A CASE OF SUICIDE
Flower Hunters Make a
CHASTITY Find.
Chas. Spore of Vincennes Ind. Stops
off Here and Closes His Earthly
Stdy With a Pistol Ball.

While cut gathering flowers IN
Hartwig's woods at the edge of the
Fifth ward Saturday afternoon, little
Iris Jones and Hasel Eberle discovered
a sight which threw a damper on the
pleasures of flower hunting. Coming
to a large patch of tangled underbrush
they saw the dead body of man,
and becoming badly frightened, ran
away. They met Chas. Bruegger and
told him of their ghastly lind. he
went and marked the spot and came
down town and notified the police
Headquarters. Justice Stacy was sum-
moned and Immediately impaneled
coroner's jury. The body was at once
removed to the morgue, but not with
out great difficulty as it was dark and
the underground was very heavy.
~ At the morgue $67 in money was
found on the mans person and bills OF
lading identifying him as Charles Spore
of Vincennes, Ind :, in charge of car
of household goods and containing four
horses. The gooGs were consigned to
l.. D. Spore of Aberdeen, S. ID. The
EMPLOYEES at the ST. Paul depot say
that spore came through here on a
freight train May 1st. The train crew
did not discover that he was
missing until a terminal point was
reached. Telegrams were at once
sent out but to no effect.
Judging from the condition OF the
body it was thought the man must
have been dead for week. The body
was in sitting position in the mos
dense portion of the woods with bull
let hole back of the left ear. A
loaded revolver, with one chamber
empty lay beside him and every thing
points to case of suicide.
Information from Vincennes, Ind,
diyulged the fact that Spore had re
Gently sold his farm near there and de-
parted for South Dakota. A dispatch
from the mans brother at Aberdeen
asking for full description was re-
ceived. His brother, L. D. Spore o.
Aberdeen, later rotihed Chief Block
of this city, that he was on his way
here to see to the burial of the body.
A coroner,s inquest was held before
Justice Stacy Monday morning and
verdict of suicide returned. No mo-
tive for the act is known, but it is al
together probabafe that he became de
mented on the iourner and wandered
of while the train was standing at th'
station here

Farmer Erects SiIo

F. F. Zastrow. is having a silo
built on his farm about miles north
of the city. 1t will be completed
some time during the summer so as to
be ready to store away the ensllage
next fall. This is one of the first silos
built in this vicinity, and, should it
prove success to Mr.. Zastrow, there
will be no doubt but what many of his
neighbors will erect one before anotn-
er season is over.
This method of feeding has been ap-
piled in countries where farmers have
large herds of cattle. especially during
the winter months; there is no better
feed to keep up the flow of milk. 1t
has always given satisfaction and
there is no reason why it should not
do likewise among the farmers OF
Watertown.

A SPECIAL SESSION
Of WatertoWn's Com
mon Council
Was Held Last Monday Evening for
the Purpose OF Discussing Street
Paving and Lighting.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held last Monday evening.
Aid, Kessler, Blair and Friedrich were
absent.
The question of letting the paving
contract was discussed and it was
finally decided not to take any action
until the work of the lowest bidder ip
other places is investigated The next
highest bidder to j. A Heineman of
Chicago is E. L. Bartlett of this city,
The city attorney stated that Heine-
mans bonds were frst-class and Aid i.
Radtke thought the contract should be
let and the contractor be made to do
the work according to the plans. Aid.
Mulburger and Engineer Stanchfield
were Informally authorized to investi-
gate the lowest bidders work in Be-
lott and Rockford.
report from the judiciary and
sire cts and bridges committee with re-
gard to gas lighting was made and it
was stated that the gas company,
which had previously asked for fran
ohise which was granted was not sat-
isfed with the price and it came out in
the arguments that an employe re-
celvlng $35 per month had quit the
service of nhe gas company and it
would cost $40 more month to hire a
new man. In place OF the contract
price of $50 lamp per year they now
want $24. An amended ordinance was
introduced granting a franchise with
out any contract, but Mayor Brusen-
bach pointed out the danger of such
a proceeding and it was decided to let
the matter rest as the gas company
has until Thursday to accept the origi-
nal ordinance. Aid. Davies believed
it unwise to give franchise without
contract, but thought the time of the
old ordinance could be extended until
an agreement was reached. The
whole matter, however, was dropped
and no action taken. Aid Prentiss
stated that the gas company would
furnish light at the rate agreed upon
providing the city would furnish them
a man at $35 per month.
The committee on public buildings
was instructed to investigate the nee
esity of lighting the morgue and see
what was best to be done.

Returned From thu Pacific Coast

After having spent sojourn of four
months in California and other western
cities Mr.. and Mrs. David Hildeman
and daughter Laura and Miss Emma
letzlatf returned to our city last Thurs
day noon to again take up housekeep-
ing in their home on the West road.
They left here on January 1st of the
present year in hopes to benefit Mrs.
Hildemann's health and their outing
in the West during these months has
been much in her favor as she re-
turned healthy and hearty and so did
the remainder of the party.
On departing from our city last
winter when everything was frozen up
and the ground covered with snow
they reached California in the midst
of seeding time, with all the flowers
and trees in blossom and while the
farmers here are fitting their corn
ground they are harvesting in the far
West. Mr.. Hildemann reports that
he was well pleased and enjoyed his
trip very much, but at present prefers
Watertown and her environments to
California.
Miss Tetzlaf brought with her some
fne roses and other sweet flowers
which she gathered last Sunday, also
some relics and numerous other curl
Gus things.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hildemann are again
domiciled in their home on the West
road.

The belle of Bongoa was a slave
girl of 10, SO graceful and 1.-THE that
her every attitude suggested bird
just aHghted from a fight through
space. Her dark eyes were fringed by
the longest of black lashes, and even
her stained teeth could not detract
from the curves of her pretty mouth.
She had self-satisfied consciousness
Of her own attractions, and was as i'm
perious and overbearing as any Amer
lean beauty, stamping her tiny foot in
rage at the photographers lack of
haste in taking her picture, and once
walking away from the camera with a
disdainful toss of her head. When,
after much persuasion, she was in
duced to return, It was only to scowl
sullenly at everybody with the most
bewitching i'll temper, poised SO
lightly that the very wind seemed to
sway her slender figure back and
forth like a flower on it's stalk.-From
Tales of Tawi Tawi in Everybody's
Magazine.
