A surprise party was given upon Mr. and Mrs. John Radey, Sr., at their

of the couple's fifieth wedding anniversary. The evening was pleasantly 
spent at games until midnight when a spread was served after which 
several of the members of the party furnished music. Some one suggested 
dancing and the idea was so well received that the affair continued in 
the form of a leap year party until far into the morning. A feature of 
the dancing was the performing of several of the old fashioned quadrilles 
and square dances. Joseph Rathsack of this city was one of the guests.

ARTHUR RAHN, MRS.

SHE SAVES HER CHILD 
Mother Rescues her Babe from Drowning by Prompt Action 
LITTLE ONE NEAR TO DEATH 
Three-Year Old Daughter of Mrs. Arthur Rahn Falls in River - Unconscious when Taken from Water. 
The heroism, born of a mother's inherent love for her child, coupled with a rare presence 
of mind on the part of Mrs. Arthur Rahn this morning saved her three-year old daughter 
from death by drowning. The accident, which came so near to proving fatal to the little 
life, happened in the vicinity of the home on South Seventh Street and the rescue was made 
under circumstances that would daunt the courage of many a man. With other children of the 
neighborhood the little girl was playing near a creek through adjoining land into the lake, 
and which contained water to the depth of some five feet. In approaching the stream along 
the bank, the child slipped and fell into the water, and unable to save herself, and her 
companions being too young to appreciate the danger which threatened or to lend assistance, 
the little one seemed doomed to death. The shouts of the children and the excitement 
attracted the attention of Mrs. Rahn, who apprehending some danger, rushed to the scene and 
taking in the situation at a glance, unhesitatingly plunged into the water and bore the child 
to the bank. The babe was unconscious and although a physician was at once summoned, it was 
fully an hour before resuscitation was accomplished. Some fear is entertained that pneumonia 
may follow as a result of the icy immersion which the child was subjected to. Mrs. Rahn 
experienced discomfiture from her action in entering the water, and is very nervous from the 
agonizing suspense which she labored under during the time the child was in danger.

in any Manitowoc directory)

HUGO RAHN

REEDSVILLE HAS WORST FIRE IN ITS HISTORY, LOSS $20,000 
General Merchandise Store of Hugo Rahn Destroyed Saturday Night and 
Loss is Large One 
One of the worst fires in the history of the village of Reedsville occurred 
at midnight Saturday night when the general merchandise store and warehouses 
of Hugo Rahn were almost completely destroyed, entailing a loss estimated at 
from $12,000 to $20,000. The loss is practically covered by insurance. The 
fire was discovered at 11:30 by Engineer Birkholz of the municipal lighting 
and water plant who aroused Mr. Rahn and his family who occupied rooms in the 
second story of the store building and the family escaped from the burning 
building and saved their personal effects though it was impossible to remove 
much of the furniture. A general alarm was sounded and the entire village 
turned out to assist in fighting the flames which, however, were not gotten 
under control until three hours later. Firemen worked until 4 o'clock before 
it was safe to leave the ruins. Mr. Rahn had just received a large stock of 
fall and winter goods, said to represent an investment of nearly $5,000 which 
will be practically a complete loss. The goods had not been unpacked, being 
in the warehouse at the time of the fire. The origin of the fire is unknown. 
Mr. Rahn was in the store during the early evening while business was being 
conducted and everything was all right when he closed the place for the night. 
It is expected the buildings will be replaced.

