HIGHLAND CENTER
MAN TRIES SUICIDE

Paul Kurtz, a baker employed at
the Seybold bakery, Richland Cen
ter, became insane Friday last and
tried to kill himself. He first pur-
chased revolver and went about
town bidding his friends goodbye.
Marshal Chandler started to round
the man up and located him near the
foot bridge, Kurtz having stopped in
at the west side store to write few
farewell notes.
The man was overpowered and the
gun taken away from him. KurtZ
was taken to jail and locked up. He
was bound to die, however, and taxi
ing some bedding attempted to hang
himself. Other prisoners found him
in an unconscious condition, medical
aid soon restoring him. He was TAX
en- before Judge McCorkle and found
insane and later was taken to Men

thought it was deer, and I would
guess about where it's heart would be,
although I could not see it's body. I
shot with the little rife, but no deer
fell. Next Seymour shot with his old
pumpkin singer and then I saw the
head Of a panther, with short ears
and rather pretty face. He came
towards me and sat down about seven
rods away. Then I could see it's hip
plainly. It was about the color Of
the red oak leaves. I should have re-
loaded my rifle and have broken its

to see a little snow below the red and
blazed away.

RETURNS FROM EAST
WITH AN HISTORIC
OLD PARCHMENT

0. D. Brandenburg, editor OF the
Madison Democrat, was in Baraboo on
Sunday, having returned few days
ago from trip to Washington, New
York, and other places in the east.
While in Maryland he visited the old
estate where his great grandfather
lived and died, and where his grand
father was born. The Brandenburgs
located there about the middle of the
eighteenth century, and while visiting
there, the Madison editor was given
an old parchment, land patent, issued
in 1869 by one of the Lord Baltimores,
it is thought to an ancestor Of Mr..
Brandenburg. The patent has faded
considerably and will require the serv-
ices of an expert to decipher a por-
ton Of it. He intends to seek the as
sistance of the staff of the state his
torical library to obtain the complete
history of the parchment.
The faded patent has been handed
OONA A1OAA OA1C QCA W chAAOtANAt
and with others had been preserved.
The one who had the patent did not
particularly care for it and was glad
to give it to member Of the family
who would treasure and appreciate it.
On the old Brandenburg homestead
there is a house which has survived
the storms and stress of about $50
years, the logs being covered with sid
ing. The same heavy oak planks are
still in the floor Not far away on
knoll on the farm a number of mem
bers of the family lie buried, only one
grave being marked.
Mrs. Brandenburg and daughter are
at Asheville, North Carolina, to re-
main until warm weather comes. Miss
Brandenburg has been i'll for some
time with pleurisy and has lost the
year as a student in the University of
Wisconsin.

An Encounter With A
Panther and a Hair
breadth Escape


Now the reader of the above cap
ti0n will naturally conclude that q
Aerrible bloody encounter took place
In some PARKWAY mountain, but such
IL not the case. will offer the facts
TO the readers of The News, In hopes
to bring out more information about
panthers that actually roamed over
the hills in the vicinity of Devils Lake
State park.
It was as far back as the seventies
that panthers were seen and heard
near here. Ralph Elmendorf, who re-
aaded on the Ed. J. Myers place, saw
a panther on large limb Of tree in
Bakers Hollow. AS the panther
was apparently asleep, and as Ralph
had only fine shot In his gun, he mod
estly retired and let it slumber.
Ella Brooks. now Mrs. E. D. King,
district, and boarded with Henry
Plat, often called the family out
in the evening to hear the panthers
cry. John Terril, who boarded with
Ralph Elmendorf. had a squirrel rifle
with which he was hunting in Bax-
ter's Hollow, when he heard panther
cry and it kept coming nearer. AS
the old man was unable to run, he
took a sidetrack and came cross lots
home. He said, "That path was all
that saved his old bacon"
George HEREFORD, then a resident
here, claimed he heard the panther's
cry, but I never heard of any domes-
tic animals nor people being harmed
by them. I have a small-bOred, muz-
zEe-loading rifle which my father
made, and it was just the thing for
shooting off the heads of squirrels
and pigeons, of which there were a.
plenty then. We knew practically
nothing Of cartridges or repeating
rifles in those days, and, speaking Of
the calibre OF gun, would say it took
