Richland county has case wherein a
man murdered his wife and then tried
to take his own life by cutting his throat
He succeeded only so far as to place
himself in critical condition, and but
for the closest attention of doctors the
murderer would have died He is now
reported as recovering, and AS being
placed under arrest. The query is,
where is the sense in trying to save a
mans life, (Which plainly is not worth
saving) for the purpose ofmaking q sue
cessful arrest, and then running up u
large bill of expense upon the county in
trying him for murders Mineral Point

In the bright lexicon of banks every
word is fail. George Krouskop. a
banker, of Richland Center, voluntarily
closed his bank last Monday and made
an assignment to VIM. krouskop for the
benefit of his creditors. The liabilities
are about $4,000, and the assets $780,
600. The cause of the failure is attrib-
uted to too large investments in real es-
tate and loans on real estate mortgages,
upon which he could not Immediately
realize. All depositors will ultimately
be paid in full. Mr.. Krouskop has been
considered one of the wealthiest men in
the county. His bank was rated A /.
The failure will not effect other business
houses. Mr.. Krouskop was state sena-
tor in 1870, 1871, 1874 and 1875. -

About ten o'clock Tuesday evening
our citizens were surprised by hearing
the ringing of the court house bell. An
investigation showed a large fire in the
vicinity of the depot, and, notwith-
standing the severe storm large crowd,
Immediately hurried in that direction.
Upon getting near enough it was seen
that the hotel building Of William Toye
just south of the depot, was in flames
and so far gone that its destruction was
certain. The hook and ladder COM
pany made a gallant effort to reach the
building in time to do some good, but
the mud was so deep that they were OBJ
lieed to leave the truck in the hollow
near the opera house. Luckily the wind
was from the north, else the lumber
yards and the railroad buildings also
would have been destroyed. But little
was saved from the burning building,
so that Mr.. Toye's loss viii be quite
heavy, probably about $1,000, The in
surance, in Robbins & Thomas agency
was: on building, $1,000; on furniture,
etc, 3d. 900. Would it be out of place
to again counsel the purchase of fire.
