BY 4 HORSE,
Charles Dabbs, of Pleasant Prairie,
Meets With a Terrible Accident
On Monday Afternoon.
SKULL CRUSHED BY THE BLOW,
he Young Man Had Taken a Horse to a
Pasture When It Turned and Kicked
Him In the Head.

Charles Dabbs, only son of William
Dabbs and one of the best known young
men of the town Of Pleasant Prairie,
Monday evening by being kicked by
horse. The young man is still IN an
unconscious condition and it is feared
that the accident will result fatally.
Mr.. Dabbs had been taking the
horses to a pasture near the house, and
the animal, which had never been
known to be vicious, was the last to be
turned loose. AS the halter was re-
moved from the horse, and the young
man started to leave the field, the horse
whirled round and kicked him the
blow, striking him in the front part of
the head. The young man fell to the
ground in an unconscious condition,
and was found short time later by
one of the members of the family still
unconscious. He was carried to the
house, his face and head covered with
blood, and messenger was sent to
Kenosha for a-doctor to attend him.
DR.. Farr hurried to the Dabbs home
and found. the young man had been
seriously, if not fatally injured. An
examination showed that the skull had
been fractured and broken pieces of
the bone were pressing down upon the
brain. 1t was found necessary to per-
form an operation at once and a small
part of the broken skull was removed.
Mr.. Dabbstis resting as easy as could
be expected under. the circumstances.
He has not as3 get regained conscious
ness and DR.. Farr was mot able to say
what the outcome,weuld obe, but grave
fears are entertained secs
The injury to the young man has
caused great deal OF. sorrow in Pleas
ant Prairie. e9FS2E9t

'IT takes at least a year before
new Senator is really of very much
account in Washington" said Senator
Ouarels on his return to Milwaukee
after the close of the recent session.
This confession comes with all the
more grace because made by one of
the brightest men sent to the Senate a
year ago. At the same time it speaks
we'll for Senator Quar1es that he has
learned the lesson that some able
Senators failed to learn. AS the Sena-
tor saws there are "a thousand and one
things to learn. Among these chou
sand and one things for a new Sena-
tor to learn is the fact that there are
a good many capable men, and not
few very capable men indeed in the
United States Senate, besides himself.
He must learn that he may not be re-
garded as quite such a paragon of
brains among that assembly Of para
CONS as he was down home. If he
does not learn this lesson pretty well
he is in danger of having some of the
brilliant oratory a nd sapient utterances
that proved so spell-binding to his
constituency most rude1y torn into
shreds by his associates. Many an
unfortunate Senator has let this little
but important lesson pass unlearned
and has never recovered from the
errors consequent thereto. But Senator
Ouarles has been laying low and in
the meantime learned thing or two
that will save him much embarass-
ment that certain less fortu nate SEN
ators have undergone.

A TRUTH KNowERs ARGUMENT
He Says You Should Not Judge DR.. Karil-
lab, but Pray to God to Forgive Him.

lab, but Pray to God to Forgive Him
A piece in the paper caused me to
wonder if the brothers and sisters
truth knowers are taking it in their
hands and judging people according to
their spiritual works. Oh, friends,
stop before it is too late! That re-
mains to Our Heavenly Father, the
creator of all things and the Savior.
He is the one to do that, not his poor
humble creatures. l stand firm in the
cause of God, but do not Judge any
person. I leave that to God. Gods
truth cannot be bought or sold. If
one is teacher and 10 so much for the
people as DR.. ]. G. Kari11ah has, no
one has right to stop him teaching.
If he has made few mistakes forgive
him. If we do not forgive him God
will not forgive us if we make a
mistake.
We, each and every one, must thank
DIR. ]. G.. Kari1lah for bringing the
truth to America; therefore give DR..
Kari11ah credit for bringing so many
into the truth. We cannot say he can
not teach any more. It is wrong, you
will not have to stand his responsible
ties, therefore do not worry. l have
prayed to my Heavenly Father to for
give DR.. Karillah and 1 will pray even
though I am the only one that will do
it. Better for him to have a mill
stone tied round his neck and cast into
the sea than to harm one of Gods lit
tie ones. Pray to God to forgive you
for what you have done before it is too
late. A Truth KNOWER.

