named Wright, over the head with an
axe, and mutilated his hands, then set
him adrift in the river with his little
eight year old son. The pair hoated
past this city in a helpless condition
and lodged at Presidents Island.

mony fthe child at second hand.

Death of Henry Hise.

On Tuesday of last week Mr. HENRY HIsE a
former resident of this city, but for the last eight
or nine years a resident of Chicago was in Otta-
wa pleasantly greeting his friends and apparent
lly in unusually good health. On the Monday
morning following his relatives here received a
dispatch that he had been taken suddenly and
dangerously i'll, and the same evening dispatch
was received announcing his death. He had for
some years been troubled with kidney disease,
and on Sunday he took Il slight cold, which sud
denly and fearfully eXacerbated his kidney COM
plant, terminating in his death. His father, Il
child and other relatives being buried here, it
was decided to bring his remains 10 Ottawa for
interment Arriving by the 10 p. train on the
c. +. l. II p road on Tuesday, they were thence
conveyed To the residence of VIM Osman, his
brother-in.law, and from there, accompanied by
a large funeral procession, to the cemetery and
buried hy the side of his kindred.
Mr.. Hise was born at Harrisburg, Pa, June
l4th, 1919. At a suitable age he was apprenticed
70 the business If trunk and harness making.
After his apprenticeship he pursued the business
for several years at Harrisburg, and marrying
Emma, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Lochman, soon
afterwards removed 10 Cincinnati, where, for
some years afterwards, in company with part
uer, he was largely engaged in the business Of
manufacturing trunks. The business ceasing to
be profitable, in 1858 he removed TO Ottawa,
where he became first engaged in the grocery
business, and subsequently, in company with the
late Richard Thorne, in the hide and leather
trade About nine years ago they sold out the
establishment TO the Bradfords, we believe, and
Mr. II. removed to Chicago, and soon afterwards
received an advantageous offer as a travelling
man, first for the large hardware house Of Hay
