DIED PENNILESS.

Some time ago the Catholic priest at
Minocqua telegraphed the chief of
police here that Minnie Garske, who
claimed a residence in this city was
lying very i'll in hospitaIthere and
asked that her folks be notified Chief
Malone, after diligent inquiry, could
find no relative or any such named per-
son. Later the girl was removed to the
Rhinelander hospital where she died
Last week Frank Garesky, living at
McDill, Portage county, was in the city
on his way to Khinelander to enquire
into the death of he young woman,
thinking it might be sister who is
away from home. The result of his in
vestigation is here given in clipping
from the New North, published in that
city
A gentlemen, Garesky by name, re-
siding near Stevens Point, was here
last week looking up information in
regard to Minnie Garesky, whose
death occurred some three weeks ago
at the hospital. He had supposed the
deceased to be long lost sister, but
before leaving the city came to the con-
clusion that she was no relative.
Shortly before taken sick the girl had
Sl45 in her possession, but at the time of
her death was penniless. 1t is said that
her foster father lives near Merrill

cattle will die in great numbers. If on
Tuesday, women will die. ships be
wrecked, and kings and lords be.slain.
If on Wednesday, there will be hard
winter, with "hydeus wyndes," and a
merry summer, much rain, and many
deaths of the young. If on Friday,
there will be hard winter and an
early spring, a good summer, and who
ever is born on that day will live long,
but perhaps not exactly after the ten
commandments. If on Saturday, the
winter is to be dreaded, for sit shall

YfChristmas day on Therusday be
a wonder wynter ye should see,
OF wyndes and of weders wiske,
Tempestes exc many and thicke.
The somer shall be strong ant drye,
Corne and beasts shal mult'plye,
Their wher the land is good of tilth;
But kynges and lesdes shall dye by filth.
What chylde thet day eborne bee,
He shal no doubt right weel ethee

of speecheful wyse and reasonabylle.
But if -yckness tn t day thee feile,
