Lightning's S Work

The damaging effect of lightning
was manifested in several instances
during the recent storms. Friday
evening horse owned by Frank H.
lehman, and utilized at the lumber
yard of Lehman & Keppler, was
struck by an electric current and in
stantly killed, while standing in the
stable on First street Mr.. Lehman
had just led the horse to his STALL
after having given him a bath in the
river, and was standing by the animals
side when the lightning struck. 1t is
surprising that Mr.. lehman was not
injured. The horse was valued at 500.
During the same storm a cow be-
longing to William Schroeder, 1901
Rockwell street, was killed by bolt
of lightning, while standing under a
tree. Carl Wiedenhoeft's dwelling,
at 1416 Dakota street, was also struck
by lightning, but no particular dam
age resulted.
Saturday afternoon at 4:30 the barn
on the premises of Emil Henning,
1922 Wilder street, was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground,
together with the contents. The fire
department was unable to render as
sistance owing to the lack of water
supply, the nearest hydrant being
about a mile from the property.

MICHAEL QUIGLEY DEAD.
"A floheer Business Man of This City
Expires in Chicago.


And still another of the few remain
ing pioneer settlers of WatertOwn has
passed to the great beyond in the per-
son OF Michael Quigley, than whom
perhaps none had more extensive
acquaintance. He died last THURSDAY
evening at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. f. r. Lamb, 1926 Cornell avenue.
Chicago, aged Is years. Up to two
months ago Mr.. Quigley resided
here among his long time friends, but
feeble and rapidly declining health
compelled his removal to where mem
bers OF his family could give him their
attention in his last days. On Satur-
day morning his funeral was held
from St. Bernard's s church, this city,
and the body laid to rest in ST. Bern
ards cemetery.
Mr.. Quigley was born in the County
Donegal, Ireland, September 29, 1922,
and emlgrated to the United States in
1o4o, settling here in July of that
year A cabinet-maker by trade, he
engaged in the furniture business and
was for many years numbered among
our city foremost merchants. Later
he added an undertaking department,
which he conducted up to recent years.
Mr.. Quigley was also proprietor of the
West Avenue house for long period.
Deceased was a man of considerable
ability both in his chosen profession
and intellectually. In his youth his
inventive genius was used to advant-
age and among the results of this was
one of the earliest extension tables of
merit placed on the market. Much of
his spare time was also devoted to
the study of literature and he was
classed among the best read men of
this vicinity. The interest he took
alongA this line eliminated in the
authorship of several works, promi-
nent among which was 1.-The Friar's
Curse. very meritorious production
that enjoyed an extensive sale and
was widely read. 1t treated of life
and scenes in the north of Ireland,
with which the author was well quail
fed to deal.
Mr.. Quigley retired from active
business some ten years ago. His
wife, nee Mary Clifford, died in 1898.
He is survived by six children: Miss
Annie, Mrs. F. r. Lamb and Miss
Winnie, OF Chicago; Mrs. Thomas
Foley, of st. Paul; Charles and Frank.

Accidental Drowning.

Denny Hughes was drowned in the
river Sunday afternoon. He started
to swim across from the Fuermann
brewery, and when near the west
shore was taken with cramp, evil
dently. Life was extinct when the
body was removed from the water.
He was an expert swimmer and was
wont to give exhibitions of his ability
in this line; in fact, it is claimed he
was performing such feat for a mere
pittance when he met his death. A
coroner's jury impaneled by Justice
Stacy rendered a verdict of accidental
drowning Monday. The remains were
taken to Jefferson for interment at the
county poor farm.
The deceased was one of the odd
characters about town and lived in a
rather careless manner. He was
nevertheless possessed of many good
qualities. Honesty, friendliness and
due respect for his fellows were
among his chief characteristics. In
his earlier years Denny followed q
sailors life on the ocean and his
narrations concerning the many coun.
tries and ports he had visited were
indeed interesting. He was about AZ
years of age and had no relative:

NO. ~.
Was the Wrong Man.

The following rather spicy episode,
duplicating two Fort Atkinson parties,
is narrated by The Milwaukee Senti-
mel of Monday:
| w. A. Woodruff, an electrician of
Fort Atkinson, was arrested yesterday
on suspicion of having stolen 800
from District Attorney Wigdale, of the
same place. 1t was learned later that
Mr.. Woodruff was innocent of the
charge, and he was released. He
says he will begin suit for false i'm
prisOnment
Early yesterday morning District
Attorney Wigdale reached the city
and reported to the police that he was
looking for Woodruff, whom he sus-
pected of having robbed him of 800
and some railroad tickets. Detect
ives Moth and Markey were sent out
and found Woodruff at Grand avenue
and Third street. He was brought to
the station, and when confronted with
the charge asserted his innocence.
''When they arrested me on the
charge of stealing the money!" said
Mr.. Woodruff last night, Il told them
that had borrowed the money, but
they called me liar and said that |
had stolen it. [ told them where [
had borrowed $50 on the day l left
Fort Atkinson to come to this city in
search Of employment, but they would
not believe me. They stripped ME
and searched for the money, but failed
to find any. Then they locked me in
a cell. There | was kept from 10
o'clock in the morning until after 6
o'clock in the evening. Then [ was
told that it was mistake, and Wig
dale said that he would see that
everything was kept quiet about the
affair. 1t seems that while / was in
jail they telephoned to Fort Atkinson
and learned that I had told them the
truth and that | had borrowed $50.
1.-The way the district attorney came
to suspect me was this: Last Thurs
day he lost 800 and some railroad
tickets. On the same day borrowed
$50 to come to Milwaukee. I called
on my wife, who is employed in the
telephone exchange, three doors from
Wigdale's Office. I gave her some
money and then went to the depot,
where | bought a ticket. | gave the
agent 500 bill, but he could not change
it, so | handed him $40 bill. In this
mau he saw 7 had ronaV and when
Wigdale reported the loss of his money
and it became known that | left the
same day and had money he suspect
ed me-"
Mr.. Woodruff is a well-known base
ball player and member of the Fort
Atkinson team. He has played in the
state league for several years, and is
now negotiating to sign with the
Minneapolis team.

