Daniel Haubrich Stricken With Heart
Disease While COnversing With
His Family.
DEATH CUTS THE WORDS SHORT
Deceased Had Been at Work All Day ana
Was Seized With Heart Dieease Just
Before Retiring for thu Night.

A sudden and tragic death was al
lotted't to Daniel Haubrich last Satur-
day evening, when, while conversing
with the members of his family, the:
spark of life suddenly went out and he
fell forward to the floor a victim OF
heart disease. The death of Haubrich
was SO sudden that it caused quite d
sensation among the residents of the.
Northwest portion of the city.
HaubriCh was 54 years of age and
had been employed at the Allen tan
merry for some time. On Saturday he.
seemed to be in the best of health and
worked during the entire day. When
he came home in the evening he.
seemed tired from his labor, but after
trip down town he returned to his
home and sat down and talked with
his wife and son for over an hour.
About 10 O'Clock Haubrich was talking
about his plans for Sunday and he got
up from his chair as if to take some
thing from the mantel. AS he rose
from the chair he fell forward on his
face and when his wife reached his
side life was already extinct. Mrs.
Haubrich and her son rapidly sum-
moned the neighbors to the home and
DR.. William Pugh was called. He
stated that Haubrich's death had taken.
place some time before and that it re-
suited from heart disease.
The deceased was we'll known in
Somers, having resided there for many
years. He is survived by a wife and
three sons, one of whom was with him
at the time of his death.
The funeral was held from the
German Methodist church on Tuesday
afternoon and the remains were in
tered IN the city cemetery.

The above is a complete record OF
the Water Works Department for the
sixth year of it's control by the city.
1t shows good profit for the city,
although Kenosha has as low water
rates as any city of its size in the
United States.
It is the aim of the Water Commits
sioners to further reduce the water
rates as soon as circumstances will
permit, so that it will be to the advan-
tage of ali consumers to use meters. We
hope to be able to make the rates low
enough so that we can compel all con-
sumers to go on the meter system
without hardship to any one, as we be-
1ieve the only way to sell water and be
just to all is by the meter system.
Respectfully submitted.

PUMPING STATION.

The pumping station has been great
1y improved this year by extensive re-
pairs and additions to the plant. Both
boilers have been reset and thorough
ly overhau1ed, and are now in condi-
ton to last several years longer.
Several new screens have beer
placed in the settling well and the old
ones repaired.
The building has been extended
north to Market street by an addition
21x4O feet. This addition was neces-
sary in order to make room for the
new high duty pumping engine which
we have purchased at cost of SIC, O0O.-
90. The engine is of the vertical,
cross-compound crank and fy-whee1
type and is being built by the Barr
Pumping Engine Company of Phi1a-
de1phia. It will have capacity of
100000 gallons in "a hours, and is
built upon the latest and most i'm
proved practice in pumping machin-
cry.

WAS A SEASON OF LITTLE WORK.
Grew Had Been Called Out But Four Times,
and Two Lives Had Been Saved
Crew 90 Remain Another Year.

At the minute after midnight Sun
day morning the eight men of the Life
Saving crew were mustered out of ser
vice for the season and the Life Saw
ing station was closed. It will remain
closed until late in March when it will
open again for the season of 1902. The
crew of this year which is now mus
tered out consisted of Capt. B. c. Cam
eron, John Mahaney, William Schmor-
row, Frank Hannah, Andrew Buer,
Louis LeG1isco, Fred Cramer and ia
cob Johnson. All the men are resi-
dents of Kenosha and will remain here
during the winter. Nearly, if not all
the men will be retained in the service
at Kenosha when the new season
opens.
In speaking of the season just closed
Csptain Cameron, in charge of the
station, stated that it had been the
du11est year in the history of the Ke-
nasha station. The crew has been
Ike 3t in splendid condition during the
year, but they have had few chances
to display their ability as life savers.
-Four times during the year the crew
was called out to look after small
wrecks and several people were rescued
from the lake, but at no time have the
men been called out on any big wreck,
and the most serious case was that of
a couple of venturesome boys getting
too far from land. During the year
the crew has removed one body from
the waters of the lake.
With the close of the season the dog
watch will be abandoned and none of
the men will report at the station.
However, Capt. Cameron will always
be on hand and will keep a close watch
over the harbor and the surrounding
te4tft6ry. Should occasion arise for
use of the crew the men will be ready
to volunteer for service on moments
notice.
The close of the station practically
marks the close of navigation for this
port but it is probable that few ar
rivals and departures will be noted un-
til the marine insurance runs out two
weeks later.

ON THE ROOF.
Girls Overcome With the Oil of Gladness
Take to Roof to Get High Lights.

