MARTIN BONK

BREAKS OUT AFRESH.
Smallpox Takes New Lease on Life in the City and Claims Five Patients
DISEASE NOT STAMPED OUT.
Children in Family of Martin Bonk, Franklin Street, Afflicted -
The Home Under Quarantine.
Five children, in the family of Martin Bonk, ranging in ages from
5 to 19 years, are afflicted with smallpox and the home at the
corner of Franklin and Fifteenth streets has been placed under
quarantine restrictions that are severe in measure to prevent the
contagion from spreading outside the family. The condition at the
Bonk home was reported this morning, although the illness of three
in the family existed a week previous. There are ten inmates of the
house and the exposure has not been limited to the confines of the
premises.
Of the five patients but one has been employed in labor, the eldest
son having worked in a factory until within a few days ago. The
father is employed by a local Brewing concern and although not
himself afflicted has been exposed during the week that his children
were ill before the nature of the disease was discovered. Every
protection has been thrown about the home to confine the contagion
on the premises and it is not believed that there is any cause for
alarm. The new lease on life which has been taken by the disease is
not pleasing to health officers whose conscientious efforts it was
thought had tended to suppression of the pest. It is manifestly
evident that Manitowoc has not concluded its experience with 
smallpox and a great care should be exercised and assistance given
officers to combat the condition.
According to the report made to State Board of Health for the past
week the disease has lessened its grip on more than one hundred
patients, there being at present but 279 cases reported. Smallpox
is, however, epidemic throughout the United States and Europe and
there has been an effort on the part of health officers throughout
the countries to perfect plans that may successfully combat the
disease. All the larger cities of the East are afflicted and the
condition has become largely alarming. In Wisconsin there has been
a very successful treatment of smallpox that it is hoped will soon
eradicate it. In the meantime the public is anxiously awaiting
betterment.

FR. BORCHERDT

Obituary. 
Died, in Chemintz, Saxony, on the 4th ult., after an illness of two weeks, 
Fr. Borcherdt, aged 97 years. 
The sad intelligence of the death of our grandfather, at his advanced age, was 
not unlooked for. It seems as though by an interposition of Providence it was 
appointed that our father, after a lapse of 22 years, should again be permitted 
to see hin [sic] in the full enjoyment of health only two or three weeks before 
his death, and be present to comfort and stay his aged mother in her affliction.  
We tender our sympathy to those more directly afflicted than we in the decrease 
of one who through life was honored and beloved as only the truly good can be.

FRED BORCHERDT

Fred Borcherdt met with a slight mishap Saturday evening which might 
have proved quite serious. He was walking along Eighth street in front 
of the Guttmann building when he was attracted by some article in the 
show window. In stepping over to look at it more closely he did not 
notice an open hatchway or trap-door which had been left open a moment 
while somebody went down for fuel. The young man fell into the cellar 
and sustained severe bruises and one or two ugly cuts. But no serious 
injury was done and he may well feel thankful that his is not nursing 
broken bones.

at about $3,000 had been received and stored in the building. The

JOHN BORNESKY

TWO RIVERS IS SCENE OF COSTLY BENZINE BLAST
(Special to Press/Telegram) Two Rivers - 
A benzine explosion in the No. 1 plant of the Aluminum Goods company at 5 o'clock 
Tuesday evening did serious damage in the plant and burned three employees. The 
injured: John Bornesky - burns about face and eyes. James Teche - face, hair and 
hands burned. William Gloe - slightly burned. Benzine is employed in cleaning 
aluminum. Fortunately the amount on hand on the floor was relatively small or the 
damage would have been serious, probably fatal to many of the 45 employes in the 
room. The force of the explosion can be seen by the fact that the steel window 
frames in the room were blown out and twisted. The room measures 60 x 120 feet and 
windows on all sides were affected.

