YOUNG BOY MISSING.
Police Asked to Search for Joseph Skotski
who DISAPPEARED on Wednesday.


The police of the city have been
asked to make a search for Joseph
Skotski, the fourteen-year-old son of
Charles Skotski, who disappeared un-
der mysterious circumstances on We'd
nesday afternoon. The boy was sent
to the bank by his father with $50 in
money which he was supposed to de-
post. The boy never returned to his
home and the money was never depos-
tied in the bank.
Since Wednesday the family have
been searching for the boy, but when
the efforts proved unavailing they ap-
piled to the police for help. 1t is
thought possible that the boy has left
Kenosha and gone to Indiana for
visit at his former home. At present
he has not reached Indiana and it is
also thought possible that he is stop
ping in Chicago, There are no fears
of foul play.

A NEW SNAKE STORY.
North siders Tell of Strange Animal
That Has Been Crawling About Town.


The trail of the serpent is over the
North side. No one has seen the
aforesaid serpent, but weird tales are
being told of the track that has been
left by an animal supposed to be a
large snake. The snake is supposed to
have escaped from car at the North
western station and to have wandered
freely over the lawns and gardens of
North side residents. Along the
streets, through the gardens, under
buildings and over lawns trail has
been discovered which seems to indi-
cate that a snake of unusual size has
been finding a refuge in Kenosha.
The story is vouched for by many peo-
pie and it is said that the trail has
been traced as far as the old bedding
factory where his snakeship disap-
peared. The trail is very similar to a
large wagon track, but the fact that it
is found in yards as well as along the
street seems to indicate that the snake
ran at will.
1t is probably a case of a needed
change of brand, but the North side is
watching developments with great
deal of interest.

two pairs of pants under his coat, which
he had buttoned up tightly.
Just as the man WAS leaving the store
]. NJ. Sampliner arrived at the entrance
OF the store. He noticed that the mans
coat was bulged out considerably. He
quickly asked Beatty il the man had
purchased anything and If his coat was
bulging out as he noticed it when he
came into the store. Beatty answered
that he had not purchased anything and
also that bis coat WINS normal upon com
ing into the store. Mr.. Samphner took
the situation in at glance and followed
the man down Main street, a5 he was
Logging it at good gait westward, over

partment today gave the Eastman Com
pany an order for three OF the deluge out

not only did not reach so great distance,
but also broke badly few feet after leav-
Ing the old-time nozzles. After the trial
at this point was concluded the party
moved out to 10th and U streets, where the
same outfits were given plug test. With
out the services Of steamer, and with
only plug pressure of seventy-seven
pounds, the Eastman outfits threw a two
inch solid stream of water 16S feet, the old
time nozzles not making more than half
that distance.

partment with the outfits ordered today, SO

Whenever Commander Hams announced

PROTEST AGAINST BILL.
Resident Says Water Rent Was Nor
Than Doubled.

Resident Says Water Rent Was More
Than Doubled.
Mr.. Thomas Armat, residing at 100 Ore
gon avenue, has written to the District
Commissioners protesting against his water
rent bill, which he says has been raised
from Sc to $15. The difficulty seems to have
arisen on account of the peculiar shape of
the lot and the house thereon. Mr.. Armat
states that the frontage of the house. as
stated in the bill is probably technically
80 feet, although the body of the house Is
but 1,1OO square feet, and the house, Mr..
'Armat believes. does not cover as much
ground as the ordinary 2O-foot front house.
Mr.. Armat also calls attention to the fact
that the water pressure at his house Is
very poor, and that sometimes 1t will not
flow in the bath room. He incloses a letter
he received from the engineer department
stating that there was little chance of re~
lief being afforded in that respect for some
time to come He requested that the old
rate of the house be restored.
The Commissioners have approved a COM
promise bill Of 50 suggested by George r.
the building Is a trapezoid in shape. with
bases by 81 feet, and with a front line on
Oregon avenue of 35 feet. 1T appears very
hard to assess this place." says Mr.. Green,
'for the full front on Oregon avenue in
view of the fact that were 1t q rectangle,
with a much larger area, the charge would
be at most against 81 feet. For this reason
taking one-half the sum Of the bases
In accordance with this bill for 50, as
sessed at 20 feet front, has been rendered
Mr.. Armat.

APPLICATION DENIED.

beas Corpus.

Judge Bradley Refuses Writ of Ha-
beas Corpus.
Justice Bradley today denied the applica-
ton of Timothy Killigan for a writ Of
habeas corpus to secure his release from
the District Jail. Killigan was recently
sentenced by Judge Kimbal In the Police
Court to pay a fine Of 500 for alleged as
sault committed on Policeman Sylvester
Murphy and fine Of SO in addition for
alleged disorderly conduct, or to be Inn
prisoned in default. In his petition for
habeas corpus Killigan set forth that Judge
Kimball violated the petitioners constitu-
tional rights as defendant by making him
give evidence against himself without first
cautioning him Of his rights as defendant;
that Killigan did not secure a fair and Inn
partial trial; that the alleged trial was
illegal and void, for the reason that the Pc
titioner was charged with two offenses and
was tried at one time and really In one
case, and that the only case Judge Kimball
had Jurisdiction In was that alleging dis
orderly conduct, the case alleging assault
being beyond the Jurisdiction Of the Dis
trict branch Of the Police Court.
In remanding Killigan to the custody of
the warden of the jail. Justice Bradley held
that the Police Court had jurisdiction Of
the offense with which he was charged.
