James Todd, of Chicago, While SUI
fering From Nervous Prostitution.
Spends Night in the Cold.
MAY NOT SURVIVE HARDSHIPS
was Rescued IN an Unconscious Condition
by James NORM and Peter Petersen
Hands and Feet Frozen Stiff

James Todd, welI-known business
man of Chicago, who has been stop
ping in Kenosha for several weeks for
the purpose of recuperating his health,
had terrible experience Monday mig hit
and Tuesday morning with the cold. He
was found IN an unconscious condition
shortly after Z O'Clock leaning up
against a fence on the farm of James
NORM in the town of Somers. He was
brought. to this city and taken to the
home of relatives where he now lies in
critical condition and it is possible
that he will not recover.
Mr.. Todd had been suffering from
nervous prostration for some time and
a short time ago he gave up his work
in Chicago and came to Kenosha to
spend few months, hoping that rest
and quiet would restore him to robust
health. He had been stopping with
relatives on Ashland avenue and Mon
day afternoon, as was his custom,
he came down town and went to the
postohice for the mail. He was seen
on the street shortly after 4 o'clock
and was apparently going home.
1t is evident that the man wandered
all night in the cold. Failing to re-
turn to the home of his friends they ap-
pealed to the police to search for him
but no trace of the man could be
found. It was learned that he was
seen walking out Grand avenue and
the officials had just started to make a
search in Somers when Mr.. Norm
brought the unfortunate man to the
county jail.
The finding of the man at the time
was the only thing that saved him
from death. Just before O'Clock that
morning. Peter Petersen, who Is cr1-.
p1oyed on the farm of James NORM,
went out to do some work on the farm
and coming into one of the fields he
noticed man standing, or rather,
leaning against the fence. His hat
was laying on the ground near by and
the man seemed wholly unconcerned.
Petersen called Mr.. NORM and the two
carried the man to the NORM home.
BY exa aiming letters in the man.
pockets his identity was esta blished
and he was at once brought to the
city. The doctors were called to
attend him and it was discovered that
both his hands and feet were frozen
He had wandered about the farm all
night trying to secure shelter,
and in his wanderings he had fallen
over fences and other obstacles,
which resulted in his being badly
bruised in ali parts of the body.
The doctors state that it is possible
for the man to survive, but he will
probably lose several fingers from his
hands.
The man is suffering intense pain
and is constantly under the care
of physicians. The family of Mr..
Todd were with him in this city and
The wife is Frustrated by the accident.

MYSTERY IN A TRUNK.
E. C. Daley, Missing For over Montn'
Leaves His Trunk Behind.

In Justice McCarron's court this
morning, B. Geek was awarded the
possession of trunk which formerly
belonged to one E. c. Daley, who was,
up to a month ago, boarder at the
boarding house run by Mr.. Zeck.
There is something of mystery
connected with the trunk and its
owner Daley was formerly carpen-
ter and builder at E1gin, I'LL; but came
to this city late in December to work
on some buildings at Zion City. He
resided at the Garfield House here,
and shortly after the first of the year
the man disappeared, leaving behind
him a board bill amounting to eigh-
teen dollars.
The trunk had been sent to the
Western station and being dis
covered by Geek was attached by him
for he payment of the board bill. The
rank was valued at from three to four
hundred dollars, but although every
effort has been made to locate the
owner he consented to allow the trunk
to be taken for the small bill.
The general impression is that the
missing boarder met with some foul
play as he made no statements to any
of his fellow workers which would
have given the impression that he was
contemplating leaving the city. All
efforts possible have been made to To-
cate him but he has not been seen at
his former home nor has he been seen
in Kenosha. The last heard OF him
was when he left Zion City to come to
Kenosha to his boarding house.
The fact that the man has left so
va1ua bic a trunk for so small bill
shows that he is not aware of the pro-
ceedings that have been brought
against him. There is not a carpenter
in the city but what would be willing
to pay two hundred dollars for the con-
tents of the mans trunk. The police
will make an effort to get some further
light on the trunk and it's owner.

HORSE rs RECOVERED.
George Kirk Secures His Horse by the Pay
ment of Only $40 in Rewards.

George Kirk is on his way from Chi
cago and he is bringing with him the
horse which was stolen from his stable
in the town of Pleasant Prairie more
than a week ago. Mr.. Kirk was ex-
ceeding1y lucky to secure the horse
again but he got the animal by the
payment of very small reward. Kirk
had offered reward of $125 for the
recovery of the property and the cap
ture of the thieves, but as the thieves
managed to escape the detectives who
secured the horse turned it over to the
owner on the payment of $40 and the
liveryman charged a like sum for the
care of the animal during its stay in
Chicago.
The surrey stolen at the same time
the horse was taken is still missing
but Mr. Kirk is making an effort to re-
cover the vehicle on his way home
from Chicago.

Petition is Filed in Kenosha County Court
Seeking a Guard1anshtp:For Child.

The fight for Chester Andrews Pet
erson will probably be transferred
from Racine to Kenosha, as petition
has been filed in the County court by
Ellsworth Neil and his wife, Stella
Neil, asking that they be appointed
guardian of Chester Andrews. The
petition was filed some time ago and it
is now stated that Neil, the petitioner,
will ask that it be acted upon.
The petition brings out something
new in regard to the case as it alleges
that the little boy whose custody has
been the cause of so bitter a fight in
both the Circuit and Supreme courts
of the State is a son of one Stevens,
whose wherea bouts are now unknown.
This allegation has been made to COM
bat the claim of Peterson, that he was
the father of the child.
Judge S1osson has set no time for a
hearing on the petition and, in fact, he
is very much opposed to mixing up in
the matter He will take no action
in the case until the matters now
pending in the courts of Racine county
have been settled.

