biggest officer on the Force at Mill
Nyaukee Murdered.

Milwaukee. Oct. policeman John
Ilassow, the largest man on the Mill
waukee police force and giant In size,
was killed by Herman Mueller, whom
he had undertaken to arrest. The
tragedy took place in Muellers home,
546 Twentieth avenue. Kassow was on
his way home. 472 Seventeenth avenue,
for dinner, when he was called by Mrs.
Mueller, who was looking for a police
man. She told him her husband was
acting queerly, that they had quarreled
and she was afraid to remain in the
house.
kassow walked in and found Mueller
| in the bedroom sitting on chair. He
walked up to him and in a quiet way
told Mueller that he ought not to act so.
Mueller retorted with an oath and a
vile epithet. Kassow took hold of him
and was grappled by Mueller. The two
men struggled in the bedroom and from
there, still wrestling, they worked out
| into a kitchen. where they tripped over
something and fell to the floor. In the
fan Mueller, who is himself over six
fleet in height and sinewy, managed to
| get hold of kassow's club. With this
he hit the officer over the head, cutting
a deep gassl.
In spite Of this kassow seems to have
tcontinued the fight, for the kitchen is

be quite unique affair in the history
of the white house. For one thing it

not be thought of if the admiral had

would wish to do her honor also, but
the fact that he is widower greatly
simpifies matters.

of dignitaries present may be twice as

New niohmond pedlvivns.

New Richmond has recovered from
its low estate resulting from the tor
nado of The 18th Of June, so far as the
handiworx of the architect can rehab-
ilitate. Forty-four substantial BUSH
ness buildings have been erected, con-

Some wooden buildings outside OF the
fire limits have been built for business
purposes, and nearly as many resi-
dences have been rebuilt as were de-

of a new prairie town, as the shade

streets were entirely destroyed. The

the total contributions amounted TO

more than $12, 900 having been raised
by them. Other orders were also very
considerate of their suffering breth-

the distressed according TO their

able to build a fine church building
and the other suffering churches have
not been forgotten. The city is, or
soon will be, a better town than before

SPRING VALLEY

From Tie Sttfl.
When Spring Valley was incorpor-
ated. four years ago, there were $40 in
habitants. Lately there has been
much difference of opinion about the
matter, some claiming that we have
1000, and some 1900.
There have been more deaths in
Spring Valley the past week or two
than in any similar period Of its exist
ence. For while, indeed. we people
here were seemingly exempt from the
common lot: but the bony reaper has
found his way here, and will soon have
well-trodden path leading to our vii
lage.
In the 81 days the mail was weighed
here there were about 200fbs Of letters
posted here; the total mail from here
was 1900 pounds.
twenty carloads Of live stock were
shipped from Spring Valley during
the past week.
A Rebekah Lodge will be organized
here Monday night by Mrs. E. A.
Howe of River Falls.

The Rev. DR.. Boyd's prophecy, that
the earth would come to an end last
Saturday night, failed to take into
consideration a possible contingency
which afterthought might have sug-
gested. Fire and water do not assim :
ilate. The selfconstituted prophet
should have taken the weather into
consideration and prophesied with a
limitation: 1.-THE world will burn up
Saturday night, Nov. II, 1S99--if it
don't rain" The rain Saturday night
saved our "bacon" and possibly a rag
of fabric of DR.. Boyd's reputation as
not being a possible false prophet, or
luDatic.
