$500 FOR A FORTUNE !.
Green Goods PeddIers Make a Scoop
Down on Business Men Of the
City Today.
GREAT INDUCEMENTS SHOWN

Many Business Men of the City Receive
'sGreen Goods Letters From New York
Parties Offering Counterfeit Money at
Reasonable Ratss-Governmen officials
We're on the Scheme and All Letters
Were Returned to Washington.
Five hundred dollars for fortune.
| This was the proposition presented to
a score of well known business men
when they opened their mail this morn
ing. A whole package of letters bear
ing the marks of a furniture firm IN
Pennsylvania arrived at the local post
office this morning and ali of them
proved to be ''green goods" letters.
One of the letters was seen by a
representative of this paper and the
offer which was presented by the ''con''
men was indeed a hattering induce
1nent to ali to invest in the goods.
The letters we're supposed to come
from New York, but Of course no ad-
dress or names were given and the
supposed sucker was ordered to use the
telegraph freely if he desired to do any
business with the makers OF the queer.
The letter was purported to! have been
sent out by clerk who had been en-
p1oyed in the engraving department OF
the United States government for a
period of twenty-five years. During
this time he states that he has made
several dies and from these he has
printed any amount of spurious coin
which defies detection. Of course the
man is not giving away the secret for
nothing, but he states that If the re-
cipient of the letter desires to get into
the game he will insure him a. life in
wealth and happiness for the rest OF
his life with the small investment OF
$500. 1t is hardly thought thatany one
in this city will invest. t~
The government officials are evident
1y in the little game also, but in. very
different manner, and unless the men
are exceedingly smooth the letters
sent to this city will probably result in
their coming to grief. All the letters
received had been spotted by the gov
eminent inspectors and on the corner
of the envelopes was written atrequest
that the addresee at once return the
letters to Washington in order that
they might be used in the capture of
the men who are attempting to defraud
the government in this manner:
This is the first time that the S'green
goods men have attempted to work in
Kenosha for many years and it seems
strange that the men should have
picked out so many influential bust
ness men to act as their easy marks.
Of course there may be one gu11ible
sucker in the list and if such is the
case this one will more than make ex-
penses Of their Kenosha venture

Mrs. Turbush was one of the best
known early settlers of Racine county,

Racine as well as in Kenosha. She
was an English lady by birth, but at
the age of sixteen years she came with
her parents to this country and settled

ing child of Mrs. Turbush, and she has
the sympathy of the entire community
in the loss of her mother.
The funeral will be held from the

CAUGHT A sHoP-LIPTER.
Chief Hare Arrests Mrs. Sarah Roberts
on charxe of Stealing Valuable Goods

Shortly after two O'Clock this after
noon Chief of Police O'Hare arrested
Mrs. Sarah Roberts on a charge of
shoplifting. 1t is thought that the
arrest will prove to be one worthy of
note, as it is alleged that the woman
an old offender. It is not known where
she resides. She came to Kenosha
shortly before noon and went to the
store of Barden & McArdle, and while
some of the clerks were engaged she
managed to get away from the store
with two pieces of velvet valued at
about thireeen dollars, This was safely
slowed and then the woman went to
the store of William Fisher and made
descent upon the silk department.
She managed to secure abont twenty
FIVE yards of fine black silk which she
hid away in the capacious folds of her
wrap, which seemed to have been made
for this purpose. A few minutes later
the loss was discovered and the police
notified.
The woman was at once suspected
and Chief O'Hare started out to find
her. His hunt was successful and he
managed to capture the woman just as
she was getting ready to take an cleo
trio car to Racine. She was returned
to the police station and gave her name
as Mrs. Sarah Roberts. AS to her
home and family she refused to tell
anything, but it is thought that she is
a resident of Racine. She declared
that this was the first time she had
ever been arrested and at the police
station she broke down and cried like
baby.
An inventory of the stuff taken
shows that the woman had worked her
little game with great profit as the
amount taken from the two stores is
valued at over fifty dollars. She also
visited other stores but it is not
thought that she managed to secure
any other plumber.
The hearing of the case will be held
late this afternoon.

ROBBED THE POsToFFIGE.
Burglars Blow open Uncle Sans Safe at
Waukegan and Get $50.

