gen who is in business in Kansas

AgElLETIOs MEET DEFEAT.
spaldIngs Take Came From the Kenosha
Team by a Score of to 4.


Team by Score of to 4.
Garvin, the famous Texas base ball
pitches formerly of the Chicago Amer
lean Al sociation team, made his first
appearance in Kenosha Sunday after
noon when he pitched for the Chicago
Spaldings and with the aid of Garvin
the Spaldings managed to win the
game By the narrow margin of 6 to 4.
Hug was in the box for the local team
and pitched a good game, but he was
not able to keep his hits scattered and
the Spaldings made runs enough in
one inning to place them on the right
side.
In the first inning, with one man
out, two singles and double, coupled
with an error, netted the Spaldings
four runs. With this lead they were
never headed. In the second the
Kenoshg team made two runs and in
the foiIwing inning, thanks to the
poor play of the Spaldings, they added
two more scores.
In the seventh and ninth the Spa1d-
ings. although unable to get a single
hit. managed to pull two more men
across the rubber, giving them runs
enough to win the game. Keno
sha made desperate effort to win out
in the ninth, but three men were al
lowed to die on bases, Garvin steady.

Well Known Music Teacher Expired Sud-
denly In Racine This Morning.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Fisk, for many
years music teacher in Kenosha, died
this morning at the home of her sister,
Mrs. s. c. Johnson, in Racine. While
Miss Fisk had been an invalid for
some time death came very unexpected
ly and the announcement of it will be
a great shock to the many friends of
the deceased IN Kenosha. Miss Fisk
had been residing with her sister in
Racine for the past two years but her
friends in this city had not been noti-
fed that she was seriously i'll.
Miss Fisk was a resident of Kenosha
for many years and many of Kenosha,s
most finished musicians received their
musical training from her. The de-
ceased was a daughter of the late
Serene Fisk and was about sixtv-eight
years of age. She was born in the
east but when young girl she came
to Kenosha and began her life's work
as music teacher. She continued
this work IN Kenosha until two years
ago when she was forced to give up
her students on account of i'll health.

Rev. w. w. Stevens Closes Very Successful

Rev. w. w. Stevens Closes Very Successful
Years Work at Park Ave. MI. e. Church,
The Rev. w. w. Stevens, pastor of
Park Avenue M. E. church, has gone
to Milwaukee to attend the annual
session of the Wisconsin Conference
of the church which. is in session there
this week.
Mr.. Stevens has just closed his first
year as pastor of the Kenosha church
and the year has been one of the most
successful in the history of the
church. TIE report of the minister to
the conference will show that from
every standpoint the Methodists of
Kenosha rank with the leading con-
gregations of the denomination in
Wisconsin.
There is little doubt that the Rev.
Mr.. Stevens will be returned to Ke-
nosha for another year, and there is
not a single member of the church here
who is seeking change in pastors.
The main interest in the conference
for the members of the Kenosha church
is the selection of the presiding elder
of the Milwaukee district to succeed
DR.. ID. C. John.

Fight Between William Powell and
William Schave Of Bristol May
Result in Murder.
SCHAvE CLOSE TO DEATHS DOOR
The Two Men Got Into Alright on a Load of
the Wagon by His Employer.

William Schave, farm laborer, lies
at the point of death, and William
Powell, of the town of Bristol, his en-.
ployer, fears arrest for murder.
Schave is unconscious at the Powell
home with ugly cash in his head.
from which the brain is plainly visi
BILE, and there is said to be very slight
hope of his recovery.
The alterations which led up to this
distressing state of affairs occurred
last Friday on the Barrett farm, two
miles northwest of the town of Bristol,
this county. Both men are hot-tem-
pered and when angry at each other
had threatened to do bodily IN jury sew
era1 times.
Friday Powell and the hired man
had been quarre1ing for some time
over trifling matters. They had loaded
rack with oats and hauled it to the
Barrett farm to be threshed. Both men
were standing on top of the load when
they began to swear and curse each
other. Powell struck Schave vicious
blow on the head, and before anyone
could prevent it the latter tumb led
headlong to the ground behind the
horses heels. Several men rushed to
the mans rescue, but before they could
reach him the horses took fright and
kicked him, one of them cutting
frightful cash across the fallen mans
forehead. The team then ran away
and the loaded wagon passed over the
UNCONSCIOUS mans body.
When picked up he was literally COW
cred with blood, and was believed to
be dead. He was carried into a nearby
farmhouse and DR.. Stevens of Bristol
and DR.. Teat of Salem were sum-
moned. They performed an operation
in the hope of saving his life, but are
not very sanguine of success, The
skull bone was forced together and
gold plate was placed on the inside
of the skull to protect the brain.
Schave was later removed to the
Powell house, where everything posi-
BILE is being done for him. He has not
reg aimed consciousness, and it is feared
by the physicians that complications
may set in which may result fatally.
Schave received internal in juries from
the wagon passing over him, which
adds to the gravity of the case. 70 q
Eye witnesses of the quarrel assert
that the blow given Schave by Powell
was sufficient to fell an OK, and no
body expected to see the man alive
when he was picked up. '
Powell is greatly frightened over
the tragic end of his latest quarrel with
Schave, and has ordered the doctors to
spare no expense to save the mans
life. He is being kept under close
surveillance, as it is feared he may at
tempt to escape in case a turn for the
worse ensues in the condition of the
wounded man. No arrest has been
made, though close watch is being
kept on Powell, and should he attempt
to leave the country he would be locked
up.
Powell is about IS years of age, and
is one of the most well known farmers
in Kenosha county. He has a large
family dependent upon him. He was
always known to be quick tempered, a
fact which seems to have gotten him
into serious difficulty.
The injured man is still alive, but
only slight hopes are entertained for
his recovery.

MORE SOLDIERS THAN BEFORE
Department of the Missouri Finds tt
self Gaining Numerically in
Recent Months.

The report OF the adiutant general Of the
Department OF the Missouri shows the total
strength OF the troops in this department
at this time to be 5,S14 officers and men
a larger number than has been in the de-
partment since Its reorganization and 600
more than were reported last month. Next
month the number will be increased by the
arrival of the Twenty-ffth infantry.
Major Muhlenberg, chief paymaster Of the
department, arrived in the city Sunday and
will report for duty this morning. He has
been carried on the rolls as absent on
leave, but since his return from Cuba has
been attached to the office of the paymaster
general at Washington. The arrival OF Ma
jor Muhlenberg fills every star once with
the exception Of Judge advocate, Major
John A.. Hull, who has been assigned to that
position, not having reported.
At the close Of the second day OF the pre-
liminary firing at the rife competition OF
the army, now in progress at Fort Sheridan,
Sergeant Archie Deuberry Of the Twenty
second infantry was in the lead. with one
other man from that regiment, Corporal
Foster, standing eleventh in the list. Ser
geant Oelckers of the Sixth stood NTH and
Sergeant Wey Of the engineer corps stood
eighth on the list. There are twenty eight
men from the different departments in the
competition, and 1t is now believed that the
showing OF the Department Of the Missouri
will be above the average.
Captain Barnum OF the Eighth cavalry,
enroute from West Point to Fort Riley. was
in the city yesterday.
1t is expected that General Bates and
Lieutenant Wills, who are now in Chicago,
will be absent ten days.
