j A man, who gave his name as Otto
Wittlen, and said he was from Milwau-
kee, was taken to jail last Thursday
During the evening he cut both Of bis
wrists with an old knife that he managed
to secure, in order, he said, that he
would die easy. He was discovered in
time to prevent bleeding to death. All
day Friday he kept telling those who
were watching him thai he must die
that night. He was evidently suffering
| from delirium tremens. He has since
recovered and has been at work.

Some time between Monday and Fri
day mornings of last week thieves enter
ed the granary of John Reiter, in the
town of Somers, and stole $40 in cash,
a note for 81 800, and mortgages amount

for 5000, one for $500, one for $500, and
one for $3.50. The money, note and

with the premises is the thief. Entrance
was gained through window.

Mr.. J. Fl. KimbalPs yacht Mamie was
stolen from her moorings in the harbor
on Tuesday night. Three or four young
men who disappeared from town Tues
day night are supposed to have taken
her to Michigan. The Mamie was sight
ed off the fishing grounds about 81
o'clock Wednesday morning by the fish
ing tug. The name had been obliter-
ated. When the tug whistled those on
deck ran into the cabin. The revenue
cutter went in pursuit of the pirates on
Wednesday. Up to the hour Of going to
press Is P. M. Thursday they had not
been captured.
This has a flavor of patent right
swindle. On May 24th some parties,
strangers in the town of Newport, were
selling an attachment to clothes wiring
er. They struck farmer and finally
sold him territory for good horse. The
next day they sold more territory to |
him for another horse worth $3.50. |
They had during their trades secured
the interest Of an old gentleman, rela-
tive of the man to whom they sold, but |
they could not make trade with him. |
They sold the two horses they had re-
ceived for the territory to neighbor for |
$3.50, though they were worth $3.50, and |
left for other customers. The nextaday
a party claiming to have come from |
came in search of the pur-
chasers and offered $500 cash for the
rights he mad bought, but the offer was
declined. This gave the old gentleman
confidence in the stuff. The day follow-
ing the clothes wringer men happened
along "by chance the usual way" and
tackled the old gentleman and sold |
him 5000 worth of territory for the
wringer, and took mortgage on some |
land in an adjoining state as payment. |
The thing looks to us like well planned |
The rule is that in 999 1899 out |
of every 100000 cases, the party who
invests in patent rights from travelling |
vendors gets badly left. These vendors
are equal to lightning-rod men, aat-
