the estate will again touch Dowie's
hands unless the property is granted to
him by the court.
Sutton was formerly follower of
"Elijah, the Restorer." Before his
death his infatuation for the tenets of
Zion, led him to will to Dowie, as the

ITCH MUST RUN.

Democratic County Committee PIacesHim
ON Ticket for Register of Deeds
Although John G. Tigh, of the town
of Brighton, refused to accept the nora
ination for Register of Deeds at the
hands of the Democratic County Con-
vention last Tuesday, the committee is
determined that Tigh shall make the
run for this Office, and to this end
they have decided to place him on the
ticket and trust to his loyalty to party
principles to stick. Tigh is said to be
the strongest man in the Democratic
party in the Western part of the
county, but many people doubt as to
the ability of the committee to force
him to accept the nomination.
John B. Zievers has declined the
honor of the nomination for Coroner
and it is probable that DR.. Paul Malm-
strom will be substituted. DR.. Malm-
strom has always been considered a
Republican, but he states that he has
for some time been in sympathy with
Democratic principles and he will &C
cept the nomination if it is rendered
him by the County Committee.

SAD End OF FIVE FOXES.
Woodwork Pets Escape and Play Havoc
with Chicken Coop.

Last spring in proper season a den
of foxes was found near Woodwork
consisting of the old pair and an in
teresting family Of six young ones.
One of the old ones was captured with
a rifle ball and five of the young ones
were taken alive, leaving the mother
and one young one to enjoy their free
dom and thrive on the plentiful game.
A fine artificial den, provided with
many conveniences, was constructed
for the good little foxes and a good,
large space was enclosed with poultry
netting so that the little foxes could
see out in every direction and many
visitors could see the foxes in their
new home. The five little foxes -four
ished amazingly on sweet milk and
tread and scraps from the table and
grew to be big foxes.
However, on last Wednesday night
they formed plot to escape to their
native wilds and four of the FIVE
gained their freedom. The nearest
place they could find poultry was at
the yards of Frank Roberts. In the
Silly night, moon and stars shining
brightly, they found three mother hens
with three broods of chicks some six
weeks old and fine little fellows they
were. All preparations were made for
them to go to 1enosha Friday to spend
the rest Of their days and lay eggs for
a Kenosha family. But when the sun
arose on Thursday morning it shone
only on one hen and one solitary little
chick. The four good foxes had en-
joyed the most glorious feast of their
lives.
Before eight O'Clock of the same
morning three rifle balls sped their
way into the skulls of three foxes and
later they lost their furs and found
their graves.

Rambler Carriages Win High Honor in the
Great Eastern Endurance Contest.
Four blue ribbons were won by the
Thomas B. Jeffrey comp any of this city
in the great Eastern endurance con-
test for automobiles which was held in
New York during the week just past.
In the contest all the standard makes
were entered and every carriage en-
tered by the Keuosha company re-
ceived ribbon.
The distance was five hundred miles,
the route being from New York to
Boston and return. Every one of the
Jeffery carriages made the required
speed of fourteen miles al hour. The
Oldsmobile company had four car
riages entered in the contest, but this
company received but two ribbons.
No company in the country made a
better showing in the big event than
the kenosha company made.

in connection with the sinking of this

months, while hostilities were going
on. The details of the work when

report of the engineers:
Having completed all our prepara
