JUST LIKE A LOTTERY.
Novel Manner of Deciding a Close
Election Contest at
kenOSha,

Kenosha, Wis, April 11.-ESpecial.l J.
One of the hottest aidermanic contests
in the history of Kenosha has just been
closed. 1t was between Barney Nc.
Givern and Joseph Bendt and the for
mer has been declared the winner.
At the recent election both were candi-
dates in the same ward and the vote was
a tie. 1t was alleged on one side that
two of the votes cast were illegal and
an effort was made to have them thrown
out Two meetings of the council were
held to settle the matter, but without
success.
Finally friends of the two candidates
brought about a compromise and it was
decided to draw lots for the prize. The
men met and each selected a straw, the
winning one falling to McGivern.
Another important feature of the con-
test was the fact that the balance of
power rested on the decision and as a
result of McGiyern's election the Demo-
Gratis will have majority of one in the

GREEN BAY ROAD SALE.
Judge Seaman Directs that the
Road be Sold on the 18th
of Next Month.

The sale of the Green Bay, Winona
& st. Paul railroad has been fixed by
Judge Seaman to take place on the aft
ernoon of May y. Special Master Hun
ter illhave charge of the sale, which will
take place on the steps of the Brown coun-
ty courthouse at Green Bay. The terms
of the decree of sale have not been al
tered, the contest over the disposition of
the bonds held by Mr.. Mowry being now
before the court of appeals. The master
is directed to reserve the sum of S1O0,-
600, with interest, from the proceeds of
the sale, in order to protect the bond
holders represented by Mr.. Mowry if the
court of appeals finds in his favor.
There is probability that the property
will pass into the possession of the Chica-
go 81 Northwestern company. The
Northwestern is about to establish a
car ferry to cross Lake Michigan from
Manitowoc. but in order to carry out the
plan of reducing the haul from Mime
apolis to- the seaboard a shorter route
will be necessary. The Northwestern
has excellent connections with the Green
Bay road, the latter company running
over its tracks from Mcmillan in order
to reach ST. Paul. The Green Bay road
crosses the North Westerns Ashland d.
vision at New London, and in this way
it would give the North Western short
route across the state.

DROWNED IN MENDOZA
Wisconsin University Oarsman
Loses His Life.
squal Capsizes the Teams Racing Shell
Others Injured.

Madison, Wis, April 7.-While at prac.
tice yesterday afternoon mile out on
Lake Mendoza a squall struck two shells
manned by oarsmen of the University of
Wisconsin's crew. One man was
drowned and two others are in critical
condition.
The dead:
JOHN DAY, GAINESVILLE, Wis, only son of
Mrs. jeanette Day.
The injured:
Lester Street Dixon Ill
Curran G. McConville, La Crosse, Wis.
Late in the afternoon the boats started
out for short working trip for the men.
At the time the weather did not seem
squally and the lake was fairly calm.
Within a few moments after the boat
left shore, however, the wind began to
rise, and just as one of the boats was
about to make the turn it was struck by
the squall.
In this boat were P. J. Odea, the as
sistant trainer, Day and McConville.
Water began to roll over the stern of the
boat, and before the men proceeded far
it was swamped. The men succeeded in
turning it over and in getting on top Of
the she'll. They were soon washed off by
waves. Day, who could not swim, failed
to regain his hold and was drowned.
The other boat with Trainer Andrew
Odea and Street, was some distance
away when the first boat settled and i'm
mediately turned to go to the rescue.
The waves were too high for it also,
and it was soon swampd1 Meanwhile
men came from shore and picked up the
occupants of the first boat, but they
failed to see that the second boat was
also in trouble and the latter's oarsmen
were not rescued until later, the surviv-
ing occupants of the first boat having
been in the icy water about fifteen min
utes and those of the second thirty min
utes.
Day had records which numbered him
among the best ten all-around athletes in
America. He was considered one of the
best men on the crew. Street and Nc
Convlle also are good oarsmen, but they
probably will not be able to row again
this year, both being in a precarious con-
dition on account of their terrible suf-
fering in the cold water.
Days body was recovered at 10 O'Clock
last night