MOLLIE RAHR

MISS RAHR NOT TO LOSE EYE AS WAS REPORTED
Reports Unfounded, and Herald-News Glad To Give Real Facts of Accident
Many friends of Miss Mollie Rahr will be glad to learn that the injury which she 
received during the play. Smiles at the Capitol theater is not as serious as first
thought and that no injury to the eye was sustained. Reports today were that she had
lost sight in one eye. Miss Rahr, while taking the part of the cashier at the movie
when a band of cowboys came in boisterously, received the full charge of one of the 
blank cartridges discharged by one of the amateur actors. The latter with the rest, 
was supposed to shoot the weapon into the air as he had been drilled in practice, 
but instead discharged prematurely and the blast of powder hit Miss Rahr glancingly 
on the side of the face near the left eye. A physician was called and took out all 
the powder so that there will be little disfiguration if any and reports that Miss Rahr 
will lose her eye, the Herald-News is glad to report, are entirely unfounded. Of course 
there is no question but that the wound might have been a dangerous one. Had the charge 
been received full in the face the wadding of the blank pistol would have torn away part 
of the flesh and destroyed the optic. Miss Rahr is resting easy today and with precautions 
taken at once, with injection of anti-toxin and care of the physician for several hours, 
will come out of it nicely a fact that many will be glad to learn.

Is to Retire from Business July 1 
By the retirement of Frank Rank, Sr., from the saloon business, the number of 
thirst parlors in Brillion will be reduced from ten to nine and will never be 
ten again unless the Baker law is amended as proposed in the Stemper bill now 
before the legislature, says the Brillion News. Mr. Rank has conducted this 
saloon over thirty years and many old timers will miss the genial group that 
usually sat under the fine large box elder tree during the summer months and 
discussed crops, politics and pioneering. Mr. Rank always hated a disorderly 
customer and would not tolerate roughhouse and loud profanity in his place. 
Daily at 7 o'clock pm he closed his place of business and took his mode of 
rest or recreation twiddling his thumbs under his pet shade tree, puttering 
in his garden, or doing a little reading. He had old fashioned ideas. But they 
were good ones. Of late his health has been of the best. Mr. Rank is custodian

Ruinous Rain Storm.
Friday night a terrible rain storm visited our city and surrounding county. 
In the city itself no material damage was done, but from the county several 
accidents are reported.
A horse belonging to Gottlieb Raths, a farmer living near Neshoto, was 
instantly killed by lightning. The lightning entered the barn through a small 
hole in the roof, striking one of the two hroses standing together. The horse 
was insured in one of Mr. Kemper's companies.
The barn of John Krueger, being on the Neshoto road, was considerably damaged 
by the wind.
The grainary of Hy. Hoefner, in the town of Liberty, was struck by lightning. 
The smell of sulphur awoke the owner who found the building on fire; with the 
aid of his neighbors it was soon extinguished and no further damages done.
Several sheep belonging to a farmer in Eaton were sent to the happy hunting 
grounds by the electric fluid.
Other damages by the wind and freaks of lightning are reported from nearly all

JOHN RAU

Two Rivers' People Satisfied That John Rau, Long Missing, is Alive. 
IDENTITY IS ESTABLISHED 
San Francisco Claimant to the Name Rehearses Story of Life and Responds to All Questions. 
Satisfactory answers to questions submitted on the part of Mrs. Peter Rau and family 
to one claiming the relationship of a son, long absent from home, established beyond 
doubt that John Rau, who fifteen years ago departed from Two Rivers, still lives and 
in a few days will return to his boyhood home. When a letter was received from San 
Francisco recently and the writer made claim to being the boy who left Two Rivers on 
the stormy November night in 1885, relatives were not inclined to credit the story 
and immediately set about to investigate the claim made. A suspicious circumstance 
in connection with the case was that the writer applied for financial assistance to 
make the journey east. Several letters were written and money was at last forwarded 
to a bank at San Francisco, together with a list of questions, which the Two Rivers 
people insisted should be answered before the money was paid. The questions were of 
a character demanding personal knowledge of the early life of Rau and could be answered 
only by one acquainted with the circumstances surrounding his boyhood. When the test 
was put in operation, upon the writer of the letters applying for the money, the 
replies given were such as to establish his identity as Rau and he was given the 
money. It is expected that he is now enroute home and his coming is anxiously awaited 
by mother and brothers.

