The proprietor of what was then the Willow Springs Roadhouse at Whiskey
Corners (Town Line and Mill roads), Edward Wildisch suffered wounds to his leg
and chest. The chest wound was just above his heart, but the police report said
a rib bone bent the knife blade upward, saving his life.
The assailant, railroad section hand Charles Tisch, went to the roadhouse
Sunday evening and got into an argument with Wildisch, who ordered him to leave.
Police took Tisch to the Waukesha County Jail, where he was charged with assault
with intent to do great bodily harm.
