MARSCHNER commended Drafting in the Court Room yesterday. Although a respectable crowd of spectators was present, there was no feeling and but very little interest manifested in the operation - the crowd undoubtedly thinking it was one thing to draft a man, and another thing to catch him. It is nearly impossible to get the names correct, as they are principally German and Bohemian, but we give them as nearly as we can. Up to the hour of going to press the following persons had been Drafted from the towns mentioned.

The past week has been a sad one for Manitowoc. A calamity, the recital of which could not be listened to without a thrill of horror, had it occurred in some distant part of the country, has been brought to our very doors. Other great disasters have occurred on Lake Michigan, involving even more serious loss of life, and Manitowoc has happily escaped. But when the waters closed over the wrecked and burned Sea Bird last Thursday, a score of hearthstones in our midst were made desolate, and gloom and depression settled upon our entire community. The first dispatch, received here about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, announcing souls that the Sea Bird had burned off Waukegan early that morning, caused unspeakable anxiety and distress, for a large list of passengers, many of them the heads of families and among our best citizens, had embarked on the ill-fated steamer. Subsequent telegrams were vague and unsatisfactory, serving only to confirm the first-the Sea Bird had been burned, and probably many lives were lost-and at 6 o'clock the wire, from some cause, refused to work, and no more messages could be received or transmitted. It would be hard, indeed to describe the excitement and anxiety that prevailed. The mental anguish and torture of suspense suffered during that long night, by those who had near and dear ones on the burned steamer, no pen can describe. The telegraph office, and the sidewalk in front of it, were crowded until a late hour by an eager and excited, yet patient throng, who watched and waited for further tidings until it was evident that nothing more would be learned that night, when they turned away with heavy hearts. During the night the wire was put in working order, and the first message that flashed over it on Friday morning brought confirmation of the worst fears of the most despondent. Of between seventy and eighty passengers and crew on board the doomed vessel, only two were saved. Only two and neither of these were from Manitowoc. But there was still left the hope, realized, alas, in the few instances, that some might have left the boat at Milwaukee or Racine; and the intelligence received later in the day, that JAMES H. LEONARD had been so miraculously rescued near Evanston, revived the hope that others might yet be saved. As the days wore by and no tidings came, this last hope gave place to the conviction that all, save these three were lost. The following, from this place and vicinity are believed to have been lost with the Sea Bird: JAMES A. HODGES, Clerk of the Sea Bird. Was born in Taunton, Mass., and was 40 years of age. He came to Wisconsin in 1849, and was employed as warehouse clerk by Messrs. Kellog and Strong, at Milwaukee, with whom he remained until the spring of 1857, when, in company with Mr. Peter Johnston, he came to Manitowoc, and the two, for the six years following, carried on a general receiving and forwarding business on the North Pier, under the well known firm name of Johnston & Hodges. In 1862, Mr. Hodges withdrew from the firm to join the army and enrolled himself as private in Company K, Twenty-first Regiment, of which he was soon made the First Sergeant. He served with his regiment at Perryville and in other actions, and at Stone River was captured by the enemy and confined in Libby Prison. Upon being released, his health was so much impaired that he was transferred to the Invalid Corps, and was selected by General Sweet, Commandant of Camp Douglas, as his Private Secretary, in which capacity he served until the expiration of his term of service. In July, 1866, he was appointed Clerk of the new steamer Orion, and remained on her until the close of the season of 1867. This spring Mr. Goodrich transferred the Orion to the East Shore Route, and placed the Sea Bird on this. At the request of Mr. Hodges, who wished to be with his family, to whom he was much attached, as often as possible, Mr. Thombs, clerk of the Sea Bird, changed positions with him. Of unquestioned business capacity and experience, his place will be hard to fill by his employer. Frank, genial and warm-hearted socially, and generous to a fault, no one could make his acquaintance without becoming his fast friend forever after. He was one of the very few men who have no enemies, and will be sincerely