The north pier is being extended sixty
feet further into the lake by the U. s. Gov
eminent, and in accordance with an appro-
priation made for that purpose, the object
being better protection, to prevent if possible
further accretions Of sand on the bar just
outside the harbor, and to guard against
the encroachment of the water when the
wind is in the North. The north pier
has always been assigned as
cause for the current which washes
away the shore in the south part of the city,
and the policy of extending the north pier
has been questioned. Still the intention of
the promoters of the scheme is undoubtedly
good, and it would hardly seem that the
Government would appoint other than COM
petent engineers
Jonathan H Eastman, about seventy years
of age, an old resident of Kenosha, died very
suddenly on Tuesday afternoon, under pecu-
liar circumstances. Mr.. Eastman has been
hard working man all his life. A mason
by trade, he had few equals. He became un-
fortunate in his family affairs, and gradually
went from bad to worse, until the old gray
haired man who had fought the battle of life
as best he could simply sat down and died
He went to the store of Mr.. John B. Kupfer
about one o'clock and was given a cup of
coffee and lunch. The cold, damp air had
for place in which to warm himself Mr..
Kupfer sent him to the baking department IN
the rear of the store, where he could sit by
the furnace. A chair was placed for him and
he sat there, went to sleep and never woke.
About four o'clock the employees went to
him and found him dead. Mr.. Kupfer in his
Kindness had provided him with every COM
fort and was quite shocked when he was in
formed of the condition of things. He at
once notified the proper authorities. and the
body was removed to the engine house on
Market square. Justice NORM issued his pre-
cept for coroners jury. In the meantime
coffin was provided by Mr.. Zahnen, city poor
master, and the old man was laid as best he
could lie in that last tenement which all of
US sooner or later must occupy. The cor
oner's jury met at Justice Morin's office and
adjourned until Wednesday morning, when
they assembled, heard the testimony, and
rendered the following verdict: That the
said Jonathan H. Eastman, on the 4th day
Of October, 1881, in said county, in the
bakery Of John B. Kupfer, situated on Main
street in the said city of Kenosha, came to
his death that he had no marks of violence
on his body, and that he died by the vista
ton Of God, in o natural way, and not other
wise. In testimony whereof the said Justice
of the Peace and the jurors of this inquest
have hereunto set their hands the day and
year aforesaid.