**********
John Rau, Missing Two Rivers Boy, Apparantly (sic) In No Haste To Return 
HE HAS AGAIN DISAPPEARED. 
Obtains Money Forwarded at San Fransisco and No More is Heard of Him - Where is He? 
Fifteen years absence has evidently not brought to John Rau that longing for home 
and its kindred associations that he would have his relatives believe, for despite 
the assistance given him and the assurance of welcome, by lingers away and is 
apparently loath to return to Two Rivers, the scene of his early childhood. Since 
he claimed the money forwarded him at San Francisco, no word has been received 
from Rau and he has disappeared as completely as he did fifteen years ago. 
Relatives are confident that the claim to the identity of the missing son is genuine 
and are at a loss to explain the actions that now characterize his movements. There 
is no means of locating his whereabouts and the belief is gradually gaining ground 
at Two Rivers that Rau has no intention of returning at the time he made known the 
fact of his existence. While this may not be the case, indications point to the 
truth of it and many accept it. It is barely possible that circumstances have delayed 
the journey and upon this relatives still build a hope that the missing one will 
return.

**********
GREED LEADS TO DISCOVERY
Fraud Perpetrated on Rau Family of Two Rivers Is Revealed
A greed that was not satisfied with a harvest of easy money secured 
in successful operation of a confidence game, may lead to the arrest 
of a San Francisco man, who clothed in the identity of one whom is 
believed long been dead, imposed upon the Rau family of Two Rivers.
Several months ago a letter was received by the Rau family, purporting 
to have been written by John Rau, who, sixteen years ago disappeared 
from his home in Two Rivers. The writer told of his life as a sailor 
in foreign lands and of his service in the navy and expressed a desire 
to return to the scene of his childhood home providing he was given 
money to make the journey and assured of a welcome. The conditions were 
supplied and the visit of the long absent one anxiously awaited. Time 
passed, and brought - not the relative, but another request for funds, 
which aroused suspicion and led to an investigation being made into the 
claims of the writer of the letters. The result was satisfactory as the 
party was thoroughly acquainted with the early life of the one who he 
represented himself to be. 
The second remittance was forwarded and again the anxious waiting was 
gone through. A third request or money convinced the Two Rivers family 
that the representations made were false and the aid of the San Francisco 
police was invoked to discover the identity of the operator of the scheme, 
which was evidently a game to secure money.
The report of the police investigation is that the party claiming to be 
John Rau, was known by another name in San Francisco - a name that is 
recognized by Two Rivers people as that of a former schoolmate of Rau's, 
who has been absent for years. The man could not be located, having 
evidently decided that his safety would be secure only by flight, since 
suspicion had been aroused.
Had the third request for money, not been made, it is probable that there 
would have been no investigation. The sum secured by the game was $75, $50 
having been sent at the first request and $25 on the second. The name of 
the San Francisco man is withheld from the public in consideration of the 
feelings of relatives, residents of both Manitowoc and Two Rivers.

GEORGE READ

Still another loss to the school fund arose from the repeated violation 
of the laws prohibiting the sale of forfeited lands at less than their 
original sale price. The case of George Read, of Manitowoc County, affords 
an instance. In 1854 he forfeited fifty-two lots and later repurchased 
them at $50 each. Some of these lots had originally cost him $60. A great 
fraud was perpetrated on the general public and on the school fund by the 
many violations of the law of 1855 providing that no person should at any 
sale of such lands purchase more than 160 acres of school or university lands. 
This violation was accomplished in many cases by the use of fictitious names, 
the subsequent forfeiture of bids, and then purchase by application, which 
was allowable in cases of forfeited lands. The law was also openly violated. 
Another way of circumventing the law was by offering the forfeited lands at 
auction so early the next morning that bona-fide purchasers had no opportunity 
to bid.

