TWO MORE VICTIMS.
Pneumonia Causes the Death of Herman
Krueder and Elmer Nelson

The epidemic of pneumonia is still
spreading in Kenosha and two more
deaths from the disease were reported
Saturday and Sunday while many new
cases are being reported by the phys
icians of the city.
Herman Krueder, a son of Herman
Krueder of this city and one of the best
known residents of the town of Som
ers, died at his home in Somers Sunday
morning as result of an attack of the
dreaded disease. He had been i'll for
about nine days. The deceased was
born and raised in Kenosha county.
The mother of the deceased died a week
ago from the same disease. The fune-
raj will be held from the German Luth-
ran church on Thursday afternoon and
the remains will be inferred by the
side of the deceased mother in the city
cemetery.
A wife, who is a sister to Rev. f. F.
Dornfe1d, and two children survive.
Pneumonia claimed another victim
on Saturday evening, when the death
of little Elmer Nelson, the six months
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. James Nelson,
occurred at the family residence in
Pleasant Prairie.

Wife Deserter Wanted by the City Was
Captured in Chicago After Long
Chase.
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM.
City Authorities Will See that Lopez is
OTTER Arrests to Follow.

The crusade started by the city coun-
Gil against wife desertion is beginning
to bear fruit, and after chase of two
months Chief O'Hare landed John
Lopez in the county Jail Saturday
evening. A warrant for his arrest had
been issued more than a month ago,
but Lopez had heard of the crusaders
and their plans and secreted himself in
Chicago.
Saturday the Chicago police got
wind of the fellows whereabouts and
landed him in the Desplaines street
station. He was turned over to the
Kenosha police at once and consented
to come here for trial.
Lopez left the city many months ago
leaving his wife and one-year-old child
entirely destitute. Since that time the
woman and child have been supported
by the city. After time it was learned
that Lopez had fled the city and the
council decided to make an effort to
place him under arrest. He will be
given hearing this afternoon and the
case will be pushed by the city. While

in making the complaint, she will be
forced to appear against him and an
effort will be made to give the fellow
the full extent of the law.
This is only the first of many arrests
that are expected as a result of the &C
ton of the Council. The police of the
city have been given a list of wife
deserters, and they have been ordered
to see that every one of them are cap
tured and brought here for trial.
Only last week it is stated that two
nen left their families in Kenosha and
went to new fields and pastures green.
In both cases the families are nearly
destitute, and they will be forced to
seek aid from the city or to depend on
the charity of their neighbors.
The move of the Council is one in
the right direction, and it is to be
hoped that every man wanted will be
captured and submitted to penalty
that will put an end to the nefarious
practice of wife desertion. The action
of the Council is attracting consider
able attention among other cities in
the state, and it is probable that others
will follow the lead of Kenosha.

DIED AT PENSACOLA.
Walter Tanck. a Naval Apprentice From
Kenosha, Died in the Naval Hospital

