may not be as smart man as some OF
our aldermen, but he has proved him.
self to be about as foxy an individual
as Kenosha has chad the honor of en-
pertaining for some time. Notwith-
standing the frantic efforts of the
council and other people in the city,
Schwartz has outwitted the whole
crowd ands will open saloon in this
city in short time. What makes the
agony greater is the fact that he will
handle Dewey's beer. The way the
matter has shaped itself will be a
great surprise for many people in this
city. Schwartz claims that he is a
very much malgned man and when
seen this morning said that he would
make it very hot for some people were
it not for the fact that he was about to
open a place of business in this city.
He then explained that he had formed
a partnership with August Huessing
and the two will have saloon in the
stand formerly occupied by Peter
Rhode. The men have also rented the
hotel and will hereafter conduct the
entire business.
The way the scheme was worked
shows that after all the council and
mayor were not as wide awake as they
might have been, for the business has
been carried on right under thor very
noses without their suspecting any
thing. For some time the Rhode
house has been for sale and several
reported deals have been made. How
ever, several weeks ago August Kues-
sing, a we'll known German, pur-
chased the saloon of the inn keeper
and a short time fafterWard it
was announced that the hotel
had been rented to some
Waukegan parties who would
take charge of it in a short
time. In the meantime the Ii
cense formerly held by Mr.. Rhode was
transferred to Huesing, and he went
into the business. Now the Waukegan
parties who bought the lease of the
house appear, and prove to be none
other than our old friend Samuel
Schwartz, who has for several months
been begging and petitioning the
council to grant him a license. It is
hardly thought at this time that there
is any way to defeat the plans of
Schwartz, as Mr.. Huesing is we'll
know in this city and it would be hard
for any charges to be brought against
him which would be sufficient to revoke
this license.
Mr.. Huesing was seen this morning,
and said nothing, further than that he
had formed a partnership with
Schwartz and that they would take
possession on Sunday next. This OUT
come of the affair is rather unexpected,
as it was thought that Schwartz had
thrown up the sponge and had gone
away, leaving Albert Zens to hold the
bay. In regard to the attachment
papers filed Thursday, Mr.. Schwartz
said that it was great surprise to him
as he had already endorsed the bill and
sent it to the Dewey company in Chi
cago, who are backing him. The bill
had not yet been paid by the company
simply because in their routine work
they had not reached it yet. The bill,
together with the costs of the action,
were paid this morning by a private
check.
This is probably the last chapter of
the saloon fight and the only thing that
remains to be settled is the question of
Mr.. Zens' license.
