Julius Bolofski a fnnner about 60
years of age was foully shot yesterday
moruing during a family inarrel by his
Coruclius Smith at hiB homo
south of Meadow Grove
Bolofski and fnmily ami Smith and
family livo together in tho honso belong
ing to tho old man The Bolofskis lived
in tho east part of tho building while
tho Smiths occupied tho west part
The old man and the two young men
eocli farmed a portion of tho land Tho
old man had threshed His portion of the
crop somo time ago and on Monday
went to help a neighbor threBh Whilo
absent he secured some liquor aud when
he arrived homeiat oclock yesterday
moruing he was in a bad humor aud
went in to make trouble but uothing
Herious happened until it caino time to
do the morning choreB
Smith was to thresh his graiu yester
day and Bolofskis sou went to the bam
to get tho teams ready His father ap
peared with a pitchfork and drove hhn
out As ho was running away tho
yonng man fell over a barb wire fence
injuring his leg quite severely Mrs
Bolofski also went to the barn but was
driven away by her infuriated husband
Tho attention of tho crazed man was
next directed to tho house which he
entered and drove out tho threshers
who were eatiug breakfast He then
started into the rooms occupied by
Smith in which were Mrs Smith and
her eight weeks old baby
The old man threatened to kill all of
them and Mrs Smith called to her hus
band and told him to shoot the old man
Smith secured a 32 calibre revolver
and lired at Bolofski three times all
the shots takiug effect The first
entered the old mans head at about the
center of the forehead the second
entered at the temple and the third
bullet took effect in his throat The
victim of the shooting didnt fall until
the third shot hud been lired
Any one of thohots would ordinarily
mean almost instant death but up to
the last reports heard Bolofski was still
alive although his death was believed
to be a matter of but a short timo and
he is probably dead by this time
Young Smith went to Meadow Grove
where he gave himself up to the oflicers
nud is now in charge of Sheriff Losey at
Madison
Public sentiment is almost unani
mously in sympathy with young Smith
Bolofski has the reputation of possessing
a terrible temper especially when drunk
and there have been numerous rows
before
He was in the county jail about a
year ago charged with beating his wife
aud abusing his family and at another
time Mrs Bolofski was protected
against him by being kept in jail by
Sheriff Losey He was an ugly cus
omer according to all occouu ts and
t here will be few to mourn his loss
Prepare Ueet Fields Now for 11101
A correspondent signing himself P
D in the Chicago Beet Sugar Gazette
gives the following valuable advice to
farmers who contemplate raising sugar
beets next year
In order to prepare tho soil properly
for tho season of 1101 beet growers
ought to begin now Select a piece of
good soil grain stubble and as soon as
the grain is off burn it if practicable
Then draw out all tho manure you have
to spare or borrow some and spread it
plow two or three inches deep only aud
afterward keep everything green culti
vated down going a little deeper each
time so as to throw up to tho atmos
phere new weed seed to sprout Tho
oftener this is done the better until as
late in the fall as you can safely risk the
last deep plowing of about eight inches
according to soil If n deep rioh soil
loose below eight inches will do If a
compact subsoil use a subsoil plow set
so as to reach not lees than 10 to IB
inches below the surface
In all your work keep tho surface
level do not allow any ridges in it Iu
the spring use disk or cultivator only
and about five inches deep aud sow the
seed as early as possible bat not if too
cold Remember your garden beets aud
that they will stand early sowing and
the sugar beet can be sowed just as early
nud the earlier we can get them started
the earlier we can begin harvesting
them and the earlier you can get your
money from the crop

Gentlemen I must say iu regard to
Grain 0 that there is nothing better or
healthier We have used it for yeara
My brother was a great coffee drinker
He was taken sick and the doctor said
coffee was the cause of it and told us to
use Grain O Wo got a package but
did not like it at first but now would
not be without it My brother has been
well ever since we started to use it

It seemed to be the unanimous senti
ment of peoplo that yesterday was the
hottest day of the year but the govern
ment thermometer failed to sustain
them in their belief m it only indicated
a maximum temperature of l degrees
while on Juno 27 the maximum temper
ature was registered at 103 degrees It is
uot unlikely that tho temperature yes
terday was tho moro oppressive how
ever owing to the humidity of the at
mosphere which was scarcely stirred by
a breeze A most agreeable change took
place this morning when a cooling
healthy breeze sprang up from tho north
east carrying with it large quantities of
refreshing invigorating ozone which
soon put the atmosphere in n condition
to make life worth living Sonus show
ers also accompanied the change and
wero far from being despised by the
populace
Meadow Grove Press Quito a num
ber of our citizens were badly shocked
Tuesday night during the electrical
storm tho lightning striking the
liberty pole and running both ways on
the wiro that runs from McDonalds
storo to their house shaking the peoplo
in tho house and destroying the phones
at both places On striking the storo it
ran from the main building down into
tho salt house tearing a few boards loose
At the same time tho lightning struck
the blacksmith shop of Geo Mills aud
did somo queer work Btarting iu at
the stovepipe running along his work
bench scattering his tools right and
left and moving tho opposite side of the
building out about 4 inches It also
welded two iron wrenches together that
were laying side by sido on tho bench
Aside from this no other damage was
done in townbut Joe Ober living north
of town lost a valuable row from being
struck by lightning
It is hardly to bo supposed that any
law will protect a brutes life against
that of a person A man is justified in
killing another in self defenso provid
ing it can bo proven and it is highly
improbable that any law wonld condemn
a person for protecting himself or an
other against the attack of n brute
even though his lifo might uot bo en
dangered If a ferocious bull should
charge a person and was shot it is not
believed that any jury would convict the
one who killed him of any offense
against the law of tho laud aud so with
a vicious dog It is not believed that
any law or jury would condemn a man
for protecting his person or that of his
wife or child from even a threatened
attack especially if the brute has before
shown vicious tendencies The law
would undoubtedly presume that every
endeavor to avoid such an attack would
be employed as it does in the postoflice
service a carrier need not deliver at a
house where a vicious dog is kept but
if the animal comes onto the street aud
attacks the carrier without provocation
he would undoubtedly be justified in
killing it oven though it were
persoual property and its owner
had paid a tax Thk News has
heard many complaints of vicious dogs
in Norfolk and would be the last to con
demn a person for openly defending
himself or his family against their
attacks A family pet is all right but a
virion one allowed to run at large
unmuzzled is not and it is the opinion
of the writer that a person is no more
justified in leaving a vicious dog run at
large than he would be to harbor a linn
or tiger
