Police of Ken0sha Have Another Chase
After an Imaginary BarthOIin
But Fail to Score.
FAILED TO ANSWER DESCRIPTION
Man Had Been Working at the Hosiery
Works Since the Day Following the
Murders and Bore Resemblance.

Another thousand dollars slipped
through the fingers Of the Kenosha
police Monday night when it was dis
covered that man thought to be
William Bartholin, wanted in Chicago
for the murder of his mother and Miss
Minnie Mitchell, would not answer the
description Of the much wanted crimi
nal.
The supposed Bartho1in had been in
Kenosha for eighteen days and he came
to the city the day after Mrs. Bartho-
lin is alleged to have been murdered.
He applied at the Chicago Rockford
Hosiery for a position and went to
work in the factory. A few days age
the men working in the same room
discovered that the new conner bore a
strong resemblance to Bartho1in and
the fact was communicated to the po-
lice. The matter was at once taken in
hand by the officers and the suspect
was closely watched.
Monday the man was given an ex-
animation and he conformed to the
description of Bartholin IN many par
ticu1ars. Like another suspect ar
rested in Kenosha, this man failed to
fill the qualifications as to height and
after a short examination the officers
were assured that he was not the man
wanted. It was strange coincidence
however, that the man tailed with
Bartholin in every way except the
height and weight. The filings Of
the teeth were the same as those of the
now famous criminal as was the scar
on the face. The face bore a striking
resemblance to the pictures of Bartho
lin, which are now being sent broad
cast over the country.
The Bartholin mystery promises to
be the mystery of the year in the
West and although the case was re-
ported to the metropolitan police near
1y three weeks ago they have not as
yet been able to find single clue te
the whereabouts of the alleged muir
derer.
1t seems evident that he has left
Chicago and every indication points to
the fact that he is somewhere in Wis.
consin. He has been alleged to have
been seen in several cities along the
lake shore and at the present time it is
declared that he is in hiding in Racine.
Chicago officials have taken little
stock in the stories of the man being
seen in the lake shore towns and they
seem to think that he has gone further
from Chicago. Two failures have not
disconcerned the Kenosha officials and
they are still wide awake and looking
for their man and if he appears in Ke-
nosha he will certainly be arrested.

Commissioners Will Sever His Connection
With the School Board.
William T. Marx, member of the
Board of Education from the Fourth
ward, announced this morning that at
the next meeting of the Common
Council he would tender his resigna-
ton as a member of the Board. Mr..
Marx is planning to change his place
of residence from the Fourth to the
Third ward and for this reason it will
be impossible for him to remain in Of
fee for longer period of time.
Mr.. Marx was elected to represent
the Fourth ward on the School Board
two years ago and his work for the
Board has been of such a nature that
he has won the entire respect of the
other members. He was the youngest
member of the Board and yet he took
an active interest in the schools and
was always ready to support the meas
ures favoring their advancement.
The resignation of Mr.. Marx will
leave vacancy to be filled by the
Council.

Bristol Telephone Company Seeking
a Union of Independent Telephone
Lines in KenOsha County.
UNION GROVE LINE PURCHASED
Line Running From Bristol to Paris Cor
ners Passes Under Management of the
Bristol Company Today.

The Bristol Telephone company has
began its mission of combining all the
independent telephone lines in the
county and deed was placed on rec.
ord this morning transferring the
holdings of the Union Grove, Paris
Corners and Bristol Telephone com.
pany in this county to the Bristol
company. This line was built some
time ago and extends from the village
of Bristol to Paris Corners, distance
of eight miles. The line, together
with all the phones in service, is
transferred to the Bristol company,
which will add it to the list of patrons
of the company at once. The consid-
GRAFTON of the deal was ten shares of
stock IN the Bristol company.
With the requirement of this line
the Bristol company secures practical
ly the last independent line in the
county which is not connected with
the phones on the company's lines. A
line runs from the county into Lake
county, ILL.,, but this line has already
been connected with the Bristol line
and it will probably be purchased later
in the year. The Bristol company
now touches almost every nook and
corner of the county, and thanks to
the directors of the company Kenosha
county has the finest system of rural
telephones known in Wisconsin or in
fact in the West. The only line in the
outside towns not uuder the direction
of the Bristol company is the line
owned by the Wisconsin Telephone
company which runs between this city
and the village of Pleasant Prairie. It
is understood that this line was built
by the big company simply as start
on a series of lines in the rural dis
tricts, but that the aggressive policy
of the Bristol company has discour-
aged the building of other lines
planned months age.
There ~ no. reason 70 u. liere tlaat II
will ever come under the management
of the Wisconsin Telephone company
as the kenosha county company has
already built a rival line to Kenosha
and it will be opened for traffic in the
next few weeks. The full list of sub
scribers to the Bristol line is a long
one and it will be sent out later in the
week when the connection between
the country and city lines are com
pleted.
AS yet there has been no effort on
the part of the rural company to secure
connection with the lines of the Wis
consin Company in this city.

RACINE VANDALS CAUGHT.
Charles Anderson and James Petersen Are
Landed in Jail After Long Chase.

Charles Anderson and James Petersen Are
Landed in Jail After a Long Chase
Charles Anderson and James Peter
sen, two Racine boys wearing good
clothes and evidently of the better sta
| ton of life, were arrested Tuesday
| night by Officer K1eunder on a charge
of disorderly conduct. They spent the
night in Jail and will be given a hear
| ing before the justice late this after
noon. The two boys came TO Kenosha
Tuesday night for a good time and
they seemed to be having it. Late in
he night they strol1ed up Milwaukee
avenue and while passing the property
of'John Harrington they noted the fact
that Harrington was building a new
cement walk which had been protected
by fence.
The boys at once decided to leave
footprints on the sands of time and
tearing down the fence they started to
walk on the fresh cement. K1eunder
saw the act of vandalism and managed
to capture one of the men. The other
one started to run and the officer turn
ing his prisoner over to another officer
gave chase.
The chase was an exciting one and
lead all the way to the electric railway
station, but Kleunder managed to keep
his man in sight and came in strong
at the finish. Both men were lodged
in Jail and they will probably be given
a fine that will prohibit vandalism by
Racine people in Kenosha in the flu
ture.

MOB AFTER A WIFE BEATER
Mat Ledunsky is Forced to Lock Himself
in Bed Room Until Rescued by Officers.

Mat Ledunsky is Forced to Lock Himself
An angry mob, consisting of the
people of the suburb known as
"Feathertown," gathered in front of
| the home of one Mat Ledunsky Tues
day evening bent on giving the man a
violent beating to repay him for an
alleged assault on his wife. Ledunsky
| fled before the mob and locked himself
in his bedroom, from which place he
was finally rescued by the Deputy
Sheriff and Sergeant Owen O'Hare
and landed in jail on charge of as
sau1t.
The home life of the Ledunskys
seems not to have been as pleasant as
it might have been and Tuesday night
one of the regular quarrels arose. Lee
dunsky claims that his wife assaulted
him with broom stick and that he
simply defended himself, but the ap-
peafance of Mrs. Ledunsky showed
that the defense had been a vigorous
one, as her head was badly cut and she
was bleeding from half a dozen
wounds. The. children ran out into
the street and called in the neighbors
to assist in subduing the husband, but
he managed to hide himself in the bed
room and escaped rough handling. He
surrendered to the officers after they
had threatened to break the door
down. Ledunsky was given a hear
ing this afternoon and the case was
continued for week.
