ENTIRE FAMILY POISONED.
W. Il. Drake ana Family are Strangely
Affected by Eating Corned Beef.

The members of the family of w. H.
Drake had a narrow escape from pois-
oning last Saturday evening. In the
morning quantity of corned beef was
purchased from one of the markets of
the city and was prepared for dinner.
Ali the family, with the exception of
the son Of Mr.. Drake, partook heartily
of the beef at dinner, and about five
O'Clock in the afternoon all of them
were taken seriously i'll. Fits of vom-
iting followed, and DR.. Robinson was
called to attend the affected members
of the FAMILY.
For some time it was feared that Mr..
Drake could not recover from the eff
fects of the poison, but he is much
better today.
The doctor who attended the Drake
family was seen but could give no rea-
son for the action of the beef. He
said that such cases of poisoning were
not uncommon.

HAD A HOT TIME.
Soldiers From Fort Sheridan Come to
Kenosha Get Into a Drunken De-
bauCh and Forget to Return
ONE is SHOT BY AN OFFICER

After Paying a Fine In this City they go
to the Tavern West of Town and Refuse
to Return With the oficer to the Fort
Sergeant Kenny is Forced to shoot One
of the Men while Resisting Arrest Shot
in the Leg.
Two soldiers of the Third regiment
from Fort Sheridan made things lively
in Kenosha and vicinity for the last
few days and when they were taken
back to the fort this morning one of
them had been shot in the leg.
The men came to this city Saturday
evening. They had been granted
fur1ough of twenty-four hours and
came to Kenosha to enjoy it. They
soon found the way to the saloons and
before sunset they were we'll filled up.
Later they caused a disturbance in the
Mike1sen saloon and when the Chief
of Police attempted to arrest them
they made a vigorous resistance.
Later they were lodged in jail, where
they gave their names as William
Junker and Charles Williams. Junker
is private, while Williams is nom
commissioned officer. They we're
brought before Justice Slater and fined
and after the payment of the fines they
left the city for the express purpose of
returning to the fort.
When their furlough expired and did
not return the officers at the fort began
a search for them. They were tracked
to this city and later it was discovered
that when they left the city Sunday
they had gone to tavern west Of the
city.
Here they were found this morning
by Sergeant Kenny and a number Of
other officers who were sent to this
city to apprehend the men and return
them to the fort. According to the
story told, as soon as the officials look
ing for the soldiers approached the
tavern the doors were locked, and in
order to gain adn1ittance to the place
the officers were obliged to break in the
doors.
When the doors had been broken
open the house was searched, and the
men were found in a drunken condi-
ton hid under a bed in one of the
sleeping rooms of the tavern.
The officers at once placed the two
men under arrest, but they refused to
accompany them to the fort. In at
tempting to take the men by force
Sergeant Kenny was forced to shoot
one of the men III the leg. He was not
seriously injured and later, together
with his companion, was taken to the
fort.
It is not known whether the men will
be charged with desertion or not. The
regiment to which the two soldiers
belong will leave Ft. Sheridan for
Manila tomorrow.

TO COMPLETE PARK PAVING.
City Council Will be Asked to rake Some
Action Toward That End.

The meeting of the City Council this
evening promises to be very interest
ing one, and at that time Mayor Cor
man will present proposition to the
city in regard to the paving of the un-
paved streets around Central park. 1t
is the intention of z. G.. Simmons to
do some of the work of improving the
park during the next few months, and
he is very anxious that the work of
paving be completed before the other
work is started. The Mayor will urge
that some steps be taken to have the
work done at once.
OF course the city will be affected by
the paving more than any tax payer
about the park, and it is not thought
that any remonstrance to the work will
be presented. The estimate of the
cost tc the city for the work is little
over six thousand dollars. OF course
the city is not in shape to make this
expenditure at this time, but Mr.. Sim
mons has made a proposition to the
Mayor to the effect that if the city will
go ahead and complete the improve
ment he. will advance all the funds
needed for the purpose, until such time
as the city treasury shall be in condi-
ton to pay for the work.
It is certainly greatly to be desired
that the streets be paved, and the
sooner the work is accomplished the
better.

