has prevailed here to-day over a tragedy

lent that with her children she went to the
house of a neighbor, named Wapponer
to pass the night. This enraged

ne proceeded to Wagoner's
and finding window open entered through
it and stealthily made his way to the room
in which his wife was in bed, and assault
cd her with a huge butcher knife, with
which he had equipped himself. A young
son interfered to protect his mother, when
the brutal parent disemboweled the lad
causing his immediate death. The out
cries of Mrs. Klingboil brought the mem
bers Of the family to her assistance, when
Klingboil, defying everybody, fed the
scene. An elder son came in haste to this
city and reported the occurrence
and returned with Sheriff Halcomb
and Chief of Police ShortalI.
Reaching Klingboir's premises
the officers found him in the NOW of his
barn, where he proposed to stay. The Off
GERS undertook to dislodge the man, using
a long pole for the purpose. Suddenly
Klingboil sprang at them with the greatest
ferocity, lunging at them with his knife.
Shortan fired at him, the ball
entering his body and inhicting
a mortal injury. Though shot
Klingboil flew at Sheriff Holcomb, cutting
his hand, and as he made a second leap at
him, was brought to the ground by a blow
on the head, the knife blade being buried
in the side Of the barn and breaking off.

head render it certain that he will die.
The ball entered at the hip, SCATTERING the
bone and passed into a vital part. King

served a term i'll the p~enitentiary for a
murderous assault. And a second time

for a similar misdeed. He was the secord
husband of the woman he attempted to
murder, whose maiden name was Anna
Poinsdalberger, who has had a sensational
life at least. Her first husband committed
suicide, and her father adopting the same
method of making his exit from this
world. Before entering upon her second
matrimonial venture she was earnestly
warned against an alliance with Klingboil,
but she neglected to heed the s~alutary ad-
vice. The cuts she received at the hands
of her understanding husband, although
painful, the surgeons say will not prove
fatal, and her recovery will be immediate.

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. 25.-One of the most
singular and startling cases of sudden and
mysterious disappearance ever known in
this city was made public late yesterday
afternoon. Owing to the wealth and
prominence of the family, and the ex-
ceedingly mysterious in which
the child disappeared, the event has at
tracted widespread interest, and created
the utmost excitement throughout the
city. The facts in the strange case are
detailed as follows: Between 4 and 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Casper,
Henneke 6 Co., doing business at 70 to SO
Buffalo street, and residing on the south
side, appeared at the south side station,
very much excited, and reported that his
daughter Maggie had mysteriously disap-
peared. He told the facts of the case
briefly, and then hurriedly departed to in
stitute a search for the lost child. Every
officer searched his beat, and the detectives
went through every known house of ILL
fame or designation in the city. The day
officers nave been posted, and the police
department is doing all within its power.
Sheriff Rugee, who is a particular friend of
Mr.. Henneke, is taking a great interest in
The search. He and Mr.. Henneke have
been together to-day, and went to all cen
trail points to give information and star
the hunt. The ~janitor, deputy sheriff But :
Ter, thoroughly searched every nook and
corner of the school block this forenoon.
The locality contains a myriad of small
holes and dark places where the child
might have hidden in play and been
caught. This is a foremost theory, and
has been acted on, but without the least
trace. She could easily
in play have concealed
herself and been unable to get out again,
thereby %perishing in a terrible manner.
The search was continued all of last night,
and is still being made to-day. The de-
~tectives are bafied, and so many theories
are advanced that it is hard to arrive at
any tangible conclusion as to the cause or
manner of the child's disappearance. Mr..
Hennike continued the search during the
entire night, and all of his friends and EN-
ployes were out until long after mid
night.
Margaret Hennike was eleven years
of age last August, and
was a m~edium-sized girl for her age. A