SIDE WALKS.-We have some excellent side walks in our village, 
but not all that our own personal convenience requires.-We wish 
walks to be extended along 7th and 8th streets, from York to Park

ED REINDL

Two Men Near Death As Car Is Turned Over
CAR LEAVES ROAD ON 141, IS OVERTURNED
Ed. Reindl and Paul Prowl Have Miraculous Escape From Death
Two Manitowoc men, thrown out of an overturned car on Highway 141, about one half mile
south of the junction of highways 31 and 141 at about 8 o'clock last night are under
care of physicians today following a most miraculous escape from death or far more serious
injuries than they received. Thumb Torn Off. Paul Prowl, 2610 Meadow Lane, passenger in
the machine which overturned had the thumb of his right hand torn off and two other fingers
are so severely lacerated that it may be necessary to amputate in order to save the hand. 
His back is also injured and he has severe bruises but it is believed that he escaped 
internal injuries. He is still confined to the hospital. Ed. Reindl, 936 North Fifteenth 
street meat market proprietor, driver and owner of the car, is expected to be able to 
retain his left ear following its being sewed in place after it was nearly severed from 
his head. When he arrived at the office of his attending physician, the ear was hanging by 
little more than a shred. A deep gash in his left cheek exposed the bone of the left jaw 
and he was otherwise seriously bruised. Suffer Blood Loss. Both men were in extremely 
weakened condition because of excessive loss of blood but this is expected to have no 
serious results. Both are resting easily today, Reindl at his home where he was taken 
this morning. Accident Theory. One of the theories of the accident is that Prowl seated 
next to Reindl, grabbed the steering wheel in the belief that Reindl was in danger of 
going into the ditch when a passing car or truck crowded them on the side of the road.  
The machine, a late model Willys-Knight touring car was steered across the highway to the 
left side of the road, went into a  five foot ditch and skimmed along that for a distance 
before it struck a fence post and it overturned. The machine was badly damaged. The two men 
were reported to have been at Sheboygan and were on their way to Manitowoc at the time of 
the mishap. Prowl employed on the night shift of the cement plant, was to have been at work 
at 11 o'clock last night and it was for that purpose that the men were returning. 
Herbert Zannacker, one of the first to reach the scene of the accident, found Prowl 
a considerable distance from the car in a field, almost overcome by exhaustion, the man, 
in his maddening pain having started to run from the scene. Mr. Zannacker drove to a 
nearby telephone and summoned Dr. F.W. Hammond to care for Prowl while Reindl was brought 
to the city by another car.

JOHN REINDL

BULLET IN HEAD
John Reindl Tries Suicide at Two Rivers But Fails in Attempt
Family troubles, coupled with the effect of a debauch, led John Reindl, a Two
Rivers man, to attempt suicide Saturday by bring (sic) a bullet into his head,
but the deed has not yet accomplished its purpose as Reindl is still alive.
The affair happened early Saturday morning, following a quarrel which Reindl
had with his wife the night previous, and early reports gave rise to a story
that the case was an attempt at murder. Dist. Atty. Hougen, who investigated
the matter, however, expresses the opinion that the wound was self inflected
by Reindl, who has been brought to the hospital here. It is thought that he
will live.

MR. REINHARDT

A man by the name of Reinhardt living on the Calumet road last week, 
attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat. His failure was 
due to the want of knowledge of anatomy as he cut an ugly gash on the 
back of his neck which if it had been placed over the jugular vein 
would undoubtedly have ended his life. Depression on account of 
financial difficulties is said to be the reason he desires to escape 
this world.

MELVIN REINHARDT

ALL IN A DAY'S WORK SAYS LIFE GUARD RESCUER
Second Boy Saved From Drowning At North Side Beach By Reinhardt
Declaring that it was "only in connection with the work I am hired 
to do," Melvin Reinhardt, youthful life guard, employed by the city 
at the northside bathing beach, refused to give any details regarding 
a rescue he made at the beach yesterday. A nine year old boy, playing 
on the pier contrary to signs posted, fell into the lake and had gone 
down twice when the life guard went to his rescue and dove into the 
water to pull him to safety. 
One Rescue Previously. 
Like an occasion last week when Reinhardt and a companion went out into 
the harbor basin to rescue two young boys who were drifting out into the 
lake on a raft, details regarding the rescue were refused. The life guard 
declared there wasn't any reason for a fuss and it sounded like bragging. 
Parents Make It Hard. 
Superintendent of Parks Edward Pasewalk said that beach conditions here 
were made more difficult because children refused to obey regulations 
and said that demands that they be enforced on the part of the lifeguards 
had resulted in parents berating guards at the beaches. The regulations 
are made for the safety of the youngsters and will be carried out, 
Pasewalk declared.

