SHERIFF. DICKINSON HURT
Meets With An Accide at Dubuque
Tuesday. Two Ribs Broken

Grant county had narrow escape
from losing her valued sheriff last
Monday, but he was not as badly in
jured as at first reported.
Sheriff Dickinson was in Dubuque
on business, and started for home up
the river on a Milwaukee freight
train. The train was brought to a
sudden stop on account of an open
switch and the passengers in the
caboose were badly shall e up, Mr..
Dickinson having sustained two
broken ribs and some bruises.
He was taken at once to Finley
hospital, where he is well cared for.
Mrs. Dickinson went down immedi-
lately on learning the news but was
expected home this evening.
Mr.. Dickinson Will have several
long days in which to speculate on
the uncertainty of freight trains and
a reasonable indemnity from the
railroad company.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Ardena Irish EndeavOrs to Cheat the La w
With a Gun Monday.

Mrs. Ardena Kern Irish, wife of
Harry Irish, nearly succeeded in
committing suicide last Monday. She
shot herself with a 32-caliber revol-
yer, the ball entering the body just
above the heart and probably lodg-
ing near the spine. The doctors
say she has fair chances Of recovery.
The marshal arrested the woman
and Chas. Volkroot of Sitter on a
charge Of improper relations, and
had them before the district attOr-
ney when the man was returned to
jail. The woman asked permission
to be taken home to change her
clothing and the marshal complied
with the request.
Upon arriving at the house the
marshal stopped to tie his horse and
the woman went into the house.
She went directly to bureau draw
er and without any hesitation took
out the revolver and shot herself.
Drs. Seaman and Hassell were
hastily summoned. They dressed
the wound, and the outcome is sad
to be uncertain for several days, al
though it is asserted that her CHANG
es for recovery are very fair.
It is miracle how a ball could
pass so near the heart and through
the air cells of the lungs without do
ing any more injury.
Previous to her marriage the wo-
man was considered a little fast and
had been in Jail before. tits thought
that it was her horror of going to
jail which inspired the act.

Hymeneal.

Wedding bells again pealed forth
their glad notes announcing the
contamination of the wishes of a
loving couple. Cupid pulled the
rope and out from the belfry a
shower of harmonious notes fell up
on the perfumed air. Mr. Mounts
Mortenson came from Waupaca,
where he has been the assistant
principal of the High school for
some time and is to serve in that ca
pacity another year, to claim his
lovely bride, Miss Mary M. Cooley,
the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Reuben and Elizabeth
Cooley of FennimOre. She too has
been devoting her strength and ener-
gy in the same profession, and evil
IDENTIFY with marked success, as she
has been employed in the Merrill
schools for nine years and they de-
sired her retention on the staff of
instructors for another year and Of
fered promotion with increase OF
sala. ~. The immediate relatives
met in the parlor of the Lancaster
House, where Rev. T. j. Brown per-
formed the wedding ceremony. The
bride was dressed in navy blue
serge with white silk trimmings.
The happy couple left on the even
inc train for Milwaukee and trip
on the lakes and expect to reach
their new home in Waupaca about
the 18th of September.

Shirt Sale.

For the next two weeks we shall give
exceptional values in Fancy Negligee

We'd never have had to name this
price if the season had been as warm
as the average, and we wouldn't now if
we cared to carry these shirts over to
next season.
But our policy is to sell everything
in season to make room for new goods
constantly arriving, SO they have got
to 60, and SOC is price low enough to
dispose of them quickly. Shirts that
sold as high as $125 are included in
this lot.

Notice to Voters.

Fennimore, Wis, August Is, 1902
Inquiry has been made whether
delegates to the convention to nOml-
nate county officers can be lawfully
chosen at the caucuses which are to be
held on Saturday, August %, 1902, for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the Assembly District Conventions.
In view Of the fact that some pre-
cincts may contemplate electing dele
gates to both conventions at the
Assembly caucuses, deem it advisable
to reply to such inquiry by open letter
in order that voters generally may be
duly advised in the matter.
1t would be clearly irregular, and
hold unlawful, under Chapter 341, laws
of 1899, and in conflict with rulings of
the State Central Committee, to elect
delegates to convention that had not
been called. Undoubtedly it would be
the duty of the County Committee in
case of protest or contest to withhold
the credentials of precinct SO electing
it's delegates and thereby debar it from
participation in the convention.
I fully appreciate the convenience to
voters in not being permitted to elect
delegates to both these conventions at
the one caucus, and regret that the
present caucus law does not allow a
freer and more liberal action by the
voters of precinct in these matters.
Yours very truly,
ID. Z. PARKER,
Chm Grant Co. Rep. Com.

SAD CASE OF INSANITY.
Miss Winifred Charlton, Daughter of the
Late Prof. Charlton. Two Other
Gases.

Judge Goodsell had very sad
case Of insanity in his court last
Monday, when Miss Winifred Charl-
ton or Brodhead was committed to
Mendoza for treatment
Miss Charlton had just arrived at
Platteville, where she was guest
at the home of Mrs. Buck, and eX-
pected to attend the wedding of Miss
Buck the following day. While at
supper, without any warning, her
mind failed and she has been entire
ly demented ever since.
The cause of the serious condition
is ascribed to overwOrk in the school
room. Her nervous system was in
a bad condition, and the failure of
her mind was an expression of the
trouble. Her many friends have
strong hopes that the treatment at
Madison will restore her mind.
Miss Charlton is a daughter of the
late Prof. Charlton, formerly presl-
dent of the Platteville normal school
and well remembered in Wisconsin
educational circles.
John L. Weaks, an old resident OF
Montfort, was committed to Mendo-
ia last week on the recommendation
of Drs. Hitchcock and Van Dusen.
He was 76 years of age and his mild
had been clouded for some time.
Stephen Jeskoa, committed to the
county jail by Judge jenkins OF
Bagley, for vagrancy, a couple OF
weeks ago, was found to be insane,
and Sheriff Dickinson took him to
Mendoza hospital last week.
