RACINE, Wis j, May 11.-Under the new
Democratic adj hinistration the Belle city
has become the liveliest place of its size in
the state Last night five new saloons
were opened an ID free lunch served. The
town was alive with drunken men, and
many minors could be seen Keeling along.
Fights and shooting matches were numer-
Gus. On North Main street a young man
named Van Taa sci and three men became
involved in a fight; Van Tassel shot at
two of them five times, but the bullets did
not take effect On Seventh street to-
night Peter job nson and two men were
elected from Ce ntral hotel, johnson kicked
the door down, and when boarder went
out to remonstrh te was shot at, the bullet
coming close to his head. After baseball
game this afterho four young men be-
came involved in fight, and two of them
were cut and bruised. A drunken boy
threw a stone through H. Muller's store
front and broke a $75 plate glass window.
Many other sha meful depredations are re-
ported. Saloon run wide open until after
II o'clock, and all day every day in the

Soren Branst rup and David Phillips. two
we'll known yd ung men Of this city, were
arraigned befor Judge Van Wyck in the
county court at Kenosha last Thursday af-
ternoon, and pl eaded guilty to breaking in
to a Chicago & Northwestern railroad
freight car and stealing several kegs of
beer. The Judge after giving the young
fellows short lecture, sentenced each to
the state prison at Waupun, Wis, for term
of two years and they were taken to the
prison by the Sheriff Friday morning The
condemned men did not seem to mind their
fate, taking it as coolly as though being
sent home from work. Both of these
young fellows were born and reared in Ra-
cine and have kind and respectable parents.
Everything wa S done to bring the boys up
right, but they were hayward and inhabited
the huts, which were so numerous here
There they lea rned to smoke and drink and
other vile habits. Their first ofense was to
break into boat house. They were found
guilty and Judge Winslow read them a
moral lecture and suspended sentence.
Phillips and Branstrup secured a position
at the J. |. Cas- Plow shops and for long
time were steady and behaved themselves.
Several weeks ago, however, after receiving
their pay, they went out, got full, and
brought up at Kenosha, where evil associ-
| ates were met They were influenced to
break into the car and steal the beer. Sew
eral trainmen saw them at the work
Branstrup was caught, but Phillips escaped.
| The next morning, Monday, G. & NV.
Ry. detective came here and took him back
to Kenosha, and as above stated they were
sentenced Thur day. Here is sad case.
Other young men should profit by it, and
shun bad and evil associates. -Rocine Jour-
