Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton were the
names of the pair of notorious shop
llifters that visited Kenosha Friday
night. They came from Racine and
would have been glad to remain some
time but the vigilance of local police
and the hot pursuit of Chief Johnson,
of Racine, caused them to change their
plans. They arrived Fiday afternoon
and spent the night here, but left for
Waukegan early this morning.
The Kenosha bicyclist is indeed in a
bad fix. If he rides on the sidewalk,
even at q late hour of the night when all
humanity but himself is supposed to be
sleeping, everything is deserted and he
couldn't find a pedestrian to run over
if he tried, unless it be an officer on his
beat, he is sure to be collared by said
officer made to register at the Justices
office and released of $40. On the
other hand if they attempted to ride on
the road even with the required head
light on most OF the roads of the city it
means a wheel laid up for repairs. On
the whole it is generally considered a
little cheaper to ride on the sidewalk
and pay the fine. There has been
some talk of instituting " sidewalk
privilege" That will cost a certain
sum but will give its possessors the
privilege Of riding on the sidewalks
without the liability of fine.
One of the Racine papers Friday
evening had notice to the effect that
a certain Mary O'Donnell, who had
been spending a short time in the Ra-
cine county jail owing to the fact that
she had been imbibing too freely of
that which intoxicates, had been caused
to move on and would probably pay
Kenosha a visit. Kenosha has no need
of any more material of that kind.
There is plenty of local talent to fill all
engagements in that line. At an early
hour this morning those living south of
the west end of Market street were dis
turbed in their slumber by the noisy
vociferations of drunken female. She
made the sunrise hours hideous with
her raving and startled some persons
into the belief that she was insane.
Officer Joe NeWhouse made her &C.
ouaintance and conducted her to the
county jail where she is at present con-
fined. She gives her name as Mary
Sweeny.
