Car on the M. R. & K. Leaves Track
and Dashes Into Telegraph
Pole Monday Night.
PASSENGERS ARE FRIGHTENED.
All Escape With Slight Bruises. but are
Forced to Walk in the Frosty Air.
AIotorman Remains at Post.

With the mercury lowering about
the zero point car on the Milwaukee,
Racine and Kenosha Electric Railway
pany's tracks was wrecked just
north of the city limits, Monday night,
and twelve passengers, all residing IL
Kenosha, were forced to walk from the
sceue of the accident to the station
The people were exceedingly fortunate
to escape with their lives and nearly
every occupant of the car was more or
less bruised in the accident.
The car had left Racine at 9 O'Clock
with twelve Kenosha people on board
and it was in charge of Motorman
Leach. Before the limits of Racine
had been passed the car slipped from
the rails, but the accident was trif1ing
one IN comparison to the one which
occurred later. AS soon as possible
the car was restored to the rails and
the journey continued. When the car
touched the grade near the Pennoyer
Sanitariun. there was sudden lurch.
the passengers were thrown from their
seats into an indiscriminate mass in
the center of the car and the car
swung to one side and went straight
across the track and dashed into a
telegraph pole on the side of the track.
Great excitement ruled in the car for a
few minutes, but as soon as possible
the passengers extrica ted themselves
from the heap and it was seen that
none Sof them was seriously injured
DR. N. A. Pennoyer, who was a pas
senger on the car, gave the wounded
all the service needed and in a short
time they left the car and walked on
into the CITY. The car was badly
damaged and it seems almost a miracie
that the motornan escaped seriou s
injury.
The motorman had the car well in
hand when the accident occurred, and
although it looked as if it were impos.
sible for him to escape injury and pos
sib1e death, he stuck to his post, and
when the car struck the pole he was
still grasping the lever.
No cause has been assigned for the
accident, but it is thought that it re.
suited from the spreading of the rails
on account of the cold weather.
The company has done everything
in it's power to facilitate the running
of the cars during. the winter season,
but the season for accidents is now on
and it is probable that many minor &C.
cidents will occur before the winter is
over.

went OF the stage from this county.
Inc deceased actor was born on, =

WHICH ne went to the front. He re-
turned to the city of New York with
the rank of major, was mustered out
and went back to the stage. In New
York city at the Fifth Avenue theatre

ALEXANDER PETRIE DEAD.
Former Well Known Young Man of This
City Expires at Portland, Oregon.

Former Well Known Young Man of This
City Expires at Portland, Oregon.
A telegram was received in this city
from Portland, Oregon, last Saturday
evening by Mrs. Kate Petrie, an
nouncing the sad news of the death Of
her son, Alexander Petrie, which oc-
Cured at that far distant city on the
coast some time last Saturday. The
young man had been sick for some
time, but he was not supposed to be in
any immediate danger, and the news
of his death came as severe shock to
his aged mother and sisters in this
city. Death is supposed to be due to
pneumonia.
Alexander Petrie was born in this
city May z, 1876, and was past 20 years
of age. He was the son of Mrs. Kate
Petrie, who lives on Wisconsin street.
The bereaved mother and family
have the sympathy of the entire com
munity in their sad affection.

TO MAKE GUNPOWDER.
Latin, Rand Co. at Pleasant Prairie to
Branch Out Into New Industry.

Laflin, Rand Co. at Pleasant Prairie to
Branch Out Into New Industry.
The Latin, Rand Powder Company
at Pleasant Prairie is planning to go
into new line of business, as the in
stallation of the new machinery which
is now completed will allow the COM
pany to engage in the manufacture of
gunpowder. For the past few years
all the energy of the plant has been
given over to the manufacture of
blasting powder, the plant being the
largest makers of this sort of powder
IA the country.
There is a demand for a Western
plant to manufacture gunpowder and
it is probable that in the near future
the Pleasant Prairie company will be
making as much gunpowder as it is
now making blasting powder.
Few people in Kenosha have any
idea of the great magnitude of the
plant west of the city. The plant is
now shipping car load of powder
every day.

NO HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM.
High School Committee Finds That Gym

High School Committee Finds That Gym
nasium is an JmpOssibility.
The High school boys and girls who
recently petitioned the Board of Edu-
cation to provide for the building of a
gymnasium in the Central building,
will not secure the prayer of their
petition, as the committee to which
the petition was sent has discovered
that it will be practically impossible
for gymnasium to be constructed IN
the building without a great expendi-
ture of money.
At the request of the committee in
charge of the matter the building was
examined by number of architects
and it was found that to build the
gymnasium change would have to be
made in the entire building and the
cost of such changes was placed at not
less than $1,000. Of course it is out of
the question for the board to consider
such an expenditure at the present
time. 1t is possible that later on the
board may see its way clear to rent a
building for the use of the athletes of
the school, but such plan will hardly
be carried outsduring this year.

