The blockade of theroads by the re

ming regularly.
The Board of Health of this town
has issued a circular requiring all
school children to be vaccinated by
the Goth of February. Thus far there
has been ready compliance with the
requirement on the part of parents.
The Dramatic Club is distributing
posters announcing a public enter
tainment to be held Mar 3, '94. Two
plays will be given. A drama entitled
Under the Laurels," and a comedy
entitled "Ole Oleson." Both are star
plays and the best talent in the vicin
lty has been drawn upon to insure
their successful production. The
Dramatic Club latel y perfected its or
ganization and it is expected that it
will become a permanent institution
in this village.
New abutments are being placed
under the bridge crossing the river on
Rockway Str. This bridge is private
property being owned by the Scheuer
Brewing Co. 1t is matter Of real
regret that the road which at one time
crossed over from the site of the brew
cry to the Manitowoc road cannot be
restored, and cut through so as to
strike the Neshoto road in the vicinity
of BREEDERS farm. Such a road would
lessen the distance from this village
to ManitowOc by not less than three
miles. 1t is surprising that the PEG
pie OF Mishicott and vicinity have so
long permitted themselves to appear
satisfied to make the prepostrous cir
cult around Nerner's when going to
| ManltOwOc. 1t seems to us that
remedy, if sought, could certainly be
| found
Our nimrods are irrepressible. They
will shoulder their guns and scour the
woods in this vicinity on any or all
pretexts. But when people from the
| city come up 20 join them in the hunt
| they get fairly wild with enthusiasm.
In such cases however they do not
cOntine themselves to the very ordi-
nary hunting grounds of this vicinity.
SO when that veteran (?) hunter John
Staudt of Manitowoc made his ap-
pearance in this vicinity with all the
arms and accoutrements of veritable
man Of the woods, the many sports
men of Mishicott joined him, and pre-
pared for real hunt. They made
their way to the Swamp City" and
here received reinforcements and
''provisions," these latter, however,
consisting merely of a keg of beer and
few gallons Of whiskey, for Of course
like true hunters. they could not bur
den themselves with unnecessary ar
ticles, expecting naturally enough, to
supply themselves from the products
OF the hunt. Game seemed to be
scarce and having made some inroads
on their stock of "provisions," their
lmaglnatlOns grew as vivid as their
desire to Kill became uncomfortable,
and SO when they saw two ferocious
looking beasts apparently following
them with the persistency Of hungry
wolves, they came to the very natural
conclusion that they were gray wolves.
Their danger seemed to be imminent
and John Staudt having INDUCED in
some harmless braggadocio on the
way. he was of course looked upon as
the hero Of the hour, and the one to
save the party from destruction. the
more so as he had, pursuant to instruc-
tons. put charge enough into his gun
to Kill an elephant. He fired and
killed both the creatures at a single |
shot. Staudt of course was Overioyed |
at his good fortune and proceeded to
cut off the-ears and tails of his game |
But when farmer, attracted by the |
shots came and threatened the hun
tiers with prosecution for the murder
of his hounds, Staudt was thoroughly |
surprised, Inundated and paid his |
fine after exacting a solemn promise |
from all present to keep eternal 81
lence on the subject. But murder
will out" and we heartily sympathize
with him in his disappointment which
must indeed have been deep-in his
pockets. The Mishicott sports weren't
IN it bit. Staudt left everybody in
this vicinity in the dark as to when be
will repeat his visit,
