JENNIE DAEKE TIMOTHY MAN WANTED MARRIAGE LICENSE, DIDN’T SAY SO AND GOT HUNTING LICENSE. HURRIES BACK Albert Stock, a Timothy man, wanted a license and applied to Miss Rose Wanish, assistant at the county clerk’s office for the paper. Stock neglected to designate the kind of license he wanted and Miss Wanish, who had been kept busy for a week issuing hunting licenses, presumed that the Timothy man was to join the hunters and provided him with a permit. Stock departed with the license but a few minutes later returned, and explained that a mistake had been made in the license. He confided to Miss Wanish that he was a candidate for matrimony and wouldn’t have time to hunt this season and the hunting license was no good to him. Miss Wanish issued a marriage license and Stock departed satisfied and with the statement that hereafter he would say what he wanted. Mr. Stock is to wed Miss Jennie Daeke of this city. Miss Daeke has been employed as a bookkeeper at the offices of the Guse Lumber Co. the couple will reside at Timothy. Sept. 04, 1915, Manitowoc Daily Herald

WILLIAM DAHLMAN Wm. Dahlman Came Near Driving In the River Last Night. William Dahlman took a drive last night and that he is alive to-day is due more to the interference of bystanders than to any care of his own. About eight o'clock last night the Eighth street bridge was open to allow a boat to pass and during the time Donelson (sic) came driving down the street at a terrific pace. Although pedestrians called to him to check his speed, he paid no attention to the warning and but for the timely interference of two young men who happened to be near the bridge, he would certainly have driven in the river and another fatality would have been added to the already large list. It is claimed that Dahlman had imbibed more fully of the "joyful" than was expedient and this accounts for the reckless manner in which he handled the reins. He was locked up at Sheriff Lehrman's hotel over night and this morning he appeared before Justice Markham and paid the fine and costs, amounting to $7.07, imposed upon him by the court.

SON OF NIC. DAHM In Two Rivers two boys, a son of A. Cayo and one of Nic. Dahm, somehow got hold of some gun powder.

The other boy fared better but not without painful burns. 03 May 1900, Der Nord Westen

MR. DAMON 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. Manitowoc Co. Chronicle (Two Rivers), June 1, 1875
CARL DAMROW Thieves Caught. Six or seven weeks ago we chronicled several cases of thieving as having occurred one Sunday in the early part of the month of November. Among the sufferers was B. Reinken, who has a store and cigar factory, corner of 8th and Quay streets. Last Monday Mr. Reinken having obtained what he thought sufficient evidence for the purpose, swore out a warrant against two hoble-de-hoys, named respectively Aug. Owert and Carl Damrow. The two boys were arrested and brought before Justice Zinns. When brought up they both plead guilty to the charge of burglary. The manner in which they gained access to the premises was by breaking out a glass in the cellar window, removing the fastenings and entering the house. The boys in talking with their companions bragged of their exploit, and so the matter leaked out, leading to their detection. The amount stolen was about $12.50 first cost, and being within the jurisdiction of a justice of the peace, Mr. Zinns sent the boys to jail for three months. They are about 17 and 19 years old respectively. It is to be hoped that other parties having committed depredations can be caught and punished. Dec. 24, 1874, Manitowoc Tribune

CHAUNCEY DEBAR ONE MAN WILL LOSE LEG AND ANOTHER MAY LOSE EYE AS RESULT OF INJURIES IN QUARRY BLAST Two men may be maimed for life, if they recover from injuries which they suffered today in an explosion at the Grimms quarry of the Union Lime company, shortly before noon. The injured are: Michael Logan, leg broken and bones splintered, back injured, may have been internally hurt. Chauncey Debar, head badly cut and body bruised. One eye injured and sight may be lost. The two men were placing a blast at the quarry when in some manner the explosion occurred and they were unable to make their escape. One report is that the men struck a previous blast that had been placed in the ground and being unaware of it, were caught by the explosion. Another report is that the blast was one which the men were placing and that the explosion was premature. The explosion was terrific and the two men were hurled a considerable distance and were picked up unconscious by fellow laborers a short time later. Logan was the most seriously injured, the bones of the leg being splintered and the man suffering from other injuries which it is said may make his recovery doubtful. Dr. Kelley of Cato and Dr. Cary of Reedsville were summoned and hurried to the scene and gave attention to the injured men. Later at 1 o’clock today, the two men were brought to this city and removed to the hospital in the police ambulance. Both men are said to be married and to have been employed by the Union Lime company time. It was said this afternoon that it would be necessary to amputate one of Logan’s legs. The man’s hip was shattered. He is 45 years and unmarried. Jan. 15, 1917, Manitowoc Daily Herald

Mr. DeWane was in the city Tuesday on business and while at the Addison House waiting for his train, purchased a paper from a Herald newsboy.

