MATEJ NENAHLO
BRUTAL MURDER AT REEDSVILLE
Manitowoc, April ? --An old man named Matthias Nenalo, aged about fifty five
years, was brutally murdered at the village of Reedsville, this county, Monday,
by four young men named Morask, as announced in Tuesday’s Wisconsin, briefly.
They claimed that Nenalo’s son owed them $4 which he refused to pay. The old
man interceded in his son’s behalf, whereupon one of them struck him on the
head with a club, felling him to the floor. They then beat him about the head
and chest with a chair until life was nearly extinct. He lingered until morning,
when he died, not having regained consciousness from the time he was struck.
Two of the murderers were arrested and brought here last night, and lodged in
jail. Another was captured here this morning. The fourth is still at large.
