came to his death Saturday afternoon,
October 4, from the effects of a bullet
discharged from a revolver in the hands
of Mrs. Kate McDougal." The entire
city agrees with this verdict and hardly
a person doubts that the young wife
killed her husband deliberately and with
homcidal intent.
Charles Reifslager was the only wit
ness of the crime He testified to the
COroner's jury that he had been at the
McDougal home most of Saturday after
noon; that Mrs. McDougal went down
town about 2 o'clock and came back at
3, and after changing her dress began
to peel potatoes Her husband was home
during the afternoon and the two fell to
quarreling when the wife slammed a
door unnecessarily hard. Archie seized
her by the arms and said: Look here,
| don't want you to slam doors that
way. | want you to pack up and get
out, and if you don't | will" He then
sat down on sofa and began to clean
out his pipe with a knife, the tobacco
pouch lying in his lap. Mrs. McDougal
went into the bedroom, the entrance to
which is curtained and is directly oppo-
site to the place where the lounge rests
AS she threw aside this curtain McDou-
gal looked up and saw a revolver leveled
at his head. He started to rise when
the shot rang out and a bullet crashed
into his brain. He fell forward on his
hands and knees, dying at once.
Reifslager sat III a chair almost be-
tween the two and felt the ball whiz by
him and the powder sting his face slight
ly. After the shot Mrs. McDougal
cried out: "What have l done?" and
dropped the revolver in front of Refs
lager. The latter jumped up and ran
to Archie and saw blood oozing from the
bullet wound III the head. He then ran
for DR.. Addison, several blocks away.
A little girl named Minnie Stutz also
testified before the coroner's jury. She
often helped the young wife about the
house and was in the kitchen when the
quarreling was gong on in the sitting
room. After the shot was fired she ran
in and saw McDougal on the floor in
heap and a revolver not far from him.
Mrs. MeDougal said: Look what
Archie has done. He's committed sui
eide"
This covers the entire testimony in the
case. Motive for TIE murder appears
in the strained relations existing be-
tween the pair. The wife is only %
years old and not many years ago was
called Kittie Meyer, being the adopted
daughter of a well-to-do German. She
was educated in the parochial schools
and was a pretty, vivacious and attrac-
tive girl. She married McDougal two
years ago and since then her career has
been checkered. She was in Jail last
winter on a serious charge. Saturday
noon McDougal came home and found a
young man named Kensler with his wife.
McDougal gave this man good lick
ing" as he expressed it to Reifslager in
the afternoon. This is said not to have
been the first occurrence of the kind.
The body of the murdered man is at
Wittig's undertaking rooms and crowds
have viewed it. McDougal was a hand
some young fellow of good disposition
and quite popular. The funeral will
take place this afternoon and will be
largely attended.

sat quietly chatting with her lawyer re-
gardiHg the various phases of the pro-
cGedings She wore a blue macintosh
and navy blue sailor hat iauntily
tipped toward one ear. The proceedings
were very brief, the object merely being
to bring the accused formally before the
court. The preliminary examination was
adjourned until a. N. on November 9.
Mrs. McDougal has made no confess
sion, and, under advice Of her lawyer,
declines to make any statement beyond
the two contradictory ones which she
made on the day of the shooting-one
to the effect that she didn't remember
anything about the occurrence and the
other that her husband committed sui
eide.
The funeral Of the victim, Archie
Dougal, was held this noon from w.
tig Sc brakes undertaking rooms. -Four
brothers, a sister and several friends
were present. Rev. ]. e. Farmer, a
Methodist minister conducted brief serv.
ices. The interment was at Forest

A ROMANCE OF CRIME.
After Lapse of Quarter of Gen.
fury a Portage Crime is
to be Avenged.

