Attempted BurgIaries.

Between 12 and o'clock last Sunday
morning another attempt was made to
break into the clothing store Of ]. II. Bug
bee on Main Street. A young man by the
name of A. ]. Capron was sleeping in the
store at the time, and was armed with re-
vOlYers, but he was too much alarmed 10
use them, although he was awakened by
the noise and could easily have prevented
the escape of the burglars. By removing
grating from rear cellar window the
burglars gained an entrance to the cellar
and when young Capron awoke they were
endeavoring to raise trap door that opens
into the store. Capron however mustered
courage sufficient to make noise to fright
en- off the burglars who left behind, a mill
bar-a tool that is used IN a saw mill and
which resembles a jimmy-and pick-ax.
By quietly opening the rear door while
the burglars were at work at the trap door
young Capron could have prevented their
escape and at the same time give the alarm.
This is she second attempt to burglarize
this store since Mr.. Bugbee has been its
proprietor. The mill bar that was left was
stolen from Bugbee's mill about week
previous to this time.

A Horse Turns a Somerset.

A young horse owned by ]. D. Hubert,
and in charge Of Chas. NJ. Rice, was
hitched to an insecure post on the
premises of D. W. Haskell last Saturday
afternoon. The animal becoming fright
ened drew back, taking with him the post
and started on a run; in attempting to
Jump from a terrace over a fence into the
street the horse struck his forward feet on
the picket fence, and turned complete
somerset, striking on the plank walk some
three feet below the terrace. Strange as
it may appear the animal sustained no ap-
parent injuries and it was ridden to the
Harbor that evening as though nothing
unusual had happened.

Slight Fires.

Mr. 'SleQ van Week Is conductor on
the Franklin Division, L. S. & NJ. S. Ry,
and on Saturday morning last, about three
o'clock, he was walking down the track be-
tween Centre and Prospect Streets, when
he discovered large blaze in the vicinity
Of Hitcheocks shops. Upon going to the
vicinity he found u fire raging among the
hickory logs owned by Messrs. Snyder
& Harris, manufactures of shafts and
poles. He ran to Mr.. Hitchcock's
house, only short distance off, and
gave the alarm. Fortunately a cistern
was near by and by one hours hard
work the fire was extingulshed without the
aid of the fire department, and with dam
age to the logs of not over $40. The fire
is supposed to have been caused by some hot
ashes that had been dumped in the vicinity.
Had it not been discovered as it was it
would probably have communicated to the
building and the loss been heavy.
In this building are located the extensive
shaft and pole works of Snyder & Harris,
Mcclure Bros. & Cos fifth wheel manufac-
tory, and Mr.. Hitohcock's machine shop
and skeweF factory, al! of which give en-
ployment to no less than so hands.
A night watchman has now been en-
ployed by Messrs. Snyder & Harris.
ANOTHER BLAZE
Was discovered last Sunday morning about
nine o'clock by some news boys as they
we're passing through Vine Street. 1t
proved to be under the front steps of John
Warmers house; the boys gave the alarm
andit was extinguished with few pals OF
water Cause not known; damage slight.

THE Lewis will case which has attract
ell so much attention and on which so
much effort has been expended 10y the
counsel on both sides, WAS decided yes
terday. ". J. Turner was the counsel
for the contestant and L. J. Nash for the
legatee. There certainly was never a
suit in this county so stubbornly contest
ed nor on which lawyers expended more
labor. Each attorney took one day in
his argument to the court and in the ere-
paration of briefs, law books were Dor
rowed from Milwaukee libraries. The
attorneys became interested on account
of the questions involved, on which au-
thorities were conflicting, and they will
have the satisfaction Of having added
greatly to their stock of knowlcdge on
the law of wills.
The decision was in favor OF the
prepayment, and the opinion of Judge
klrwan is spoken of as very able pro-
ducion. The case will probably find its
way to the supreme court for final adju-
dication.

THE CITY CHARTER.