B. REINKEN

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.

terribly lacerated, making amputation necessary. The entire arm from the 
hand above the elbow was crushed, the bones protruding through the flesh.

physician could be secured and then the arm was amputated near the shoulder.

FRANK REMIKER

FRANKLIN GIRL, JILTED, ASKS FOR $5000 HEART BALM MARY WILHELM, 27, 
SUES FRANK REMIKER, 45, FOR BREACH OF PROMISE TO MARRY 
Five thousand dollars is the valuation which Mary Wilhelm a town of 
Franklin girl, places upon her affections in a suit instituted today 
against Frank Remiker, a wealthy farmer of the same town who is 
alleged by the girl to have failed to fulfill a promise made to wed 
her. Papers in the action, alleging breach of promise, were filed in 
circuit court and the case will come up at the June term next week. 
In her complaint Miss Wilhelm, who is 27, says that she was engaged 
to Remiker, but that the wedding date was deferred from time to time 
by the defendant and that he has now refused to marry her and she asks 
the court to award her judgment in the sum of $5000 for her blighted 
hopes. 
Remiker is a prominent farmer of Franklin and a bachelor, aged 43. It 
is alleged by the plaintiff that she became engaged to him nearly three 
years ago and fully expected to be his wife and had prepared for the 
marriage but that Remiker postponed the event from time to time until 
last fall when following the birth of a child, he refused to fulfill 
his alleged promise and has continued in that refusal. The action is 
the first breach of promise suit instituted in the Manitowoc county 
courts in several years and will attract considerable interest, both 
parties being well known in the section in which they reside. 
The plaintiff is the daughter of a well known farmer of the town. Atty. 
A. P. Schenlan appears for Miss Wilhelm and Atty. Isaac Craite for the 
defendant.

THIS IS SOME WELL ON RHODE FARM; NEWTON 
Depth of 268 Feet and Flow of Water 30 Feet Above Surface 
There is "some" well on the Edward Rhode farm in the town of Newton, just 
completed by Andrew Phillips and the William Kenie Co., of Cleveland, 
drillers. The well is a depth of 268 feed (sic) and the water shot thirty 
feet above the surface, threatening to flood the entire farm. The Cleveland

HARRY RICHARDS

JOYS FRIENDS KNEW NAUGHT OF 
Harry Richards Weds Dakota Bride And Keeps Marriage A Secret 
A desire to marry without the fuss and flummery incident to the 
fulfillment of the obligations imposed upon the benedict by society, 
led to the surprise which was sprung upon friends of Harry W. Richards 
yesterday, when he arrive in the city accompanied by a bride. For 
several months Mr. Richards has been a student at Dixon College, Dixon, 
Ill., and it was here that the event, which has just been announced 
was consumated(sic). There is a tinge of romance to the marriage of 
the popular Manitowoc youth, which took place at Dixon, November 2, 
1900. The bride Miss Mabel E. Alexander, of Fargo, N.D. was also a 
student at the college. Mr. Richards attended and a mutual admiration 
awakened upon first meeting was engendered to love by the associatious 
of school life and as was natural, the young people yielded to the 
dictate of the little God, and started on the roadway of ??????? bliss. 
The affair was kept a profound secret and not until Tuesday was friends 
made aware of ??. The young couple arrived in the city at noon Tuesday 
and are guests at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
Richards, Seventh and Park streets. They will take up their residence 
here, where Mr. Richards will be employed in the office of Richards 
Iron Works. Though chagrined at the neat manner in which they have been 
fooled, friends of the young man will extend a cordial welcome to his 
bride and unite in wishing them all happiness. The bride chosen by Mr. 
Richards is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Alexander, of Fargo, N. D. 
and is an accomplished young lady of great personal beauty who will be 
given a warm welcome to social circles of the city. She is a graduate 
of the Chicago Conservatory of Music and was later a student at Dixon, 
where she met her husband. The groom has always resided in Manitowoc 
and is a young man who the Gods have favored. He is popular with young 
and old and his success in life is now the chief desire of his friends.

