KAFTANSKI, ROBERT

Robert Stephen “Bob” Kaftanski, 76, died on March 26, 2018. A celebration of 
Robert's life will be at Camp Sinawa, 9113 Sinawa Road, Valders on Sunday from 
noon until 6 pm. The ceremony will be at 1 pm and at 5 pm a Vikings sendoff 
will be given on Pigeon lake if the ice is melted. Robert was born on Nov. 2, 
1941 and was known by many names, Bobby, Egor and Ski (Army), Ragar Ravensfriend 
(SCA), Ghengis Bob (board game design) and “that guy in all the armor on the 
bridge” (Ring game).
Bob worked many years as a machinist starting in the shop that his father, Hubert 
“Babe” had in Sheboygan County. After he returned from serving in the U.S. Army 
in Germany and Vietnam, his machinist career led him to spend many years at 
Harpsen Manufacturing and the union there and he eventually moved to the Valders 
area. He was the Liberty town Constable, dog whisperer, school bus driver and 
chess coach at Valders High School. He also ran the town recycling center and 
always tried to find a home for the unloved, including appliances. For several 
decades there was a strong resemblance in the minds of the children all over 
Manitowoc county between Bob and Santa Claus, which he encouraged. In recent 
years, Bob moved to Baraboo to be closer to his son, Stevie and live with his 
daughter, Robin's family. 
Bob was a lifelong fisherman and hunter and was never happier than when posting 
out in the snow back by the Pines at the Heidts by East Friesland. When hunting 
season was over, markmanship and games kept him in the field, so he didn't need 
to stop hunting. If no one was available to play white, he always had a book in 
his back pocket. Bob discovered the Society for Creative Anachronism in the late 
1980's and instantly realized it had been invented just for him.
He worked at “filling out his dance card” in turn; mastering archery, thrown 
weapons, heavy weapons (Big rattan sticks usually heavier the better), fencing 
and car packing. Being less physically able in later years just meant more fighting 
attachments on his wheelchair. Recently he discovered board game design groups 
(proto spielers) of Milwaukee and Madison and was an official play tester of several 
published games. Most recently, Bob found that he could convince nearly everyone he 
knew to put on armor and run around Governor Dodge State park several times a year 
as part of the Ring Game. While the use of tech is mostly forbidden, he inspired 
them to add an exception for electric wheel chairs and they were inspired by seeing 
him continuing to come out to play.
He often had no problem believing strongly in two ideas that other people think are 
contradictions. He was the most courteous and chivalrous person but did not hold with 
any form of privilege. He was raised Catholic but strongly adopted elements of 
Buddhism, Druidism, Paganism (general and specific), Tengrism and especially the 
Norse gods, Thor and Odin, who he strongly resembled. Lightning bolts, ravens, wolves, 
dragons and Army symbols were a big thing for him. He was the embodiment of generosity 
and strength, kindness and righteous indignation, chivalry, acceptance and encouragement 
of everyone and will long be loved and remembered.
He is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Robin Stephanie (DeWalt) and Michael and 
his grandchildren, Lily and Ryan from Pamela Juanita (Kohne) and a son and daughter-in-
law, Stephen “Stevie” Kaftanski and Cindy (Hanson) and his granddaughter, Maia 
(boyfriend Ty) and a great grandchild, Makaiah from Ann Selby (Johnson). Also surviving 
are two sisters and their families, Patricia “Tish” (Ballhorn) and Bill and niece, 
Shannon (Wagner) and Nick and great nieces, Rowan and Margo and Mary (Sanger) and Bob 
and nephew, Matthew Erbstoessen and Daniela and a brother, Michael Victor “Mike” Kaftanski 
and his great niece, Nedra. He was preceded in death by his mother, Eleanor (Heidt) 
Kaftanski, Michael Kaftanski and Pamela (Kohne) Kaftanski. Also surviving are cousins 
including Kaftanskis and Heidts, who are like brothers to him and little sisters, Maureen 
(Bonde) and Victoria “Vickie” (Sukowski).
Everyone's kids were like his own, including Jess Robley's Corbin, Arden and Idella with 
whom he got to spend a great deal of time lately and Steve's sister, Alice who was like 
Robin's sister too. He is also survived by friends in unions and in SCA and board gamers, 
especially Baraboo's “Labyrinth” and Manitowoc's “My Parent's Basement” and Ring gamers 
and Army buddies, calling them my “brothers” regardless of gender, rank or station. He 
was endlessly pouring over pictures of everybody he knew to keep his memories as sharp 
as he could.

body in the cemetery. He was unemployed and had no relatives here.

