DonIey-Schroeder Company Plan to
Increase Their Plant and Other
Cities Seek to Locate 1t.
CARTER PLANT BEING CONSIDERED
Kenosha Men May Join with Chicago Tan
ners in the Building up or Big Bust
ness -Muskegon Offers Bonus.

The Donley- Schroeder tannery.whose
plant was badly Quilted by fire on last
Sunday evening, may remove from
Kenosha and at present the members
Of the firm are receiving letters from
many other cities asking that the firm
move the plant. Freeport, Elgin,
Muskegon and half dozen other
towns ia Michigan, Wisconsin and
Illinois have sent letters to the man
ayers OF the firm offering Inducements
for the change in location but the fact
that both the managers Of the COM
pany are Kenosha men has led them
to prefer to remain here rather than to
GO to some other city. The plant of
the Carter Manufacturing company
has been offered 70 the company and
the managers are considering the pur.
chase of it. When the company moves
into new quarters it is the intention to
make quite an enlargement of the
plant. At present the plant is small
concern employing in the neighbor-
hood of twenty men but the output of
the plant since it was founded has
been large one and the product has
met with good market. Since the
plant was damaged by FIRE union was
proposed to the managers by the man
ayers Of tannery in Chicago engag-
ed in the manufacture of similar
product and the men interested in the
Chicago company will come to Keno.
sha next week to look after. the plans
for the business. There seems to be
every reason to believe that the plant
will in short time grow to be one of
the largest plants making glove leath-
er in this part of the country. The
capital stock is to be increased from
that of few thousand dollars to SIS,
600 and the new plant will. be an up
to-date tanning establishment.
Tanneries of this sort have proved
of great benefit to cities and could the
tanuery be located on the edge of the
city ii would undoubtedly grow into
quite an industrial addition to the city
in few years.
The city of Muskegon has offered
the Kenosha men bonus of hundred
dollars for every man employed and
while the managers have asked moth
ing from the people of the city there
is little doubt but that the tannery
will be moved if the people here have
nothing to offer in the way of an in
ducement to resume. The Carter plant
is the only dead plant in the city and
should it be converted into tannery
and the Chicago business brought
here it would prove of greater value
to Kenosha in the future than it ever
did in the past.

FIRST DEATH AT HOSPITAL.
Zigmund Jenoskofski Dies at the Hospital
After Short Illness.

Zigmund Jenoskofski Dies at the Hospital
After Short Illness.
The black wreaths of death were
hung out at the Kenosha hospital for
the first time on Monday afternoon
when zigmund Jenoskofski, a Russian,
expired after week of treatment in
the institution.
The man had been in this country
but two months and shortly after his
arrival in Kenosha had been seized
with an attack of gangrene of the
bowels. He was removed to the hospi-
tai shortly after it was opened on last
Monday and had been in critical con-
dition ever since. There was no hope
for his recovery when he was taken to
the institution but it was decided to
take him ,there in order that his last
days might be made as comfortable
as possible. The deceased was
forty one years of age, and is survived
by widow and two children, who are
now residing in Russia.

ADMITS WILL TO PROBATE.
Last Will and Testament of the Late Mary
Eliza Gibbs Admitted This Afternoon.

Last Will and Testament of the Late Mary
Eliza Gibbs Admitted This Afternoon.
The last will and testament of the
late Mary Eliza Gibbs was admitted to
probate in the County court this after
noon and ]. A. Rowbottom, of Bristol,
was named as administrator of the es-
tate with the will annexed.
1t was expected that a protest to the
admission of the will would be made
by Mrs. Harriet Moore, of Milwaukee,
one of the legatees under the will, but
her attorneys, Carroll & Carroll,
declined to make any objections to the
probate Of the will more than to object
to the manner iii which dispositions
were taken. The attorney stated that
it was most material that the sanity Of
Mrs. Gibbs at the time of the making
of the will be shown and Attorney
Cavanagh, who represented the propo-
nent of the will, offered to allow any
objections and even to allow the will
70 be thrown out Of court.
1t is held that if the will was thrown
out of court Mrs. Moore would receive
nothing from the estate as she was an
adopted daughter and the papers for
the adoption were never properly filed
with the court.

ROAD CONTEST ON.
Owners Of Property In Town of somers De-
mand More Damages.


