Prey of Red Men

John Parker, a Pewaukee Man, Murdered by Indians in Idaho

Pewaukee, Wis.-Aug. 6-A telegram was received this morning by John Parker, an old resident of this village, announcing that his son, John Parker, Jr., who has been residing in Idaho for several years, had been murdered by the Indians, and that his property, his house, horses and cattle had all been destroyed.

It seems that young Parker had recently purchased a farm in Idaho, and that it contained a spring which was very near the public road. The spring had been used by the Indians and some white settlers to water their cattle previous to the sale of the place. When Parker brought the farm he fenced it in in order to keep his cattle from straying away. This incensed the neighbors against him as they felt that the spring was public property. And it was thought that the quarrel arising from this source resulted in the crime.

Later dispatches state that it is thought that the murderers might have been some of the white settlers. Young Parker's body has not been found and it was thought that he perished in his house, which was burned in the night. His friends have searched all over without finding any clue as to his whereabouts. His parents are nearly prostrated with grief, and refuse to believe that he is dead.

A Strange Case Mysterious Disappearance of Former Resident of Pewaukee

Pewaukee, Wis., Aug. 14-One of the mysteries which will probably always remain unsolved, is the mysterious disappearance of John H. Parker, Jr., who resided in this village until two or three years ago.  A few years back Mr. Parker, who is about 26 years old, bought a farm in Idaho and moved from Pewaukee to that state.  There he resided until July 31 of this year, when he disappeared.  Nothing has been heard of him since that date, although his family has made every effort to trace him, offering large rewards for information of him dead or alive.

The whole country is being scoured and a letter received today by his brother from a friend of Parker in Idaho states that nothing is being left undone to get some trace of Parker and to bring the criminals to justice.

On Saturday, July 31, John Parker, left his farm, which is situated in an isolated stretch of country some eight miles from the nearest village, to see a neighbor on business.  Between 5 and 6 that evening he left the neighbor, whom he hired to do some work for him, and set out for home.  This was the last time that Parker was seen.  At 8 o'clock that evening shots were heard and the neighbors saw smoke coming from the direction of Parker's farm.  They hastened to the place and found the house and barns wrapped in flames and the cattle killed.

The horses were all killed, with the exception of Parker's own pony, which was missing.  A search of the premises was instituted, but nothing was found except a confused mass of footprints on the wet grass about the house, indicating that there had been a large number of assailants.  It being quite late, the search was given up and a messenger was dispatched to the village to inform the authorities and Parker's sister of the outrage.

The next morning searching parties were organized, but of no avail.  Late in the afternoon Parker's pony and dog were found wandering about in a field some distance from the farm.  Near the house was Parker's rifle case, but the rifle was missing.  The clues stopped there and no further trace of Parker could be found.

It was thought at first that the deed was the work of Indians, as they are quite hostile to the whites, having had several quarrels recently, but Miss Parker and the officials are inclined to discredit that theory, and to charge it to some of the white settlers.

It seems that there had been a quarrel recently between Parker and some of the whites concerning the ownership of a certain spring on Parker's farm, and it is thought that the quarrel let to the attack.

The sheriff is of the opinion that Parker escaped from the burning house and fled on his pony, that he was followed and shot, and that the body was spirited away and was buried.  The Parker family is one of the best known in Waukesha county, John Parker, Sr., father of the missing man, having lived in Pewaukee over forty years.

A BAD CASE IN WISCONSIN.

A WEALTHY FARMER AT WAUKESHA ACCUSES HIS SON-IN-LAW OF CAUSING THE DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER.

SINGULAR STATEMENTS - A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR LIBEL SUIT GROWS OUT OF THE AFFAIR.

Inter Ocean, (Chicago, IL) July 03, 1878; pg. 3; Issue 86; col F

Waukesha, June 28. - A suit for libel has been commenced in Waukesha of a most singular nature.

Slightly west of north, about a mile distant from North Prairie, in Waukesha County, is a very fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres; most of the land is rich, black prairie. It was formerly owned by Mr. John Carlin, who, with his now aged widow, were the parties who took Isaac Taylor, then a pauper boy in an English poor house, to bring him up upon their farm in England. Thence he ran away and came to America. This boy's after history is a wonderful one in many respects, culminating in his dying a very rich man in Racine, where an orphan asylum bearing his name has been erected, and which is handsomely endowed out of his large fortune and generous benefaction. The farm at North Prairie was sold to a Mr. Murray, a Scotchman, a resident of Milwaukee, who, in turn, sold it to a Scotchman named John Hood, its present owner. Mr. Hood had two daughters; the oldest about a year and a half since married a young man named Perry. The other married John Burnell, son of one of the oldest settlers of that vicinity. The oldest daughter, Mrs. Perry, died a short time since, and, under circumstances that, if her friends are to be believed, seem quite shocking. It is claimed by several that, while Perry and Burnell were courting the two sisters, Perry choosing the elder and Burnell the younger, Burnell made improper advances toward the elder; that those advances were of such a character that considerable physical resistance was used by the girl. She informed her mother, who thought best to keep the matter quiet.

Several months after the marriages took place - both sisters were married at the same time - it is alleged that Burnell went to Mrs. Perry's house, in her husband's absence, and made a determined effort to accomplish his purpose, and only after a very severe struggle did she succeed in defeating him. Mrs. P., who was enceinte at the time, was taken prematurely ill, and died in a short time. As might have been expected, there was very great excitement, and threats of the direst revenge were freely made against Burnell. I am informed that a committee was organized and arrangements made for the lynching of Burnell had he attended the funeral. Some of his friends advised him to leave, which he did, and he staid away quite a while. His somewhat sudden and wholly unexpected return has caused the old feelings of animosity and revenge to break out anew, and threats were made that he would be killed.