HANS BOYER

Last Sunday afternoon about thirty members of the newly organized
Cleveland Club of Mishicott marched out to Hans Boyers' superb ranch,
headed by a bugler and the Star Spangled Banner. Each man was disguised
in a white plug hat and heavily armed with a stout walking stick.  They
captured the ranch by one bold assault and then swore in Boyer as
commissary.  He had to tap about half a dozen of his best cream cheeses
to wash down the beer that they had ordered sent out from the village. 
It was really wonderful to see how much bread and cheese and beer some
of those thick waisted burghers could hold. John Terens and the Elder
Levenhagen took the prize for abdominal capacity but Isaac Craite would
have been awarded first prize if it had not been suspected that he had
not fed fair. It was asserted, and with a show of truth, that he had
not the room to hold as much as Levenhagen or Terens and therefore it
was impossible for him to have consumed as much. But "pshaw!" he said,
"a man don't eat with his belly, he eats with his mouth and I have a
bigger mouth than either of "em." Still he was ruled out by the
committee and he consoled himself with more bread and cheese and beer.
Manitowoc Co. Chronicle (Two Rivers), July 3, 1888


MR. BRAASCH

MISHICOTT
In company of Mr. Fischbein, of the Badger State Manufacturing Co., we 
took a drive into the country last Wednesday, directing our first to the 
village of Mishicott, where he made a short stop, and then proceeded to 
the beautiful and fertile farming region which lies to the north and 
east of that busy little burg. The farms located along the road which we 
traveled are said to equal any in the county in point of soil; and the 
tidy appearance of the barns and farm houses which we passed certainly 
indicated thrift and prosperity on the part of the farmers. We saw several 
fields of winter wheat during one drive which looked exceedingly fine. 
Most of the spring wheat which was up also looked flourishing.
The village of Mishicott is a handsome little town, and deserves a more 
extended notice than we are able to give it at present; but we shall 
endeavor to do it justice at some future time.  It has a good water-power, 
a flour-mill, a blacksmith shop, two churches, and a fine large school 
house. Hitching our horse at the hotel of which Mr. Damon is the popular 
landlord, we gave that gentleman a short call.  Afterwards we called on 
Mr. Heyroth, who is doing a large mercantile business there; on Selk & Son, 
who have a large store and are doing a splendid business, and on Mr. John 
Terens, who also has a large store and deals in hardware. We looked 
wistfully over the river where J. Linstedt's large brewery looms up, but 
were unable to visit the vaults as we would like to have done had we had 
time. Mr. Linstedt has the reputation of making excellent beer, and from 
the sample we got at A.C. Terens' we should say that he deserves it. Mr. 
F. Zander, owns a hotel in the village which is quite a popular resort, 
but for want of time we failed to give him a call, as was also the case 
with Mr. Braasch, who keeps a hotel and saloon on the southern outskirts 
of the village.
We noticed several new buildings, going up, which indicate that the village 
is neither dead nor sleeping, but full of life and activity.

of their parents at 7 o'clock Monday night on a tour 'of the world.' 
Hungry, foot and back sore, the two were picked up at 10 o'clock 
last night by Sheriff Beduhn and Deputy Charles Ladwig as they were 
wearily trudging their way along Highway 141 about eight miles north 
of the city at 10 o'clock last night. According to the story sobbed 
out by young Braasch, he and the Meisner boy, on a purloined bicycle, 
left the city, bound for the north. That night they reached Francis 
Creek and spent the night in the garage building of the church. 
Bright and early Tuesday morning they started for Green Bay, arriving 
there about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Meisner doing all the 
peddling up and down the hills, with Braasch uncomfortably squirming 
on the handle-bars. They spent the day in Green Bay but the pangs of 
hunger drove them homeward and they started the return trek to 
Manitowoc. Frequently drawing up their belts, as Tommy says "I tell 
you Judge, we had to pull our belts up pretty often" the youthful 
adventurers started for home but at Denmark were too tired to continue 
much father. They saw a woman and told her of their hunger and she gave 
each of them a piece of pie. Re-enforced physically and spiritually, 
the homeward ride was resumed and continued until they were picked up 
by the sheriff and brought to the city and their parents notified. 
Nothing to eat except apples they could pick up along the way and the 
one piece of pie in almost twenty-four hours after they left home is 
nothing for a growing boy according to young Braasch and he will never 
again roam, he said. And he never wants to sit on a bicycle. "I'm so 
sore from sitting on the handle bars Judge," he said this morning. 
Braasch was taken to his home by his mother but Meisner was being 
detained until it could be learned where he secured a gun and a 
revolver which he had when he left Manitowoc. The revolver was still 
in his possession when he was brought to the city. The boys slept the 
sleep of the just last night and today were none the worse for their 
experiences but are sadder and wiser boys. "They're just regular boys," 
Judge Chloupek said this morning after the story had been told.