mourned by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and four children, the eldest 13 years of age, who reside in the Second Ward. GEORGE W. EMERY. Was born in the State of Maine, and was 38 years of age. Mr. Emery came to Manitowoc in 1856, and engaged in the grocery and provision business, opening a store on Commercial street, and subsequently on York street. In 1862, attracted by the promising prospects of the Lake Superior region, he closed out his store here and went to Marquette, Mich., where he engaged in shipping live stock and did a general merchandising and regular forwarding business. His family remained here, however, and he made frequent visits to them, and had several times made large purchases of live stock in this county in the way of his business. He was on his way to Chicago to contract for the shipment of goods to Lake Superior when he met his fate. Mr. Emery was a shrewd, enterprising business man, straightforward and honorable in all his dealings, a firm friend, and an indulgent husband and father. He leaves a wife and three children, who live in the Second Ward. CAPT. N.T. NELSON. Was born in Norway, and was 43 years of age. By occupation he was a mariner, from his early youth. He came to Manitowoc about 18 years ago, and since that time has resided here with his family, following his occupation as a vessel captain. He was on his way to Chicago to purchase a tug for use in our harbor, if he could find one that suited his purposes. Captain Nelson was an upright, hardworking, public spirited man, who was universally esteemed, and whose death is a serious loss to our community. His liberality was only limited by his means, and no worth object of aid was ever turned away by him empty- handed. He leaves a wife and seven children, who live in the Second Ward. CAPT. JOHN SORENSON. Was born in Norway, and was 40 years of age. Like Captain Nelson, he was an old salt-water sailor, and was also a first-class ship carpenter. He came to Manitowoc about 19 years ago, and since that time has usually sailed during the summer and worked at his trade in the winter time. He had just sold his interest in the schooner Walhalla, but there was some mistake in the papers, and it was for the purpose of having this rectified, that he was on his way to Chicago. He was an honest, industrious man, a good neighbor and a good citizen, and his loss will be deeply felt. He leaves a wife and two children, who reside in the Fourth Ward. JOSEPH D. DOUCETT. Was of Scotch descent, and aged about 37 years. He came to this county some ten or twelve years ago to follow his occupation, that of lumberman, but a wound received in the service incapacitated him for severe manual labor, and at the time of the disaster he was keeping a boarding house for the employes of Vilas & Co.'s woolen mill, four miles up the river. He was on his way to Chicago on business relating to an application he had made for a pension. In October, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Co. E, Fourteenth Regiment, and was subsequently promoted to be a corporal and detailed as one of the regimental color guard. At the battle of Corinth, in October 1862, while his regiment was being driven from its position by the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. Doucett, in endeavoring to save the colors from capture, was borne to the ground by a bayonet thrust, and left for dead on the field. He was taken and cared for by the enemy, and when he recovered and returned to his friends in the January following, was welcomed as one from the dead. Always prompt and faithful in the execution of his duty, brave even to rashness, and upright and honorable as a man, the army rolls do not contain the name of a better soldier than was Jo. Doucett. May his memory be ever green. He leaves a wife and two children, who live near Vilas & Co.'s mill. JAMES LEYKOM. Has lived in Manitowoc with his parents since his early boyhood, was a shoemaker by occupation, and had just completed his 21st year. He was on his way to Chicago to care for his brother, John R. Leykom, who has been ill for several weeks past, when, just on the threshold of manhood, he met his sad fate. He was a young man of correct principles and much promise, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. His father's family reside in the Third Ward. PATRICK C. DENAHAE. Was born in Ireland, and was 28 years of age. He came to America when but 11 or 12 years old, with his parents, who moved to this county a few years later. In 1862 he went to Chicago and engaged in business, where he had continued since, and prospered; and only last May the Pilot announced his marriage with a daughter of Mr. Michael Doolan, of this village. With every prospect of a long life of happiness before them, he has been suddenly