Is WHIPPED
F. r. SHERIDAN BADLY TROUNCES
H. w. MARDEN
WRITTEN APOLOGY is MADE
Marden Says That He Did Not Mean to
Refer to the Actions of Miss Avery
More Trouble MAY Possibly
Follow

A champion has at last been found
who was willing and ready TO avenge
the insulting articles published by H
w Marden in his weekly publication
and the Kicker has been forced not
only 10 eat his own words but also tC
bite the dust.
For the past two weeks the sheet has
contained a number of articles sup
posed 10 reflect upon the character Of
Miss Margaret Avery, one of the best
known and highly respected ladies OF
the city. The name of the lady was
not mentioned, but the circumstances
as given we're such that anyone
acquainted with the young lady could
not but understand that they were
aimed at her.
On Sunday one of these articles was
shown to F. R Sheridan, an uncle Of
Miss Avery, and he at once started out
on the war path. His indignation was
rightly aroused, as the articles pub
lshed were nothing less than libelOus.
The two men met shortly after dinner
on the street in front of the County
Club house, and Sheridan at once
seized Marden about the throat and
chOked him almost into insenSibility.
Marden made a feeble attempt to
release himself, but Sheridan is such
powerful man that he handled him
with ease. Finally throwing him from
him Sheridan dealt him terrible blow
in the face which felled him to the dust.
Marden saw that the man was alto
gether too much for him and as soon as
possible he agreed to send to Mrs. Tut
tie and Miss Avery at once written
apology which in due time was received
and which was shown to reporter Of
this paper this afternoon. In his
apology of course Marden said that he
had no reference to Miss Avery nor did
be at any time aim to say anything
which would in any way reflect on
Miss Avery or Mrs. futile. The citi-
zens will consider the apology in the
light in which it was given.
All the town will be glad to
know that there is one man with suffi
Gent nerve to resent any attempt of a
newspaper man to besmear with mud
the character of one of Kenosha's fair
est daughters.
Mr.. Sheridan has not yet been ar
rested and the indications are that
further trouble will follow between
himself and Marden.

Kenosha County Official at waupun
Should Have a Better Position.


Should Have a Better Position.
A. c Probert, eX-mayOr and banker
OF Washpurn, Wis, was in the city
yesterday and today attending to some
legal business for some clients. Mr..
Probert was guest at the Hotel
Grant, and in the course of a CONVEX
sation with one of our reporters, said
he had served short term Of mprison-
ment at Waupun, after having three
Jury trials, for the alleged embezzle-
ment of note from the bank eff Lodi,
Wisc0n IN. He stated tn Il Mai j B.
Vosburgh, u KenOsha county, was
considered by parties who were in a
position to best Judge of the man, the
ahlest and most efficient Deputy War
den that the Wisconsin state prison
ever had. He is a thorough, up-to-
date prison reform official; believing
in exercising his official puthority with
kind but firm hand. He appears to
have the utmost respect and confidence
from all the prisoners. He is, in my
opinion, one Of the best judges of
criminals that | know Of, and would
make most excellent official for
superintendent of the Green Bay Re-
fOTlnaturl for young md first offenders.
| mi1ht further add that his wife, too,
would make an excellent woman as
matron of the female prisoners at Wau-
pun, instead of having an old maid"
To rfficiate in that capacity. There
are many good reasons why married
woman ought to hold this state Office,
if anyone is cOnversant with the read
ing and treatment Of the female crimi-
nal
When Nair Vosburgh first came to
Wanpun three years ago to act in the
otfic al capacity as deputy warden, his
predecessor. John Gebhard commonly
called Dutch John" by the prisoners,
on account OF his intense cruelty)
handed over his two revOlvers, billy
and big club with the remark, that
he (Vosburgh) mast never go around
among the cOnvicts without carrying
these weapons of war as his protectors.
| heard the major tell a warm friend of
mine, who came to visit me while
caring the garb,of criminal, that he
laid them all away quietly in the prison
arsenal, and there they have remained
ever since, never having had any
occasion to use them. He is a man of
wonderful nerve, tact and sand and
the prisoners all know this and don't
you forget it. If there is anything an
habitual or professional criminal adj
mires in a man it is certainly these
qualities. cannot praise
Major Vosburgh too highly as prison
official and think heis entitled to some
thing better than his present position.

the Christ in Art.

