Made Savage Attack With a Wrench. Al. Davey slipped up behind Bert Womack Saturday and attempted to brain him with a monkey wrench. Davey was arrested and fined for dis orderly conduct, and later re-arrested and bound over to circuit court in the sum of $450, being charged with an attempt to do great bodily harm. Bail was secured. The above is the aftermath of a dance that took place about four months ago which was attended by Davey, Womack and the latter’s sister. During the dance, it is charged by Womack, Davey tripped Miss Womack, seriously disarranging her clothes. Womack resented the act, and gave Davey a good beating. The latter, it is said, has been lay ing for him since that time. At first it was thought Womack’s skull was fractured. The wound was dressed by a surgeon, and he is about the streets. —Platteville Witness. Marriage Licenses Issued. Adam Scheider and Gertrude Kreil, both of Muscoda.
