The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1882-06-09

Mr.. Henry O. Sholes. editor of the
Southport (now Kcnosha) american, in
1848-49, died at the residence of his son, Mr.
A. 7. Shoies, Wyandott, Kansas, on the 29th
ult.. aged rs years. Mr.. Snoles was a prin-
ter by profession. and learned his trade
with Hon. Ben Wade, of Ohio.
The schooner Industry, which was in this
harbor last week. capsized just north Of the
harbor at South Haven, Mich, during the
storm on Saturday evening. Capt King and
his son, of st. Joseph, and all his crew were
drowned. She was near the shore and the
wreck was witnessed by hundreds of men,
but. owing to the terrible sea. it was impos-
sible to render any assistance to The drown
ing crew. When first seen the sailors were
clinging to the rigging, but they were washed
away one by one until all were lost. The
captain was the last to 60 down, and he was
at enc time so near the beach that he was
recognized by acquaintance on shore.
Mr.. Walter Mcpherson, Springfield, Mass.

One of the most terrific and uncomfortable
storms occurred on Friday night and Satur-
day of last week, and continued in milder
form through Sunday. The wind blew from
the northeast, shaking buildings, rafting
signs, throwing the water Of the lake upon
the beach with terrible fury, making the
whole town appear more like genuine
pandemonium than otherwise. All were
anxiously peering, striving to see glimpse
of the silver lining behind the cloud, but
only wakened Sunday to see the rain still
falling, though the wind had generally sub
sided. On Monday the sun came out to
cheer us, and present indications are that we
shall have season of reasonably good and
growing weather.
The enthusiasm engendered in anticipation
of the Fourth of July among our people is
very commendable. thorough effort is be-
ing made by the committee to make all
needful arrangements. 1t is cheering that
the citizens have responded so readily with
their cash subscriptions, and there is now
little doubt that the best Fourth Of July
celebration will take place in Kenosha that
has been witnessed for several years. We
hope our country people will respond to the
cordial invitation extended to them, and will
unite in making this one of the pleasantest
occasions of the kind we ever had Company
E, 9th Regiment, of Chicago, have offered to
take part in the proceedings of the day here if
our citizens will defray their expenses. BY
our citizens inviting them to their homes
during their stay here, which would probably
be from Monday night until Wednesday
morning, the expenses of keeping them would
be very light. This was done in Sandwich,
ILL.,, the last place the Company visited. The
Gazette of that place says they are very
select Company of the best families of Chi
cago, and they made themselves very popu-
lar there by their admirable behavior. Due
notice of the exercises will be given.
Many wonder how Parker's Ginger Tonic
can perform such varied cures, thinking it
simply essence of ginger, when in fact it is
made from many valuable medicines which
act henefcially on every diseased organ

On Saturday night last, about half-past
eleven clock, as officer Harkins was in the
line of his duty trying the doors along the
alley east Of Main street he was set upon by
two fellows named William Smith and George
Milward, and was badly beaten, kicked and
mutilated. 1t seems some conversation had
occurred in Mic. Wines saloon previous to
the occasion mentioned, in which Smith and
Milward attempted to rake up the ashes of
Harkins' dead brother, and intimating that
they would reek their vengeance upon the
dead by some indignity upon the living.
They were heard to say that if Harkins
came in the alley down which they had
passed they would fix him, after he had told
them to leave him alone; that he wanted to
have nothing to do with them. They were
as good as their word, and when he reached
the point referred to he was approached by
Milward coming from lurking place on one
side, and by Smith from the other He took
every precaution possible and made all
possible resistance. He was finally over
powered by the combined force of the two
and felled to the ground, Milward going
with him. He was held down by Miiward
while Smith kicked him in the head and
body in q most brutal manner. Smith was
pulled off by a young man present four
successive times, and each time returned
to repeat his brutal outrages. Harkins pre-.
sented pitiable appearance on Sunday,
with his head kicked to jelly. The Sheriff,
upon hearing of the affair, promptly arrested
the assaulting parties, and lodged them in
jail. On Monday warrant was sworn out
before Justice Gillett, and they were brought
to trial, where the facts, substantially as
herein stated, were developed. The inves-
LEGATION continued until seven o'clock in the
evening, in the presence of a crowded court
room, and resulted in the defendants being
found guilty and fined twenty-five dollars each
and the costs of the trial, or ninety days in
the county jail. In default of payment of
fine they were committed to jail The affair
has created no little excitement, the senti-
ment of the better class of people being in
favor of Harkins, whom they believe to be
a faithful and efficient officer. Some say
the fine imposed is none too severe, while
others think it should have been more. In
any event, the citizens are bound to stand by
their chosen officers and to protect them SO
far as they can against the wanton attacks
of unruly persons. 1t is the best test of a
good officer that he incurs the enmity of the
rougher element. The officer who has their
confidence and good will has no business on
the force. The citizens begin TO see this,
and they are determined that law and order
shall be preserved at all hazards, and that a
certain class who infest the town shall be
made to yield to the powers that be.
ENJOY HEALTH AND BE HAPPY.
