Connected With the Iron and Steel
Business in the United States.

at the Pennoyer Sanitarium.
The deceased had been a sufferer
from Bright's disease for some time
and that was the cause of his death.
The death of Col. Yardley marks the
passing of man who had been prom

the senior partner. In 1860 he built
the E1mira steel rail mill of Elmira,
N. I. Upon the outbreak OF the CIVIL
war he entered the government rail
mill service with the rank of Colonel.
At the conclusion of the war he was
engaged with Colonel w. w. Wright
on the survey of the Kansas Pacific
railroad.
Upon the completion of this work he
became connected with the cast iron
pipe manufacturing company OF
Thomas GAYLORD & Co., of Cincinnati.
In 1884 he accepted the position OF
purchasing agent of the Troy Steel
and Iron company of Troy, N. Y. He
resigned in 1888 and came to Chicago
to assume charge of the cast iron pipe
department of Robert w. Hunt & Co.,
which position he retained until Ill
health compelled him to retire five
months ago. Since that time he had
made, his home at the Sanitariun in
this city.

TO CONDEMN LANDS,
Northwestern Company Start Pro-
ceedings to Extend Their Lines
in KenOsha County.
BENEFIT BIG ICE COMPANIES.
The Company Plan toE Build a Line Five
Miles From The Mainline to a House
Erected by the Knickerbocker Co.

The attorneys of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company Sat.
morning filed with the Clerk of the
Circuit Court papers in condemnation
proceedings, It is the purpose of the
company to building large extension
to their lines in the town of Randall
for the benefit of the ice trust.
The application for the condemna-
ton proceedings is long one and
recites the great benefits that are to
be reaped by the construction of line
along the shores of Powers lake. The
company state that the line will be
about five miles long and stretch in a
westerly direction from the main one.
| The property to be condemned is that
! of Charles and Dora Pretzman. The
terminus of the line will be monster
ice house, which is to be erected by the
! ice trust on the shore of Powers lake.
; A short time ago the Consumers
Ice Company, of Chicago, were seek
| ing a site on the shores of the lake,
but they were not able to secure It.
However, the Knickerbocker company
has now secured the land and will
build the largest house in Kenosha
county. The size of the house, as
shown on the plan presented with the
application for the condemnation pro-
ceedings, is 200 by 400 feet. The work
on the house will be started as soon as
the company are assured that the rail-
way tracks will be laid for their
benefit.
The building of this track, and it
will probobly be built, will add an
other large ice district to Kenosha
county. For some time this part of
the county has been unavailable on
account of the lack of transportation
facilities. 1t is probable that the
building of the line will increase the
value of property in the neighborhood
until such time as the ice companies
have purchased all the land along the
shore of the lake. sThe hearing on
the petition is set for Nov. 3Oth.

TO HIGHER COURTS.
MANY Kenosha County Cases Will be Heard
in the Supreme Court.


Kenosha county promises to be well
represented in the councils of the SUI
preme court during the next few
months. This morning two very I'M
portant cases, which have been tried in
the local courts, were sent to the higher
one for decision. These cases were
the suits of John C1ausen vs.. Dan
Head ct al, and that of Hannah Kelley
ct al VS.. John Crawford. Both cases
bring up interesting points for de-
cision.
The first is one of the cases growing
out of the failure of the old Dan Head
Bank. C1ausen, the plaintiff, had a
sum of money which he claimed had
been in the hands of the bank and
after the failure he brought suit to re-
cover it. This is the second Of the
bank cases to go to the supreme court,
the first one being that of Mrs. Slocum
against the men connected with the
bank, having been decided in favor of
the plaintiff, and returned to this
county for trial. The case was never
tried and it is supposed that the suit
was settled out of court. The testi-
mony in the C1ausen-Head suit is of
vo1uminous nature, and several ether
cases are cited in bringing the facts to
the notice of the judges.
The Crawford case is quite as inter-
esting. A farm valued at about 80, 1000
is the bone of contention. The estate
of William Crawford, deceased, has
never been settled and some of the
heirs are making an effort to eject
John Crawford, one of the sons from
piece of ground, which he alleges was
given to him by his father some time
before his death. Crawford had no
deed or anything in the way of
written document to show for the gift,
but he had been in possession of the
farm for some time. Both cases Will
come up in the near future.
Besides these cases the one of Mary
Hale Allen VS.. Patrick L. Haynes,
Gustav L. Clausen 5nd B. J. Arnold,
will also be taken up to the higher
court, as soon as the judgment IN the
circuit court has been entered. The
attorneys III TIC CdSC d1 Oil CoOJ pr
pairing their briefs and this case will
probably be one of great Importance
and one that will be carefully watched
by ali people interested in street rail
ways in Wisconsin. On account of a
recent decision of the supreme court in
the Linden land case the defendants
in the action seems to look for an easy

some points in the Kenosha suit that
have never been presented to the high
err courts and a hard fight will follow.

SOUTH ENDS LOSE TWO GAMES
Racine Indoor Base Ball Playere Take an
Easy Victory From Kenosha PLAYERS.

Racine and Kenosha crossed bats on
the gas lit diamond Thursday night at
Park City hall, and as a result the
South Ends met a hard defeat by a
score of II to Z.
The Racine boys put up splendid
game, and the South Ends played hard
to win, but the team, while filled with
good individuals, lacked team work
On this account the Racine players
won. The Racine men hit the ball
hard and often, and hit it when hits
meant runs.
During the evening the South Ends
played the Balm team and lost another
game by a score of 9 to g.. The second
game was the better of the two.
The sport has not lost any of its
favor with the Kenosha people and the
crowd which witnessed the game tested
the capacity of the hall. 1t is probable
that an effort will be made to combine
all the local teams into one.
Several games have been scheduled
for the next few weeks.