JOSEPH BRADY, MRS.

LOCAL PEOPLE MAY SHARE IN ESTATE WORTH MILLIONS MRS. JAMES MCNULTY AND 
DAUGHTER MAY HAVE PART IN ESTATE OF THOMAS CRUSE, WEALTHY MONTANA MAN 
Two Manitowoc women may share in the estate of the late Thomas Cruse, 
millionaire mine owner and banker, whose death occurred at Helena, Mont., 
a few days ago, inquiries having been received from attorney’s in the 
west as to heirs here. The estate is said to be valued at more than 
$5,000,000 and Mrs. Cruse left no immediate family. Mrs. James McNulty, 
a pioneer resident of the town of Liberty, is an aunt of the deceased 
Montana man and with her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Brady, of this city, are 
probably among the heirs to the estate which Mr. Cruse had amassed in a 
life spent in the mining country of the west. It is understood that Mr. 
Cruse left no will, and in this event the estate will go to his nearest 
of kin, among whom are Mrs. McNulty and her daughter, who will probably 
receive a large share in the estate as it is not known that there are 
many relatives surviving. Notice of the death of Mr. Cruse has been 
received by Mrs. Brady and an inquiry will be made as to the estate 
which is represented by bank stock, bonds and ownership of mines in 
the west. 
Representatives of Mrs. Brady were not inclined to discuss the matter 
today, though it was said that in all probability Mrs. Brady and her 
mother would share in the estate. Mr. Cruse had been a resident of 
Montana for many years having located there during the early mining 
days and had amassed a large fortune. Mrs. McNulty had been in touch 
with members of her family and Mr. Cruse in late years and at his death, 
news was sent here. Inquiries are now being made by attorneys and if 
Mr. Cruse left no will local heirs will undoubtedly establish a claim 
to part of the estate. Mrs. Brady is the wife of Joseph Brady who 
conducts a milk route in the city.

JOHN BRANDT

MAN NEAR DEATH IN AUTO-MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT HENRY BURGER, MOTORCYCLIST, 
SAVED BY FACT THAT BRANDT’S AUTOMOBILE WAS RUNABOUT AND A LIGHT MACHINE 
BURGER ON WAY TO COURT FOR SPEEDING 
Henry Burger, of the Burger Ship Building company, owes his life to the 
fact that John Brandt, salesman for the Schmidtman Sons company, drives 
a light runabout instead of a heavy touring car. Brandt’s car passed over 
Burger’s body in a mishap today but the fact that the car was a light one 
saved Burger as had the car been a heavy one the young man would probably 
have been killed. 
The accident, which sent Burger to a physician with a gash in his leg and 
his body severely bruised, though his injuries are not serious, happened 
at Jay and Tenth street this morning when Burger, riding a motorcycle on 
Tenth and Brandt driving his car on Jay, turning onto Tenth came together 
when Burger attempted to circle around the automobile which turned onto 
Tenth from Jay going south. Burger was riding north on Tenth and when the 
Brandt car rounded the corner, Burger became confused and in attempting 
to avoid the automobile, ran into its path and there was a crash. 
Burger with his machine was thrown to the pavement and the automobile 
passed over his body and the machine. Had the machine been a heavy one 
Burger would undoubtedly have sustained serious if not fatal injuries. 
The motorcycle was damaged but the Brandt car was uninjured and Mr. Brandt, 
aside from a shaking up, escaped unhurt. Drivers of both machines probably 
became confused which caused the accident although according to reports, 
Burger was at fault in attempting to change his course which led Brandt 
to make a shorter turn than he appeared to have intended to do. Burger was 
assisted by Mr. Brandt and bystanders and was taken to the office by Dr. 
G.W. Patchen who happened to pass shortly after the accident. 
Though Burger was not seriously injured he is badly bruised and will be 
laid up for ten days. Burger it is said, was on his way to the police station 
in response to a notice that complaint had been made against him for alleged 
speeding. The complaint will have to wait a few days until Burger is able 
to be about.

