LEHMKUHL & DICKE.

LII is said that "John" the bridge
tender is jealous of his neighbor Pat
Sullivan OF account of the easy times
the latter enjoys. Consequently when
lake crafts pass through Eighth street
bridge the dignitary who presides over
that thoroughfare advises the captain to
pass through the upper bridge for the
sake of being better sheltered from the
sea. AT the same time John is inwardly
congratulating himself over the fact that
when the usual signal is given Pat Sulli-
van will have to bessir himself from his
cozy quarters on the north end of the
bridge and repair to the scene of his
duties.

THE REEDSvILLE SHOOTING
CASE.

The trial of John Davis of Reedsville
for attempting to shoot Mrs. Link of
that place was concluded on Tuesday
afternoon.
The jury after being out about an
hour returned verdict of guilty of the
offense charged. The prosecution had a
pretty strong case throughout.
Quite number of the people who
reside in the village witnessed the trans
action, and the testimony of all of them
had a bad effect on the case of the
prisoner. The defense in the case was
that the act was committed in self de-
tense, Davis claiming that the man
Schulz who has since married Mrs. Link
first assaulted him. It was intimated be.
fore the trial that an attempt would be
made to show that the prisoner was in
sane when the crime was committed. but
If such an idea was at any time enter
tanned by the counsel for the defendant
it was given up before the trial.
Dav1s's appearance and demeanor in
the court room were not such as to iusti
fy the opinion that there is any thing
wrong with his mental balance. He told
his story on the witness stand in quite a
straightforward manner, and the only
time he hesitated at all was when cues
toned with regard to having been i'm
plicated in similar transaction before
he came to this county.
Judge ellison withheld sentence In the
case for few days, The statute penalty
Is imprisonment in the state prison for
not less than one nor more than five years.

LATER.-The testimony taken at the
inquest, which was concluded last night,
resulted pretty conclusiveiy in establish
ing the fact that the shooting was not
done designedly. Bauknecht's little boy,
a bright little fellow, told in a plain,
straightforward manner, a story that
corroborated the one told by his father.
Mrs. Bauknecht's aged father testified
that the couple have always lived excep-
tionally happy. Bauknechts own story
did not vary materially from that related
in Jail, except that he admitted having
drank more beer before going home than
was probably good for him, and this fact
no doubt accounts for his carelessness.
The verdict of the jury was that Mrs.
Bauknecht came to her death by a bullet
accidently fired from revolver careless
ly handled by her husband. Bauknecht
will be brought up in justice court to day,
where it is expected he will waive exam
ination. In that event an attempt will
be made to have him mildly sentenced
at the present term of court The deed
comes under the statutory definition of
manslaugter in the fourth degree.

A MACHINE AGENT by the name of
Boendel who formerly hailed from Chill
ton, has been playing off sharp on a
number of farmers in the southwest part
of the county, by collecting money on
notes which he failed to turn over to the
machine company. The farmers who
paid the money have been sued on the
notes and will probably all have to plank
down the second time. In the mean
time Boendel has hied himself away to
escape the terrors of the law and the

SAD AND FATAL TRAGEDY.

The wife of Henry Bauknecht, who re-
sid as on Main street just outside the city
limits, was killed by revolver fred while
in the hands of her husband on last
Tuesday evening about o'clock. A re
porter of The Pilot, in company with the
district attorney, drove out to the scene
OF the tragedy just after the killing of
the woman was announced. The parties
live In small wostory building, in the
kitchen of which the deed was transacted.
The appearance of the table indicated
that the evening meal had just been fin
ished. In one corner of the room was q
large pool of blood, and in the adjoining
room, on bed, lay Mrs. Bauknecht, ap-
parently dead, although the doctor pres
ent at the time stated that life WIS not
yet extinct. She died, however, about
five minutes afterward, and about an
hour after the shooting occurred. An
examination of the body showed that the
ball had struck just below the nostrils.
Immediately after the deed was commit
ted, Bauknecht went out and told some
of the neighbors what he had done. He
then came to the city, summoned DR..
Luhman and then gave himself up to the
sheriff. On account of the lateness of
the hour it was not deemed advisable to
hold an inquest on the remains until
morning. An officer and two assistants
were deputed to remain at the place until
the inquest should be held. Bauknecht
was next visited at the Jail. On entering
be inquired of the sheriff if his wife was
dead, and on being answered in the af-
firmative he became greatly excited
After short time he cooled down some
what and then related to the district at
torney the particulars of the affair. He
claims that he is away from home consid
erably, his business being that of dray-
man, and that at the request of his wife
he purchased the revolver about two
years ago. He expected to go on. chat
evening and was explaining to his wife
the mode of using the weapon when it
was accidently discharged with the re-
suit mentioned. He admitted that she
had used the weapon once some time ago,
but said that of late she had been unable
to discharged. Some of the parties who
live in the neighborhood, claim that
when Bauknecht came home he was
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
but while he admitted that he had drank
some, he denied that he was at all intox.
icated.
Mrs. Bauknecht, judging from her ap-
pearance, was a comparatively young
woman. probably about 30. Her hus-
band is perhaps few years older. Two
little children, boy of and girl OF
years are left motherless by the sad
event. 1t may be pretty hard to make
out whether the deed was done intention
ally or not, but even taking Bauknect's
version of the story, he is guilty of the
worst kind of criminal carelessness, as
he was fully aware that the revolver was
loaded while handling it.