The Congregational church was
packed to the doors Sunday night to
hear the lecture on The Christ in
Art, !" and the entertainment was one
of the finest ever given in this city.
The pictures, which were thrown on
screen by means of stereopticon, were
the most beautiful and classical relig
ious pictures ever shown in Kenosha.
They were mainly from the illustrations
in Hoffman's famous life of Christ, aud
contained among the number many
triumphs of ancient masters.
As each picture was thrown upon the
screen Rev. Roblee read short de-
scription Of it, One of the features of
the evening was the beautiful anthem
furnished by the choir, in which solos
were sung by Misses Head and Rice.

Friends of the Convicted Expressman
Will Ask For His Release.
The chances are that pardon will
be asked for the release of Robert
Baker, the Racine expressman, who was
yesterday found guilty in the Kenooha
circuit court of bigamy and sentenced
by Judge Fish to serve one year in
Waupun. Mike Shiel was Bakers
attorney up to the time for calling the
trial, when he turned the case over to
Charles Kempfer.
Baker is a poor, ignorant man, and
the defence set forth that he did not
know that be was committing a crime
when he married the second. His first
wife is in the insane asylum. Her
case is said by her physicians to be in
durable and Baker believed her dead

covered in an Attic.
While searching through the attic of
his house a few days ago F. 81. Lyman
discovered a very interesting relic of
the early history of Kenosha county
journalism. It was the files Of g The
Garland and Wisconsin Magazine, "
published in Southport by Young &
Kimball in 1912. But two numbers of
the magazine were ever issued, as the
venture did not prove financial sue
cess. However, these issues are ex-
ceedingly interesting and contain con-
tributions from the best public men Of
Wisconsin. The first issue contains an
interesting sketch of Southport and
compares it favorably with Chicago,
Milwaukee and Racine. Another arti-
Gle is one on the poetess " Amelia by
the famous war Governor of Wisconsin,
L. P. Harvey. The entire file is filed
with interesting matter and is great
curiosity.

Jubilee Celebration

Sunday was a red let er day for Park
Avenue NJ. E. church. In the morning
the membership met to celebrate with
jubilee services the great success of
the year just closing. The reports
from the various departments showed
that there had been no year equal to
the past within the remembrance of
the oldest members of the church.
Seventy eight new members have been
received during the year, Is have
moved out of town and died, leaving
net gain of G2, making the present
membership 248.
The ushers' report was surprise to
many, showing an average attendance
for the morning services for the year of
1913 and of the evening services of 206,
making an average attendance for the
104 services of 200 people, or a grand
total attendance of 20,800. The at
tendance is determined by actual
count at every service and a record
kept of it, The report also showed
that there was an increase OYER last
years average of about 70.
The Sunday school, under the eff
Gent uperintendency of w. w. Cooper,
has an enrolment for the year of near.
ly 400 and has contributed to various
causes. ST. per member-over 5000
being for missions, and 500 for the
new organ.
The most remarkable report of the
day, both for excellency OF style and
contents, was given by z. G.. Simmons,
Jr., tor the board of trustees. Owing
largely to Mr. Simmons enthusiastic
work, the trustees collected $1,000 for
the new organ and $685. 90 for the gen
eral debt. Mr.. Simmons emphasized
the fact that the organ was not the
gift of few, but of over 500 different
persons.
While the church has done so much
for itself this year, it has not neglected
benevolent work, but has given $537.7
to missions and over $500 to other
causes.
The grand total of receipts for the
year at the beginning of the service
Sunday was $5,066.37 and there was
needed $3.50 to clear the society of all
Indebtedness, which amount was pro-
vided for in roll call of the mem Der,
ship and the free will offering of the
friends present. This is counting a
few good subscriptions which will be
paid ia few days, so that the church
is ready to enter new conference year
free from incumbrance.
1t was a jubilee service Sunday from
beginning to end and was entered into
heartily by all the congregation, as.
tonished to see in cold figures that

TO OPEN AN EXCURSION LINE.
Boats to Stop at Waukegan and Kenosha
Next Season.