Walter Tanck. Naval Apprentice From
Kenosha, Died in the Naval Hospital.
Universal sorrow is felt in this city
on account of the announcement of the
death of Walter Tanck, aged II years,
a son of Fritz Tanck, and the youngest
representative of Kenosha in the
United States navy.
The death of young Tanck resulted
from typhoid fever, and it occurred on
last Thursday afternoon in the naval
hospital at Pensacola, Florida. The
remains will be brought to this city
for interment.
Young Tanck enlisted in the navy
about year ago and his splendid
work won for him the respect and love
of all the officers and men on the
Massachusetts. In writing of the
death of the Kenosha boy u. S. Naval
Chaplain G. Q. Wright sends the fol-
lowing letter:
u. ). 5. MASSACHUSETTS, ~
Pensacola, Fla, Jan. IL, 1901.
My Dear Sir-It is my very painful
duty Ito inform you of the death of
p. m. today, in the u. S. naval hospital
here, of typhoid fever. He was taken
sick on the ship and later sent to the
hospital. He was i'll about two and a
half weeks and until a few days ago
was expected to recover. He had the
very best medical attendance and
every'comfort. -Four skilled physicians
a ffnn606 h
was also consulted. The best trained
nurses cared for him day and night
and his comrades devoted1y watched to
serve him whenever they could. was
with him in his last hours, worshipped
with him and comforted him in every
possible way. His mind wandered
most of the time during the last week
of his illness so that we could not get
such messages as he would have sent
had he been himself. But there's a
comfort in that fact, for we know that
he was not conscious of suffering or
illness and passed away peacefully.
He was a good boy and made an ex-
ce11ent record in the service. Always
behaved well and stood we'll with all
hands. Being much beloved by all, the
whole ship is cast into deep sorrow
over his untimely death and in convey
ing to you my own deep sympathy
include also that of all on the ship.
Official communications from the
squadron will reach you in due time as
to his effects and accounts.
Commencing you and yours to God
and the words of his grace I am
Very sincerely,

arrangements I will write as soon as

A PECULIAR CASE.
Mrs. Carl Johnson Fell on the Street as
Result of an Attack of Hysteria.

Quite a little sensation was caused
on Main street shortly after o'clock
Sunday evening on account OF the
actions of Mrs. Carl Johnson, a well
known young woman of the north side.
The lady was alone and as she was
passing the Eiche1man store she reeled
forward as in a faint and would have
fallen had she not been caught by
John Mckinney and Hugh Jones. She
became unsconscious and in this con-
dition she was carried to Hurd's drug
store and DR.. w. r. Cheever called to
attend her. Mrs. Johnson remained
unconscious for over half an hour and
when consciousness returned she failed
to recognize any of her friends, who
had been called in. Later she i'm
proved and was taken to her home.
This morning she was entirely recov-
cred from the attack, which the doctor
states was simply N attack of hysteria
brought on by some excitement.

can it be discovered that an operation
has been performed.

Burglars and Hold-up Men Terrify Wau
kegan and Start Toward Kenosha.

Waukegan was in the hands of
burglars and ho1d-up men Saturday
evening, and there seems to be some
reason to believe that the guilty parties
are hidden in this city,
Saturday evening the police office
received notice that Waukegan house
was robbed of a large amount of jew
e1ry and silver and that man had
been held up on the street and his
property taken from him. The men
had been chased, but managed to get
out of Waukegan and came north
towardKenosha.
It is said that two suspicious char
acters were seen hanging about the
station on Saturday evening, but they
managed to leave town on freight
train.

ANDREW j. CODER INJURED.
Well Known Switchman Meets With Ser
ious Injury Saturday Evening.


| Andrew ]. Coder, residing at 10
Ridge street, met with very serious
accide 1T in the yards of the North
western Railway company in this city
last Saturday afternoon. Coder was
employed as a member of the switch
ing crew and had been working about
the depot. The crew had been switch
ing some cars and Coder attempted to
jump on the switch board of the engine.
The men on the engine expected to see
him ground to pieces, but after the
front wheels had passed over his two
feet Co6er managed to drag himself
from the track before the second wheels
touched him. It was seen that the
heavy leather heels of his shoes had
saved him from losing both his feet.
He was picked up and taken to his
home on Ridge street and DR.. Farr,
the surgeon for the company, was
called to attend him. An examination
showed that the right foot was badly
lacerated at the heel, where the wheel
had cut a wound more than seven
inches long. The toes were also badly
bruised, but no bones had been broken.
The heel of the left foot was also LAGER
ated and the rest of the foot bruised.
The man is resting easy today and it
is thought that his recovery is only a
matter of time.
Young Coder is one of the best
known employees of the company in
Kenosha and the accident is greatly
regretted by railway men. He is %
years of age and has wife and one
child.

