rendering Judgment against DR.. j. G.

This verdict accustomed no great

it, An appeal has been taken to the

They state that tho supreme court
has "lrc"ay passed once on the case
and supported their contentious.
Another trial WAS granted in order to
allow tho plaintiff to introduce new

instructed the jury that there could

DIR. Kilgo about Mr.. Gattis were

Thought they were false, but the do

Bill Is introduced by Senator SpoOner
For The Relief of Hans Peter
GuttOrmsOn of Ken0sha.
WAS INJURED LONG YEARS AGO.
Fell From Breakwater at Moline, ILL.,, In
1880 and Since That Time He Has Been
Seeking Redress From Government.

After vEMtsing more than twenty-five
years to present his claim for damages
Hans Peter Guttormson, poor 1aborer
of this city, has managed to interest
Senator John5C. Spooner and the latter
has filed bill III the United States
Senate asking that the United States
treasurer be instructed to appropriate
S., 900 from any funds availa bic for the
relief of the Kenosha man.
The story connected with the claim
is one that has, been told many times
to the friends of Gnttormson in the
last twenty years, but the old man has
never been able to get the ear of the
public and the men who managed the
purse strings of the nation. For more
than sixteen years Guttormson was
employed in the engineering depart
ment of the government and in 1880,
while assisting Tin the building of a
breakwater in 5the Mississippi river
near Moline, ILL.,, the KenOsha man fell
from the breakwater to the ground,
distance of, more than fifty feet.
In the fall he had his left leg broken
in three places. He was sent to a gov
eminent hospital and cared for but he
never regained his strength and all
through his remaining years he has
beer crippled. More than fifteen
years ago the claim was made against
the government, but since that time
Guttormson has worked in vain to
have the facts presented to the differ
ent bodies of the Congress. A short
time ago the helpless man managed to
secure an audience with Senator
Spooner in Milwaukee and the Senator
convinced of the justice of his claim
consented to further the bill to secure
an ppropriation for his relief.
In order to further the bill petition
is being circulated in Kenosha and it
has been signed by many of the lead
ing men of the city.

Tow BARGE of the Hines Lumber
Company Almost Sunk by Floating
Ice off KenOsha Sunday.
THE CREW RESCUED BY C0NsORT
Great Ho1e is Torn in the Side OF the
Barge and She is Left Behind to Drift
in Waterlogged Condition.

The lumber barge A. T. Bliss was
picked up off Zion City early Sunday
morning and was towed into Chi
cago by the steam barge Fletcher.
The drifting barge had been aban-
doned by her consort early the same
morning and had been left behind IN
badly water1ogged condition to be-
come the prey of the waves and ice.
The Inflated barge was the property
of the Edward Hines Lumber COM
pany, of ;Chicago. She had been load
ed with lumber near Green Bay and IN
tow of her consort, the Lucille Worth
ington, had started to make the trip to
Chicago. AS the barge was passing
Kenosha late Saturday night she ran
into a heavy ice cake which tore a
great hole in the barge and IN a few
minutes the barge had become water
logged and had sunk to the surface of
the water. The crew, consisting of
five men, made a great effort to save
the barge, but when it was found to he
impossible the consort was signalled
and after considera bic trouble the
crew were taken on board and the
barge was anchored and left to the
mercy of the sea. The Worthington
steamed to Chicago as soon as possible
and early Sunday morning the tug
Meyers came to Kenosha for the pur-
pose of towing the waterlogged barge
into this city. The crew Of the tug
hurried to the scene of the trouble of
the night before, but when they ar
rived it was found that the barge was
missing. Later it was discovered that
at day break the barge Fletcher bound
for Chicago had picked UP the water
logged boat and managed to land her
safe in the Chicago harbor.
The loss to the company on account
of the accident will be a serious one.
The barge was a new one and the
cargo was a very valuable one. 1t is
feared that the damage to the barge
will be very large and considerable of
the cargo was lost while the barge
drifted at anchor off Zion City.
The escape of the crew from the
waterlogged barge was thrilling one,
but none of the men were injured.
