PINE ISLAND RECORD
Friday, June 28, 1895
In Justice Hagler's Court Monday Robert Jesse Chapman was arraigned on complaint of his wife Julia A. Chapman, for threatening to do personal injury. County Attorney McClure appeared for the plaintiff and Chapman was required to give $500 bond, good for six months. Constable Tome gave Chapman time to go in the country after a bondsman and has not yet returned. Parties needing mason work done are anxious in vain for his return.

Friday, July 5, 1895
GONE WEST
The plastering trade seems to be a trying one on the moral system and since Robert Chapman returned a few weeks ago with a second wife, the people of our little village have realized this fact more than ever before. A notice was posted on Chapman's door stating that he was not needed in the village, but he thought this only a bluff and filled his house at night with guns and a few friends, who were prepared to shoot. The enraged populace knew better than to stand before his guns and sent for the County Attorney as stated last week. Chapman was arrested for making threats and given time to get a bondsman. Finding no friends ready to risk $500 on the probabilities of his keeping the peace he left town
between two days, and wife No. 2 followed later. It is said they took train West from Kasson, and Clarence Chapman followed the same trail. Ed Cross has also fallen into bad company and has followed in the steps of Chapman. Particulars later.

July 12, 1895
It was Len Cross instead of Ed who followed Chapman. Cross took the wife of William Mace at Kasson and departed for a southern clime. Creditors and a large family are anxiously awaiting his return.
November 12, 1895 Clarence Chapman arrived Saturday from Glenwood, Wisconsin where he has been laboring in a hub and spoke factory during the summer.

February 19, 1897
Mrs. Julia Chapman was granted a divorce last week in Red Wing from her husband, Robert Chapman. She will assume her maiden name which was Dixon.
THE CASS COUNTY PIONEER
Walker, Minn. August 19, 1897 DIED
Saturday night at his home on the shore of Lake May, Robert J. Chapman departed this life. He had been ailing for some little time with (illegible) atory rheumatism, but no thought of his being dangerously ill
was entertained. He was walking to the house and fell dead instantly and without a word of warning. Mrs. Chapman ran and informed neighbors who came to her assistance. Telegrams were sent to his relatives and the funeral set for Tuesday at 10 a.m., which was postponed to Wednesday at 10 a.m. pending the arrival of his brothers from Alexandria and Osakis. Deceased was born at Dundee, New York, Aug. 5, 1852, and has been twice married. Mr. Chapman was highly thought of here, and a workman of no
little energy and his sudden and untimely death is lamented by all and every sympathy goes out to the sorrowing wife and family. Six children survive him, five of whom are living in the southern part of the state.
The funeral was held at the Congregational Church, Rev. Frank A. Brown officiating.

PINE ISLAND RECORD
MAY 31, 1906
Fred Chapman, a dissolute character formerly living in the village, figured in a sensational shooting affray on the island across from Red
Wing last Wednesday evening. He became involved in a quarrel with Mrs. Chas. Cook, manager of one of the dives for which the island is notorious and the woman drew a shotgun and fired at Chapman at short range and as a result Chapman lies at St. John's Hospital dangerously wounded, though it is said he will recover.

PINE ISLAND RECORD
JULY 26, 1906
May Cook, who shot Fred Chapman on the island a few months ago, was taken before Justice Curry at Judge Hager's Court yesterday, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. She waived examination and was held in $1000 bail, which she furnished. She then swore out a warrant for Chapman demanding that he give bonds to keep the peace. The justice ordered Chapman to give bonds for six months and as he was unable to do so, he was taken to Ellsworth where he will have to go to jail unless he can get somebody to go his bonds.

RED WING REPUBLICAN