OBITUARY..

1t has pleased our Heavenly Father
to call home so suddenly from our
home circle our loving father, William
James Melville, whose death occurred
Saturday afternoon, Jan. IS, 1902, at
500 o'clock at his home in Russell,
Lake Co., where he was born on the
27tn day of March, 1849. In the be-
reaved family household there is va
cant chair, a silent voice, the home
ties are broken, but then our loss is
Heavens gain; for a faithful life
never ends IN death.
Therefore, we extend to the bereaved
wife and children of the loved one IN
their darkest hour of sorrow and sad
ness, when their hearts are over
whelmed with grief, our sincere sym
pat1y, and commend them to the care
Of the all-wise Father, who doeth all
things we'll. A wife and eight chill
dren are left to mourn the loss of a
husband and father.
The Rev. Mr.. Bentho1, pastor of the
Baptist church at Russell, conducted
the funeral services at the home and
church. The choir sang very impress
sively the following songs: "They
Are Waiting at the Door," "Take Me
as Ann" and sometimes Well I'm
derstand." The remains were in
tered in Oakdale cemetery.
God sheds soft drops of pity
On sorrows bleeding heart,
But keeps His all-wise motive
From mortals eyes apart.
We know not why, this sorrow
Has fallen on us now
Although we see the radiance
From Gods all-peaceful brow
We all must bide in patience
Until that last last day,
When He in all His glory
Will roll the clouds away.
IT'S then, ah, mother and loved ones,
We all may see it fair,
Why God removed our loved one
TO dwell in brightness there.
LOVED ONE.

CHRIS KNAPP MISSING.
Police are Asked 30 Search For Well
Known North-Sider.

The police of the city have been ask
ed to seek the whereabouts of Chris
Knapp, driver employed at the N. R.
Aliens tannery, who disappeared two
days ago, and has not as yet been To-
Gated. Knapp resided with his mother
at 534 Jenne street, and he has not
been at his home since last Friday
morning. His friends report that he
was about the city Friday evening,
but since that time no trace of the
man can be found. The officials made
a search gfor him yesterday but it is
not thought that he is in Kenosha.
Police officers in other cities have been
notified that Knapp is missing. The
missing man is about thirty years of
age and has always borne good rep
utstion. There seems no reason to
suspect foul play and Knapp will prob
ably turn up in due time.

UNIQUE COLLECTION.

A press clipping bureau in New
York has just completed collection
of newspaper clippings for Senator
M. A. Hanna covering everything
printed in the editorial columns of the
press of the United States and Eng
land relating to the death Of William
Mckinley. No king or uncrowned
ruler ever received so many tributes of
love and esteem, not only from the
press of his own country, but from all
over the world. This remarkable col
lection covers $4,000 editorial com
ments on the death of the late Presi-
dent, and is mounted on heavy gray
card board and bound in four volumes
in full morocco. A more appropriate
and pleasing memorial of our mar
tyred President could not we'll be de-
vised.

FRANK HoLDERNEss INJURED
knocked From a Box Car Saturday, But is
Able to be Out Again.

Frank Ho1derness, we'll known enl-
ploye Of the Balm Wagon company,
met with a painful injury last Satur-
day while attending to his duties at
the yards of the company. Mr.. Hol-
derness was assisting in unloading a
car of iron. In some manner one of
the heavy bundles of iron slipped and
fell, and striking him knocked him out
of the car. The young man fell be-
tween the car and a wagon, which was
standing near, and his head struck on
the car door.
Mr.. Holderness was picked up in an
unconscious condition and taken to
the office of the company. He speedily
regained consciousness and was taken
to his home on Washington Island.
His injury, while painful, is in no way
dangerous, and he was able to be about
the streets today.
The report that Mr.. Ho1derness's
skull had been fractured in the fall
was without foundation.

ming shortly after S O'Clock at the
family residence on North street. She
had been i'll but a few hours, death re-
sulting from acute peritonitis.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of this young woman were most
unusual. For some time she had been
employed at one of the departments at
the Chicago -Rockford Hosiery works
and Monday morning she started from
her home for work. She seemed in
perfect health and on the way to the
factory she Chatted pleasantly with the
other girls. AS she was nearing the
friends, a Miss Link, and with a smile
said, Il am going to die today The
girl passed the remark off with a
laugh but when Miss Ziesemer reached
the factory she started towards her
bench, She had gone but short dis
tance when she fell as if in faint.
The other girls gathered her up tender
carrifge. She fingered in a semi
unco nscious condition until S o'clock.
Ikis said among the young women at
the factory that Miss Ziesemer had
several times in the past predicted her
death and the truthfu1ness of the pre-
dictioa created considerable comment
among the young ladies.
| The deceased was born in Somers,
August 10, 1886. Most of her life had
been spent in Kenosha. She was a
young woman of cheerful disposition
and this made her great favorite
with er friends.

German Lutheran church next Friday
afternoon and the rem aims will be in
TERED at the city cemetery.

late Richard Larner, of his city, died
at her home in Detroit, Mich, Monday
evening. Mrs. Daily had been i'll for
some time and for several weeks her
condition had been such as to cause
the gravest fears among her friends.
On account of her condition she had
not been notified of the death of her
father which occurred few days ago.
Mrs. Daily was we'll known in Ke-
nosha, having resided here for several
years. The husband is the sole sur
viving mem Der of the family.

was not unexpected. The deceased
was 9 years of age. She was a general
favorite in the neighborhood and her
sad death has caused great deal of
sorrow. The funeral was held from
ST. Georges church on Wednesday
morning and the remains were in
TERED in the family plat at ST. Georges