(From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 23 Sept.) 
The burial of Wenzel Karban, whose death we reported last week, took

He was an only son.
Der Nord Westen, 26 Sept. 1895 
*******
V. KARBAN (sic) of Two Rivers committed suicide in the cemetery at that place on 
Monday last. It seems he had fallen in love with his employer's daughter, but she 
did not return his affection. Last July he went to Chicago, but returned last week 
and renewed his attentions to the girl, but without success. He became despondent 
and on Monday morning borrowed a shot gun from his roommate, stating that he was 
going hunting. He left a note, however, on his wash stand announcing his purpose 
to commit suicide and requesting that notice of his death be sent to his relatives 
in Chicago. While on his way to the cemetery he dropped into the house of a friend, 
wrote a note to the girl he loved, in which he told her where his body would be 
found, and sent the note by a little girl. Word was sent back that the girl to whom 
he had written wanted to see him. The little girl went into the cemetery to find 
Karban but he had already shot himself through the heart.
Manitowoc Pilot, September 19, 1895  P. 3
*****
A TWO RIVERS SUICIDE
V. Karban, A Young Bohemian Ends His Life with a Shot Gun
Disappointment in Love Said to Be the Cause
Yesterday just before noon, word was received in the city that a 
young man had committed suicide out in the public cemetery. 
Upon investigation the young man proved to be V. Karbon, who 
recently arrived here from Chicago, but who, for two years previous 
to July last, lived in this city and worked for Mr. Gebode at pearl 
button making. While working for Mr. Gebode he fell in love with 
the pretty daughter of his employer but it seems that his love was 
not reciprocated. At any rate, he left the city during the month of 
July and went to Chicago where his mother and step father reside 
with the intention of remaining there. But his attachment to the 
girl brought him back here some time last week and he renewed 
his suit but without success, as the sequel shows.
Yesterday morning in a fit of despondency, he borrowed a shot 
gun from his roommate for the purpose of going hunting, he said, 
but he had another object in view. Before he went out to the cemetery 
where the rash act was committed, he left a note on the stand in his 
room directed to his roommate to which he stated his intention of 
ending his life and joking that his relative in Chicago be notified 
of his death. Then he started for the cemetery but on the way he 
stopped at the house of a friend and wrote a note to the girl he 
loved telling her that his body could be found under the big willow 
in the cemetery. This note he sent by a little girl and then went to 
the cemetery where he promptly ended his existence according to 
his promise.
The little girl delivered the note and was told to go back and tell 
the young man who sent it to come to the house as someone wished 
to talk to him. The little girl went to look for him in the cemetery, 
where she had seen him enter and discovered him sitting upon a 
settee under the willow. She saw, before she got very near him that 
something terrible had happened and became frightened and ran 
away. As it happened, she met L. Hartung, the florist, and told him 
that some one had shot himself in the graveyard. Mr. Hartung went 
to the spot indicated and found that what the little girl had told him 
was ture and so he went to his house and telephoned the authorities 
what had happened. In a short time a large crowd gathered at the 
cemetery to see the remains but no one was allowed to molest them 
until they had been viewed by the coroner's jury which Justice 
Gagnon shortly summoned for the purpose. Of course there was 
only one conclusion that the coroner's jury could come to and that 
was that he came to his death by his own act. He had evidently 
placed the gun he had borrowed close up to his body aiming in the 
direction of his heart and discharged the gun by touching the trigger 
with a twig which he had broken from the willow. His clothes and 
body were blackened and burned by the powder and the wound was 
a terrible one. Death must have resulted instantly as his heart was 
penetrated by the charge of shot from the gun. He was known here 
to most people as Wenzel Vachol, the name of his step-father.

JOHN KEIFLER committed suicide on Friday afternoon in the stable loft of the St.

he sustained some injuries about the head, and being a little weakminded before 
he has been worse since. About three o’clock the proprietor of the hotel wanted 
the hostler to do something and being unable to find him went on the barn loft 
where he saw a body suspended. He told Charles Shove and they proceeded to the 
loft and found it was Keifler. He had tied the rope to a rafter and threw himself 
forward. The rafter from which he was suspended was so near the floor that the 
knees of the suicide touched the floor.
Keifler was insane, and his insanity took the form of being smitten with women. 
Last year when a soiled dove was in a local court for sentence, Keifler entered 
and agreed to marry the girl if all proceedings were stopped.

