Struck Down With a Hoe.

STEVENS POINT, Wis, May 15.-At 5
ers, Frank Firlkus and Frank Korbal
quarreled over line fence, Korbal
was struck on the head with hoe and
killed. Firkus was arrested. Korbel
formerly resided in Berlin.
The corners inquest is being held to-
day. The testimony thus far would
show that the deed was done in self
defense, or rather that the victim was
the aggressor, he striking Firkus first
upon the head with long stick; that
the latter then struck back with his hoe
and the battle waged warm for several
minutes, Korbal in the meantime re-
ceiving his death blow
Firzus was seen by a Wisconsin re-
porter to-day and if he regretted the
deed he did not show it in his express
sion or talk He is rather an ignorant
man and has lived in this city for the
past twenty years. He says the
strip of ground over which he and
korbal quarreled was one foot wide,
running back through their lots. They
had it surveyed several times, the
survey always resulting the same, but
Korbal insisted that Firkus encroached
upon his property. He says he did not
mean to kill the man, does not know
how many times he struck. Both are
married and Korbal has seven children.

the only way to make the toll ferry