Much Petty Thieverv

Thieves have been abroad in the
city during the past week. Wednes-
day night they gained entrance to the
office of S. M. Eaton & Son and opened
the drawers of the desks, but found
nothing to appropriate to their liking.
Thursday night an entrance was
effected to the cellar of John Schempf's
residence, where a quantity of liquid
refreshments was made way with. The
same night a man was discovered in the
act of removing window screen from
the home of Robert Jones, but was
frightened away by Mrs. Jones. Another
cellar-entering and refreshment-par-
taking episode occurred Friday night
at the residence of John Habhegger,
the marauders, however, not succeed
ing in finding their way to other por-
tions of the house. Greater success
attended their efforts Sunday night,
when the saloon Of Herman Dobbratz,
POI Market street, was broken into
and $12 in cash, 800 cigars and some
tobacco coniscated. Monday morning
at 5 o'clock an Over-nervy fellow at
tempted to enter several Western ave.
nue. residences, but found no doors
open. He thereupon removed a screen
from cellar window at Robert Abele's
home, entered the cellar and filed {
basket with articles found there, which
he carried away. This whole WORK
looks like that of local talent, and with
little vigilence perhaps some dis
closures might be made.

ORDINARILY pagan Japan is freer
from crime than any other nation OF
approximately the same population, and
not long since the emperor of that
country sent a considerable cash prize
to q town among whose inhabitants not
even so much as a misdemeanor had
been committed for two hundred years.
But the recent atrocious operations OF
Jack the Ripper in the city of Toxic
shows that when they try real hard
the japanese can be as wicked and saw
age as the people of Chris tian En- gland
In the city named several young ladies
of the better class were recently butch
cred, arately, by an unknown assas-
sin who acted on the line of Jack the
Ripper, and the result was that wave
OF suicidal hysteria swept over the
place and many young ladies committed
suicide through fear of mutilation by
the assassin.

Missouri Python.

Farmers in the vicinity Of Lock
Springs, Mo, have been greatly har-
raised for several weeks through dep
radations on their chickens and pigs,
and the mystery was not solved until
recently when Newton McCrary started
on the trail of what appeared to Ue a
monster snake. He travelled a distance
of two miles when he ca = e to the ban ks
of the Grand river, where it appeared
the reptile entered the water. n Sc rich
of the vicinity later on rewarded Me-
Crazy for his persistence. Apparently
asleep, after having dispatched several
full grown chickens, lay a reptile OF
such monstrOus proportions that the
man was transfxed with fear. His
courage returning, McCrary sent a
charge of buckshot into the head of the
reptile and precipitately fled. The
contOrtions of the snake as it laShed its
tail and body against the ground and
trees added to the fears OF the now
thoroughly terrified man. Summonlng
the assistance of neighbOrs, McCrary
cautiously led back an armed party,
when, to his satisfaction the life OF the
reptile was found to be extinct. 1t
measured IL feet and the body was as
large as an ordinary stove pipe. The
species of the reptile is not known,
although it looks very much like a
python. Early in the spring it was
seen several miles further up the Grand
river, but reports of the terrified spec
tators were not generally credited.

Treat all Women as Sisters.

EDITOR HERALD:-The writer could
not help but take particular notice of
the letter in Wednesdays HERALD,
signed Mrs. Helen Weir, as every
word in it was the bald-headed truth.
Any man who patrOnizes house of
ill-fame is d criminal, because: First,
be is SHINING against his own soul: Sec
ond, he is, by his patronage. helpiu e
to maintain an institution, which takes
every possible means to trap innocent
girls and which drives fallen girls
still further down the path OF destruc-
ton. A protesting Christian, guilty
of such sin, is q monster too horrible
to think of, as he prays, Thy King
dom come" while he is doing all in his
power to advance the DEVILS king
dom.
Any immoral man is making it pos
sible for his own sisters and daughter
10 be entrapped or driven to a house of
evil, as three fourths of their partners
In crime did not enter upon this life of
her own accord, and even if she did, he
is still guilty of the sin OF impurlty.
Let every man treat every woman as
he would have his own sisters treated.
Yours for honor,
