The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1900-02-08

A special to the The Tribune gives
the additional information that the
Southern Pacific has purchased the
Carson & Colorado and, of more i'm
portance to Salt Lake, that the Utah
cutoff will leave the Carson & Colorado
at some point on the latter's line, the
new road to be built east from there.
On Tuesday The Tribune had an ar
ticle which stated that the line from
Keller to Mojave would be built. 1t
was shown at the same time that as d.
o. Mills is the owner of the Carson &
Colorado and lately was elected direct
or OF the Southern Pacific, the combin-
alton of the two was but natural out
come. 1t was then shown how the line
could become part of the short cut
from this city to Los Angeles. Salt

convicted him long since OF being the

there certainly has been no reason to
change that conviction. And as to his

SO long since he has been heard on the

TALLY no IN FLAMES
WeIl-KnOwn Society People of Mil
waukee, Racine and KenOsha Have
a Thrilling Experience.
FLAMES START IN FLOWERS
The Tally Ho Which Belonged to Frank
Johnson Had Been Decorated for
the Racine Carnival.

Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Peck, Jr.,
of Milwaukee; Miss Leet, of Louis
vile, Kentucky; Miss Anna Kimba1l,
of this city, and Messrs. Frank John
son and Griffin Mcclellan had mirac-
u1ous escape from being seriously
burned on Sunday afternoon. The
young people had started out from Ra-
cine on brake which was the prop
erty of Mr.. Johnson, and which had
been conspicuous in the flower carni-
val in Racine during the past week.
The young people had driven to petri-
flying springs in this county and had
started to return to Kenosha for din
ner, when the footman discovered that
the brake was on fire. 1t seems that
the entire brake had been covered with
white tissue paper roses and in some
manner one of the young men on the
brake in lighting cigarette had
thrown a match into the midst of the
infammab1e flowers. In a second the
entire brake was a mass of flames.
Mr.. Johnson saw that the horses were
about to run away and he 1eaped from
y
the head. Later Mr.. Peck and Mr..
Mcclellan began to look after the
safety of the ladies. The ladies we're
all attired in light summer garments
and it seemed as if it would be inpos-
sib1e for them to be saved without be-
ing seriously burned. Peck and Nc
C1e11an, however, with great presence
of mind siezed the robes in the brake
and threw them over the ladies and
they were thrown over the back of the
brake to the ground.
The footman, with the fire getting
worse all the time, remained at his
post and assisted Mr.. Johnson to re-
lease the frightened horses from the
burning vehicle. Mr.. Peck remained
on the brake until after the three
ladies had been rescued, and as he
jumped off the brake his clothes were
in flames. The women then turned
and assisted him, but before they could
pull the coat off it lad been burned to
shreds. The footman also had his
coat and vest burned off, but all escaped
without serious injury, Mr.. Johnson
was severely burned about the hands
in working with the burning harness
on the horses.
After the fire the brake was a COM
p1ete wreck. All the cushions and
wicker work of the vehicle was COM
p1ete1y destroyed and the bed of the
vehicle was charred. The party
returned to Racine where they secured
another vehicle and they then returned
to this city.
None of the young ladies were
in jured but they suffered considera bly,
from the shock occasioned by the
accident.

BLEW OPEN A SAFE,
Daring Crime Committed by Burglars
at Lambs Hotel at Camp Lake
Friday Night.
HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN.
Men Carried the safe, Weighing Several
hundred Pounds. Out of the once of
the Hotel to Blow It open.