TO REST AT HOME.
Remains of Kenosha Soldiers in the Phil

Remains OF henosha Soldiers in the Phil
ippines Are Expected Home This Week
Relatives of Charles Sherwood, a
former resident of this city, but more
recently a Sergeant in the United
States Army, have been notified that
his remains will soon be shipped to
this city for interment. The remains
are to be sent from Havana, Cuba,
where the young man died from yellow
fever on May 31st of last year.
In the death Of Sergeant Sherwood
the army lost one of it's brightest Off
GERS. He was a son of E. w. Sher-
wood, formerly of this city, and went
to the Spanish war as a member of the
Second regiment OF Illinois Volunteers
His adaptabi1ity for the signal service
service soon took him from the regular
ranks and he was made member of
the signal corps by General Greeley.
He served with honor through the war
and after the war was over he was
sent to take charge of the signal serv-
ice at Havana with the rank of Ser
geant. Here he remained until May
31st, when he was taken down with
yellow fever and died suddenly.
The remains will be laid to rest in
the city cemetery near the remains of
his mother. Sergeant Sherwood was a
brave and competent officer and was
greatly beloved among his comrades.
He leaues a wife and one child, who
are now living with relatives in
Dakota.
The exact time of the funeral is not
as yet known, but it will be announced
in few days.
Remains Expected Tomorrow.
Charles Orth, father of private John
Orth, formerly of this city, has been
notified by the government that the re-
mains of his son were shipped from
San Francisco on last Friday and it is
expected that the remains will arrive
in Kenosha tomorrow. The details for
the funeral have not as yet been made,
but it will probably be held from St.
Georges church on next Sunday.
John Orth was a brave soldier. He
had been serving with the Thirty-ffth
infantry of volunteers and met death
on the Island of Luzon on the night of
April 18th. At the time of his death
he was acting as a guard to a meat
train.

The Objectionable paragraphs in Ma
clay's History Of the Navy" are as
follows:
Schley. on May 2s, 1898, sullied this brightest
Of American notices by penning, Much to be re-
gretted cannot obey orders and turned in caitif
flight from the danger spot toward which duty,
honor and the whole American people were most
earnestly urging him.
Viewed in whatever light it may be, the fore
going dispatch cannot be characterized otherwise
than rs being, without exception. the most hu-
initiating. cowardly and lamentable report ever
penned By an American naval officer.
And further:
In his report about the coal supply Of the yes
sells under his command Schley exhibited timidi.
ty either amounting to absolute cowardice or a
preyarcation Of facts that were intrinscaly false
hoods.
The coal supply Of his squadron. 50 far from be-
ing meager, as Schley reported. is shown. by the
respective logs OF those ships, as indicated at
noon May "a, to have been most satisfactory.
Here, then, we have the humiliating spectacle
OF an American naval officer OF high rank, hav-
ing each and every one OF his fighting ships with
more than three days coal supply aboard. with a
collier laden with 1000 tons Of COAL reporting at
moment when the greatest crisis OF the war was
at hand. that "as the prospect did not seem IA
vorable forarepenishing the meager coal supply Of
the larger vessels. the squadron stood to the west

States was most feryently praying and urging him

Soon after the aasco with the Eagle Schley
found another pretext for delay in the collier
Merrimac, which embarrassed the movements Of
the squadron by breaking her intermediate pres

This" reported the commodore. ''was source
Of considerable anxiety as, with the weather con.
ditions that prevailed since leaving Cienfuegos it
appeared absolutely necessary to abandon the POI

vessels could be coaled and the colliers machinery
repaired"
This excuse. like the surf Oh Cienfuegos, which
Schley deemed too strong for American naval
valor to surmount, and the rain and rough
weather which delayed the run to Santiago, was
soon shown to be groundless for the energetic en-

Again the author says:
The one great lesson that Nelson gave In naval
strategy was that captain is never out OF posi-

axiom. 90 years later, was that ''the neare. you
get to your enemy the harder you can strike"
