William Pelter and William Spreckler
appeared before Justice Slater Saturday on
the charge of stealing coal from the C. &
n. w. Ry. The men are laborers en-
ployed at the State Line by Chicago gray
el company. They ran out of fuel and not
having received the money due them by
the gravel company, had to steal or freeze,
and so took the former alternative The
c. & n. w. detective who caught them in
the act, asked Justice Slater to give them
the slightest possible sentence. The JUS
tice fined them SIS and costs:
"A meeting of the Kenosha County Bar
was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at
the office of the County Judge, Judge Van
Wyck presiding, for the purpose of express
ing respect to the memory of Judge Mar
tin, formerly County Judge. On motion of
Mr.. Cavanagh, a committee of three was
appointed to draft appropriate resolutions
Messrs. Cavanagh, Brande and Baker were
Judge Martins memory, the county court
adjourned for the day and the meeting adj
iourned until Friday, when the committee
on resolutions will report.
The Board of Education has done con.
siderable work lately, but it has consisted
mainly in trying to harmonic conflicting
ideas. At a meeting Of the Board Tuesday
evening they elected Mr.. F. S. Allen, of
Joliet, as the architect and they are trying
to agree upon the style and size of the
building they want. A disposition to be
penny wise and pound foolish seems to con
troll some of the members. They seem to
think that by electing ward buildings af-
ter while west of the railroad or in other
parts of the town they obviate the necessity
for decent High School building. The
truth is, the more ward buildings are neces-
sary. the larger the High School building
will need to be. Ward schools cannot take
the place of the High School and an ordin-
airy acquaintance with school matters ought
to show them the folly of erecting an eight
room building when twelve room build
ing will not be any too large. 1t is rather
late anyhow to oppose the erection of a
building that will be credit to the city
and will meet fully the purposes Of High
School building. Old fogyism is bad
enough anywhere, but it is suicidal in
school matters. BY all means, gentlemen,
get together, agree and do yourselves credit
by giving the children of Kenosha mod
ern school building. The public sentiment
demands it.
