On the evening of the fire Henry
and Oscar Tillisch drove down from
their fathers, after dark, and the
father claims to have followed them
on foot. They reached the place,
had barely unhitched the team and
were just about to water them when
they saw flames bursting out of a
small hole in the hog barn. Look
ing in that direction they, all three,
claim to have plainly and distinctly
seen the defendant standing squarely
between them and the fire. They
then chased him, but he outran
them and they turned to rescue the
large number of hogs kept in the
barn, the defendant shouting and
laughing at them, all three recog-
nizing his voice If their story is
true the defendant seemed anxious
that they should know who it was
that was burning the building. They
talked matters over and concluded,
Trasvig being an ex-son-in-law of
Jacob, to say nothing about it and
they made no complaint to the
authorities. AS far as known none
of the property destroyed was in
sured.
For short time the annoyances
ceased and then began again and
were of about the same nature as
before. Guns were fired, shouting
and hooking laughter was heard.
During the entire time the Tillisches
never called anyone to their assist
ance to run down the deperadoes.
although they were in the habit of
coming about dusk with lanterns. so
that they were seen sometimes two
miles as they approached the build
ings where the boys slept, putting
out the lanterns as they came near
and then beginning the disturbances.
At times they climbed trees and
threw cylinder teeth or rocks at the
family as they were chasing them
around. At one time they fired a
shot SO close that it went through
the coat tail of Henry Tillisch. At
another, when they were flying in a
rickety buggy with which they fire.
quently came, and which had so
unusual rattle that the Tillisches
would hear it a considerable dis

lance, Henry got SO close to the
outlaws that the small man halted
him with a leveled revolver and held
him at bay until the squeaking
buggy had escaped. At another
time when Henry was about to feed
his team man, with voice like the
defendants, told him if he wanted
blood he could get it up in the loft"
whence the voice came and that he
went for his brothers close by but
the voice escaped, and Tresvig with
it. Often they were there when
Jacob Tillisch says it was unfit for
dog to be out" but although there
are several of the Tillisches the
bandits would escape in the dense
shadows of cottonwood, box elder
and plum grove aboutsst the house.
This trouble kept up until October,
1905, when first a barn and then a
granary with quite a large amount
of grain was burned, supposedly by
the same persons. Not then salts
fed, although the sheriff was trying
to locate the guilty parties, they
came a few times more and then
stopped, vending their lantern light
ed course through the ystreets of
Johnsonville toward ,theT Tillisch
place.
Although these parties have thus
kept up a Disturbance for over a
year, and Jacksonville is thickly
settled, it is significant that not one
of the neighbors has ever seen the
lanterns or heard the rickety buggy
None of the neighbors have ever
helped to chase the desperadoes, and
in fact the Tillisches have never
seemed to make any inquiry of their
neighbors so as to track the squeaky
buggy. There is no more law abid-
ing community in Redwood county
than is this particular neighborhood
but the people there have seemed
quite Indifferent to the sufferings of
this family.
Trasvig appears to be a quiet,
peaceable sort of fellow and bears
that reputation among those who
know him. At the hearing he testi-
fled that during the entire month of
December, 1904, he was working

TRASVIG DISCHARGED.
Marvellous and Sensational Evidence of
TiIisch Family Fails to Hold
Man Accused of Arson.
County Attorney Howard Attained OBJ
jeCt of Getting Sworn Stories
of Trdsvig's ACCusers.

