After long illness extending over
nearly year, Samuel B Clemens passed
peacefully away at his home, LOT Corne-
liza street. shortly after o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. Though he had been
critically i'll for the past two weeks, the
news Of his death came as shock even
to his most immediate friends.
State Veterinary Roberts has left for
the northern part of the state, where he
has been notified of several cases Of what
are probably hydrophobia. Three cattle
have died on a farm near Neerah. The
dead cattle have been eaten by dogs and
it is feared that many more have been
stricken.
The total number of hunting licenses
issued from the county clerks Office for
each of the two years just past shows a
large increase over the previous years.
At the close of the season of 1901 Clerk
Stars record shows that 1925 licenses
were issued to Rock county nimrods
and in the period allowed for hunting
following 1850 sportsmen paid out their
hard earned dollars for permission to
hunt the fabitues of forest and meadow.
The number OF permits taken out so far
this year show that the season of 1903
will probably far outnumber previous
records, as 1851 men have already shown
their intention to take to the woods.
So FAR, four women have signiied their
intention Of becoming nifty nimrods and
have already taken out the required per-
mission. These were Anna Inman and
Ada Bauer. of GAINESVILLE, and Hettie
Conway of Edgerton, and Vina Douner
Of Milton junction.
Saturday evening at 6 o'clock Samuel
D Archer of this city was found uncon-
scious in the gutter at the corner Of
Clark and South Main streets. A call
was sent in for Russell's ambulance and
Mr. Archer was removed to his home, No
5 Dixon street. At the time Archer was
found his bicycle was near and the sup
position is that he might have fallen off
and struck his head on a rock, as deep
cut was on his scalp.
Saturday morning Henry Breitkeitz
was seriously injured and barely saved
from a terrible death by being badly
gored by maddened bull, on his farm
southeast of this city near Shopiere DR.
Verdue Gregory of this city was called
and found Breitkeitz suffering from a
fractured hip besides being badly bruis-
ed and cut about the body. Breitkeitz
was leading young bull to water when
suddenly the animal made wild run at
his keeper, knocking him down. then
the maddened animal started to kill his
victim. Before Breitkeitz could regain
his feet the bull was upon him getting
in his deadly work with his feet and
head Breitkeitz's son was attracted to
the scene and with pitchfork in hand
he made several stabs at the enraged
beast and soon had it's attention. Bruis-
ed and battered Breitkeitz managed to
make his way to place of safety. Had
not his son appeared he would urdoubt-
ealy have been killed
