COWARDLY ASSAULTS.
Two Young Fellows Attack lnoffensive
Citizens.
From Mondays Daily.

Chris Gynter, who has been employed
in o. w. Schmidt's harness shop for a
number of years, was the victim of a
cowardly assault last evening. He was
walking toward his home on Guenther
hill at about $3.50 o'clock, and when at
the corner Of Fourth and Elm streets he
saw three young men sitting there. As
he passed them he remarked that it was
a damp evening. One of the party re-
marked to Gynther that he looked like
a ebay seed. Another said that he had
a mind to stake poke" at him to see
him run. Gynter turned around and one
Of the party struck at him. He defended
himself with his umbrella, and another
of the party leaped upon him, and the
two assailants then got Gynter down and
of clay, bruising his head painfully.
The third member of the party stepped
up at this iuncture and told his com
panions that they had better leave Gym
Their alone. Gynther had used his lungs
to good effect, and Messrs. Wagner and
Roll appeared upon the scene, when the
three young men walked away.
An hour or so later, at the corner of
Front and Spring streets, the same par
ties stopped a prominent young business
man and assaulted him with their fists
without more excuse than they had had
for misusing Mr.. Gynter.
Gynther notified the police, but as the
parties were unknown, no arrests were
made last night. This forenoon, Officer
Klughertz did little detective work
and soon arrested Arthur Williams and
Wenzel Huettl. Mr.. Gynther signed a
complaint against them, charging assault
in the third degree, and they pleaded
guilty and were fined $l365 each, which
they paid. The other gentleman who
was assaulted concluded to enter no com
plant.
Williams and Huettl admitted that
they had obtained liquor yesterday out
of keg. Gynter is said to be an inof-
fensiye man.

HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.
OFFICERS GET AESTHETIC.
They Want to Start a Flower Bed
Near City Hall.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Dally.
The police officers, not to be outdone
by the fire station boys or the civic i'm
provement league, are talking of max
ing nice little flower bed on the vacant
lot just north of the city hall, if the con-
sent of the owner can be obtained. Of
ficer Bienapf states that the prettiest
city that he ever saw is Waukesha, Wis,
where every bit of waste ground in the
center of the city has been turned into
flower bed.
The little flower bed beside the cen
trail fire station is unusually pretty this
wear. The flowers are now in bloom and
the scene is very attractive, Capt Berry
has been asked to improve the plot laid
out in front of the Chicago & North
Western freight depot, but has not time
to attend to it. He has great deal OF
taste in such matters.

STEPPED IN MYSTERY
Coroner's Jury Says Charles Rhine
Committed Suicide, But Did He?
Three Children IN Room Did Not
Hear The Shots Fired.
From Saturdays Daily.


st. James, Mimi, July 24-The coro-
ner's jury in the inquest held over the
body of Charles Rhine, farmer, who
was found with the entire upper portion
OF his head blown off, at his home on the
Lamb farm, eight miles south of ST.
James, returned verdict late this after,
noon of suicide. The verdict is not salts
factory to the jury themselves, but in
view of the meager testimony brought
out, was the only course.
The position of the body when found
and the presence of particles of blood
and brains over the ceiling and on all the
walls tends to contradict the verdict
Three children of the deceased were
asleep in the same bed on which he was
sitting when shot, and were not awaken
Ell by the report of a shot. About two
o'clock one of the daughters awoke and
discovered her father lying on her feet.
She aroused the older sister, and the two
lighted match (they had neither kero-
sene or lamp in the housed and discover
ed the terrible sight. The children i'm
mediately ran to neighbours house, a
mile and a half distant, and reported
what they had seen.
The neighbors gave the alarm, and Cor
oner Rowe and Sheriff Forsyth were no.
titled
On the floor several feet in front of
the body was found piece of skull half
as large as a mans hand, while at his
back on the wall great amount of
blood, ETC., were deposited.
One peculiar thing in connection with
the tragedy is the entire absence of shot
in the Skull or any marks of them on the
walls. The victim is supposed to have
comefto his death by a shotgun charge,
and the gun leaned against, him when
found with one barrel discharged, but no
shot are to, be found. Everything con-
nected with the affair is very mysterious,
and is in good way to remain so.
