Street Railway Surveyors Working
Between Kenosha and Winthrop
HabOr on Ashland Ave.
MYSTERY ABOUT THE HACKERS.
Men Working on the Survey Refuse to
State Who Is Having the Survey Made
&C. & N. S. Co. Interested.

To the great mesh of electric rail-
ways projected in Kenosha county an
other addition is threatened and a
large force of surveyors are at work
today projecting a route south from
this city to Winthrop Harbor. The
men are ali employed by Chicago
firm, and while several of them were
interviewed Monday evening none of
them we're willing to divu1ge the names
of the men in whose employ they were
working. The men are laying out the
road along the West side of the high
way and it isstated that the company
backing the road intend to start the
construction with the early spring.
The men at work on the survey are
all Chicago men and for three days
they have been at work. The stakes
for the road have been set as far North
as the railway crossing just south of
the city limits. 1t is supposed that the
surveyors are employed by the North
Shore Railway company which is now
planning to build a line from Win
throp Harbor to the belt lines at Wau-
kegan. This company has control of
all franchise rights in and about Win
throp Harbor and they have made con-
tracts for the building of small strip
of road in the early spring. When the
company was formed it was stated
that the company might in the future
build to Kenosha, but this portion of
the road was not planned as anything
certain.
It was thought possible that the sur
veyors were in the employ of the Chi
cago, Kenosha & Milwaukee company,
but men interested in this company
were seen and stated positively that no
work was being done by the company
at this time.
It is probable that the c. K. & M.
company will not attempt to do any
work until all the difficulties in Keno
sha have been settled in such a man
ner that right of way through the
city will be assured.
J. II. Van Vlissingen and Alexander
Clark, of Chicago, are backing the
North Short road mainly on account
of their interest in the land about
Winthrop Harbor and it is very proba-
BILE that this road will be built next
spring.

SEEKS MISSING DAUGHTER
Mrs. A. Hoff Has Long Search Which Re-
suits in No Success.

There was something of a sensation
on the South side Monday afternoon
when Mrs. Hoff, who resides at 572
Grant street, started out to search for
her daughter, Mary Hoff, who has been
missing from home several days.
Two weeks ago the young lady had
come down town to get bicycle fixed,
and while down town she had an otter
to work at the home of man who is
alleged to have given his name as
School. Mary returned to her home
with the gentleman and told her
mother that she had accepted the posi-
ton and would go to work at once.
From that time it seems that the
mother lost trace of her daughter and
the place at which she was working,
and Monday afternoon, fearing that
her daughter had met with some mis-
fortune, she started out to find her.
The number of the house was said to
be 48O, but the street was lacking, and
the only direction given was that 1T
was one of the streets leading off the
Park. Mrs. Hoff came to the South
side and made trip on every street
leading from Library park, enquir1ng
at every house as to the whereabouts
of her daughter. Her search was not
rewarded with any success, and she
returned home late in the evening
after having called at nearly hund-
red homes.
There is no name in the directory to
show the residence of any man by the
name of School. Mrs. Hoff stated to
the people she Intercepted that
School has stated that he was en-
ployed on one of the boats running
out of the city and that he had four
children, the youngest being less than
two weeks old.
Mary Hoff is twenty years of age,
and while her mother seems to be wor-
ried, it is evident that the young
lady is old enough to take care of her
own affairs and she will probably be
found safe and sound somewhere in
the city.
In the meantime the mother is still
looking for the daughter and the
daughter will confer a favor on her
mother by sending a more perfect ad-
dress.

Chicago Man Accused of Bribery Lets Go His Bluff and Begins
to Fight for His Liberty in the Illinois
Courts of Justice.
APPEALS TO GOVERNOR YATES FOR AID.
Cusen Will
the Issue of Requison Papers Demanded
at Any Price-Keno-
officials Hurry to Springfield.