Portage, Wis. Oct. 30.-It is under
stood that Perry Richardson, the man
who was arrested at Elroy on a charge
of having committed a murder at this
place half century ago, is to be brought
here for examination as soon as the legal
formalities can be attended to. News of
Richardson's arrest, based as it is said
TO have been on the alleged murderer S
having given his right name latter hav-
ing lived twenty-five years or more UNI
der an assumed oDe) in order to get a
pension, was a surprise to the people OF
this city, for the crime had almost passed
out of the recollection of the oldest in
habitant
In the absence of legal documents it is
impossible to say with certainty which
of a couple of crimes Richardson stands
accused. the prisoner still being detained
at Mansion, but there is no doubt in the
minds of the authorities here that the
Gates murder is the basis for the arrest.
story of the Crime.
On September Is, 1869, Schuyler S.
Gates, an old man who had resided near
Kilbourn, was murdered, supposedly by
two men, Hugh Smith and Perry Rich
ards. Both men fed and were never ap-
pretended. Gates had been robbed a
short time before by the notorious Pat
Wildrick gang of about $4,000 after hav-
ing been hrutally beaten and left for
dead.
Gates and his wife were moving to
MuscOda, and as it was a down-river
trip they had their household effects on
two boats, which were dashed together.
Wildrick and his accomplices followed
the boats down the river to the place OF
their first nights tie-up, where they
robbed Gates and outraged his wife.
Wildrick was arrested and held IN $4,000
bail by Judge Stewart A change of
venue was afterward taken and the de
PENDANT was released on $4,000 bond.
After his release Wildrick came to
Portage, where he was detected in the
act of committing highway robbery.
He was arrested and sent to Jail. Dur
ing Wildrick's preliminary trial for this
offense Gates, his former victim, was
murdered at Kilbourn. He was an i'm
portant witness against Wildrick at his
coming trial in the circuit court and it
was believed he was murdered by Wild
rick's gang. Smith and Richardson left
the country.
came to Portage and oyerpowered Sher-
if SorrensOn and Deputy Sheriff koer-
ner, took Wildrick from the Jail and
hanged him to a tree near by. So quiet
" was the deed performed that those
residing in the neighborhood were not
aware of the action of the mob until
notified by the sheriff after it was all
over. No arrests were made for the
iynching, as none of the mob were known
so the officers.

NEGLIGENT WARDENS.
A Consignment of One Hundred
Wisconsin Deer Shipped to
the East.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 3O.-John T.
Whelan, an old Wisconsin deer hunter,
who is reputed to have killed game in
the woods of that state with every sort
of weapon, from a bow and arrow to a
repeating rifle, and can scarcely be less
than SO years old, was in Minneapolis
yesterday on his way to Chicago. He
has just got through with the deer sea-
son in company with three or four other
crack shots, and it seems that the COM
bined skill was something unprecedent-
ed. Just what part of the state Whelan
and his men have been shooting in he did
not say, but it came out in Il rather
roundabout way that the gang hung up
close On 100 deer. How they did this
seems to be a matter for the game war
dens of Wisconsin to look into, because
nobody believes deer are so thick either
in the standing timber or SlaShings, as
to let any six men bag 100 of them in
the short season that occurred this year
Moreover, as there is a law to prevent
the Shipping of venison out of the state,
it would be interesting to know how
Whelan got his freight of 100 carcases
on the road to Chicago, as he declares
they are at this moment. The market
hunter denies that lights were used, or
that any of the deer were killed illegal
ly. He makes no secret of it that the
woods are full of dogs, though, and
that, in spite of laws to the contrary,
most of the deer are killed with the
aid of hounds.
Whelau says that the law against ship
ment from the state worked a saving
in one direction and wastefulness in an
other He points out that where a party
of hunters has succeeded in killing q
large number of deer, uncertainty of be-
ing able to dispose of their game pre-
vents their paying freight on it, with
the result that hundreds of carcases are
left hanging in the woods to rot or for

MURDERED HIS WIFE.
Mrs. Rufus @. Clark Shot and In
stantly Killed by Her
husband.

Cumberland, Wis, Oct. 30.-[Special.l
Rufus G. Clark, a farmer living near
this city, deliberately shot and killed
his wife in his own house last night as
the result of a quarrel. Clark is now
under arrest.
According to Clark's own story he got
into a quarrel with his wife, finally
calling her a liar. She retorted that
he was a liar, whereupon he took down
a 40-caliber rifle, and, aiming at her
heart, fired. The muzzle Of the gun was
less than three feet from Mrs. Clark S
person when the weapon was discharged,
and the bullet made a fearful hole
through her body, killing her Instant y,
the bullet lodging in the side of the
house.
Clark spread the news himself and
was soon in the hands of a posse of
neighbors, who caused his arrest. He
admits the murder and now awaits eX-
animation
