SUICIDE OF A YOUNG MAN.
A Strange Case Of Sudden Derange.
ment the Cause of the Rash Act.

The inhabitants of Fifteenth Street in
the vicinity of Washington, were consid
erably excited about half past six o clock
on Sunday morning, on account ola young
man by the name of Anton Hertka, about
twenty -four years of age aud of Bohemi
an parentage, committing suicide, The
deceased was shoemaker by trade and
has worked at different shops in the vii
lage for quite a number of years. Du-
ring the last six weeks he was working for
Mr.. JOS Hoyer, on Washington street,
and had the reputation Of being an in
dustrious young man in comfortable cir
cumstances, the owner ola house and
also some money on deposit in bank.
Up to within week nothing of an I'M
common character was noticed in his de-
meanor. Heworked regularly and seemed
happy and contented. On the Monday
previous to his committing the rash act,
Mr.. Hoyer noticed signs of arrangement.
He appeared Indifferent as to what was
going on around him and it needed con-
siderable coaxing to induce him to 60 to
work. During the remainder of the week
he worked but little and when he came
to the shop on Saturday morning he look
ed more respondent than usual. Mr..
Hoyer questioned him as to the cause of
his strange behavior, when, with consid
cradle reluctance he replied that he had
learned some bad news on the north side
last evening All the Bohemians were
to be discharged by their employers and
assassinated No Bohemian would be
allowed to live. Mr. Hoyer tried to con-
vince him that there was no truth in his
story; that it was only an imagination of
his brain; that he was very anxious to
have him continue to work and would pay
him good wages. But all was of no avail
and though he labored little during the
day he could not be convinced but that
this sad fate was awaiting him and his
countrymen. On several occasions here
marked that if he knew that he would be
allowed to live in Chicago he would go
there and try to get work but he sup
posed that they were not allowed to live
anywhere. In the evening of the same
day he attended ball at Fricke's Hall,
and though he did not seem as happy as
usual, bis companions did not notice any
thing strange in his actions At an early
hour on Sunday morning he borrowed a
gun from peighbor and said that he
was going hunting. The family who oc-
cupy the first floor of the dwelling house
saw him go up stairs and few minutes
afterwards heard the report of a gun.
They went into his room and found his
lifeless body on the floor with the gun,
ramrod and some powder lying near him.
Upon examination it was found that he
was shot through the heart and it is sup
posed that the stock of the gun was on
the floor and while STOPPING over the
muzzle of the gun he pushed off the trig
ger with the ramrod.
Justice Iinns held coroners inquest
and verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above.

FIRE IN THE TOWN OF CATO.
A Barn and Two Horses Burned.
Supposed lncendiariSm.

On Saturday night last large company
of ladies and gentlemen while enjoying
themselves at ball given by Joseph
Vollmer of the town of Cato, were sud
denly startled by cry of fire, which
proved to be the barn situated only a
short distance from the dance hall All
the stalls in the large barn were occupied
by horses whose owners came for the
purpose Of taking part in the dance
The party at once broke up and the
entire company gave all the assistance
they could in saving the property A
number of horses had a narrow escape
from being consumed in the flames,
among which was valuable Black Haw K
Stallion owned by Mr.. Corlew of Mani
towoc Rapids, and horse belonging to
the livery stable of Tilson & Winton of
this place. On account of the fire not
being discovered before the entire barn
was nearly in flames, two horses, the
property of farmers were burned. A
large quantity of hay, stored in the barn,
was also destroyed with the building. In
order to save the dwelling house of Mr.
Vcllmer. a part of he dance hall had
to be torn down.
The fire originated in the garnet of the
barn and that it was an incendarian who
set it on fire, there cannot be much doubt.
This supposition is corroborated by the
fact that Mr. Vollmer had taken in a
large amount of money during the even
ing. Upon the first alarm of fire Mr.. V.
took all the money that was in the drawer
excepting little change and put it in
his pocket While all was excitemet and
confusion, one or more persons made
their way into the bar room and stole the
money drawer. Fortunately Mr.. Foll-
mer presence of mind saved him from
this additional loss, and the thieves only
succeeded in obtaining for their blunder
few cents and some papers of no value
The total loss was about $1,000.

An Irishman by the name of Nc
Carly, being of speculative mind, con-
ceived the idea that he could make a
good thing out of yoke of oxen, the
property of Mr.. Whitcomb, of the Tan
merry at Two Rivers. The oxen were in
the pasture and McCarty drove them to
this place, where he soon found an oppor-
tunity to make trade with gentleman
from Green Bay for horse. Both par
ties being satisfied with the bargain the
gentleman from Green Bay started home
with his yoke of oxen but on the road
passed some of the men employed at the
Tannery who on their return notified Mr..
Whitcomb of what they had seen. Steps
we're Immediately taken to recover the
property and the man with the oxen was
brought back to Two Rivers where Mr..
Whitcomb was able to prove thlt the
cattle belonged to him. McCarty. in the
meantime, hearing that the officers OF
the law were searching for him, left for
parts unknown and has escaped arrest
thus far.

ANIMAL TRAP.-Mr. II. f. Fish, who
is stopping for a few days at the Confec-
tionary store of H. Wilcox, has an animal
trap, which isvery effective for catching
any size animal from mouse upwards.
1t is so constructed that when one animal
gets in he sets it forthe next. There are
no springs to set and the bait is so arran-
ged that the animal can only smell of itand
pass along, therefore it is always set and
baited. 1t is said to be the best trap in
vented.

Look OUT FOR BURGLARS. -Burgla-
ries are getting to be rather too often In
this village and county. Our citizens
should use the greatest vigilance In order
to guard themselves against the depreda-
tions of these hell hounds. On Tuesday
night a daring burglary was committed,
by which Mr.. William Brown, tavern
keeper at the Four corners Oh the Calu
met road, about four miles from this vii
lage, was the loser of about 800 IN cash,
box of cigars and bottle or two OF IL
uuor. The thieves entered the room
where MIR. Brown, his wife and children
were asleep and stole his clothes. After
getting out doors they began to search
the clothing and in pocket of the pants
found a pocket book containing nearly
800 in money They also searched the
bar room and stole number of articles
of not much value. In the afternoon
during the absence Of Mr.. Brown, two
suspicious looking men stopped at the
tavern for about an hour. Mrs. B. no.
ticed that they surveyed The house rather
closely but took no further notice of it.
MIR. Brown having worked hard all day
was sound asleep during the night and
did not know that burglars had visited
his house, until after getting up in the
morning when he found that his clothes
which he had placed on a chair near the
bed were gone After instituting search
he found them on the road short dis
lance from the house with the pockets

LAKE DISASTERS. = 1t appears from
trustworthy statistics that the aggregate
number of disasters of all kinds on the
North American lake, for eight years,
from 1860 to 1868 inclusive, show an
tverge of 4I9 per annum. During the
iast two years there has been a large in
crease Of disasters, the number in 1865
neing 42l, while that of 1867 reached
he startling figure of 1sI-by far the
largest number of casualties and wrecks
IN the lakes ever previously recorded for
ne year. OF this number 574 were dis
listers OF a serious nature, and 357 were
cases where the vessel suffered compare
lively slight damages.
