One Of the most shocking affairs that
has taken place for many months to
disturb our quit neighborhood occurred
last Sunday. Mr.. Edwards on returning
from church found his premises had
been taken possession of by e dog hav-
ing every indication of hydrophobia.
MIR. Edwards soon gave the brute to IN
derstand that retreat would be the bet
ter part OF valor. Alarm was Immediate
~ given. After pursuit of over three
miles the brute was overtaken and dis
patched by MIR. John Davies. Mr.. Da-
vles displayed good deal ot pluck and
muscle which is truly praise worthy as
as the track taken by the dog was for q
greater part of the way through fields
causing those in pursuit to wade through
snow in many places nearly to the waist.
The body of the dog plainly indicated
what fearful state of madness he had
reached, as he had torn large pieces of
flesh from his own body. The dog
proved to be the property OF Mrs. Jen-
k1ns. Great fears are entertained fo-
her two youngest sons aged res pectively
4 and Z, as they were bitten the eve
ming before by the dog, causing slight
wounds. No notice was taken of it at
the time by the family, as they supposed
they had been hectoring the dog. As
soon as it was found whai critical con-
dltlon the children were in they were i'm
medlately taken to Sheboygan to receive
treatment by DR.. Clark. Mrs. Jenkins
had six head of cattle, two sheep and sew
eral swine badly bitten. Mr.. Edwards
has sustained no other damage than the
loss of his beautiful rat-terrier which he
found torn to shreds and dragged under
the bee-house. Several dogs were bitten
before the brute could be overtaken and
killed. We would advise the dog own
ers of this vicinity to keep their pups
in close quarters from this out, as GER
tain destruction awaits the canine tribe
of these parts-at least for some time to
come.

Hon. r. D. SMART.-In looking over
the proceedings of the legislature from
day OF day, no name, aside from the
names OF our own Representatives, has
had as much interest for US as that of
Hon. r. D. Smart, assemblyman for the
Manitowoc district. Having known him
intimately in his early manhood, it has
given US keen satisfaction to observe the
steadfast confidence manifested toward
him by the people Of Manitowoc, and the
many tokens of appreciation bestowed
by his colleagues in the legislature and
the press correspondents at Madison.
His integrity is undoubted, and he has
displayed eminent capacity for the bus
mess of Legislation. -Ahnepee Record.

very largely attended owing to the in

AS THE election of town officers ap-

that law of the last Legislature pro-
hibits one person holding the Office of
Town Treasurer and Town Assessor at
the same time. AS the two Offices have
often been filed by the same person,
the electors viii have to be careful not
to follow custom at the expense of le-

Murder in Hichland Pnrish.

In the State News column of the REPUB-
LIcAN announcement has already been made
of the killing, in Richland parish, of w. L.
Wilkinson by Henry Hart. A letter from
Mr.. Wiley P. Mangham, editor of the Rich
land Beacon, written from Rayville to
distinguished citizen, ohAracterizes it as q
sickening murder. Mr.. Wilkinson was
quietly at work picking peas, when Hart
walked up to him and inflicted two mortal
wounds with shots from Q navy revolver
He died the next day. Hart is supposed to
be in Richlsnd or Ouachita parish. Mr..
Manghan suggests that the Governor
should issue Q proclamation Of reward for
his apprehension, and probably that will be
attended to. But % attoeious murder
should enlist the enersiep of every citizen
for the capture of the asaassin without any
reward. 1t is to the interest OF all that he
should be brought to iustice. Mr.. Wilkin.
son's widow, 90 Mr.. Mangham says, has
already offered = reward Of $500. 1t is, or
should be, an object with all, equally with
her, to avenge the murder of her husband.
If reward is offered BY the Governor, 80
much the better for those who do their
duty, but the fugitive should be succeso-
fully searched for without any other in.
centive than Abhorence Of his crime.
