LOST OVERHEARD.

A singular case of drowning occurred
off Two Rivers Point, Tuesday afternoon.
The schooner Arrow was bound north, to
Fish Greek, but encountering head
wind and heavy sea, returned to the
shelter of the Point. She was manned
by three men, who from all accounts had
drank rather heavily on the day men,
toned. One of the men, while standing
forward, heard splash and saw that the
captain had fallen overheard. He i'm
mediately ran aft and lowered the boat
and got into it, but the fellow at the
wheel allowed the vessel to run before
the wind and hurried away from where
the captain fell overheard, and he sank
before the boat reached him. The man
in the boat was unable to make the ves-
sci again, which kept straight on with
all sail set. He then made for the shore
in heavy sea, and reached it little
north Of this city about dark. Capt. p
Edwards of the tug Commodore Mutt
was notified and, with the sailor, went in
search of the schooner. She was found
with difficulty as she had no lights out
although at anchor. The sailor on board
was found in tie cabin in n drunken
slumber, seemingly Indifferent as to the
fate of his two companions. The whole
matter is little mysterious and there
may be something more than appears on
the surface. The captain belongs to
Milwaukee and leaves family consist
ing of wife and four children.

Within period of four months, up
wards of forty sheep have been destroy
ed within a circumference of four miles
by the carnivorous members of the canine
tribe. But last Sunday night a slaughter
took place, which from the number of
Hocks attacked and the sensation produc-
ed, remains unparalleled in the annals of
mutton. Jas. levitt, John Ready, p.
Pagan, JAS. Floyd and Frank Herdlicka
were the losers. In all twenty sheep
were killed and several wounded. On
the following day Michael Mulguine's
dogs were found feasting on the carrion.
Suspicion was aroused, litigation was
threatened; but nothing could shake the
faith which the owner had in the honesty
and innocence of his watch dogs; but
some of the family in their trepidation
that the imputed crimes might be real
led the dogs to scafold; but the piteous,
earnest opportunities of those which were
about to be swung into eternity secured
a reprieve. A case to determine the guilt
or innocence of the dogs will be tried be-
fore Justice Engelbrecht next Tuesday.
at 10 a. M; but one of the parties being
apprehensive of defeat will probably Sc
cure the services of some of the legal fra.
ternity of Manitowoc. AS a result of
this late experience there is an universal
demand for law commanding the ex.
tripation of the ubiquitous ours. Expe-
rlence IN sheep killing is the most con
Vlnclng argument IN favor of dog law.

THE MANITOWOC COUNTY FAIR

There are but few weeks to pass be-
fore the time appointed for the fair at
Clark's Mills. We know not what prepa-
ratlons farmers are making with view
to attendance and assistance in other
ways. Owners of fast stock are diligent-
ly at work training their horses, and
there Is no doubt that the best trotting
ever done in the county will be seen on
the race course at Clark's Mills this year.
But while trotting should receive its
share of attention, farmers should not be
Negligent OF their interest, nor lose sight
of the fact the fair is an agricultural
institution. 1t shouldreceive their liberal
support even though frowned upon by
others. Give it all the assistance in your
power.

THEODORE FRERRICKs of Cooperstown,
has a peculiar name, but that does not
justify people in laying violent hands up
on him when he chooses to go into a
saloon. George Schulz first tried his
hand at battering Theodore. The bat
tered party sought peace in another sa-
loon, where Peter Netzer continued the
programme begun by Schulz. Theodore
came to town to ascertain whether the
state of Wisconsin had deserted him.
The state stood by him and sailed the
battering parties, Netzer paying S22.91
and Schulz S2S.25. Shuh also gave q
bond to the state that he would let peo-
pie alone in future and particularly the
battered Frerricks.

The people of Manitowoc county got
the opinion that Joe Rankin ought to be
a candidate for congress if he was not,
and in the assembly district conventions
held throughout the county men were
chosen who would support him cordially.
Mr.. Rankin did not announce himself as
a candidate, but delegates favorable to
him were chosen as compliment to him
on the part of the local democracy.
Should Rankin's name not be presented
the delegation is solid for Bragg.