WILLIAM H. ROBINSON

FARMER THROWN FROM WAGON MAY BE FATALLY HURT
WILLIAM ROBINSON, ROUTE 7, NEAR DEATH'S DOOR AS RESULT OF INJURIES 
IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT SATURDAY NIGHT
Thrown from his wagon when his team became unmanageable and ran away 
Saturday night, William H. Robinson, a prominent farmer residing on 
Rural route No. 7 from this city, sustained injuries from which he 
may not recover. While Mr. Robinson today showed some improvement he 
is in a precarious condition. 
Mr. Robinson sustained the fracture of two ribs, had his leg broken 
and his body severely bruised in the accident which happened while he 
was en route to the city with a load of grain. The team, which was a 
young one, took fright and in a mad dash became unmanageable and Mr. 
Robinson was thrown from the wagon into the roadway. He was picked up 
unconscious and taken to his home. Owing to the fact that the team in 
its flight collided with a telephone pole, breaking the wires it was 
impossible to get into communication with the city from the Robinson 
farm and a call was dispatched to Mishicot for a physician. 
Mr. Robinson was made as easy as possible in the meantime but was 
suffering greatly. His injuries were attended by the physician and 
reports today say that his condition is as favorable as could be 
expected but that he is not out of danger. It is said that Mr. Robinson 
did not sustain internal injuries aside from the fractured ribs. Mr. 
Robinson is 55 years of age and is well known in the city and county. 
He is a cousin to Thomas Robinson of this city.

Louis Rod, who makes his home with the family of John Espen on

payment as the result of a little misunderstanding he had Tuesday 
evening. Louis is of a happy-go-lucky disposition and when he gets 
on the outside of a few beers it is almost impossible for him to 
restrain his joy. Tuesday evening he was about town with the boys 
and he went just a "few." He returned to his boarding place rather 
late in the evening and became quite hilarious. He danced, sang 
and in fact did most everything that could be imagined. The songs 
he warbled didn't suit Mr. Espen and he requested him to "dry up." 
This was more than Louis could stand and he made a pass at John, 
and a fight was the result. A warrant was sworn out for his arrest 
on a charge of asault and battery and he was brought before Judge 
Craite yesterday afternoon, found guilty and in default of money 
to pay a fine, he was sentenced to "do" sixty days time.

Carl Roeser, Sr. went to Wisconsin in 1850; was engaged in editing

until late in 1853. Early in 1854 he went to Manitowoc and there 
began publishing and editing the Wisconsin Democrat, a German paper, 
in support of the Free Soil party. In July, 1854, Mr. Roeser 
participated in the State Mass Convention at Madison in which the 
Republican party was born and baptized, and his paper thenceforth 
advocated the principles of the new party, it being the first German 
paper in the Union to do so. In 1855 he was the Rpublican nominee 
for state treasurer. Mr. Roeser has been here since 1861, most of 
the time employed in the third auditor's office, where he is now 
located. For several years past he has been the editor of a German 
Republican weekly, published in Washington, called the Volks Tribune.

THOMAS ROHDE

A ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rohde met with a serious accident on
south Twentieth street at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The boy was playing with
a twenty-five cent revolver, put in some B B shot on top of a 22 caliber blank
cartridge and while trying with the "pop" shot himself just above the knee of
the left leg. The injured one was taken to the doctor's office and the shot
extracted. It is feared that the results may be serious.

