Hung In tho CHURCH stespIe.

MIIwAMKEE, Wis, November For
the first tine in the history Of Trinity
Catholic Church there was no second
service yesterday. The break was
caused by the discovery of the body OF
Geo. Janke, the sacristan, hanging
high up In the church Spire after the
congregation had filed the church.
The grearest excitement prevailed for
a time after Father Conrad dismissed
the congregation with the explanation
that something terrible had happened.
Janke had been sacristan of the church
for I've years. he rang the bell for
service Saturday night at vespers and
that was the last seen Of him. When
Father Conrad found that his robes had
not been laid out for service as usuai,
this morning he inquired for Janke
and not finding him a search was imme-
dlately inaugurated. Toe searchers
finally climbed 10 the belfry where they
found Janke's body hanging on the
highest beam. Father Conrad was no.
titled and he Immediately dismissed the
congregation.
