resident of this city, died last
Wednesday afternoon at her home,
$40 North Eighth street, aged Sc
years. She had suffered with hernia
for some time past, and the day
previous to her death an operation
was performed as last resort towards
saving her life, but her condition
proved too weak to withstand the
ordeal. Mrs. Wetter was a native of
Germany and is survived by ten
children. She was highly esteemed
by all who knew her and her death
is generally regretted. The funeral
was held from St. Henry's church
Saturday morning.
Mrs. William Wiedenhoeft, Of 1I04
North Fourth street, departed this lie
last Wednesday afternoon at the age
Of II years, after protracted illness.
Deceased was born in Pomerania, Ger

try, living first for a year in Milwau-
kee and then settling here. She was

joyed the respect and friendship of a
host of acquaintance. Her husband
and five children survive. The fun
eral occurred Sunday afternoon from
! St. Marks Lutheran church.
Mrs. w. Krubsack died Friday

What Judge Bennett Said.

The appeal case in the Cole will
matter and Judge Benefits remarks
on the same are thus alluded to by
The Jefferson Banner:
The Cole will matter appeared in
court once more. Harlow Pease, the
city of Watertown's attorney, appealed
to the circuit court from decision OF
the county court. After the appeal
had been taken the city effected a
settlement with others interested in the
litigation without consulting Mr..
Pease. Shortly after the city council
passed a resolution dismissing Mr..
Pease and instructing City Attorney
Wieman to appear in the city's behalf
in subsequent proceedings. Last
Thursday the city attorney appeared
in the court, gave an account OF the
settlement that had been made and
asked that the appeal be dismissed.
Judge Bennett refused the request,
holding that, as the record now Is,
Mr.. Pease is the only attorney that
can be recognized as the attorney for
the city of WATERFOWL, until the city
has substituted another for him in
legal manner. In announcing his
ruling the judge took occasion to
compliment Mr.. Pease for the skill
with which he had guarded the city s
| interests and to condemn in general
all attempts of clients summarllY to
dismiss their attorneys in any
other way than that provided by law
to insure the proper consideration OF
the interests of all parties-attorneys
as well as itigants-to litigation up
to the time when it is desired to make
such dismissals."
