SHOOTING AFFAIR

at the Ed Wiseman home at Ableman
Tuesday night and as result the gun.
man, Henry Kramp, is lodged in the
county Jail waiting his trial for threat
ening the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Wise
man and son.
Kramp is bachelor who lives alone
near Ableman. Recently his brother
from Sparta has been his guest and a
quarrel between the brothers was the
beginning of the trouble. Henry KramE
spent Tuesday in Ableman, and had
imbibed pretty freely so that ne was in
no mood to discuss quietly bushes
matters that the brother wished to
talk over. They got into quite heat
ed argument over money matters and
the visiting Kramp left the place.
Fearing this action meant trouble
Henry Kramp rushed over to the Wise
man home and ordered Mrs Wiseman.
who was alone, to telephone the village
marshal to arrest the brother. Since
the man was Furnishing q revolver in
one hand and beer bottle in the other,
Mrs. Wiseman thought it safest to
obey. She called the marshal to come
out to her home. This angered the
man, he threatened to shoot her unless
che changed the order at once. Again
to please him, she told the marshal he
was to head off the brother at Able
man and not come out there. Then she
left him raging around the house and
she slipped away and went to the VIM.
Black home In the meantime Mr..
Wiseman and son came home and
Kramp came out to the barn and tried
to pick quarrel with them. Several
times he informed them of his inten-
ton TO shoot and later he followed them
to the house and made good his promise
by firing two shots through the glass
door to the room in which the Wise
mans were.
firing of his one sided quarrel Kramp
finally went home but the next morning
was arrested and taken TO Baraboo.
The man has lived alone a long time
and has become suspicious of other
people. He is also heavy drinker and
it is thought is not responsible for his
actions. However, the Wisemans feel
safer to have him locked up and the
people of the Buckeye are not anxious
for another such night of terrors. =
