On Thursday night some one, unknown, entered Wm. Killiner's store in search of clothing judging from the appearance of that department the next morning. The entrance was effected by breaking a glass in the front door. As the breaking and falling of so large a quantity of glass would make quite a racket it is natural to think that the unknown was a little green, or that he was in sort of financial strait.

Hans Erickson's mail team became frightened at the steam mill and delivered U.S. mail and fragments of cutter at a rate that would astonish a fast transcontinental R. R. Train. Scandinavia Scandinavia had a sensation last Saturday that gave the gossips such a shaking up as they have not had in a year. Last November a young lad hailing somewhere from Minnesota, made application for the position of hostler at the Waupaca House and was accepted. To all appearances the youth looked innocent and harmless as any sheep that that ever bore wool. He did not speak English nor much of anything else. Nothing in life's rugged pathway seemed to ruffle his temper. Nothing short of an earthquake or a volcanic eruption would ever start him on a run. But now, on Saturday as the 9:50 train arrived from the west, a young lady put in an appearance and made demands upon our innocent Ole which entirely transformed him in the eyes of those who knew him. She carried in her arms a three month's old baby somewhat resembling our here and demanded an immediate marriage per minister of the gospel, justice of the peace or any other man. Ole at tempted to make some soothing objection and promised to go out and marry her at her home in three months. But she didn't seem inclined to do business on the three months plan and waltzed him before Justice Charles Anderson where they were married. The next morning the young bride and mother took the train and her young husband bad her adieu with as much concern as he usually does any ordinary traveling man, and then went back to the kitchen of the Waupaca House and helped himself to a little more pancake.

Tuesday morning the house of Fred Rusch was destroyed by fire. The alarm was given about one o'clock and brought the first department out, but owing to the scarcity of water in that part of the town it was impossible to put it out. The fire is supposed to have started in the garret. Most of the household goods were saved, and the building was fully insured. The Waupaca Post - Waupaca, WI - April 21, 1892 Dayton Horace Whitney has recently bought 20 acres more land of the Niles boy's. H. C.

Constable Stroud brought the prisoners before the court on Thursday morning, but the matter was dropped, as the District Attorney, who happened to be here, informed Quimby that he was not a legal justice and would not be until the first Monday in May. J. C. Quimby has received an increase of four dollars on his pension so that he now draws $14 per month.