Discovery of the loss was not made by Mr. DeWane until his train was well underway to Maribel but he had the conductor stop and let him off and he hiked back to the city to make search for his missing wallet, which was returned by Mr. Panosh when the Maribel man proved his property. Panosh was rewarded. Feb. 11, 1915, Manitowoc Daily Herald

H, stories of the wonderful resources of the new country and of its advantages in the mercantile line, have been rife, but until the present we have been unwilling to accept these statements and were more than willing to believe that they were but the jokes of the boys or else creations of a disordered mind. Now, however, we are willing to admit we were mistaken and stand ready to accept any statement regarding the island as "gospel truth." When a popular young man, safe in the possession of a good paying situation announces his intention of taking up his abode there, knowing all about the country as he does, then we "lay down." The attractions must be great and if success should attend him, we will be the first to advise a general emigration to the far away land. Herman Discher, the gentlemanly and accommodating prescription clerk at Groffman's drug store is the young man in question and he has positively stated to a HERALD man, that he is going. He has already taken up the study of the Spanish language and is putting in all his spare moments in becoming acquainted with the "jargon" of our recent adversaries. Mr. Discher was a member of the local militia and when the call to arms was issued by President McKinley he enlisted in the service of Uncle Sam as a musician. He followed the fortunes of the company and while in Porto Rico was a member of the regimental band. He was so favorably impressed with the island that he was loath to return, but necessity demanded that he should, and since that time he has been considering the advisability of returning and has at last reached the conclusion that the move is a good one. He has not determined upon the exact date, but hopes to be able to leave in a short time. Mr. Discher has been engaged in the drug business about two years and is a young man of ability. His many friends will learn of his expected departure with regret, but will wish him success in his new home. Feb. 2, 1899, Manitowoc Daily Herald

JOHN DOLE A Narrow Escape. John Dole, who was examined before Judge Anderson Wednesday and sent to St. Mary's hospital for treatment, escaped from the hospital shortly after he was brought there, and was not seen again until last evening, when he was found by Sheriff Muth and son Frank in a barn about two miles from the hospital. He had no coat or hat on and had eaten nothing, except snow, for two days. He must have suffered from the exposure, for he had scarcely any protection. He showed no disposition to ask for food or shelter and would doubtless, have perished had he not been discovered in time. He was taken to the State Asylum at Oshkosh this morning by Sheriff Muth.

MICHAEL DONARSKI Last week, when we mentioned the fact that our columns would today contain the evidence given in a scandal case of huge proportions, we are assured that the trial, already commenced would be vigorously prosecuted by the complainant and the whole truth of the matter ascertained. We almost regret to say that the affair has been hushed up but the facts in the case remain about as follows: Simon Wickorsky, Polish pastor of a church in Newton, had a parishoner named Michael Donarski arrested for stealing a note for $900. The defendant admits having the note but claims it was given him by the Reverend father as collateral security for the payment of a note for $200, bearing date Dec. 19, 1876. The latter note was given by Wickorsky to Donarski in the hope of hushing up a scandal very damagiing to the Reverand gentleman. It appears that the evidence taken before Justice W.H. Glover, that defendant's sister, Kate, had up to April last, been working in the house of the priest, maintaining very intimate relatioins with her spiritual adviser. Last April she became the mother of a child and notified her priest. That said priest at first made light of the matter, treatiing it as a matter of course. Some weeks since, the girl, her father and the defendant, her brother, sought legal advice upon the subject and notice was sent to Father Wickorsky to come and settle or suit would be commenced against him. Thereupon he gave this note for $200 which he does not deny and paid $60 on it. Wichorsky claims, we believe, that the note was given to get some one else out of a scrape but it looks rather “thin” and the impression prevails that he is guilty of the crime with which he is charged. Had the case been fully investigate there would undoubtedly have been some rich deveopments. It is bad enough as it is. Manitowoc Tribune - Thurs., Jan. 11, 1877

