~~~~~~~~~~~
Last Wednesday, a fire started in the residence of Mr. August BOHRTZ, of this city. The fire alarm was at once given and the fire engine brought to the fire, the firemen were getting the upper hand of the fire, when some of the working parts of the engine became disabled, whereupon the old engine was called out, and placed at the tank near the Catholic Church, and in a short time was throwing water on the burning building, by this time the fire was got under control, but the fact that the fire being between the lathing and the clap-boards, prevented the firemen from getting at the fire and necessitated the tearing down of the walls of the whole front part of the house, after which the fire was readily extinguished.
~~~~~~~~~~~
A fire that looked and threatened to develop into a serious conflagration, broke out last Sunday evening in the large residence of A. BODERDOERFER, at Hamilton, and for a while the fire had the upper hand when word was sent to this city for aid. The fire company quickly responded, and had already reached the city limits when they received word that the fire had been extinguished. As to the origin of the fire there are doubts, but from indications it seems that it started in closet on the second floor. The damage done beyond burning of the contents of the closet, and the door leading to it, was slight.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following we take from yesterday morning's Sentinel regarding the death of Edward BODENDOERFER of the Town of Mequon:

HE WAS KILLED TOO
A Man Who Met the Same Fate as His Brother -- Both Killed by a Train

The somewhat mysterious death of Edward BODENDOERFER of the town of Mequon last night, will be investigated by Coroner LEICH to-day. When the Milwaukee & Northern train, due here at 7:10 p.m., had pulled out of Schwartzburg, the engineer it is said, noticed an apparently drunken man, who had been lying on the track, get up and run toward the train. A moment later he was struck and hurled into the ditch. The train was stopped and the injured man brought to the city and taken to the Emergency hospital. Dr. ALLEN found a deep hole in the upper left thigh, which seemed to have been made by a stick of wood or something else, being driven through. The man never regained consciousness and died shortly before 11 o'clock. Deputy-Coroner FREY, when about to remove the body to the morgue, recognizzed the man as Edward BODENDOERFER, a young butcher from Mequon. No one had known until then who he was. The body was placed on the same slab on which, two months ago, that of William BODENDOERFER rested. Both were brothers. William BODENDOERFER was killed at Brown Deer by a train. His brother, Edward, came to the morgue to identify him and fainted when he saw the dead body. It is possible he carried a heavy walking stick in his hands, and that this was driven through his thigh when he was struck by the train. The family of the young man was notified.
