He was taken to the house of Mrs. Casey near by. Dr. Philler was called and afterwards Dr. Marks of Milwaukee was sent for. And he continued to breathe and that was all till death come to relief abouyt eleven o'clock on Saturday. When found he was breathing and nothing else. His face was badly bruised and his skull slightly cracked over the eye. The knuckles on his right hand was badly bruised showing unmistakable signs of foul play. A coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday and has continued till the present time.
Mr. Hanna was one of the most active politicians in New Berlin he has often been in office and always filled every position that he was placed in the entire satisfaction of his friends.
He was by nature a great man, a natural genius, a kind and true friend and an unforgetful enemy. He never forgot anything he ever read or heard of either of his friends or enemies, He had a keen sence of honor so much so that we are satisfied that he lived and died without a real enemy on earth unless it was HIMSELF.
