Aug. Prechel died Friday evening at
the county asylum. When young
man, Mr.. Prechel, who was then living
in the town of Berlin, accidentally lost
the sight of both eyes. The misfortune
preyed upon his mind and he went in
sane. He had been an inmate of
asylums for a great many years and
was first opened.
Ed. Greengrass, Chippewa Indian
living on the Black River reservation,
worked very clever swindling game
on the county clerk of Clark county
last week and as a result is now in jail.
Cutting up VOLTS hide, his squaw very
dexterously manufactured five wolf s
scalps. The Indian exhibited them to
the town clerk and secured certificate
from him, which was presented to the
county clerk and the latter, who is a
new officer, issued an order for $50 in
payment of bounty. When examined
the "scalps'' were found to be a very
ingeniously contrived imitation of the
genuine article.
1t has been many year since this
section has had so much rain and ice
for so long time as was experienced
the past week or more. Every side
walk was like sheet of glass, making
it dangerous for limb and body. We
were all middle-of-the-road populists.
Some property owners put salt on their
walks. Others tried sand and ashes.
The two latter substances were effective
in two ways. They reduced the slip
perry condition and at the same time
produced an effect which lruff1ed the
temper of housewives, for every time
one entered house he was sure to
leave tracks on the carpets. Before
the last snow came, the small boy was
in his glory for the sidewalks, if not
treated as above stated, furnished him
excellent opportunities to practice his
skating abilities.
The county boards committee on
roads and bridges, Messrs. f. X. Schil-
ling, Ben Lang, Fred Borchardt, Carl
Shewe and Anton Emmerich, went to
the town of Easton at the conclusion of
the county board meeting for the pur-
pose of meeting the town board and
opening bids for the construction of a
new bridge across the Eau Claire river
in that town. Two bids were received,
one from the Wisconsin Bridge and
Iron Co of Milwaukee for S1,1S7, the
other from the Hennepin Bridge Co of
Minneapolis for Sl,245. The contract
was let to the former company Work
will begin on the structure after the
spring freshets have passed. The piers
of the present bridge will be used and
will be raised two feet higher to make
the bridge conform with the road bed.
