Last Saturday morning, word reach
ed the city that Pierson L. Halsey,
aged 40 years, son of Circuit Judge
Lawrence w. Halsey of Milwaukee,
had been murdered by an old bachelor
, and farmer by the name of Herman
Becker, near Athens in this county.
1t appears that Halsey had rented
the farm of Mr.. Becker for term of
two years with an optional clause
for two years longer if Mr.. Halsey
desired it. The latter took advantage
the farm two years longer. Becker
had forgotten the two years option
clause and sold the farm TO a nephew.
Mr.. Halsey sent his men over to cut
the hay recently and was told he
could not have it. The men were
persistent and were finally driven off
when Becker threatened to shoot.
Injunctional papers we're gotten out
and served and it was while Mr.. Hal
sey in person was at the farm trying to
get the work under Roadway that the
trouble ensued which caused the
double tragedy. Becker told Mr..
Halsey to go away or he would shoot
him, and upon his refusing, Becker
who was carrying gun, loaded
with buckshot, fred, hitting Hal
sey in the left side, some of the
shot tearing through the arteries of
the neck and another entering his
chin. Becker then went to the house
and turned the gun upon himself, the
buckshot charge tearing hole in his
left breast. Death in both cases was
instantaneous.
Some thirty years ago Fred Riet-
brock and Judge Halsey of Milwaukee
purchased and opened up large tracts
of splendid farming lands in the
towns of Rietbrock and Halsey in the
