POOR CROPS THE CAUSE.
A Wisconsin Farmer Murders His
Wife and Three Young Children.

A Wisconsin Farmer Murders His
Wife and Three Young Children.
AMIGO, Wis, Aug William
Nonemacher, farmer living nine
miles southeast of Amigo, murdered
his wife and their three children and
then made an unsuccessful attempt to
take his own life. At the inquest None
macher made a full confession. He
said that crops were poor and he was
afraid of starving. His wife's parents
were in Quebec, where they had come
all the way from Germany and wanted
money, and he had none to send. After
the family was aleep he went out and
got an axe and returned to do the deed.
He said he killed his wife first by three
swinging blows on the left temple. He
then went into the next room and
killed Joseph, 6 years, and Willie, A
years old. He struck both boys on the
head twice. Returning to the room
where his wife laid he picked up his l.
year-old baby, held her in one arm and
struck her on the top of the head. He
then went to the barn, climbed on the
roof and jumped 20 feet to the floor of
the pigsty, sustaining injuries to the
spine and paralyzing his lower extrem-
tiles.

FIRED THE STRIP.
The Cherokee Country Now a Vast
Sea of Flames.

The Cherokee Country Now a Vast
Sea of Flames.
CHICAGO, Aug. IA special to The
Tribune from Hennessey, o. T., says:
The United States cavalry is reported
to have fired the Cherokee strip and it
is now vast confagration destined to
create great loss. The burning prairies
make a thrilling scene. Cattlemen
started their cattle on dead run, caus-
ing the earth to fairly tremble as they
flew before the rapidly approaching
flames. Wagons with horses on the
gallop, and men with pale faces
watched the impending danger as it
neared them. Jack rabbits in great
numbers, prairie dogs by the score,
made haste, driven by instinct, to find
place of safety. This will be a blow
to the boomers who have intended to
take claims in the strip, as it will de-
stroy the last vestige of fodder for
their animals. While the flames were
at their height another demon of de-
struction, the cyclone, came sweeping
down from the northwest, carrying the
fire and spreading it for miles around.

cision on the Geary act in the case of

was valid and ordered the Chinaman
deported. He denied a stay of execu-
tion asked by the defense.

Union LAnlber Showers Make a Sue
cessfai Attempt TO Drive on Non.
Union a:en-Several Injured With
CIubs-The Ringleaders Arrested.
ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. IA crisis
was reached in the lumber showers
strike during the morning. The strik-
ers openly defed the officers of the city
and county. closing with them in a
hand to hand battle, in which blood
was >keG freely. The Shores Lumber
company sent word to Mayor OKeefe
that it would commence loading its
boats with non-union laborers, and
asked for police protection. The mayor
sent Chief of Police Schwarz and some
officers to the docks, where they were
joined by Sheriff O'Brien and deputies.
They took stand on the tramway of
the dock. Work had hardly commenced
on the dock when a
Great Mob of Strikers
swarmed down over the dock and
tramway. The foremost of them were
forcib!y handcuffed by the officers and
others were arrested who were after
wards rescued from the police by their
fellows. A desperate hand to hand
contest followed, in which revolvers
rere fourished and several shots fired.
The officers were nearly lal bruised
with clubs and stones. The advance on
the tramway was finally checked, but
the strikers then swung down under
meath the tramway and made for the
boats, reaching them ahead of the Off
GERS. Thee an awful scene of brutal
ity was enacted by the violent mob.
Non-nnion men who where loading the
boats were
Struck Down With Clubs
and terribly beaten as they fled panic
followed by the strikers. |
They were met by the officers, who pro-
tected them from further violence. |
Forty of the ringleaders among the |
strikers have been arrested.
Mayor OKeefe says the president of
the Lumber Showers union had assured |
him that no violence would be commit
ted. He now sWears that the city will |
protect the non-union labor at any cost.
The mob was composed not only of
lumber showers, but of coal beavers, ore
punchers and all that class of dock la
borers. The men have become so in
timidated that it is hardly possible to
get them started at work again. Mayor
O'Keefe is now doing his best to get
them to return to work, where, he says,
they will be protectected if he has to
raise an army to DO it.