HENRY BREMER

PART IN GERMANY, MEET HERE FIRST TIME AFTER 66 YRS.
HAPPY REUNION OF CHILDHOOD PLAYMATES, WHO ARE COUSINS, 
BEING HELD AT THE HOME OF H. BREMER, THIS CITY TODAY
Cousins and childhood playmates, who parted in Germany sixty-six 
years ago, met for the first time in more than three decades 
yesterday in this city when William Garvidenk, a prosperous farmer 
of South Dakota, arrived in the city to visit Henry Bremer, Michigan 
avenue. Another cousin of the two, Mrs. Laura Kimball of Chicago, 
is also here and a reunion that is a happy one is being held at the 
Bremer home today. 
Sixty-six years ago today Mr. Bremer and Mr. Garvidenk, cousins, 
were residents of a small city in Germany and attended school and 
played together. Garvidenk, the older of the two boys, with his 
parents, left Germany to come to America and the family later located 
in South Dakota where he has since been a resident. Mr. Bremer's 
family left Germany some time later and located in the country and 
some years ago Mr. Bremer came here to make his home. Though he had 
corresponded with his cousin, the playmate of his childhood days, the 
two had never met after coming here but a few weeks ago Mr. Garvidenk 
in a letter here, said that he planned to visit Mr. Bremer during the 
holidays and since that time the two have been planning the meeting. 
When Mr. Garvidenk stepped from the Northwestern train at the station 
here last night, Mr. Bremer, advised of his coming, was on hand to 
meet him and though the two had no idea of the appearance of the other 
there was almost immediate recognition on the part of Mr. Bremer. The 
two men, whose memory of boyhood friendship had been cherished, threw 
their arms about each other and the scene was affecting, and passengers 
at the station, who witnessed the meeting were interested in the reunion 
of the two which was revealed by Mr. Bremer in response to inquiry made. 
Mrs. Kimball who is here from Chicago to join with Messr's Bremer and 
Garvidenk in the reunion, was also a resident of Germany when the two 
men were boys. She has resided at Chicago for years and has visited 
here on previous occasions, though never having met Mr. Garvidenk since 
his departure from Germany sixty odd years ago.

A FLAGMAN NEEDED.
Last evening as Messrs. Guttman and Bresler were taking a drive they 
reached the hill by Mr. Truman's around which the railroad track curves. 
Seeing the track clear and hearing no noise of engines they trotted down 
the hill. Just as they came upon the track a hand car ran into the horse 
breaking two of his legs. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out but 
not injured. This point on the track is always a dangerous one when 
approached from the west as the hill conceals the track from the occupants 
of a vehicle on the road. A flagman is kept there at the time of trains, 
but this accident shows a guard should be constantly stationed there. The 
horse was a valuable one and belonged to Cootway and Herzog.

JACOB BREY, WHOSE CARE HAS CAUSED CONTROVERSY FOR YRS., FOUND ILL AND
HELPLESS IN HOME
Jacob Brey, a city charge, whose care has caused more or less controversy
between the city and the town of Rapids and his relatives for several years
past, was removed to the hospital Saturday when the aged man was found ill
and helpless and without food in his home on South Tenth street. Brey, who
is suffering from rheumatism, said that he had been helpless for several
days and that for two days he had nothing to eat. Report was made to the 
Poor Commissioner Walter Joyce and Brey was ordered removed to the hospital.
For some time Brey has received $10 per month from the city as a poor
charge. He owned a farm at Rapids years ago and later, it was said, was
unable to agree with his son while being cared for by Brey, Jr. The town
board and the city compelled the son to provide a certain amount for the
father's support.

CITY WILL AGAIN ASK COUNTY BOARD TO JOIN IN MOVE FOR POOR HOUSE
Situation Revealed by Brey Case Leads to Move Reviving Plan Many Times
Defeated and Poor Committee Will Have Recommendation at Next Meeting on
Subject
Declaring that the city would be ???????? ??? in event of death of Jacob Brey,
a poor charge who was ???? helpless in his home and unattended, Alterman Arthur
Schuetze  in the council last night revived the plan for a city or city-county
poor house and urged that a committee be named to take up the matter with the
county board at its session next month. Schuetze's suggestion will be taken up
by the Poor committee which will present a recommendation at the next meeting
of the council.
Citing the Brey case, Ald. Schuetze pointed out the difficulty faced by the city
in providing for its poor and said that he believed that some extablishment which
would provide proper car in cases similar to that of Mr. Brey was absolutely
necessary. Brey, who is 88, has received $10 a month from the city but this is 
insufficient to provide an attendant to look after him and when he suffered a 
severe attack of illness several days ago, he was alone and helpless and for two 
days says he was without food. The man was removed to the hospital temporarily
though it was intimated that permanent quarters could not be secured for him 
there.
The county board has on several occasions in the past defeated the city's move to
co-operate in establishing a poor house but it is said that the plan may get a
hearing at the session next month. An effort will be made at the next meeting
to outline some plan and get it before the county board, and if this fails the
city may go ahead on its own hook it was intimated.

