Mr.. and Mrs. Sonsthagen had been
for about two weeks at Mount Glenn

Up to going to press the details of
the sad event have not reached here.
Mr.. Sonsthagen was born in Norway,
fifty-three years ago but has been a
resident of this city since infancy.
He entered the 0. Torrison employ
at the close of his school days and at
an early age rose to high place in the
big store. He continued in this service
until his death.
He was always a lover of the out
doors, an ardent hunter and crack
markSman, and as late as last fall he
was on a Canadian moose hunt.
He was a member of the Elks,
Knights of Pythias and other organi-
cations.
Mr.. Sonsthagen is survived by his
widow, his mother and seven sisters,
Mrs. Harry Hogan of Chicago, Mrs.

Game Association during the past week
has been stocking county lakes and
streams with fry from the state hatch
cry. About 100000 fry have been
distributed. Twenty-four cans of

Francis creek.
Thirty cans Of pike were put into
the following lakes: Gatermann, Eng
lISh, Hartlaub's, Kastbaum, Glomsky,
Silver, Hampton, Harp, EngeldingeE

as it is an ideal trout stream.
The association earnestly asks the
cooperation of sportsmen and all eiH.
aens in giving the fry chance to de-
velop, This county association is a
class by itself among state organiEa-

LECTURE ON EDUCATION

Rev. II. S. Noonan, S. j., president
of Marquette University spoke at the
K. of G. auditorium Monday evening.
He had a fair audience and held it for
two hours on educational themes. His
main plea was for the teaching of
morality in the schools and he said that
all creeds could approve of course of
lectures on the ten commandments. He
explained his reasons for disapproval
of the Towner-Sterlng bill which he
said would concentrate control of edu-
cation in Washington and remove the
control far from the people.
He urged the city to make all haste
in the erection of the new high school.
The auditors were amply repaid for
their attendance.

MYSTERIOUS DROWNING

William Schwandt, a member of the
firm of Behnke and Co., garage OPP
orators on Commercial street, drowned
in the car he was driving late last
Thursday night. Schwandt had been
making a car sale and was returning
to the garage alone with the car at al
most midnight. Walter Reininger, a
c. &. N. w. railway tower man, pass
ing over Tenth street bridge saw an
automobile approach the river from the
south at Eleventh street. 1t came very
slowly and toppled into the river. He
notified the police station and they all
supposed from the description of its
movement that the car was unoCcupied.
When the car was raised from the wa
ter the body of Mr.. Schwandt was
found at the wheel What happened
will always remain a mystery. He was
either unconscious or was confused
and feeling his way looking for Tenth
street bridge. The former seems more
likely. Mr.. Schwandt had been in the
garage business here for seven years
and was familiar with the streets.
He was born in Newton, this county,
December "a, 1882. He was married
at Amigo fifteen years ago to Caroline
Stage who with two daughters, aged
13 and survive. He is also survived
by his mother, Mrs. r. c. Behnke, of
this city; a sister Mrs William Bu-
bolz of Reedsville; four half brothers,
Otto,. Edwin and Walter Behnke, of
this city, and VIM. Behnke of Cato;
and a half sister, Mrs. Esther Stecker
of ManitOwoc Rapids.
The funeral was held from the home
on south Nineteenth street Sunday af-
ternoon with services at St. Johns
Evangelical church, the Rev. Winger
officiating.

SUE FOR POLICEMAN'S DEATH

The Ees, Wisconsin Trustee Com
pany as administrator of the estate of
the late Marshall Squires has brought
an action against Thomas Sporer who
is charged in the complaint with being
responsible for the death of the city's
motor policeman. Damages are asked
aggregating $4,000.
Mr.. Squires while riding his motor
cycle outside the city collided with an
automobile driven by Mr.. Sporer. He
suffered a bad fracture and various
complications set in and he finally died
leaving two orphan children, the
mother having died some months be-
fore.
The defendant denies being to blame
for the collision which happened on the
town line road at the Charles Hall
farm last October.
The case will probably be on the cal
endar of the June term.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

There was an adjourned meeting OF
the city council last Thursday held
mainly to thresh out dredging and it
was some dredging party.
After discussing the dredging pro-
gram the scheme was curtailed by plan
ming a shallower channel up river,
which materially reduced the estimated
cost and brought it to about 100000
The big debate and battle then came
over what fund the money should be
taken from, with the five admnistra-
tion socialists, Vogel, Staalson, Klus-
meier, Thompson and Drumn voting
against the dredging These five on
two roll calls killed the movement to
take the money from the emergency
fund as the mayor ruled that this
required a two-thirds vote, and the
eight voting "aye" were one short.
The money was finally voted out of
the general fund, as the mayor ruled
that required but a majority vote, with
the five hostiles voting "no."
There is $4,000 available for dredging
having been raised for that purpose
and where to get the $4,000 more now
necessary was what the rumpus was
about. This is a mere outline of a
long stormy session.
The matter of appropriating $4,000
for an incinerator also came up and
Drumm tried to railroad it through but
the council wanted to know more about
the plan 1t has been on tapis only a
year or two, so hardly anyone knows
much about it.
There was also an attempt by
Thompson to drain $4,000 out of the
sacred emergency fund for unexpected
work on streets and he pleaded for it
but five votes registered against that
also on the ground of wanting time
and fuller explanations. They were
Hansen, Schulze, ThOriSon, Smuggler
and Revolinsky.
All in all a lovely time was had
Kazda, the only absentee missed some
thing.

