SHOT HIS WIFE TWICE.
Edward Sherbarth of Portage Held
on Charge of Deliberately Muir
dering His Wife.

Portage, Wis, June 2O.-[Special. j
This city was the scene of a most revolt
ing wife murder about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Edward Scherbarth is u Ger
man small farmer residing on the old
p!ankroad in the outskirts of the city. He
and his wife have frequently INDUCED in
family quarrels, so the neighbors say.
Both were addicted to the use of liquor
and were known to very often drink to-
gether. The couple are the parents of
eight children, and during the day the
younger children who had remained at
home with the parents, took the horse and
wagon and went on a fishing trip. When
left alone the man and woman began
quarreling over some trivial affair. Scher-
barth, who was very much under the in
fuence of liquor, choked her and threat
ened to kill her with hoe. which be Sc
cured nearby. She eluded his grasp when
he drew a revolver and fired two shots
at her. The first shot missed, but the
second entered near the eye and penetrat-
ed the brain, killing her instantly. Den
mis- Flynn, next door neishbor, wit
messed the killing, and says the shots
were fired so rapidly that he had no oppOr-
tupity to interfere. When he reached the
PROSTATE form of the woman she was
dead.
persons who arrived on the scene directly
after the shooting occurred that he had
been indulging in target practice with his
revolver, when his wife apprOa ched and
twitted him on his wretched marksman-
ship, saying among other things that he
couldn't hit the broad side of a barn."
This so enraged him that he turned the
weapon upon her. After being arrested
by Officer Clark and taken to the police
station, he seemed 10 realize the enOrmi-
ty of his crime and wept bitterly, pro-
testing that the killing was accidental.

brutal husband and father, and has fire.
quently been arrested and sent to Jail for
drunkenness. About twenty years ago
in this city, Scherbarth shot and killed d
man named Tracey, but was acquitted
on the ground of self-defense. Tracey
was a brakeman in the employ of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
stock-buyer. 1t was alleged that Tracey
attempted to rob Scherbarth Of a large
sum of money that he carried with him.
Scherbarth shot him. infictlng a wound
from which he died after being taken
to the county Jail.

nary hearing was postponed, pending the
verdict of the corOner's jury, which is in
session today at the courthouse.
1t is stated here by old residents that
the man Tracey who was shot here many
years ago, did not die. Scherbarth was
acquitted at that time of the charge of
attempted murder, on the claim that he
shot the man in self-defense. Some
years ago Scherbarth served a term at
Waupun for burglary, having entered a
house in the vicinity of PardeeyilIe and
taken watch therefrom.

GOLFING SONG.

O for the Links o. the Land O the Leal,
When the Golfers come together
And the charmed Club like wizards reel,
Spins out shuttled tether,
For the Ball that flies like a wingleSS bird,
'mong the tufts o. turf and heather.
Scots who love the Land o. the Leal
Are Ieal unto the Links weel
And love with all a ZealOt's zeal
The guild auld game o GoufI
Club the Ball from Tee to Hole,
Let every stroke be mended,
And give the globe its golfing goal
From Tee to Hole attended
Nor let Il Golfer miss the globe, until the
game is ended.
Maggie the Driver to and fro,
And strike the Ball. and make it go,
Nor Sclaff, nor slice, nor heel, nor toe,
But club the globe for Golf.
Follow the Ball with heart and hope,
Make every stroke a wonder,
Till the score is down. and the holes are up,
And the Ball beyond all blunder.
And the rounds shall ring while the Cad
dies bring, with the small applause of
thunder.
A good grip when the play is poor,
A long swing and q swift and sure
On the Links is the Golfers giIded lure,
In the guild auld game O Gouf!
From Teeing-grOund to Putting-green,
Let not Il turnkey 1unker,
But steady hand and watchful cen
Be style for every yOunker,
And n swift full SWfpe that will break the
ball thro the bounds of every Bunker.
The game is lost or won, ween,
In the play upon the Putting-green,
When the players skill and craft is seen,
IN the guild auld game o GOuf!

Pleasant Features for a Party.

An interesting feature of a party for
boys and girls may be got up by securing
a number of inexpensive presents, at
least three times as many as there are
guests, and putting them separately in
flowers made of tissue paper. The gifts
should be all done up so as to be about
the same size and put into an open bas-
ket, arranged SO as to look like a large
punch of pOsies.
The flowers are made by taking about
a dozen sheets of tissue paper, cOmpris-
ing as many cOlOrs as possible, and fold
ing them together in the middle, each
corner being arranged in the shape of
pyramid and then doubled twice and
piece cut out of the top in the shape Of
the letter Y.
Each sheet is to be crimped in the
hand as fine as possible, and the colOrs
may be arranged according to taste.
Games of different kinds should have
been in progress, and when the little
ones get tired Of playing it is well to dis
tribute the gifts. For each present there
is one white and one red card, the latter
being distributed equally among the play
ers, and the former being placed in a
box on the table. When this is done the
children write questions on the white
card, or quotations about plants, trees
or flowers may be substituted instead,
but whatever is written it's name must
be put on the red card. To prevent mis-
takes, a number is prefixed to the white
and red cards. The red cards are shaken
up in hat and after each player has
taken out his proportion the white ones
are piled one on another. so that only
the upper one is visible when the player
is selected to read them.
The one who has the correct answer
on his red card is entitled to the present,
which is selected at random.
If any player gives the wrong answer
he is obliged to give up to the winner
all the presents he has already taken.
If ring or some article of value is
among the gifts the one who receives it
must give the next party

WAS SLAIN AND BURNED.
Daughter of Thomas Seldom Muir
dered at Pepin.
A SHOCKING CRIME.
Robber Fires the Dwelling to Wipe
Out All Traces of His Ter
rib1e Deed.

Pepin, Wis. June 17.-[Speciall-
Mary Seldom, the 17-year-old daughter of
Thomas Seldom, farmer living in a
well-settled neighborhood two miles
northeast of Pepin villa ge, was murdered
by robbers yesterday afternoon at about
1 o'clock while alone in the house, which
was fired to hide all traces of the crime.
The body was nearly consumed, only
some of the larger bones and skull re-
naming intact.
Although a dozen houses are in sight of
the place of the tragedy, only one woman
was at home in the neighborhood, the
other people being in attendance at the
G. A. r. interstate reunion at Pepin.
-Four hundred dollars was left in a sec
retaty by the father that morning, large
part of which was silver and gold. No
traces Of it can be found in the ashes,
and it is thought the money has been Sc
cured by the robbers.
Seldom had the reputation of keeping
large sums of money in the house, and a
suspicious character was seen near there
at about II o'clock. A suspect was ar
rested at Pepin this morning.
Some insurance was carried on the
house, which was worth about $1,000.

Delavan, Wis, June 17.-The finding
of the body of the missing Thomas Fitz-
gerald, said to have been drowned by ac-
cident, puts new light on the story which
may take serious turn. Fitzgerald had
gone on the lake with Michael Whalen,
and the two went from place to place up
and down the lake, it is said, drinking all
day. The last time fitzgerald was seen
alive by any one but his companion, was
when he left a saloon late Sunday night
to row across the lake with Whalen.
Early Monday morning Whalen was
found on a hotel piazza asleep. He said
when arrested that Fitzgerald was at
the bottom of the lake. that Fitzgerald
thought he could row faster than Wha-
len, and that he fell overheard while try
ing to exchange seats in the boat. VIVA
len had been held, pending the recovery
of the body. The medical examination
of the remains today disclosed several
gashes on the head Owing to the abb
sence of necessary witnesses the inquest
was adjourned until Saturday.
