"A new species of tramp, has at last
struck Waukegan. This fellow is a
bicycle tramp and a gang Of his kind
visited that city Sunday. They looked
like ordinary wheelmen who had been
taking a hard run and when they dis
mounted at the court house square lit
tie attention was paid them. After a
short rest one of the gang was left in
charge Of the wheels and the rest scat
tered in search of handouts" It is a
new wrinkle and is probably quite sue
ceSsful.
"A second meeting called for the
purpose of making arrangements to
organize Racine and Kenosha county
fair, was recently held in Union Grove.
Those who attended the meeting de-
cided that there were conditions
enough favorable to the re- establish
ment of such an institution to warrant
them in going ahead with it. So an
option has been taken on a piece of
property near Union Grove about a
half mile north of the county line. 1t
is proposed to purchase this ground
and hold the annual fairs upon it.
They will hold another meeting June
6, for the purpose of pushing the mat
ter along further. The farmers all
about that part of the two counties are
all alive on the question, and are de-
termined to have fair.
City Clerk Gus Jacob is the proud
possessor of brand new gold watch,
and all it cost him was a postage
stamp and a little puzzle working.
Some time ago E. B. Schoenike offered
long list of prizes for the solution of a
rebus, which, when made out, was an
advertisement for medicine he was
putting up. Mr.. Jacob got in the first
correct reply and therefore won the
capital prize. Mr.. Schoenike delivered
the prizes won here in town today.
Mr.. Jacob was also the winner of a
sterling silver scarf pin. The other
prize winners in Kenosha and their
prizes are as follows: John M. Con-
rad, gents gold chain; Charles w.
Baier, silver meat fork; Miss Katie
Steinmetz, set silver teaspoons; Her.
man Koehler and John Scherer, each
one Cross business pencil.
Several weeks ago an old safe was
found embedded in the mud, beneath
the water of one of the Twin lakes. 1t
was discovered by fisherman who
saw the object distinctly under the
waves and who was even able to give
its shape, size and general dimensions.
Immediately the old residents remem-
bered story to explain it's present po-
sition. 1t seems that in 1866 bank in
Elkhorn was robbed of something like
$4,000. The burglary was unique
one in as much as the robbers did not
take the money only, but took the safe
as well. The safe, a large old-fash-
toned one, was never seen afterwards,
although much time, labor and money
were expended in the search. Neither
was any clew found of the robbers or
any traces to tell of the direction they
had taken with their plumber. Shortly
afterward, two brothers, the lone resi-
dents of house on English prairie,
disappeared, and the mischief has al
ways been laid at their door. 1t was
said that they went to Europe, and
travelled in foreign countries with the
money that had come into their pos
session. Preparations were made to
raise the safe, and the whole surround
ing country was greatly excited. The
local papers deyoted a great deal of
space to descriptions of the burglary,
its perpetrators and the efforts being
made to raise the safe. When it was
at last brought up to the light, it was
found to be an old cook stove. Thus
another sensation has been knocked
