A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Fred Rodman Shot and Killed His Wife
July 7,

\ thrill of horror ran through this
usually quiet community Thursday
morning at about o'clock, when the
report went from mouth to mouth that
Fred Rodman had shot and killed his
wife at her home on Main street be-
tween the hours of and Z.
1t was known there had been some
trouble between them recently, and
they had practically separated, he have
ing gone to the Central House to board.
His actions yesterday were somewhat
suspicious, and last night he attempted
to break into the house, smashing one
of the windows. Constable Hanks took
him in charge and kept him in his barn
over night, but allowed him to leave in
the morning when he went to the house.
He was not supposed to be armed but
must have had the revolver concealed
somewhere in the house. It is said he
fired three shots, the first of which
passed through her heart, the next strik
ing corset stay and fattening out. He
then attempted to shoot his brother
Dick, who grappled with him and divert
ed the shot, which burned his coat
sleeve. He was then arrested and
hustled off TO Mootello by Constable
Hanks lfst the righteous indignation of
the copaimunity should prompt personal
violence.
The victim of this most dastardlv
crime was the former wife of Assembly
man Perkins, woman of unblemished
character and respected by everybody.
She has for some time been the etflcIent
assistant IN the postoffice, and is there
fore known and respected by all the
patrons Of the office
Farther particulars of this, the most
horrible tragedy that ever occurred in
community, will doubtless be brought
out at the coroner's inquest.-West

THE DOCTORS MEET.
Good Attendance for the Midsummer
Meeting in ForeSters, Hall.

Meeting in ForeSterS' Hall.
The midsummer meeting of the
Northwestern Medical association was
held in Foresters' hall today. The
attendance from outside the city was
quite large and encouraging for this
season of the year. The physicians
present were c. Won Neupert, Jr., F. A
Southwick, D. n. Alcorn, w. w. Greg
ory of Stevens Point, Freeman of
Colby; Frost of Almond; Corbett of
Neyauwcga; Hill, Fish, Nolte, Earl
and Hirth of Milwaukee; Russell of
Oshkosh; Sauerherring of Wausau;
Goggins and Hougen of Grand Rapids;

The meeting was called to order by
the president, DR.. Freeman. DR.. Nolte
of Milwaukee was admitted to member
ship. DIR. Hirth of Milwaukee read a
paper on Diseases of Infantile Life"
Dir. Fish of Milwaukee read Il paper on

and DR.. Farl Of the same city read a
thesis on Surgery Of the Nerves."
DR.. Witter, who recently removed to
San Jose, Cal, was placed upon the
roll of honorary membership. 1t is
probable that the next quarterly meet
ing Of association will be held at Osh-
kosh and that the members of the Fox
River Valley association will unite with
them in joint meeting of the two asso-
ciatiOns.-Stevens Point Journal.

EXPRESS OFFICES ARE UNITED,
Business of American and United States
Conducted Under One MANAGEMENT,

! SOiOuSkCu OluSl Vic NldlIdS SIIleIllr
Two auditors. Geo. c. Kettering OF
the American Express company and
q. L. BYrnes of the United States
company, arrived in Grand Rapids
Sunday evening and proceeded at once
to check up the books of the local
agencies preparatory to combining
them under one management. This
is part of the plan that the companies
agreed upon about two months ago in
regard to Wisconsin offices which
affects all offices in the state with the
| exception of those at Milwaukee and
La Crosse. In cities where both COM
panies had agencies it was agreed that
the company doing the largest buSi-
ness should take charge of the affairs
of the other company, thereafter run
ming both offices under the single
agency.
Examination of books for the year
beginning June, 1897, and ending
June, 1898, showed a larger amount
of business done during that period
in favor of the American express,
much to the surprise of the States
people. 1t was close race, however,
the difference in sum totals of trans
actions by each concern being less
than 800. Mr.. Cox office was closed
and the books turned over to Chas. A.
PhilleO, the transfer occurring We'd
nesday morning.
Agent PhilleO has now two offices
and the Western Union telegraph in
his charge. He retains Assistant
Jep Demarais and they are both very
busy men under the new order of
things. Mr.. Phileo has been a trusted
and earnest worker for the American
Express people and is to be cOngratu-
lated on the successful outcome of
this jOinting which is certain to bring
him an increase of salary. He will
keep two sets of books and must make
out separate reports for each company.
AS we understand it, the receipts of
all business done are apportiOned two
thirds to the company whose agent is
in control and One-third to the other.
Agent O. G. Cox, who was with the
United States, has no position in
sight at this writing, but has been
ordered to report at headquarters in
Chicago and will undoubtedly soon be
given new point. 1t is said that
his company is supplying new posi-
tions for many of the men thrown out
under the late plan. MI. COX had
been agent in Grand Rapids only a
few months, but in that short time
has proven himself a competent, gen.
ial and obliging parsonage with the
trade. When he departs this evening,
Thursday, he will leave many warm
friends behind. The best wishes of
US all follow the jolly Kentucky colo
mel wherever he may go. The horse,
wagons and office furniture of the
States company has been shipped by
Mr.. Cox to headquarters in Minneap-
oils and Milwaukee.
Arthur Pepin, assistant to Mr.. Cox,
and now also out of position, hopes
to be given employment soon with his
company in some other city.

