    3. My great-grandmother was a Fish from Princeton, Wis., where her father was an attorney. A cousin of mine has done some very in depth research on the Fish family going back into the 1700's.. If you wish I can forward this to him as I am sure he could give you much more information than I.

A carpenter named >>McDonald and James Hagan were having a dispute in Lemke’s saloon and >>Hagan charged McDonald with having worked for $1.50 a day. This >>insuinuation (sic) McDonald quickly resented and a wordy war ensued >>between the men which quickly gathered a crowd of witnesses. Hagan and >>McDonald then patched up their differences. >> >>Later on they met Louis Ostlund and asked him if McDonald had ever worked >>for him at the price referred to. Mr. Ostlund replied that he had not, >>but had always received $2.50 or $3 a day.

One shot struck Hagan in the small of the >>back and made a grevious (sic) wound. Fred Bronson was struck by a stray >>shot and received a severe wound in the fleshy part of the leg. His >>injury is not severe and Dr. Sutherland reports him as resting easily. >>When Hagan was taken home he was thought dangerously wounded and the >>belief became currant that he was dying, but the bullet has been found >>and unless blood poisoning sets in he will in all probability recover. >> >>McDonald was arrested soon after the shooting and placed in the county >>jail.
