Last Sunday evening, Miss Annie Halberg, daughter of Jens Halberg of
Mishicot was accidently or designedly shot by some unknown person while
on her way to her boarding place in the Town of Rapids where she is
engaged in teaching school. The ball was undoubtedly from a revolver of
small caliber and she was wounded in her left arm, though not seriously.
She was taken to Manitowoc to have her wound attended to and an effort
was made by the authorities to unravel the mystery enshrouding the
affair. The young lady thinks the injury entirely accidental and that
the bullet came from quite a distance.