HOW IT HAPPENED.
Frank Arnod's Death Trap in Nekoosa
Mill Modest Looking Affair.

''''' u NIOdNoA LSOhiiiS f'iNii'
While in Nekoosa Tuesday we visited
the place in the basement of the Ne
koosa paper mill, where Frank Arnold
so suddenly and shockingly met his
death. 1t is the most unsuspecting
looking trap for the murder of a man
that we ever saw. Here we found a
small five inch belt, probably about 16
feet long, used in running a calendar
pan" and connected from the pan with
the main shaft Of that par: of the mill.
This was the belt Geo. A. Hamilton, the
millwright, was taking up the slack in.
The belt was off the pulleys and Frank
Arnold was asked to hold this belt in
his hands and keep it off the shaft
while Mr.. Hamilton went after tool
he was in need Of to do the work with.
Mr.. Arnold was standing upon a tenn
porary platform made of common
pine door, inch thick, resting upon two
saw horses and about three feet from
the ground. One end of the door
rested against the stone wall, making a
solid backing. When the millWright
returned, after an absence Of probably
one minute he saw the liver and heart
of the man where they had been thrown
against bundles of pulp stored in the
basement, his lower limbs at one end of
the door upon which the man had been
standing, and the trunk Of the body
minus the arms at the other end. The
two hands and arms were found fas-
tened rolled up into the belt next to
the shaft.
These sights told the whole story.
While Mr.. Hamilton was gone Arnold
must have allowed the slack IN the belt
to come in contact with the main shaft,
which was making at least 800 revolu-
tions a minute, which caught and fas-
tened his hands On the first revolu-
ton his body struck the sharp edge of
the inch door which severed the body
in twain. The man probably never
knew what happened him 1t was done
so suddenly.
His remains were taken to Grand
| Rapids Thursday, and the funeral SER
vices held at the Catholic church. He
leaves a wife and nine children to
mourn his untimely death. The oldest
child is only Is years of age.

Burglary at PittsviIIe.

Monday morning, July 4, the people
of Pittsville were surprised to learn
that COlvin & Co.'s store had been
broken into the night before and quite
a large amount of goods, consisting of
watch chains, collar buttons, clothing
and tobacco had been taken. The per-
petrators entered through the side
window and did not, in any way, try to
cover their retreat. During the fore
noon several boys around the town be-
gan to show various trinkets which had
been taken the night before. Suspicion
at once fell on Luke Pitts, Jr., and he
was Immediately placed under arrest
and held until Under-sheriH Little
arrived when he was placed in his
charge and taken to Grand Rapids to
await hearing. Young Pitts was taken
before Justice Cooper in Centralia on
Monday of this week. The charge of
burglary was withdrawn and one of
petty larceny substituted in its place.
Pitts pleaded guilty to petty larceny,
was fined $500 and costs, amounting in
all to $26.30. He paid the amount and
was discharged.

BUFFALO BILL.
His Famous Wild West Exhibition Will Be
in Wausau, Aug. 5.

~ 'o1oouI mug ~
Lieutenant General John NJ. Scho-
held, retired, and recalled from private
life to act as military advisor to Pres
ident Mckinley during the war with
Spain, said recently: whether this
war be of brief or prolonged duration
it has done one thing of incalculable
value to the country, and that is, it
has aroused the patriotism of the
people which lies too long dormant in
times of peace. In fact, almost the
only institution to excite the military
spirit in the youth of the land has
been show Buffalo Bill'S Wild West
and in that respect Col. Cody's exhi-
bition is a real institution, rather
than show"
Was ever another such compliment
paid to any SCrt of an amusement ex-
hibitiOn? When its character is I'M
derstood, Gen. Schotield's compliment
is justified. 1t is diStinctively an
international military tournament of
iSuI SOINlClS IlOIl UllC cavalry dllu
artillery Of England, Germany, Russia,
Cuba and the United States. Over
100 Indian chiefs and warriors from
the six great tribes show the savage
soldier; Mexican NaquerOs, GuacheS
of Argentina; Arabs and MOOrs Of
Asia and Africa have also seen service
in the armies of their respective
countries. The band of Cuban"yet-
Grams, wounded and MANNED until
their fighting days are ended, still can
sit in the saddle and show the stamp
of men who have fought SO valiantly
for free Cuba. A superb military
spectacle, Clusters Last Battle pro-
duced with splendid special scenery
and hundreds of soldiers and savages
in mimic combat as realistic as the
real, is still another thing that will
excite in everyone the desire to see
the greatest of all exhibitions when it
appears at Wausau, Aug. 3.
Excursion rates will be made on all
lines of travel to the Wild West on
that day.
