Around the Daniels house there has
for some time hung strange stories. In
Omro it has been known as the Braunt
house. Last winter old man Braunt
died. His son, Percy, who lisa checker
player of renown, naturally left the
place after his father died, and since
then the house has been unOccupied.
The Braunt house is in rather lone
ly spot; place one might regard as a
natural location for a murder Resi-
dents of Omro lean strongly to the
theory of murder.
This little town has what might be
called a transient population. Many
men come and go to work in sawmill,
and little is known of them. 1t is be-
lieved that in their ranks foul play has
been committed, and that the hand
found in the old Braunt house was SIM
ply thrown there as a "bum steer"
The dog is being denied food with
the hope that when he is let loose he
will go to the spot where he found the
human arm There the officers feel the
rest of the body will be found.

The British made an attack OF the
Notifications, June %, 1913, with 40Oo
men. After a desperate fight they
were repulsed with a loss of 200 men
killed. Again the Virginians lost not
single man.
The third bloodless battle, so far as
it related to the Virginians, was fought
on the site of the jamestown exposi-
ton grounds, May 10, 1861. 1t is known
as the battle of Sewel's Point. The
Confederate works erected there We're
attacked by two Federal vessels of war

Norfolk spirit.

ORMO, Wis, Sept. 13.-Ormo, ten

Thompson pharmacy saw a dog rum

several weeks.
This startling discovery spread rap
idly in Omro, but so complete was the
mystery that little systematic work was
done until a few days later, when Dr.
Danielus reported another sensational
discovery which added to the theory of
murder. In a dark closet of a house
which he bought some time ago and
which was being repaired, workmen
discovered a human hand and forearm
in a paper sack. This thoroughly
aroused Omro and now outside officers
are conducting a search, bit to date
no clues have been developed which are
