Jerry Shea, Of Newport, Ills, ac-
companied by some stranger, came in
town on Monday afternoon, and be-
came little ''tired" from over-indul-
gence. Towards evening they started
north on the Racine road, driving quite
rapidly, and about six o'clock they
came back at a reckless speed, driving
their team in all sorts of ways. When
near Bendt & Hansen's store, on the
North side, they drove on to and over
a little child Of Louis Hensel, breaking
her ankle. An effort was made to stop
them, by some Of the witnesses of the
affair, but of no avail. The reckless
fellows succeeded in escaping, and are
probably beyond the state line. Such
fellows deserve the highest penalty of
the law, and it is to be hoped that in
this case these desperadoes will some
time be caught and summarily dealt
with.

seems that for some time the best Of

something to drink. In the evening
after they had retired to their several
rooms, Mrs. Sanborn, the matron Of
the Poorhouse, heard an outcry. She
