Frank Hubachek did have a Saloon in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. This is from the 1907 directory -

Just my two cents on this incredible find.
The quarry was also the site of the Rochester State Hospital (Asylum) opened as Minnesota Inebriate Asylum in 1879 (for Alcoholics)
With the Quarry and the Hospital there were supporting businesses and farms that sprung up to support the town, dairy, farm and a Slaughtehouse among them. Thus the notes being written on tickets for a butcher,

Although I initially thought the note was about a robbery I am actually beginning to think it is the story of a disgruntled worker who felt he was "robbed' of a promotion for whatever reason and in his drunken rage felt that the person writing the note was partly responsible and wanted him dead. In his drunken rage he also wanted to kill his boss and anyone in his way of the promotion.
Fearing for his life the author of this note wrote the events as evidence in the event he was found in his hiding place.
Just my thoughts, Interesting either way.
He doesn't write well, clearly.
Wonder in the Norwegian name is spelt phonetically like
Joleik = yohedrick (sp)
Or Jo Hedrick for yohedrick ( maybe writer was Norwegian which could explain the writing style )
he Just robbed me
and robbed them here too
