SAYS FLORIN KRAL
WAS MURDER VICTIM
Austrian Noble Who Resided at La
Crosse Is Alleged to Have Been
Foully Slain.

La Crosse. Wis, Aug, 22.-[ Special. i
Investigations, about completed, into the
death Of Florin Kral, the Austrian noble
killed here few nights ago, leave no
doubt in the mind Of Special Admins
traitor Hickisch that his death was due
to cold-blooded murder. He has made
formal demand on the police to investi-
gate.
Saturday all the banks were visited
and not one of his bonds or securities
were found. His pocket book, which
contained a few hundred dollars on the
evening before his death. has not been
located and several articles Of jewelry
have also disappeared.
Several physicians We're called to exam
inc the wounds on the body and they all
give verdict that Kral came to his
death by blows and advance the theory
that the bruises on his body could not
have been made by the cars, but that he
was probably sandbagged and placed on
the tracks so that the limited might run
over him and destroy the evidences of
the crime. The Burlington engineer and
fireman did not see him before he was
struck, another fact that seems to indi-
cate that he was laid dead on the tracks.

Skill Gives Him Trophy

Graham Is to Retire from
Office

Appleton, Wis, Aug. 22.-[SpeciaL i
The Fortrie medal, which was won by
Color Sergt. r. L. Schlick of the First
regiment last week at Camp Douglas, is
the most historic medal connected with
the Wisconsin National guard in many
respects. For sixteen years it has been
shot for and while it has on two different
occasions been won twice by different
competitors, no one has ever been able
to secure it the third time so as to retain
it permanently until Schlick accom-
plished the act last week, he having pre-
viously won it in 1901 and 1908. The
medal is the most valuable OF any in the
state, the price placed upon it varying
from $500 to SSC3
During the time Gen. Zwietusch was
quarter master general the medal was
stolen and was found in a pawnshop in
Detroit after being lost for seyeral
months. To replace it a duplicate was
made from a rough pattern which was
drawn from memory. After the Fortrie
was recovered, the new medal was cut
in two and the Badger and Wisconsin,
the medals now used for prizes for the
best aggregate scores at 200 and 500
yards and 800 and 600 yards respectively
were made from it.
With the retirement of this historic
medal from competition is expected the
retirement of Col. George Graham from
the office of inspector of small arms
practice. When Col. Graham leaves the
service on account of old age and fail
ing health he will leave with the regret
of every rif1eman in the Wisconsin guard.
