Milwaukee dispatch: George Ell

hind the throne in the Wisconsin Metho-
dist Conference, returned from the East
the other day, and was promptly inter-
viewed on the Summerfeld imbroglio. He
said there was nothing for Summerield

at Watertown, subsequently killed him

The notorious Cotton Farm" one
mile west of Wausau has been destroyed
by fire. The den was closed last spring
and since has not been opened.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
wreck freight train near Wausau, a few
nights since. Timbers were laid across
the tracks of the Lake Shore Road where
it enters the city limits. The "cow-
catcher" removed the distractions and
very little damage was done. Several
tramps were put off train the morning
previous, and it is thought to have been
their work.
The committee appointed at the re-
cent session in Milwaukee of the Grand
Lodge, I. O. o. F., to receive propositions
for the location of the proposed Odd
Fellows Home, will send out circular
at an early day which will explain the
needs of the organization in such home
and solicit bids for location. Among the
places already to the front with offers
are Eau Claire, Green Bay, Brodhead,
and Doty Island. Green Bay offers nine
acres of desirable ground and q good
building which cost $4,000, all for
$4,000, the town paying the difference
above Sc, 900.
= La Crosse is boiling over with wrath
and excitement over an attempt of Don
G.. Cameron, well-known citizen, to cap
ture piece of ground known for thirty
five years as Fourth Street Park, and of
which the Camerons were the original
owners. He had put eight men at work
setting posts and stringing pickets and
wire for fence, and in half an hour
more would have inclosed the entire plat.
The mayor, several policemen, and half
dozen aldermen hustled around and put
the party under arrest. Cameron has en-
gagged Col. William F. Villas to prosecute
his claim, which seems to be based on an
error in the recording of the plat. The
land is worth at least $50, 200, being To-
Gated in the heart of the city on princi-
pal street.
AT Watertown, few days ago, Louis
Kellerman fatally shot his wife and es-

he climbed through cellar window and
went to Mrs. Kellerman's bedroom on the
upper floor, where she was sleeping. With
out losing any time the husband drew
revolver and fired. The ball entered the
woman's right temple ana 10 lged at the
base of the brain, inficting a fatal wound.
The crime was not known until several
hours after it had been committed.

I'll kill YOU" Defoy struck again and