Girls Overcome With the Oil of Gladness
Take to Roof to Get High Lights.
Two girls on a roof was the strange
sight that greeted the eyes of Mrs. E..
Grosvenor Sunday evening when she
went to the rear of her property to
discover the cause of some strange
noises which she heard few moments
before the discovery.
The roof in question IS low one and
is used mostly for the purpose of set
ting clothes reel. Shortly after six
O'Clock Mrs. Grosvenor heard a strange
noise on the roof and she started to in
vestigate the matter. She walked
about the building into the alley and
as she approached the rear of the
building she saw two women standing
on the roof. When they noticed that
they were discovered the girls left the
roof in catch as catch can form and
ran rapidly to the westward.
The identity of the women was not
discovered, nor was their motive for
mounting to such high places. 1t is
stated that the two women were badly
under the influence of liquor and it is
supposed that they wandered to the
roof simply because they hadn't
nothing else. to do"

GRACE COFFIN A BANKRUPT
Salem woman of Divorce Fame Files a
Petition in Bankruptcy in Racine.


Mrs. Grace L. Coffin, of Salem,
through her attorney, Wallace Ingalls,,
of Racine, filed petition in bank
ruptcy in the United States court for
the Eastern district of Wisconsin.
The liabilities are stated at $50, $3.50.
There are no assets that are not ex-
empt, except that Mrs. Coffin claims an
interest in Chicago real estate held by
trustees of her late n4othay's estate.
She claims that her mother died two
years ago and had the record title of at
least 81 200, 900 worth of real estate in
Chicago. This property she found,
after the murder of her husband, Amos
]. Smell, had been conveyed to her dur
ing his lifetime.
The property which Mrs. Coffin
claims by reason of these facts,
amounts to half million dollars. 1t is
now held by trustees, under the will of
her mother.
In the bankruptcy proceedings no
doubt a trustee will be appointed and
proceed to bring this property into the
estate, in which case creditors will be
daid and the fortune remain. Aside
from this claim she has nothing, ex-
cept her homestead in Salem, Kenosha
county, consisting of forty acres of
land and household property. When
Amos Smell, the father, died, the
daughter was worth $25O,OOO. Ali of
this is gone. Her heaviest creditors
are the Continental bank, Chicago,
SIS, 900; Henriette Smell estate, $4,000;
A. J. Stone, $4,000.
It is stated that the property of Mrs.
Coffin in this county is not entirely
free of encumbrance, and during the
last week lien was placed on record
against the property. The property
in this county is said to be worth about
ten thousand dollars.

FIGHT ANOTHER DRAW.
Joe Percente and Battling Nelson Fail to
Do Decisive Work at Milwaukee Show.

The company of Ke2osha sports who
journeyed to Milwaukee Monday even
ing to root for Joe Percente in his
match with Battling" Nelson, Of
Chicago, were we'll paid for their
journey and although Percente did not
do better than secure a draw from Mel
son, he put up one of the prettiest
fights ever seen in Wisconsin and the
opinion of the Kenosha sports is that
he should have won the battle.
Percente and Nelson had any amount
of old scores to settle and when they
entered the ring friendship ceased. In
the first round the men were wary and
did some pretty sparring. Percente
received slight scratch on the neck
and fell to the floor on his back in the
nlix-up. In the second Percente be-
gan to rush matters and from this on
he forced the fighting. 1t was plain
that Percente was willing to take all
the punishment that Nelson could give
him and the Kenosha man was simply
looking for chance to land a heavy
blow on the jaw. These tactics con-
tinued for the next two rounds and
Percente was forced to take some hard
blows from Nelson but he managed to
land few good ones. With the fourth
round the pace became a killing one
and amidst great applause Percente
forced Nelson to fight and both men
were forced to take great deal of
punishment. Percente was fresher
when the round ended aud he con-
tinued his advantage in the next
round.
When the referee called time at the
close of the last round both men we're
strong and the decision that the fight
was draw seemed to give general
satisfaction. Percente at once cha1-
1enged Nelson for another meeting,
when the two men will go to a de-
cision.

Many Cases Reported and One Death Re-
suits. People Want Schools Closed.
The village of Trevor, in the west
ern part of the county is afflicted with
a scourge of diphtheria and the health
officer of the town has been appea led
to by the patrons of the schools of the
village to order the schools closed
until after the disease has been check
ed. Many cases of the dread disease
have been reported in the last few
months. The first death from the
disease occurred last night when the
little son of Lawrence Montgomery
died after a short illness.
1t is reported that there are now
more than twenty cases in the village
and every precaution is being taken to
prevent further spread of the disease.
1t is probable that the health officer
will order the schools closed the latter
part of this week.
