The case mentioned in our last issue,
wherein Julius Wisniewski brought suit
to recover from r. A. Edgar, $500 bail
money advanced for the formers broth
er, Nick, was decided Wednesday by
Judge Silverthorn. Mr.. Edgar fur
nished affidavits to show that he had
paid the money to those who suffered
through Nick's forgeries. Judge
Silverthorn held that Mr.. Edgar's act,
while not strictly wrong, was i'll advised.
The order of the court directing the
clerk of the court to pay the money
over TO Mr.. Edgar, was in error and
was set aside; that the bail money he
longs to Julius Wisniewski, and that to
recover he must begin action against
Mr.. Edgar and those to whom the
money was paid.
Bertha Hussong, aged fourteen,
daughter of Chas. Hussong, was on
Thursday morning last committed to
the Home of the Good Shepherd, Mil
waukee The girls mother has been
dead several years, her father is absent
from the city much of the time and she
has been in the care of other relatives.
She developed waywardness which
caused her father last fall to make
application to have her committed to
the industrial school. Judge Miller
thought she might improve if placed in
a good family and Chief Malone offered
her place in his home She was well
behaved for short time, but for short
time only. Mr.. and Mrs. Malone could
do nothing with her and the above
action was deemed best.

ner-coils of pipe running from the
reservoir through the fire place of the
range When hot fire was built in
the stove the ice was partially thawed
and steam was generated which ex-
ploded the pipes, and the stove lids,
cooking utensils, ashes, ETC., were
thrown to the ceiling and promiscous-
ly scattered about the room. Mrs.
Frost as in the kitchen at the time
and her mother-in-law, Mrs H. A.
Frost, was just entering the door when
the explosion occurred Both ladies
had narrow escapes from being struck
with pieces of flying tinware and were
somewhat frightened
