Electric Railway Will Await the De-
cision of the Council on the
West Main Street Line.
THEY HAVE HOPES OF SUCCESS
Company Will Again ASK the Council to
Modify the Route for The Road
From South Street Westward.

| All the men at work on the Kenosha
Electric Railway company's tracks
were laid off at noon today pending
the decision of the Council in regard
| to desired change of route. Up to
the present time the company have
not renewed their request for the use
of West Main street for their tracks,
but they seem to have some hope that
the Council will grant the desired boon
at their meeting this evening. All
work is stopped until the change is.
granted or until the Council shall have
again turned the company down in
decisive manner. The Superintendent
has little to say in regard to the stop
ping of the work, but it is evident that
the company have concluded that the
tracks must GO on West Main street in
order to make the road the paying
proposition that it has been supposed
to be. The railway men all seem to
expect that the Council will take some
action in the matter. this evening.
Several Of the Aldermen were seen to-
day and they stated that SO far as they
knew no action was being planned,
but that it was possible that new
schemes had been made whereby the
change would be granted for the COM
panY. The Aldermen seem to have
changed front on the Electric Railway
question and the change of route is
hanging very much in the balance.
In the meantime it is reported that
the line will be arranged so as to con-
meet with the line leading from the
city to Pleasant Prairie. It is stated
that the Kenosha company will have
the management of the new road to
the West and that the work of Messrs.
Haynes and C1ausen in connection
with the road will be finished as soon
as the consent Of a few property own
ers has been secured. The surveyors
for the new road started to work on
| last Monday morning and there is no
reason Why any delay should be expe-
rienced in completing the road as far
as Truesdel1 station. It is also planned
to continue the road as far as the Lam
ger tavern during the present summer.
One of the officials of the Kenosha
company was approached on the mat
ter today, but he said that he had no
/ statement to make at the present.

''The laws enacted by the Legisla-

WARRANT FOR DOWNS.
George H. Downs. Former Kenoshan,
Charged With stealing Kupfer Team.

Justice G.. B. McCarron Tuesday
evening issued warrant for the ar
rest of George H. Downs, a former
resident of Kenosha, charging him
with stealing a team of horses from
Fl. A. Kupfer Oh the morning of May
18th. The officers and Mr.. Kupfer
have been at work on the case for sew
eral days and they seem to think that
evidence has been secured which will
warrant the arrest of the former Ke-
noshan. 1t is supposed that Downs is
now in the neighborhood of Harvard,
ILL.,, and Sheriff Whitcher and Chief OF
Police Newhouse went to Harvard to-
day to make an effort to capture him.
1t is thought possible that Downs is
at the head of gang of horse thieves
that have been operating in Northern
Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. At
Belvidere team was stolen and the
same tactics were employed as used by
the man who stole the Kupfer team.
DowHs is said to be a very clever
rascal. He was formerly member of
good family in Kenosha and had
been employed for several years at the
shops of the Balm Wagon Works. He
is said to have left Kenosha hurriedly
many years ago and it is claimed that
a warrant for his arrest is still on rec
ord in some of the old dockets. Since
he left Kenosha he had never been
seen in these parts until the day when
the horses of Mr.. Kupfer disappeared.
The officers have little hope of captur-
| ing Downs, but it is thought possible
that some of the companions of the
man may be discovered and placed
under arrest.
Horse and Buggy Recovered.
This afternoon it is announced at
the police headquarters that one of the
horses and the buggy stolen from Mr..
Kupfer has been recovered at Naper-
Vile, Ill. The horse and buggy
reached Naperville on Friday and was
later sold there. When an examina-
ton of the buggy was made Kenosha
paper was found in the buggy which
| led the officials to wire Kenosha
officials in regard to the find. There
is no boubt but that the property held
at Napervi11e is Mr.. Kupfer's and he
will probably claim it this evening or
| tomorrow.
While it is probable that the buggy
and horse are safe, no trace of Downs
has been found. Though he ta11ies
with the description of the man selling
the rig it is stated that the fellow left
Napperville Tuesday, and later stole a
team and vehicle from Downing Grove.
It is claimed that the man has stolen
eight horses within the last three
weeks. @

FIseIna on to Old Mexico.

A special dispatch in the Chronicle from Phoenix says: With record of fourteen marriages, with no interven- ing deaths or divorce proceedings on the part of his numerous wives, Julio Castellanos is hurrying to get out of the United States and escape into Mex ico. Castelianos was arrested in the Ajo mine district yesterday and was being taken to Gila Bend. En route to jail at Tucson this afternoon he made his escape and fled southward.
 Castellanos is but 45 years old. His first marriage occurred when he was 26. He lived with this wife year and abandoned her at Fl Paso. Since then he has worked at various places in Ari- zona and New Mexico, and whenever convenient has married and abandoned the wife whenever he had occasion to leave.
 He boasts that he has five wives in Mexico, and nine in Arizona and New Mexico. The last wife YVES Francisco Merceda, handsome senorita from No- gales, whom he married less then a year ago, and left month ago. Off cers and brothers of the girl are in close pursuit of Castellanos.
