AN APPALLING TRAGEDY
II. G. Gilbert Proprietor of the Euclid Cafe
Fatally Shot by Arthur Sherman
Monday Morning.

One of TIE most heart rendins
tragC,es in the annals of this part OF
the city, occurred here Monday morn
my by the fatal shooting of II c. Gil
bert, by Arthur Sherman, IA had II
years Of age who had been lately ia
his employ.
I About 10 o'clock a IN Mr. Giihei I
WIS setting in Grim rud < Albert
sol's market looking over his az
count with George Albertson when
/ young Sherman walked to within q
/ few feet OF his victim and fired three
shots from - calibre revolver. Two
OF the shots struck Mr.. Gilbert one in
the head and the other in the should
er, and he expired in less than half an
! hour.
Sherman rushed out of the market,
and back into the alley towards his
home where he was Immediately cap
tured without resistance 10y Alderman
Kane and the revolver taken from
him. Officer Halberg Immediately ar.
rived aud Sherman was at once taken
to the Jail and locked up.
The shooting attracted large
crowd and the most intense eXtense
excitement prevailed M the slayer
and his victim We're both well known
and no cause could be assigned for
the rash deed.
Howard &. Gilbert had been resi-.
dent of this city for several years past
and was "a years of age and leaves a
wife to whom he was married about
three year ago. lie had been chef at
the Euclid for nearly two years past
which position he held until two

well in the community and was re

THE REASONS WHY
Northern Wisconsin has not Been Sooner
Settled and who Prevented it,

Of roads, the building OF school houses
and other improvements which would
raise the tax levy. If roads were
built at public expenses they would
be for the convenience of loggers
rather than that Of future settlers and
the scattered honest eaders might be
without good roads and schools for
many years.
II, fact many Of these after proving
up sold out for almost nothing, or
possibly left without waiting 10 prove
up, because they could not get good
roads or have nearby neigbors. This
feature of the situation would be a
draw back to any country 10 matter
how good the lands might be-
Another point may not have escap-
ed the far sighted vision Of the lum-
ber kings. II the lands had been sold
several years ago they would have
had to meet the competition OF the
cheap government and railroad lands.
They no doubt saw that land would
eventually rise in value and that they
would be in few short years able to
sell their lands for several times what
they could then have sold them for,
Now shat nearly all the timber lands
/ have been cut over and the various
companies have no further fear from
taxation OF the timber these lands are
now on the market.
/ From the lumber companies point
OF view these were wise moves TO
make and most OF their hopes have
/ been realized. But the time has ar
rived when the settlers will not be
discouraged from making use Of the
1 advantages Of tins country. These
companies no longer be little the cli.
/ matte conditions. the richness Of the
soil and the wealth Of pasturage for
which Northern Wisconsin will be-
come famous Spooner Register.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1903-09-05

The report, which probably origin
ated at the West End and published
in an evening paper, that the Euclid
Hotel was to be closed seems 10 be
very premature to say the least. AT
ter careful inquiry we learn that none
of the officers here know Of any such
decision having been arrived at, and
that the Land Company have not de-
termined IA TO the future policy of
the Euclid. One thing is certain. II
the house receives sufficient patron
age it will not be closed.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1903-09-05

The question IL asked again and
again why Northern Wisconsin has
not been sooner settled. We will try
briefly to give some of the reasons.
I'm the first place it has been gener-
ally believed by people further south
that this part OF the state would be
come worthless when the timber was
taken from it. This widespread be
lief and the fact that land was much
cheaper here only few ago were the
principal reasons for there being no
demands for the northern lands.
The second reason was the desire OF
the different lumber companies TO re-
tain possession Of their holdings, and
for this there may be two reasons:
BY retaining the lands even after they
had been cut over they could be made
the basis of loan from eastern cap
italists. for no matter If the compan
les were rich and powerful at times
they would have to borrow money in
order to carry out SOM ~ their gigan
tic undertakings and so these lands
were made the basis OF large loans.
The second reason was the desire
Of the lumber companies to control
the politics OF the parts OF the state
where they were located. The log
1 ging and lumber companies generally
I exercised control Of the men in then
] employ and they shaped the politics
/ OF the different communities. Those
not in the employ of the companies
4 were not encouraged to settle here
/ Many OF the companies would not even
I sell their lands at any price to pro.
spective settlers This prevented the
/ growth OF the farming communities
Merchants we're not encouraged tt

cau,e the company stores had contro

companies could prevent the opening

! this kind Is almost unaccountable
unless it could have been the act
of n monomaniac. We are inform
ed that his mother who died abont six
years ago, WAS insane mt times aud
was twice examined as to her sanity
aud once taken to an institution for
! treatment. II is claimed that she had
times when she had desire to kill, and
during these interval which would
last tor - hours or more close
watch was necessary to keep her
from injuring her children
After being taken to the Jail young
Sherman told Jailor Highland that
when he a oke Monday morning he
was possessed with a desire to "kill
| somebody" 1t was while in this state
OF mind that he was discharged and
accus ed of trying to secret in his room
some linen belonging to the hotel.
After leaving Mr.. Gilbert demon

desire to wreak vengence was evi