The Trasvig arson case attracted
quite bit of interest in the munich
pal court last Wednesday. Our
readers will remember that Jacob
Tillisch and his sons have presented
claims for losses by fires to the
the Farmers Mutual Insurance COM
pany of this county.
The facts, as gathered from the
examination and elsewhere, are as
follows: In Dec. '04, a fire burned
hog barn and, it is claimed, ten
hogs on the Fred. Tillisch place in
Johnsonville. This farm is half a
mile from the house of Jacob Til
lisch and is not occupied except by
the Tillisch boys, or young men, as
sleeping quarters, and the barns are,
or were, used to keep their horses.
Before the fire the Tillisches claim
they had been the objects of a con-
tinued persecution by unknown per-
sons or person; that rocks had
been thrown at them and their build
ings very often at night; that un-
known persons kept entering the barn
and house during their absence,
playing petty and foolish pranks;
that when thew uyoro II, +ho h,,;l1;porc
stones and other missiles would be
thrown into the building and espe-
ciaily the house, the person opening
the windows while they were in the
room and hurting good-sized stones
into the room. They would hear
shouts and jeering laughter around
the place and shots would be fired
and this was very frequent occur
renee.

quietly in Dawson County, S. D.,
and in this he was corroborated by
several other witnesses, including
the man for whom he was working
and who testified that the defendant
was at his place every night during
the entire month and was not away
any whole day during that time.
The defendant showed conclusively
by several witnesses that he could
not have set the October, 1905, fires
and that he was not the party who
invited Henry to bloody conflict in
the loft on the Tillisch farm. In
short, if rocks, cylinder teeth, shot
guns and jeering laughter disturbed
the Tillisch repose other parties
furnished the entertainment.
On the whole evidence Judge
Laudon held that there was not
sufficient evidence to warrant bind
ing the defendant to the grand jury
and released him. This action does
not prevent the case from being
investigated before the grand jury.
To THE GAZETTE it seems almost
positive that Trasvig had no hand in
the fires, and, as far as known, there
is no clue pointing to anyone else as
thus desiring to injure the Tillisch
family. Part of the property burned
was not insured and the other, we
are informed, was not insured to the
value of the loss incurred. There is
a mystery about the case which may
never be wholly solved.

Even If that be a crime, 1t is not al

rimonial connections were once about
made, when envious and meddlesome
neighbors started the story that he
was a grouchy old bachelor and ate
dog.
The only foundation for the story
was the missing of fat dog In the
neighborhood and for revenge some
one started the dog-eating story on
the old bachelor. There was absolute.

The $500 stolen last week was kept

it could be felt with a hay fork. The

the purse. When he returned it was
gone. Someone had entered and dug

COLORED PREACHERS WOES.
REV" Swackhammer Meets Warm
Reception I'm North Yakima,

The following dispatch from North
Yakima gives an illustration of the
experiences enjoyed by REV"
Swackhammer, an itinerant colored
minister who was in Pendleton few
months ago on a lecturing tour:
The dispatch says:
Rev. Mr.. Swackhammer, colored,
made complaint to the officers that
as he was commencing his celebrated
lecture on THE Philippines" last
night at house in the Naches valley,
the audience, which was mostly COM
posed OF laborers on the North Yak
ina & Valley railroad, instead of re-
ceiving his oratorical efforts with ap-
plause, received him with overripe
eggs and decayed vegetables and other
unsavory articles.
The lecturer says that he did not
care so much for the ancient eggs
and vegetables, for he has met with
this kind of reception before. but
what he did object to and what
forced him to lodge complaint was
that during the lecture some one in
the audience heaved a rock in his
direction, which struck him with
great force and violence as he was
Withdrawing from the rostrum. As
evidence of the assault he carries
the very rock" in his pocket, and upon
this evidence is willing to submit his
case.
Rev. Mr.. Swackhammer SAYS that
when his audience finally became too
demonstrative he was forced to flee to
escape being overwhelmed. He sought
refuge in an clubhouse and locked
himself in. He states that the build
ing was bombarded by the Jealous
members of his audience, but the door
remained firm. After remaining
some time under cover the lecturer
sought refuge I'm flight. He says that
he has experienced his share of the
strenuous life in this section of the
country and will go to st. Louis, Chi
cago and Pittsburg and other large
eastern cities where his mastery lee
ture will be appreciated.
We know some men whose lives are
continual apologies for living.
