The trial of Charles w. Lutes, who
is charged with the murder Of johnson
Hammond on or about Sunday. May
IS, is now being heard in the Circuit
Court OF Marshall county before Spe-
cial Judge C. A. Showacre. 1t will be
remembered that Hammond left his
home in Franklin district on the 18th
of May and came to Moundsville to
transact some business. He remained
over night, and on the morning of the
18th was seen going to Lutes' house
After that nothing was known of him
until his body, with a bullet hole in
the head, was found floating in the
Ohio river about twenty-five miles be-
low Moundsville five days after he dis
appeared.
After an investigation of the case
LuteS was arrested at the instance of
a son of the murdered man. and after
"a preliminary hearing before Squire
Pierce was committed to Jail to await
the action of the Circuit. Court.
The prisoner, Lutes, was brought
TITO court yesterday afternoon. He
was dressed in a gray suit and wore a
bouquet. He appears to be in good
spirits and spent part OF his time
playing with his little son. His wife
and son, two sisters, two brothers and
other relatives sat near him.
Lutes' attorneys, Hooten & Hooten
filed an affidavit and asked that the
case be continued until an unknown
xxrifp In
which was by the prisoner, stated that
On the morning of May 10 an old gen.
tleman with whom he had worked on
a pipe line came to his house and got
his breakfast and remained for some
time in the house. He did not name
the man. The defense asked for time
to advertise for the man. The State
objected, saying that the defense had
had plenty of time since the arrest in
which to find the missing tramp. The
motion was overruled and the case
went to trial.
After some difficulty the. following
jury was empaneled: G. w. Rayle,
Harry Dennis, w. S. Kirkman, George
Rogerson, w. A. Dowler, j. N. Dowler,
] G.. Jones, Ed. Carr, J. w. Crow, Jo-
seph Smith, Samuel Chapman and w.
A. Boomer.
After the witnesses had been sworn
and sent from the roam the attorneys
for each side made a statement of the
case ITO the jury and court was then
adjourned until 9 o'clock to-day.
A large number of witnesses are in
attendance and the case will hardly be
concluded today. A large number of
former neighbors of the accused and
OF the murdered man are attending the
trial.

with very serious accident. A large
steel beam. to be used in the new tube

HENRY KING sELK1Ns DEAD
Pioneer Settler and Business Man of
Southport Dies at His Home in Chicago.

Henry King E1kins, an old resident
of Southport and one of the CONNER
cia1 pioneers of Chicago, died Satur-
day night at his home, 1906 Indiana
avenue, Chicago, after lingering ILL
ness of several weeks duration.
Henry King Elkins was born at
Peacham, VT, Nov. 2, 1918. He was
hnea1 descendent of Henry Elkins,
who settled at Boston in 1854, and a
son of Jonathan E1kins the second, the
first settler at Peacham, VT, and
revolutionary soldier The subject of
this sketch was one of the few remain
ing sons of revolutionary soldiers.
Mr.. E1kins was the third son of
Co1ones Jonathan E1kins and Eunice
Sprague Stoddard, who was also a
daughter of a revolutionary and CO.
1onia1 family. Mr.. E1kins spent his
early life in Peacham, and in 1887, at
the age of 10, he went with his parents
to Albion to live. Here he became the
partner of his father in general
store, and also served one year as dep
uty collector on the Erie canal. In
1843 he engaged in business at Lake
Geneva, hauling his stock by wagons
from Kenosha. Two years later he
moved to Kenosha, where he was in
the grain and lumber business for
about ten years. He also served as
United States deputy marshal for Wis
consin, being appointed by President
Fillmore.
Mr.. Elkins went to Chicago in 1855
and formed partnership with Theo-
dore Holbrook, Aaron Beid1er and Jo-
seph P. Merrill. In 1860 the lumber
firm became E1kins & Merrill, Messrs.
Ho1brook and Beid1er retiring, and
four years later this partnership was
dissolved, Mr.. Merrill conducting the
lumber business and Mr.. E1kins re-
tanning the fleet of five vessels with
which he engaged in the shipping bus
mess. The management of these
boats and operations on the Board of
Trade occupied Mr.. E1kins' time until
the great fire, after which he again
engaged in numbering aud other lines
of business.
MI. E1kins was married August 9,
1852, to Hetta M. Swasey, of North
Haverhil1, VT, who survive him, to-
gether with one daughter, Mrs. Edwin
F. Daniels, of 4447 Greenwood avenue,
Chicago.

