DR.. MALMsTROM INJURED.
Kenosha Doctor Run Down by Trolley
Car in Chicago Thursday

Car in Chicago Thursday.
DR.. Paul Ma1mstrom, of this city
had a narrow escape from death yes
terdav when he was run down by a
cable car at the corner of Randolph
and Dearborn streets, in Chicago The
Kenosha man started to cross the street
in front of the car, which was being
propelled by two horses from one line
to another. He slipped and fell and as
he fell the horses struck him knocking
him from the track. He was picked up
and taken to neighboring drug store
and was unconscious for period Of
ten minutes.
After he recovered consciousness an
examination showed that he was uot
in iured beyond a few bruises. The
doctor returned to Kenosha this morn
ing, and while he is still feeling very
sore on. account of the injuries re-
ceived, it is not thought that he will
be bothered by any of them.
DR.. Ma1mstrom will probably bring
an action against the Chicago COM
pany, as he alleges that the accident
was largely due to the negligence of
the company.

FAVOR THE ROAD.
Well Known Citizen Writes of Advantages
to be Derived From Trolley Cars.


There is no denying the fact but
that the franchise now before the City
Council is one that is being received
with a great deal of favor by the peo-
pie of the city, and to show this favor
we have received today letter from a
we'll known citizen of Kenosha. 1t
reads as follows:
Editor EVENING NEWs:-In view of
the opposition from some sources con-
corning the granting of a franchise to
an electric railway, few suggestions
regarding the advantages to our city
may be pertinent.
Such an improvement involves an
investment of many thousands of dol
lars and the employment of a large
number of men, which is direct bene-
fit to our city. A local car service
reaching to the more remote sections
will not only enhance the value of
lots, but will prove an incentive for
Our people to buy them and build
homes. Then, too, the facilities for
reachiA o the business center by means
of speedy and regular car service, in
creases the sales of our merchants and
also adds to patronage of entertain
ments at the opera house and else
where. The convenience to the public
is inestimab1e and will add to the i'm
portance of our beautiful city.
1t should also be remembered that
electric car lines in small cities are of
far greater advantage to such cities
than the companies operating them,
and they can only be proftab1y main
tanned when run in connection with
lines reaching outside points.
For the benefit of our honora BILE
Mayor and Common Council we wish
to emphasize the fact that the city has
everything to gain by the establish
ment of local car service and nothing
to lose, and they should be very slow to
oppose the wishes IF the people and
best interests of our city by voting
against the franchise now approved by
the committee, for the opportunity
may not come again in years.
Yours for progress,

Found An old Deed.

Register of Deeds Torrey recently
came into possession of an old deed,
which has considerable historic inter
est. 1t is an old deed filed in 1914. 1t
was made in 1912 by Joshua Graves to
L. Willard, transferring for consid-
Grafton of $40 a piece of property 1ocat-
ed on a turnpike between Keene, N.
H., and Boston. The old deed is un-
doubtedly highly valued by it's owner
and can be had by calling on the
Register and proving property.

GETS ANOTHER CARRIER.
Free Delivery System in Kenosha Made
More Ff1cient by Congressmans Efforts
Yours for progress

More Efficient by Congressmans Efforts
The free delivery postal service in
Kenosha is again to be increased, as
Capt. Frantz this morning received the
following letter from Congressman
Cooper which is self explanatory. The
letter is as follows:
Washington, D. c., June II, 1900
Capt Charles Frantz, Kenosha, Wis.,
Dear Captain:-I am just in receipt of
a letter from the Acting First AS
sistant Postmaster General, from
which l make the following quotations:
'I have the honor to inform you that
have this day authorized the Post
master at Kenosha, Wisconsin,, to en-
p1oy one additional carrier from Octo-
Der 1st next to enable him to improve
his free delivery service.
Trusting that this will be satisfac-
tory to you, l am,
Very respectfully,
GEORGE M. ALLEN"
am sorry that this could not have
been made to date from July 1st, as
requested, but presume that you will
be glad to have the new carrier at any
time. Very truly yours,
H. A. COOPER.
With the addition of another post
man the force in Kenosha will be in
creased to seven in all with two sub
stitutes. The new man will be H. A.
Newberry, while the name of the new
substitute has not as yet been made
public.

DEFEATED AGAIN
City Official Bowling Team Loses to the
Park City's by a Large Score.


Patti like, the City Official Bowling
team has again retired from the ath-
1etic world of Kenosha, and this last
withdrawal is due to the fact that on
Thursday night they were defeated by
the champion Park City's by score of
1,649 to 1870. There is no denying the
fact--the official team is a dead one.
Since Mayor German and Aid. Curtis
retired from the game their history has
been one record of defeats. From now
on they will give their attention to foot
races and golf contests, while the Park
City's will be allowed to remain the
undisputed champions of all bowling
teams in Kenosha.
The score of the contest Thursday
evening was as follows:
