Obituary Notice.

Tuesday morning, March 14th, at
about a. M, while on his way from
his house to the barn, Mr.. Abraham
Ozanne, of Somers, dropped suddenly
to the ground, where few minutes
later he was found by his hired man
and daughter. He was taken into the
house and efforts made to resusitate
him, but without avail.
He was born in Eturs parish, Guern-
sey, May 21st, 1922, and baptized in
the Episcopal church June Sd of the
same year.
In l847 he came to Racine, and soon
after his majority preempted govern
ment land in the town of Pike, now
Somers, which has been his home up
to the present time.
In 1860 he was married in Kenosha
to the widow of his brother William,
Sophia Ozanne. His wife. died in
March, 1890.
Four children we're the result of this
union, three of whom survive him.
Louisa Ozanne, who since the death of
his wife has been the faithful house.
keeper, companion and nurse; Mrs.
Henry Gutenberg, of Kenosha,
and Mrs. Emory Bush, of Somers.
Baby May, the youngest, died in in
fancy.
Before leaving Guernsey he was very
prominent in Sunday school work, as
a pupil gaining many prizes for his
proficiency; afterwards he was very
efficient teacher. In his later years he
took great pride in hearing of the sue
cess of certain ministers who were once
his pupils.
Since coming to Somers he has given
as literally as his means would admit,
to the support of the M. E. church.
For many years his wife was an in
valid, and he permitted nothing, not
even church going, to take him unnec-
essarily from her side.
He was a quiet, unassuming, home
loving man, respected by his neigh
bors and loved and honored by his
| children.
Many boy who has come under his
influence has been won by his kind
counsel and good example, to give up
bad habits and live pure, temperate,
prudent life.
His funeral was held Friday after
noon, March 18th, the services being
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Gray, of the
Somers NJ. E church, after which his
remains were laid to rest by those of
his wife and children in Oak Grove
cemetery, Somers. The home daughter
Louisa, who has given the best years
of her life to the care of parents and
younger sisters, has the especial sym
pathy of the many friends of the
family in the loneliness which must in
evitably be hers in the old home to
whose head
Suddenly the message came
"And angels bore him on their wings of love-
Unto the Savior's presence. No more toll, -
mo more din and discord of the world.
| He sleeps in Jesus

The Gazette Again.

The question with good many peo-
ole ia, If Kenosha is to be run another
year in the irresponsible way of the
past year, which exhibits little else
than bOtching and boys play all the
way through.
The latest illustration of this fact is
the tearing up of Grand avenue paving
10 repair leaks in the water pipe. The
first place is located near the east end
Of the tannery, where the broken pipe
is but two and a half feet below the
pavement. Tive other bad leaks have
been located west of the bridge and
others are not improbable ~
The people are asking why such an
incompetent piece of work was alloWedy
VINO is responsible for it? The blame
should be shouldered upon the sewer
committee of the city council and the
mayor of the city, whose duty it is to
see that such public improvements are
done right.-Daily Gazette.
IN the above statement the editor of
the Gazette shows himself to be not
only malicious but grossly ignorant.
The illustration of incompetence which
he cites in the tearing up Of Grand
avenue paving to repair leaks in the
water pipes is an atrocious blunder.
The broken pipe which he speaks of
near the east end of the tannery is the
Allen Bros private pipe and does not
concern the city authorities. The two
other bad leaks, located west of the
bridge, to which he .alludes, are in the
old artesian pipes, laid years ago,
which are becoming honey cOmbed
and breaking into leaks in several
parts of the city. These will all be
taken up aud replaced at the earliest
possible opportunity. Mr. Culley again
displays worse than purile ignorance
when he says that the blame for these
things should be shouldered upon the
sewer committee. Suppose the re-
sponsibllity could be laid at the door
of the city authorities, what in the
name of common sense would the sewer
committee have to do with it? Any
thing concerning the water pipes
comes under the jurisdiction of the
water commission. All the charges
which the editor of the Gazette so I'M
thinkinglv makes against the present
administration are the results of malice
or ridiculous ignorance of the facts in
the casel

BOTH ARE DEAD.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Longwel1 Die Within
Few Hours of Each other.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Longwell Die Within
a Few Hours of Each other.
The Longwell household in the town
of Somers, Kenosha county, is a sor.
rowful one indeed today, two deaths
occurring within twelve hours of each
other. Mr.. Joseph Longwell died on
Saturday night of pneumonia in the
77th year of his age. His beloved
wife, Mrs. S. Longwell, who had also
been sick with pneumonia, died this
morning in the 72nd year of her age.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longwell were among
the very earliest settlers and pioneers
of Racine county. They had lived
there nearly fifty years and were both
honored aud respected by the entire
community. Several grown children
survive them, and they will have the
sympathy of all in their sad double
affection. The funeral of both will
take place on Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock from the house, and the
burial will take place at Mound ceme-
tery.-Racine Journal.

REPUBLICANS, if you are nominated
by your party for city Office, accept
the nomination. Don't shirk your
duty. Some one must fill the position.
Don't say you haven't the time. Every
man has twenty four hours; no one has
more. Don't think your time is worth
more to you than other mems time is
to them. If you have large business
interests you are so much more inter
ested in the welfare of the city. Think
it over.