TROLLEY LINE TO CHICAGO.
A Plan Under way to Build up Gaps and
Reach the Illinois Metropolis.

ReacQ the 1411uO4S M0b1OpO4AS'
A ride from Milwaukee to Chicago
and arognd the Union elevated loop
at Chicago without change of cars is
one of the possibilities Of the near flu
ture, says a dispatch from Chicago.
It is reported III that city that an
arrangement has been made between
the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
road and the Northwestern Elevated
company, in connection with the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and Union
Loop companies, whereby the cars of
the Milwaukee Electric line will be run
from Waukegan to Evanston, where
connection will be made with the Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad. AS soon
as the latter is transformed into an
electric line and the gap between Ke-
nosha and Waukegan has been built,
the cars will be run over the tracks of
this company to connection with the
Northwestern Elevated road in the
vicinity of Wilson avenue, Chicago.
At this point an incline will be built
to connect with the G. M. & St. P.
road. The cars will be run up this
incline, over the Northwestern Ele-
waited and around the loop.
It is reported from Chicago that all
details of the arrangement have been
agreed to by the managers of the inter
ested roads and that the through SER
vice will become effective as soon as
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul line
is electrically equipped and the North
western Elevated is nished.--Sentine1.

Charles Citing Begins {. Suit Against the
North Western R. R. Co. for Damages

Charles Citing Begins & Suit Against tnS
North western R. R. Co. for Damages
A summons was issued this morning
in suit brought by Charles Fitting, a
nine-year-o1d boy, through his guard
ian, Norman L. Baker, against the
Chicago & North Western Railway
company, for the purpose of recover
ing damages to the sum of $4,000.
The suit is the outcome of an acci~
dent which happened TO the boy in
Central park on the sixth of July, He
was playing in the park with a number
of companions when he was shotin the
leg. For long time it was thought
that the boy had been injured by
premature discharge of a revolver In
the hands of one of the boys with
whom he was playing, but according
to the complaint, it is alleged that the
boy was in jured as a result of the neg
1igence of the employees Of the company
who are named as defendants in the
suit.
According to the complaint at the
time the boy was injured the railway
company was running Train lnIouSh
the park and had placed torpedo on
the track to be used as a signal. The
torpedo was exploded by an approach
ing engine and the plaintiff alleges
that pieces of the torpedo, so exploded,
struck the boy in the leg and caused a
wound from which he was seriously
injured and manned for life.
The serving of the summons will
place an entirely new light on the ac-
cident and the developments in the
case will be watched with a great deal
of interest.

STOLE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A Steel Box Containing This Amount
Carried on.

CITY OF MEXICO, September pa
sensational robbery occurred yesterday~in
a suburb of this city. Guadalupe Vas
quez, an old woman s. years OF age,
living with her widowed daughter, was
the victim.
The women were alone and employed
no servants, which is unusual in this
country among people having property.
Every one thought them exceedingly
poor, but this was only apparent, for they
had a great sum of money in the house,
there being kept in a steel box $4,000 in
bank bills, the proceeds Of the sale of a
hacienda they sold. Other than this
sum there were many thousand dollars
kept in the wardrobes in stockings or be-
tween the leaves of books.
Recently some men came TO the house
and hired a large corral at its rear, os-
tensibly for the purpose OF keeping pigs.
Yesterday morning, the mother being
alone in the house, these men came, and
on the pretence Of having message 10
deliver were let in by the old woman,
whom they seized and bound with ropes.
They then took the steel box with the
$4,000 and decnmped, hut omitted TO
search for other money.
The women, on being Intercepted by
the police, said they had heard that bank
clerks had been stealing money from
banks. and they were afraid to deposit
their funds. Many arrests have Decn
made. and the police are confident they
have discovered the robbers.