JOHN DOYLE ESCAPED FROM CUSTODY. John Doyle Uses His Liberty To Get Drunk. John Doyle one of Sheriff Lehrman's boarders found jail life a little too severe for his constitution and Friday afternoon decided that the weather was becoming too nice to stay indoors any longer. Doyle was left in the woodshed sawing wood to keep him out of mischief. The temptation to enjoy liberty and a drink of whiskey was too strong for him and he yielded. When his absence was discovered a search was at once commenced. An hour later Sheriff Lehrman found him down town indulging in a grand celebration and too tipsy to remember that he had escaped from the county bastile. Doyle was sentenced last month to four months for stealing an overcoat. His time would have expired in about twenty days. Mar. 11, 1899, Manitowoc Daily Herald

FREDERICK DREWS During the hoary storm of lightning and thunder on Tuesday last, the dwelling house of Frederick Drews, near Mishicott, was struck by the subtle fluid, a two year old child of Mr. Drews being instantly killed, another one was somewhat injured, and most of the family more or less prostrated. A barn a short distance from the dwelling, was also struck by lightning, and caught fire, and consumed. We have not learned the amount of loss, or whether there was any insurance. Manitowoc County Chronicle (Two Rivers), Oct. 1, 1872
JOHN DREWS Series of articles about Fire at the Star Hotel FIRE WAS WORK OF INCENDIARY Star Hotel Barn Together With Horse, Pigs and Chickens Destroyed Incendiarism is believed to have been responsible for fire which destroyed the barn on the premises of the Star Hotel, Buffalo and Tenth Street, owned by County Treasurer, Frank Zeman, shortly after midnight Thursday. The fire loss included the structure, half of which remains standing, a valuable horse, the property of Dr. Burke, some chickens and three pigs, the last named being owned by Alex Dufrese, the proprietor of the hotel who had the hostelry under lease since the first of July last. The loss will be about $1000, the insurance of the barn being $500. Discovery of the blaze was made by Charles Reithmeyer, a neighbor and Herman Rosinsky, the latter seeing the fire as he was returning from a party and turned in the alarm to the department. From the nature of the fire, it was apparent that it was the work of an incendiary, the origin being at the northwest corner where there was nothing to start it. The belief is strengthened from the fact that last Sunday, a fire was started in an outhouse adjoining the barn but was put out before the blaze ignited the barn. The horse which was kept in the barn on the ground floor could not be sved for the reason that the fire was too hot to permit of an entrance by the firemen. Froom the indication, the poor animal made a frantic effort to save himself, the head showing bruises evidently received in effort to break loose. The carcasses of the pigs were found roasted in their pen in the basement of the structure while there was no vestige left of the chickens. Manitowoc Daily Herald – Sept. 21, 1906 ******** ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF ARSON John Drew in Jail; Suspected of Having Started Star Hotel Fire Arrested on suspicion of being implicated and having knowledge, if not being the real author, of the fire which destroyed a barn on the Star Hotel premises Thursday night, John Drew, claiming to hail from Pittsburg, is in jail to await a hearing. Drew's arrest was made on the complaint of Frank Dufrese who based his suspicion on the charge that the man visited the Northwestern Depot before the fire alarm was sent in and informed the men there and also a patrolman of the local force, of the blaze. A specific charge of arson is registered against Drew who pleaded no guilty and the case is adjourned until Friday, Sept. 28. Drew, until today, was a boarder at the Star Hotel together with his mother and one reason why suspicion has been fastened upon him is the act that on Sunday last when the first fire was discovered at that place there had been difficulty between the proprietor and the man. It is claimed by Dufrese that Drew retired Thursday evening but did not remain in bed having been seen to leave the hotel a short time before the fire occurred. It is possible that an insanity examination may be had, it being thought that Drews may be mentally unbalanced. His actions are said to have been peculiar. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Sept. 21, 1906 ******** MAY CLAIM THAT OTHERS SET FIRE Defense in Drews' Arson Case Suggests That This Will be Aim in Trial HEARING IS UNDER WAY Lines of Questioning of Drew's Attorney Indicates Unexpected Defense – Drews Pleads Innocence Suggestions that an attempt will be made to fasten the crime on some person other than the defendant were apparent in the line of defense offered in the hearing of the case in which John Drews is arraigned in municipal court today on a charge of arson, accused of setting fire to the barn on the Star Hotel premises Friday night and while nothing definite was outlined, the proceedings in the case indicate that Drews will plead innocent and at the same time will seek to implicate someone else in the crime for which he is held. The hearing opened before Judge Schmidt this morning and was continued throughout the day. The court has authority only to hold the prisoner for trial in circuit court in event that the case is not dismissed for lack of evidence. Unless Drews should plead guilty, the court has no authority to pass sentence. Drews, who was arrested Saturday, has retained Judge Isaac Craite as his attorney and entered a plea of not guilty when brought into court. Two witnesses were introduced for the state during the morning, Alex DeFraene, proprietor of the hotel, who testified to the presence of Drews at the hotel and trouble which had occurred. There were sharp clashes between Attorney Craite and Attorney Chas. Brady, who appeared for the state in the absence of District Attorney Hougan, objection being made frequently to the evidence which the state sought to introduce. De Fraene testified to many interesting facts, telling of trouble which is said to have occurred and which the state contends is a motive that prompted Drews to the alleged act. On cross examination by Attorney Craite, DeFraene became somewhat muddled and the defense secured admissions that are looked upon as material. Al. McKoegh, an employe of the W.C. Freight house who gave the alarm, was the second witness and there was another squabble on the part of the attorneys over admission of certain testimony. McKeough testified that he was notified of the fire by someone, presumably Drews, having rapped on the window of the freight house while he, other employes and Officer Menge were in the building and he telephoned an alarm to the North Side fire station. The fight of the attorneys resulted over the efforts of Atty Brady to have McKoegh testify as to whether the fire could have been seen from Tenth St. bridge. It was stated by the state's attorney that evidence would be brought in to show that Drews had declared that he first noticed the fire while crossing Tenth St. bridge. McKoegh testified that the flames were confined to the basement at the time he was notified of the fire by the rap on the window but he later said that the fire could have been seen had there been a building between the barn and his position in the freight house, this latter being made much of as a point for the defense. The defense appeared to direct the energies to the cross examination of deFraene and it was here that the suggestion offered itself that an attempt would be made to show a motive for some other person having been responsible for the blaze. The purpose was but thinly veiled and was centered upon securing testimony from the witness relative to trouble that had resulted and the ill feeling that could have been engendered. The examination of deFraene occuppied two hours of time. Victor Scott was the first witness this afternoon and the case will probably not be completed today. It is not known whether or not the defendant will take the stand, this depending on the state's case, according to Atty. Craite. The evidence in the case is circumstantial and the state is seeking to fasten the crime upon Drews through his own act and alleged statements. The prisoner is in court and appears to be little worried. His aged mother occupies a seat in the court also. Manitowoc Daily Herald – Sept. 28, 1906 ******** DREWS HELD FOR TRIAL In Jail in Default of $1200 Bond to Face Arson Charge Held on bonds of $1200, John Drews is in jail in default of bail to await trial at the January term of circuit court on a charge of arson. The preliminary hearing in the case occupied a day and a half and was ended at noon with the decision of municipal court holding the defendant to trail. Drews was on the stand in his own behalf and denied all circumstances upon which the state based its case and in telling his story intimated that he was the victim of a conspiracy on the part of others who sought to fasten the crime upon him in revenge for trouble in the past. Drews was on the witness stand for two hours and denied in emphatic, if inelegant terms, any connection with the fire. When the court's decision to hold him for trial was announced, Drews asked why, if considered guilty, sentence could not be imposed so that he could start to serve his term. Drews claims to hail from the East and was employed as a bridge worker for the C & NW on the Bay extension. Manitowoc Daily Herald - Sept. 29, 1906

