ON HIS TRAIL.
A German Villain Pursued by Armed
Men for Numbering His Wife.


ASHLAND, Wis. July 22.
Several posses of men, composed of set
tiers living around Bad River, are in active
pursuit of Joseph Feuchs, who murdered his
wife a few weeks ago When Deputy Sheriff
Csnovsn heard of the murder, not half an
hour after it was committed he followed the
trail into toggy marsh, on each side of the
Wisconsin central track. but without finding
the murderer.
The chase has been taken up, and every
road and path leading into the forest from
the track is being watched night and day by
pursuers. a I'd if Feuchs attempts to fee GER
tain death in the swamp, he must run the
gauntlet Of dozen men with rifles.
Feuchs and his bride arrived from Ger
many but few weeks ago, and remark
dropped by the woman led to much gossip
among the villagers 1t finally came out
that Feuchs is santed in Germany for a
heavy robbery from the government, corn
mitted while employed AS a mail carrier, and
a big reward is offered for his capture. Ac-
cording to a German paper here Feuchs be-
came enraged at his wife because of her
knowledge of his crime, and in fit of pas
sion killed her with a dull edged jack knife.
She was found with seven stabs in her neck.
