed to be successfully passing a crisis of overcoming one infection another would develop to retard his progress. His illness originated with a cold when had its inception about the middle of November.
