PERCENTE TO MEET SANTRY.
Kenosha Boy Matched For Six Round Go
With Former Champion Featherweight.


Joe Percente, of this city, today
signed articles of agreement for six
round eight with Eddie Santry, the
former champion featherweight, who
recently lost his 1aurels to Terry Nc
Govern. The fight is scheduled to
take place at Sheboygan before the
Sheboygan Athletic club on the even
ing of November 21st, and the two
men agree to weigh in at three O'Clock
in the afternoon at 133 pounds.
This will be the hardest fight that
Percente has ever entered. Santry is
recognized as one of the cleverest
fighters in his class in the world and
when he fought with McGovern he
managed to stand the awful punish
ment of McGovern for five terrific
rounds.
The fight between Santry and Per
cente will be for purse given by the
Sheboygan club and for a large por-
ton of the gate receipts. After the
fight with Santry it is probable that
Percente will meet Adam Ryan and
Mickey Kelley, of Racine, as both of
these men are anxious to get a fight
with the Kenosha boy.
Percente began his training this
morning and there is no doubt, but
that he will be able to make the 1873
pound class by the time he enters the
ring.

NO FREE OVERCOATS.
Mayor German Checkm ates a Neat Little
Scheme to Raise the Pay of Police.

OCu0M6 70 AdlSe the ray OI EO1AC0
The City Council met in regular ses-
sion at the City Hall Monday evening,
effect on TIE enthusiasm of the Alder
men, for when the Clerk began his
monotonous work of reading the min
utes of three previous meetings, only
eight of the Aldermen were in their ac-
custorned seats.
The work of reading the minutes
continues for three quarters of an
hour, after which the council got down
to work. TIE committee on sewers
were given authority to order the con-
struction of catch basin on Rowland
avenue. A petition was presented by
a number of the residents of the town
of Pleasant Prairie, residing just
south of the city on Pleasant street,
asking that their property, extending
as far south as Summons street be an
nexed to the city. The new suburb is
a large one and contains many inhab-
itants, who seek the advantage of pay
ing taxes to the city. The petition
was referred.
The report of the poor master show
ed that 70 people were receiving whole
or part support from the city. This
number will probably be considerably
increased by the coming of cold winter
weather.
Attorney Peter Fisher reported to
the Council that he had settled up the
Fitzgibbon sewer contract by paying
up the claims due from the contractors.
The report was accepted and the
Fitzgi5bon sewer, as matter of
municipal history may be considered
CLOS d.
The attorneys for the Reichert COM
pany presented claim to the Council
for the payment for a sewer built on
Middle street a year ago. The Coun-
Gil had been enjoined from paying for
the sewer by certain tax payers and
for this reason no action has ever been
taken on the natter. The demand of
the attorneys of the contractors was
referred to the judiciary committee.
The Harbor committee reported that
it would require an expenditure of $500
to repair the breakwater at the foot of
Deming Court. Of the amount 5000
would be needed for new timbers and
5000 for stone necessary to fill the
breakwa+er. The worst part of the
breakw4rer, the committee reported
could be repaired for $500. Alderman
Hermann wanted the Council. to visit
the breakwater and draw their own
conclusion in regard to the work need
ed, and the vote on his desire was
tie. Mayor German declared the mo-
ton carried, and the Council will make
the visit before the work is ordered
done.
Alderman Smith had a new wrinkle
in the way of municipal overcoats for
the police officers. The Alderman
thought an appropriation of about
SIS would be needed for the purpose.
Alderman Smiths motion provoked
no end of fun, but it went through
lust the same by vote of 7 to 5. The
police had a moment of rejoicing un-
til the Mayor declared the motion lost,
it requiring twelve votes'to make the
appropriation.

MISSING THREE YEARS.
Police Asked to Search For the Where
abouts of Thomas Herbertson.

Chief of Police Newhouse is in re-
ceipt of letter from ST. Thorn as,
Ontario, asking that he institute a
search for the whereabouts of Thomas
Herbertson, who is claimed to have
been missing from this city for the
past three years. The letter received
was written by Mrs. J. H. Paddon, a
sister of the missing man, who states
that when Herbertson was last heard
of he was conducting a livery stable
in this city. This was three years ago
and since that time no word has been
received from the man.
A careful examination of the city
fails to reveal any trace of the missing
man and it is apparent that the lady in
Canada has been badly mis1ed in some
manner, as the police have not been
able to find any livery sta bic either in
ancient or modern history in which
the missing man appeared in the role
of proprietor.

MARX TWA1N'3 MASTERPIECE.
"Pudd'nhead" TO Be Presented at the
Rhode Next Friday Night.

For the first time in it's history
"Pudd Wilson," Mark Twain's
superb effort, made infinitely stronger
through the dramatization, is to be
presented in this city. A powerful
play, possessing an enhancing heart
interest, it has been most pronounced
success wherever a performance has
been given. The many strong points
which the book possessed, were brought
forth with a greater force by the
dramatist and as result, the play is
today one of the best of all the come
dies treating of American life. 1t is
to be given here, on a greater and
more elaborate scale than has ever
marked any of its previous productions
and Shipman Brothers, who are di-
recting the tour of the piece, have
chosen a company of actors and
actresses of undoubted ability to prop
er1y interpret the play. The dramatic
event of the local season is promised
and an enthusias and highly appre-
ciative attendance is anticipated ON
the occasion of its coming presenta-
ton. Seats now selling.

