gard to Closing Beer Depots.

Chief Timme.Sends Out a New Edict in Re-
gard to Closing Beer Depots.
Chief Timme has issued a new order
in regard to beer depots where beer is
sold at wholesale and in the future all
of the places in the city will be forced
to close all day Sunday. For some
time the beer depots have been doing
a thriving business on Sundays and
large crowds of men gather about the
places and purchase beer by the case,
key or measure and spend the day on
the premises drinking the amber
fluid. At times it is claimed that from
fifty to sixty Italians, Polocks and
other foreigners gather round one of
the depots and make life miserable for
the people about by their boisterous
conduct.
Such a scene as this was enacted at
one of the depots near the North
Western station Sunday and a detail
of police was sent to watch the place
Two arrests were made, the men being
charged with disturbing the peace
The action Of these men forced the
chief to issue an order closing ali beer
depots On Sunday.

RECOGNITION FOR MISS BACON
Plucky KenOsha County Teacher Given a
Good Position in Waukegan.

Miss Sadie Bacon, who, as teacher
of the Walker school in the town Of
Bristol, proved herself a heroine by
carrying her pupils from a school
which had been struck by lightning,
has received recognition for her brave
act and the Board Of Education of the
city of Waukegan Monday evening de-
cided by unanimous vote to offer
Miss Bacon position in the schools of
Waukegan at salary that will be
nearly double the salary she is now
receiving.
Miss Bacon was not an applicant for
the Waukegan position, but when the
members of the board read of her
heroic conduct they at once decided to
proffer her position which she viii
accept. The friends of Miss Bacon in
Kenosha will besg1ad to know that her
bravery has been rewarded even in
this small manner.

DISAPPEARED FROM KENosHA.
Frank Zilske a Chicago Salesman Last
Seen In KenOsha ON Last Friday.

Frank Zilske, Chicago Salesman Last
Seen in Kenosha on Last Friday.
James M. Marks, president of the
James M. Marks Distilling company.
OF Chicago, came to Kenosha Monday
evening to seek some light on the dis
appearance of Frank Zilske, sales
man for the Chicago company who has
been missing for nearly a week.
Zilske was last heard of in Kenosha
last week. He came to this CITY on
Thursday to call on the trade here ana
make collections. On Friday after-s
noon he was working among the sa-
loon keepers of the city and when the
heavy rain came up late in the after
noon he was seen walking west. This
was the last heard of him.
The police of Kenosha have been
asked to make an effort to locate him
as it is alleged that he is either still in
kenosha or in the immediate neigh
borhood.
President Marks was very uncona-
municative in regard to the case and
stated to the police that Zilske had
been confidential employee of the
trm for some time. He did not know
how much money the man had col
lected in the few days before he disap-
peared but he made collections in Ra-
cine and Kenosha and possibly in
other cities. zilske lived at 202 Easr
Kinzie street, Chicago, and his wife
and family who were left behind are
very anxious to secure some trace of
him.
The missing man is we'll known to
the saloon men of Kenesha as he has
been making trips to Kenosha as a
salesman for many years. No trace of
the man can be found in Kenosha and
the police seem to think that he left
the city by Western train and he is
probably now some where in the west
ern part of the county.

Fence Saves Automobile From Plunging
Down an Embankment.
Richard We11es, treasurer of the
Badger Brass Company, had narrow
escape from serious injury shortly
after four O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
He and friend we're riding in an au-
tomobile and Mr.. We11es was operating
the machine. AT the corner OF West
Main and Rock street in turning the
machine one of the chains governing
it was broken and the machine was
practically out of the control of the
operator. 1t dashed forward and
plunged into fence which surrounds
the property of E, H. Frandsen. The
fence proved to be sufficiently strong
to stop the machine. Had the fence
broken the automobile would have run
down the embankment and it is prob
able that the operator would not have
escaped serious injury.