deprived of existence and a shadow cast up her young life for all time. Mr. Denahae intended returning to Manitowoc to live, and brought with him from Chicago about $1200 to purchase a lot he had fixed upon near the corner of Buffalo and Ninth streets. The property was sold, however, before his arrival, and this money was on his person at the time of the disaster. He was a generous, warm-hearted young man, and his untimely death is lamented by a large circle of friends. His wife, and an infant child, but a few weeks old, are with her parents, in the Second Ward. FRANZ KLIMMER. Was an old resident of Manitowoc, and aged about 50 years. About a year ago he sold his farm, just out of town on the Calumet road, and went to Chicago to go into business with a son-in-law. He came to Manitowoc for the balance of the money, due on his farm, which he got and left with his son-in-law here, Mr. Haegen, but had about $500 on his person when lost. He leaves a wife and two married daughters. WENZEL HAVLICHEK. Lived in the town of Mishicott, was 26 years of age and a farmer by occupation. he leaves a wife and three children. CASPAR LEGRO. Lived in the town of Mishicott, was 21 years of age, a farmer and a single man. ALBERT MRWA. Lived in the town of Mishicott, was 25 years of age, a laborer and a single man. HENRY PFEFFER. Was a young man, 21 or 22 years of age, and unmarried. He was the keeper of the tavern on the corner of Main and Marshall streets, nearly opposite the Catholic church. He had business in Milwaukee, but concluded to go on to Chicago, for company, with James Leykom, between whom and himself there existed a strong friendship. He leaves a widowed mother. CHARLES RIECHEN. Was about 40 years of age, and had been a resident of Manitowoc for the past 12 years. He was the master carpenter in Goodrich's shipyard here, and was highly esteemed by those who knew him. He leaves a wife and one child, who live on the South side. FRED. HENNING. Was a single man about 20 years of age. He lived in the town of Newton. R.H. HUNT. Had been in Manitowoc only about three weeks, and was on his way to his home in Leonidas, Mich. He was 32 years of age, and, we believe, leaves a family. WILLIAM BARTER. Had made it his home here for a year past, was about 40 years of age, and a single man. He was a brother in law of Mr. Cox, of this village, and was on his way to Chicago to work at his trade, painting. During his stay here he made many friends who will regret his death. AUGUST WILDE. Was 19 years of age, and a shoemaker by occupation, but shipped as a deck hand. His father and mother live near Klimmer's farm, on the Calumet road. AMOS MYER. Was about 21 years of age, and has lived here 14 or 15 years. Was working as a deck hand on the steamer. His mother and step father live here. FRED. FLOSBACH. Was 18 years of age, has a mother and brothers and sisters living here. Was formerly employed in the Nord Westen office, and had shipped as a deck hand. HENRY NIEMAN. Was about 20 years of age, and had shipped as a deck hand. His father died about four years since, and upon him has since devolved the support of his widowed mother and younger brothers and sisters, to whom his loss will be irreparable. Those acquainted with the family speak of him in terms of the highest praise. He was honest and industrious, a dutiful son and an affectionate brother. JOHN FOUCKS. Was about 19 years of age and a deck hand. Has friends on the South side. MISS TERENE OLSON. Was born in Norway, and was aged about 33 years. Had been employed in Mr. J.C. Johnson's tailoring establishment, and was on her way to Chicago to visit some friends. Miss Oleson came over from the old country only last year. JOHN WALLA and his wife ROSALIE, with their four children, took passage on the steamer here, intending to go to Nebraska to buy a farm. They were Bohemians, only arrived from the old country last fall, and had been living during the winter in the town of Mishicott. At Milwaukee Mr. Walla got off and went up into the city to see a sister who lives there and when he returned the boat was gone. His life was thus spared, but his wife and four children, the eldest a boy 16 years of age, were all lost. The above, so far as we have been able to learn, includes all who embarked on the ill-fated steamer at this port who have not since been heard from. To the bereaved ones, whose firesides have been thus rudely desolated, will go out the earnest and hear- felt sympathies of all; but their grief is beyond the reach of human sympathy. Let us trust that He who tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb will, in His own good time, assuage their sorrow, and that they may, in time, even find a sweet though sad pleasure in recalling to memory the virtues of their loved ones, wh are "not lost, but gone before."

