Henry Ropeter died Tuesday last at
the home OF his daughter, Mrs. Julius
Guenther, who resides at 702 Humboldt
Ave. He was a resident of Cedarburg,
and came here on visit to his daugh-
ter when taken sick. He was seventy
nine years of age. The remains were
shipped to Cedarburg for burial. His
wife and three children survive him.
Henry Garske, a resident of the town
of Maine, and employed by the Fen
wood Lumber Co. in hauling logs from
the vicinity of Rib hill, was brought to
st. Mary's hospital early in the week,
suffering from broken leg. While
hauling load of logs on Tuesday the
wrapping chains broke and he was
caught between two logs, with results
as stated.
John Till, the plasterer healer,
is catching the crowds Heretofore
Central trains did not stop at Somerset
and the livery men at New Richmond
were doing a land Office business. The
other day there were 70 passengers who
wanted to stop at Somerset and they
induced the conductor to stop the train
and since then Somerset has become
stopping station. One week ago yes
terday 500 people got off to see Till and
200 could not find lodging.
Atty. Fred Genrich is of the opinion
that he locked a burglar in the house
last Tuesday night. Coming home
with his wife and daughter at about
eleven o'clock that night he found the
first floor and basement of his home
lighted and the front door unlocked.
He made an examination of the house
and though he found few trivial
articles missing, he found no one in the
house and so locked the doors and re-
tired. Next morning he discovered the
basement again lighted and one of the
cellar windows pushed outward. His
supposition is that the intruder was
hidden IN the basement and made his
escape some time during the night.
The stork, that never firing bird that
has brought to this world so many
babies, visited the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John p Hume Saturday and left
a son. The event is the greatest that
ever happened in MIR. Hume's life and
he feels so good you couldn't break the
smile on his face with a hammer. 1t
was the only remaining link in the
chain of evidence that convicts him of
being the happiest man in Marshfield
and now as we watch the circling
smoke that arises from the Havana
cigar that came with the announce
ment, let us hope the presence of the
little stranger may bring everlasting
Joy to the proud parents.-Marshfeld