One Of the most daring crimes ever
committed in Kenosha county was
committed at Camp Lake on last Fri
day evening or Saturday morning,
when unknown parties brole into
Lambs hotel and rolled safe weigh
ing several tons out into the yard and
proceeded to blow it open with a charge
of dynamite. After they had robbed
the safe they locked it again and went
to the stables near the house and took
horse and buggy and started towards
Kenosha. The daring crime is shrouded
in mystery.
The hotel is operated by B. E. Lamb,
and was filed with Chicago guests
when the robbery occurred. Nearly
fifty people we're stopping in the hotel
but none of them heard any of the
noise occasioned by the moving of the
safe from the office to the yard and the
robbery was not discovered until Sat
urday morning when the proprietor
went for the safe and found it IN the
yard. At the time the safe was found
if was locked and the combination had
been thrown out. However it appeared
that the safe had been opened. The
men had bored several holes in the
safe, and when it was rolled across the
lawn after the proprietor found it, it
was found that the cash drawer had
been broken as loose coins could be
heard rolling about inside the safe.
All efforts to open the safe have so
far been of no avail, and on this ac-
count Mr.. Lamb, who was in the city
today, was unable to say how much
the robbers may have taken. He
stated that there was quite a little
money in the safe, but he did not
know as to the exact amount. After
the safe had been opened the robbers
went to the stables at the back of the
hotel and took the best horse in the
barn together with a'new buggy, and
started toward Kenosha.
AS soon as the crime was discovered
Mr. Lamb hurried to report the affair
to the police of this city, and a search
was started Saturday afternoon which
resulted in the finding of the horse and
| buggy on Sunday. The horse had
| been driven toward kenosha, and
when a short distance from the city
the men had evidently deserted the rig
and turned the horse out into pasture
near the road. The buggy had been
dumped in the ditch near the road, and
had been picked up and taken far
from the scene by some people living
in Pleasant Prairie. After an all day
search the buggy was found and
brought back to Kenosha.
The police have no clue by hlch
they hope to effect the arrest of the
criminals, but it is supposed that the
work was that of the band of burglars
who have been working in the smaller
towns of the county for the past few
months. Every effort will be made, to
capture the men, and if they are
caught it will go hard with them.

IT'S NOW CADET HoLDERNEss
Kenosha Bov Appointed to WEST Point by
Senator Quarles Passes Examinations.

Roy Ho1derness, g son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Ho1derness, is now full
fedged cadet in the National Military
academy at West Point, as a telegram
was received from the young man last
night stating that he had successfully
passed the entrance examinations and
that his name had been enrolled among
the list of candidates for the United
States army. The Kenosha boy has
been at West Point for the past week
and has been drilling since he reached
the academy. His letters home show
that he is IN love With his work, and
now that he has passed the examina-
tons he will remain for at least
another year.
This is the first time that Kenosha
has had a representative at West Point
in man. years, and Roy will undoubt-
eddy give good account of himself.
v Holderness was appointed by Senator
Quar1es short time ago under the
provisions of the law recently passed
to increase the number of cadets al
West Point. He is not appointed from
this district but from the state at large

WANTS $500 AN ACRE.
Mrs. Avery Demands ST 200 for Site for
the Proposed Iron and Steel Foundry.

MIS- avery O6uduuS y aZUU 1OT 0IGS 1OE
the Proposed Iron and Steel Foundry.
President A. E. Buckmaster, of the
Kenosha Business Mems association,
received a telegram this morning from
Mrs. Avery, the owner of the parcel of
land on which it was proposed to locate
the new steel and iron foundry, stating
that she would sell the three acres to
the association at the rate of $400 an
acre. This is considered as an u1ti-
matum SO far as the Avery land is con-
cerned, and it is doubtful if the
associs ton will agree to pay this much
money for the site.
AT the last meeting of the associa-
ton the committee was empowered to
offer Mrs. Avery $1,000 for the land.
The men interested in the plant were
in Kenosha this afternoon, and ar
effort is being made to come to some
compromise in regard to the matter.
It is barely possible that the proposed
company will be willing to stand part
of the expense in connection with the
securing of the site.
1t seems to be fore-gone conclusion
that the factory will be located some
where in Kenosha.

HAD A JOLLY TIME.
Four O.. ago Men Take Charge of Main
Street and Break Show Cases