JANUARY 20, 1870 That turkey presented to us last week by John E. CRONIN, Esq., the whole-souled young merchant of Maple Grove, was about the nicest thing that we ever had played on. Thanks John. We have grown fat off of that twelve pounder. Draw on us when you get hungry for anything.
FEBRUARY 3, 1870 From our correspondent at Schleswig, we learn that "the Supervisors of this town have appointed Charles ZIEKE, Chairman, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of John BARTH, member of assembly.
FEBRUARY 10, 1870 The Northwestern House - We call the attention of the traveling public to the advertisement of this first class hotel in today's PILOT. Mr. Mattis KETTENHOFFEN is the proprietor, and it is the unanimous verdict of everybody that has ever stopped at his place that a better landlord never trod a dining room floor.
JANUARY 18, 1894 It is said that no one ever saw a dead mule. Dead mules and ghosts are placed in the same category, as creatures of the imagination, and yet Fred HAUKOHL is bold enough to assert that he has seen two of them within a week. They were owned by JOHN SCHREIHARDT; one died a natural death and the other broke his neck while attempting to roll over. It is unnecessary to state that Fred finds but few people that believe the story. ****** Mr. Nic TERENS' poulty yard is a delight to all who visit it. Nic has nearly every variety of chicken to show the visitor and judging by their appearance they do not want for good food and lodging. ****** Gus MEINHARDT of Centreville sold his farm of 80 acres for $4,700. He is going to leave the country. This will be cheering news to John CHLOUPEK. ****** Wm. KELLEY of Newton gets 250 lbs. of milk every second day from 7 cows. So he says himself. Put him on the program for a farmers' institute.
Manitowoc Pilot, Vol. XXXV No. 23, March 8, 1894, Page 2 Column 6 Meeme. Sarah Crowe, daughter of Michael Crowe of Liberty died last Saturday. Meeme still maintains her prestige in educational matters. The teachers meeting last Saturday reminded one of old times in the matter of attendance. Winter wheat, rye and local candidates for town offices have weathered well. A few more weeks of doubtful weather and they will all be green -- or blue. From present appearances there will not be much cheese made in the southern part of the county next season. They are all going into the butter business. Rev. Father Norton succeeded in organizing another temperance society last Sunday. An effort will also be made to reopen the library which has been closed for some time. ------------------------------ Notes from Mishicott Sleighing has disappeared. Miss Ida Pelkey has gone to Oconto for a short stay. Mr. Ernst Pfingsten has changed his horse for a team. Mr. A. Manheimer of Manitowoc was in the village Tuesday. Mr. Alex Pelkey of Oconto spent a few days in the village last week. Miss Amanda Christiansen of Manitowoc spent Sunday in the village. Mr. John Terens of Kewaunee is spending a few days among his old friends here. The sale of farm machinery is already beginning. There is an unusally large demand for this season of the year. Mr. Otto Drews spent a day or two in the village last week. Otto has not visited his old chums here for some time and they were all glad to see him. The river has been steadyily [sic] rising for some time and will soon be at its usual height. Another dwelling will be added to the hill village during the summer. Mr. Joseph Kadow has purchased a lot from Louis Levenhagen and will build on it during the summer. Mr. I. Craite, John Roemer Jr., A. H. Zander, Henry Thompson and John Laudt took a fishing trip up to Shay's Lake one day last week. The number of fish they caught seemed to have been countless. The entertainment passed off very successfully and pleasantly. All expressed themselves well pleased. Very few people from neighboring cities attended, being restrained doubtless by the poor condition of the roads. As it was, a fair crowd was in attendance and receipts well covered the expenses. It is expected that another entertainment will be given before long. *********************** Marine. Following are the arrivals and departures at this port for February: Propellers, 27; Tonnage, 20,591. Departures, same. Captains Henry and Cliff Hart were in the city on Monday. Before