It IS not probable that there were
any among them who took active part
IN the campaign against Black Hawk,
or who carry very distinct personal
recollections of the occurrences of that
stirring time, 1t may be that many of
them are still living on portions of the
vast tract of several millions of acres
that our scrupulously honest fore
fathers purchased from the tribesmen
of Black Hawk, but it scarcely seems
that the name of Black Hawk should
Ise missed on that account. To be
sure Black Hawk sadly failed to
see new he and his tribesmen
were going to profit much b. the prop

that he was only an uncouth savage,

actuated his white American neigh

WRECK CASE CONTINUED.
John Ringhold Arraign4d OF Charge of
Attempt TO wreck Train


John Riughold was arraigned in the
justice court this morning or. a charge
of attempting to wreck a train on the
Northwestern railroad last Monday
night and the case against him was
continued until Monday. AS the days
go by and the story of the attempted
wreck grows the city officials are be-
ginning to doubt the story little and
many queer things are being toldin
regard to the attempted wreck. OF
course no one doubts but that there was
some attempt made, but the stories
that are being. told in regard to it are
sufficient to make the proverbia1 dog
laugh. The interest in the affair is
still undated, but the fact remains
that the entire story of the passenger
train dashing by and the arrest of two
~ men as is being stated in Milwaukee
papers, is without any foundation.
Chief O'Hare is surely disappointed
in the case and the farther he goes
with the investigation the evidence
against Ringhold is becoming beauti-
fully less. It is stated on good author
ity that Ringhold was in Winthrop
Harbor at 8 O'Clock Monday night and
started to the Rhode tavern to get a
bottle of whiskey.
This is about as far as the evidence
against the man has been found. The
ties placed on the track are alleged to
have been very heavy ones, and piled
in the shape which has been so
infinitely described it seems that it
would have certainly been splendid
work for any man to remove them
while the train was running from the
city limits to the scene of the alleged
attempt. Added to this it must be re-
membered that unless Halves was left
handed, the work was done with his
left hand, as it is stated that during
the time of the removing of the ties
the would be wrecker was covered by
revolver held by the young man.
The railway company are still inves-
tigating the case, but as yet they have
not made known their intention TO
prosecute the man now under arrest.

GOLD men for counsel and young
men for action was, the maxim of the
ancients. In many respects modern
days with their modern methods have
modified the old precept. In the old
time, when the duty of the counsellor
was found in the quiet and dig nified
sec1usion of the senate chamber and
the field of activity was chiefly the
field of battle the wisdom of such d
principle could not be questioned. But
in the closing days of the 10th century
when the function of counsellor calls
for constant activity and action is
much less that of muscle than of brain
the ancient maxim loses much of its
force. The old man, unless of unusual
mental and physical vigor, would give
out under the pressure of So vast an
amount of serious work as the session
of Congress just djourned disposed of
On the other hand the young man,
however vigorous of brain and body,
would have been an unsafe person
with whom to have left the grave re-
sponsibilities met by the recent Con-
gress. In these days, when war. is

rare. the most serious duties aud great
est activities of government are de-
rnanded of those who fiji the position
of counsellor either in the various
officers or in the legislatures Of state
and nation. The central figure of to-
day is neither the young man nor the
old man. 1t is the man of middle age,
one who, by virtue both of mature
Judgment and physical and mental
vigor is capable of performing the
most arduous and responsible duties,

