Last Wednesday evening the quiet vii
lage of Lake Mills was thrown into great
excitement by a shooting affair which oc-
Cured in front of Duff's saloon on Main
Street. The shooting was done by a
woman named Mrs. Hattie Blair, whose
victim was Thomas Flynn, an Individual
who had few days before turned up
from the pineries, Flynn's offense in
the eyes of Mrs Blair was because of his
refusal to marry her. Flynn is reported
to have been drunk when attacked and
received bullet wound under the left eve

was not dangerous and Flynn soon rallied
from the effects of it. The female shootist

appearance was placed at 81, 900 which
she procured. Flynn was held as a wit
ness and lodged in Jefferson Jail for safe

Summer. Traye5 Prospects.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
Company are making arrangements for
a heavy passenger travel during the com
ing summer, and will place large num-
Der of extra trains on the Chicago and
the eastern end of the La Crosse Divi-
sions, to accommodate people visiting the
summer resorts on the Company's lines.
The Oconomowoc special from Chicago,
leaving this city about 7:30 A. M for
that popular resort, will be put on the
road with the opening Of the summer sea-
son, for the convenience of the patrons of
that place. The day trains between Chi
cago, this city and La Crosse will also be
resumed. These are more especially in
tended for the accommodation of local
travel from points on the La Crosse Di-
vision, and for the use of people visiting
Kilbourn City and the Dells. Another
popular resort, Waukesha, may be reached
during the months of the summer season
by the regular Prairie du Chen trains,
the Monroe express, the Waukesha
''scoot'' and the Madison special These
will amply provide for that point. This
Company will increase the number of
trains enteringIthis city by about eight
regular passengers runs, beside the Sun
day Watertown special excursion, to run
between this city and Watertown June
ton and return on each Sunday evening.

Adam Bodden, who was killed by the
cars near Lomira last week was the oldest
son Of the late sheriff of this county, ia
cob Bodden, and was we'll known here.
The deceased was working on the rail
road during the winter months, and was
attempting to get off the cars while they
were in motion. He was an industrious
young man, and his death is much re-
GREETED.
A murderous assault was committed on
Monday evening last, near Hylands' cor
ners, on the road between this place and
Beaver Dam. A Polander, considerably
under the influence of liquor, attacked a
German by the name of Keno with whom
he was riding home. For some time it
was thought that Keno would die. The
Polander waived an examination, and
was held in $500 bail.
Circuit Court adjourned On Saturday
last, having occupied nearly three weeks.
In the last case, State VS. Howe, for bas-
tardy, the jury found defendant guilty.
The case is of local interest here, and
several of our citizens were summoned as
witnesses.
The Lutheran Church Society are pre-
pairing to build fine brick church in the
town of Burnett, the coming season.
