During the storm on Sunday night
Berthoid Blauer, Sam Eichler, Charles
Englehardt and Hugo Stein went to
fasten Schend & Gonnerman's pile driver
with chains to the piling. After fasten-
ing the driver three of them got into the
boat to 60 ashore, Eichler remaining on
the driver to let out line which was
fastened to the boat. While on the way
the rope got under the boat and upset
it, throwing the occupants into the
water. Stein and Englehardt got into
the boat, but Blauer was unable to do
so, and came near drowning, as he re-
manned under the water for some time.
He is indebted to Henry Bond for saw
ing his life, as Bond ran along the piling
and got on to the driver and got him
out of the water. The life-saving crew
were summoned, and lent their assist
ance with their surfboat in getting all
ashore.
We regret to have to record this
week the death of Mr.. Alfred Grosven.
or, which occurred at Omaha, Neb., on
Tuesday. Mr.. Grosvenor had been in
poor health all winter, ard. last week,
thinking change of air would be
beneficial. started for Omaha. When
he got to Chicago. he was obliged to
remain there day or two, and then
started for his destination. After ar
irving at Omaha he wrote to his wife,
saying he was feeling very much bet
ter. Tuesday telegram was received,
saying he had had hemorrhage and
was very low. 1t was followed in
about an hour by another, saying he
was dead. MIR. Hansen left on the 5 :23
train to bring the body home. During
the ten or twelve years Mr.. Grosvenor
has lived in Kenosha he has been very
popular with our people, and had a
host of friends, who deeply sympathize
with his wife and family in their sad
bereavement. Mr.. Grosvenor was a
member of the Royal Arcanum, in
which he carried $4,000 insurance.
He leaves wife and three small
children to mourn his loss. His re-
mains arrived here on the 4: "A train
yesterday, and his funeral will take
place at 2 80 this friday afternoon.
Every man should make provision
for his family in case of death. One of
the best ways of doing so is by becoming
a member of Court Kenosha No. 1874 I.
0. F., which is non-sectarian and non
political. This Court is branch of the
High Court of Illinois. On the death of
a member only sufficient amount is
assessed to pay the insurance benefit of
81 900. AS there are over Is 900 men,
bers in the order, the average assess
ment is less than eight cents for each
death. If a member becomes sick and
is unable to pay his assessments, he
does not lose his standing, but the
amount of his assessments is deducted
from the insurance benefit of $1,000 if
he dies. This is a feature that commends
itself to all. There is no sinking fund.
Each local court pays its members six
months in good standing IS per week
when sick and unable to work. To pro-
vide for the payment Of the sick benefits
and necessary running expenses, each
member pays Sc dues per year. Only
men under As years of age and of good
moral character are eligible for member
ship. Any man in the county having
these qualifications can become MEM
Der. No fine is imposed for non.attend-
ance at meetings. Court Kenosha meets
on the second and fourth Tuesday even