W. 3. VAN GAsBECK ARRESTED.
Well Known Man is Charged With Obtain
ing Money Under False Pretenses.

VIGIL AAOWA N1dn 10 CndTSSO WIN OpGa1u-
ing Money Under False Pretenses.
W. B. Van Gasbeck was arrested last
evening by Chief of Police Barber on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The arrest was made Just
as the man was leaving the lecture
given by the Y. M. G. A. at the Park
Avenue M. E. church and it has proved
great surprise to many people in the
city who have been friends of the man
now under arrest. The complaining
witness in the case is Mrs. Peter O'Hare
who lives in the western part of the
city and who is said to be very
attractive widow. The causes which
have brought on the action are of long
standing and are said % have origin
ated last November when according
to the story told by che widow the
prisoner basely deceived her.
From all the stories told it seems
that VanGasbeck and the widow met
early in November and the former
representing himself as travelling man
| from an Eastern city soon gained the
confidence of the woman and according
to her story he agreed to make life
more interesting for her by making her
his wife. Placing her trust in him Mrs.
| O'Hare claims that she gave VanGas-
| beck sum of money variously esti-
mated between 500 and 5000 and with
this as nest egg the two decided to
get married and merge their fortunes
| in life.
Thus far the scheme of VanGasbeck
to warm the widows heart and care
for her money succeeded and finally,
the story goes, that the. two went to
Chicago for the purpose of getting
married.
At this interesting point of the game
| it seems that VanGasbeck woke up and
it dawned upon him that the marriage
with the widow would be legally
impossible as he already had a wife
and four children dependent on him
for support and as soon as an oppor-
tunity presented itself he promptly
ducked and let the widow shift for
herself. When the woman returned to
this city she heard nothing from the
would be bridegroom she began to be
suspicious and her suspicious were con-
firmed when she discovered the facts in
regard to her erstwhile lover. She at
once decided tc seek the return of her
money and any other revenge that the
law saw fit to give her and for this
reason she had the gay deceiv9r
arrested. @ ...- aa,f ~,.t te.ss..
When arrested Van Gasbeck did
not deny that he had received money
from the widow but said that she
wanted him to take her to Chicago
and as he did not have the money for
the trip the woman, volunteered her
assistance and the trip was made. He
claims that he only received twenty
dollars from her. The case has not
as yet come up in. the, Justice court
The sympathy of most of the people
interested in the.case seems to be in
favor of the woman and the charge
against the man may be more SER
ious one before the case is out Of the
| Jurisdiction Of the courts.
Van Gasbeck was given hearing
before justice Slater this afternoon
ard as be was unable to furnish bail
he was returned to the county jail.
He refused to see anyone this after
noon

MR.. ALLEN DENIES IT.
KENOSHA TANNERY WILL NOT BE
IN THE LEATHER TRUST.
WILL REMAIN INDEPENDENT.
Mr. Allen says That HIS Firm are Inter
ested IN Kenosha and Would Not
Turn Their Business over TO Firm
which Might Shut 1t Down

The prevailing fashion OF the fOrma.
ton of big trusts and corporations has
been taken up by the Leather Makers
and this morning it is announced that
the name has been CHOSEN for the
''upper-leather" trust, and everything
is nearly in readiness to go ahead. 1t
will be known as the American Hide
and Leather company, and viii, it is
said, be capitalized at $4,000, 900.
Milwaukee has stumbling block in
the way of the enterprise, owing to the
fact that one of the biggest concerns
in the country refused to enter the
combine. While this has not been re-
moved, it has been decided to go ahead
the following Wisconsin firms having,
it is said, signed the agreement.
The William Becker Leather COM
pany of Milwaukee.
The George Martin Leather COM
pany of Milwaukee,,
Conrad Bros. of Milwaukee.
Fred Reuping Leather company of
Fond du Lac, Wis.
N. R. Allen & Son of Kenosha, Wis.
A mali who has been interested in
the formation of the trust stated that
the purpose of the company, according
to the articles of agreement, are to buy
hides, regulate the production and
selling price of leather, to receive
leather on consignment from the var
ious subscribers to the agreement, to
purchase leather outright, and to
transact all kinds of business Incidental
to that of leather commission house
and hide-purchasing agency. The
articles of agreement further specify
that the head officers of the corpora
ton shall be in Boston, although
branch stores "may be opened in
Chicago, st. Louis, or other cities
deemed to be desirable leather mar
kets."
In regard co the connection of the
N. r. Allen Sons tannery of this city
with the trust, there is nothing in the
story. Mr.. Nathan Allen was seen
this morning, and while he admitted
that the Kenosha firm had been APP
preached on the subject, he said that
they were not in the trust. nor were
they likely to be added to it's member
ship in the future. The Allen com
pany have always been very indie
pendent concern, and as this tannery
is the largest of the kind in the world,
there is little danger of the trust at
tempting to make any fight against
them.
Mr.. Allen said that he hardly
thought that a trust had been formed,
and he knew that there was consider
able opposition against the combine
among the large tanneries in the west.
In explaining the position of the Ken
osha industry toward the trust Mr..
Allen said that both he and his brother
Charles Allen, had always been deeply
interested in their home city, and they
would not consider the proposition to
turn their large business over so a com
bination which might at any time de-
eide to close it down indefinitely, and
throw hundreds of Kenosha citizens
out of employment.
