jim HOUSE KILLED
NEAR GRAVES STATION.
SHOT WHILE AT WORK IN A COTTON
FIELD FRIDAY.
There Were No Eye Witnesses to the
Deed. But Coroner's Jury Has
Held Jordan Jackson.

Jim House, colored, was shot and
killed Friday afternoon while working
in a field on the farm of Dan Whitfield
Two miles south of Graves Station, and
the coroners jury has held Jordan
Jackson, also colored, on suspicion
that he committed the crime. Both
are boys, neither of them being OF age.
There we're no eyewitnesses OF the
tragic occurrence except the accused
man. According to his testimony
House and he had been talking, stand
ing about fifty yards from the other
hands in the field. House had shot
gun and remarked that he believed he
would 90 and kill some birds; The
shot gun was loaded and the hammers
were cooked, and Jackson warned him
that it was therefore dangerous, but
House paid DO attention to this warn
ing and walked off, the gun still cock
ed He had gone about fifteen feet
when jackson heard the repOl OF the
gun. and looked quickly in the direc-
ton of the sound and saw House pros
trate on the ground. He Immediately
went toward the crowd of negro hands
and informed them that House had
shot himself. They at first refused TO
believe him, but finally went to where
House was lying. These are the main
points in the prisoners statement be-
fore the corOuer's jury.
The evidence against him, while
purely circumstantial is very strong.
DR.. j. II. Lewis, who accompanied the
Jury to che scene, examined the corpse.
The shot had entered Houses neck
below the left ear, immediate y n rear
of the point of the jaw, and came out
90 the other side of his neck almost on
"a line with the point of entrance. A
man endeavoripg to commit suicide
might possibly wound himself IN this
way. but not in an accidental way.
Dir. Lewis gave it as his option that
House was shot while in kneeling
position, and a blood stained blank
book which was found near the body,
and which is now in possession OF Cor
oner w. j. Lewis, lends color to this
opinion, as House was probably kneel-
ing with the book open on his knee
when shot.
Heresay evidence TENDS 10 snow q
DISPUTE between the deceased and the
accused about two weeks prior to last
Friday, and this will probably bt
worked for its full worth by the prose
cution. .
Another peculiar and very signifi
can't fact was brought out in the evil
dence. When the father OF HOUSE
first reached the scene the gun la.
about twelve feet from the body OF hi
son. and when he returned later it ha'
been moved to within four feet of tht
body. This is one of the most import
ant points a1duced.
Houses reputation in the communi
ty where he lived was good, Jackson
the reverse.
Jackson was arrested by Bailiff jim
Melton before Coroner Lewis was no
tilted and after the jurY's verdict hat
been rendered was brought to nawsnl
and placed in Jail to await action b,
the grand jury, which will meet OF
the fourth Monday in November.
A pathetic incident in connection
with the occurrence was the touching
devotion of the dead negro's dog The
canine, a small fee, huddled himsei
ciese to the body of his master soon af

Pauper Committee Makes Detailed
Report to the City Council of the
Poor in the City.
EXPENSES ARE GREATLY REDUCED
Many People Receiving Help From the City
Who Were not Needy Are Cut Of
Many Applicants Reduced.

The Pauper committee of the City
Council who for the last two months
have been making an investigation OF
the people receiving help from the city
exchequer have filed their detailed re.
port with the city clerk and as result
of this report the pauper expenses OF
the city will be reduced almost one
half. The investigation has been in
process of completion for the last four
months and the report covers a dozen
pages of type written manuscript.
Every pauper was visited and his or
her life history written down together
with the amount the person may be
earning and receiving from the city.
In their investigation the committee
found that many people were receiving
help who were not in need and in these
cases the amount given by the city
was cut off. In other cases where in
comes were discovered the allowance
from the city was reduced so that as a
result of the investigation the cost of
supporting the poor of the city will be
reduced fully one-ha1f during the sum-
mer months.
In the report it is shown that four
families who had been receiving sup
port from the city are cut Oft entirely
and the male members of the family
set to work to earn living. Two are
cut off from all allowance save small
amount for groceries and in other
cases rent and fuel are cut Oft so as to
reduce the grand total. Some OF the
cases will be further Investigated and
it is probable that the list of depend
ents will be even more reduced before
the investigation is over.
At present there are on the lists OF
the Pauper committee some eleven
people and only few of these are re-
ceiving full support from the city. In
some cases the amount received is
very small, while several cases provide
only for the payment of rent. All the
cases are needy and most of them are
widows. On the lists it is discovered
that five people who are receiving
support from the city are women who
have been deserted by their husbands
and left behind with several small
children to support. The Council has
made an effort to catch some of these
deserters, but the plan has not proved
to be a paying one and in the future
the men will not be sought for.
The work Of the committee in saving
the city so large sum Of money is
worthy of the heartiest commentator
from the people of the city.

