West Side, where he stopped in front of
the residence of Squire ]. e. Ahlborn
and loaded about $2S worth of casing
into his wagon and drove away. The
property belonged to the Squire, who
had nc knowledge Of the transaction
until the thief, with his wagon load of
booty. had made himself scarce.
The police were notified and Officer

ROBBED AT BERRYVILLE.
Three Men attempt to Break into House
Between This City and Racine.

Frank Car1s, Jo~eph Smith and Joe
Collins, all claiming Racine as their
home! are in the connty jail. They
were arrested last night by Police Off
Ger Feldschau on suspicion that they
were connected with daring robbery
attem pied at The home of E. G. Hanche
between this city and Racine, at an
early hour this morning. It is known
that three men attempted to get into
the house, but only meager reports
of the alleged crime have been receiv-
ed in this city. Several shots had
been fired when the men were dis
covered, but ali escaped and they were
supposed to have come to this city on
a freight train.
The men arrested by Officer Field
schau had just come to this city on a
freight train, and on this account it
was thought that they were connected
with the crime. AS the attempted
robbery occurred in Racine county the
arrest was reported to the officials of
that county, and one of the officers
came down this afternoon to take the
men back to Racine.

THE DIGNITY OF THE LAW.
Alderman Curtis Pays a Fine for Riding
Bicycle on the Sidewalk.

G.H. Curtis appeared before Justice
Nc Carron Monday morning and plead
guilty 70 violating the city ordinance
providing against riding bicycles on
sidewalk, and paid fine of one dollar,
and the costs of the action.
There is quite little story behind
the arrest and conviction of the A1det-
man. Chris Bockenheuser and Alder
man Curtis are neighbors, and on
Sunday afternoon the former was
seen riding a wheel on the sidewalk by
Constable Gloss, and arrested for vio-
1ating the city ordinance. The arrest
was a hard blow to Bockenheuser and
as misery likes, company he decided
that his neighbor should help him
out of the difficulty, SO Bockenheuaer
went to the constable and made com
plant against Curtis.
Curtis was placed under arrest early
CHS morning and ordered to appear at
the police Office at $50. In the mean
time Bockenheuser went to the alder
man and told him that he was in the
same boat and wanted Curtis to use

the clock struck nine-thirty he walked

fine, . and entered a plea of guilty to
the charges brought against him.
The fine was promptly assessed and
as promptly paid and the dignity of
the law was upheld. Now Bocken-

CITY MUST ANSWER.
Theodore A. Wandreyka Brings Notice
of Suit for Damages Against
City of Kenosha.
INJURED IN BECK EXPLOSION.
Notice Served on Mayor and City Clerk
That Lacrosse Travelling Man Will
Demand Damages From City.

The city of Kenosha must answer
for the damage done to life and prop
erty by the explosion which occurred IN
the saloon of Henry Beck on the even
ing of August II, for late Saturday
afternoon T. A. Wandreyka, OF La
Crosse, one of the men injured IN the
explosion, through his attorneys,
Baker & Baker, filed with the city clerk
a notice that he would demand dam
ages from the city. In the notice, the
plaintiff in the coming suit alleges
that he was badly injured while pass
ing on the street in front of the ex-
p1osion on the night of the incident
and that the in jury resulted from the
negligence of the city council in allow
ing a gasoline tank to be placed IN the
earth back of the saloon building. He
alleges that the city permitted the
tank to be placed and further author
lied the same to be connected with the
building by pipe, whereby the gaso-
line could find it's way into the rooms
of the building. That this pipe was
placed in such manner that its exist
ence endangered the life and property
of many citizens, and therefore the
CITY was liable for the damages of the
accident.
In legal circles the complaint has
been expected for some time, but as
the time for the fling of the cour
plant was So near expired it was
thought possible that the city would
not be called to answer. AS ito SUITS
being filed by other injured people
there is no evidence, and as the time
for such notices to be filed has nearly
expired, it is thought that the La
Crosse man Will be the only person
who will demand damages from the
city. Nothing is known as to the
amount of damages that will be de-
manded or as to the defense that will
be offered by the city. The fling of
the notice while not surprise, brings
up many important legal points and as
far as can be discovered it IS the first
suit of the kind ever brought against
any city in the state. The decision in
the suit will open the way for many
other suits. Six people were injured
in the explosion and one of the men
died from his injuries, and should all
of these people seek to recover from
the city for injuries the city would
have its hands filled with law suits
which would bring about costly litiga-
ton lasting for many years.
/ Among attorneys it is not thought
that the injured people have much of a
case against, the city, but the suit will
undoubtedly be bitterly contested and
there is any chance the city will be
held for heavy damages.
OF course the greatest damage was
done to the life and property of Henry
Beck, but the widow of Mr.. Beck has
made no effort to have the city sued
for damages on account of the death of
her husband and the destruction of his
property.