MARION BRUDER

MARION BRUDER ONE OF FOUR IN AUTO SMASHUP
Has Skull Fracture But Now Is Out of Danger; Three Others Injured
Attending physicians at the Milwaukee county hospital today declared 
the condition of Miss Marion Bruder, Manitowoc girl who is a student 
nurse at the hospital and who received a fractured skull in an 
automobile accident near Milwaukee last night, was favorable and that 
there was no doubt but that she would recover. Miss Bruder was one of 
four people injured when a vampire driver with glaring headlights 
forced their machine into a ditch on Highway 55 a mile south of the 
Milwaukee county line, early last night. 
Forced Into Ditch. 
The machine in which Miss Bruder and her companions were riding, was 
headed south when glaring headlights of an approaching machine forced 
them into the ditch and the automobile collided with a telephone pole. 
Passing motorists took the four injured to Milwaukee hospitals. Other 
persons injured included Walter Dettman, 26, Milwaukee, fractured leg; 
Frank J. Little, 28, Milwaukee and a woman whose name was not learned 
at Milwaukee, minor injuries. All principals in the accident will 
recover, it was said at Milwaukee though first reports received here 
indicated they were in critical conditions. Miss Bruder was conscious 
today and in no danger. Miss Bruder is a Manitowoc girl who recently 
started a course in training at the Milwaukee county institute. Her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bruder are at Milwaukee today, called there

Miss Marion Bruder, Manitowoc girl who was injured in an automobile

from Milwaukee today. Her condition, according to physicians at the 
Milwaukee county hospital where she is a student nurse, remained

though her skull was believed to be fractured. It was said no question 
existed but that she would recover in a comparatively short space of

anything particularly serious will develop. From the meager information 
possible to be obtained at Milwaukee, it was evident, however, that 
physicians were worried. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bruder, were

LOUIS BRUEMMER

During the first year Manitowoc, at a distance of thirty miles, was 
the nearest market, and the roads to that were corduroys through swamp 
lands. When the village of Kewaunee was settled, the condition of 
affairs was improved but even then some farmers were obliged to carry 
to town on their backs the split shingles they had made, and receiving 
their pay in flour, return home with the sack on their shoulders. In 
the fall, supplies were laid in for the whole winter, and if ever the 
flour gave out, hand coffee mills were used to grind whatever wheat 
they might have. By far the greater part of the Bohemian emigrants 
belonged to the agricultural and common laboring classes in the old 
country." 
Another Kewaunee County informant, writing of the old times, says: 
The old settlers suffered hardships; having bought lands, and their 
funds [being] exhausted, they were compelled to carry shingles on 
their shoulders, made by hand, to Kewaunee or Ahnapee in exchange 
for the necessaries of life, traveling on foot from twenty to thirty 
miles. The writer lived in an adjoining town of Mishicott in Manitowoc 
county, in 1854, and had his feet frozen in making cord wood at 
thirty-seven and one-half cents per cord, where they charged him board 
with $2.50 per week. He was then fourteen years old, and was expected 
to earn the pork and bread for the family; he made shingles while his 
feet were healing, and after being able to walk, loaded 2000 shingles 
on a hand sled to Mishicott, three miles distant, to trade for flour 
and pork; but on trying the merchants, was sorry to find that they 
would give 'store pay' for shingles, except flour and pork, which must 
be paid for in cash; but our cash was gone; finally the merchant relented, 
and furnished me with twenty pounds [of] flour at the rate of $14 per 
barrel, and the flour was of the same quality as middlings of the 
present time. Such were the conditions in this county from 1850 to 1857; 
there was a poor market for everything.

