officers O'Hare and Newhouse Undecided
Cd the Question.

The question which is pulling Off
GERS Joseph Newhouse and Owen
OHare, is: Did we strike a cyclone or
just common tornado Sunday night?
They we're patrolling their beat to-
gether on West Main street near Pom
eroy when they ran into three fellows
who we're drunk. Their orders we're
to arrest any and all men in that con-
dition. So they sailed up alongside
and hailed. Instead of being merchant
men they turned out pirates and re-
fused to accompany the representatives
of the law. One man, John Dwyer,
proceeded to put up as strong fight as
police officers in this city ever had to
contend with. Dwyer was just drunk
enough to have all his passions fired to
a frenzy. He fought like demon.
He is very small man, but his activ-
ity more than made up for all he lack
ed in size. His fists flew, his feet kick
ed, his teeth bit. Witnesses to the
scene say that no such battle is to be
seen in war as that the officers we're
obliged to face with Dryer. O'Hare
had the knuckles on one hand thrown
out of joint and Newhouse had the end
of one finger bitten off slightly. Blows
from fist and club seemed to have little
effect; but the fellow was got to the
jail somehow-the officers can't say
how.
At the jail Under Sheriff Harkins
took hand and there another fight
took place. Mr.. Harkins made two
rounds of it. The second landed
Dryer with such force against the iron
floor of the cell that he made no fur

next term of the circuit court in the
sum of $500 on the charge of resisting

A TALE OF THE TRAIL.
Johnson Jackson's Health Disturbed by a
Recent Experience.

There is another story out. 1t con-
corns Johnson Jackson, the hunter,
trail-fnder, scout and all round sports
man. As nearly as can be learned he
went on fishing excursion recently
somewhere up north, and some Of the
companions who went with him are
very solicitous about his health which
received a severe shock by reason of
nervous strain consequent upon being
lost. A representative of this paper,
having caught clue to this story,
has been to considerable trouble to
work out all the narrowing details of
it, but owing to lack of space only the
salient points can be given here.
Jackson prides himself on finding
his way around in the woods, and in
making portage from one lake to
another he insisted on following a GER
tain trail which appeared before him.
He was accompanied by Mr. Willard.
Messrs. Hannahs and Windsor cut
straight through the woods and reach
ed the objective point in a few
moments. They lost all sight of
Jackson. He wandered on. Nearly
an hour passed and yet Jackson didn't
appear. Finally away off in the dis
lance pistol shot sounded. Jackson's
mind had evidently become unsettled
about his trail-fnding proclivities and
he wanted to hear from some friendly
gun, but no sound reached him. He
wandered on. The sun began to lower
in the west, and still Jackson didn't
appear. But just as Old Sol had pull
ed down the coverlets and sheets pre-
paratOry to tumbling in to his rest,
jackson dragged himself into camp,
foot sore, weary and much distressed
in mind and body. He had wandered
away about eight miles and when he
fred his revolver the boys in camp
let him wander instead of replying to
his shot.
When he got into camp he was
wroth. Mosquitoes which lit on hts
collar were baked to a rich brown
crisp. The words which did roll from
his lips were like unto a crater of
Vesuvius in full eruption. He enjoyed
it not. There were only two in the
party who did. They were Windsor
and Hannahs.

KILLED AT A CROSSING.
Dick Riley Struck by C. g NV Pas
senger Train.

Dicko Riley is dead. He was
struck by the north bound passenger
train due here at $50 Saturday night
and was so fatally injured that death
followed early Sunday morning.
Dick" was quite. well known
character about these parts. He was
in town Saturday and as was his usual
custom Is. 5ibed from the flowing bowl
to an eXtent which is not considered
steadying to ones actions. He started
to go home in the evening and got to
the Prairie avenue crossing just as the
train mentioned did. He was in sin
gle rig and his horse had just got on
the west side of the track as the loco
motive caught the buggy. Riley was
landed on the cow catcher where he
assumed an upright sitting posture and
was taken to the depot thus, The
buggy was cut clean from the horse
and was smashed to bits. The horse
was uninjured. The body was taken
care of at the depot where the man
fingered until morning before he died.
He was attended by DR.. Farr, but he
was beyond medical assistance. After
he died the remains were taken in
charge by Undertaken Hansen, who
prepared them for removal to his late
home.
There is feature about this affair
which makes it very striking one.
He had small hole stove in his head
and one leg was broken. In almost
every particular the case resembles
that of Fred Bull, who was killed near
the same place about two or three
weeks ago. Even the minor details
appear as though the two cases had
been worked off according to set
program.

