OUT ON WRIT, IN ON WARRANT

Authorities at Butte, Mont, wired
the sheriff here to take into custody
John Fukelich of Two Rivers The
charge against Fukelich seems to be
that he purchased furniture at Butte
on part credit and later sold the furni-
ture for cash, probably without dis
closing that he did not have good title,
or right to sell, because of some instru-
ment in the nature of a chattel mort
gage. When taken into custody he
secured an attorney and got invoked
the ancient and extraordinary writ of
habeas corpus to effect his release,
County Judge Chloupek, acting as
court commissioner released him from
custody under the writ holding that the
defendant could not longer be held by
the local authorities upon mere tele-
gram Shortly after Fukelich's release
the sheriff from Montana, Larry Dug
an, appeared and swore out a warrant
for his arrest Judge Chloupek, acting
as Judge of the municipal court, in the
absence of Judge Schmidt issued the
warrant. The Montana sheriff immedi-
ately applied to Governor Blaine for
extradition.

SCHOOL NOTES

The Riverside School at Taus, Town
OF Franklin, raised $50 at box social
held before Christmas. 1t is not yet de-
cided just for what the money is to be
used.
On Thursday afternoon, January 18th
the girls of the cooking class of Rapids
Graded School invited their mothers,
the wives of the school board members
and the teachers to luncheon The
dishes served were planned and propar-
ed by the girls as a demonstration of
their work in cooking, under the direc-
ton of their teacher Mrs. Schmitz. The
table was attractivcly set for sixteen
people. The luncheon consisted of the
following dishes: potato salad, veal
loaf, raised biscuits, light house salad
dessert date and walnut squares and
cocoa. Miss Marquardt, county super
vising teacher, happened to visit the
Rapids School on January 18th and
was cordially invited to the luncheo .
Miss arquardt has nothing but the
highest praise to give the teacher and
girls for what they are able to accom-
plish

DR.. II. w. Aldridge and family were
out to a social gathering across the
street from their home one evening last
wek. While they were gone some
nervy rascalS entered the house, pulled
the shades, turned on the lights and
ranSacked the house from top to bot
tom, taking everything that struck
their fancy.
Two valuable clews we're obtained as
we are informed; first: the burglars did
not loiter around on the premises nor
in the immediate neighborhood until
the police arrived, but left when their
work was done; second: the crime was
committed sometime between p. m
and IL p. M; that is while the family
was away.
That much having been accomplished
toward the apprehension of the cul-
prits, the rest should be easy.

ISOLATION HOSPITAL IN USE

The city councils committee on sani-
tation was proceeding in the usual
course of events to furnish and other
wise fit for nahitation the new iSola-
tion hospital, lately the fine brick resi-
dence of S. G. Cool, at Michigan ave-
nue. and Twenty-frst street, when the
appearance of four cases of smallpox
in the city last week made them finish
the business with CELEBRITY. They has
tened to complete the furnishing, EN-
ployed an attendant and made the
place ready for patients. The building
is admirably adapted for its purpose,
and the city is open to the suspicion
that it had this purpose in mind when
it condemned the premises as part of
the land wanted for cemetery purposes.
Despite the apparently general i'm
preston that the building was find
for the city for the purpose to which
it is put chronic fault finders are not
wanting to call attention to the incon-
gruity of putting the hospital nice and
handy to the cemetery.
The new cases of smallpox are a mild
form of the formerly dreaded malady
and have caused no uneasinesS.

CIRCUIT COURT

The noted case of dog eat dog ended
almost in draw. In the lower court
Mr.. Rabenhorst was given Sl75 for a
dog shot by Herman Kugler. In CIR
cult court last week on appeal the
Jury was out four hours and finally
fixed the value of Mr.. Rabenhorsts dog
at S75, but also fixed the value of the
Kugler dog, which is said to have died
as a result of the ministrations of the
Rabenhorst dog, at $50, leaving Mr..
Rabenhorst S25 net,
The case of Minnie Simon versus
Alex Schad was gotten under way. 1t
was an action on behalf of a girl at st.
Nazianz who alleged that false utter
ances had been made rejecting on her
character. The plaintiff amended her
complaint to read that the alleged de-
famatory matter had been spoken in
the German language and, the defend
ant then asserting that this new phase
of the proceedings took him by sur
prise, the court granted the defend
ants request that the case be continued
to the next term.
The last jury case of the term was
then called. In this Blanche Singer
sought to perpetually enjoin Max
Arndt from occupying four feet OF
ground along their line fence near Co.
lumbus and Seventeenth streets in this
city. The jury answered the questions
of the special verdict in favor of the
plaintiffs ownership of the four feet,
The jury cases ending Tuesday after
noon the court announced that the
court cases will be taken up in their
ord,r beginning next Monday morning.

