Death of Mrs, Mark Lowell.

Mrs. Mark Lowell, for many years a
year past residing at Waupun, died at
her home there Saturday night, of can
Ger of the breast. During the last few
days her sufferings we've intense. She
was woman of noble heart and mind
and leaves many warm friends to
mourn her death. The funeral took
place at Waupun yesterday afternoon
at l o'clock.
Mrs. George Lowell was born in
Canada, about ffty-four years ago, the
daughter of DR.. Barber, and removed
at an early age with her parents to Wis
consin, where they resided few years
at Oshkosh and later at Juneau On
October s, 1864, she was married to
Mark Lowell, of Hustisford, and resid-
ed in chat town until about year ago,
when their two sons went into the
hardware business at Waupun, and
the family removed to that place. A
few years ago she was attacked with a
disease, at first thought to be of little
consequence, but gradually developing
into cancer, and for more than d year
past she has been a constant sufferer.
Her love and care for her family and
her kindness to her many friends were
her chief characteristics, while her
self-sacrifiCe and readiness in al minis
tering to the needs of others were also
prominent traits of her character. She
was a devout and faithful member of
the Protestant Episcopal church. Two
daughters have preceded her to the
heavenly home, and a husband and
two sons will ever hold in dear remem-
brance a devoted wife and loving
mother.

A ROMANCE TOLD IN COURT.
Two Men Claim One Wife, and Queer
Story Revealed,

Two Men Claim One Wife, and Queer
Story Revealed,
Justice of the Peace William r. Hall,
other day to act the part Of a Solomon
in an affair which called for all of his
judicial ability. Two men claimed the
woman for wife. The telling of the
story of the case unfolded romance.
francesca Rizzo and Jose ScopOli lived
in Italy ten years ago, and both loved
Rosie Rizarro. RizzO won her and mar
ried her, and then started for America TO
seek his fortune, promising to send for
his wife. She heard nothing from him
for months, and when Scopoli renewed
his suiG she married him. They lived
together nine years, during which time
they had eight children.
About year ago Rizzo wrote to Rosie,
telling her he had made his fortune, ana
bidding her to come at once to Bloorh-
field. AS a:guarantee of good faith he
sent her passage money. She at once
accepted the invitation and rejoined her
first husband. The father of her eight
children, in due time, followed her to
Bloomfield, where he tried to induce her
to return with him to Italy, and on her
refusal to do so he appealed to Justice
Hail. Both claimants and the woman
appeared before the justice.
After hearing the story of each, he de.
cided that, in the eyes of the law, Rizzo
was the woman's legal husband. The
crowd of Italians who Were present SYM
pathized with Scopoli, and took hi
away with them. Rizzo, who keeps d
fruit stand, is we'll to do.
