Killed With a Stick of Wood.

Frederick Marker, who lives two and
a half miles east of Henderson, died on
Tuesday morning as the result of blow
struck with club on Saturday night.
The man who welded the club, and
who is under arrest charged with the
killing, is Francis Teal, of West Haven.
With two companions, Marker, under
the influence of liquor, went to Teals
home Saturday night at nine o'clock,
and submitted the old man to system
of petty teasing. In an access of rage
brought on by the persecution, Teal
suddenly produced heavy stick about
four feet long and struck Marker a
terrific blow on the left forehead, fell
ing him.
Marker was taken home and Drs.
Bruce, of Easton, Eldred, of Chesaning
and Arnold, of Owosso, were called
They decided on trephining as the
crushed bone pressed heavily on the
brain, but Marker failed to rally, and
sank from unconsciousness to death.
Teal was arrested on Tuesday evening

Marker was 22years of age, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Marker. 1t is said
that he had often bothered the old man

Haven since 1866, and has been alone in
his dreary hut for IS years. He is a
wagon maker by trade. Two of his
children, Felix Teal, of Corunna, and
Mrs. Eugene Burgess, of Owosso, are
well known here.
The old man has crippled foot,

five feet in height. Sympathy is with
him in the affair, especially among
those who know how he has been an
noyed.

NH W@tG0tUS NtSta0fs
The family was getting just a little
tired OF her. for she came so often and
stayed so long, and was so old and so
deaf that every one had to shout loud
ly.
AT last the father in desperation
planned to go into a sudden fit of tenn

caller in the hope of convincing her
that they were not pleasant people to
visit.
Accordingly, one evening, when he
returned from business and found tile
old lady present as usual, he began TO
talk loudly and in an irritated voice.
Then growing more excited, he
stamped about the room. growing more
excited, and finally ended by going out
and banging the door after him.
The visitor sat quietly during the
turmoil. and when the husband was
gone she turned to the wife and said
consolingly:

SHOCK.

Minneapolis, Sept. Josephine Os-
borne, fifteen years of age and living
with her parents at sol Eleventh
street southeast, was the victim of a
brutal and daring assault about 1880
last evening.
The girl started from her home to
go TO the theater and was walking rap
idly along when she saw two men
emerge from a lumber yard. They
overlook her and one of them grabbed
her purse, containing a small sum of
money.
She tried to cry out and the other
man threw the contents of a bottle of
chloroform in her face. The girl was
rendered unconscious and she was
dragged to a box car standing on the
tracks near Second avenue southeast
and Eighth streets.
The men threw her into the car and
assaulted her. She was badly cut and
her clothing was nearly torn from her.
The men left her unconscious.
A short time after she regained con-
seriousness and after failing to walk
several times, she managed to reach
her home,
Painting On the Doorstep.
After some time she recovered suf-
fciently to tell the story. According
to the girl it was still light when the
men accosted her. She saw them
plainly and was able to give a fairy
accurate description of both her as
sailants.
She says the men followed her only
a short distance and that neither spoke
a word. When her purse was snatched
she screamed and then the chloroform
was thrown in Their face.
She struggled with the men and sus-
tanned severe injuries. A physician
who vas called in stated late last
night that the girl was in a very seri-
Gus condition. Besides the cuts and
bruises she received at the hands of
the brutes she sustained a severe
shock.
The police were put to work at once
on the case and later in the evening
claimed to have a clue to the men.
