WITH DUE HONOR.
Remains of Sergeant Sherwood Laid tt
Rest in Rose Hill Sunday Morning.
gotten

Sergeant Charles Sherwood, former
ly of this city, who died from yellow
fever in Havana on May LIST, 1900, was
buried with due military honors at
Rose Hill cemetery in Chicago yester-
day morning. The funeral services,
accorded one of the bravcst heroes of
the Splnish-American war, were of
the most simple nature. There was
no pomp or ceremony connected with
the last sad rites over the dead soldier.
The remains were brought to Chica-
80 several days ago and placed in the
vault at Rose Hill and Sunday morn
ing the seventh regiment Of the United
States Volunteer Signal corps, under
the Command of Captain John w. Nc
Cornell, gathered at the home of the
brother Of the deceased soldier and ac
con1panicd by the relatives, went to
the cemetery and removed the remains
from he vault. The casket was
wrapped in the flag and the simple
burial service Of the army was read by
the chaplain of the company. With
these impressive ceremonies the casket
was 1OWGICQ 10 us 1dSC IGSl1uS place.
AS the casket was lowered into the
grave members of the Second Illinois
Volunteer Infantry, of which Sergeant
Sherwood has been formerly a mem
Der, fired a national salute. AS the
company left the scene of the last
resting place of their former comrade
detachment of bug1ers sounded the
taps and he was left to rest in peace in
his native soil.
The relatives of Sergeant Sherwood
made strong effort to have the re-
mains inferred in the Kenosha Gene
terry, but on account of the fact that
the death had resulted from yellow
fever the state authorities refused to
allow the remains to be brought into
the state.
Sergeant Sherwood, who was laid TO
rest in this simple manner, was one of
the most active of the Wisconsin sol
diers in the late war. He enlisted as
private in the recond Illinois signal
corps and did service in both Cuba and
Porto Rico.
Sergeant Sherwood was son of E.
w. Sherwood and is survived by wife
and one child.

FOUND ACCIDENTAL DROWNING
Coroner's Jury Fixes the Cause of the Death
of Langenbach and Klos.

The sad accident which occurred IN
the Kenosha harbor on Saturday after
noon, resulting in the loss of the lives
of Albert Langenbach and Rudolph
K1os, is still topic of conversation in
all circles. The remains we're taken
from the waters of the harbor shortly
after O'Clock Saturday evening and
removed to the Krichbaum morgue.
Coroner Lansdowne at once took
charge of the remains and jury was
summoned to hold an inquest. The
inquest was completed this morning,
the jury returning verdict of acct
dental drowning.
The accident has caused deep sorrow
among the friends of the two victims.
Mr.. and Mrs. K1os, the parents of one
of the victims, are overcome with the
shock of the accident. Mrs. klos had
gone to the docks a short time before
the body of her son had been found
and had returned home feeling certain
that it had not been her son who had
been drowned. When the undertaken
arrived a short time later and told her
of the finding of her sons body she
was overcome and it was necessary to
have doctor with her all the night.
Stories of eye witnesses of The acct
dent go to show that young Langen-
bach died most heroic death. Young
K1os had been warned against going
out in the old boat by his parents, but
he refused to heed the warning stating
that it was safe enough. He had told
his fears to his companion and Ian
genbach had assured him that there
was no danger. When the boat began
to sink it is stated that Langenbach
had started to save himself, but when
he saw his companion sinking he
made efforts to save him and went
down while attempting to aid his
friend. The accident, is far as can
be learned, resulted from the old boat
in which the boys were rowing, filing
with water. The boat still lies in the
harbor. AS the boat has been the
cause of many accidents in the past it
is probable that it will be fshed out
and destroyed.
While the bodies of the two victims
of the accident were at The morgue
Sunday, many people visited the
morgue to take look at the remains.
The remains OF young Langenbach
were left in the rear of the NOR que I'M
til late in the afternoon, but one Of his
friends came and placed magnificent
bouquet of flowers in the hands, show
ing the deep sorrow that was felt
among the friends of the boy.
Among the people about the town
young .Langenbach was we'll known
and he was usually considered weak
minded, but his heroic act in attempt
ing to save his companion at the loss
of his own life will not be soon for

