Q peculiar document and in it he
charged that the speaker had packed
the committees in the interest of the

men like r. C. Dunn, L. G. SpooneI

The speaker, a man of known spirit,
resented the attack, but the dignity
of his position as speaker was not.

GIRL HES|TATES;;
SUICIDE FOLLOWS
Wilton Young Man Sup
posedly Despondent
Takes Life.
(Sparta Democr at

Adolph Reich, section hand, com-
mittad suicide early Monday morning
at his home in the village Of Wilton
following, it is supposed, break with
: his sweetheart, the daughter of August
BukatZ, a farmer residing few miles
from the village.
Reich had been keeping company
with the girl for more than year, and
last spring he asked her to marry h1na.
He parents were in favor of the match
bnt the girl begged that the wedding
be put off until this fall, to which Reich
reluctantly consented.
He made his regular visit to the
Bukatz home Sunday, returning to
Wilton at about 2 o'clock Monday
morning. William Arndt, the livery
man from whom he had rented his
horse, was waiting for him when he
brought the rig back to the stable, but
noticed nothing unu u Il in his actions,
though he did seem somewhat mOrose.
From the livery barn Reich went di-
rectly to the home of his parents, with
whom he resided, and going to his
room, removed one shoe and stocking,
then placing the muzzle of a shotgun
against his breast, he pulled the trigger
with his naked toe, blowing off the
entire side of his body and killing him
instantly. His parents, awakened by
the shot, rushed to his room only to
find him dead.
No explanation of the rash act is
available, except the supposition that
Miss Bukatz, who was reluctant to
give up the gay, care-free life OF a
popular country maiden for the drudg-
cry of housewife, asked for another
postponement of the marriage, which
was refused by Reich, and that this led
to quarrel resulting in the girls jilt-
ing him, and that he, in fit of des-
pondency, went home and took his life
He was known to love the girl passion
ately aud often talked to his friends
about her and their approaching mar
riage, and it is said that he spent his
money lavishly upon her. They attend
ed dance at Wilton last Friday night,
when there was no sign of trouble be-
tween them and they appeared to be
perfectly happy.
The girl is not known to have any
other admirers, although she is said to
have refused to wear a diamoud ring
which Reich bought her. Both Reich
and the girl come of good families and
there was no parental objection to the
match.

WOMAN AIDED
IN CAPTURING
T. SPOONHOLz I
Mrs. Balfanz Kept Him
at Bay With a Pitch
fork.

Ernest Spoonholz, for whose appre-
hension a reward of $4,000 was offered,
was captured on the Chas. Balfanz
farm in the town Of Honey Creek
Tuesday afternoon about 4 o'clock by
Fred Krug with the assistance of his
neighbors, Chas. Steuber and John
Grass, says the Prairie du Sac News.
Mr.. Krug, who works the Balfanz
disturbed in the barn, and knowing
that none of his help had been in the
hay NOW, suspicioned that some
stranger was in the barn-perhaps
Spoonholz. After satisfying himself
that there was someone behind an oats
bin, be called in his neighbor, Mr..
Steuber, and upon another search
found that the person had left his
hiding place, but found horsebanket
and food scraps behind the oats bin.
Then the search in the haymOw began.
So certain were the searchers that
someone was in hiding that they kept
up the man hunt for three hours,
when as suspected Spoonholz was un-
covered from his hiding place in the
hay. He was ordered to throw up his
hands and come out facing shot gun
in the hands of Fred Krug. He came
out as ordered, but at an unexpected
moment turned and jumped down
twelve feet into the driveway of the
barn. Luckily for Mrs. Balfanz, who
had the presence of mind to grab a
pitchfork and detain him long enough
to give his pursuers chance to pre-
vent his escape. He was tied and the
sheriff telephoned for. Many times
before the arrival Of Sheriff Meyer, he
made excuses where by to gain his re-
lease, going as far a holding his
breath until his face turned black and
blue, claiming he was tied too tight.
Sheriff Meyer made the run down
from Baraboo in an automobile in 30
minutes. Spoonholz was placed
hands ard feet-in irons and tied to
the automobile and safely landed in
the county bastile.

DID NOT KNOW
HIS BROTHER
After Thirty-seven Years
Member of Family Be
comes Stranger.

Do you suppose you would know
your brother after thirty-seven years
if you should accidentally meet him in
an unexpected place? John w. Her
rington did not and it is no wonder.
ThirJy-seven years ago the Herringtous
resided in GAINESVILLE and one member
of the family, W. F. Harrington, de-
cided he would try his fortune in the
far west. He went away and for a
time wrote occasionally to his sister
but eventually the correspondence
ceased and the Wisconsin members
decided long ago that he was dead. A
short time since the absent one came
to Chicago and the other morning he
decided that he would return TO the
old home in Janesville. When he step
ped from the train he consulted city
directory but could not find the name
Harrington. He recalled the name Of
his brother-in-law and could not find
that either. Then he started out to
find some Of his old friends. Many
were the strange faces he met in the
search for one he knew thirty-seven
years ago. While going down the
street he saw Joseph Bakers sign over
the entrance to his store. He went in
and said to the proprietor, "Hello, Jo."
Mr.. Baker knew him and called him
by name.
There Mr. Harrington learned that
his brother resided in Baraboo and he
then came to this city. When he ar
rived he asked for his brother and the
home was pointed out to him. Sudden
y his informant said: "There comes
John now" Sure enough Mr.. Herring
ton was coming down the Walnut
street hill. When the long lost brother
accosted the Baraboo resident, the
latter confessed that he did not know
to whom he was talking. The seasons
of the yea IL change the face of any
man. The visitor soon made himself
known and they are having long
visit now. Other Janesville friends of
distant days were found and the rec
ognition game was played oa them.
Since leaving Janesville Mr.. Herring
ton has been residing in the western
states. For some time he lived on
the ocean and visited the orient
and Australia. He will leave soon
to visit his sister in Chicago.
