THE RICHMOND (IN) ITEM, Tuesday, May 6, 1890
"There was a right lively scrap Saturday night at midnight. Andy Minner, Joe Temmelman, Jake Minner, Paddy Fitzgibbons and Wm. Welch were mixed up in it. They were all arrested on warrants by Officers Kuhlman, Golden and Fryar. They all plead not guilty this morning. The evidence showed that they came out of Boesch's saloon a a quarter after 12, and shook hands, threw brickbats and cursed and swore and knocked each other about at a lively rate. They were each found guilty and fined nine-ninety . Fitzgibbons and Welch settled their fines but the others went to jail."

"SKIPPED AWAY
Last evening after knocking down and robbing Frank Bielake in Tony Overman's saloon as stated in the ITEM, Jake Minner and Dock Temmelman skipped out. Mrs. Overman thinks Temmelman tried to make Minner desist, but is going away is against him. Warrants are out for the arrest of both, and should they be proven guilty of the robbery, they will go to the pen."

"A SCALY MAN
RICHMOND FURNISHES A DIME MUSEUM CURIOSITY
We learn that Doc Temmelman has stuck it rich. He has hired himself to a Chicago museum at a salary of $50 a week to appear before the public as the wonderful scaly man. The truth is he is a great curiosity though the fact is not generally known. His arms and legs are literally covered with scales like fish scales. He has been this way from birth. The scales are perfect and really make him a great curiosity. Members of the police force who have seen the scales on him do not doubt but that he has been engaged as above stated.
He left here some time since under a small cloud. He has in the past caused the police a great deal of trouble, but the police officers do not regard him as a naturally bad man. The say he is all right when not drinking and would not be bad then but for the influence of his associates leading him off.
Having secured such a paying job it is hoped that he will have no more trouble and will do well."

"We are told on the street to-day that Doc Temmelman, well known here, is dead. He left about two years ago to travel with a museum; and it is reported that he died last week at Jersey City."
Monday, May 9, 1892
"The remains of Doc Temmelman were brought to the city and taken to Downing & Son's yesterday. The funeral occurred this morning from St. Andrew's church."