BUETTNER, DELBERT

ALCOHOL STILLER KILLS PARTNER
Frank Mesaros, aged 32, shot and killed Delbert Buettner, aged 30, his partner in a big whiskey still they were operating in the former John Hall warehouse on a river front lot at the foot of North Sixth St., last Saturday morning about 1:30 o'clock. Stephen Mesaros, aged 19, a brother of the shooter, witnessed the killing. He pulled the dying man into a room and drove off to Milwaukee and consulted Miss Sabina Salapa, aged 23. She returned with him to Manitowoc and the pair reported the shooting to the local police station about 9:30 am. The first intimation the local authorities had of the happening eight hours before. They found the body of Buettner and Coroner Kemper said that he had been dead several hours at least.
Frank Mesaros, the killer, fled immediately after the shooting and was picked up by Milwaukee police Saturday afternoon. He had driven to Milwaukee to the home of a friend, Lillian Dahl, where the police found him. He was reported as saying to the police, “I shot him when he was coming after me. I was sitting in my car when I shot him. We had been quarreling all Friday and Friday night. He wanted me to get out and sell the alcohol. I had to work hard running the plant.” Stephen Mesaros was detained by the police here as a witness and Coroner Kemper ordered an inquest. The Sheriff drew a venire composed of Joseph Kellner, Fred Heidemann, Walter Golding, Dr. A.F. Rank, John Luther Jr.,and Walter Braun. They were sworn in in view of the body and adjourned until the District Attorney would be ready.
Young Mesaros said that his brother and Buettner came to Manitowoc about the middle of August and built the three large vats and put up the still. The warehouse was about half filled with equipment. The elder Mesaros is a steam fitter and he did all the piping work. They had a capacity of $10,000 gallons. They began operations about ten days before the shooting with the elder Mesaros evidently doing the cooking and Buettner making outside contacts. They lived in the place.
In the inquest Monday morning, the witnesses were Dr. R.W. Hammond, City Detective Frank Tomchek who went to the scene and found the body, Stephen Mesaros and Miss Salapo, who accompanied Stephen back to Manitowoc. Young Mesaros told of the shooting. He pulled Buettner into the warehouse and in a panic told his gun man brother to beat it. He told of fleeing to Milwaukee, taking side roads to avoid meeting his brother. He went to the girl's home and she urged him to return here and report. When he went to the warehouse, Buettner's body was twenty-five feet away from where he had left him. The coroner's jury was out fifteen minutes and returned a verdict of finding, in effect that Frank Mesaros killed Buettner by shooting.
Frank Mesaros was brought from Milwaukee Sunday afternoon and talked freely to police and reporters. He denied any intention of killing Buettner. He aid thatt hey had been quarreling all day Friday and that in the evening Buettner had been vicously upbraiding him and threatened him over the business conditions and quality of his product. Mesaros was in the automobile when he got the impression that Buettner standing outside the warehouse door nearby, was reaching for his gun. Mesaros then shot once. Policean Joseph Smrz came along presently and the killer chatted with him for fifteen minutes, he said with Buettner dying inside the door. He then tried to get in to see if Buettner was badly hurt and found the doors locked. He then drove to Milwaukee. He said both had had a few drinks but were not drunk. When he went he did not think Buettner could be seriously injured and when two newspaper reporters called on him at Milwaukee, he disbelieved their statements that he was dead and readily accompanied them to a police station. Mesaros was arraigned in Municipal Court Monday afternoon on first degree murder charge. Two Milwaukee lawyers were apparently quarreling over the right to represent him and he said he wanted Attorney Bernard Klatt of Milwaukee. He pleaded “not guilty” and the examination was continued until Oct. 2. His attorney indicated that his defense would be self defense. Young Mesaros was held under $10,000 bond as a material witness. The still was dismantled by federal agents Monday. The stuff in process was destroyed and the metal parts sold to a junk man. The killing gave the first intimation to the owners of the place that the premises were bien g put to any unlawful use.

********
THE MURDER CASE
The case of the State vs Frank Mesaros, charged with first degree murder, occupied the time from Wednesday noon to Friday evening. It required Wednesday afternoon to get a jury and the taking of testimony took up a day and a half. The summing up by the attorney and the charges of the court occupied Friday afternoon and it went to the jury shortly before 6 pm. The jury came in about 12:30 o'clock Friday night with a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The penalty for this is not less than fourteen years, nor more than twenty-five years in the state prison. 
The main witnesses were the defendant Mesaros and his brother, Steve. Some of the other witnesses were local policemen, a Milwaukee reporter, two Milwaukee detectives, physician and several others. The Milwaukee detectives related the story Mesaros told them of the killing when he was arrested the day after the happening. It did not vary materially from the story told by the defendant in court excepting that he did not tall the detectives what he asserted at the trial that he had been threatened by his victim, Del Buettner. Biased newspaper statements of “repudiation of his confession” were pure fabrications. He reaffirmed his Milwaukee story in every essential detail. His story at the trial was that he and Buettner were partners in operating a still in this city, on the river front at the foot of North Sixth Street; that Buettner was drunk on September 18, 1931 and continued verbal abuse all afternoon; that Buettner struck him; that Buettner said “I'll get you”; that defendant backed an automobile out of the warehouse and was in an awkward position to get away when Buettner came toward him reaching down to a leg where defendant knew he sometimes kept a gun strapped; that defendant drew his own gun out of a car pocket for use in case of necessity and raised it to menace Buettner, calling to him to keep back; that he had no intention then of shooting; that in raising his gun hand he cut or bruised his knuckles on the car window glass and the gun was unvoluntarily discharged; that he drove around the block and came back to render help and found the door locked ; that from inside Buettner said, “I'm all right”. Defendant said that he then drove off to Milwaukee, not supposing Buettner was seriously hurt. 
Steve Mesaros testified as to the threats and said that Buettner threatened “to get Frank 'right away'”
Steve was called first by the state and later by the defendant and again by the state with some apparently fine maneuvering by both sides as to his story with honors in doubt to an outsider. District Attorney Fischer for the state argues that it was a wonton killing, that by defendant's own testimony, Buettner was too drunk to be dangerous. The defendant by Attorney B.A. Klatt of Milwaukee and A.J. Wyseman of Manitowoc, argued that the menacing with the gun by defendant was in self defense and that the actual discharge of the weapon was an accident. The court defined and submitted to the jury five possible verdicts: first degree murder; second degree murder; third degree manslaughter; fourth degree manslaughter and acquittal. 
First degree murder was almost out of the case as that required premediation. A killing in the heat of passion is second degree murder. The manslaughter verdicts would come only on a finding of no intention to cause death. The jury reported 8 to 4 for second degree murder on the first ballot and had little difficulty in arriving at a verdict. Standing room in the court room was all taken during the trial with hundreds turned away.

Carl Kitzerow almost drowned in an incident on the Manitowoc River. 
The 10 year old son of Hermann Kitzerow was playing with other boys 
in the vicinity of the coal docks, which have marshy banks because 
of recent dredging. A piece of the bank gave away throwing the boy 
into the river. His comrades yelled for help and C.H. Bulthaupt, a 
guard on the coal ship, jumped into the eddy that had taken the boy. 
The effort would have been in vain had it not been for the son of 
Henry Esch, Gottfried by name, who got into a boat and together they 
pulled the unconscious boy aboard.

HENRY BURGER

MAN NEAR DEATH IN AUTO-MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT HENRY BURGER, MOTORCYCLIST, 
SAVED BY FACT THAT BRANDT’S AUTOMOBILE WAS RUNABOUT AND A LIGHT MACHINE 
BURGER ON WAY TO COURT FOR SPEEDING 
Henry Burger, of the Burger Ship Building company, owes his life to the 
fact that John Brandt, salesman for the Schmidtman Sons company, drives 
a light runabout instead of a heavy touring car. Brandt’s car passed over 
Burger’s body in a mishap today but the fact that the car was a light one 
saved Burger as had the car been a heavy one the young man would probably 
have been killed. 
The accident, which sent Burger to a physician with a gash in his leg and 
his body severely bruised, though his injuries are not serious, happened 
at Jay and Tenth street this morning when Burger, riding a motorcycle on 
Tenth and Brandt driving his car on Jay, turning onto Tenth came together 
when Burger attempted to circle around the automobile which turned onto 
Tenth from Jay going south. Burger was riding north on Tenth and when the 
Brandt car rounded the corner, Burger became confused and in attempting 
to avoid the automobile, ran into its path and there was a crash. Burger 
with his machine was thrown to the pavement and the automobile passed over 
his body and the machine. Had the machine been a heavy one Burger would 
undoubtedly have sustained serious if not fatal injuries. The motorcycle 
was damaged but the Brandt car was uninjured and Mr. Brandt, aside from 
a shaking up, escaped unhurt. 
Drivers of both machines probably became confused which caused the accident 
although according to reports, Burger was at fault in attempting to change 
his course which led Brandt to make a shorter turn than he appeared to have 
intended to do. Burger was assisted by Mr. Brandt and bystanders and was 
taken to the office by Dr. G.W. Patchen who happened to pass shortly after 
the accident. Though Burger was not seriously injured he is badly bruised 
and will be laid up for ten days. Burger it is said, was on his way to the 
police station in response to a notice that complaint had been made against 
him for alleged speeding. The complaint will have to wait a few days until 
Burger is able to be about.

CHARLES BUSSELLE

WOMAN GIVEN FREEDOM FROM MISSING MATE
Mrs. Thelma Busselle, Two Rivers, Tells Court How Husband Lied About Past Life
An unusual story was unfolded in circuit court yesterday when Mrs. 
Thelma Busselle, of Two Rivers, was granted annulment of marriage 
ties from Charles Busselle and given the privilege of having her 
maiden name, Thelma Barker, restored. Possibility of prosecution 
of Busselle, if his whereabouts become known appeared as result 
of the revelations made in the case. 
Although the marriage of Busselle and Miss Barker was preceded by 
an acquaintanceship of three years when it took place at Milwaukee, 
June 25, 1926 at the First Congregational church there, returning 
to Two Rivers to reside, Mrs. Busselle learned after the marriage 
that her husband had figured in two previous ventures in matrimony. 
Further, it was alleged, the divorce papers which Busselle submitted 
were found to have been ?doctored? probably in an attempt to quiet 
his wife?s complaint. 
Learns of Family. 
After the engagement of Miss Barker and Busselle had been announced 
to friends, the bride-to-be learned that Busselle had been married 
previously and when he was ? with this he readily admitted it but 
exhibited divorce papers apparently issued at Virginia, Minn. and 
which revealed that there was one child. Two months later when 
Busselle suddenly took French leave and deserted his bride, papers 
in his effects disclosed that there had been not only a wife and 
one child, but three children, in the former marriage. 
Communication by Mrs. Busselle with the former wife at Virginia 
brought a letter giving the information that there was another wife 
at Vinton, Oklahoma whom it was indicated Busselle had wedded after 
his marriage to the Minnesota wife. Following up the information Mrs. 
Busselle learned that Busselle had married in Oklahoma but that his 
wife there had secured a divorce June 6, 1926, which however, did 
not become effective until six months after the decree was ordered 
by the court under the Oklahoma law. She was advised by the Oklahoma 
woman that she should have no trouble in securing annulment of the 
Milwaukee marriage and that Busselle ?would not appear to contest 
it.? 
Admits He is ?Rotter? 
About this same time Mrs. Busselle received a letter from her husband 
at Waldron, Col., in which he confessed that he was a ?rotter? and 
unworthy. He admitted changing the divorce papers in the Virginia 
decree and suggested to Mrs. Busselle how to secure a divorce or 
annulment. After presentation of the evidence Judge Kirwan ordered 
that the marriage be annulled and that the maiden name of Mrs. Busselle 
be restored, that of Thelma Barker. Miss Busselle, now Thelma Barker, 
is employed in this city.

MR. & MRS. CHAS. BUTLER

Clark's Mills news:
There was a surprise party, and it surprised Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Butler. 
It is a good old sight to see so many smiling faces, old and young mingling 
together in a jolly joking crowd. Among the many smiling faces might be seen 
those, of course, grave and sedate, of Walter and Charles Green and wives, 
of Manitowoc.

JUSTICE BYRON

A Good Record.
We dropped in on Justice Byron the other day to see what the honorable 
court had done during the year. We found that during the twenty months 
he has held the office, he passed upon 438 cases, averaging nearly one 
a day. Of these only six, or little over 1 per cent, have been appealed, 
and as yet, not a single one has been reversed.
This is a record, both pleasing to George's friends as well as beneficial 
to the people. The capable work of a magistrate of an inferior court 
adds much to prevent the undue crowding of business in the higher and 
more expensive courts, thus making a material saving to tax payers.
