ANNOUNCEMENT.
TO the voters of Kenosha county:

To the voters of Kenosha county:
Having been requested by several of
my friends to enter the field for the
Office of County uperintendent Of
Schools, have decided to make the
canvas and hereby announce myself a
candidate for the nomination at the
next Republican County convention.
In presenting myself to the public,
my claims for recognition are based on
my record IN public school work and
on my standing as a citizen.
Besides having made careful prepare
ton for school work, have had four
teen. years experience as teacher in the
public schools, three of which were as
principal at Wilmot and one as princi-
pal at Pleasant Prairie. In addition
to my public school work, / have
served as instructor IN summer schools
for teachers, serving as such in Will
mot, in 1899.
Should the Republicans Of Kenosha
county honor me with the nomination
will do all in my power to make the
election in November their victory.
Soliciting the aid of my old friends
and trusting that may secure the
support of many with whom have not
had the pleasure of meeting I am
Respectfully yours,
F. G. GOWN.

State Official Did Not Know That
Game Laws Were Being Violated
in Kenosha County.
THE GOVERNOR ALSO DISTRESSED
AND Promised to Give His Immediate At
den to Be Sent to the County.

Governor Robert M. La Toilette and
State Game Warden Overlook, of
Madison, have sent letters to the
sportsmen in Kenosha who recently
complained of the manner in which
the game laws were being violated and
a new warden will be sent to the county
at once to look into the matter, and if
possible arrest the perpetrators of
crimes against the game laws. The
letter from Governor La Toilette
states that he is greatly surprised to
hear that the warden in charge of the
work in this part of the county has not
been attending to his duties and gives
assurance that the matter will be
looked into at once. The State Game
Warden also expresses surprise and
states that he has already sent a man
to this part of the State to enforce the
laws. The gentleman in question was
IN kenosha for one day, but he evil
IDENTIFY did not get on the track of any
OF the violators of the law, as no ar
rests have been made, and it is stated
lie
The sportsmen declare that Warden
Pugh of Racine, who is in charge of
the First District, has made but one
visit to Kenosha County since his APP
pointment, and the dockets of the JUS
tice Court fail to show that he has
been the complaining witness in
single case for violation of the game
laws.
In their letter to the Governor the
Kenosha men intimated that Pugh had
been too busy in looking after the poll
tics in this part of the State, but the
return letters declare that Mr.. Pugh is
not expected to do anything but his
duty as Game Warden. The fact that
the State Warden has ordered another
man to come to Kenosha county seems
to be an evidence that Mr.. Z 1gh is a
little too busy at the present time to
do anything in the line of the work of
his Office.
In the meantime the slaughter of the
game in Kenosha county continues un-
abated, and the violators of the law
are evidently in no fear of arrest or
punishment. The game is becoming
very scarce, and when the open season
comes and the man who is in favor of
the enforcement of the law shoulders
his gun and goes out to hunt, he will
find nothing but empty nests, the
birds having all been killed by illegal
hunters.
1t is to be hoped that tie solicitude
expressed by the Governor for the we'll
fare of Kenosha county will result in
more rigid enforcement Of law.