CALLING names seems to be the
principal midsummer recreat ton of
certain papers in Wisconsin. The
Free Press, having exhausted all its
vocab u1ary on the SO called stalwarts,
has solicited the press of the State for
still more names to call the opponents
of the primary election system. 1t is
an easy matter to find abusive cpl
thets. Fa1staff had a good many at
his command and they might be avail
able for the present occasion if worked
over and modernized little. When
Fa1stafian abusiveness gives out, how
ever, the good people who are still
anxious to print a little more scurrilous
stuff can go to Dowie and get re-en-
forcements for all time. The divine
healer has Fa1staffian girth and it is
chock full of thoroughly up to date
vituperation. The strictly original
stock is about gone. If we must en-
dure it let us at least have something
new and vigorous.

Board of Education Demands S37,936
For the Expenses of the Schools
For Next Year.
NEW BUILDING is TO BE BUILT.
Asks $15, 900 For This Purpose.
gof Finances at Present Insures De-
fcit-The High School Library.

The Board of Education met in ad-
journed session at the city hall Tues.
day evening and the meeting was very
much of hot weather session and only
nine of the members of the Board re-
sponded to the roll call. There was
little business of Importance to be
transacted and this was completed in a
very short time.
Superintendent Wiswa11 presented a
report to the board in regard to the
High school library which showed that
library was a very growing institu-
ton. There are now 961 books insthe
library divided as follows: Juvenile
books, 800; grammar grade books, 621;
professional books for the use of the
teachers, %. During the year 1916
books drawn by teachers and pupils OF
the different departments. Principal
WisWa11 recommended that one Of the
students be appointed assistant libra
rian to assist in the work of keeping
the library and the recommendation
will probably be carried out.
The most interesting matter of the
meeting was the present of the annual
estimate of the expenses for next year.
The council will be asked to raise over
$37, coo for the schools or an increase
of SIS, 900 over the amount raised last
year. This increase is asked on &C
count of the fact that the board has
decided to erect a new building in the
sixth ward. The report of the COM
nittee showing the receipts and ex-
penditures of the schools for next year
is as follows:

HooT mon, boot monI There's
trouble in Zion. DR.. Alexander Dow1e,
alias Elijah ILL., has run amuck some
thing serious. All this time that he
has been trotting about the country in
the mantle of the prophet the real
John the Baptist II, in the form of one
John Hoop, has been on earth taking 1t
all IN and just as the healer is about to
put the finishing touches on his great
Zion scheme, along comes John the
Baptist and proposes to make Elijah
Dowie hunt long grass. John Hoop,
the real reincarnation of the prophet,
is a stone cutter, and while he was
knocking the chips off big granite
rock in ST. Cloud, Mimi, in the sum-
mer of 1873 he made the remarkable
discovery of his identity. Since then
he has been busyI1aying up this world S
goods in order that he might prose1yte
prosperous1y. He is in Chicago now
and in the immediate future he is 60

Well Known Kenosha Barber Dis
appeared Sunday Night and
Cannot be Found.
SAID TO BE A WOMAN IN CASE
MCGOWAN Had Trouble With a Woman
From Chicago Who is Also Missing
Barber May Have Killed Himself

William MCGOWAN, barber who for
the last few months has been employed
at the Opera House barber shop is
missing. He disappeared on last Sun
day evening and thus far no trace of
the man has been found. At the time
of leaving Kenosha MCGOWAN is said
to have been in trouble and it is posi-
bic that he has made away with him
self. For some time MCGOWAN has
been entertaining a lady from Chicago
who is alleged to have been the cause
of his troubles and she left the city
shortly after the barber. MCGOWAN
has been morose for d week and among
his friends considerable apprehension
is felt.
Another part of the story is that the
man has simply skipped the town and
that he has left lot of little things
behind him which makes some of the
merchants in the city very anxious to
locate him. The friends of MCGOWAN
refuse to believe that he is guilty of
any wrong doing. The young man
had been in Kenosha for some time
and during his residence here he has
been very steady, working every day
and seemed sto be taking care of his
money. He made frequent trips to
Chicago and it was reported at one
time that he waslto have been married
in the near future to a Chicago girl.
This he emphatical1y denied a few
days before he disappeared.
He finished up his work on Saturday
night and seemed in the best of spirits
but on Sunday his former employer
saw him wandering about the streets
and he was at. the Northwestern sta
tion when the last train for the South
pulled out on Sunday night. 1t is pos
sible that she took the train and left
the city. Since .he was seen at the
station nothing has been heard of
him. The search for the man is being
pushed in other cities and his friends
hope to locate him in few days.
