WHY HE sUICIDED.
Ritter and Miller Had Sawed the Jail
Bars and Couldn't Get Out.


Last Friday this paper in special
from Racine told of the suicide of
George Ritter, the young man who had
attempted to murder his wife by stab
bling her about dozen times. A story
now comes from Racine which tells the
why Of it.
It seems that Ritter and Frank Mil
Ter, the desperate burglar and Sackett
partner, had thrown their fortunes to-
gefher in the Racine Jail Some way
they had managed to get hold of an
old knife. They rugged up saw out
of it and had succeeded in saving
through bar of the jail and would
have escaped had it not been for the
vigilance Of the jail officials. They
kept such close watch that it was
impossible to get away. On Wednes-
day Miller was taken out Of jail and
sent to Waupun for six years. Ritter
was to DE taken out and tried on
Friday. He grew respondent over the
failure to get out and suicided. The
plan be and Miller had was to take the
sawed bar of iron with them and brain
the jail attendant, if they could ever
find him alone. AS it happened. the
jailor always had assistance at hand
This is the story told of their plans by
the confession of a fellow prisoner.
Whether true or not. the bar was found
sawed off.

THE 1897 MODEL OF WHEELS
Some Radical Changes Will Make the New
wheels Entirely New.

wheels hnb1Te1Y new.
Nearly all the bicycle manufacturers
claim their '97 models will be new"
or at least '96 made over.u Six
months ago there was general ten
dency to build the '97 wheels similarly
to those of this season, but all the con-
sentative attitude of the wheelmakers
has passed away, and the best known
wheels have changed radically so far as
construction goes.
Each manufacturer has pored over
his long list of complaints and sugges-
tons, submitted his troubles to me-
chanical experts and is now ready to
place the real thing" upon the mar
ket. The first thing the average
manufacturer says when asked about Il
'97 model is: +" 1t is new; new hubs,
new franks, new shafts, new fork
crown, new systems for setting up the
seat post and handle bars" Still the
lines and details of 1915 will be adhered
to by almost every maker. There is a
slight change in the weight noted
among many Of the new wheels, the
tendency being to make them some
what heavier. This is not character
lied as a step backward, because it is
believed the wheels are rendered more
suitable for road driving.
Inside connections by means Of flush
joints are seen almost everywhere and
are proving very satisfactory. There
are also expanders for fastening the
seat posts and handle bars in place of
the old compression clamp. The max
ers have dispensed with the old way Of
setting on cranks by means Of the CEN
ter pin. Now one and Two piece
cranks and shafts are nsed The Co.
lumbia wheel was the first to adopt a
crank of this type. Many OF the firms
are using the square section crank,
which has been for long time popular
in England. They are also using q new
type of hub bearings, known as disk
adjusting Tn this the cores are i'm
movable on the axle. The disk of the
cups is inward, the cups screwing into
the hub ends. Permanent align ment
VI Vic UdIb lCCS dllkl ID OuuobhDO COJuo
ment of the cups are claimed for this
method of construction. The wheels
may be taken entirely from the frame
for replacement Of Il tire or any other
repair and then put back without dis
turbing the adjustment. Another nov
city is the d section tubing which the
Sterling company is using for rear
forks. The once popular tire 81 smooth
slippery surface is doomed. i = s al
most wholly disappeared, bee te at
tention is now centered in the rough
tread tire.
The new fork crown, which A. made
from tubing. is arehed and tabular.
The saddle post binder is new and of
the internal fastening order. 1t may be
adjusted by one turn of the bolt head,
which is situated at the top of the
| frame Bail retainers are fitted
throughout, SO that machine may be
taken apart by an inexperienced rider
without misplacing the balls.
| The Sterling has D shaped tubing
on the rear forks only, to admit OF
| larger tires without widening the tread.
1t has square shaped cranks, larger
sprockets front and rear. The use of
| the arch front bars is continued. The
Sterling roadster is about one pound
| heavier than last season.

The Old Proprietor of the Wilmot Hotel
Passes Away.

John Hegeman, ST., the aged pro-
prietor of the Wilmot hotel, one OF the
old landmarks of the county, died at
his home last Saturday night, aged 76
years. The cause of his death was the
general debility incident to old age.
Mr.. Hegeman was one of the old
pioneers of Kenosha county. He came
here from Germany in 1917 and settled
in Wheatland. He remained in that
town until 1867, when he went 20 Will
mot to take charge of the Wilmot hotel.
He has resided there ever since and
his name is a familiar one to every one
who has heard of Wilmot. He was a
man who was greatly loved by his fam
lily and held the respect of all who
knew him throughout his life.
He left a widow and five children, all
of whom still reside in this county ex-
cept one. The children are: Henry, OF
Green Valley, H.; John, the we'll
known blacksmith here; Mrs. G. A,
Voltz, of Salem township; Louis, who
has always remained at home, and Mrs
f. j. Sabin, of Wllmot.

He LEFT Els HORSE THERE
Young Clerks Joke on himself After a
Call on Els Best Girl.

Call on Els Best Girl.
A good joke is being told on GER
tain young clerk in one of the promi
nent downtown stores. A few even
ings ago he went to call upon his
Dulcina del Toboso, who resides on the
outskirts of the city, driving the family
Rosinanta. He started for home late,
and having the delights of the evening
in mental review he forgot about the
faithful equine that he had tethered in
the dooryard. The next morning he
rose, and as was his wont. went to the
barn to care for the horse. The stall
was empty! Then the awful truth
burst upon him that the animal was
still tied in the doorway at the home
of his lady love, unless, perchance, he
had wearied of his position and broken
his moorings. The steps that boy took
in going for that horse would have put
the individual with league boots
to shame.