LOOK FOR RACINE MAN.
r. ID Herrick, Missing From Racine, Came

r. ID Herrick, Missing From Racine, Came
to Ko2csha Monday Nighs.
Chief of Police Fred Pfster and
Under-Sheriff Robert Mutter, of Ra-
cine, were in Kenosha this afternoon
seeking for some trace of Fred Her
rick, proprietor of the Wagner hotel,
who disappeared from Racine Monday
afternoon under the most peculiar cir
cumstances.
During the past few weeks it has
been apparent to the friends of Her
rick that he is 1aboring under mental
strain, and it is feared that he has
taken his own life. Yesterday Her
rick remained at the hotel until shortly
after noon, when he gathered up all
his money and papers and placing
them in small grip sack carried it to
his room. In the satche1 he also put a
note for his wife. When he failed to
Fshew up at supper time last night Mrs.
Herrick went to his room where she
found the note and ,satche1. In the
note Herrick stated that when he was
found again he would be in Jail, in
prison, or in the lake.
He was seen to board an electric car
coming to Kenosha late Monday after
noon, and reached this city. A friend
was with him and rode with him from
the terminal station to the business
part of Kenosha, when he left the bus
and no trace of him has been found
since that time.
The Racine officers made complete
search of the city this afternoon and
while several traces of the man were
found none lead to the discovery of his
present whereabouts.
The officers seem to think that Her
rick has committed suicide, probably
by jumping into the lake, but no trace
of any body has been found, and the
Kenosha friends of Herrick seem to
think that it is more probable that the
missing man left Kenosha and went to
Chicago or some other city south Of
here.
The case is most peculiar one and
considerable interest is being taken in
il by Kenosha officers.

BuroIars Enter the Residence of G. R.
Mcdowell on Park Avenue Early
Sunday Evening.
vALUABLEs ARE OVERLOOKED.
burglars Found Silver and Jewslrv But
Took only Purse Containing a Part
of a Coin Collection.

One of the most peculiar robberies
ever committed in Kenosha was com
nitted shortly before eight O'CLOCK
Sunday evening when burglars entered
the residence of Attorney U. X. MIC
Dowe11, on Park avenue, and carried
off a small amount of booty IN the way
of a collection of old coins and pair
of sleeve buttons. A gold watch Sill
verware and iewe1ry valued at nifty
times the value of the coins must nave
been handled by the burglars, but they
refused to take it. On account of the
selection of the burglars there is con-
siderable mystery connected with the
robbery.
The robbery was discovered shortly
after nine O'Clock, when Mr.. Mcdowell
returned from church. The robbers
had pried the front window open with
a Jimmy and in this manner an en-
trance was made to the lower floor or
the house. Once IN the house the men
seemed to have gone from one end to
the other. Drawers were torn out and
overturned. A splendid gold watch be-
longing to Mr.. Mcdowell had been
taken from its case and left laying on
the dresser. Si1verware had been I'M
earthed, but when the lawyer had
counted his loss he found that the total
was the old purse containing the coin
collection. The collection contained a
number of gold coins which could be
placed in circulation, but he main
part of the collection was a lot OF
Roman and Grccian coins which are
worthless, except TO the coin collector
The pair of sleeve buttons taken were
highly valued by Mr.. Mcdowell, but IN
estimating his financial loss he states
that it will not exceed twenty-five dol
lars.
The case was reported at once to the
police. but they were not able to find
any c1ew to the robbers. The daring
entrance 10 the house shows that the
men feared little from detection.
The general impression prevails
that a gang of burglars are working in
Racine and Kenosha and that the work
is being directed by man well versed
in the lore of The two cities. On Sat
urday night burglary occurred in Ra-
cine and it is said that there is reason
to believe that the crime was COM
mitted by the same men who robbed
+he A mer1Cau saloon.

"On Again, Off Again, Plain Mr..
Flanagan" is being played for long
run at several stations on the Mi1wau

with the ticket agent as Mr.. F1ana-

division inspector as manager. The
keenest interest centers about the
Ticket Agent John H. Arps is playing
Mr.. Flanagan in three roles, with cos
tunes and changes for each.
Arrs has to change costumes several
times day and do the different tasks
Eof three men. He is plain Mr.. Flana-
gan when he stands at the window and
answers: "Chicago-next train in
half an hour. Seventy-6ve cents,
please" 1t is ''off again" when the
train pulls out, and he losses his coat
on the top of a cabinet and pulls on
Jumper to do freig htman's duty. To
pull truck filled with freight to the
station two blocks north is the feature
of his second stunt.
AS the through Milwaukee mail goes
uVtug by, ATpS ndkeS MS lu1I Chang z
aud he becomes Flanagan again. Off
goes the Jumper, ard he changes to the
costume of email tike," seizes the
pouches with the speed of "a reformed
messenger boy" and carries them to
the postoffice. Then, with no dropping
OF the curtain, he again takes his stand
at the window and becomes the ticket
agent.
This performance runs from $3.50 a.
m. to 1920 p. m. The show has been
on the boards since March /, when the
Northwestern road cut down it's station
staff at Glencoe, Highland Park and
Lake Forest. It was an act of econ
onay to the road and has proved
school of speed to the men. 1t is
necessary for the men, as the road de-
mands its employees to keep their uni
forms clean and neat, and the diversity
of work now required Of the agents
makes this impossible unless changes
are made.
