ACTION Is DROPPED.
MORGAN & WRIGHT WILL NOT
ANSWER THE CHARGE.
TALKS WITH THE RECEIVER
Walter Cavanagh Brands as Lie the
Statements of the Gazette.-Of1ce
Hands Started to Work This
Morning

Judge Gibbons, of Chicago, before
whom Morgan & Wright we're cited to
appear for contempt of court, decided
Saturday night that he would not press
his objection to the Chicago company
taking the plant in charge. Moreover,
it is further stated that the receivarshlp
appointed by him will also be revoked,
as the examination of the books show
that the company is abundantly SOL
vent. Mr.. Sieg is highly pleased over
the turn things have taken, and IN
speaking of it Saturday night he said
that the company was never in better
condition than it is now. The small
creditors were threatening, and in
order to prevent them from forcing an
assignment they had found it good bus
mess policy to ask for a receiver
through Morgan & Wright. The
cause of this temporary financial strain
Mr.. Seg stated, was largely the war;
On this account not few of the large
orders had been either cancelled en-
tirely or largely reduced. Receiver
Week said that he expected to begin
work at once and turn out wheels
enough to fill al orders now on hand
and get in readiness for the fall trade.
The people of the city are highly
pleased with the action of Judge Fish
in appointing Messrs. Fisher and Week
as receivers. Mr.. Week.-Mrs. had such
a long experience in the factory that he
is abundantly able to take charge Of
the works and run them i'll paying
way. The entire force of men is eX-
pected to be back at work by next
Monday
In regard to this matter the Daily
Gazette in an article Saturday night
stated that Walter Cavanagh had
asked it to deny a false story published
in the Evening News of Friday.
Mr. Cavanagh was seen on Sunday
and branded the statement made by
the Gazette as lie and said further
more that he had read the article in
the NEWS, and it was complete and
honest statement of the facts. He said
that he did Mt ask the Gazette co deny
the silly story published in the Chicago
papers Saturday morning and from all
these facts it can only be drawn that
the article in our contemporary was a
malicious misrepresentation of this
paper.

ED. I'll. DURKEE DEAD.
FORMER KENOSHA CITIZEN DIES IN
ATTIRE IN A CHICAGO HOTEL
DIED IN A HORRIBLE MANNER
Elder Kenosha Society was Shocked by
the Death of a Former Companion
was in Joe Quar1es' Regiment and
Graduated From High School.

The elder society of Kenosha re-
ceived a terrible shock Monday night
when it was announced that Edward
FL. Durkee, former citizen of Keno
sha, and a son of the late Harvey Dur
kee, one of the best known pioneers of
Kenosha county, had met a horrible
death in Chicago. The deceased had
lived in Chicago for the past eight
years and had occupied room on the
third floor of the i'll fated hotel
Berwyn which burned early Monday
morning. Friends at once sought to
locate Durkee, but he could not be
found and late Monday evening one of
the charred bodies removed was iden-
titled beyond doubt as the former
friend of many Kenosha citizens.
Mr.. Durkee has been real estate
man since his return to Chicago, but
during the past year or so he has been
employed as western manager of the
Rex Extinguisher Company at 1856 La
Sale street, Chicago. Many citizens
have spoken kindly of the deceased
today and no better tribute could be
paid than was paid by one of our bust
ness men. who said: "Many a tear will
fall in Kenosha today over the death of
noble, cheerful Ed. Durkee." Kindly
in his disposition he won the hearts of
all with whom he came in contact and
all the older citizens seemed to have
only words of kind and loving SYM
pathy.
Edward Fl. Durkee was born in this
city on the Both of June, 1845, and was
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Durkee,
who were among the first families of
the early pioneer citizens, and was
among the first to graduate from the
High school in the famous class of 1868.
Shortly after the graduation the war
broke out and Ed put on the shoulder
straps and entered the army, becoming
a sergeant in Co, G of the 39th Wiscon-
sin regiment, of which Hon. Jos. Y.
Quarles was lieutenant. After bearing
himself honorably as soldier until the
end of the war, Mr.. Durkee accompan-
led his uncle, Hon. Charles Durkee, to
Utah, where he remained for several
years, and later went further west and
with one of his brothers located in
California, where he remained until
his return to Chicago a few years ago.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made, but the re-
mains will probably be brought to this
city for burial alongside of the remand
or of the family in the city cemetery.

WILL BE COMPANY E.
Kenosha Volunteers Will Be Mustered In
On August 18th.

Capt. William Miller received word
last evening from the state adiutant,
W. B. Patton, that the KenOsha Vol
unteers would be mustered into the
State Guard on the evening of August
II. The company will loose It's former
name, 1.-THE Kenosha Volunteers, /"
and henceforth will be known as Com
pany E of the National Guard of Wis
consin. The company has not as yet
succeeded in getting its full quota un-
der the new order, but Captain Miller
thinks that there will be little trouble
n securing the members needed to
complete the company. A meeting
will be held for this purpose this even
ing, and all those who have signed the
company's muster roll are urged to be
present. Kenosha should have and
undoubtedly will have the best COM
pany in the fifth regiment.
The following orders will explain
themselves:
The undersigned, having been ap-
pointed by order of the Governor OF
Wisconsin as mastering officer to mus
ter in and perfect the organization of a
volunteer military company at Keno
sha, in Kenosha county, hereby gives
notice that a meeting will be held IN
Simmons hall, in the city of Kenosha,
in said county, at s o'clock p. M, on

Imperial Band Picnic.

The Imperial band gave very en-
ioyable picnic to their families and
friends on Jacobs Island Sunday after
noon. The boys took along their in
struments as we'll as some we'll filled
lunch baskets, and they interspersed
the time with music and feasting. The
new pavilion has been complied, and
to the band boys fell the lot of dedicat-
ing it with a dance. Dancing con-
tinued all the afternoon, Stemm Bros.
furnishing the music. Besides the
band picnic large number of private
parties enjoyed the pleasures of the
new park.

David The1een Writes Home. From Guam
tanamo Bay.
q. s. s. Massachusetts, Guantan-
amo Bay, July 20, 1898-We are here
at anchor still, but we have made
preparations to leave here very shortly,
either for Porto Rico or Spain. You
have heard about the surrender of San
tiago and the terms. Our forces soon
will have possession of all the eastern
provinces and about $4,000 men are to
be sent back to Spain.
I understand that Spain has asked
for terms of peace, but we know moth
ing definite about them. From the
present news Germany seems to be
looking for trouble over in the Philip
pines. SO perhaps our squadron may
be ordered east.
Yesterday a number of officers from
the fleet here went to Santiago on a
torpedo boat. We have complete pos
session of the city, batteries and Old
Moro. The Stars and Stripes float at
last over the Old Castle.
There are quite few steamers in
the harbor and our fleet has possession
of one of the gunboats. hope to get
an opportunity to see the city and
those batteries some day. I think it
will be an excellent lesson on the
methods and effects of modern war
fare. Now at Santiago it seems to be a
question as to what belongs to the
navy and what to the army. Kind of
quarreling, so to speak, over the spoils.
The army wants it all. But guess it
will all be settled to our satisfaction.
I expect to get few cents prize money
out of the Reina Mercedes affair. Get
enough to have good time when /
come home to see you.
