seems to4be chasing the delusion
that the legislature is still in
session, and that the darned old
state has got to be reformed in

to be having lots of trouble all by

who cares interested enough to
knock the chip off the beligerents
shoulder.

The suggestion by the state
board of health that the towns
and cities of Northern Wisconsin
be Reimbursed by the state out
of the contingent fund for
amounts spent in taking care of
transient smallpox cases has
been declared as beyond the
power of the state by the At
torney General. The Governor
in commenting on the matter
and in a letter to the secretary of
the state board of health says
that the state board has the
power to draw on the fund for
stamping out the disease, and IN
Inmates very strongly that they
should proceed to do this. The
state board mas not displayed
any great zeal in getting rid OF
the disease or in endeavoring to
curtail it. It's little in the day
for them to turn their attention
to the matter, but if they would
get a move on them of some kind
the result might be beneficial.

Lost a Valuable Horse.

Clerk of Court, John f. Hanson,
was unfortunate enough to lose fine
driving horse last week. 1t was the
same old story, "a fine horse kept in
pasture inclosed by barbed wire
fence, horse got cut and had to be
killed" Mr.. Hanson's horse nearly
severed one of it's fore feet from it's
leg last Sunday night, and medical
assistance did not give the animal any
relief, and Mr.. Hanson had him shot
Saturday to put it out of misery.
Accidents like the above are read of
quite frequently, and the sooner that
kind OF fence is disposed of. the less
number Of valuable herses will be
lost

A MURDER MYSTERY.
Remains of an Unknown
Man Found.
An Indian Makes the Discovery near
RumHeles Siding-A Linen Hand
kerchief with G E K Found
Only Identification nark.

Friday night Aug. 9, word was re-
ceived by NJ. Hirzel, Town Chairman
of this place, of the finding of the re-
mains of unknown man about ] a mile
South of Rummeles Siding, place
about 16 miles North of here. Coroner
Oberholtzer summoned jury con-
sisting of r. Slattery, A. A. Denton,
Milo Hart, j. J. Roderick, Stub
Lynch and joe Sheperaux. who with
Sheriff Elliott, Dist. Atty. Geo. E.
o'Connor, Constable Murphy and DR..
w. D. Neville went up on the mora
ing tgain to view the body. What
remained OF one of the coolest blooded
murders was brought back on the
first trainy and the coroner's inquest
was held at. the Town hall, and after
a short session adjourned until P.
N. Saturday evening, when several
witnesses were examined.
Dr.. Neville's testimony was the
most important, and he believed that
death was caused by violent means,
as all indications showed. Three or
four scalp wounds were found, part
of which looked like clean cut wounds
done by sharp instrument, and the
other holes looked like they were
made by blunt tool, besides the head
was covered with packing sack with
strap tied tight around his neck.
The man had one cotton glove on the
right hand, while the other glove was
wadded up and put into his mouth as
gag. The following description is
as good as can be given in the condi-
ton the body was found:
A white man, about 35 to as years
OF age, ABOUT 5 feet or 8 inch high,
short black straight hair, dark COM
plexion, and wore a grey checked coat
and vest, pants were not found, blue
fiannel shirt, suit of underwear,
light grey SOCKS with white tips, and
pair of tan shoes No. s. A one
b1aded pocket knife, and linen hand
kerchief with the capital letters c E K
worked in silk in one corner, was the
only things found on the remains,
which could lead to any Identification.
The murdered man appeared well
dressed, and might have been tour
ist, or evidently a stranger around
here, and he might have laid where
found from to II months, from his
appearance when found.
From all appearance it looks like
one of the coolest blooded murders on
record, and no doubt it will never be
known who the murdered man or the
murderer is. The proper authorities
are doing everything in their power
to unrayal the great mystery.
Coroner Oberholtzer continued the
inquest until Tuesday evening, at Z
o'clock, August 20, at the Town hall,
to find, if possible some further clue
as to the Identification of the man.
Any information that can be given
from the description above given, to
help unravel the mystery, as to the
indemnity of the murdered man. VIII
be cheerfully received by Coronet
Oberholtzer, Eagle River, Wis, on or
before August 20.