MORE TROUBLE IN BRIGHTON
Father Nicholas Weyer swears out War
for the Arrest of Louis Karpen.

.e Church circles in the town of
Brighton are being agitated, and fol-
lowing closely the suits recently
brought to collect pew rent, Father
Nicholas Weyer, pastor of St. Xavier's
Roman Catholic church, appeared be-
fore Justice Slater this morning and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Louis Karpen, one of the members of
the church, charging him with making
a malicious attempt to injure the
Catholic parsonage in the little viii
1age. The complaint states that a few
days ago Karpen went to the road IN
front of the house and proceeded to
vent his disapproval of the pastor and
the church by pelting the house with
eggs and manure and that great dam
age was done to the house by the ma
1icious mischief. The warrant was
turned over to the officers and karpen
will probably be arrested this after
noon. When the case comes up for
trial some interesting developments
are awaited. ratt

. OLD POP CORN MAN DEAD
John P L. Brown Passed Away This Morn
ing at the Age of 80 Years

John P. L. Brown, the old Main
street pop corn man. aged 90 years,
closed the last chapter of his eventful
history shortly after nine O'Clock this
morning, when he dropped into that
sleep that knows no awakening, at his
humble cottage on Park street. For
some time Mr.. Brown has been failing
but he had hoped to be able to rally
and round out century of existence,
but the death angel was all too near
and this morning he passed peacefully
to rest with his aged wife at his bed
side.
The death of L. p. Brown marks
the passing of one of the most dis
tinguished of the early pioneer set
tiers of Kenosha county. By ancestry
he was connected with the royalty of
France, and the widow who now weeps
over the 1ife1ess remains of her hus-
band was a second cousin of the great
Marquis de La Fayette. The career
of John P. L. Brown has been one of
more than usual interest. He was
son of Revolutionary parents. Born
on an ocean boat when the boat was
sailing between France and America,
He was a man without a country. He
was the son of a famous warrior, for
his father had fought in the war of
the Revolution, in one of the little
wars with France and England in
the early part of the century,
and in the war of 1872. The
deceased had the advantage of Ii
liberal education and was a highly Gull
tured gentleman. He lived for many
years in other counties but after his
return 70 this county he lost the for
tune which he had won by hard work
and his last years were spentin selling
popcorn on the streets of Kenosha.
Old Mr.. Brown WIS known to every
man, woman and child in Kenosha
and in his death all lose a friend who
will be missed with sorrow. One
daughter and the widow survive.

JOHN SCHULTZ INJURED.
Gardner at the hosiery Works Struck By
Train on Last Saturday Evening

John Schultz, a gardner employed at
the Chicago-Rockford Hosiery works
was struck by a train on last Saturday
evening, but escaped with a slight in
jury. The story as told is that Schultz
had taken a drink too many and had
sat down on the Reconsideration di-
vision tracks just west of the Hosiery
works The train was passing and
struck him and threw him into a ditch
near by. The train backed up and
brought the injured man back to the
railway station and DR.. W. M. Farr,
the surgeon of the company, was called
to attend him The wounds were not
found to be serious, and while the man
was pretty badly bruised up he will be
able to be out again in a few days.
Another story of the accident is that
the man was not struck by train but
fell in a fit and struck his head on a
pile of railroad ties near the track.
Still another story is that the man was
attacked by a crowd of hobos and
robbed and left along the track where
he was picked up in an unconscious
condition Schultz has no memory of
the accident and states that he does
not know how he was injured. The
accepted theory is that the man was
struck by the train while sitting on
the tracks.

KENOSHA WHIPS RACINE.
Simmons Manufactur Co.'s Team De-
feats the North Ends, of Racine.

Eight hundred people gathered at
the Country Club grounds Sunday
afternoon to witness the game of base
ball between the Simmons Manufac-
turing Company's team of this city,
and the North Ends of Racine. The
game was one Of the poorest ever
played on the local diamond. The Ra-
cine team had no license to travel as
base bali club and the Kenosha players
defeated them with ease. Ol1enback,
who pitched for the local team, had the
Racine batters "at his mercy and they
were able to score but two runs during
the game. On the other hand the Ke-
nosha batters took kindly to Lui, the
Racine pitcher, and batted him all over
the grounds for total of twenty-one
hits and sixteen runs. The line up of
+na two teams follows:
