TRAGEDY NEAR BERLIN.
Ardlo Mott is Dead, but COroner'S
Jury Does Not Find His
Shaver

Berlin, Wis, July 29.-[Special.] THE
home of David Halford, near the Marion
cheese factory in the town of Marion,
Waushara county, was the scene OF
tragedy Saturday night at about IL
O clock. The victim was Albro Mott, an
unmarried man about 80 years Of age.
1t is claimed that Mr. Halford had been
jealous of Mott on account of his at
tentlons toward Mrs. HalfOrd for more
than year and he warned Mott to de-
sist. Saturday night Mott was near the
Halford house when someone called out
to him to halt. Mott, however, started
to walk away, Whereupon somebody dis
charged a rifle the bullet taking effect
IN Motifs leg near the knee. 1t shattered
the bone and severed an artery. DR.. Il.
4. Dodson was summoned from Berlin
and reached the scene of the tragedy at
2 p. N. The wounded man was rapidly
weakening from loss of blood and despite
every effort of the physician his life blood
gradually ebbed away and he expired at
{ o'clock Sunday morning. He lay on
the ground until the physician arrived
and every resource known to medical
skill was applied, bait all efforts were
futile. Mott was an old resident of the
county and of late was employed as
cheesemakcr

night and thought it was Il party return
ing from a summer resort at Silver lake;
he went over TO the Halford house and
found Moot, the murdered man, lying on
the ground. He asked him what was the
matter. Moot answered that his leg was
hurt, and would give no further informa-
ton. His leg was bound up and physi-
clan was summoned. At the inquest Dr.
B. f. Dodson testified that the wound
looked like a gunshot wound, and it now
looks as though the case would be one
which will compel the state to prove ev-
erything. No arrests were made up to l
o'clock, but the sheriff and district-attor-
ney have gone to the scene.
