Mutter Shooting Case is Settled Out
Of Court by the Payment OF a
Large Sum OF Money.
NO OPPOSITION MADE TO DIVORCE
John Mutter Is Said to Have Agreed to Pay
His wife $4,000 and to Give Her the
Homestead in Town of Bristol.

It is reported on good authority to
day that settlement has been reached
between Mr.. and Mrs. John Mutter,
who were the principals IN a shooting
scrape in the town of Bristol on the
morning Of May %, and as result Of
the settlement Mutter will not be ar
rested and prosecuted for his attempt
on the life of his wife. Mrs. Mutter
will also profit by the arrangement as
she will receive balm for her wound in
the way of cash to the extent of $500
and homestead in the village of
Bristol. For some time the settlement
has been pending and it has been rati-
fed by both parties and will be mat
ter of record as soon as Judge E. B.
Be1den returns from his summer vaca-
ton.
1t will be remem bered that on the
morning of May % Mr.. and Mrs. Nut
ter, who are we'll known residents of
the town Of Bristol, became involved
is family quarrel. During the ex-
element of the quarrel the husband,
who is more than eighty years Of age,
pulled revolver from his pocket and
fired on the woman. The bullet took
effect in the back of Mrs. Mutter's
neck causing a slight flesh wound.
The husband at once came to Kenosha
and prepared to give himself up to the
authorities but no attempt to arrest
him was ever made and he has since
remained in the city as the guest Of his
daughters.
Shortly after the shooting Mrs. Nut
ter began an action for divorce on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The shooting scrape formed
the chief reason for the suit. AS it
was desired to save the old man from
standing trial it was proposed to settle
the matter out of court. Propositions
we're made by both attorneys and the
agreement reached was in the form of
a compromise. Added to the payment
made by the husband he has agreed
not to contest the suit brought for di-
vorce and the sum paid will be re-
garded as permanent alimony.
AS the property in Bristol which is
given to the wife is valued at fifteen
hundred dollars the total amount of
the settlement will be in the excess of
seven thousand dollars.
Mutter was one Of the wealthiest resi-
dents in the town of Bristol and in the
schedule of his property filed with the
complaint in the divorce suit it was
stated that he was worth in the neigh
borhood Of twenty-five thousand dol
lars. In her suit the wife had asked
for an equal division of the property.

HAVOC AT THE DEPOT
A Freight Train With an Extended Bridge
Plank Tears up Fences

A Freight Train With an Extended Bridge
Plank Tears up Fences
There was an exciting time at the
station of the Northwestern railway
Thursday night when freight
train dashed through the city tearing
up the fences guarding the tracks and
sending rain of sp1inters and broken
lumber all over the platform. The
platform was crowded with people at
the time and many narrow escapes
are reported.
It seems that bridge plank had
been left protruding from door of a
box car, and when the train reached
the fence near the corner of Pearl
street the board struck the fence.
Great sections of the fence were torn
out and hurled into the air, the boards
and sp1inters falling on the crowded
platform. Several people were struck
by the flying missiles, but no one was
seriously hurt.
When the freight train had passsd
the station the fences looked as if they
had been struck by Kansas cyclone,
and force of men will be kept busy
for several days repairing the damage
done.

THE county has Irregular commits
sioners whose duty it is to see that
noxious weeds are destroyed, but who
is to look after the insect pest that is
destroying the shade trees? On From all
over the state come reports of the
ravages of the pest and nearly every
city in the state is threatened with the
loss of it's shade trees. The matter is
a serious one for Kenosha. The
beauty of the trees IwhichI1line the
streets is her chief charm and it is
difficult to imagine how the city would
look with all the trees denuded of their
foliage. The scientists differ as to
whether or not the injury done the
trees by the pests will be permanent.
Some contend that the trees will be
killed outright; others that they will
lose their foliage for a season or two
and in time recover. If the.former are
right and the trees die inca1culab BILE
damage will be done and it does not
seem at all necessary to run the risk of
such calamity, for it would be moth
ing less than calamity for Kenosha
tolose the trees. If large percentage
of the trees in the city are not to be
either killed or badly injured it is time
to inaugurate tree cleaning,campaign
on large scale. Thespest hasFgotten
such start that no half way measures
will do. Some of the property owners
have attempted to get rid off the pests
on their own trees but their efforts
have been of little avail because their
neighbors trees were not cleaned at the
same time. A stream Eof coldgwater
played on the under side of the limbs
is the most effective remedy and every
property owner should see.toi it that his
trees are cleaned within the next week
or ten days.

WE in Wisconsin we'll know what
sort of creature the reformer is. He
has been of us and with us for some
little time now, and we have had ample
opportunity to study him. And it can
not be said that the more we see of him
the more we admire him, for we are
even now getting tired of him, and
there are more than surface indica-

MILWAUKEE now heads the list of
lake ports. in the matter of tonnage,
due to her unsurpassed harbor accom-
modations. The city is fortunate in
being so situated that the harbor ia
ci1ities can be made the best on the
lakes at comparatively trifing ex-
pense, and with Chicago out of the
race on account of her tunnels, it will
be Mi1waukee's own fault if she ever
again loses her place as the first ship