Joseph Kerling, of this city, died at the residence of J. W. Pitcher, on

taken care of as long as he lived. It comes to light now that the property

KLOPF, JOHN

(From the correspondent in Two Rivers, 11 Mar.) 
A large funeral was held here, that of 90-year old J. Klopf, who 
formerly worked as a turner in the chair factory and later operated 
a farm in Town Two Rivers. When he became too old he sold the farm 
and went to Milwaukee to live with his son Lorenz, in whose residence 
he died. His body was brought here and the viewing was held in the 
residence of another son who resides locally and who is married to 
a daughter of Gottlieb Karnovsky of Manitowoc. The deceased was also 
a skilled musician and a member of Bieling’s Orchestra. He was also 
a devoted member of the Catholic Church and sang in the choir for many 
years. The funeral was conducted from that church with a large number 
of vehicles in the procession.

KLOZINSKY, GUSTAV

MIRROR USED TO AID IN SUICIDE
Gus Klozinsky, Newton Farmer Gazes in Glass As Fatal Shot Is Fired.
BUSINESS LOSES, CAUSE
Series of Misforturnes Prompt the Deed Which was Long Premeditated-
Formerly a Resident at This City.
Business reverses which in the last few years has caused him the loss of the 
greater share of his property, prompted the suicide of Gustav Klozinsky, a town 
of Newton farmer who ended his life on Tuesday with a bullet in the brain. Long 
premeditated and oft times threatened, the deed was not entirely unexpected by 
members of the family who heard the fatal shot and immediately discovered the dead 
body. Klozinsky was seen to enter the wood-shed which adjoins the house, with a 
small hand mirror and the revolver with which he committed the deed must have been 
concealed about his person at that time and although it was thought strange that 
he would take a looking glass into the shed no suspicions were aroused because of 
the fact that the weapon was not seen. Within a few minutes the report of the pistol, 
a 32 calibre one, was heard and no further doubt existed as to the object of the 
man's visit to the outbuilding. Fearful of the grewsome sight which it was expected 
would meet their gaze, members of his family were loath to break open the door to 
learn the awful truth and a constable living within a short distance was summoned 
to enter the place. Leaning upon a stool with the right hand tightly clasping the 
revolver and a gaping, bleeding wound in his head. Klozinsky was found stone dead, 
the bullet which had lodged in his brain, effectively accomplishing his end. The 
purpose of the mirror was explained in the fact that its position on a table denoted 
that it had been used to reflect his position and made doubly sure the killing 
process. A wife and four children survive to mourn him.
Klozinsky formerly resided in this city, his occupation being that of a laborer. 
Believing that he could better his position, he moved to Nordheim two years ago where 
he purchased the Weber Bros. store and saloon, going into debt by so doing. Prosperity 
did not follow, however, and soon after he again changed residence selling the property 
at a loss of over $2,000 and purchasing the saloon of Charles Rick, near St. Wendel. 
Here, also, he was unfortunate and after a short period, during which creditors began 
to pursue him he gave up the struggle and ended it all, as told.
Afflicted by a nervous disposition and of hasty temperament, the suicide had often 
threatened to kill himself and especialy was this true when in outbursts of passion 
he would rail against Fate and his adversities. Given to brooding over his misfortunes 
and trials the man would suffer aberation of mind for long periods and it was during 
one of these spells that the deed was committed.
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Wednesday, June 22, 1904 P. 1
*********
On Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock Gustav Klozinsky, who ran a saloon 
in Centerville, killed himself by a shot in his head. In former 
times Klozinsky had run a farm in Kossuth, but later moved to 
Manitowoc. Some time ago he had bought the place of the brothers 
Weber in Nordheim at a rate of $3,500 but was soon very happy to 
be able to get rid of it for $1,500. A few months ago he had bought 
the place of Rieck’s in Centerville – again at a high rate. On 
Monday he drove through the neighborhood and stuck bills concerning 
a picnic which he was supposed to arrange. Back at home at night he 
told his saloon guests that everything was for free this night. 
Finally he destroyed all the furniture in his saloon. The next 
morning at 8 o’clock his wife heard a shot in the shed and she 
immediately found out that Klozinsky had taken the revolver from 
the place where it was supposed to be and she suspected something 
really bad. But because she feared her husband and his violent 
character she didn’t have the heart to check on him. Klozinsky 
himself did not reappear until noon and finally people went into 
the shed where they found the man sitting on a chair with a deep 
gunshot wound on his head. He had placed a mirror on the table in 
front of him to be able not to miss the target. The bullet had hit 
his right temple, had gone into the brain before it went out of the 
head again at a point over his left eye. The death must have occurred 
immediately. The repeated losses of his investments mentioned before 
might have driven the man to desperation, to alcohol and finally to 
death.

North Eighth street, received a War department telegram that Lt. Frederic 
Kluth, 26, had died on Luzon May 19 of injuries he received the day

KNAPP, ELIZABETH

Death in Town Gibson last week of 80 yr. old Mrs. Elizabeth Knapp.

KNEEVERS, BETTE

(b. 02 Jan 1900/d. 18 Feb 2003/Manitowoc, Manitowoc, WI/SSDI)
Born on January 2, 1900, Bette grew up with one thought: “All I talked about was being
in show business,” she says. Working in Milwaukee as a waitress, she saw an
advertisement to join the “Fearless Gregg” show. Bette not only joined the show, but a
year later, married the owner, Fred Gregg.
Bette performed a stunt called “Autos that Pass in the Air”: She and Fred climbed a tall
ladder, then got into two cars parked one behind the other at the top of a ski-type jump.
The vehicles took off, reaching 150 mph. As they flew off the ramp, Fred’s car did loops
above Bette’s, then both landed on a special platform, built to absorb shock, “or we would
have been killed. I was never afraid; what a daredevil I was,” she marvels.
The “Fearless Greg” show traveled for 20 years, entertaining the King of England and
the Emperor of Japan. Bette and Fred met Bing Crosby who asked them to perform in
“Pennies from Heaven.” It was their last performance. Fred’s age kept him from
continuing, so they settled in California until his death in 1965. Bette then moved to
Plymouth. In 1978, at the Plymouth Senior Center, she met Earl Kneevers, a retired
court reporter. They married and lived happily until Earl’s death in 1993. Bette says, “I
had the life I wanted. Not many people can say that. You just have to go out and get it.”

good health considering his advanced years and death comes as a shock to a 
wide circle of friends in the city. Infirmities incident to old age were
responsible for his passing.
Mr. Kohlbeck, born in Austria in March, 1854, is the father of Anton and Frank
Kohlbeck of this city with whom he made his home on South Tenth street. At the
age of 13, Mr. Kohlbeck removed to this country with his parents and a year
later the family came to Wisconsin, directly to Manitowoc, where Mr. Kohlbeck
has since lived, taking for his vocation, blacksmithing, which trade he
followed up until a year ago when he retired. His wife, Mrs. Clara Kohlbeck,
nee Vogel, survives along with 20 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, three
sons, Anton and Frank of this city and Joseph of Wausau, two daughters, Clara
of Cedar Rapids, Ia., and Anna of Minneapolis, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Barboy
of Appleton.
Funeral On Monday
Funeral services will be held Monday at Whitelaw, Father Pusahl officiating. 
No other arrangements have been made. Mr. Kohlbeck was a member of the St.
Boniface parish in this city and of the St. Stephen's society.

KOHN, CHILD OF AUGUST

From Der Nord Westen, 23 Aug. 1900:
Death Thurs. following a short illness of a small 
child of local resident August Kohn.


