A Faction Takes Possession OF q
Church and Threaten Blood.
Dodgeville, Wis, Aug. 10.-A church
war has broken out here and the
streets are filled with excited people.
The congregation of the Primitive
Methodist church last fall resolved
itself into a Congregational church and
continued to use the church and par
sonage, no change being made except
in name. About dozen of the PRINT
tive congregation refused to unite with
the new organization and determined
to secure control of the property. They
elected some of themselves trustees.
Last night certain parties forced them
selves into the church, barricaded the
doors and posted a notice on the front
door that the property was in the
hands of the trustees of the Primitive
Methodist church and that any person
interfering with it would do so at his
Peril. The barricaded party had re-
volvers and clubs and were prepared
to hold their position. Then the ex-
element became intense and nearly
the entire town fiocked down to the
place. One of the party was arrested
and locked in jail. He halls from Min
eral Point. He says he was hired by
the pretended trustees.

ZueIke Talks.

hartford, Wis, Aug. 6.-Julius Zuel-
Ike. who waived examination on the
charge of numbering Edward Davis,
will probably plead guilty to a lesser
charge and take his chances with a
jury here. Zuelke says the report that
the sheriff of Polk county had cap
tured him first IS false; that no one
ever saw him or approached him in
any way until he was arrested by FerG
IN Montana. Farmers hereabouts are
inclined to favor him, and the opinion
is general that # tried here he will re-
ceive a light sentence.

dence of the defense in the Wamsley

TO PAY BONDS.
Superior Does Not Want Illegal
bonds Made ~ Legal Obligation.

West Superior Wis, Aug. 7.-Busi-
ness men are all stirred up over the
plan of the administration to refund
the city's bonded Indebtedness and is
sue new twenty-year bonds. The idea
is to pay up bonds for which funds
can be scraped together and refund
the rest as lien on posterity." Many
taxpayers construe it as an attempt to
make them pay illegal bonds. Many
city bonds, if this project does not
carry, are likely to be repudiated by
reason of technical wrongs in their is
suancc, saving hundreds of thousands
to the taxpayers.
