out it was Nate Browns bees swarm

hard work to stop them but they

We think they made up their minds
that it was too early to swarm.

POTOSI.
special Correspondence to the Herald.


Chris Buacher for number of
years fireman on the Steamer Potosi
dropped dead on the boat while in the
performance of his duties as a result
of apoplexy Thursday afternoon at
about 4 80 o'clock. The steamer
was enroute to Potosi from Dubuque
and when nearing Maquoketa Chute
he was stricken with apoplexy and
died instantly. The steamer con-
tinued it's journey and the body was
taken to undertaken Edwards who
after preparing the body in suitable
manner removed it to the late home
of the deceased where the funeral was
held from, Sunday afternoon to the
British Hollow Cemetery. Mr..
Buacher was born in the town of
Potosi in 1852 and had continuously
lived here for SO years. He is sur
vived by his wife and several grown
children, who have the sympathy of
the people.
William John Fine, another old
resident of the town of Potosi, passed
away at his home in Buena Vista
Thursday morning at 2 80 resulting
from dropsy of which he had been
suffering for several years. The
funeral took place Saturday afternoon
from the residence to the British
Hollow cemetery. He is survived
by his wife, one son and one daugh-
ter who have the consultations of their
many friends in their bereavement.
William John Fine was born in that
part of the town of Potosi known as
Buena Vista on Christmas day 1916,
and had known no other place of resi-
dence. He was kind and loving
husband and very indulgent father
and highly respected by all who knew
him. For many years he followed
the pursuits of farming with his
brother Joseph; about four years ago
owing to failing health he had to
relinquish hard labor and disposed of
his farming interests to his brother,
retiring to private life, but not of
ease; for two or three years past he
had been patient sufferer with com
plications of ailments that developed
to dropsy and ended his live on earth.
The Angel of Death invaded the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Elskamp
last Wednesday afternoon and took
from them their dear little seven
months old boy, Walter Bernhard.
He died of lung fever after three or
four days illness. The funeral took
place Friday morning to st. Thomas
Catholic church and was the largest
child's funeral seen here for MANY
years. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful and the little
white casket was carried by four
small boys. Father Pape officiated
at the funeral and burial services.
The sorrowing parents have the
sincere coincidence of the entire com
munity in this their hour of sorrow.
Rev. Father Pape for nineteen
years pastor of st. Andrews Con-
gregation celebrated his last mass
and delivered his farewell address to
the congregation, in both German and
English, Sunday. His address was
a beautiful and pathetic one, and his
closing remarks brought tears to the
eyes Of many of the people present.

DRoWNED IN cross L.AKE

Frank Vacek Jr.. the eighteen
year old son Of Frank Vacek who
lives 4 couple of miles north Of
Cross Lake, was drowned last
Sunday afternoon while skating
from Norway point across to the
Enpey cottage. near the north
end of the lake.
There were several young men
from that naighborhood on the
ice near the Empey cottage when
Frank arrived shortly after 2
o'clock in the afternoon and,
.clamping on his skates, he thought
to reach them sooner By shooting
straight across on the ice rather
than skirting along the shore.
When about 400 or 500 feel
from the point the Ice suddenly
gave way under him and he fel
with 4 splash into the water.

The horrified skaters observed
the accident and began hurried
efforts to save him. Such poles
as were available and the An
drew Carlson boat were hastily
pushed or carried out on the
thin ice but the young man had
disappeared beneath the surface
after only 4 minutes struggle.
The surface was calm when the
boys reached the open spot.