Kenosha Aldermen Administer Crush
ina Defeat to the Racine Bowl
ers at Central Park.
KENOSHA MEN 1853 POINTS AHEAD
Racine Bowlers Appear as Pigmtes Before
Kenosha Bowlers-Many of the Racine
Men Were Not Able to Play.

The eagle screams, the rooster
crows, and the flag is up to the top
most peak this afternoon, on account
of the glorious victory won by the Ke-
nosha Municipal Bow1ers over the Ra-
cine officials at Central Park Tuesday
evening. For the last two years the
Racine officials have been attempting
to win a game of ten pins from the Ke-
nosha officials and when Mayor Hig-
gins led his company of twenty men to
the scene of the conflict last evening,
he thought that he had managed to
turn the trick, But "of all sad words"
sit might have been," but it wasn't.
The Racine officials carried their tin
horns home in their cases and the
score man wiped smile from his face
as he cha1ked up victory for the Ke-
nosha team by neat margin Of over
a hundred and fifty points.
The game was the first of the sea-
sons series between the officials Of the
two cities The Racine team turned
out in force, but only nine of the play
ers of the Kenosha council responded
to the call, the rest of them being sup
posed1y busy with the affairs of state
back in Southport. From the begin
ming to the close of the game the re-
suit was never in doubt. When Mayor
German failed to arrive, Mayor Hig-
gins gracefully refused to take any
unfair advantage of the Kenosha
bowlers and at once retired to the side
lines CITY Clerk Scboff, of Racine,
was present, but as he is recognized as
one of the professional pigeon hole
PLAYERS of the State, he declined to use
his skill at bowls, and proceeded to do
up the City Clerk of Kenosha at his
favorite pass time.
The final score of the game was Ke-
nosha 1143, Racine 900, but this tells
little of the contest. The Kenosha
team was so far ahead when the game
was half over, that Manager Jacob
ordered the men to let down and not
allow the defeat to be such crushing
one that the Racine team would be
disheartened.
Every man on the Kenosha team
with the exception of Hermann, who
by the way is a beginner, and who
made six poodles as a starter, and
Tul1ey won from his man, and in
some cases the score was very large.
The highest score of the evening was
made by William Joachim, of the
Water Department of Kenosha, while
George Wallis, City Clerk Jacob, AL
derman O'Brien and Pirsch were
making a hot fight for the second
honors of the evening Alderman
Tichnor, of Racine, made the best
score for the opponents, getting 123
pins, J. F. Sugden, who by the way
was a ringer, was second with a score
of 10.
Arrangements are now being made
for another game between the two
teams, at which the Racine team ex-
pect to wipe out the defeat. During
the game the management of the
Park served a splendid supper in
honor of the Aldermen and their
friends.
The score of the match last evening
follows:

SWARTZ FEIGNS MADNESS.
Prisoner at the County Jail Raves For the
Benefit of His Keepers.

The question of the sanity of Carl
Swartz, who is confined in the county
jail awaiting trial for the charges
brought against him in connection
with the Becker case, is giving the
officials of the jail considerable trou-
BILE. Swartz is either insane or he is
making an effort to feign insanity for
the sake of getting away from the GER
tain punishment awaiting him. He
was taken back to the Jail Saturday
morning and all day Sunday he re-
fused to eat, but sat in his cell and
murmured in an incoherent manner.
Several times he called out to the un-
der sheriff that he had not murdered
Emma Becker.
This morning the wife of Swartz
called to see him but he refused to have
anything to do with the woman more
than ask in regard to his favorite son,
Charlie. The attorney for the State
and the sheriff seem to be convinced
that Swartz is feigning insanity and
the hearing of the case will proba bly,
go on as scheduled. Swartz has signi-
fed an intention to plead guilty, but
he has not as yet filed formal appli-
cation.

FELL DOWN THE STAIRS.
Miss Lucinda Davis Meets With Bad Ac-
cident at Her Home on S. Chicago St.

Miss Lucinda Davis met with a very
painful accident at her home on S.
Chicago street Tuesday which will
probably result in the lady being con-
fined to her room for many days. Miss
Davis was working in the second story
of her home, and carrying bucket of
water she started to walk down the
steps to the first floor. On the first
step her foot slipped and she was
thrown down the stairs.
DR.. Gillespie was called to attend
her and an investigation showed that
the left shoulder and arm had been
badly wrenched. Miss Davis's body
was also badly bruised.

AFTER LYNCH MONEY.
Jerome Lynch, of Philadelphia, Seeks to
Secure Portion of VIM. Lynch Estate.
W. r. ANDERSON,
Committee.

Jerome Lynch, of Philadelphia, Seeks to
Secure Portion of VIM. Lynch Estate.
The old story of the missing heir to
the estate of the late William Lynch
was revived today when the Clerk of
the Circuit Court received a letter
from Jerome Lynch, pension exam
liner of Philadelphia, who thinks that
he is one of the missing heirs to the
estate. In his letter Lynch states that
he thinks there is reason to believe
that he is one of the heirs to the es-
tate, as his parents were formerly resi-
dents of this county. Thec1aim of the
Philadelphia man hardly seems wor-
thy of consideration, as the name of
the missing heir was John Lynch and
it is not possible that he would have
son of mature manhood. The connec-
ton of the Philadelphia man to the es-
tate will, however, be investigated.
