The first cattle fair at Thiensville last Monday was fairly successful though it

Look at the new advertisement of the Cedarburg Elevator Company in this issue. The
company has its headquarters in Milwaukee, but is represented here by Wm. FITZGERALD

of dancing, those present will have the treat of seeing some well represented scenes
illustrating the actions and manners of ancient times. All necessary accommodations

the music.

A German day-laborer only recently arrived from the old country, who had been paying
attention to a respectable serving girl of this place, found his hopes suddenly dashed
to pieces a short time ago, when it transpired that he had left a wife and two children
to shift for themselves in Germany.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The other day a tall, commanding person, slightly top-heavy at the time, was being
conducted along the street by the marshall, when the school closed, and a troop of
rollicking urchins immediately fell in line, and amid vociferous demonstrations of
extreme joy, conducted the six foot to his safe lodgings, and for quarter of an hour
afterward were gathered in lively groups, discussing the great event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Monday of last week, Carl KRAMER sued two men, JUNG and KLOETE, for assault and
battery before Justice WILKE. The case was dismissed because the plaintiff could
obtain no witnesses. Thereupon he went to a Grafton justice and brought complaint
against the two men for threatening injury to his person. The case was decided in
his favor and JUNG and KLOETE, besides paying fines and costs, were put under 4100
bonds each to keep the peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sheriff DELLES was in the city last Friday subpoenaing witnesses in the assault and
battery case of KLUG vs. PODOLL which will be tried in Port Washington to-day. On
Monday evening of last week, Messrs. KLUG and PODOLL among others, were regaling
themselves at JAUCKE's when KLUG made some slighting remark about PODOLL's appearance
and it seems, was immediately rewarded by a crushing blow in the face, on the strength
of which he brought the complaint. The constable was present at the time, but enjoyed
the scene so immensely as to forget, for the moment, the duties of his office. The
trial promises to be an interesting one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HE LEFT MANY VICTIMS
Feb. 1st Bernard GINDORFF, a painter here for two years past, formed a partnership
with John ROUND of Bay View, and opened a store for sale of paints, oils, etc. ROUND
put a young man named JONES in charge of his interest. the goods were not paid for.
GINDORFF left here Wednesday with a livery team and lots of goods from the store
to be gone three days. He went to Milwaukee, sold the team and rig to Richard BAER,
a liveryman, and left with a fast woman with whom he had become intimate. He also
sold a horse he had bought at auction and given a secured note for. He has spent
much time lately in Milwaukee, and the records of Justice BECKER of Chestnut street,
show his marriage to the woman who left with him, March 18. He has been engaged as
an auctioneer for some time, and at one sale he purchased a horse, and the son of
the seller became surety on a note for $70. He sold the horse to Richard BAER, Milwaukee,
several weeks ago. He owes nearly everybody in this community various sums, from
$10 to $100. ROUND is here and will settle the partnership liabilities. the liveryman
found and reclaimed his property at BAER's stables. GINDORFF is supposed to have
gone to Chicago. His sudden flight was caused by suspicions on all sides that he
was crooked -- Milwaukee Sentinel
The men came through Cedarburg and tried to dispose of their horse here, but being
unable to agree on the price, hurried on, and left just in time to escape Mr. HEUER
of West Bend who was in pursuit.

The city election yesterday was much more lively and interesting than spring elections
generally are. The candidates for the contested positions were on the ground bright
and early and maintained their station before the polls and vicinity for most of

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS
In the Port Washington Zeitung from March 10th, an editorial was published relating
to the appeal cases of Dr. SMITH, Dr. QUINLAN and Walter ZASTROW.
The editor of the Port Washington Zeitung intimates that the member of the southern
town, is always ready to disallow all bills presented, only for the reason to make
himself known and seeking the favor of his townsmen, and such other insinuations,
which, I suppose he would not have published if the member of the southern town was
a subscriber of his paper.
In a correspondence from a taxpayer in Thiensville published in the Zeitung two weeks
later, it is stated that those appeal cases cost the county $200-300 etc.
I presume the editor of the Zeitung and the unknown taxpayer from Thiensville intended
to call the attention of the people to the fact that I was the cause, that $20 were
disallowed on each of bill No. 75 and 76, as presented by Dr. SMITH and Dr. QUINLAN,
for their attendance at an inquest held over the body of the late J. R. BOHAN.
I acknowledge that I have voted for said disallowance, together with every other
member of the county board. I thought five dollars was a fair compensation for going
a half mile, and merely looking at a man who was instantly killed by a railroad train
and say, “Yes, the man is dead.” I, and every other member of the county board thought
at the same time, that one physician was enough to find that out! If this is such
a great wrong in the mind of the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung and the unknown
taxpayer from Thiensville, I then nevertheless hereby acknowledge that I do not feel
sorry for having done so.
Sometime before the correspondence from the taxpayer in Thiensville was published
in the Port Washington Zeitung some of my friends informed me that the “young lawyer”
in Thiensville was very busy in telling everybody that I run the county in heavy
costs and expense, and therefore “our taxes were so awful high.” I have good reason
to believe that the unknown taxpayer and the “young lawyer” is one and the same person
-- and if this person deemed himself fit to criticize my actions as a member of the
county board, he ought to say a little more, he ought to say for instance: that I
was also the cause that the county realized about $82 from a man in Thiensville for
rent on real estate belonging to an insane person, who has been supported by the
county for about ten years. I should think that Thiensville is not such a mighty
big place, that such a thing could happen there without it coming to the knowledge
of the “lawyer” and “taxpayer”. Well yes, it is just so as the “taxpayer” stated
in his correspondence -- “Der Bauer muh bezahlen!” -- and even in this case the “Bauer”
had to pay!
I have done more such things during the time I was a member of the county board,
which the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung and the taxpayer from Thiensville
consider to be great wrongs and as I now retire from office they may console themselves
and I might have time to repent -- if I should feel like doing so. -- THIENSVILLE,
April 4, 1887 - Wm. F. JAHN
P.S. After I had written the above, I was informed by a reader of the Port Washington
Zeitung that the Editor thereof also stated that I was the cause that a special meeting
of the County Board was called last fall; that said meeting was unnecessary, and
that it was called merely for the purpose of making unnecessary expenses.
Indeed, said Editor in all his rage and fury seemed to be very careless in his writing
editorials, and totally ignored the law which provides how special meetings of the
County Board are to be called.
I will only state that said special meeting was not called according to law; that
I was not present at said special meeting on that account, and that I received none
of such unnecessary expenses.
In order to inform the editor of the Port Washington Zeitung will the NEWS state
the facts in the case? -- Wm. F. JAHN
