PIKE LAKE NEWS.
WISCONSIN.

The town of Pike Lake, which con
tributes more sensational news TO the
columns of the city papers than any
other town in the county, has been un-
usually quiet for some time past. This
week, however, it has again come to
the front with its usual grist, this time
two shooting eases. On Wednesday
August Walkowski was arrested and
brought before Justice j. A. Jones on
complaint of Julius PliSka who charged
him with assault with intent TO do great
bodily harm. WalkowSki is very poor
revolver shot, according to Pliska's
statement. The two had quarreled
over some matter and Walkowsk pulled
out n gun and fired two shots at com.
plainaRt at 4 very short distance but
missed him. The case was adjourned
70 July 2d
On Thursday Jos. Gaszinski, of the
same town appeared in the city and
made complaint against Joe Trebi,
whom he declared had attempted to
take his life on the day previous Ac-
cOrding to complainaut's statement he
had had trouble with Trebi, and on the
day mentioned the latter passed by his
farm, where he was at work, and fired
several shots at him.

BOUND OVER.

Herbert Topham, of Dancy, was be-
fore Justice Jones Thursday afternoon
on complaint of "Doc" b. f. KoOns,
who charges him with adultery. The
other party associated with Topham in
the charge was Koons' wife. After
listening to the testimony Topham was
bound over to circuit court in IT, sum
of $780, which bail he furnished. The
testimony brought forth showed the
parties to the affair to be of sort that
decent people would not care to asSoci-
ate with The story of the Koons
family's residence here, and the trouble
they caused the officials and humane
society, are too we'll known to bear
repetition. 1t appears that after Mrs.
kOOns was taken from the poor house
by her uncle Geo. Topham, she lived
with him for a few months and then
Joined her husband ut New London
Young Topham introduced letters in
court showing that Koons and wife
have since been trying to eXtOrt money
from him upon threats of prosecution.
This money he refused to pay, and suit
was accordingly brought against him.
The women is young and quite good
looking, and last winter appeared to be
deserving of the pity she received at the
hands of Wausau people, but this affair
will have u tendency to dampen the
ardor of those who at that time took an
an interest in her.

CONNECT VALLEY TOWNS.

If plans now up for action ever reach
successful ending it is possible that all
towns in this portion of the Wisconsin
Valley may at some not far distant day
have direct connection with one
another. The plan of joining Scho-
field, Wausau, Brokaw and Merrill by
interurban line is too well known to re-
ceive additional mention. Now comes
another. A resolution has been intro
duced to the Grand Rapids city council
granting a franchise to certain of its
citizens to build a line of street railway
in that town and a like resolution is
also to be presented to the Stevens
Point council for street railway fra n
chise in that city. There is also strong
talk of connecting the two cities by a
line, the projectors of the scheme being
capitalists Of both cities, and a success
full termination of the scheme is looked
for at an early date After the Wausau-
Merrill road has been put in operation
which is now indicated will be done, it
will be in order TO have line built
southwark connecting with Mosinee,
KuowltOn; Stevens Point and Grand
Rapids This scheme will certainly
materalize sometime, and at not Il dis
tant date we hope.
