Horrible Murder in Calumet County

as. From the Chiffon Times, May 80.
On Tuesday last horrible and brutal
murder was committed IN the town of
Brothertonc, in this cvunty-Henry Bull
man being the murderer and his wife the
victim. AS near as we can gather the facts
from the numerous stories afoat they are
as follows: ats
Henry Bulman is Pennsylvania Ger
man and over 25 years ago married Bro
thertown woman They lived happily to.
gether, raised large family and were well
liked and respected by their neighbors. Of
late, however, 1t seems they have been
jealous of each other and several "family
jars was the consequence, but nothing se>
rious was thought of those quarrels hy the
family friends. For some time past Mrs.
Bulman has been in the habit of visiting
and waiting upon Mrs. Skeesuck, sick
neighbor, and upon visit of this kind she
started on Tuesday last, taking with her
pair OF pants she was making for. her hus-
band. On her return it seems she was met
in the woods and her skull smashed in and
her throat cut from ear to car. 1t being
late In the afternoon she was covered over
with some leaves and brush, but was again
covered by her murderer with few inches
OF dirt. stone placed over her face and
log rolled over her body. ..s Is
I. The remains were first discovered on
Thursday (hcr children not being alarmed,
supposing her to be at the sick neighbor's)
by a young man hunting cattle. The cat
tie smelling the blood became wild which
excited the suspicious of the young man
and he went to investigate the matter.
Discovering the leaves and brush he con-
cluded to let them remain until morning
and then return with some other persons.
He described the circumstances to his bro
ther end they repaired to the place next
morning and were surprised to find that
the leaves and brush had disappeared and
the dirt and the log were in their place.
Alarm was given, the neighbors assembled
and the remains removed to proper place.
] he deceased was about 45 years old.
When the husband discovered that the
body of his murdered wife was found he
sti,rted for the woods where he was ca D.
tifed IN swamp by a party who went in
pursuit. He had on when ca p.ured the
new pants which bis wife had been making
! for hlm, whieh she Completed, except sew
ing on the buttons. which, it has since
transpired, he had sewed on by another
woman after the murder. He was exam.
ined by Squire Simons and committed to
the Fond du Lac Jail to await ,he action of
the Grand Jury at the next TIE IN of the
Circuit Court. se
Bnlman was always considered an up
right and quiet man until this fatal occur
renee took place, and it Is hard to believe
! that jealousy incited him to commit the
mtlrderoHs act. We understand he denies
committing the crime. SO r.u7 qFfP

The SENATE INVESTIGATION. = The
speech OF Senator Ross, in the senate last
week, oa his resolution calling for an in
vesdgating committee to inquire into
alleged charges of bribery and corruption
Of senators, created quite sensation. Mr..
Ross spoke with much feeling, besides being
most defiant in his tone as respected the
charge against him. 1t was noticeable
thst Senator Fomeroy voted ''no'' on Sena-
tor Davis original resolution of investigation
while Messrs Ross, Fowler, Fessenden,
and others, who voted for acquittal, voted
"aye." How issit that those who voted to
convict are the least desirous ofan inves.
tisation into these charges of bribery and
corruption?

that Mr.. JOHN P. LEIsT and his wife,
who live four miles out on the town line

JONES LIBRARY ASSoCIATION.-The
rooms Of the Jones Library Association are
open to theypublic. And now, that this
benefcient project has been carried into
perfect execution, through the libarality Of
Col. JONES and many of our citizens, and
by the underwriting zeal and exertions Of
those who had the Immediate charge of the
enterprise, we trust it is unnecessary to
express the hope that our people will take
such an interest and pride in it as will con-
vince its founders that their time and
money has not heen bestowed ia vain The
Jones Library Association is an institution
Of which Manitowoc may justly be proud.
The books purchased we're selected BY
CHAs. H. WALKER, Esq, President of the
Association, and whoever examines the cat.
alogue will admit that this important and
delicate task could not have been con6ded
to better hands. There is not a trashy
book in the library. There is not one that
can be read understandingly, and the reader
feel that his time has been wasted in SO do-
ing. The selection embraces the best
standard works of history, biography ard
popular science; and, in fiction, the pro-
ductions of such classic writer's as DICKENS,
IRVING, HAWTHORNE, THACKERAf, etc.
For the number of volumes embraced in it,
we do not believe there is a better miscella-.
neous library in the country Besides this,
the leading daily and weekly papers, of all
shades OF politics, and from all sections of
the country, may always be found on file in
the reading room of the association, which
is large, pleasant and well-furnished. Dr.
VANWINKLE having removed from the VIII
lage, Dir. HI. d. SMALLEY is acting as Lii
brarian until permanent appointment
shall be made, and he will attend to all app
plcations for books. If the Jones Library
Association does not receive cordial sup
port the intelligence of those tor whose ben
eft it was established has been greatly
over estimated.

SCHOOL ELECTION The most ex-
letting little fight in political way,
ever held In this city came off to-day
for President, Viec President, Sec'y,
Treasurer and one Director for this
Independent Sub-school District. A
direct issue personally and politically
was made by our enemies against
DR. Warden and our entire ticket, and
incidentally against Prot. Hastings
and his corps Of teachers. TO accom-.
plish our defeat, and to enable them
to establish an /" Institoot y on the
Petroleum V. Nasty plan, they re-
sorted to heavy importations and
.aked the Township from upper hog
thief to Sugar Creek, with
"a fine tooth comb for voters
The aConsekcns' Of these brilliant
sManoovers" is the election of our
ticket by 1Os to III on total vote
Of 53O-for which splendid result, we
are indebted to the bully work ofour
faithful republicans, and those indie
pendent democrats who had more re
gard for a good school, and q faithful
board officers, than for an Insignificant
political triumph of a lot of two by
four township politicians.

Down on the Copp Convon-
ton,

The following is what the Copper
head editor Of the Oskaloosa Con-
sentative saysof the late Copperhead
Pow Wow at Des Moines. 1t argues
a lovely state of harmony existing
among the untcrrified
OUR STATE CONVENTION.
The Conscroator being ssdevoted to
truth, justice and common sense" it
bchooves rs to speak the truth, and
do justice to our late State Conven-
ton, by giving our readers a common
sense view of its operations.
In the first place, it was more en-
thusiastic than harmonious, more
impetuous than Statesman-like more
excitable than parliamentary, and
more talka.ive than business-lilxe,
and while it was largely attended by
sober and intelligent delegates, we
must confess that it was principally
controlled by fow demagogues,
whom we must lay on the shelf if we
expect to have Democratic party
per Sc in Iowa.
.Thata part of our platform was
foisted in and carried by storm, con-
trary to the wishes OF a majority of
delegates present, and in conflict
with principles of justice and the SEN
timents of the people, there can be
no doubt. And since certain unnec-
essary and uncalledfor measures
were introduced and carried without
a parallel in the history of parlia-
mentary bodies, we shall await tho
sitting of the great National Con-
vention at New York on the 4th day
of July, next, sincerely hoping and
believing that demagogueism will
not then rule the hour, and that sthe
greatest good for the greatest num-
Der" will be the basis upon which we
shall plant our standard for the
mighty conflict.
