JOHN TETARD DEAD.
Remains of Former Kenosha County Sheriff
Brought Here for Burial.

A telegram was received in this city
Thursday announcing the death OF
Capt. John Tetard, one of the early
pioneer citizens of this city, which &C.
Cured at his home in Crested Butte,
Colorado, Wednesday morning. The
remains were shipped from Colorado
Thursday and arrived in this city Fri,
day afternoon. They were taken tc
ST. James church, from which place
the funeral was held Saturday
morning. The remains were laid tc
rest at the side of his father at the old
Tetard plat in the city cemetery.
The announcement of the death OF
John Tetard will cause a great deal OF
sorrow in the city. While many of the
men who were intimately acquainted
with him have passed to the great be-
yond, there are still large number
Sheriff of Kenosha County. The de-
ceased was one Of the first settlers of
this county. His parents were natives
of New Jersey, but as early as 1886
they came out to old Fort Dearborn,
(now Chicago), and here the son was
born. At the beginning of 1910 they
carried the infant John to his new
home in this city and for many years
he was destined to take an important
part in the history of the city. AS
soon as he was of age he took to the
lake for living and for many years he
was one of the famous early lake cap
tains. His vessel, the ''Standing,'
was known in every port along the
lakes, and in this manner Mr.. Tetard
made a large sum of money.
After retiring from the Great Lakes
he took an important part in the po1it-
ica1 life of Kenosha. For many years
he was City Marshal and he was at one
time elected to the office of Sheriff of
the county. He was an ardent Repub-
1ican and always stood high in the
councils of his party. Early in the
eighties failing health forced him to
leave Kenosha and with his family he
went to Colorado. Here he at once
became leader in the mining indus
try. A man of marked courage and an
officer with few equals, he was recently
made Chief of Police at Crested Butte.
During his term of office he was forced
to take up the fight against the min.
ers, and while carrying on this fight
he contracted diseases that caused his
death. His wife and three children,
two sons and one daughter, survive
him. He was also d brother-in-1aw of
M. Huck OF this city.

HELD UP THE TRAIN.
Plucky Kenosha Woman Holds Train to
Get Wedding Present Aboard.

To one woman in Kenosha belongs
the honor of stopping traffic on the
Chicago & Rockford division of the
Chicago & North Western railway in
this city yesterday, for the story is told
this morning in message over the
lines as follows:
Chicago & Rockford passenger held
here for ten minutes last night TO allow
a Kenosha woman to get a wedding
present on the train.
When called upon to give an explain
alton of the matter the officials of the
road were reticent, but before noon the
story leaked out. 1t was jolly crowd
and they were bound for the Walker
Williams wedding at Paris. They
went on the Rockford passenger train
and among the number was a well
known woman of this city. She reach
ed the depot in time and found "a seat
on the train, but when it started she
discovered that a wedding present
which she had decided to take to the
b1ushing bride, was not on the train.
The present had been sent on ahead i'll
| the custody or one OF her TRENDS, out
it failed to reach the station.
The wheels began to move and the
train was starting, when the woman
went to the conductor and asked that
| the train be stopped. This the con-
ductor refused to do, and went on col
Letting his tickets. But the lady was
not to be turned down, and she hero
ica1ly grasped the bell rope, and in a
minute brakes had been reversed and
the train was brought to stand-still.
Argument was of no avail, and the
woman refused to let the train start
until after the present was safely
slowed on board.
| OF course the woman was highly de-
lighted, but the crowd didn't seem to
take the matter in this manner, and
her action is being criticised about the
city today.

HAS PASSED AWAY,
Ex-senator PhiIetus Sawyer Died at
His Home in Oshkosh Early
This Morning.
ONE OF THE OLD STATE GUARD

Born of Humble Parentage He Came to
wisconsin in 1s47 and Since That Time
He Has Taken an Important Part in the
History of the State.-Was Represen-
tative of the State in the Halls of Con-
gress for Eighteen Years.
Oshkosh, Wis, March 29.-Ex-Sena-
tor Phi1etus Sawyer died at his home
in this city this morning.
The entire state pauses in extreme
sorrow to lament the death of ex-Sena-
tor Sawyer. His death will be a crush
ing blow to the people of the entire
state for while he was resident of
Oshkosh, the entire state claims him
as her own.
Phi1etus Sawyer was born of humble
parentage in Vermont September D,
1916. His father was farmer black
smith and when the younger Sawyer
was year old he removed to New
York. Early in life the old senator
was sent out to make his own living
and in 1847 with a small capital earned
by honest toll, he came to Wisconsin
soon went into the numbering business
ard has been known throughout the
country as one of the l1eenest business
men that Wisconsin ever produced.
AS much as may be said of the n1er-
camille life of Mr.. Sawyer his great
interest to the people of the state has
been in the manner in which he served
the state. He may be justly called
zone of the Old Wisconsin Guard.
AS a politician his reputation is world
wide and his name added to the list of
Wisconsin gives it a new glory.
AS servant of the people he has
won a record which has been given to
| few residents of the state. For five
terms he represented the Sixth Wis
consin District in Congress, and in
1881 he was elected by the Republican
party as United States Senator. In
1887 he was reelected as his own sue
cessor. His entire record in Congress
is spot1ess. He was connected with
many of the most important commit
tees of the house and senate, and all
his duties were carried out in way
that made him we'll beloved by the
people of the entire nation.
To his long record IN Congress
should be added the record of his work
while a member of the State Legisla
ture, and as mayor of his home city.
He had amassed a great fortune by
honest toll, but large amounts of i
have been contri buted to charity, anC
these things will remain as monu
ment to his noble life.
