A SAD TRAGEDY
coNRATH BOY KILLED BY A
COMPANION
|. WALKUSH ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Shooting Done BY Peter Chriske'
While Engaged in Removing
Lodged She'll

The village of Conrath, about
miles south of this city, was the
scene of a shocking tragedy about
three o'clock Sunday afternoon. Lu-
cas- Walkush, 15-year-Old son OF Mr.
and Mrs. August Walkush, was ac-
cidentally shot and almost instantly
killed by his brother-in-laW, Peter
Chriske. while the latter was engaged
in removing a lodged shell from his
gun.
These two. accompanied by Henry
Chriske and Alois Walkush, were
down on Main creek and all were
picking berries except Peter Chriske,
who was shooting at random
with 12-guage shot gun, see
inc how far it would carry over the
water.
In attempting to remove lodged
shell, Peter discharged the gun. Lu-
cas- was hit near the right ear ana
the shot passed entirely through the
head and came out directly in front
of the left ear. 1t is very probable
that he never knew what happened,
for although the spark of life was
not extinct for nearly an hour, he
never regained consciousness.
The unfortunate lad was lmmedl-
atelv conveyed into town by his com
panions and Dr. Ross, of this city,
was summoned by telephone, al
though there was no possible hope
of saving the boys life. He was dead
before the doctor arrived.
The father left Sunday evening for
the old home. Stevens Point, to make
arrangements for the funeral. O. B.
Ellingboe prepared the body for bur
ial and it was shipped to Stevens
Point Monday evening, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Chriske and
the Misses Rose and Regena Wal
kush. sisters of the deceased. Funer-
al services were held Tuesday at
the Catholic church in Stevens
Point. and were conducted by Faith
er Yankowsky. Interment was made
in the Catholic cemetery there.
Lucas Walkush was born at Cas-
SINGER. Wis, Oct. lS, 1896, and at
the time of his death was 10
years, months and days OF age.
August Walkush the boys father,
moved his family to Conrath last
spring and started a store.
Inquest is Held
Sheriff Foster and Under-Sheriff
Anderson made an investigation and
decided to hold an inquest, which oc-
Cured Monday, in this city, with
Justice Reeves presiding.
At the inquest, Drs. Ross and
O'Connor testified as to the wound
and the resulting death. Henry
Cbriske and Alois Walkush testified
as to the relative positions of all
four at the time and Immediately
prior TO the shooting.
Ihe coroner jury was CoAiPo'No
of the following: Phil S. Reed fore
man. P. H. Nelson, w. E. Clark, F.
/ Hughes John Sampson and G. b.
Goocher. Their verdict was that
the deceased came to his death at
about 3 o'clock p. M, on July Il,
1912. by a gunshOt wound, caused
by the accidental discharge of the
gun in the hands of one Peter

THE CITY FARMER.

The country Rube who came to
town used to be stock joke. But
the RUDE has made good. Most of
the men at the head of any city's
biggest affairs fisrt came to town as
Rubes. The tide of migration has
turned, and with it the joke has
turned upon the city man who has
the idea that few thousand dol
lars and afew books on agriculture
will make him a successful farmer.
Even a stupid turnip is said to
know city farmer as soon as it
sees him; the peas fairly rattle in
their pods with derisiOn as he pass
es; wandering too near the bee hive
with a book on honey-making. he
gets stung in three places; his cauli-
flowers turn out to be cabbages; the
thunder sours his milk; the drouth
gets his corn; the peaches drop off
before they ripen; the rot strikes
his potatoes; the hogs destroy the
MISUNDERSTANDING he has
goes wrong, and farming is a fail
ure. Yet, in spite of these diff
culties, the city farmer, in every
part OF our alnd. is making good
and especially in this part of Flor
ida--and is getting more than dol
lars out of his experience.
A well-handled hoe will hack to
pieces all his dyspepsia. Swinging
a make or grubbing hoe vii! tone up
his nerves as no other tonic will. On
the prongs of the fork he can pitch
away the worst attack of 1.-THE
blues. In the wake of the pl0w he
picks up strength to meet any emer-
gcncy. The dash of the shower that |
vets him to the skin cOmposes his
spirit for any crisis. NeighbOrs look |
ing over the fence may think he is
only wedding tomatoes, or splitting |
wood, or digging potatoes. But he
Is doing infinitely more. He is re-
building strength, enkindling spirit,
luickening his brain. purifying his
heart, and blessing his soul FIX
