A FEW PASSING EVENTS.
What the Officers Have Done the Past Few Days to
Busy Themselves

The sheriff and deputies have been
kept busy since circuit court first con-
vened in railroading criminals to Wau-
pun, and it was supposed that there
would be let-up in the work after the
criminal calendar had been cleared up,
but the events of the past few days have
made it appear otherwise.
MUENCHow-HEINRICH
We made mention last week of the
arrest of Gust. Muenchow and Herman
Heinrich for the BURGLARY committed
in Livingston's store one night last
May. Late that same afternoon they
plead guilty before Judge Silverthorn
and were sentenced each to serve three
years at hard labor in the state prison.
They were taken on the early train
Wednesday morning by Sheriff Mar
quardt and Henry Belize, deputy
sheriff
FRANK O'HARE.
Some two months ago Ed Lemke,
the Washington street wagon maker,
bought of an agent a device for the cut
ting off of the ends of axis by which
operation the rattle is taken out of
wheel and the wear on the axil lessened.
The machine is a small affair, costing
Sl5, and can easily be carried about.
On Feb. 22d Ed. missed the machine
from his shop and Immediately began
doing little Hawkshaw work in try
ing to locate it. Last Friday after
noon he learned that Frank O'Hare,
character about town, who for years
has made the saloons and livery stables
his hang-out, had such a machine in
his possession and was then engaged
in cutting off some axis back of AL
then's store. Ed. went to the place
mentioned, recognized his machine,
accused O'Hare of the theft, and started
arrest. While he was gone the latter
buried the machine in manure pile
where it was afterwards found,
and skipped out. He was later found
at one of the livery stables and arrest
ed. Saturday morning he appeared
before Judge Miller, who postponed the
examination until the 10th, placing the
defendant under 800 bonds for his APP
pearance. He was left temporily in
the sheriff's office and while. Henry
Belize, deputy, went into another room
in the court house OHare raised the
window and jumped to the ground
below and escaped. He can be easily
caught for he is fellow that can be
readily recognized by any officer, for
he has but one hand. 1t is a question
whether an effort will be made to
locate him for the officers consider it
a riddance of bad rubbish.
LEO sULL
Leo Sull, a young lad living on Scott
street, was arrested for theft Saturday
morning. The members of Co. G missed
a gun from their army, and having
seen young Sull hanging about the
place, and knowing that he was pref
ty tough boy, he was suspected
When arrested the gun was found, aud
he did not deny having taken it. He
was brought before Judge Miller that
Same day and was committed the state
industrial school for boys at Waukes-
ha. The boy is now fifteen years of age
aud has been a source of trouble to his
parents for a number of years.
JAS. KENNEDY.
Jas. Kennedy, resident of this city,
was found on Friday to be acting in a
way not in conforming with the doing
of a man with sound brain, and he
was arrested and examined by Drs
Spencer and Rosenberg, who pro-
nounced him insane. He was taken to
Oshkosh Saturday by undersheriff VIII
Chellis. Kennedy for time past lived
at the poor farm but recently came to
town to take treatment at the Riverside
hospital for an ulcerous sore on his leg
with which he has been afflicted for
years. In remorseful state of mind,
which terminated in insanity, he the
day before attempted to take his life
He slipped away from the nurse and
secured bottle of medicine marked
poison" Laundanum was the only
poisonous ingredient, and, when dis
covered with it, he had not swallowed
enough of it to do himself harm.
BIG INJUN ME-
Two of the local butchers made COM
plant Friday that their slaughter houses
east of town had been entered by a
small band of Indians, and a number of
hides taken. The officers accompanied
by the butchers, tracked the Indians to
the railroad track, which they followed
to the south side of the Eau Claire river
where the tracks led off into the woods.
Following them still further they came
across an Indian tepee from which,
answering the officers can, there
stepped forth noble redman with the
welcoming word of How" A search
of the tepee failed to reveal any hides,
but outside, covered over with some
marsh hay, was part of pig and an OK
head The Indian denied having
stolen any hides but admitted taking
the pork and OK head. AS the pig was
one that had died and was thrown out
in the yard with the offal, the butchers
importuned the officers to GO no farther,
and thus the aborigine was left to enjoy
the comforts of home with his squaw
and papoose.
