The Knight Templars of this CITY

1
Chicago to the grand convention.
Several Sir knights from Racine were
in this city on Saturday evening last
to assist those here in their drilling ex-
ercises.
The Union Temperance League held
picnic at the grove near Mr.. Rice's
residence, in Somers, on Tuesday
evening. A large number were in at
tendance; the evening was delightful
and dancing OH the green the favorite
amusement.
/ On Thursday Of last week Joseph
Schanzer, the party who assaulted
Samuel Waller at the Poor House last
week, was brought before Justice Steb-
bins on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, with intent to murder.
Schanzer pleaded not guilty, and the
case was adjourned until July 26th.
Geo. Meredith, Jersey City, writes
The Spring Blossom you sent me has
had the happiest effect on my daugh-
ter; her headache and depression of
spirits has vanished. She is again
able to go to school and is as lively as
a cricket. Ishall certainly recommend
| it to all my friends.
Mr.. Norman Barns fell over a pile
of lumber on the sidewalk near C. W.
Georges planning mill on Judson ave-
nue., last Thursday evening, and sus-
tanned serious injuries. This lumber
had been permitted to obstruct the
walk for several days, and Mr.. Barns
will claim damages from the city.
Maj. Robert S. Clark, Paymaster in
the U. S. Army, stationed at Omaha,
visited his sister, Miss Clark, on Park
avenue, the first of the week. Mai.
Clark is the father-in-law of the late
Maj. Thornburgh. He is an old resi-
dent of Kenosha, and known to many
of our people.
According to the returns of the
enumerators, Kenosha has a population
of 5,043, a gain of so since 1870. It.
ought to have doubled in the last ten.
years, and would have done so if there
had been fair degree of enterprise
and public spirit shown by our citizens.
However, Kenosha beats Waukegan,
the population of that city being 4,739.
About eleven o'clock on Saturday
night a gang of roughs attacked a
Dane near the corner of Park and
Main streets. They kicked and beat
him numerically, and only desisted
in order to make their escape when he
cried out murder" in tone of voice
that could be heard from one end of
the street to the other. No arrests.
A barn belonging to Mr.. James
Gray, Of Bristol, was struck by light
ming during the shower on Sunday
night and burned down. Two COWS
were also burned. The corn crib and
cow house were only saved by the
heavy rain falling at the time. Mr..
Gray's loss is $1,000. Insured in the
Town Insurance Company for 5000.
Several Of our citizens went to Chi
cago on Tuesday to witness the races,
in which Mr.. Bain's celebrated horse,
''Barkis," was to take a part. The
horse came on to the track in appar-
emily good condition, but before a
start was effected he showed signs of
being sick or having been tempered
with, and was withdrawn. Barkis
will trOt, if nothing happens, on Sat-
urday. He is a fine animal, and
promises great speed, and our Kenosha
people are much interested in the race
on his account, and hope to see him
win.