TO HAVE A TRADES COUNCIL.
One to be Organized Here Some Time this
Week


The work of organizing the various
tradesmen and other laborers in Ke-
nosha has been going OF very vigorous
ly for the past year. Nearly every
trade in the city has it's union. Now
in order to cement the bonds of union
ism an excursion was run to Racine
Sunday conveying about 700 persons
representing different trade organiza-
tions. 1t is estimated that fully 1000
people attended the picnic including
those who went on other trains, bikes
and il other conveyances. They were
met at Racine with a brass band and
escorted to Lincoln park. where amuse-
ments of different kinds were had. At
the park representatives of the differ
ent unions met in mass meeting and
took steps for the organization OF a
Federated Trades and Labor council
in Kenosha. Ell. A. Martin was elected
temporary president and G. G. 5Shierk
temporary secretary. After a thorough
discussion as to the benefits of such an
organization it was deemed, by those
present, expedient to take steps for or
ganization, and the following repre-
sentatives were selected to issue a call
for that purpose:
Fl. A. Martin, bicycle workers.
Ted Burg, BARRIERS.
Matt Brady, Brassmill.
T. Fl. O'Malley, bricklayers.
Miss Marie Coyle, knitting works.
Dwight House, typographical.
They then adjourned subject to the
call of the president.
This organization is provided for by
the American Federation of Labor of
which Samuel Gompers, of New York,
is the head. 1t is central body made
up of the representatives of the various
unions affiliated with the main national
body and is given large jurisdiction
over the matters coming Immediately
within the city or town in which it. eX-
lists.
The meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing the body is to be held some
time this week. No date has yet been
fixed upon, nor has an organizer been
sent for, but these are steps which may
be taken at any time. TIE union men
expect to have Kenosha as we'll organ
lied soon, as are either Chicago or
Milwaukee.

HOUSE BREAKING CHARGED.
Harvey Mcclure Arrested Under seri-
Gus Charge.

Harvey Mcclure, a hack driver for
Ed. Griffin, was arrested at AZ early
hour this morning by Officer New! ouse.
The actions alleged against Mcclure
are of a very serious nature
About 5 o'clock this morning Nc
Clure saw Mrs. Frances Ersing out near
her home at the corner on Church
street. Without any provocatiOn he
started to run after her. Frightened
Mrs. Ersing ran into the house and
locked the door after her. Mcclure
went to a window, tore off the screen
and leaped in, chasing the lady with a
drawn gun. Mrs. Ersing ran up stairs
with Mcclure after her threatening to
shoot. A nephew, who boards at the
house, got after Mcclure, but desisted
when being threatened with being shot.
Mrs. Ersing leaped out the second
story window and in falling it is feared
broke one leg.
The nephew hurried away to notify
the police and Mcclure left the pre-
misses. Officer Newhouse found the
man at Grif6n's barn. He had seen
friends somewhere in the meantime
and had changed clothes. He was
placed under arrest end is awaiting
hearing.
The officers at press time were una
BILE to state what charge would be
launched against Mcclure, but house
breaking will probably be it.

