OScEOLA ACTIVITY.
Twenty Stamp Mill Started
There Last Saturday.


There Last Saturday.
The twenty stamp mill situated on
the Star claim at Osceola was started up
last Saturday by Jas. H. Marriott and
C. v. Gilmer on ore from the Wood
man mine with every prospect of a
prosperous season.
This mill Is part OF the property sold
here at Sheriff sale In February last by
virtue Of an execution in case In
which John r. Powell OF Plymouth,
Pa, was plaintiff and e. W. Marple of
Wilkes.Bsrre, Pa, as trustee for the
stockholders of the old company, was
defendant. The property was bid In
for Mr.. Powell by VIM. L. Raeder, an
attorney OF Wilkes-Barre, and 1t is
understood Mr.. Marriott is now opera
ting the mill as the representative OF
the new purchaser.
Under competent management the
mill, which has lain idle for a long
time, will, without doubt. shortly be-
come source OF revenue for its owners,
and. at the same time, it will be a ben
eft to the people of the camp, as 1t will
encourage claim owners to renewed &C.
tivity In the getting out OF ore.

GLASGOW AND WESTERN.
Shaft In Star Mine st Cherry
Greek Is Being Re. timbered.

A force OF men is ut work this week
retimbering the shaft in the Star mine
at Cherry Greek from the tunnel leve
to the surface. After two yeIrs OF in
activity by the Glasgow and Western
Exploration Company, during whic h
time not word could be learned as to
their future intentions, the fact that
this improvement has been commenced
is regarded as hopeful sign aud i il
believed that the differences which
have apparently existed among the
Scottish stock holders are In fair way
to reach a settlement.
The resumption OF work in the Star
would stimulate others to activity and
hasten the day when Cherry Creek q
rich mineral deposits will attract the
attention OF mining men in all parts OF
the country.

NEW DEMAND FOR LOTS.

Cooper Underwear Co.'s New Factory Ad-
vances Value of Property on West Side.
A new boom for the Balm Subdivis-
ion has been started by the announce
ment that large plant will be erected
in the subdivision by the Cooper I'm
derwear Co. The plans for the erec-
ton of the factory are as yet incom-
p1ete, but full statement of the plans
will be given out during the coming
week. The factory will be one of the
largest in the city and it's erection will
advance the value of all the property IN
the subdivision All the lots now on
sale in the subdivision are within
three minutes walk of the site of the
new factory.
This decided boom in West side real
estate has not resulted in any increase
in the price of the lots. If you are
seeking a profitable investment that
will yield hundred fold within three
years see E. r. Head at the News of
fee and get one of the few remaining
lots in this factory subdivision.

Joseph Gibbs Seized With an Epileptic Fit
and Ealls Through Window.
Joseph Gibbs, Polish resident of
the North side, was picked up in a
semi-unconscious condition on Milwau-
kee avenue by the police Saturday
evening. The man had fallen on the
street while suffering from epilepsy.
In his fall Gibbs struck one Of the big
windows in the Irving blacksmith shop
on Milwaukee avenue and the window
broke with a crash, cutting the hands
and arms of the man in a painful man
ner.
AS soon as the man had been taken
to the jail doctors were called and
dressed the wounds. He was sufi-
GENTLY recovered on Sunday afternoon
to return to his home. Gibbs is said
to be subject to attacks of epilepsy.
His friends made good all the damage
done to the blacksmith shop windows,
and no charge was placed against the
unfortunate man.

FACTORIES MUST PAY.
Fire Department Trustees Decide to Go

Fire Department Trustees Decide to Go
After Stipend With Ungloved Hands.
Kenosha factories, who, on account
of the raise in rates by the old line
companies, have transferred their in
surance business to the Mutual COM
panies, will be forced to pay to the city
the two per cent allowed the fire de-
partment for it's support.
This was the decision reached at the
quarterly meeting of the trustees of
the fire department at the city hall
Monday night and in the near future
the managers of the factories will re-
ceive demand from the department to
settle these claims. If the settlement
is not forth coming the trustees will
institute suit to collect the amounts
due.
Some'months ago all the old line
companies announced a large increase
in their rates for factory buildings and
with this increase the managers of the
factories at once placed large lines
with the Mutual companies which do
not fall under the Wisconsin laws. In
this, manner the two per cent of the
premiums due the department has
been lost to the department. So great
has this detection been that fully one
half of the income from this source has
been cut off and the entire amount re-
ceived this year will not exceed $500,
while last year it reached the thousand
mark. This two per cent must be paid
by the factories or they must see to it
that the companies not doing business
in the State pay the amount.
The fight for the collection promises
to be an interesting one and it will
afford precedent for other cities in
the State to act on.

