1t is alleged that the husband was un-
der the influence of liquor when the as
sault took place,
Frank Strecker>met with an accident
near Spicer several days ago which
he does not care to have repeated
again. He had occasion to make a
business visit to one of the Green Lake
residents, and not wishing to make
his journey longer than absolutely
necessary, decided to jump off the
train before it arrived at the station.
AS consequence he was unable to re-
tain his balance when alighting and
fell to the ground. He escaped with
several bruises, his hands being badly
scratched in their contact with the
ground. Frank now prefers to allow
Jim Hill's trains to carry him to their
full destination.