leaving for home they had work commenced on their boats. The Fanny Hart will receive a new boiler and will be refitted. The Moore will also receive a new boiler. The three boats will be painted. Not much work has been done in the shipyard at this place through the winter. The greater part of the work being done on boats this year is on boilers and machinery. The Charlevoix' boiler has been put in the steamer Lawrence. Richards Iron Works is putting in a new engine in the Lotus and one in the Elmer. The tug E.M.B.A. will receive a new deck and house. The City of Green Bay will receive new deck frames and alterations in the cabin. Captain Coates, her master, arrived in the city this week. Work on the Goodrich boats has already commenced and they are being put in shape for the coming season's work. Men are at work on other boats. The Naiad is undergoing extensive repairs. The Amboy has had new steel arches put in. The Burt Barnes has had a new foremast put in. The scow Success is having considerable work done on her. The L.H.Coates is likewise receiving some repairs. ********************** The old county building and the furniture of the offices which could not be used in the new offices was disposed of by auction on Saturday last. The county bid in the building for a $130 and sold it to the County Asylum for $150. This week Supt. Mueller has a gang of his inmates at work tearing down the building and removing the material. The old furniture sold brought to the county $53. The old building being removed is one of the landmarks of the city. It was built in 1860 by Ben Jones. The contract price was $2,800, but with extra work the whole sum reached $5,000. Its removal will greatly improve the appearance of the court house square as shade trees are to be put in next season. ******************* Among Farmers. A cheese factory in the town of Newton was destroyed by fire on Saturday last. "Oshkosh" the famous stallion so well known throughout the county, died at Chilton last week. He is the sire of Cato Boy, the animal which showed such phenomenal speed and bad temper on the track in this city last fall. Charles Meyers of Casco, Kewaunee county, received $321.75 for the butter manufactured by him during two months. He has a farm of 120 acres and keeps 24 cows, [sic] In addition to his receipts for butter he keeps a number of hogs on the skim milk. He spreads manure on his farm every month and estimates that this pays for the labor of caring for his cows. Ex-Governor Hoard in an address at Menominee, Wis., a short time ago, stated that one of his creameries paid a farmer who kept 19 cows, $65 per cow for the season's milk, and that the skim milk was worth $15 more in addition. Carl Pieper, brother of Rev. Mr. Pieper formerly of this city, and editor of the Nordstern offers to pay $10 towards the city poor fund if Mr. Hoard can substantiate his statement that the man referred to made $80 from the milk of each of his cows during the season. Considerable real estate has changed hands within the week. Among the conveyances are: Mich. Tentinger of Meeme sold 80 acres of land to John Rader for $4,400. August Schuette of Kossuth disposed of 80 acres of land to his son for $4,500. I.O. Berge of Liberty sold his farm of 80 acres to John N. Fylken of Minnesota for $3,000.
Manitowoc Pilot, Vol. XXXV No. 24, March 15, 1894, Page 3 Column 4 In 1889 Wm. Weiss of Cato left his home apparently for Appleton. He was soon after followed by Mr.[sic] Colbeck of the same town who took one of her children, a little girl with her. It was learned soon after that the couple had eloped. They settled in Minneapolis where they have since lived together. Mrs. Colbeck soon after quitting home regretted leaving her action, but her husband had in the meanwhile secured a divorce and so reconciliation was made impossible. Weiss left a wife and three children whom the town of Cato has been since supporting. Some time ago P.J. Cooney, chairman of Cato, had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Weiss. Sheriff Stephani secured requisition papers and proceeded to Minneapolis where he arrested Weiss and brought him to this city. Cato has already paid out over $450 for the support of Weiss's family. The Colbecks are quite respectable people, industrious and intelligent.
