Was Held About Twenty-five Years

under Investlgntion nt thnt time wns
n charge brought ngnlnst Clms. Schlelp

dead In n wntormelon patch nt New
man Grove thirty-six years ago. His
murderer wns never discovered. It
wns believed thnt ho hnd been mur
dered nnd his body placed In the mel
on field to give the Impression that ho
had been shot there. Two of the early
settlers of Nowmnn Grove now dend
or gone nwny were charged with the
crime , but positive proof was lacking.
G. A. KUHL SAYS IT IS SUCCESS
IN WISCONSIN.
COULD BE SUCCESS IN NORFOLK
The Plan of Having a Bargain Day
and Market Day In Town Once
Every So Often , Is Working Other
Places Up to Commercial Club.
G A. Ktihl Is authority for the
statement thnt the plan suggested In
these columns Borne weeks ngo , for
the developing of n bargain or market
dny In Norfolk once n month , Is now
being successfully worked , nnd bus
been successfully worked for some
time , nt Watortown , Wisconsin.
Wntortown la n Gorman community ,
so that the same plan which would
work well there ought to work equally
well In Norfolk. The "market day"
custom there wns brought over to thla
country from Germany by the early
settlors. On one day of each week
every Tuesday there Is a "market
dny. " On that day the Gorman far
mers from , miles around flock Into the
city with every article of nny des
cription whntevor , which they wish
to trade. Ono man will como twenty-
flvo miles with uu old buggy which ho
wants to get rid of , nnd another from
another neighborhood will como In
prepared to trade something for n
buggy. Mr. Kuhl says that the day
Is a rnngnlllcont success and has been
for years. Hundreds of farmers come
to town every Tuesday for this oc
casion.
And , to supplement the bargnln dny ,
an annual three days' fair Is held
whlcfi Is Inrgoly attended.
"I have seen this plan work In the
German settlement of Wisconsin , "
said Mr. Kuhl , "and I know that It
would work In Norfolk. It ought to
be given n trlnl by the Commerclnl
Club of Norfolk. "
CITY HAS PURCHASED AN ACRE
OF GRAVEL FOR WORK.
WILL BEGIN HAULING THIS WEEK
It is Estimated- That 1,000 Loads of
Gravel Will be Necessary Anyone
May Haul at Seventy.five Cents Per
Load From First to Sixth.
[ From Monday's Dally.l
Norfolk avenue , between First and
Sixth streets , Is to be paved with grav
el.
The work of covering the main
street of the city with this material
will begin this week , as soon as the
rend Is dry enough. It is thought that
the hauling of the gravel will begin
probably about Thursday.
The city council , through a commit
tee recently appointed for that work ,
Saturday afternoon purchased from
Mr. Rnasch , living west of the city ,
an acre of his farm. In this acre Is
much gravel fit for use on the streets ,
and i from the pit 1,000 loads will be
hauled for the purpose of covering
Norfolk avenue.
Anyone who desires to haul gravel
will be nllowed to do so and the city
will pay for the work seventy-five cents
per load , each loadto contain one and
n hnlf cubic yards of gravel.
The graveling wns almost necessarj
because of the gutters that have just
been built. Without gravel It wns
feared water would soak undernenth
the gutters and , when n freeze came
crack the concrete. The gravel , on
the other hand , Is calculated to act as
a pavement which will turn the wnter
directly Into the gutters.
The coat of gravel will be several
inches deep.
It Is believed that , now that a grav
el pit has been secured , First stree1
will also be graveled , making a June
tlon roadway of high excellence am
making possible nn automobile passen
gcr line.