The hearing of divorce cases took up
a large amount of the time of the court

appearance on the part of the husband.

was limited to few brief months, was
also awarded a legal separation from
her husband, Matthias Kristensen, and
granted the custody of the one child Of
the union. Mrs. Kristensen was also
granted a1imony but the amount has
not as yet been fixed. The domestic
troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. David Linton
also occupied the attention of the court
but the matter was taken under adj
visement until next week.

ATHLETICS DEFEAT MAROONs.
Clark Grifith's Famous Team of Players
Badly Worsted by Kenosha Team.

Clark Grifith's Famous Team of Players
Badly Worsted by Kenosha Team.
One of the best games of base ball
played at Grand View park this sea-
son was played on Sunday afternoon,
when the Kenosha Athletics defeated
the Chicago Maroons by score of to
l. The winning streak of the Kenosha
team was very much in evidence, and
with Freitag in the box the home
players gave one of the most brilliant
exhibitions of baseball ever seen in
this city. The Maroons have stood at
the top of the Chicago League for
some time, but the heavy hitting Ke-
nosha team was far too much for them.
The home boys started the game
early, and in the second inning a two
base hit from Snel1e, one of the new
players, brought in two runs. In the
fourth inning two hits and brilliant
base running added another run, and
IN the fifth the Kenosha players batted
out FIVE straight hits, and added two
more runs to their column.
The final run was made in the ninth
inning, after two hits had been made.
The Maroons made their one run in
the eighth, when series of misplays
permitted Shambaugh of the visitors
to cross the plate.
Freitag pitched very pretty game,
allowing the visitors but six hits, and
striking out three men. Black, the
Chicago pitcher, struck out but two
men, and allowed the Athletics ten
hits.
The score follows:

MIXES ROMANCE AND BUSINESS
Mrs. snna M. Pegler Secures Permission to
Marry On Unique Petition.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Mrs. Anna M. Pegler, a Kenosha
business and romance and this fact
was plainly shown by petition which
she presented to the Circuit court this
morning. The petition alleged that
Mrs. Pegler was the same Anna M.
Pegler who, at the term of the court
held in January last, was divorced
from her husband, William Peg1er.
The petitioner stated further that
she was the owner of an eighty acre
farm with an encum brance Of $500.
She stated that she was not able to
work the farm herself and that the
children were SO busy making their
own living that they could not at he
present time give any care or attention
to their mother and that it was probable
that in the future they would be able
to give less care and attention.
Further the petitioner stated that she
had chance to contract a marriage
with one Ferdinand Mu1lenbach who
was willing to help her with the farm
work and assist in lifting the mort
gage and on this account she asked
that the court give her leave to wed.
After looking up the record of Mrs.
Pegler and learning that this was her
third matrimonial venture the court
decided that if the man was willing to
take the risk he would grant the petit
tition and the judgment to this effect
was duly entered.

The score by innings

The Kenosha lovers of base ball will
be glad to know that Pitcher Freitag
has decided not to go to Waupun, and
will remain in the box for the Keno
sha team. Freitag has always been a
great favorite with Kenosha crowds
and the splendid article of bali he is
playing this season has made him one
of the strongest men on the team.
Hardness, Sne1le and Taylor, the
new Kenosha players, made good, as
the fans put it, Sunday, and in them
Mgr. Alleman has greatly strength
ened the team. They seem to be about
the fastest trio outside the big leagues
to be found in this section of the
country.
Jacobson will not be missed by the
Kenosha lovers of the National game,
for Freitag is wholly capable of filing
the box and he is man who is also
able to appreciate the favors granted
to him.
Sunday afternoon some of the
friends of Gussie Freitag, the pitcher
for the Kenosha Athletics, presented
him with handsome gold watch and
chain. Michael Donahoe made the
presentation speech, and the clever
pitcher accepted the gift in few
words showing his appreciation.
Old "Cap" Kleist is getting back to
his old time form. Two runs and two
hits is good record for any man who
is playing first base.
1t took the Racine team thirteen in
nings, with Kato1l in the box, to de-
feat the Gunthers Sunday. Evidently
the Racine team is zone man team"
