A BIGAMrsT ON HoPsFpAcK

IN this city on horseback, Friday last.
he offered his hsrse for sale a. the low price
of S26. 90, and the offer was so temptinr that
the animal was at once purchased by Mr..
Theodore Reack Jr. The transa ction having
bad look, and the conduct of the nam
being such as to arouse suspicion. he was
accordingly arrested by Under Sheriff Giles
and lodged in the lookup to await develop-
ments On the recommendation of the
prisoner Sheriff Giles went to Portage City
Friday evening to find out about his antece-
dents; Sheriff Giles learning nothing
satisfactory about the prisoner, he proceeded
to Montello Marquette county, where he
met Deputy Sheriff Simson of that county,
who already held warrant issued against
Mackay for running away with horse on
which was chattel mortgage, and both off :
GERS arrived in this city on Saturday mornin g
last. The prisoner was taken in charge
J
for Portage City by the afternoon train on
Saturday, where the Sheriff had a team in
waiting to take them to Monticello the cuun-
ty Eeat of Marquette county. 1t appear s
that the fellow Mackay is rascal of no or
binary pretensions, and that when he gets
through with serving ont the penalty at
tached to the offeuse of taking horse out
of the county without the consent of the
mortgage e, he will be at once arrested for
the crime Of bigamy.
Mackay went into Marquette county late
last fall from near Green Bay, where he has
wife and two children. About four
months since he married Miss Lloyd of
Oxford, highly respectable young lady,
who of course was notaware that the rasc al
had another wife living. To show how

SUPERSTITION consequence OF

SUpERsTITIoN.-In consequence OF
the prevailing superstitious belief in the
unlucky charac ter of Friday, railroads very
reasonably expect a large decrease IN the
number of passengers carried on that day OF
the week Railroad statistics show much
less number of passengers carried on Friday
than on any other day. Let those " no are dis
posed to doubt the truth Of this statement,
and set it down as an old fogy notion, take
the trouble to watch the arrival and depart
ure of trains at our depots for several
consecutive Fridays and We are confident that
they will bear US out in the theory we have
advanced. The falling off of travel on Fiji
day can be explained in no other way than
on the principle that many persons dislike
to start on q journey on a day which prom
ises them bad luck.

ISoEspyAR1sm AND DRovs1Ne..

INoENDIAR1sM AND DROWNING
In the early part of July last, the dwelling
and barn of Henry Klug, of the town of
Hebron, in the Southern part of the county,
were burned. The property was heavily in
sured in the Madison Mutual, and at tn
time ofthe fire it was looked upon By the
neghbors and those acquainted with the
circumstances, as very mysterious affair
manned unnoticed until Sheriff SwelIenbach
had his attention cal led to the case. This
officer proceeded to investigate affairs con-
nected with the fire, and from what could
be learned considered himself justified in
arresting the owner of the property, Klug,
for setting fire to the premises, and his
father-in-law Christof Bruch, as an access
Dry, with very strong suspicious resting on
John Bruch, SON of the latter, as also an
accessory. The arrests were n ade Tuesday
of last week. and the parties taken before
Justice Rogers, of Fort Atkinson, for exam
ination. All three of the party made an
open attempt to bribe the Justice, offering
Mr.. Rogers, $3.50 to dismiss the case. This of
itself gave strong proof of their guilt, and
Justice Rogers bound KIug and the old man
Bruch owe: for trial at the Circuit Court
in the sum of $1,000 each, $500 for incendi-
arism and 500 for bribery. Klug obtained
bailland was released, but Bruch unable to
procure bail, was lodged in the county Jail
at Jefferson. John BrGch was not exa aim
ed on charge of incendiarism, as it was
thought there was not proof sufl lent
against him, but being equally gu lily with
the others on the bribery charge he IS
also bound over for this offence in the
of $500. Young Bruch procured bail. bat
fearing his arrest as another accessory to
the incendiarism, he suddenly disappearad,
and was now here to be found although
active search was made for him all day
Sunday by officers. On Monday morning
last, however, his dead body was fouad in
Bark River, short distance south Of The

though they had at home what what they

IVhat makes them still more desirable is
their uniform volume oftone, which enable