John Thomas, Well Known EmpIOye
OF the Crib Company, is Robbed
by Unknown Men.
POLICE ARE BADLY HANDICAPPED.
Thomas Fails to Report His Loss Until |
Day Had Passed Had Hard Tussle
and is Cruelty Assaulted.

Report has been made TO the Police
department that a daring crime was
committed in the North Side park
shortly after midnight Sunday morn
ing when three unknown men held up
John Thomas, we'll known employe
of the Kenosha Crib Company. After
robbing the man of his money the
men beat him III a merciless manner
and fed, leaving the man exhausted
from the struggle in the park. No re-
port of the robbery was made to the
police until Monday evening, as the
man robbed was of the opinion that he
would be able to locate the robbers
himself.
For their trouble the three men man
aged to secure $22 in money and
mum Der of cigars and jack knife.
The police have very imperfect de-
scription of the men, and as they have
been given a two days start, it is
hardly probable that they can be
located.
Thomas tells graphic story of the
crime in which he was one of the chief
actors. On Saturday evening he had
been visiting with friends on Lake
avenue. and just before midnight he
started for his home an Bronson street.
He walked to the south entrance OF the
park and at that time he thought he
saw some one lurking in the shadow of
the band stand in the park, but think
ing of no wrong he paid no attention
to the matter. When he approached
the band stand the man in hiding sud
denly confronted him and demanded
that he throw up his hands. Thomas
was too frightened to do anything but
obey, and when his hands went up
confederate of the man behind the gun
stepped up from behind and Thomas
was pinioned. With these two In com
plete control third man came run
ming across the park, and while
Thomas was too frightened to even
shout for help, the third man went
through his pockets and took every
thing of value. Two pocketbooks con-
tanning $22 and a small amount Of
change formed the booty of theS rob-
bers. A gold watch, which was in the
vest pocket of Thomas, was overlooked
by the midnight marauders.
When the three men had completed
the work of robbery one of the. men
proceeded to throw Thomas to the
ground and the other two began to as
sault him. In few minutes they had
beat the man until he was scarcely
able to walk. When he reached home,
instead of reporting the case to the po-
lice, Thomas secured the aid of his
two brothers and went out in search of
the hold-up men. Of course they
failed to locate them and it is probable
that the men after spending the money
secured by their raid, managed to do
away with any possible clue that
would lead to their capture.

ASKS CITY TO HELP.
Railway Company Asks City to Bear Half
the Expense of Bridge Approaches.

The City Council, through Mayor
Pfennig, has received communica.
ton from B. j. Arnold, president of
the Kenosha Electric Railway COM
pany, IN which the city is asked to
share the expense of the repair of the
approaches of the Main street bridge
on the north side of the river.
Mr.. Arnold generously proposes to
pay one-half of the expense if the city
will settle for the other half. In the
building Of the bridge the company
was directly responsible for the tear
ing away Of the approaches to the
bridge and many of the city officials
hold that the ordinance provides that
the company repair this work. The
cast of the work will be in the neigh
borhood of $500.
1t is now thought certain that the
railway company will appear before
the council in the near future and ask
for an extension of the time for the
completion of their lines IN the city.
The time limit will expire on Feb. l.,
and from the present condition of the
line it seems almost impossible for it
to be completed at that time.
The members of the City Council
state that they are tired of delay and
it is more than probable that they will
be greatly opposed to any extension of
time. The hold that Mr.. Arnold has
had ample time in which to complete
the work In Kenosha and that no
further time should be granted. The
people of the city will certainly echo
this sentiment.

NO INTEREST IN WORK.
Members of the Board of Education Pay
No Attention to Their Duties.

No Attention to Their Duties.
1t is high time that the people of the
city took some steps to secure a board
of education which would be willing to
attend to the schools of the city, for
last night for the second time in three
months there was no quorum at the
meeting of the board and it was neces-
sary for the board to adjourn.
Matters of Importance we're SEIZED
uled to come before the board at the
meeting last night but all these mat
tiers were forced to be laid over until
such time as the mem bers see fit to
answer a call for special meeting.
The board meets but once month and
it does seem as if the members could
find time to attend this one meeting.
The schools of the city are being
allowed to suffer by the negligence of
these members and something should
be done to force them to attend the
meetings or to have their places on the
board declared vacant.

WANTS A LONG WALK.
Young Kenosha Sailor Wants "a Partner to
Walk Round the United States.


E. B. zeck, of this city, a former
member of the United States Navy, is
out with an announcement looking for
companion for long walk. zeck
proposes to walk around the United
States. He makes no claims to being
a fast walker or an endurance walker,
but he seems to be of the opinion that
it would be great sport for two men to
walk from Kenosha to San Francisco,
and then back to Kenosha by way of
New York.
Young..zeck isIan athlete and his
training in the United States Navy
will probably make him amply able to
keep his part of the agreement if the
partner for the walk can be secured.
The Kenosha boy was in the United
States Navy as bugler and saw serv-
ice in the Philippines. HE'S at present
clerk IN the Garfield Hotel.