Samuel T. Rice, Carrie Bain Hovt
aud Frances Newell have filed peti.
ton with the County court asking for
the appointment of a commission TO
make awards of damages in connec-
ton with the opening of the new road
in the town of Somers extending
through the. property owned by the
parties signing the petition. The FL.
ing OF the petition is thought to pres.
age hard fight against the opening
OF the road unless damages much
larger than assessed at the present
time are allowed to the petitioners.
The county Judge will hear the case on
next Friday and at that time a com.
mission will be appointed to have
charge of the opening of the road.
The road is designed as continue.
ton of Rowland avenue and extends
north through the Balm and Rice farms
to the Burlingto ton road. The members
OF the town board of the town of
Somers have had the matter before
them for many weeks and at a recent
meeting a resolution was passed de.
claring IN favor of opening the road.
The town board assessed the damages
to the two farms at six hundred dollars
evenly divided. The property is
valued in the neighborhood of thous-
and dollars an acre and it is said that
it will cut about an acre and a half off
each farm in order to open the road to
the proper width. In their petition
the owners of the property have not
made any specific demand for damages
but it is said that they will demand
from the commission more than double
the amount awarded them by the town
board.
The town board insists that the
opening of the road will be a benefit
rather than damage to the property in
question as it will permit the owner to
subdivide the farms into ciry lots and
sell them at great profit. The build.
ing of the road will also open the way
for other farms now lying in the towr
OF Somers and practically out of reach
OF the city to be laid off in town lots
and as the growth of the town has been
toward the north and west it is held
that the opening of the road will more
than double the value of this property.
Nearly all the farmers in the town of
Somers are in favor of the opening of
this road and from this fact it is thought
that the members of the town board
will be ready to fight the issue to the
bitter end.

Deputy Game Warden Reinardy Gets
Busy and Arrests Three Men for
Violations OF the Laws.
ONE PAYS FINE FOR NO GAME.
William Mcbride of Chicago Frank Hahn
In Meshes of Game Warden Sunday.

Deputy Game Warden Charles Rein
ardy got busy on Saturday and Sun
day and as a result three sportsmen
were pulled into the meshes of the net
set for violators of the game laws and
the exchequer of the state was made
the richer by some eighty dollars.
The three men were all arrested in the
neighborhood of Camp Lake and two
of them were residents Of Wisconsin.
The first man to fall under the eagle
eye Of the deputy Warden was William
Mcbride of Chicago. Mcbride had ar
rived at Trevor late Saturday after
noon and had gone out to Camp Lake
to spend Sunday fishing. He didn't
get any fish but under the direction
Of Justice Blum he paid fine of ten
dollars. Mcbride was fishing with
line and had just baited four hooks
and started to set the lire when the
game warden arrived and took him in
TO custody. When arrested the man
gave his name as VIM. j. Bryman but
the officer had no trouble il finding his
real identity and In proving case
against him. Mcbride managed to get
little satisfaction by fishing all day
Sunday with hook and line but 1t
isn't thought that he got ten dollars
worth of fish.
The second arrest was made on
Camp Lake Sunday morning when
Frank Hahn of Trevor was arrested
on charge of hunting ducks in boat
on the open lake. Hahn was out in
the middle of the lake driving up the
ducks and seemed to be having first
class sport. The law specially pro-,
vides against such hunting and by the
amendments made at the last session
of the legislature this practice of dri-
wing up game was specifically prohi-
bited.
Hahn was brought to the city Monday
morning and arraigned before Justice
Sturges. He paid the minimum fine
of twenty-five dollars and costs.
The last arrest was that of r. Tyn-
dali of Burlington who was arrested on
Sunday afternoon on a charge of
shooting ducks on the open lake. His
offense was identical with that of
Hahn and he received the same fines.
The fines with the costs amounted to
$3O.74.
Deputy Reinardy is making good in
his position and since his appointment
he has kept the illegal hunters and
fishers pretty busy. He has made al
most q score nf arrests and in every
case the men have been found guilty.
Many of the better sportsmen of the
county are pleased to see the laws in
this regard enforced and Reinardy is
coming in for his share of the credit.
Game is not very plentiful in the
county and the slaughters that are be-
ing planned by Chicago hunters
would soon put an end to shooting in
the county.

MAY ABANDON FEDERATION.
Big Split Is Expected Among Woman's
Clubs of the State.