LEGION SHOW GOOD

The comic opera, The Blue Bandits
put on by local talent under the au-
spices of the American Legion last
week was big success both from
financial and artistic viewpoints. The
work of preparation had been conSci-
entiously and skillfully done and every
one in the show from the principals
down added to the ensemble.
To start mentioning names would
and the costuming were in keeping
with the high order of the production.
The boys deserved the capacity house
which they had.

WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH

Mrs. Mathew Shimek, an aged wom-
an, was burned to death at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Adolph Shoulak,
near Branch Sunday evening.
She was alone in the house while the
members of the family were out at the
usual chores. When they returned
they found the unfortunate woman
wrapped in flames, the evident result
of having attempted to ignite a kitchen
fire with the aid of kerosene. The fact
of almost instant death was a mercy
as it saved her lingering in terrible
torture.
She had been repeatedly warned to
leave the fire alone and was particu-
larly asked not to use kerosene.
Temptation in the way of fuel had even
been removed but she had gone out
and supplied this want.
Mrs. Shimek was 76 years of age and
had been making her home with son
Frank at Kellnersville
She is survived by seven sons and
two daughters: Frank of Kellners-
vile; Mathew of Menchalville; Adolph
Milwaukee; John and Peter of Rock
wood; Jacob of Milladore; Rev. Emil
Shimek, of Tisch Mills; Mrs. John Ho-
dek, of Saxon; Mrs. Adolph Shoulak,
of Branch Two step children, Joseph
Shimek and Mrs. Albert Holachek, OF
Kellnersville, also survive.
The funeral was held from the home
of Mrs. Shoulak at Branch, Wednes-
day morning

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Frank Markvardt of the town of
Gibson was last week bound over for
trial in the circuit court charged with
having sold a bull, a young steer and
two-year old hefer which he leased
with the farm of Frank Riha which he
rented. He made no defense on the
preliminary examination. The techni-
cal title of the offense is "larceny by
the bailee" He is out on a $500 bond.
Federal and state dry agents paid
our community the honor of brief
visit last Friday evening during which
they found the goods on three of our
citizens who conduct what the cockney
calls a public 'ouse.
The victims were: John Spinker,
Eighth and Washington streets, F.
Komorowsky, Washington and Twen-
tieth streets and f. Sogge at the Out
side Inn on the Shoto road
At each of these places some liquor
was seized.
The raiders came into town by auto
mobile and made a quick job of it,
When they returned from the coun-
try Chief TrOchell saw a jug in their
car and not knowing them thought for
few minutes that he had something
on his line.
Sogge, Spinker and Komorowsky
each paid a fine of 5000 on a plea of
guilty.
Walter Zeenskl loaded up on moon
shine Saturday night and got rough
with the family. He tried it on the
wife and his better half must have
been observing the tactics of Maggie
Jiggs as she beaned her beloved with
a club. The police looked all over for
Walter and found him in a shed with
bad cash in his scalp which resulted
from his Spouse's miniStrations. In
court he said that the wife took the
right attitude. He paid SIS and costs.
Otto Lohse and Norbert Lettenberg-
er, two truck drivers were in court
Monday charged with violating an or
dinance prohibiting overlooking We
hicles and permitting portions of the
load to litter the pavement. They were
let off with a warning and costs, which
came to $5.46 apiece
George Beck was also up on SINH
lar charge having indulged in the
amusement of sprinkling South Eighth
street with ashes. He paid the costs
and was let off
After a recess speeders are again
coming in. No. IA, Clifford Seller and
No. Is, Joseph Vondrachek each paid
$40 and costs Monday.
John Meyer, Jr., paid $40 and costs
yesterday for running his motor with

GUERNSEY SALE

The Manitowoc-C Calumet Guernsey
sale at the fair grounds last Thursday
was a success. The average was S1S1
for females and S7450 for males, not
record prices but a fair average as
prices are now going. Arnie Voigt of
Kiel sold one animal to an Illinois pur-
chaser for S40O, and F. F. Thielke of
Kiel sold a heifer for $3.50 to the same
purchaser. The dead line seemed to be
set at $500 and bidding rarely went
over that. Three foreign buyers were
present looking for car lots and had to
fill out by trips about the county.