IRENE DUFFY REPORT OF DEATH OF MISS DUFFY AT MILWAUKEE UNTRUE IS RECOVERING AT HOSPITAL Exaggeration of Report of Illness of Girl Led to Statement of Her Death---Friends Here Happy to Learn Report Not True Friends in this city will be happy to learn that reports of the death of Miss Irene Duffy, a former local girl at Milwaukee, published Tuesday, are untrue. Manitowoc people at Milwaukee yesterday learning that Miss Duffy, who is a patient at a hospital there, though seriously ill, is improving and is expected by physicians to fully recover.

Sheriff Lehrman and deputies J.C. Miller and Chas. Gruhly left with them in charge at noon to-day. The men have been confined in the county bastile since last May and when they saw that there was no escape, they asked for a chance to plead guilty. The sentence they were given is not a heavy one and both men seem satisfied. A touching scene was enacted at the jail this morning when the aged parents of the prisoners visited them. The mother of Dwyer requested that her son be allowed to have his photograph taken. The request was granted and Deputy Sheriff Meany accompanied the two men to Melenday & Packard's gallery. In bidding their parents goodbye, both of the condemned men expressed much feeling and the parting was tearful and pathetic. Jan. 25, 1899, Manitowoc Daily Herald ********* TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

Next he used a piece of wood. Then he tried to sever his radial arteries with a dull knife.
