The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1910-10-20
Notes From GrirnmS.

On Monday of last week the firemen
employed in the kilns here went on a
strike. Some time ago the Union
Lime Co. readjusted its laboring force
by taking two men off the day crew
and two men off the night crew, leav-
Ing 5 to do the work which had done
before. The iremen notified the super
intendent that they were unable and
would not work under the new change.
The company refused to compromise
and told the men they could quit work
and Others would take their places.
On Tuesday a new force was put in
and on Tuesday night Arthur krahn,
one of the new men, was shot and SER
iously wounded by an unknown assail-
ant supposed to be one of the strikers.
The shot was fired shortly after eleven
o'clock. Krahn was at work at the
time and was in a STOPPING position.
The bullet passed through his right ell
bow shattering the bone and lodged in
the thigh of his left leg. His compan-
ions rushed to the scene and removed
him to the hotel where his wounds
were cared for by Doctor Burke.
Sheriff Cary and District Attorney
Healy arrived upon the scene early
next morning to investigate but up to
this time no arrests have been made.
That Krahn wasn't killed is miracle
and if his assailant is caught he will
be punished to the full extent of the
law. Leaving out the crime part of it
the strike shows that the laboring man
who is willing to work and do his share
is not to be made slave of by COR
poration which is coming money at his
expense.
farm of Thomas Watt last Thursday
morning and made way with Is bags of
clover seed forty bushels) valued at
nearly $780,. The robbers used team
and wagon to carry away the plumber,
cut two barb wire fences, and carried it
fifty rods to the wagon. Tracks of the
team and wagon were found early next
morning and there is belief that it
was the work of some party familiar
with the premises. At this writing
no clue has been found to the robbers
although a few suspicious ones are held
in view.
Later.-It was reported Tuesday that
the thief had been caught and that he
had sold the clover seed at Appleton.
1t is said that he has settled up for the
clover seed and that his name will not
be divulged.
Martin Carney and Louis Grimm
threshed their clover last week, the
former threshed 125 bushels and the
latter l27. Who, says farming don't
pay?
Why not move the sheriff's Office out
in this section of the county. 1t would
save him the trouble of being called
out here nearly every second day in
the week and at all hours of the night.