Next Season
A new line a.ong the west shore of
Lake Michigan, with Kenosha and
Waukegan as the objective point, will
be established by the Goodrich Trans
portation company next season. l. is
the purpose Of the company to develop
a short excursion business to Wauke-
gaH. Gardens and picnic grounds will
be added TO the attractions.
During the past season Waukegan
had ITS first steamboat line, the little
steamer Paxton stopping there on its
way to Kenosha. The amount OF
business developed by the Paxton has
made it evident that there is an open
ing for large boats running on regular
time and catering to general eXcur
sion business.
The action of the Goodrich Line has
been received with enthusiasm by the
people of Waukegan and KenOha.
SO says the Chicago Times Herald
this morning, and While we have not as
yet noticed the enthusiasm over the
prospect, we can assure the Goodrich
people that Kenosha will give them
hearty welcome.

Unpatriotic and Unwise.

In striking and pleasing contrast with
the greediness shown by the most Of
the railroads forming the Western Pas
senger association In the matter Of
rates to be charged the government for
transporting troops was the attitude
taken by the Omaha and the Northern
transcontinental lines. While the 9TH
ers were voting for a two-cent rate,
these roads declared 1t to be unjust and
unreasonable, and made a one-cent
rate. They are now reinforced by the
quartermaster general Of the United
States, who has Informed all railroads
that the government considers a one
cent rate as reasonable, and will pay
no more. There was too much Of the
same spirit shown by the roads that
stood for two-cent rate that was eX-
hibited by the patriots who demanded
plies and utilized the needs of the ma
ton to fatten their pocketbooks.
The position Of the roads that propos-
ed to extort two cents a mile is not
only unpatriotic but unwise. 1t is un-
patriotic because it seeks unreasonable
gains at time when the situation is
demanding and compelling general sac
rifices to be made. When men are CIV
ing up their business, their opportuni-
ties, their future, offering their lives;
when other men are making, in increas-
ed taxation and cost of living, the war
sacrifice, these roads combined to ex-
tort from the treasury twice the charge
they ask Of people going to conven-
lions and other great assemblings. If
they could carry the Grand Army for
one cent mile, they can carry this
grand army at the same rate. The &C
ton is unwise in the stimulation It
gives to popular belief that, in their
rates for transportation of Industrial
products, they are governed by the
Gould rule Of laying on "all the traffic
Will bear" 1t furnishes reinforcement
to the demagogue who finds in corpora
lions a convenient ladder by which to
climb into place, and we may expect to
hear him ranting about the rapacity Of
railways and citing in proof this pro-
posed action. The stand taken by our
local roads is both patriotic and saga

The News "Assassinated y

The G o b e and the Pioneer Press
of yesterday morning present the two
different conceptions of what a news
paper Is that obtain in the respective
Offices
The two leading features toward
which general attention was directed
yesterday were the local election and
the war. We state them in the order
of their local Importance. More read
ers turned first yesterday morning to
the election news than did to the war
news, ten to one. The c. o gave the
readers of it's first edition the complete
vote of la precincts of the city, with
the totals and plurality for mayor,
with as much of the remaining vote as
was accessible at the hour of going to
press. A later edition gave this also,
so that any person could get from The
G e. the morning after election,
knowledge of how the vote stood In
each precinct Of each ward and the
totals for the several candidates. The
Pioneer Press had scattering returns
from all the wards and complete ones
from only the Fourth and Tenth, with
out. of course, any totals or pluralities,
even in the two completed wards.
But If that paper "assassinated' the
local news it came out strong on the
war news. 1t printed third edition.

under startling headline, telling, in
cable from Gibralter, under date of
May s. how some one told some one in
Gibralter that Campos and Moret had
been assassnated in Madrid and Sagas-
ia had run to the British consulate for
protection. the headline asserting it to
be fact, the dispatch giving 1t as a
rumor. This was sent by that much
vaunted Herald special cable service"
Gibralter is some 500 miles from Mad
