TOWN UNDER WATER.

Village of Boar in Rich1and County
Nearly Ruined by Flood.
The village of Boaz, having pOpula-
ton of 400, has been entirely submerged
as a result of the Wisconsin river over
flowing. A number of the houses have
been moved from their foundations, car
ried along distances ranging from 100
yards to a mile, and set down on some
high elevations. The people of the town
moved about in boats gathering up their
property. In some places the water was
from six to ten feet deep with an average
depth of four feet. Provisions have been
brought from the neighboring towns, but
the roads are so bad that it is impossible
to supply the people who are in need.
Most of the inhabitants went to Mus
coda. Among the places submerged were
the following: William Barnes flour mill,
the Berry hotel, III. Il. Berry's saloon,
Fish & Peterson, stave factory; Thomas
Johnson's cheese store, Keppler Co., gen
eral store; Oss Oulland's sawmill, L. w.
ParcelPs hardware store, John Ryan's

Thomas Clag was found dead near
White lake, not far from Amigo, with his
skull badly crushed. Four Indians who
had been drinking with Clag were held,
pending inquiry. Clag was employed as
a dynamiter by the NJ. J. Pepper Con
struction Company. Mike and Tim Cough
lin, who lived with Clag in a shanty,
have disappeared. The facts at hand are
said to indicate that the man was MUIR
dered by the four Indians with whom he
had been carousing. Neighbors in the vi
cinity claim that the Coughlin brothers
ran a blind pig. They reported that Sun
day there was considerable noise at the
shanty and that there must have been an
hilarious time inside 1t is known that
Clag and the two Coughlins and the four
Indians were inside the shanty Sunday
evening. In the morning the COughlins

EATS MATCHES TO DIE.
Mother of Soldier Who Died in Cuba
Unbalanced.

Caroline Singleman, aged 81 years, died
IL horrible agony in Manitowoc, as the
result of having swallowed the heads
from a box of matches. This was Mrs.
Singleman'S third attempt to kill herself,
her first being made early in June, fol-
lowing her detention by officers on a
charge Of taking flowers which had been
placed on soldiers graves on Memorial
day. The matter became public, and
the unfortunate woman, unable to bear
the disgrace, attempted to kill herself,
but was prevented. She was again ar
rested, this time on a shoplifting charge,
and again she tried to commit suicide.
Being again prevented, she awaited a
further opportunity, and while alone in
the house she ate the heads off box of
matches. Mrs. Singleman was well
known in ManitoWoc. 1t is believed that
grief over the death of her son, Charles
Singleman, who died in Cuba while serv-
ing as a soldier during the Spanish
American war, unbalanced her mind.