Gustav L. C1ausen, of Chicago,
charged with bribery by the officials
of this county has dropped his strong
bluff and has started fight to prevent
the issue of requisition papers which
will permit him to be brought to this
city from Chicago for trial. The re-
QUESTION papers were issued on last
Thursday by Governor LaFollette de-
manding that Governor Yates of I1li
nois cause the arrest of Clausen. In
some manner the issue of the papers
reached the ears of C1ausen and when
the sheriff arrived at Spring cid Mon
day to secure the papers permitting
him to arrest C1ausen in Illinois he
discovered that the plan had been an
ticipated by C1ausen and the latter had
attorneys on the spot to fight the is
sue of the requisition papers. No pa
pers were issued and at the request of
the accused man Governor Yates will
hear his side of the controversy to-
morrow and decide as to the issue of
the papers demanded by the governor
of Wisconsin which will permit the
bringing of C1ausen to Chicago and to
Kenosha.
This new phase of the matter came
as surprise to the officials of this
county. The splendid bluff of C1au-
sens that he was ready to come to
Kenosha for trial seems to have been
exploded by his fight against the re-
QUESTION papers. C1ausen stated only
a day ago that he had planned to come
to Kenosha at once, but it is evident
that he has had his attorneys on the
watch for the officials seeking the re-
QUESTIONS, and has managed to delay
the work of the officers who are seek
ing to bring the accused man to Ke-
nOsha.
There is little doubt but that this
action on the part Of C1ausen will in
fuence public opinion against him and
tend to strengthen the case made by
the District Attorney and his aids.
The announcement that Clausen
was fighting the proceedings to bring
him to Kenosha caused a profound

RACINE IL, APPLETON 10.

The Appleton base ball team de-
feated the Racines Sunday for the
State championship after a hard
fought contest. The uphill fight of
the Racines uastonished and pleased
the Racine rooters. In the third in
ming the score stood g to in favor of
Appleton, but in the next inning Ra
cine fell on Currie, the Appleton
pitcher, and scored two runs, and from
then on kept continuously gaining,
and inithe eighth forged ahead, but the
Appletons batted out victory in the
ninth. The score stood - to II.

COUNTY JAIL DESERTED.
Not Single Prisoner Confined Within the
County Basti1e.

For the first time in the history of
Kenosha county since the days when
Kenosha assumed the dignity of city
the doors of the county jail stood wide
open Monday evening and all were
free to come and go. The Clatter of
the locks was not heard at the usual
hour of nine, for the cells were empty
and not single prisoner was there to
answer the roll call at night. For the
last few days the jail has been practi-
cal1Y deserted. One lonely prisoner
who was serving a term of fifteen day S
on a charge of intoxication remained
with the sheriff ano under-sheriff until
Monday night, when one of his friends
arrived and paid his fine and the Jail
was open.
In looking over the books of the Jail
this morning it was discovered that
this is the first time in many years
that the Jail has been completely de-
serted. Of course, the people of the
city will naturally wonder as to the
cause of this strange vacation of the
county basti1e and the idea will at once
be brought out that the people of the
city and county are getting exceedingly
good or the police and officials of the
county are getting lazy.
There has been no serious crime in
Kenosha in many weeks and not a
single man has been arrested in the
last two months on a charge warrant
ing his retention for hearing in the
Circuit court. The police Office has
been practically deserted and with the
exception of few arrests on petty
charges the officers have had little to
do. Verify Kenosha is becoming
good town.

MAKE A NEW RECORD.
Kenosha Ball Team Defeats the Chicago
Gas Co. Team by a Score of % to 5.


Gas Co. Team by a Score of % to 5.
The Kenosha Athletics established a
teams Sunday afternoon when in a
game with the team representing the
Peoples Gas Light & Coke company
of Chicago, the Kenosha team made
total Of twelve runs before a man
had been retired. The story of the
game is told in this single statement.
The team from Chicago was strong
aggregation of players but the Keno
sha men were at their best and almost
any team that has played in Kenosha
this year would have been defeated by
the star playing of the Kenosha men.
The game was won in the first in
ming when total of six hits and a
number of bad errors on the part of
the Chicago players netted the Keno
sha boys twelve runs. Every man on
the team was hitting the ball and hit
ting it hard. Dean, the Chicago
pitcher proved to be puzzle in all the
innings save the first and sixth, but in
these two innings the Kenosha men
made runs enough to win any game.
Freitag pitched a steady game and
had gilt edged support from the in
field as well as the feeders who work
out along the fence lines. Two dou-
BILE playes were made by the Kenosha
players during the game and several
times hits that looked very safe were
headed off by the fast fielding of the
Kenosha team. Connery led the
team in batting. He seemed to take
very kindly to Dean and every time
he came to bat the bail was hit safely.
In the third Connery hit the ball over
the fence for home run.
On account of the bad weather the
crowd in attendance at the game was
one Of the smallest of the year, there
being less than three hundred paid ad-
missions.
The score of the game by innings
follows:

sensation among the friends of the,
promoter in this city. None of them
seem to be able to explain his actions.
No effort will be spared to have the
papers demanded by the Governor
issued. AS soon as District Attorney
Bucknaster was informed of the
change ia the attitude of C1ausen he
packed his grip and started for Spring
field, where he will meet Sheriff
Whitcher tomorrow morning.
A great fight is expected. when the
matter is taken up by the Governor of
Illinois. Clausen has a copy of the
charges that have been brought against
him, and the entire evidence, in
Guiding the startling disclosures of one
of the aldermen in connection with
the case, have been laid bare in the,
requisition papers issued by Governor
LaFo1lette. With all this substance
the fight for C1ausen will be fought
out, and on the decision of Governor
Yates will largely rest the success or
failure of the charges which have
been brought against the aldermen in
Kenosha. The officials in Kenosha
seem to think that Governor Yates,
will have no other alternative but to
grant the requisition papers demanded,
but on the other hand C1ausen has Sc
cured the services of the best attor-
neys in Chicago and if the papers are
issued it will be only after the hardest
fight ever made before an executive.
If possible the matter will be 6n~
ished up tomorrow, as it is the plan Of
the District Attorney and his aids to
get C1ausen to this city before the pre-
liminary hearing of the accused Alder
men which will come up before Court
Commissioner Baker on Friday next
There is a strong probability that
another adjournment will be taken in
the case, as the Commissioner will not
be able to hear the case on that day on
account of the funeral of the late Ny
ron E. Baker.

a member of Company F of the Nine
teenth Wisconsin volunteers. AS a
member of this company he saw a
great deal of service in the war of the
rebellion, taking part IN many of the
hardest fought battles of the great
civil contest. For some time he has
been a member of the company at the
Soldiers Home.
The old veteran will be shown all
the honors of a soldier and will be bur-
led by the local Post of the Grand

PARTICULARLY GOOD.
Is Next Sundays Attraction at the Rhode
Opera House.

A particularly interesting and i'm
portant event of the dramatic season
will be the production of 1.-The Cow
boy and the Lady" at the Rhode opera
house on next Sunday night when S.
Miller Kent will be seen in this bril-
liant comedy-drama bye Clyde Fitch.
The play is essentially Western, the
scenes being laid in Si1vervil1e, Colo.
The interior of mining camp, intro
ducing cowboys and typical Western
characters in the rough is the scene of
the first act. To this place comes
Teddy North, an Eastern college man,
who soon shows the Western ranch
men what good stuff there is in him.
A typical dance hall in such a region
is shown in the next act, where some
of the most exciting scenes occur, and
the third act is held in a Western
court room, where CLEANS of humor
break through the tragic atmosphere
of trial for murder, and the mystery
is finally cleared up, and the cowboy
wins his lady. Mr.. Kent, of course,
plays the role of the college athlete
turned cowboy, and Miss Ethelyn
Palmer will essay the role of Mrs.
Weston, the lady with whom the cow
boy falls in love. An exceptionally
strong supporting company has been
engaged.

RAGo LEAVES THE FORCE.
only italian Ever on the Kenosha Police
Force Resigns His Position.

Police Officer Frank Rago today
handed in his resignation as member
of the police force!to the Chiefof Police
and he will leave tomorrow for Mon
tana, where he has accepted a position
as a stone cutter.
Rago has been a member of the
force for the last seven months and he
has the honor of being the first Italian
ever elected as a member of the police
force. He has done good service as an
officer and his work among the Ita1-
JAMS has had the effect of making them
much more orderly.
AS yet no announcement has been
made of the selection of man to take
Rago's place, but there are many APP
p1icants for the position. The matter
will probably be left to the committee
on police with power to act.

TO BUILD A CHURCH.
Polish Catholics Approve Plans and Work
Will Be Started at Once.

The members of the St. Casmir
Polish Catholic church held special
meeting at st. Georges hall last Sun
day afternoon at which the plans for
the erection of new church building
for the use of the society were approved
and it is probable that the new temple
of worship will be built before the
close of the present year. AS yet the
exact location of the church has not
been decided upon, but it will probably
be on the property formerly owned by
Peter Jacobs in the northwestern part
of the city.
The church will be small one, cost
ing in the neighborhood of $1,000.
The congregation is a growing one
and eighty members have been brought
into the society since it was founded a
few years ago.

THIEF AT RUMAGE SALE.
Unknown Polish Resident Steals Faucet
and is Promptly Apprehended.

A thief at the rummage sale. This
is a most unusual sort of a criminal,
but such a thief was discovered last
Saturday evening by Under Sheriff
Reinold at the sale given by the ladies
of ST. Matthew's church. The officer
went into the room on little business
and while he was there he saw the man
steal a small faucet which was valued
at about three cents. He at once went
after the cu1prit and in minute more
the man had Jail sentence staring
him in the face. He broke down and
cried like baby and agreed to pay a
dollar for the trinket if he was re-
leased. AS none of the ladies desired
the arrest of the man he was allowed
to settle the matter for a dollar.

man, who worked in another building