The trail of burg1aries between Chi
cago and Milwaukee is not as yet
ended, and it is now reported that
Waukegan is the favorite hang-out of
the light fingered gentry. ac-o
Last evening the place was run over
by burglars, and a daring crime is re-
ported to have taken place at the post
Office. The men broke into the build
ing and blew open the large safe!
Luckily the contents of the safe had
largely been deposited during the day,
and it is thought that the entire booty
secured was not more than sixty dol
lars. The job was evidently the work
of expert safe blowers, as they left no
clue behind which would assist the
officers in fixing the crime. The police
of this city should keep close lookout
for any suspected persons, and see that
they are properly cared for IS soon as
they arrive in the city.

TEARS AND SORROW.
Mrs. Sarah Roberts Accused of shop-litt-
Ing weeps in Court This Morning

Mrs, Sarah Roberts Accused of Shop-litt-
ing weeps in Court This Morning
Mis-. Sarah Roberts who was arrest
ed yesterday afternoon by Chief of
Police O'Hare, had a hearing this
morning before Justice Slater and the
case against her was continued. The
woman created quite 4 scene in the
court as she sat at the prisoners dock
sobbing as if her heart would break.
She said that she had never been ar
rested before, but the police seem to
have reason to believe that she is d
notorious crook. When she was appre-
hended yesterday afternoon it was
thought that she had only robbed but
two merchants, but further investiga-
ton shows that her haul was a more
profitable one. When she was searched
the officers found in her pockets a
book and a sterling silver paper knife
which had been taken from the store
of Miss O'Brien. They also found
a second insta11ment of cloth and
a bolt of ribbon which was identified
as property taken from the store of
William Fisher. The woman also pre-
sented complete outfit for the use of
the accomplished shop1ifter. Her large
| pockets would hold almost anything
from a diamond ring to a threshing
machine. She still positively refuses
to make public her real name or any
thing in regard to her home or family.
The sobs and signs of the woman have
created considerable sympathy for her
among the hangers on at the police
station and the further developments
in the case will be watched with in

DIXON rs A BACK NUMBER.
Terry DIcGovern Is Now Featherweight
Champion of the World.


Champion of the World,
New York, Jan 1O.-Terry Mccoy
ern last night wrested the feather
weight championship of the world
from George Dixon, who had defended
it for nearly nine years. To save Dixon
from a knockout Tom O'Rourke, his
manager, threw up the sponge in the
eighth round when the negro was
staggering helplessly, bleeding and
weak, but as game as the dying gladi-
ator. The fight took place before a
crowd that packed the Broadway
Athletic club, and the victory decided
the ownership of a $4,000 purse. Dixon
from the first tap of the gong was on
the aggressive, using a left swing in
variahly as his lead, which Mccoy
ern cleyeriy stepped inside of, and then
sent both hands in rapid order to Dix
on's lower works.
In the eighth and decisive round
Dixon tried his usual opening with left
swing, but Terry was inside, sending

TAKEN TO ST. LOUIS.
Remains of Sister Augusta Taken to Their
Last Resting Place in St. Louis


AS soon as the coroner's jury com
p1eted it's work yesterday I'M regard
to the death of Sister Augusta prepare
tions were made to take the remains to
St. Louis for burial.
The remains were shipped on the
8:13 train last evening and will reach
the home. of the sister of the decea sed
this afternoon. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow afternoon and
the remains will be laid to rest in the
family plat in one of the St. Louis
cemeteries.
No services were held at the Hall at
the time of removing the remains, but
at the vesper service the sad death of
the Sister was the theme of the devo-
TONS None of the people from this
city accompanied the remains, to St.
Louis, but Undertaken Hansen went as
far as Chicago.
This is the last chapter in the history
of the strange story and it is to be
hoped that the morbid curiosity of the
people will allow the matter to drop
and not seek to inquire deeper into the
mystery which is hidden in the breast
of the dead Sister. Her memory will
always be revered in Kenosha for her
noble and se1f-sacrifcing work among
the poor and in the future Sister Au-
gusta will be known as one of the most
devoted women who ever came to this
city to make her home.

Dixon to the ropes where George
slipped to the floor. Terry helped Dix
ON to his feet amid the cheers Of the
crowd and Dixon backed into Terry's
corner, where he went down again
Terry was ready for him, and under
body blows the champion went down
again. Dixon was up in five seconds
and staggered to the center of the
ring. Terry went after him relentless
Ey, planting left and right hooks on the
jaw and George dropped to the floor.
Dixon took the full count, getting up
on the tenth second. Terry was ready
for him and under body blows the
champion went down again to take the
count once more. 1t looked hopeless
for Dixon, but he was game to the core
and got up to face certain defeat.
Thus it went until Dixon was down for
the eighth time, and stayed there nine
seconds when O'Rourke threw up the