A BRILLIANT STORM.
The Heavenly Display Saturday Night in
Wheatland
program

People in from Wheatland today state
that no such brilliant electrical storm
has ever been seen in this section OF
county as that which took place Sat-
urday night in that town. People who
witnessed it describe it as marvellous.
The lightning flashed across the sky in
continuous stream, so that it was so
light one might almost mistake it for
daytime, so rapidly did each vivid
flash follow the proceeding one. Great
white streaks would dart across from
one direction and Immediately across
them would come other streaks of livid
fire, during all Of which there was the
constant canonading Of the thunder,
which made the scene one never to be
forgotten.
Senator Timme and Jason Lothrop,
both of whom were present, state that
the strength of the lights and the swift
ness with which they followed each
other, we're beyond description. This
scene lasted nearly an hour.
The house of Frank Krone was
struck by the lightning, but was not
burned. It struck the gable and ran
down the side of the house, entered the
bed room and struck his wife and baby,
burning them somewhat, but leaving
him entirely untouched and unframed.
No other damage is reported to have
occurred.

THE BICYCLE PATH.
The First Steps Being Taxed in Racine to
Build It,


The agitation in favor of building a
bicycle path between here and Racine,
is rapidly assuming the proper practi-
cal shape at the Racine end OF the
route. N. F. Reichert and August
Buse have taken the matter in hand
there and will undertake to interest
the wheelmen of that city in the pro-
ect Of building track about four feet
wide on the side of the road. They
propose to roll and solidify a track
about four feet wide, which would be
wide enough for Wheelmen to easily
pass each other. The gentlemen
named have started out with sub
scriptlon paper and are asking wheel
men to contribute at least 81 apiece to
defray expenses. Hotel men, restaur-
ant keepers, and other business men
are contributing freely to the enter
prise, also. Such path would result
in great good to both towns. Hun
dreds of wheelmen would constantly
visit each way, greatly to the benefit OF
hotels and restaurants.
The matter in Kenosha has not yet
received the attention of the wheel
men. The Kenosha gentleman who
suggested the matter to the wheelmen
of Racine has been waiting to hear
whether the wheelmen of that city
would take kindly to the project or not
before starting the ball to rolling here.
Now that the ball is started to rolling
there, the work of securing subscrip-
lions here will be begun at once. The
Sterling and Windsor Cycle clubs will
be appealed to and the unattached
wheelmen of the city will also be re-
quested to take hand in the work.
It is believed the path can be built in
a very short time.

been expected. The hall was comfortably
filed, however. when the meeting was
called to order. r. B. Smith, fusionise
candidate for Governor of Montana, and
Judge Swinnerton of Stockton were the
speakers of the evening.
Mr.. Smith spoke first, and said in part:
81 appear as the representative of silver,
but at the same time l wish to state that
we do not discard gold. What we want
is merely that there shall be more money
of ultimate redemption for the people of
the United States. We do not believe in
the principle of the contraction of
currency or the volume OF money OF legal
tender quality. The volume of the cur
rancy in the country is measure of the
value of property. With q decreasing
volume of money the value OF the dollar
increases while the value of all other
property decreases. The converse of this
proposition is also maintained by all
writer's, that with an increasing
volume of money the value of
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-27

the dollar decreases. The value of every-
thing else compared with it increases.
There has been general decrease in the
volume of money of ultimate redemption
in this country and as a result prices have
gradually risen. If the volume of money
was kept properly adjusted TO the increase
of population ard consequent increase Of
business prices would rise
In reply, Judge Swinnerton denied that
the Republican party was party of gold
monometalIism. He said that it was the
wonder of the world that this Nation had
maintained in circulation on an equality
with gold such quantity of silver. This
has been because of the policy of the Gov
ernment to make every dollar of whatever
nature as good as gold.
He claimed that the true standard in
determining prices is the purchasing
power of days labor and that this has
steadily increased. The depression re-
suting in the tremendous loss to
labor and In diminished demand for
commodities had been owing to fear of
disturbance of the financial system
by the advocates of free silver,
but more especially to the tariff legislation
of the Democratic party. He made an ex-
tended statement of the prosperity of the
country under protection,s and said with a
proper protection policy and balance Of
trade in our favor the financial question
would right itself.
Mr.. Smith occupied half an hour in
closing, and quoted Thomas Reed. saying
the silver question and tariff were one
and not two issues and that values were
less fiuctuating under bimetallic than a
single standard.

travelling proposed America to the lads
they jumped at the chance. They say they
