John Domeau, the man who criminally
assaulted two little girls and 6 years of
age on Thursday last, was captured near
Duluth seven miles from the scene of the
offense. He was brought 70 the town
and Unidentified by the little girls. There

conviction for crime In that region is we'll
nigh impossible.

opposed to the projection of Prussian
ideas into the domain of imperial matters.
Bitson the Rock County man who MUIR
| dered his wife and another woman re-
| Gently and then set fire to the house SO
that the bodies might be burned and bis
crime escape detection, is declared to be
