BURGLARY
Unknown Men Loot the Home of
Harding Grow While Ten 0CCu-
pants Are Asleep in House.
SECURE MUCH VALUABLE BOOTY

Men Enter the House Through the BASE
ment and Loot All the Rooms in the
House-The Burglary Was Discovered
This Morning and the Men who Com
miGted the Crime We're Traced to Rail-
way-Thought to Have Been From Here
One of the most peculiar burg1aries
ever committed in this county was
committed last evening at the home of
Harding Crow in the town of Pleasant
Prairie, and the most peculiar fact in
connection with the crime was the fact
that while the two men were rummag
ing the house ten residents of the
house were asleep in the different
rooms. Not one of the number was
awakened from their s1umber and the
robbery was not discovered until this
morning. The men made their way
into the house through the basement,
going in by way of a door that had
been left open. They made thorough
search of the down stairs rooms and
then continued the hunt in the sleep
ing rooms on the second floor. AS far
as can be ascertained for all their
trouble they managed to secure two
watches, two pocket books containing
about five dollars each, a black over
coat, pair of shoes and number of
minor articles which were not worthy
of mention.
AS soon as the robbery was discov-
cred an effort was made to find some
trace of the burglars and it was seen
by the tracks in the snow that they
had come toward Kenosha. The trail
was followed as far as the railway
track, where it was lost entirely. The
! case was reported to the police this
morning and they are at work to find
the cu1prits.
1t seems that it was the work of
Kenosha crooks and the police hope to
| locate them in the near future. The
people of the city will, however, be glad
to learn that they have transferred
their base of operations from the city
to the country.
Reports from the country state that
in the past few days the country
houses have been bothered with an in
f1ux of tramps and not a few of them
have made some of the barns a place
of rest and amusement. The farmers
have not in any way encouraged this
coming of the tramps and some efforts
have been made to run the fellows out
of the country.
However, the burglary committed
last evening was so neatly done that
the people seem to think it was not the
work of tramps but that the men had
had experience in the burglary business
before.

Two or three people from Paris Cor

The soul is safe in heaven.

SOME BIRTH STATISTICS.
Register Torrev Shows That the Popula-
tion is Rapidly Increasing.

Register of Deeds Torrey also has
the pleasant duty of keeping tab on
the births and deaths in the city and
county, and from this record some
very interesting facts are to be
CLEANED.
While the records for the first month
of the year are as yet incomplete, they
show that the population of the city is
rapidly increasing. 1t isn't caused by
a boom or anything of the sort, but it
is simply the expected turn of affairs.
The record of births during the month
shows that there has been sixty-nine
additions to the population, and of the
first twenty which have beer entered
on the books of the county, but five
have been of the male sex.
AS to deaths during the month the
records show only twenty, leaving a
net gain in population of forty-nine
people. An interesting fact in con-
nection with the records of births is
the fact that during the past few years
there has been no record of the birth
of a co1ored person in the city OF
county

COURT HOUSE AGAIN
County Board at Its Adjourned Meeting
Takes Another Hit at the Much
Discussed Subject.
WILL NOT BE RENTED AGAIN.

All the Members of the County Board are
in Favor of the Transfer of the County
Offices and it is Probable That Spec
ial Meeting viii be Called to Take
Action in the Matter.-Comm1ttee Gets
Paid for Making Plans Not Accepted.
At the special meeting of the county
board Tuesday afternoon they took up
the old subject of repairing the Keno
sha county court house, and from the
reports of TIE meeting it is evident
that the county board are all in favor
of some early action to provide better
facilities for the transaction of the
business of the county officials. No
direct action was taken but it was the
opinion of all the supervisors that the
building should not be rented for an
other year to the present encumbents,
the College of Commerce.
For so many years the court house
of Kenosha county and the building
in which the county officers are stu
ated have been a disgrace to the county
and many of the supervisors are
anxious to wipe out this shame by dis
posing of the old building and erecting
one that will be a credit to the county.
This plan is not endorsed by the city
members alone, but Senator Reynolds
is one of the strongest supporters Of
the scheme. He said a short time ago
that he was in favor of making an
effort to sell the old court house to the
city for city building and that the
county would be willing to dispose OF
the building for $4,000. This would
be a good scheme for both city and
county. The old building cost the
county over $4,000 and it would be
perfectly fitted for the use of the
city.
However, since the city has shown
no desire to enter into any deal with
the county, other plans are being made
for the repair of the building in order
to make it possible to move the county
offices.
The plan which will probably be
adopted will provide for the removal
of the Offices and for an addition to
the court house in such a manner as to
make it possible to build vaults to
accommodate the various county Off
Gals.
The plans for this repair have been
drawn by Mr.. Dickhaut, and they pro
vide for an expenditure of about $4,000.
The urgent need of a change in the
county offices will probably result III a
special meeting of the board being
called to take up the matter.
The board yesterday had very in
teresting session, and took UP the
question of allowing the bills of the
members of the committees who in
vestigated the Brighton road, and who
have been tinkering with the plans for
the court house. The former commit
tee had no trouble getting their money
but Supervisor Dewey made a good,
strong fight against allowing any fees
to the committee on the court house,
on the grounds that their labor had
not been of any value to the county.
However, the bills of both commit
tees were allowed and ordered paid.
