WOUND PROVED FATAL.
JOseh Strong, Who was Shot Near
Appleton for Zuelke, is
Dead,

Appleton, Wis, June 6.-[Special. ]-Jo-
seph Strong, who was shot here April
16 by Officer Garvey while resisting ar
rest, on suspicion of being Julius Zuelke,
the Markesan murderer, died this morn
ing at the hospital He was shot in the
shoulder and lungs and the latter wound
caused his death. For time after the
removal of the ball Strong improved,
but later began gradually to fall an abb
Scess forming and necessitating an opera
ton for empyema some time ago.
Strong proved to be a morose fellow,
slightly deranged and possessed of a de-
fusion that he was being pursued by enc
mics who sought his life At the time
and upon being accosted by the officer on
the railway track, just outside of town,
he attempted to shoot the officer. but the
latter proved too quick for him. During
all his stay at the hospital Strong main
tanned that he did not care to live, his
invaria bic reply being: whats the
use, this is the easiest way out of it"
He never seemed to realize the real Situa-
ton and took his shooting as Il matter of
course under the influence of the delu-
SIGN that his life was being sought by
enemies.
To all inquiries he. admitted that he
would have shot the officer had the latter
not been too quick for him, his favoritc
remark being: eff | could have used
my big gun his little gun would have
stood no show"
Officer Garvey is very much AFFECTED by
the fatal result of his shots, but public
sentiment upholds him in fearlessly dis
charging his duty in the face of grave
danger. 1t was a case of life or death
with life for the quickest shooter After
being shot Strong ran nearly mile and
then resisted desperately when over
taken.
Strong was born and raised at Apple
Greek, near this city, and had always
been considered queer if not demented
lie left this region several years ago
and had not been back until the time of