There are three Chicago men in Jail
this morning and one more who was a
member of the quartette is being
searched for by the police. The men
were all supposed to be employed by
the Chicago and Milwaukee Telegraph
company which is stretching a line
south of the city and they had been
stopping at the Commercial Hotel:
Monday night they went out to see the
sights of the city and in order to see
them better they proceeded to fill up on
beer and whiskey. 1t was bad mix
ture and put the fellows in a smashing
mood. Some time during the night
they came along by the show case
owned by Brown & Schroeder on Main
street and one of them went crashing
through the glass. About this time
officer Joe Orth happened along and
three of the men were landed in jail.
The fourth evidently escaped and went
to search for help to get the men out.
When he didn't find any help he went
to the Balm lumber yards and securing
a large oak beam returned to the jail
and made an effort to release his
friends and companions by prying the
bars part. This failed to avail and it
is sup. osed that the fellow finally gave
up an1 returned to the Commercial
Hotel.
This morning the police Office had
been opened but a few minutes when
the proprietor of the hotel appeared
and said that the cash drawer had
been robbed of some So and that one of
the guests Of the hotel was suspected
of the crime. It proved to be the same
man who had attempted to 1iberate his
companions from the Jail. 1t seems
that TIE man has left the city and all
trace Of the officers to locate him have
been without avail. At the time the
cash drawer was robbed there was no
one IN the hotel but the man suspected
and colored man who acts as porter
about the hotel. The robbery has been
traced to the missing telegraph worker.
In the cash drawer had been left a
Scent piece, and it was in the same
apartment as a number of 10-cent
pieces. A short time after the robbery
had occurred the man suspected of the
crime paid one of the men about the
hotel 40 cents and among the coins was
found the missing Scent piece.
The three men arrested gave their
names as Harry Vomkirk, H. Clifford,
and George Roe. Each paid a fine of
81 and costs.

DEPARTMENT STORE CLOSED.
Financial Difficulties Force Main Street
Dealer to Close His Doors.


The Kenosha Department Store, in
Mrs. Reeds Main street building,
closed its doors this morning, and on
the door has been posted a sign read
ing, "C1osed at the order of creditors. =
A call was made at the store by a
representative of this paper this morn
ing but no facts in regard to the clos
ing of the store could be discovered.
The proprietor, H. Feiges, was out of
the city and the men in charge of the
stock knew nothing of the financial
difficulties that had brought about the
closing of the doors this morning. It
is understood that arrangements will
be made to reopen the store and sell off
enough goods to pay off all claims in
full, The stser is now in charge of A.
M. Rather, of Chicago, who will have
charge of the sale of the goods. AS
soon as the debts are paid the stock
will be turned over to the owner.
Mr.. Rather represents the maj ority
of the creditors. It is stated that the
store has stock enough to pay its debts
three times over, but the business has
been a little slow and collections have
come hard, thus forcing it into tenn
porary straits.

MISS heuT1g SErom ana Jonn hellDerg ARE
United in Marriage Sunday Evening.
Quite an event in Swedish circles IN
Kenosha was the marriage of John
Rellberg and Miss Hedrig Strom,
which was so1emized at the Swedish
Lutheran church on Sunday evening
at $50 O'Clock. The church had been
pretti1y decorated for the occasion and
the chancel was Respondent with cut
flowers and potted plants while festoons
of asparagus ferns we're hung from the
chandeliers. The wedding march was
played by Miss Mia Petersen and the
church was crowded when the cere-
mony was performed according to the
Swedish rites by Rev. G. x. Stark
pastor of the church.
The bride was attired in a becoming
gown of white silk, and carried large
bouquet of carnations. The groom
wore the conventional black. They
were unattended.
After the wedding a number of the
friends of the contracting parties re-
turned with them to their new home on
Third street, where an informal re-
ception was held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hellberg start on the
voyage of married life with the best
wishes of many friends.

TRUSTEES WILL RESIGN.
Trouble over the Spear Estate Is Settled

Trouble over the Spear Estate Is Settled
by Agreement of Interested Parties.
The trouble over the settlement of
the estate of the late Hugh Spear, of
Chicago, in which a number of Keno
sha people were interested, was annie
ably settled on last Saturday afternoon
at a conference of the interested
parties in this city. According to the
terms Of the settlement it is stated that
Or1a M. Ca1kins, of this city, and NJ.
Frankentha1, of Chicago, who have
been the trustees of the estate, will
retire and make room for the appoint
ment of three new trustees. The
demand of the heirs to have the ac-
counts of the trustees for salary
reduced will be withdrawn and the
trustees will receive all that has been
claimed for them for their services.
The evidence introduced in the case,
went to show that Messrs. Ca1kins and
Franken thai had been very modest in
their charges and all their accounts.

tue in the management of the estate
and offered to present their resignation
to the heirs at once. A new set of
trustees will probably be appointed to
manage the estate next Wednesday.