KOHN, JOHN

The old "rag and bone man" Kohn, died day before yesterday in 
the hospital.
Der Nord Westen, 15 Mar. 1883
*******
The Pilot is justly indignant at the brutal manner
in which old man Kohn was mutilated and paretically
killed, by being run into by a team on the road. The
editor of the Pilot suffered from the same cause,
with less serious results, he followed the offending
party some distance and forced a settlement for
damages.
Manitowoc Tribune, Mar. 22, 1883
********
The old man Kohn still suffers. His poverty and load of years would seem to be 
a full measure of distress; but when the additional misfortune of the loss of 
a leg is added, he is indeed deserving of our pity. The man who thus crippled 
him is still unknown and no effort is being made to discover him. If one man 
should chance to call another a liar the dignity and peace of the State of 
Wisconsin would demand an instant law suit. But an old man 80 years of age, has 
his leg torn off and the perpetrator, who didn't even have the heart to ask the 
old man the extent of his injuries or offer any assistance, has not been called 
to account. He is free and by the immunity he enjoys is told practically that he 
may continue his career of slaughter. The law offers old John Kohn no redress 
for the terrible injury he sustained, but if the same man called him a liar, the 
judicial machinery of the county would be set to moving the mete out adequate 
punishment for the terrible offense. Old Kohn, without a relative, a friend or a 
cent has his leg torn off on a public highway because he was not quick enough in 
turning out of the road to allow a man with heavy team an unobstructed way, and 
he tosses on what may well be called his death bed and no one thinks of punishing 
the man who brought him to this teritble (sic) strait.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, March 15, 1883
***********
John Kohn died on Tuesday from the effect of the injuries he received on the road 
some three weeks ago. If ever an inquest was made imperative from the circumstances, 
it is in this case, and if ever the duty of officers to bestir themselves so as to 
discover the man who committed the crime, called loudly for performance, it is in 
the present case. No anti-mortem statement has been taken and the old man's death 
will prevent him from identifying the person who killed him. So much is lost by not 
proceeding earlier. But it is not yet too late. It is said the parties who came to 
the old man's assistance when he was left in a helpless condition, know the person 
whose criminal negligence resulted in the killing of a fellow man, but refuse to 
give information which will lead to his arrest.
Manitowoc Pilot, Thursday, March 15, 1883
**********
Since writing the above, we are informed that the district attorney has ordered an 
inquest and has gathered facts sufficent to warrant the making of an arrest. Neither 
the sheriff nor district attorney knew of the outrage until The Pilot gave the news, 
and then they proceeded to investigate the matter. Every one should give all the 
assistance possible in ferreting out the brute who thus sent a fellow man to the 
grave. Next week we will give as full particulars as possible in the hope that they 
will be of assistance in bringing the guilty one to justice.

HEARS OF BROTHER’S DEATH
Joseph Kostlevy, N. Ninth street this city, has just learned of the 
death of his brother, Wenzel Kostlevy in Germany, four years ago, a 
letter received this week conveying the news. The death of Mr. Kostlevy 
occurred in 1915 and at the time letters were mailed to relatives here 
but because of the war, never reached their destination and a casual 
reference in the letter just received informed the family here. The 
dead man was 69 years of age and had resided in Germany all his life. 
The letter from the family in Germany says that the greatest trouble 
experienced there now is from lack of fuel.

KROENING, LOUIS

BURNED ALIVE.
The barn of Fred Guedes of Maple Grove was struck by lightning on Monday last 
during the storm, and took fire. A second barn which was standing near, was 
likewise fired by the stroke. Mr. Guedes set to work to turn the cows out and 
found two of them killed by the shock. He succeeded in loosing the others and 
turned them out of the burning building. He then proceeded to release his horses. 
While engaged in this work the released cows persisted in returning to the 
burning building. An old man named Louis Kroening who was spending the night at 
Guedes rushed into the burning building to drive the cows out. He never returned 
and when the fire had burned out his bones were found near the door of the stable. 
He evidently was overcome while attempting to escape.
He was a man about 60 years of age and had no settled dwelling place. He worked 
here and there and usually remained wherever the night found him. Only the jaw 
bone and a part of the hip which was protected by the ashes into which they had 
sunk remained unburned. An inquest was held the next day by W.H. Noble.

KUBRITZHSZK, JOHN

John Kubritzhszk of Two Rivers committed suicide yesterday at 
that place by drowning. He was a single man with no known 
relatives, and as strongly addicted to drink, which together 
with poor health impelled him to the act.

********
Two Rivers Man Who Took His Life Was Well Known Character
John Cubicek, who committed suicide at Two Rivers Monday, was 
well known in this city, having spent considerable time here. 
He was formerly a resident of Tisch Mills and was at one time 
prosperous. A few months ago he broke his leg by falling from 
a wagon and was brought to the hospital here to be cared for 
at expense of the city. The Two Rivers Chronicle says: "He was 
quite an old man and was much addicted to drink. No one knew 
of his suicide or of his intention to end his own life, but 
Monday afternoon the finding of an overcoat and cap under the 
south approach of Washington street bridge which were identified 
as his caused the truth to be at once suspected. It took but a 
short time to find his body over which an inquest was held and 
a verdict of suicide rendered. The body was taken in charge and 
buried in the city. He was last seen alive about ? o'clock Monday 
morning. He was then crossing the bridge [and] was apparently on 
his way to the depot to take the morning train. It was Anton Bond, 
porter at the depot, who met him on the bridge. The journey he 
took was a long and distant one, but it was not by rail.

