Herman Reinhold, who was employed
in the Post Office in this city for con-
siderable length Of time, and who went
to Dakota q year ago last spring, died at
the residence of Capt. Frantz, in this
city, on Wednesday morning. Wilhelm
! Dakota he was attacked with a disease
of the ear, and returned to Kenosha
few months ago. He went to Chicago
and had an operation performed on it.
Since the operation he has suffered
greatly, being delirious at times from
the intense pain. He was an estimable
| young man, and will be missed by his
many friends. The funeral services win
take place this Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the German Lutheran church,
North ward.
No little interest was manifest through
out the city on Tuesday night as the
citizens were waiting at the different
places where information in regard to
the result in Ohio could be had. Mr.
c. S. Harris had telephone comlnunica-
ton with the headquarters at Chicago,
and the same arrangement was made by
Mr.. Willmes at Park City Hall. Att
either place there was q crowd of in
terested men. The returns came in
shortly, and not until late hour did the
crowd begin to dispense, some of course
satisfied and others quite the reverse.
Those men whose enthusiasm led them
to bet on the result were as matter of
course either elated or depressed accord
ing as the returns showed encourage
ment or discouragement in either direc-
ton.
Mr.. Thomas Sullivan, who works at
Bain's, and who had been in the habit of
leaving his surplus earnings with his
employers until such time as he might
require the use thereof, had succeeded
in saving sum of one thousand dollars.
On Wednesday night of this week he
drew the amount to use in his business
purposes, and left the Office with his
money. Heproceeded to the Post Office,
as was his usual custom, and while there
accidently dropped his money, fact
which he did not discover until he reach
ed home. Search was made during the |
evening by him and his weeping wife,
but of no avail. But later gentleman
who had found the lost treasure quietly |
returned it to its owner, and refuses to |
have his name disclosed. Mr.. Sullivan,
however, is none the less grateful, and
in terms which cannot be mistaken ex-
presses his determination to reward the
finder of his hard-earned money some
where and some time in the course of
his existence.
Shortly before eleven o'clock on
Thursday night of last week fire was
discovered in the rear end of the 10th |
rop building on Main street, occupied
by Gustave Leonhart as bakery. The
fire started about three feet west of the
oven and foot and half from the
floor. AS there was no fire in the oven
for about eight hours previous, and as
it was directly under window, it is sup
posed lighted torch was thrust through
the window and applied to the pine wall.
When first discovered the window sssh
was on fire and the glass all broken.
That it was of incendiary origin there is
but little doubt. Mr.. Leonhart had no
insurance. AS the fire was soon dis
covered and quickly extinguished, he
sustained but little damage. About an
hour after the breaking out of the first
fire flames were discovered issuing from
the roof of the barn belonging to the
City Hotel. The barn was full of hay
and the fire spread rapidly, and in a few
minutes it was all in blaze, and was
entirely consumed. Through the ex-
ertions of the fremen the dwelling house
of Mr.. Coon and other adjoining prop
erty was saved. This fire is also sup
posed to have been the work of an in
cendiary, as the proprietor of the City
Hotel says there was no one in the loft
with a light that evening There was
an insurance of 500 on the building
loss about 1850. Ed. White was arrest
ed on suspicion of being the incendiary,
as it was claimed he was one of the first
to assist Mr.. Coon in getting his house
hold effects out, and it is said there was
hayseed on his coat and cobwebs on his
hat when arrested. AS there was no
proof against him he was allowed to
plead gully to charge of intoxication
and fined. The officers are doing their
utmost to capture the fire bug.
