William Tell ran hay ranch near
Bergeled about $50 years ago. Tell had
lived in the mountains all his life, and
shot cham0is and chipmunks with a
cross gun till he was bad man to stir
up. At that time Switzerland was run
principally by lot of carpet-baggers
from Aurtria, and Tell got down on
them about the year 1907. Itseems that
Tell wanted the government contract to
furnish hay at $45 ton for the year
1906, and Gessler, who was controlling
the patronage of Switzerland, let the
contract to an Austrian who had a big
lot of condemned hay further up the
gulch. One day Gessler put his plug hat
up on telegraph pole, and issued order
236, regular series, to the effect that
every snOozer who passed down the toll
road should bow to it. Gessler happen
ed to be i'm behind the bush when Tell
went by, and he noticed that Bill said
"shoOt the hat and didn't salute it, so
he told his men to gather Mr.. Tell in
and put him in the refrigerator. GEES
sler told him that If he would shoot a
crab apple from the head of his only son
at 200 yards with cross gun he would
give him his liberty. Tell consented,
and knocked the apple higher than Gil
roy's kite. Old Gessler, however, no.
ticed another arrow sticking in Will
liam's girdle and asked him what kind
of flowery break that was. Tell told
him that If he had killed the kid instead
of bursting the apple he in intended to
drill hole through the stomach of Mr..
Gessler. This made Cessler mad again
and he took Tell on picnic up the river
in irons. Tell jumped off when he got
good chance and cut across bend in the
river, and when the picnic party came
down he shot Gessler deader than a
ackerel-Laramie boomerang.

that will no doubt surprise many people
who have supposed that they were in
full sympathy with Sabbath Dissertation

resolutions they adopted speak out open

ment of the Sunday laws and of such
an increase of the license fees as would
increase the revenue andidiminish the

he returned he received an ovation from

the city officials, who wanted to show
their spite against the Secretary of the
Navy, had the commander of the Talla-
poosa arrested for violating the sanitary
regulations of the city by not permit
ting his vessel to be inspected. The
navy yard is not in Norfolk, and neither
the Secretary or Commander Kellogg
were aware of any such municipal
regulation, or they would have recog-

The Chicago Times of March 18th contains

lied and stripped Of all its contents, or nearly
so. Cloths and clothing, furnishing goods
and trimmings were taken from them in the
night, while they were sleeping, and when
they supposed, as business men ordinarily
do, that all was safe. By reason Of this
robbery these gentlemen became crippled in
their business affairs they had been robbed
Of what they expected they could
turn in in the way of paying their debts
and they were compelled to do the best they
could and compromise with their creditors,
giving up all that thieves and robbers had
not taken from them. To add insult To injury,
to follow a too frequent example, portion of
the community charged them-the Zahnen
Bros. with disposing Of their own goods to
defraud their creditors, and they have lived
under that cloud, unjust and ungenerous, all
these years. But now their deliverance
comes A miserable felon, belonging to the
worst gang of robbers that ever infested a
country, and known as the " Poke Wells
GaEg, on his way to prison, has confessed
the whole affair, and states that about ten

is no installing the identity of the parties
referred to, and it is not only our pleasure

OBITUARY.

KenOsha has been for the last few weeks,
in some degree, the house of mourning. We
have had the sad news fall upon us that
this and that person has taken his number
in the plane where eventually we all shall
go, in 'fhe silent halls of death
Mr.. Joseph Dunnebeck, who, at the age of
sixteen years, came to this country with his
parents, has gone. Not able to meet the
force of an oppressive disease. he quietly
submitted to the inevitable.
Mr.. Dunnebeck was born in the Province
Of Westphalia, in Germany, Sept. End, 1881,
AS has been said, he came to this country
at the age of sixteen on a sailing vessel, and
went to Detroit Mich, where he served an
apprenticeship in his trade. Thence he went
to Mendoza, ILL.,, and then to Kenosha,
where he has since lived. Always honest,
always kind, always the man you were
glad to meet, always the man you could
trust. Mr. Dunnebeck has gone; gone from
our midst; gone from the family he loved and
cared for; gone from The society of which he
was the head, and which has no other OBJ
ject than charity; gone from us all, and we
can only extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the afflicted family, and assure them that he
who is gone was one of our best and most
respected citizens.
