Livery Business
Watertown
Democrat, 09 16 1858
Going to Court—Messrs. Turner, Lindon and Bertholf & Humphrey will run regular lines of
carriages between this city and Jefferson during the term of the
Court. These gentlemen are all in the livery business and have
accommodated our citizens during summer’s heat and winter’s cold as occasion
required. They are certainly deserving a benefit when a trifle is to
be made. Those going to Jefferson will certainly consult their own
convenience and the interests of the “Regulars” by patronizing the old firms in
preference to the new comers or interlopers.

Watch Stolen
Watertown Republican, 10 12 1898
Saturday Deputy Sheriff Smith arrested, near Appleton, a
strange young man who is suspected of having stolen a silver watch from the
home of Norman Humphrey, on Sixth
Street, one day last summer. For obvious reasons the young man’s name is withheld
for the present. He was taken before
Justice Henze Monday and his preliminary examination
set for October 20, he meanwhile being lodged in, the county jail.
It is claimed that the suspect was engaged in taking orders
for enlarging pictures and in this capacity called at Mr. Humphrey's
residence. He was told by the servant
girl that nothing in was wanted in his line, after which she returned to her
duties in the rear part of the house.
The watch in question was lying on a shelf in the room which the agent
entered, and it being missing after his departure; it is supposed that he
embraced the opportunity to appropriate it.
The watch was subsequently sold at Beaver Dam, and this furnished a clue
to the apprehension of the suspect.