MATTHIAS RONEK

FARMER MEETS A HEAVY LOSS.
Matthias Ronek, Town of Two Creeks, Burned Out of House and Home.
Fire which visited the farm premises of Matthias Ronek in the town of Two 
Creeks, five miles north of Two Rivers, this morning destroyed the house, 
barn, granary and other buildings on the farm and entailed a loss of nearly 
$5,000, on which but small insurance was carried. Little of the contents of 
any of the buildings was saved, the flames spreading rapidly and burning 
fiercely. The origin of the fire is unknown, although it is thought to have 
started from coal ashes which had been dumped near an outbuilding. Neighbors 
who saw the flames from a distance, hastened to lend assistance but the means 
at hand was in effectual to combat the flames, and the heavy loss was 
accomplished in very short time.

THE POST OFFICE ROBBERY.
We mentioned in Saturday's paper the arrest of a clerk in the Manitowoc 
Post Office on a charge of robbing the letters which passed through the 
office. Mr. Wittman has furnished us with the following statement in 
reference to the affair, which we publish for the information of those 
interested.
It seems that only registered letters were robbed, unless there were 
some other means of ascertaining that money was sent in them, another 
proof that the present system of registering is merely a nice little 
plan for showing a thief where to find the money.
It seems that Mr. Wittman, P.M. having occasion to make out his report 
to the Department, on Saturday July 3d, was in the act of throwing the 
concept into the stove, when he discovered two packages of the New York 
Staats Zeitung ready to be consumed. Mr. W. attributed this act to 
carelessness, or want of inclination or time to distribute them on the 
part of Rose, and discharged him forthwith. But immediately upon his 
discharge, Mr. Jacob Stephani, who lives six or seven miles in the 
country, heard of it, and hurried to town to find Mr. Wittman, to whom 
he related the following facts: On the 15th of December, Mr. S. had 
mailed a registered letter containing $11, to Wolf River, Kewaunee Co., 
which Rose entered on the Register book as usual. Mr. S. shortly after 
received a letter from Wolf River saying, that his letter had not been 
received and immediately went to Rose, who said the letter had certainly 
been sent, but he would write on to the P.M. at Wolf River and see about 
it, although he had no business to conduct any correspondence connected 
with the Post Office business, and contrary to Mr. Wittman's repeated 
instructions, who alone attends to the correspondence. Mr. S. again 
called on Rose, and this time told him he should see Mr. W. in relation 
to his letter and money. Rose objected to this, and told Mr. S. that 
he (Wittman) would be angry, &c., and finally said he would pay him 
the money out of his own pocket, and on the next Sunday, did pay him 
$6.00 of it. On examining the books, Mr. W. Found that Rose had marked 
an "R" on the margin, indicating that the letter had been "received," 
at its destination, although the letter never left this place, as the 
postmaster at Wolf Rivers says he never received it, and other 
circumstances prove his statement. This is only one case in many. A 
poor woman, whose husband is in Milwaukee, laboring by the day, and has 
been in the habit of sending home three dollars a week to support his 
family, is among the sufferers, the letters being deprived of part of 
the contents in this post-office. Mr. Richter, wishing to send home the 
daguerrotype of his family, over a year ago, gave them to Rose to forward 
them to Germany. Rose stopped the correspondence between Mr. Richter and 
his father, averring all the time that the daguerrotypes had been sent, 
but finally handed them back to Mr. R. a week or two ago in the same 
condition they were in when given to him to forward to Germany. Mr. 
Wittman showed us several statements, of different persons who had lost 
money and drafts, which were sent in registered letters, and which were 
undoubtedly abstracted by Rose. The amount stolen is not known although 
several of our citizens are losers by his dishonesty. Rose will be taken 
to Milwaukee, and tried before a Commissioner appointed by the Department 
for that purpose.

