MADISON journal: The State Journal
Of last evening contained an item about
man who, "whjle in a state of intoxi-
cation, III the language of Olivette, was
nearly frozen to death in the capitol
park. This morning, about two or three
o'clock, Mike Quigley, a one-armed
man, residing at Pine Bluff, in the town
Of Cross Plains, was found living near
the stove IN the freight office of the st.
Paul Company, at West Madison, with
al al
cloth was torn from the mans body and
his life saved. The stump of the am
putated arm was found to have received
a bad burn, and other injuries we're dis
covered. Quigley had laid down by the
stove IN drunken stupOr, and even the
even the pain of scorching flesh was not
sufficient to shake off the effects of the
liquor.
The Nebraska parties, Brown and
Borden, who claimed to be IN posses sion
of information as to the whereabouts of
the missing girl, Maggie Hennecke,
Of Milwaukee, alleging that she had
been abducted by certain men who
were in the power Of Borden, have
at last been exposed in their plot
to deceive the parents Of the child.
They forwarded 10 Mr.. Hennecke from
Chicago a peach-stone basket and a
plain gold ring, with the letters " NJ.
II. " engraved on the inside, which they
claimed to have been worn by Maggie
and recovered by them. The articles
were at once pronounced frauds by Mr.
Hennecke, as the charm on Maggie's
neck WAS hickory-nut basket instead
of made from peach stone, and her
ring was inscribed on the outside. Thus
the alleged Nebraska abduction theory
is exploded.
