William Krause, the oldest Inhabitant of Plymouth
County Dies at Great Age
William Krause, probably the oldest inhabitant of Plymouth county died
last Friday at the home of his grandson Henry Wiebking, in Lincon township,
aged ninety-five years and six months.
Mr Krause was a native of Germany and was born at Kettzern, Pommerania,
on September 21, 1811.
He was united in marriage in the year 1897 to Dorothea Louise Krieu and
in 1867 they came to America and settled in Wisconsin. Two years later they
moved to South Dakota and finally settled in Plymouth county in 1878. Mrs
Krause, who was five years younger to a day than her husband, being born on
September 21, 1816, died on May 23, 1897; aged eighty years and eight
months. The worthy couple enjoyed wedded felicity for sixty years lacking a
few months and ten children were born to them, three of whom died in Germany
and one daughter Emelie in this country. The six living children are August
living in Oregon: Ferdinand, of this city, Fredrich, Mandan, North Dakota,
August, Lincoln township, Mrs Wilhelmina Steinshowers, Bronson, Iowa, and
Mrs Anna Lemke, of this county. There are thirty-one grandchildren and
twenty one great grand-children.
The funeral was held on Monday at the home of Henry Wiebking, and was
very largely attended by old friends and neighbors and the interment was
made in the cemetery of the Lincon Lutheran church.
During his long life, Mr Krause was blessed with splendid health and
hardly knew what sickness was. The day of his death, he came down stairs
from his room and ate dinner with the family. He passed away about six
o'clock in the evening while sitting in a chair and the end of life came to
him as a peaceful sleep.

The Graff case has proved absorbingly interesting to a large number
judging by the crowds which have swarmed the court room the past few days.
Every seat in the room has been occupied, many have stood up to listen to
the testimony. The arguments were begun yesterday, H D Boies for the
defense beginning followed by G T Struble for the prosecution. G C Scott for
the defense and J U Sammis for the prosecution spoke in the afternoon,
delivered the instructions to the jury which at this writing has the case in
hand.
A scare was created in court yesterday morning while Attorney Boies was
pleading for the defendant, and depicting what grief and anguish would
befall the family if Greff went to the penitentiary. Mrs Greff was overcome
with emotion and went into a fit of hysterics and medical aid was summoned
and court adjourned half an hour before the usual time.
The case has created wide interest and discussion as to Greff's guilt and
heard on every corner.
In addition to the lawyers mentioned, P A Boland has been assisting the
defense and County Attorney Keenan assisting J U Sammis and G T Struble.

HURT IN SAWMILL
Max Blenkburg Has Left Side Badly Crushed and Several Ribs Broken.
A bad accident occurred at the August Binnebose farm in Lincoln township
on Wednesday afternoon while a gang of men were sawing wood at that place,
of which Max Blankenberg was the victim. Blankenburg was of the crew
operating the sawmill. Two young men named Muecke and Binnebose who were
assisting in the work were carrying the planks away from the mill.
They lifted a plank 2x8 twenty eight feet long, over the machine, to lay
it on one side, instead of carrying away from the side of the machine as is
ordinarily done. The timber struck the sawmill and was dashed against
Blankenburg's left side, crushing him badly and breaking all his ribs and
pressing onto his heart. Dr Mammen is in attendance on the injured man who
is in serious condition at the home of his sister, Mrs G Mathwig, where he
was taken after the accident.

     An attempt is being made to obtain a pardon from Governor Cummins
for James Stewart, convicted of criminal assault in the Plymouth county
district court at the October term, 1905.  The victim was his own
daughter, May Stewart, aged thirteen.  Stewart was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary.  The members of the jury which convicted
Stewart have received letters asking them to sign a petition for
Stewart's pardon.  Two of the jurors expressed the opinion that