ISADORE ROUSSE

Two Rivers section:
FIREMEN UNEARTH 100 GALLON STILL AT SOUTH SIDE FIRE
BASEMENT OF ROUSSE HOME A DISTILLERY
Owner Frantically Working to Put Out Flames As Firemen Arrive-
Faces Prosecution
When firemen responded to a south side call Sunday morning at nine 
o'clock at the home of Isadore Rousse, 2504 Thirteenth street, they 
found Rousse working frantically in a secret compartment of his 
basement, trying to extinguish a fire that started from a defective 
100 gallon still and which he hoped to prevent the firemen from 
unearthing. In so doing, he was quite badly burned about the face, 
arms and chest and is under the care of a physician today. Police 
Chief Schroeder and his men as a result of the fire discovered one 
of the largest whiskey stills that they have dug up since the 
Volsteadt law went into effect and also gathered in some 13 gallons 
of liquor. However one ten gallon keg disappeared. While they were 
loading the liquor on to a truck of the street commission following 
the putting out of the fire, some thirsty bystanders made way with 
a ten galllon keg and a further search of the vicinity failed to 
locate it. 
To Prosecute Rousse. 
Rousse, who in addition to suffering severe burns, also had a badly 
sprained ankle, will be prosecuted on a charge of manufacturing 
moonshine. He may be brought up late today or if his burns are too 
severe he will be allowed to remain at home until it is possible for 
him to appear before Justice Larkin. The still was removed from the 
basement together with all the coils and the other apparatus and 
brought to the basement of the fire station for evidence. The ten 
gallon keg as well as three gallon glass containers, all filled, 
were brought in the police station and locked up. The alarm of fire 
was sent in by neighbors shortly after nine o'clock Sunday morning, 
when they noticed smoke pouring from the Rousse home. The still was 
located in a secret basement compartment with but one entrance by a 
cleverly concealed window let down by a secret trap from the inside. 
This trap was sprung by means of a rope concealed in a corner and the 
location of which was known only to Rousse. It was a certainty that 
no federal agent would have discovered the location of the still. 
Denies Selling Stuff. 
The still proper was shaped like a small cheese vat and was made of 
copper. It was so constructed that it could not be cleaned and so the 
brand of moonshine would hardly be of the best. When questioned by the 
police Rousse denied having sold any of the liquor as yet. He said 
that this was the third batch he had made. He heated the still by 
means of a five burner gasoline stove. Both Rousse and his wife work 
during the week. They have four children. Sunday he works at his still. 
Earlier in the morning he had gone to the basement and started the 
still operating and then gone upstairs for breakfast. During this time 
the woodwork caught fire and when Rousse went back to work he found 
the flames beyond his control. The neighbors summoned the firemen and 
when they got there they found Rousse making a valiant effort to put 
out the fire before they arrived. He realized that his secret would be 
discovered as soon as the firemen entered the secret basement compartment. 
Police Are Called. 
When the flames were controlled the police were summoned and took charge 
of the still and the moonshine stored in the basement. It was while 
moving it to the police station that one of the two ten gallon casks 
mysteriously disappeared. It is probably stored in some south side cellar 
by this time. The still in the basement of the fire station was the magnet 
that attracted large crowds to view the contraption. Rousse insisted that 
he had not sold any of the manufactured liquor. The fire loss Sunday was 
small.

to pieces, the oil taking fire and rapidly spreading the blaze through the 
inflammable material with which the barn was filled. A few chickens and hogs 
were lost, together with grain and hay. The boy was slightly injured in

C.L. RYDER

MANITOWOC AT MILWAUKEE.
SOME OF THE CLIPPERS WHO NOW RESIDE IN CREAM CITY.
Roaming around Milwaukee one afternoon of last week, we came across many whose 
faces where familiar; and thinking their fortunes might be of interest to our 
readers, we jotted down the names of some:
C.L. Ryder, whose familiar face so many of our citizens miss, is now engaged at 
the general offices of the M.L.S. & W.R.R. and will undoubtedly make his mark in 
railroad circles, before he "shuffles off this mortal coil."
