HAD A WARM FIGHT.
MEMBERS OF THE LAKESIDE CLUB
CAUSE TROUBLE ON NORTH SIDE
TWO STRANGERS ATTACKED.
Both Are Badly Wounded by the Drunken
Mob-six Arrests Are Made and Heavy
Fines Imposed-The Club Will
Be Closed

The North side was the scene of a
bloody street melee on Sunday night
and as result of the fracas six boys
and men giving their names as George
Wade, Charles Wade, William Faek,
Jacob Karpen, E. N. Horner and G.. A.
Horner, were arrested by Officers
Barber and O'Hare and brought before
Judge Slater this morning on charge
of fighting on the street.
The fight was a most disgraceful
affair and from all stories the members
of the Lakeside Pleasure club played
the most important part in it. The
four men first named are all members
of the club and spent the afternoon
engaged in drunken 6ebauch in an
old hut on the lake shore used by the
Lakeside club as headquarters. When
the eight O'clock car arrived from Ra-
cine two of the members of this organ
ization were at the station. Among
the passengers on the car were two
young men named Horner, one of
whom is employed at the brass mill
and the other is barber.
When the 1.-TWO Horners got off the
car one of the club men told them to
take the bus down town but Horner
and bis brother stated that they in
tended to walk and started to carry
out their intention. The fellows who
had approached them at the station
followed them and heaped all sorts of
| indignities upon them until finally one
of the Horners turned around and or
dered the fellows to desist from annoy
ing them. This precipitated fight
but the Horner boys soon got rid OF
the two fellows. However they re-
turned in short time with re- inforce-
ments from the other members of the
club and the fight which followed re-
suited in both the Horners being badly
bruised and barely escaping serious
injury. One of the boys had his face
laid open and his eye badly bruised
while the other received a bad scalp
wound and after having been knocked
down his assailants proceeded to jump
on him and kick him until he cried
enough.
The injured men came down town
and at once made complaint to the
police. Early this morning the entire
party was arrested. Karpen, and the
two Wade boys were fined $40 and
costs while Fack was discharged.
The two Horner boys on plea of
guilty were fined dollar and costs,
but the fines were remitted on the
grounds that they had only protected
themselves from an assault.
The three boys fined belong to good
families on the North side and the
parents of the Wade boys paid their
fines. Karpen was committed to Jail.
All the boys are minors and the
examination brought out the fact that
the Lakeside Pleasure Club was only a
fence by which minors could obtain all
the liquor they desired
The police will see that the club is
disbanded.

Amalgamated Metal Workers Organize a
Chapter in Kenosha.
Another addition has been made to
the long list OF. labor organizations in
Kenosha. Saturday evening local
chapter of the amalgamated metal
workers union was launched on the
sea of trade unionism in this city.
The installation of the new union
was made great event in labor circles

of laborers gathered at the headquarters
of the Trades and Labor Council to
see that the new organization was
properly started. The forming of the
union was conducted by thirty five
members of the organization in Racine
who came down in a special car for
the purpose The new union started
out with over thirty members, but it is
the intention to bring ali the metal
workers in the city under it's dispense
ton.
After the business meeting the new
union held an informal reception, at
which large number of local labor
leaders were in attendance. A sumptu-
GUS repast with celery on the side, as
the boys put it), was served.

HOW TO THAW PIPES.
President Adams Gives Instructions as to
Methods Employed.

Methods Employed.
President G.. Z. Adams, of the State
University, has issued circular letter
to the people of the State explaining
the method of thawing water pipes.
He says in part:
"The source of electric power which
is required in thawing service pipes
should be capable of producing 300
amperes of electric current, with a
pressure of from so to 60 volts. This
power may be obtained by means of an
alternating current transformer con-
nected with electric light lines, or any
other similar source. Whenever sew
eral pipes in a city are frozen we
advise that the water works and
electric light companies be asked to
| join in the effort to facilitate the work
of thawing. In Madison the price of
thawing service pipes is ordinarily
between SIS and $40 per pipe. Although
up to the present time experience has
been chiefly confined to service pipes,
the method is applicable to street
mains in case sufficient power is obtain
able. 1t has been computed that rs
horse power is requisite to thaW out
within thirty minutes frozen main six
inches in diameter for distance of 100
feet. For a longer distance correspond
ing power would be required. 1t is
ordinarily found that the time need for
thawing any length of pipe less than
200 feet does not exceed half an hour
