Green Bay, Wis, JAM 7.-ESpecial.]-
Few people here or elsewhere realize
that not far from the limits of Green Bay
may be found the foundations of one Of
the most successful colonization projects
ever attempted in Wisconsin. About
fifteen years ago J. Jollof bought a few
forties in the towns of Lessor and An
gelica and induced some Polish settlers
to locate there. The success of his
scheme induced hirn to purchase more
land in 1888 and the next colony was;
located i'm this county Immediately south
of the city. 1t consisted of thirty Polish
families who came from Milwaukee. It
was called Hofa park and soon had 100
Polish families. A company was formed
that soon laid plans for another colony
at Pulaski, seven miles north of Hofa
park. This settlement now consists of
500 Polanders. Later the settlement of
Sobeski was formed. and later Kraken
in the town Of Little Suamco. Some of
the lands which were at first considered
practically valueless are now farms that
it would take good deal of money to
buy. None of these men. it is stated,
have ever been engaged in a lawsuit
and there has not been a mortgage fore
closed in any of the settlements. They
are well supplied with churches and
schools and the amount of trade that
they bring to Green Bay would be hard

CITY HELD RESPONSIBLE.
Heirs of Mrs. Strauch Awarded Damages
at ManitowOc.

Manitowoc, WISE Jan. 1S.-[Special]
The first case to be decided by the cir
cult court this week was that Of ex-
Sheriff William Stephan, as admins
traitor of the estate of the late Mrs. John
Strauch against the city of Manitowoc
for damages. The suit has been pending
for some time ard has attracted great
deal of attention. On the evening of
August p. 1891, Mrs. Strauch walked
into the open draw on Main street bridge
and was drowned. She left eight small
children. An effort was made TO effect
a settlement with the city, but it failed.
The jury WAS on. all night and this
morning returned n verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $1770. The city
was held responsible because of the poor
light at the approach to the bridge. The
city will probably appeal the case.
