ATTACKED BY A TRAMP.

But the ViIlin Is Put to Flight BY the
Prompt Action Of q Courageous Dog.
Sunday afternoon a tramp entered
the Pringle residence near the Rock
Island machine shops without the for
mality Of a knock. Miss Myrtle Pringle,
daughter Of Mrs. Mcclellan, who is out
Of the city, was at home alone, and
upon asking the intruder what was
wanted, she was told to keep still
Miss Pringle's waterspaniel dog took in
the situation and sprang at the tramp,
sinking its teeth into his arm. The
tramp beat a hasty retreat and was
pursued some distance from the house
by the dog.
Miss Pringle was badly frightened,
and ran to a neighbor's and gave an
alarm. A thorough search was made
but no trace Of the tramp could be

China,s First Railway.

The first railroad constructed in China
was narrow gauge line from Shanghai
to Woosung, put down in 1915, and in
tended chiefly as an ocular demonstra-
ton to the Chinese. At the end of 10
months it was sold to a Chinese official,
who straightway tore up the rails and
deported them to Formosa. The single
dummy engine of the line now reposes
peacefully in the mud of some Formosan
harbor, together with the wreck Of the
junk in which it was transported
During these 10 months Of it's exist
ence the Shanghai Woosung railroad,
with it's single dummy engine and its
train Of small cars-which, by the way,
were of the American pattern carried
800 900 passengers. The Chinese came
from far and wide to see and expert
ment with this new barbarian curiosity,
and the people in the neighborhood,
soon finding it an institution of great
practical utility, became regular pa
irons
The predicted uprising of the people
against the construction of the road
never materialized, and as for the
graves along the route every farmer
would manufacture as many graves as
he, could get dollars for permission to
traverse them. -Engineering Magazine.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

It's singular thing how trifing an
incident will often change the worlds
history. If the country gentleman
living in Cheshire, England had not by
accident been thrown from his coach
into the lap of a young lady, the pair
might never have married or migrated
to the American colonies, and thus the
world would never have known of
George Washington as the father of our
country. So it is in the daily life of
every one, little things" occur which
affect the future. Veteran il. Cross,
Of 1891 First St., Milwaukee, says he
knows we'll how fortune smiles at times
on the afflicted in showing how relief
is near at hand. His experience and
advice is given in the following words:

LATHAM BULLEN RETURNS TO HIS
OLD HAUNTS.

Latham. the Brother of John and william
Bullen, who once Jointly owned
Nearly the Whole of Kenosha
visits his Former Home.

Latham Bullen, one of Kenosha's
pioneers, went about the city today
looking up all whom he was able to
find of those whom had been his friends
and neighbors in the long ago, when
he was citizen of old Southport
1t is half a century since Latham
Bullen has visited the haunts of his
youth. In that time his former home,
the village of Southport, has passed
out of existence and the metropolitan
little city of Kenosha has sprung up in
it's place. After his arrival he set out
at once to find, if possible, some of the
friends who had been his when Keno
sha was wilderness. In the course of
time he ran across j. Fl. Kimball, and
the two old friends shook hand over the
gap of fifty years. In "Reminiscences
they lived over the events of the past
Together they visited the city of the
dead, whore was all that could be
found of the others whom they had
known when last they met.
Latham Bullen came to this district
in the spring of 1887. He found
George Kimball already settled upon
the land now occupied by the Rhode
opera house. In the summer of the
same year j. Fl. Kimball joined his
father. At that time these men and
Gov. Durkee owned about all the ter
ritory at present covered by the city of
Kenosha. Mr.. Bullen and his two
brothers, John and William, who had
accompanied him here, were then the
sole possers of at least two. thirds of
what now constitutes the city. They
were in possession of practically the
whole of the north side. 1t was their
belief that the town would grow in
that direction and consequently they
settled chiefly upon that section.
When they finally left the city they
retained possession of large part of
this property thinking that it would
materially increase in value. In the
course of time it was all sold and today
Mr.. Bullen does not own any of the
great tract that was bis when he bade
farewell to Southport. That portion OF
his possessions which was situated on
the south side of the river was pur-
chased by George Kimball and com
prised the land contained between
Prairie avenue and the river, the lake
and the railroad track. Mr.. Bullen
aimed and struggled while he lived in
this vicinity to make the north side the
town. He left with little doubt that
when he should return he would find
that section the center of thriving
city. His return was no doubt post
poned much longer than he had
expected and now when he finally
comes back to his old home he finds q
city that occupies both sides of the
river and stretches out toward the
West.
Latham, John and William Bullen
are familiar names to those who are at
all acquainted with the history of Ke-
nosha county. They we're among the
most prominent of the early settlers
and were as deeply interested and in
fluential in the growth of the city as
any of those who labored in the devel-
opment of this country fifty years ago.
They left here in 40.

SUSTAIN THE MAYOR.
The Police Committee Meet and Recon-

The Police Committee Meet and Recon-
mend to Discharge officer ortn.
The police committee met Wednes
day evening at the Office of the Chief of
Police and voted to sustain the Mayor
in his action relative to the discharge
of officer Orth whose star the Mayor or
dered removed Monday on the grounds
of an unwarranted attack upon and
arrest of peaceable citizen and the
non arrest of certain disturbers of the
peace, for whose arrest the said officer
was summoned. The Committee took
the position that one has the right to
suppress nuisance or prevent trespass
on his own property. The gentleman
whom the officer arrested on the charge
of carrying concealed weapons, was the
authorized guardian of the property in
question, and in the absence of police
protection, after repeated warnings to
the trespassers, was prepared to en-
force his right if necessary. However,
there seems to be two sides to the
question, and officer Orth is by no
means without sympathizers who be-
Iieve that he sought only to do his duty
and was arbitrarily discharged.
Whatever the right or wrong of the
case, it promises to cause considerable
discussion before the matter is salts
factorily ended.
