New London, WI New London, Wis. Feb. 15 - G. Boynton, a young man of his city, while cutting wood about three miles from here, accidently broke his leg in falling a tree. He was immediately conveyed to the residence of his parents in this place, and placed under the care of Dr. Eldredge. The limb has been set, broken and reset three times. Samuel Shaw of this city, had a narrow escape from having his jaw broken one day last week while driving just out of town. The horse was suddenly frightened and threw the occupants into the snow. Mr. Shaw fell under the horses heels, and had six teeth knocked out of his upper jaw and his face otherwise damaged. The stock of groceries owned by J. A. Steig has been
purchased by G. W. Warner, and hereafter the store will be run under the
firm name of G. W. Warner & Co. Stevens Point Daily Journal - Stevens Point, Wisconsin - Saturday, June 4, 1887 Page 7 Held for Trial Chas. H. Naylor and wife have lived in our neighboring city of Waupaca for the last thirteen years. Naylor is a barber by trade, and of late has also with the aid of his wife, been keeping a restaurant, and managing the telephone exchange. Mrs. Naylor is now in our county jail, and on Monday of next week will be arraigned for a preliminary examination before Justice Carpenter, on the charge of adultery. Her story is to the effect that she has not lived pleasantly with her husband for some time, and that he has been trying to drive her away; that on Tuesday of last week they quarreled, and that she left him and came to Stevens Point, arriving here with only 25 cents in her pocket. Her husband put in an appearance about two days later, and procured a warrant for the arrest of his wife and one Louis Delestry, on the charge of adultery. The latter, who has been traveling with the Dr. Robertson company, was taken into custody. Mr. Naylor had in the meantime gone to Wittenburg, Shawano county, whither she was followed by Sheriff Vaughn and arrested. The preliminary examination of Delestry was concluded before Justice Eaton on Thursday. He claims to have been educated at Frankfort and Heidleberg, and says he served two years as midshipman in the German navy. It was shown at the examination that he and Mrs. Naylor had registered at two of our hotels as man and wife, and he was held for trial before the circuit court. As he could not furnish $500 bail, he is now in jail, where he will have to remain until next October. Three of our medical men appeared as witnesses at the examination, the defendant having rested his defense almost wholly upon his alleged non-copulating powers. Mrs. Naylor is to have her hearing next Monday, and if held for trial will probably also have to remain in jail until next fall. The parties involved in this case are people in whom residents of this county have no interest, and it is very questionable whether the District Attorney should have burdened the tax-payers with the costs of the suits. It is said that they have already involved an expenditure of $500, and if carried to a trial in the Circuit Court, $1.000 will probably not pay the costs.
Recently a cyclone
passed over the pond at Weyauwega, raising the water forty feet high in
its track. Mr. E. Kosanke and another gentleman were crossing the pond
in a small boat, and were so near the track of wind as to be lifted
bodily, with the boat, whirling around and finally thrown out.
Fortunately they were near the shore, and no serious damage was done.
The Times - New London, WI - August 12, 1887 Brave Boys - Curtis Coyer, aged eight years, narrowly escaped death by drowning last Friday. He fell from the dock in the rear of the Simpson warehouse. His cries were heard by Morty Trayser, who without hesitation bravely plunged to his assistance, but hardly had the strength requisite to getting the drowning boy ashore. Charlie Packard most opportunely appeared at this critical juncture and the two succeeded in saving the boy.
