THE MARSHFIELD TRAGEDY

Marshfeld October IA. Keves
and his wife Maria have not been
living together for several months, he
charging her with inidelity and with
being an improper protector for their
16-year-old daughter Addie. Mrs.
Reyes recently made preparations 10
remove to another locality and he
caused an injunction to be served re-
straining her from taking the daughter.
The matter was finally settled, Keyes
claiming the furniture on settlement
On Wednesday evening he called at
the residence of Willis Graves, where
his wife was stopping, and after ex-
changing few words with her. shot
her, the ball entering over the left eve
and coming out over the ear. He
fired second shot without effect and
walked leisurely away. The wound,
though serious. is not fatal one. and
Mrs. Reyes is reported as being quite
comfortable. Imme date search was
made for Reyes, which resulted in his
arrest, and he is now locked up.
Reyes was under the influence Of
liquor on the day of the shooting.
The act was undoubtedly premeditat-
ed, as early in the evening he related
a strange dream, which he said meant
death in the family, and when laughed
at, replied 'you will see." Many
similar circumstances point the same
way.

beautiful young lady of Il yaers.
always pleasant and cheerful, full of
fun and always ready for a good tim e
She was her mothers comfort and the
idol of her brothers. who always found
pleasure in waiting upon her. In
fact this sister was as lamp unto
their feet and the Joy of their hearts.
Her death has removed gem from
the family which cannot be replaced.
The family have the heartfelt sympa-

ces of her death are about as follows:
Thursday evening in company with
her mother she visited Miss Mullen

joking with her mother and friends.
While going up the stairs that lead to
Miss Welch's rooms over Mrs. Hamm' S
store. she became dizzy and grew worse

Born LEGS OFF.-Tuesday morn
ing Drs. Witter and Robinson were
summoned to the residence of Mr.
VIM. Ayshford of this city, for the
purpose of performing a seriou:
surgical operation upon a railroad
brakeman, who had been run over by
Ia train of cars at Scranton. The
young mans name we learn is
William Mulchavy, whose home is al
Cedar Grove, Wis. He was employed
on the Green Bay road as a brakeman
ON freight train. When approach
ing Scranton in answer to the proper
signal he set brake on the front end
of the train and while hurryine
toward the back end of the train,
both feet suddenly slipped out from
under him. He was close to the end
of car and slipped between the cars
six OF them passing over him, crush
ing both limbs in diagonal manner.
The boys Immediately side-tracked
their train, detached their engine and
brought the young man to this city
as soon as it was possible. The
physicians decided that an amputation
of the limbs was nece ssary, but owing
to the almost lifeless condition of the
young man, they were delayed some
what in beginning the operation. One
limb was taken off above the knee and
the other a little above the ankle.
The work was we'll and speedily done
and hopes are entertained for the
young mans recovery though the
shock to his nervous system was
great. His father was telegraphed to
Immediately. There are good grounds
on which to hope for Mulchavy'
ultimate recovery as many cases have
proven successful. For example,
several years ago man had his feet
and hands frozen so badly that they
had to be amputated. DR.. Witter
was the surgeon who did the work.
The man fully recovered and is now
employed in Minneapolis mill and

ssTO WHAT BASE USES "

The monopolists must be hard hit.
for the Neeo York Trlbme-the
journal founded by Horace Greeley, -
but now the special defender and
apologist for monopoly crimes-comes
out with most unjustifable and un-
truthful attacks upon individual mem
bers of the anti-monopoly organization.
When we search for reason, we find
in an important document just issued
by the Anti-monopoly League, a
startling list of corporate aggression,
among which is the fact that White
law Ried, the present editor of the
Tribune, acted as Jay Gou1d's lobby
ist on the floor Of the United States
Senate to place railroad Judge upon
the supreme bench and it closes the
long list of specifications with the
following ringing charge which prob
ably fits closer than the talented editor
Of the Tribune likes
''That to perpetuate these abuses
the perpetrators thereof are now
seeking to control the thought of the
nation. Leading journals are pur-
chased with ill-gotten gains, and the
ablest editors in the country are
engaged to preach "peace on earth and
good will to men" in one column,
while misleading innocent investors
and villifylng patriotic citizens in the
others. "
The Tribune's subservieney to mon
oply interests at this time as compared
with it's sturdy fight for the right
when edited by grand old Horace
Greeley, irresistibly suggests Hamlet s
words, "To what base use we may
return Horatio - The anti-monopol-
lists whom the Tribune attacks may
console themselves, however, with the
fact that it will do them far more good
than harm. The people, and especial
ly the press of the country, understand
pretty well the animus of such attacks,

patience-and do not rush into form