NETWORK OF TROLLEY LINES
Roads Now Projected in Wisconsin Which
Will Rival City of Cleveland System.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, July 22-There is
an impression abroad in this vicinity
that the plans of Philadelphia capital
lists to build a line from this city to
E1khorn through De1avan and Lake
Geneva summer resort district, is but
a step in the organization of the most
extensive network of electric lines in
southern and eastern Wisconsin that
there is in the world, with the possible
exception of that in the vicinity of
Cleveland, where one syndicate owns
several hundred miles of suburban, in
terurban and city electric roads.
GAINESVILLE is likely to be the center
of the system, outside of Milwaukee,
as three projected roads center here.
One, the Evansville Rockford, Illinois
line, will reach southwark, as if event
ual1y to secure direct connection with
the western metropolis. Another line,
projected westward from Kenosha to
Lake Geneva, will touch the Philade1-
phians' projected route. A third line,
from Kilbourn to Baraboo and Madi-
son, which will be extended to this
city, it is believed, will put the south
ern portion of the State in direct con-
nection with the Wisconsin river val
ley, where a line is soon to be built
from Merrill to Grand Rapids, by way
of Wausau and Stevens Point.
The extension of electric lines, pro-
posed during the past week in the pre-
sentation of applications for franchises
to cities along the Fox River and
Green Bay, forecast the building of an
electric road from Chicago to Mari
nette.
Although the big street railway Off
Gals will, of course, not divu1ge their
plans, there is a firm belief here that
all these projects are fathered by the
same group of capitalists. The sys-
tenn, if this is true, would give Wis
consin a great electric railway. The
network, outside of the city systems
which would doubtless be absorbed,
would mean a series of lines of 300
miles in length inside of two years,
while the Ohio corporation has $40
miles. The cost would be tens of mil
lions, but all the lines now i'll opera
ton are paying good dividends, it is
said, so the scheme will be one of profit
to the investors. Philadelphia, De-
troit and Cincinnati capitalists are in
vo1ved in the various links in the
chain of lines.

Faithful Followers Leave for Home
After a Weeks Fight With the
Heat at Zion City.
DOWIE'S BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
Irving Ward, the Self Proclaimed Prophet
of Zion, Fails to Arrive, But Proves to
be Traitor-Many Lots Unsold.

The Zion encampment, which has
been the chief matter of interest on the
North shore for the last week, closed
this afternoon when the faithful
marched round the grounds led by the
Zion band, singing songs of praise and
incident1y casting longing glance
toward some of the magnificent lots on
Elisha avenue, which have not been
disposed of. The close of the encamp-
ment brings disappointment to Dowie
and the leaders of the Christian Cath
Ollie church. A month ago it looked as
if the meeting would be the greatest
camp meeting ever held in the North
west, but the attendance has been far
below the number expected and at no
time has the attendance exceeded two
thousand until yesterday, when four
thousand people sweltered under the
burning sun while Dowie harangued
The sale of lots has gone merrily on
during the encampment and the mem
bers of the church claim that three
thousand lots have been sold under the
peculiar lease. This is one-ffth of the
encampment DR.. Bowie has announced
that the price of the lots has been
raised. The better lots, as laid out by
the Divine healer, found few purChas-
ers and most of the lots sold are small
lots which were purchased by 1aboring
people. Tonight handkerchief will
be given out to ali the faithful for a
small consideration. These kerchiefs
have been manufactured at Zion and
are blessed by Dowie.
It is thought that the greater part of
the large company who have been in
camp at Zion will leave as soon as the
camp closes, but number have made
arrangements to proceed with the
building of homes in the sacred city.
The greatest disappointment of the
encampment to DR.. Dowie was the
failure of Irving Ward, the seer of the
East, who declared that he had seen a
vision of Elisha the Second and the
yesterday DR.. Dowie adl@itted that
Ward was. a bogus dreamer and that
there was no reason to believe that he
had ever seen a vision or dreamed a
dream. The announcement that the
dreamer Of dreams had offered to get
the secrets of Dowie and sell them to a
Chicago paper for a small consider
alton came as a terrible blow to the
faithful and should the said Irving
Ward arrive on the grounds of Zion
City he will be given the hottest kind
of a reception. AS result of the
dream of Ward, DR.. Dowie is out $500,
as he sent this amount to New York to
defray the expenses of Ward to Zion
City.
AS a fitting finale to the weeks en-
campment Dowie baptized seventy-fve

AFTER A YOUNG THIEF.
Police of Kenosha After a Racine Lad Who
is Claimed to be bad Lot"

The Kenosha police are making an
effort to capture Joseph Heufner,
Racine lad thirteen years of age, who
is wanted in that city on charge of
stealing bicycle and sum of money.
The boy, while yet in his knee pants.
seems to be degenerate of the first
water.
Sometime ago he was accused of
stealing a bicycle in Racine, and he
fled the city but returned day or so
ago. His father managed to keep him
out of jail, and Monday he rewarded
him for his efforts by stealing another
bicycle and So belonging to his father.
The boy left Racine going southwark,
and Monday afternoon was seen on
farm about two miles north of here.
It is thought that he is in hiding
here, and the officers are making every
effort to locate him.

