Letsar From the Philippines.

Joseph Meyers, of Pleasant Prairie,
has received a letter from Wallace
Smith, Kenosha boy who is fighting
with the soldiers in the Philippines,
and from the statements of the letter
it is evident that the Kenosha boys are
taking an active and honorable part in
the fighting in our new possessions.
Smith has been in the service for
about a year and is member of Com
.pany D of the 47th volunteer infantry.
He reports that he has been under fire
several times and a short time ago he
returned from battle with his clothing
pierced with several bullets fired by
the rowing bands of Philippines. The
officer in charge of the company in
which Smith is serving recognized the
service he had rendered by presenting
him with new suit of clothes.
Smith says nothing of the Kenosha
boys returning home and seems to be
satisfied to remain in the service of
the government as long as his aid is
needed

SLAYER Of Charles Mcdonald Reported
Slain While Aiding the Beers

SLAYER Of Charles Mcdonald Reported
Slain While Aiding the Beers
A travelling man who was in Keno
sha Tuesday announced that Count
Won Beidenfe1d who is remembered in
Kenosha as the slayer of Chas Nc
Donald former Kenosha boy, had
been killed in South Africa while
fighting with The Beers against the
British. The information of the death
of the German Count comes from good
sources as it is stated that while his
Royal Highness lived in America he
was travelling man with the same
firm as the gentleman who gave out
the report of his death.
The death of Won Beidenfe1d recalls
the murder of Charley Mcdonald which
occurred about a year ago. The two
men had been bitter enemies for some
time and meeting in a saloon Won
Beidenfe1t drew his revolver and shot
the Kenosha man. Mcdonald was very
popular in Kenosha and Chicago and
had served on the police force of Cbica-
go for some time.
The German Count was arrested for
the crime and acquitted, A short time
later he djsar peared from Chicago,
and 40 trace could be found of him for
some time. Less than a month go a
report was received in Chicago stat
ing that the Count had gone to South
Africa, and had entered with the
Boers against the English, and now
comes the report of his being killed in
an enga cement.
Won Beidenfe!d was known III Keno
sha, as he had been in the city several
times representing the firm for which
he Travelled.

Judge Fish Makes ar Important Bill
ing in the Anna NJ. Rogers Case
at EIkhorn Tuesday.
JUDGMENT HAS NOT BEEN MADE
The Judge Refused to Grant a STAY of
Execution on the Grounds That the
Judgment is Defective.

At the term of the Circuit Court held
at Elkhorn Tuesday, Judge Fish made
a ruling of great Importance to the
City of Kenosha, when he ruled that
it was not necessary for the city to
seek a stay of proceedings in the case
of Anna NJ. Rogers VS.. the City of
Kenosha in order to appeal the case to
the Supreme Court.
The case was brought up by Attor-
ney L. G. Bohmrich, who was deputiz-
ed by ]. Z. Slater for this purpose. In
making the ruling Judge Fish lays
down new proposition for the legal
world. He holds that the Judgment in
the case granting Mrs. Rogers damages
to the extent of $3.50. has been pre-
mature1y entered on the books of the
Clerk of the Court and that at present
no Judgment has been rendered against
the city.
The case presents a legal tang1e.
The verdict which was handed to the
court Oy the jury was an advisory one,
providing that ''if the court found that
Mrs. Rogers was entitled to damages
the amount be placed at the sum named,
81, 750''.
According to the ruling of the judge,
he holds that he has not as yet decided
that Mrs. Rogers is entitled to any
damages from the city of Kenosha,
and until such verdict is rendered by
the court there is no reason why the
| judgment should be entered by the
Clerk of the Court. The case is to be
taken to the Supreme Court and there
is little doubt after the ruling of the
judge but that the attorneys of the
city will have all the time desired to
complete their appeal, as the law al
lows them sixty days after the judg-
ment is entered to make the appeal.
Asyet the judge has not set any time
for hearing the arguments for and
against the granting of the judgment.
There is little doubt but that the
case will reach the Supreme Court,
bit it will be some time before the
processes of the law can be carried
out.

WANTS HIS FEES.
Constable Nick Gloss Wants the Mayor to
Pay Him For Making Arrests.

a Pay Him For Making Arrests.
Quite peculiar fight is threatened
by constable Nicholas Gloss of the
fourth ward against Mayor German.
On Decoration day Gloss was out
nearly ali day and as a result of his
1abors he rounded up eight crooks and
landed them IL the county Jail. He
claims that he had some evidence
against all of them and that two Of
them were wanted on offenses against
the state laws. On the morning after
Decoration day Mayor Gorman exer-
cised his executive right and released
all the prisoners and sent them ont of
town. Gloss now states that he must
have some pay for his work and that
if the cases had been allowed to go on
the men would have been convicted
and he would have received pay fog
the arrests. He has demanded some
remuneration from the city and states
that if necessary he will carry the case
to the courts. The point raised by
Gloss is rather an interesting one and
the outcome of his contest with the
Mayor will be watched with interest
by the other officers. IN regard to the
two men arrested under provisions of
the state law, the District Attorney
states that Gloss has no claim against
the Mayor, as the prosecuting witness
refused to appear against the men and
they were released by the orders of the
District Attorney.