Personally VIC have no desire to oiter
an explanation in response to the de-
naands OF the N1ord Hiestea, rs to how
the city charter cost S72, the contract
calling for $50. But in justice to the
city council, we shall explain the matter
to tie entire satisfaction Of the people If
not to the Nord Ji'osten.
The publishers OF the PmoT contracted
to furnish 500 copies of the charter At
a certain price per page, the maximum
price of the whole, not to exceed $50. The
charter rs contracted for, cost just S58. 80,
and Il bill for that amount was presented
to the board. A number OF ordinances
were lately passed, and it was requested
that these be incorporated III the work
being prepared. The work contracted
Tor was completed about four weeks be-
fore the pamphlets were sent to Milwau-
! kee to be bound, and we had to delay bind
/ ing in order 10 insert the ordinances.
The City Board signifed its willingness
to pass certain ordinances and the city
attorney was directed to draw them up.
/ ali were not formally adopted when
| inserted, though Mr.. Estabrook had the
| assurance of the council that they would
/ be, and they were, at the last meeting.
/ An index Was needed also, and the city
attorney prepared one which adds greatly
to the value OF the work. This extra
work was charged Cor at the rate OF 75c a
page, the very price which we charge
| attorneys for briefs when they take hut
IS copies though there were 500 copies
printed for the city. And the amount Of
matter IN a page of the charter is more
than in page of brief work. This ex-
ira work makes IN addition Of $3.50 TO
the amount specified i'll The contract
Any extra work was really loss to us,
for the reason that the contract price
was SO low that the work could not be
performed without loss to the printer.
One other item not charged for, and
not contracted for, and which Mr..
Schmidt will readily acknowledge added
greatly to the labor incident to the pre-
paration OF the work, was the marginal
notes. An abstract of every section is
noted on the adjoining margin. These
notes added greatly to the labor Of the
city attorney and to the parties doing
the mechanical labor. Mr.. Schmidt
need not be alarmed, the present city
| council will not strain its conscience to do
| the PILOT a favor. And now that ques-
tions are in order, we should be pleased
to learn under what color Of authority the
Nord Weston printed the city charter
and charged tie city at the rate of 45c a
folio. Before replying, Mr. Schmidt
! had better examine the law relating to
the publication of local laws.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUI
eide.

Last Thursday night Dennis Haggerty
fulfilled the prediction that he would do
some desperate deed. He had grown SO
reckless on account Of the life he was
leading that he came to place no value
on human life, and did not seem TO care
what became of himself. On Thursday
night, after attempting to shoot his wife,
as she says, but this is doubted by o
number, he placed the mazzle OF a re-
yoIver close to his own neck and fred
twice, the bullets passing through his
neck and upward, toward the posterior
part of the jaw. At first it was believed
that he could not live but now hopes are
entertained of his recovery.
When Haggerry was discharged from
the Jail in this city some weeks ago, he
purchased a small revolver and a box of
cartridges. Whether he had design on
some other persons life at that time or
OH his own, IS not known. He was fol-
lowed by Under Sheriff Murphy, who
took the revolver away from him. Hag-
gerty was at first inclined to resist, but
on the weapons being taken from him
by force, remarked that perhaps it was
better he should not have it. Some time
after going home, he attempted to cut
/ his wife'a throat with a razor, but
! failing, he ran away to avoid arrest
Deputy Sheriff Sheahan captured him
at Depere and he was brought before
Justice Morrisey, who Issued the warrant.
rs Haggerty had previously been put
under bonds TO keep the peace and as
his property was pledged for his good
conduct, his wife i'll order TO save the
property from forfeiture, refused to ap-
pear against him, and he was discharged.
/ 1t seems that after this he resolved tc
reform. He procured the services Of
/ Rev. Father SchO.ter to mediate between
him and his wife. lie promised to set
tie the whole property upon Eer and to
take pledge that he would never again
drink Intoxicating liquors. Either the
recollection Of past abuse on the advice
of friends made her memorable. The
clergyman seeing that a settlement could
not be effected, left, and Haggerty made
still more desperate by the failure to adj
lust matters with his wife, committed the
deed which came near ending his life.
Mrs. Ha9gerty states that before shoot
ING himself he seized her and discharged
one barrel at her, but failing to hit her,
she broke away from him.
! Nobody seems to know where he OBJ
tanned the last revolver. But procuring
/ this second one showed a fixed deter
mination to iniure himself or some one
else. 1t is possible that the refusal Of
his wife to prosecute him may have
softcned him somewhat and hence his
! effort to so arrange matters that they
could again live together. Failing in
this his bad passions again prevailed
He was brought to the city aud confined
in the county Jail last Saturday. He says
he discharged a shot from the revolver
before shooting himself, but did not
shoot at his wife. There is no danger Of
! his death.
