Chas. Kessner, who has been in Jail
for several months, was released on bail
early last week. He is charged with
shooting at the Treu family while the
latter were returning from the city to
their home in the town of Stettin one
day last winter. The affair happened
near the old j. M. Smith farm.
A committee of the Fond du Lac
county board, composed of Messrs E.
p. WOrthipg, w. w. Breister and f. S.
Chandler visited the city last week and
inspected the books of our county
officers and public institutions. They
were sent here to inspect our system of
bookkeeping, with a view of making
recommendations to the county board
of Fond du Lac county which has no es-
tablished system and in consequence
some of the county officers have got their
books muddled up. The gentlemen
while here were assisted by g. ID. Bartz,
who established the system in use by
our officers.
Co. G returned home Friday evening
from Camp Douglas after week spent
on the states military reservation.
The boys report that aside from few
days of excessive heat and bountiful
supply of mosquitoes, they, had an ex-
cellent time. At rapid and volley fir
ing the company made the highest
score of the regiment, but strange to
say none of our boys got places on the
regimental rifle time which will COM
pete with other teams in August.
When the regimental teams shoot next
month the ones making the highest
scores will be picked out for team to
represent Wisconsin at the national
contest to be held liz Seagirt in the fall.
Workmen employed by the city found
curious obstruction in one of the
sewer pipes last week Complaint had
been made by property holders on
Eighth street that the sewer along that
street was plugged up and was backing
water. Accordingly a crew of men
was set to work and removed the dirt
covering the pipe for a section of a
block, Each piece of pipe was taken
up but nothing could be found until a
point near the intersection of Franklin
street was reached, when it was discov-
cred that the root of a tree had worked
its way through the pipe and had grown
to such proportions that the pipe was
almost closed up. 1t seems incredible
that the tibrous root of tree could
worm its way through cement pipe,
but it did
Nose Hubbard, of the town of Emmett
had his examination set for Wednesday
on charge of burglary However, on
Saturday he was discharged at the re-
quest of the district attorney. He was
arrested at the instance of Edward
Fitzgerald, also of that. town, who
claimed that while all the members of
his family. except his aged mother,
were absent from home on the night of
July 4th, someone entered his house.
The intruder demanded money of
Fitzgerald's mother and when none
was forthcoming he beat and choked
her. From her description of the man
Fitzgerald had reason to believe that
Hubbard was the one who entered his
house. But later Mrs Fitzgerald,
when she saw Hubbard, stated that he
was not the man and the latter also
proved an alibi.
As the weeks pass, it becomes quite
evident that many of our citizens will
lose their handsome shade trees. This
is due to the fact that in trying to ar
rest the work of the oottony scale last
season, many people used raw kero-
Sene, instead of an emulsion of kero-
Sene, soap and water. There was once
young man who desired to go to a
dance, but he was troubled with bad
cough. He purchased bottle of cough
medicine and the first night emptied
the contents of the bottle, that he might
be curek by the next evening when the
dance was TO take place, thinking that
if little cough medicine was good a
large quantity would do the work more
rapidly. That young man, needless to
say, did not go to the dance, nor has he
ever had use for cough medicine since.
The daisies are now growing DER his
grave. That boys logic was applied
by some of our people in treating their
trees last summer
