    Farmer Kills Mad Bull

    Geo. Jindra, a farmer residing near the village of Mishicot, had an exciting experience with an ugly bull, last Friday evening. Jindra attempted to get a rope around the bull's neck and lead him to a barn. The bull was ugly and began to chase its owner about the premises. Jindra took refuge in a shed in which machinery was stored and crawled behind some machines. The bull was still after him. Jindra picked up a hammer that was lying on the fllor and threw it at the bull. The hammer hit just the right spot in the bull's head and the ferocious animal toppled over dead. -- Two Rivers Chronicle.

    Jos. Jindra Burns Out

    Fire on Tuesday night completely destroyed the large store and other buildings belonging to Joseph Jindra in the town of Nasewaupee. The contents were also burned.

    The fire was discovered about 11:30 by Miss Elizabeth Keogh, and the servant girl who lodged on the second floor. The alarm was promptly given, and a determined effort made by the household to extinguish the blaze. while they were in a measure successful, the fire appears to have found lodgement between the partitions where it could not be got at, and the occupants were at last compelled to leave the doomed building in such raiment as they had on their backs and barefooted. The snow lying deep on the ground they sought refuge in nearby homes-Joseph Ludwik and Matt Wochos.

    Mr. Jindra in the vain endeavor to stay the ravages of the flames inhaled so much smoke and hot hair that he finally became overpowered, and in this emergency Dr. Kreutzer was summoned from Sawyer, arriving at the scene shortly after 1 a.m. He found the patient in such a critical condition, due to congestion, that he found it necessary to visit him several times since and at this writing he is not out of danger. Mr. Jindra is being cared for a the home of Mr. Ludwik.

    The fire is supposed to have originated from a defective chimney, and as said heretofore, when discovered had made such progress as to render all human efforts at extinguishment quite futile. It is just possible that if the blaze had not been discovered by the ladies in the upper rooms in time that they as well as some of the other inmates would have been burned. As the buildings were large and of a very combustible character the blaze was one of the largest ever seen in that part of the county. There was a large hall connected with the establishment, this being 40x60 feet. The loss will probably aggregate $6,000 or more, and the insurance is $2,000, the risks being held by the Bank of Sturgeon Bay. The original buildings were erected by Chars. Stokes about twenty-five years ago.

    Miss Keogh, the teacher, is a daughter of Edward Keogh, and a former resident of Forestville. Her parents now live in Green Bay. Owing to the hurried departure form the burning building in light attire, and loss of all her clothing, Miss Keogh was unable to teach school yesterday.

    Misc:
    The town board met in special session last Monday and at the request of Joseph Jindra transferred his saloon license to the building owned by him on the opposite side of the road from the old structure destroyed by fire on December 14th. Mr. Jindra, who was more or less seriously affected by inhaling smoke and heat at the time of the blaze, has now quite recovered therefrom. He reports the loss of all his books and papers, which were left downstairs, the safe being on the second floor. He also lost $200 or more in silver and currency, the money having likewise been placed elsewhere than in the receptacle. On top of this a policy for $1,000 had expired a short time before the fire, it being his intention to renew same, but it appears he waited a little too long. His loss will foot up $8,000 at least, with $2,000 insurance, which is a pretty bad blow for the family certainly.

    Misc:
    Joseph Jindra is building a saloon near the old site which was burned down some time ago. He will put up a larger buidling later, the one now being put up will only be for temporary use, for license could not be grated him in the cheese factory. It being too close to the school house.