George Lucas Disappears From Ke-
nosha Friday Afternoon Under
Peculiar Circumstances.
ne WENT TO RIDE ON AN ENGINE
Placed wife on the West Bound Train and
Agreed to Join Her at salem.-No Clue
Can be Found by Officials

The little village Of Salem in the
western part of the county is strug
Cling with real sensation, for George
Lucas, the keeper Of the grog shop in
the town, has mysteriously disappeared
and the efforts of his wife, his friends
and incidentally of the sheriff and his
deputies to locate the man have been
without any effect.
Lucas seems to be gone and the two
or three hundred dollars which repre-,
sented the savings of himself and
wife from the saloon business, seem to
have gone with him. Lucas was last
seen in Kenosha last Friday afternoon.
He and his wife had been in town do
ing some trading and they had ar
ranged to return to Salem on the
afternoon train.
Both were on the station platform
when the train was leaving and Lucas
tenderly placed his wife in the car
and then startled her by the announce
ment that he had been asked to ride
on the engine to Salem, and being a
thrifty man ne had decided to accept
the invitation. Mrs. Lucas was a
trusting wife and she thought little
more of the incident but when she
arrived at Salem and found that her
husband did not ride on the engine
she began to think that she d been
told co1lywobble story and that her
husband had deceived her in order to
spend a night with the boys in town.
When Lucas failed to return to his
home on Saturday Mrs. Lucas came to
Kenosha and instituted a search for
him. The search did pot result sue
cessfu1ly and late Saturday afternoon
the woman told her story to the police
and the sheriff and asked their aid in
the matter. At the time of the disap-
pearance of Lucas his wife states that
he had between two and three hun
dred dollars in his pocket and that the
money was badly needed to pay some
bills in connection with the saloon
business in Salem.
Today a deputy sheriff went to Sa-
lem to place an attachment on the
stock in the saloon to secure the pay
ment of bill due to one of the brew
cries, and it is probable that other
creditors will take a similar action.
Mrs. Lucas does not think that her
husband has met with foul play but on
the other hand she seems to think that
he has abandoned her and has run
away with another woman. She
claims that he was little too fond OF
a woman named Alice Davis, and
strange to say Miss Davis is also miss,
ing from Salem.
The village is considerably worked
up over the disappearance of the two
people and the police are being urged
to use every effort to locate them. II
is not thought that either of the miss
ing people are in Kenosha.

Racine High School Team Defeats College
of Commerce Team.
The foot ball season in Kenosha was
given an suspicious opening in Keno
sha last Saturday afternoon when the
Racine High school team defeated the
team of the College of Commerce by a
score of eleven to nothing. The Ke-
nosha team made splendid showing
against the Racine players, and the
game was credit to them considering
the fact that the team had been organ
lied less than a week.
1t was an old fashioned foot ball
crowd that witnessed the game, and
some Of the old time enthusiasm was
very much in evidence. Racine came
down sixty strong IN a special car and
ali the rooters we're we'll armed with
horns and strong lungs aud both were
used to good advantage. The crowd
was increased by some two hundred
Kenosha people. Racine scored a
touchdown in each half but the Ke-
nosha boys held the heavy team in a
remarkable manner and from the APP
pearence of the two teams larger
score was expected. A return game
will be played at Racine on October
18th. The following is the line up of
the two teams:

RAIN DOES DAMAGE
Torrent of Rain Breaks Record for Rain
fall In the city Sunday Afternoon

fall In the City Sunday Afternoon
One of the most severe rain and
electric storms ever known in this sec
ton of the State passed over Racine
and Kenosha county Sunday after
noon and evening, and as result of
it considerable damage was done. In
Kenosha the rain fell in torrents and
for an hour it seemed as if water
spout had broken loose just over the
city.
The streets and the cutters we're
filled with water, and complaints from
many parts of the city state that eel
lars were filled. It is estimated that
fully three inches of water fell during
the four hours that the rain continued.
The rain was so heavy that pedes-
TRANS were practically driven from the
streets. The farmers residing about
great dealof damage to both the corn
and potato crops. The great amount
of water has made it impossible to dig
the potatoes and many of them will
probably be allowed to rot in the
ground.
The corn is also badly injured on
account Of the fact that the water has
made it mou1dy and it will probably be
several days before the farmers will be
able to put acorn cutting machine IL
tbs fields. The little streams about
the city andlcounty are filled to their
capacity and the water is overlooking
to the surrounding land.
The rain was accompa MED by ter
rife electric storm and during the con-
tinuance of the thunder and lightning
two buildings were struck by lightn-
ing. The home of Gus Kraft on Pearl
street. was struck shortly after five
O'Clock and the FIRE department re-
sronded to still alarm. The services
of the fremen were not needed as the
building did not catch fire.
The lightning also struck the Ca1k.
ms building at the corner of Market
and Main street, and so strong was
the electric current that the brass in
the switch board of the Office of the
Postal Telegraph company, which is
located in the building, was melted in
places. The operator of the company
was in the building at the time and
was stunned by the force of the light
ming. No material damage was done to
either of the buildings.