KenOsha Athletics Defeat the NOnpar-

of 10 to z.
TEAM MATCH ON THE GOLF LINKS.
Blues Defeat the Reds by Margin of Eight
Points After Pretty struggle-Hamilton
vose Wins the State Championship.

The Nonparie1s, of Milwaukee, and
the Kenosha Athletics crossed bats at
Grand View park Sunday afternoon
and the game proved to be one of the
easiest victories of the season for the
Kenosha team. At the end of the
game the Milwaukee men were thir-
teen runs behind and their pitcher had
been batted out of the box several
times. The Kenosha boys had their
batting clothes on and the way they
went after the Milwaukee pitcher was
something terrible.
For the first few innings of the
game the contest looked like pretty
one, but after the third inning the Ke-
nosha boys had everything their own
way. The home team played an er-
ror1ess game and benefited by the
twelve errors made by their opponents.

WEEDS OBSCURE TRACKS.
Complaint is Made on Account of the Man

Complaint is Made on Account of the Man
ner Weeds Are Allowed TO Grow.
A loud wall of complaint is heard on
account of the fact that many of the
railway crossings in the different parts
of the county are completely hidden by
the high weeds. One crossing IN
Pleasant Prairie, a few miles from the
city, has become very dangerous audit
is necessary for the Railway company
to do something at once or lives will
be sacrificed. At this particular cross
ing, which is near the home of Thomas
Hunt, the sweet clover plants have
grown to height of FIVE or six feet
and the tracks are completely hidden
from the view of people driving along
the road. The weed commissioners OF
the different towns seem to have over
looked their duties, for all throughout
the towns the weeds and thist1es have
taken possession of the road beds and
unless something is done the county
will be we'll sown in weeds for the next
year or so.

DEATH OF KATE ELKINs PRICE
Former Well Known Kenosha Young Lady
Died Recently at haywood, N. J.

Word was received in this city this
morning announcing the sudden death
of Mrs. Kate Sprague E1kins Price, a
former we'll known young lady of Ke-
nosha which occurred on July 10th at
her home in haywood, New Jersey.
Death resulted from congestion of the
brain, Mrs. Price having been i'll but a
short time before her death. She is
survived by husband and one daugh-
ter. The remains were inferred at
Norway, New Jersey, last week.
The announcement of the death of
Kate E1kins will cause great deal of
sorrow among the middle aged people
of Kenosha, for in the war times few
women in Kenosha were better known
than Kate E1kins. She was dashing
girl who named among her friends the
entire population of Kenosha. Her
death will come as a sad blow to many,
but it will fall especially hard upon
the members of the Grand Army.
Mrs. Price took a great interest IN the
soldiers during the time of the war
and many of them carried with them
into battle tokens which had been
given them by the dashing Kenosha
county girl. Mrs. Price was woman
greatly beloved by all who knew her.
She was a daughter of Sprague Elkins,
one of the pioneer business men of Ke-
nOSha.

CASE rs DISMISSED.
Miss Title Jacobsen Found Not Guilty of
Perjury as Charged by Chris Jensen.

Another chapter in the troubles of
Miss Title Jacobsen and Chris Jensen
was enacted in Justice Henry Roh1-
fing's court in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie Monday afternoon when Miss
Jacobsen appeared before the justice to
answer to the charge of perjury pre-
ferred by Chris Jensen, her former
6ancee.
Miss Jensen was not demanded to
plead to the complaint as it was found
that the warrant was defective and the
District Attorney, who represented the
State in the action, promptly dis
missed the case. 1t is probable that
it will be the last of the Jensen trou-
b1es in the courts, as the parties have
fixed mp an agreement by which Jen-
sen will leave the Jacobsens alone and
they in turn will mot modest the law

WANTS FACTORY SITE.
E. R. Kingsley, of Chicago, Would Locate
Small Factory in Kenosha.

DR.. E. R, Kingsley, of Chicago, was
in Kenosha today seeking a location
for factory in this city. The doctor
is interested in the manufacture of
hollow grip horseshoes, with factory
at present located in Chicago, but he
has decided to move the plant to an
other city, and Kenosha meets his
demands.
DR.. Kingsley is not asking for any
thing from the people of the city, but
if suitable site can be secured the
factory will be moved at once. AT
present the plant is employing some
twenty-five men, and the product has
been established on the market for
many years. Several sites are being
considered by the doctor, but as yet
nothing has been absolutely decided
upon.