LOCAL B0WLsRS At BIG MEET

The Manitowoc entrants at the state
state bowling tournament being held at
Milwaukee did their rolling last Satur-
day The scores put one ManitOwoc
team among the five leaders. This was
the Fischl Darys who scored 2,776,
landing them temporarily at least in
third place. They will quite likely be
displaced before the end.
Max Bigel, of this city, was high man
in the singles on Sunday, but it was not
high enough to get his name into the
charmed circle
The Fischls in the five leading teams
and A. Schuetze in the "all events"
were the only Manitowoc names ap-
pearing in the lists up to yesterday.
Madison won next years tournament
from Green Bay.

series of special meetings during the
past month, to make extensive school
Improvements, 1t was voted to call
for an inspection of the school by a
member Of the State Department of
Education. The school board was in
Structcd to buy all equipment neces-
Sary to enable the school to become

general of Maine and later a justice of
the supreme court of the United States.
In his Office he had as an associate and
fellow student in the law, S. A. Wood,
his cousin, who is elsewhere mentioned
in these papers.
Justice Clifford's departure from the
state Of Maine, upon the high diplo-
matte mission which resulted in the
noted treaty between Mexico and the
United States, of Guadalupe Hidalgo,
sent these young students elsewhere to
complete their studies.
Mr.. Kicker early in 1876 took par
tial course of lectures in the Harvard
Law School, then in its infancy. In
the same year he came to Manitowoc,
where in the back woods he began the
practice of his profession, specializing
in real estate matters. That he expect
ed to make Manitowoc his permanent
home was soon thereafter demonstrate
ed lie became deeply interested in
young German lady, and on Christmas,
lSt9, was united in marriage to Emelia
Melzner in the little village. This must
have been one of the first, if not the
very first of the many marriages be-
tween the New England Puritan ele-
.ment and the German immigration
which have occurred in Mantowoc.
In 1850 Mr.. Kicker succeeded ]. II.
Colby as county Judge, serving during
1850 and 1851, and in 1852 and 1853
he represented the county of Manito-
woe as member of assembly making a
mark as an efficient and influential
member of that body.
In connection with his law Office he
established a private land agency. act

held large landed interests, in this 10.

sent and care for the great Hinklc
land Allen interests, when Judge Colby
resigned them on account of failing
health. The reception indexes in the
public registry for the period from
lSi7 to 1854 show his real estate bust
ess to have been quite extensive.
1t is rather a strange fact that there
is no record ON file showing when or
how he became member of the Wis
consin bar. That he was a trained law

would have been very successful in po-
Ilitical life had he lived as he was well
adapted to that field of endeavor and
was full Of ambition for political pre-

out her Judgment. On the organiza-
ton of the county for judicial pur-
poses he became the first clerk of the
circuit court. At the end of Judge Col

The new brick block of our enter
prising citizen, Mr.. J. f. Platt, is now
almost ready for occupation. The
whole block is 80 by 100 feet, two
stories high with basement under the
whole building The first story is di-
vided into thre, stores which are so
constructed, thai they may be used
either all togeth c, or each one separ-
ately, each stor being also provided
with extensive cellar and loft room.
The second story contains besides the
large store lofts, four splendid Offices
with side rooms The whole is the best
arranged of any in our city. The cost
will probably not vary much from Sl5,-
600. This building will also necessitate
the erection of a large warehouse and
grain ELEVATOR on the river, which will
probably be erected next spring; thus
is Mr.. Platt preparing for the great in
crease of business soon to take place in
our city, May others soon follow his
praise-worthy example.
