who made a raid on Fred Johnson's
bagnio the other night, gave himself up
to the police on Sunday night. A charge
was made against him for an assault to
do great bodily harm and he was arraign-
ed this afternoon, but his case was
adjourned for ten days. 1t appears that
one of the inmates, Nav Tilton. is
injured more severely than was at first
supposed. Besides external injuries
cuts and bruises, she was kicked. and, it
appears, badly injured internally. She
Is now IN a critical condition and it is
not ut all certain that she will not die
Weed was unaware of this fact when he
gave himself up. The district attorney,
therefore, had the case adjourned to
await the result of the girls injuries

roy was stabbed, but not seriously, in

gentleman made his escape, but his
identity is pretty certain and it is prob

EAU CLAIRE Press: Last winter the
body of a Norwegian was found in his
cabin on a homestead in the town of
Ludington. When found the man had
been dead some time and his stock was
almost starved. A brother living with him
was missing and no trace of him could be
found. The county was searched in all
directions, and many conlectures were
made, some pointing to murder, others
to suicide. But the finding of the miss
ing brother on Saturday evening mysti-
ties the mystery. Mr. MacCumber,
who came to the city yesterday morning,
furnishes the following: Last Saturday
evening a boy who was out in the woods,
a short distance from the late residence
of the brothers, had his curiosity aroused
by the actions of his dog. who was bark
ing loudly and very much excited over
something lying in the brush An exam
lnation of small thick clump of bushes
revealed the skeleton Of man with a
bullet hole through his skull and a gun
lying on the bones of the legs. The
boy gave information to the ncighbors,
but 1t being late, nothing was done until
Sunday morning. On repairing to the
spot 1t was found that the bones had
been moved during the night. Some
hair, part of the jaw bone and the
absence of vegetation showed where it
had been lying. A search soon found
the remains lying a short distance from
there. 1t was found that the bullet had
gone entirely through the skull from
front to rear, leaving a hole about two
inches III diameter in the back of the
head. Means of identification were
found IN the moccasins found with the
bones. An inquest will be held to-day,
when it is probable that further facts
will be elected. Taking everything into
consideration it seems to us as if foul
murder bad been committed, and the
attempted removing of the bones of the
man would indicate that the guilty party
was yet IN the neighborhood The mat
ter is OF sufficient Importance to warrant
a thorough investigation on the part of
the proper authorities.