among that band of old settlers. whose
fathers were among the army of Eye
hundred rangers who were Fputed tPy
Black Hawk at Stillman's creek, who
so CALAMITY fired into Black Hawks
ENJOYS bearing the white flag, and
Just after ran with such grace and
alacrity from twenty-five Of Black
Hawks warriors, that strong aversion
to Black Hawk might be natural. But
we had always conso1ed ourselves with
the belief that those cowardly rangers
were not from what afterward became
the Badger State.
On the whole we believe the old
settlers were little severe on the
eminent lecturer and writer. His SEN
timent may have led him to too great
sympathy with the talented Indian
chief. Butsanyone who has read that
portion of Wisconsin, history knows
we'll that there are many things in
Black Hawks experience calling out
both sympathy and admiration.
When we consider that Black Hawk
was an Indian; that he was bright
enough to oppose virtually giving away
to the United States government the
vast and beautiful territory in posses
sion of the Indians; that, situated with
in the limits of that territory, was the
greatest Sac village in existence, the
ancient home of the tribe, the burial
place of it's people for, centuries,
surrounded with ali the traditions
that the Indian so loves; that a
clause in the purchase treaty gave
the Indians the right to live and
hunt upon the land until sold by the
government; that while the line of sale
and settlement was still so miles to the
east, white men, without purchasing
from the government, in open breach
of treaty, came and squatted upon the
lands of Black Hawk; that when Black
Hawk and his people returned from
their winter hunts they found their
nd O1Cd L1OuS C1lISL dACO " liz 8 AOlAAAO
or their fields fenced in and their homes
occupied by armed white men; that
Black Hawk made repeated suppl
cations to the U. S. government for.
redress of grievances in vain; that.
Indian tho he was, he endured this
state of affairs for some time; that
after he had been compelled to cross
the Mississippi he was grossly deceived
by those he thought his friends, who
played upon his patriotism to lead him
to recross the Mississippi; that during
the war that ensued Black Hawks
every attempt at surrender was dis
regarded, even to the extent of slaugh-
tering the Indians under their flag of
truce; that Black Hawk justified his
action in the following almost poetic
words: Crock River was a beautiful
country, l liked my home, liked my
cornfe1ds, I fought for them" We can
surely find some grounds for excusing
in a man of Mr.. Gar1and's nature at
least, a burst of feeling in behalf of
the once great Sac chief.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1900-06-14

IN an editorial anent the Hanlin-
Garland Black Hawk speech the Chi
cago Record has the following to say:
probably Mr.. Garland would object
to any proposition that trust Of
half million of white men should own
and occupy the United States to- the
exclusion of other white men. And
yet such a proposition would be about
the same as the doctrine maintained
by Black Hawk, which was t'at half a
million Indians had right occupy
this country to the exclusiol Of the
whites"
Notwithstanding this argument il is
safe to say that the Record would favor
the proposition that trust of TO- 900
or so Americans should own and occupy
the whole of the United States to the
exclusion of ali other peoples, especi-
ally if they come after it with powder

MUST INSURE CHURCHES.
Bishop Nicholson Issues imely Warning
to the Clergy of His Diocese.


to the clergy of His Diocese.
Bishop Nicholson has issued a state
ment to the clergy and wardens of the
various parishes asking them to give
attention to the matter of fire insur-
ance and to see that the insurance
upon the church property is not only
ample, but paid up. During the bish-
ops administration six churches have
been destroyed by fire and the loss in
some instances was quite heavy. The
most recent occurrence was a Wilmot
in Kenosha county where the loss was
total, the church being destroyed in
conhagration that nearly wiped out the
tcw n. The bishop asks where shall
the next blow fal1?' and requests the
wardens to look out in time. The
reading desk and the Bible and the
font were all that was saved from the
church at Wi1mot.

MADE HER FRY STEAK,
Bold. Deed of Tramp at a west Side
Home This Morning,

home IQ1S ,N40Eu10S.
Kenosha has always been bothered
by tramps, but from reports received
at the police station this morning, it
is evident that they are getting very
bold.
This morning an officer was called
to the backyard to look after 2 wan
dering hobo, and an examination
of the case showed that he had terri
fed the lady of one of the houses in
that part of city into cooking him a
warm breakfast The fellow went to
the house shortly after eight o'clock.
He noted that the lady was alone, and
at once demanded something to eat.
The lady was accommodating and in
vited the fellow into the kitchen and
gave him cold lunch.
At this time the man saw nice
piece of steak on The table and demand
ed that the woman cook it for him.
She at first refused, but the tramp
threatened her and finally she placed
the spider on the stove and fried the
steak for him. The news of the actions
Of the men was at once sent to police
office and he was arrested later by
officer Fe1dshau.
Something should be done to land all
such men in jail and the police will be
pleased to see all such tramps are plaC-
ed behind the bars. They ask for i'm
mediate reports of allsuch. cases.
