SWANSON'S GRIM VIGIL.
The Oconto Murderer Watched the
Flames Consuming His
Victims Body.

Oconto, Wis, Nov. 2S.-[SpeciaL /
Since the conviction of Albert Swanson
for the murder of John Lesheck last April
It has been ascertained that Swanson
related the story of the crime to his wife,
in which he admitted his guilt and told
how he accomplished the deed.
According to the story he struck him
three times over the head with an ak
and his death came quickly. He then
carried him TO the hollow stump out In
the field and threw him in head foremost,
built fire over him and went back TO
the house, where he slept soundly until
IL O'Clock. midnight, when he arose and
went again to the field and renewed the
fire. When Mrs. Swanson asked her
husband how he could have committed
such terrible act he replied that ''it
was as easy as telling an OK"
While the sheriff was en- route with his
prisoner for the penitentiary the latter
asked him if he thought his impriSoR-
ment would exceed ten years time. and
when the sheriff informed him that he
would be liberated as soon as LeSheck
should turn uD safe and sound he be-
came livid with sudden fear, but when
he entered his prison cell he wore a
smile and seemed as gay as though he
were entering a ballroom.

HUNG IN HIS CELL.
Racine Man, Awaiting Trial for a
Murderous Assault, Com
mitS Suicide.

Racine, Wis, Nov. 27.-[special;]-
The local Jail was the scene of another
hanging this morning. George Ritter.
who was awaiting trial on a charge OF
assault with intent to kill his wife on
August 13 last, hung himself some time
during the night. The body was found
in the cell this morning at Z o'clock.
Ritter had secured the bed sheet and
made a rope out of it. He then placed
one end over the top of the bars IN the
cell and fastened the other end around
his neck. This was done while standing
on the edge of the seat in the cell. From
this he jumped to the floor and allowed
himself to strangle to death.
Last Saturday afternoon he was talk
ing with some companions in the jail
and told them that he would never spend
the rest of his days in prison, and stat
ed that he intended to kill himself. No
one gave the matter a second thought,
as they supposed he was making bluff.
Ritter was q trunk maker by trade
and was of a very jealous disposition:
He had an argument with his wife and
she left him to live with a lady friend
while she could secure 4 divorce. Ritter
went into her room and attacked her
with knife, cutting her in terrible
manner. She was taken to the hospital
in an almost dying condition, where
after weeks of careful nursing she re-
covered.
The deceased was 26 years of age and
was born and reared in Milwaukee.
In the circuit court this morning the
case of E. G. Durant, charged with en-
bezzelment, went over to the next term
of court.
Henry Rosenberg, charged with a
criminal offense, was sentenced this
morning to one year in state prison.
The case of the state against Huessing,
accused of assault with intent to kill,
was changed to simple assault and be
was fined $50.
The annual convention of the South
eastern Wisconsin union, Christian En-
deavor, was held here this morning.
There were twenty-five delegates present.

LONG LIMBS; LONG LIFE.
The Taller Man, the Longer He'll Live,
IF He Takes Care of Himself.

It has been found that the more height
q man has, the longer he is likely to live,
provided he takes care of himself. In
vestigation by statistician of mortuary
records has resulted in this knowledge.
This same inquiry disclosed the fact that
women are more likely to live to be 80
years of age than men, but that after
that age is reached the man is likely to
live longer than the woman. The num-
Der of marriages in civilized countries
where records are kept, shows the proper
ton to be seventy-fve weddings to every
1000 inba bitants
Persons who are born in the spring are
generally of much more robust consti-
tuition than those who come into the
world at other times in the year. Births
and deaths are much more frequent by
night than by day. The number of men
throughout the civilized world who are
capable of bearings arms, according to
the physical rules fixed by the different
governments for their soldiers, is one
fourth of the total population.-New

MET AT A CROSSING.
Two Freight Engines Wrecked Near
Fond Gu Lac-Fireman anG En-
gineer Badly Hurt.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Nov. 2S.-[Spe-
:iaI. IA collision between engine No. 40
IF the North Western and engine NO.
81 of the st. Paul road at the cross
ng three miles south of the city at 5:5o
s'clock last evening resulted in the seri-
BUS injury of Engineer Frank Wheeler
Ind Fireman Charles Kramer of the
Northwestern and a delay OF tratlc
over the lines until 5 o'clock this morn
ing
A special passenger coach bearing DR..
Bishop to the scene left here at $50
o'clock, and the injured men were re-
moved to this city. Wheeler had one
Of his legs badly injured and is con-
stantly complaining OF pains in his head.
The fireman was badly burned by escap-
ing steam.
Engineer J. McManus and Fireman
James Hughes, both of Milwaukee, were
in charge of the ST. Paul engine which
was pulling a heavy freight train. MIR.
tied ''off brakes" after his stop at the
crossing and was starting forward when
he saw the headlight of an engine COM
ing north cycr +Lo N~~tl- w Stern.
Thinking it was a freight and would
make its accustomed stop before reaching
the crossing, [ continued on he said.
s'When about 100 feet from the crossing
4 saw II was an engine anu ludt IL Hdtt
failed to stop and was coming on at a
terrific rate of speed. Reversing the
lever, [ used all my efforts to stop the
engine. but it was impossible and we
came together right on the crossing, my
engine striking the North Western en-
CINE somewhere near the steam chest.
The latter engine was thrown down an
embankment and completely demolished,
Fireman Kramer jumped from the en-
CINE, but Mr.. Wheeler went down the
embankment with his engine AID had
one of his legs pinned under part OF
the wreck"
The escape of Engineer McAIanus and
Fireman James Hughes from injuries is
miraculous, considering the manner III
which the cab was torn from their en-
CINE when the collision occurred. Nc
Manus says it was hard for him to real
ixe that he was still alive after he had
extracted himself from the wreck.
1t is reported that Mr.. Kramer stated
that they thought the track was clear,
and it being late they wished TO get
back. This was their principal reason
for coming at the high rate of speed
they are said to have been going at. II
the St. Paul train had been five seconds
later the speedy flyer would have passed
sn perfect safety. Conductor Charles
Brown of the ST Paul freight refused to
say anything regarding the collision.
Wrecking crews from Oshkosh and
Milwaukee worked all night clearing the
wreck.
Anthony Servatius died at his home
1875 Doty street. at 1920 o'clock yes
terday. Mr.. Servatius had been 9
resident Of this city for forty eight years
Some years ago he was alderman from
the Fourth ward. and for two terms he
was president of the council. He is
survived by six children, as follows
Celia, Leo, Helen, Johanna. Antoinette
and Amelia. The funeral will be held al