Now comes another phase of the matter: John Hood, the father of the deceased Mrs. Perry, has written a letter to Mr. Burnell, his son-in-law. And accuses him (Burnell) of murdering Mrs. Perry, and coupling his accusations with very severe threats. This letter, as I am informed, was sent to Mrs. Burnell, Mr. Hood's other daughter. As a matter of course, its contents leaked out and when it was shown to Mr. Burnell, Sr., who is deeply attached to his son, who is working the homestead farm, the father at once commenced a suit for libel against Hood, and the papers have been served personally. Burnell,Sr., is quite well off. He is an Englishman, who, like so many others in that part of the country, came there in an early day very poor, and has made himself wealthy by sheer hard work and good management. Mrs. Burnell, the younger, clings to her husband as does the ivy to the old church-towers in the land whence her husband's parents came. She believes him wholly innocent, discredits every assertion made against him, and is as steadfast in her love and attachment as woman can be. Hood is well off, too, and a legal fight may be expected that will not only be costly, but will result in more bad blood if not in actual violence. It is claimed that Hood has offered $50 to any one who would shoot Burnell, denouncing him all the while as the murderer of his daughter. What adds to the interest of the matter is, that Mrs. Burnell was passionately fond of her deceased sister.

It is also claimed that Hood is, to use a common expression of his countrymen, "a wee bit daft;" that his mind is really affected, and that he is not accountable for his conduct. D. W. Summer, Esq., ex-District Attorney of Waukesha is retained by the plaintiff. He is a very able lawyer, and I am informed that he claims to have a clear case against Hood. The damages are laid at $5,000. So far no one has been retained for the defense. The trial cannot come off before the December term of the Circuit Court of Waukesha County. Already the excitement in the neighborhood is very high, and the worst passions are already aroused.

THE LETTER WAS DESTROYED.
WAUKESHA STILL EXCITED OVER THE DEATH OF MRS. P. H. PETERSON.

Waukesha, Aug. 20. - The interest in the suicide of Mrs. P. H. Peterson, rather increases than diminishes and enough facts have been elicited to indicate that the occasion of her taking her own life was one of domestic woe. The jurymen who served at the inquest said to-day that the facts brought out were of an unsatisfactory nature but that they felt warranted in returning only a verdict to the effect that deceased came to her death from the effects of poison, administered by her own hand. At the inquest it was ascertained that Mrs. Peterson left a communication which her husband destroyed before any other than himself was permitted to peruse it. It was found by Undertaker Williams in a garment which deceased laid in a bureau drawer where it would be likely to be sought for the very purpose that it was. Unfortunately Mr. Williams did not read the paper, but placed it behind a piece of sandpaper tacked on the wall in the room. From that place Mr. Peterson took it and read it and destroyed it. In his testimony he stated that it was burned by accident, along with a soiled handkerchief which was laid over it on the stand where he placed it. Throughout her illness no one but her husband and the attending physician, Dr. Bacon, save the children, are known to have been at the house. Neighbors were not called until the last moment, though they resided near, and the evidence can not be questioned that Mr. Peterson was not anxious that any one should see or talk with her but himself. It is these things, of which evidence is abundant, that renders the case of a startling nature, and this community has not been so wrought up for years as it is over this death.

REBUKE TO OSLER.

James Proctor, of Genesee, Aged 9O, Live Business Man.

A recent issue of "Fibre and Factory," a factory magazine, contained the following paragraph concerning James Proctor, a well known resident and business man of Genesee:

"James Proctor, Genesee, Wis., is without a doubt the oldest man in the business of yarn spinning in the country, who is actively interested. He buys and sells his output himself, and though close to 90 years of age would be insulted if one even hinted that he was getting old; he can be called a young man all right, and he acts the part without trouble. He journeys often to Waukesha and Milwaukee, and no doubt it is the medicinal properties in the Waukesha waters that keeps his blood circulating freely, as he is a firm believer in the merits of Waukesha waters. White Rock is his favorite water. He believes in the simon pure article, and will not work shoddy in his mill. Straight wool is his motto; he is making woolen yarns which are as near worsteds in appearance as it is possible to get it. This effect he gets on the yarn through attachments on his cards of his own invention."

Waukesha, May 15. - Capt. Foskett Maynard Putney, a well-known pioneer of Wisconsin, suffered a second stroke of paralysis last night and is not expected to survive. He has suffered from paralysis for two years past and, at his advanced age, it is feared he will not be able to withstand this last stroke, his condition to-night being regarded as very critical. Capt. Putney, who is a native of Madison county, N. Y., came to Wisconsin in May, 1830. When he was 9 years old his parents removed to White Pigeon, Mich., and while he resided there he engaged in mercantile and law business, taking an active part in the "Patriot" war and border contests, under a captain's commission conferred by Gov. Mason. In 1839 Capt. Putney located in Milwaukee, where he resided until 1845, when he removed to his farm at Prospect Hill, New Berlin, being engaged in the shoe and leather business. In 1850 he went to Waukesha where he had acquired some property and constructed the Railroad hotel, now American house. Ten years later having sold his hotel, he bought a farm in Brookfield where he lived till 1845, when he became manager of the Exchange hotel, which he conducted till 1863, when its owner Peter N. Custman, died. He then purchased the property, conducted it a few years and then leased it, temporarily resuming its management twice since that time, and retiring from active business in 1879. He was married at Belvidere, Ill., Nov. 3, 1839 to Clarissa Howell, who died in Waukesha in 1855. They had only one son, Col. Frank Howell.