Jacob Kurzwelly, who brought the verdict of wilful murder against Chas. 
Rosstauscher.  On the examination it was proven that Rosstauscher, was seen to 
stab the deceased, and that at the time it occurred the two men had each other 
by the throat.  The prisoner was fully committed and sent in charge of the 
officers to the Sheboygan jail to await his trial.  In the mean time we do not 
deem it any part of our duty to allude to any of the rumors afloat, or to give 
any statements that may lead to prejudice one way or the other, until the sworn 
testimony becomes the property of the public.

The Circuit Court commenced its regular Session on Thursday last. The case 
of Charles Rosstauscher charged with killing Jacob Kurtzwelly was brought 
to a close on Tuesday, and the Jury after an absence of three hours returned 
a verdict of acquittal.
The trial has created much interest, and the Court room has been crowded most 
of the time.
The charge of Judge Gersline was an able one, and during its delivery the 
room was as silent as the chambers of death. We were not present during the 
whole of the trial and shall not venture to comment upon the verdict further 
than to state that there were reasonable grounds of doubt, and we can readily 
believe that this was in favor of the accused, as it should be. The Jury were 
men who fully realized the responsibility which rested upon them, and their 
(next sentence is unreadable) effect upon the community may be unfavorable, 
there is no reason for supposing that any other jury would under the same 
circumstances have given a different verdict. The history of the case is one 
which should be a caution to those who carry deadly weapons, and a lesson of 
prudence to all, for though there may be reason to believe that the killing 
was in this instance to some extent justifiable, yet none will deny that the 
quarrel was a foolish one and that its consequences have produced a result 
which all must deplore.
One of the parties a man of herculean frame is struck down in the pride of 
manhood and conscious strength, one instant alive and in the enjoyment of 
health; the next gasping in the agonies of expiring dissolution; the other 
shut up for months in the damp prison cell, away from the free air of Heaven, 
and with no companion, save the omnipresent fiend of remorse, his mind 
burdened with anxiety for the future, and his health and energies wasting 
under the torture of his situation. The testimony will be reported for the 
Tribune by one of the members of the Bar and we shall publish the most 
important parts of it.

A MOB-ALMOST! GREAT EXCITEMENT TRIUMPH OF LAW AND ORDER.
Our village was last evening the scene of what had nearly been a tragedy 
worthy of the early days of California. The cause of the outbreak was the 
arrest of C.F. Rosstausher on a charge of rape upon a married woman. The 
excited populace principally German were determined to lynch him, but the 
daring and judicious conduct of the officers who had the prisoner in charge, 
and persuasions of some of the bystander, induced them to forego their 
purpose at the moment when chance had placed their intended victim in their 
hands.
Rosstausher was tried on April last for murder, stabbing of Jacob Kurtzwelly 
?? ?????? escaped be???  ???? the occasion of his arrest at the time and 
though he was accquitted, there were those of his countrymen who feel ???? 
him guilty of wilful murder and their ??????? has doubbtless op?tated in 
fanning the popular flame on this occasion.
After an examination before Esq. Reuter, the prisoner was bound over on 
$1000 bond for his appearance at court and com??atte in default. As he was 
going down the stairs of the Court Room, a rush was made and the officers 
and prisoner were in the midst of a crowd of excited men, who were evidently 
thirsting for blood. In the melee the prisoner was thrown to the floor, and 
officer Carpenter received a severe kick in the chest, but succeeded in 
reaching the door, and when they passed our office were evidently making time 
that would be disgrace to 20-40 nag just starting on his first heat. They 
were followed by the crowd, some of them hooting and yelling for others to 
"come on." Others crossed the ice below the bridge and headed them off, but 
as they were about to pounce upon their prey, the officer drew a revolver 
and protested that he would drop the first who laid hands upon him, and 
before the mob had recovered from their surprise at his coolness, he had 
him in a place of safety, and it required but little persuasion to induce 
them to quietly disperse. Whatever may be the need of condemnation awarded 
to the individual object of this outbreak, we cannot forego the expression 
of our gratification at the complete triumph of law and order, for such we 
consider it. The law a pail?dom con?ine the antidote to every social evil, 
if it does not we have the power which the people of no other contry possess, 
we can change our laws when they are inefficient or unoperative. We sincerely 
hope that it will be long before we shall have occasion to chronicle the 
disgrace which will attach itself to our beautiful Village, when the 
overwrought passions of the human heart shall expand themselves in lawless 
deeds of violence.