Clubs of the State.
There is every reason to believe that
there will be a break in the State Fee
deration of Woman's clubs as result
of the trouble at the Appleton conven-
ton last week, and instead of there be-
ing State Federation there will be
District and City Federations, and the
plans of Miss L. E.. Stearns of Milwau-
kee to redistrict the state will fall
through.
That there are certain clubs which
fear the district federations is certain
and in ~ First and Tenth Congress
siona1 Districts these federations are
powerful and all conventions are sue
cessful, more so than the state con-
ventions at which on two separate oc-
casions there have been disputes
made public which gained considerable
notoriety Such scenes as at the APP
pleton convention when Mrs. Mary
Kincaid, Milwaukee Newspaper wo-
man, claimed to have been insulted by
Miss L. A. Stearns, are never known
at district conventions.

Burglars Break Into Congress Hall But
Fall to Get Iuto the Bar Room.

Burglars Break Into Congress Hall But
Fail to Get Into the Bar Room.
Congress Hall on North Chicago
street was the scene of an early morn-
ing burglary this morning but the
burglars were evidently frightened
away from the place and they failed to
secure any booty. The men affected
an entrance to the place by removing
one of the rear windows leading into
the dance hall. 1t is supposed that
they entered the >hall shortly after
midnight. No sound was heard in the
hall but while the men were attempt
ing to force an entrance in the bar
room it seems that they were fright.
ened away and they left without get
ting into that part OF The building.
1t is not thought that they secured
any thing for their trouble as there
was nothing in the dance hall that
could be converted into money and it
is not thought that they molested any
OF the property stored in the hall. The
matter was referred to the police this
morning and an effort is being made
TO secure clue which will result in
the arrest of the men guilty. Local
talent is suspected and several of the
old crooks who have been hanging
about the streets for several DAYS past
are being closely watched by the
officers.

NEW DIRECTORY OUT.
New List of Wisconsin Telephone rs Sub
scribers Issued This Morning.

New List of Wisconsin Telephone Co.. SUBJ
scribers Issued This Morning.
There are FIVE hundred and seventy
six telephone patrons in the city. This
is shown by the new directory of the
Wisconsin Telephone company which
was issued this morning. The new
directory is a very interesting little
book and shows that the use of the tel
ephone is rapidly becoming universal
in Kenosha. Several hundred names
have been added to the list of subscrib.
ers since the last directory was issued.
The fact that Kenosha is beginning to
put on city airs is shown by the fact
that the directory is no longer mere
folder but it is a neat book Of twenty
pages. It contains lot of interesting
telephone information including as it
does list of all the toll stations reach
ed by the lines of the company. 1t al
so contains list Of the FIRE alarm box
es in the city and list of the practic-
ing physicians in town. Several of
the numbers in the directory have been
changed so that the patrons will have
to look close at the directory to find
the right number.

GRAFTON in the supreme court of the
state and his attorney, Wallace ingalls,,
announced on Saturday evening that
the case would be taken to the higher
court as soon as Judge Williams
had refused a new trial of it in the
lower courts.
On Saturday afternoon Judge Will
iams, in the Circuit court at Milwau-
kee. heard the arguments for new
trial in the case. The plaintiff was
represented by Wallace Ingalls, and
the defendants by James Cavanagh
and Jacob Xroncke. The same ques-
tons which had come up during
the trial ere brought out in the
argument OF the new trial and while
Judge Williams has taken the case
under advisement it is thought that the
motion will be denied. This will pave
the way for the case to go to the SUI
preme court. Should the motion be
granted the case will be heard again
by Judge Williams at the next term of
the Circuis court.
Brinsley, it is said, is prepared to
fight for vindication and will not give
up the fight as long IS there is any
chance to carry the case along. At
the last term of the Circuit court the
evidence was pretty well threshed out
and Judge Williams directed the jury
to bring averdict for the defendants.
The attorney for Brinsley claims that
the Supreme court will never uphold
the rulings of the lower court and that
the case will be sent back for trial.
The costs IN the case thus far have
been cons tderable ard they must be
paid by the plaintiff in the action be-
fore the case can be taken into the
higher court.

ONE ON ST. JOE.
Michigan Couple From Famous Marrying
Town Get spIiced iii Kenosha.

Kenosha's marrying parsons are in
fine fettle today, and they can be
seen rolling the blessed morsel of
news over to themselves all over the
city. It is all on account of the fact
that on Sunday night weddirg
couple came from ST. Joe to Keno IA
to get married.
Years ago this was common occur
renee, but when the hard-hearted Leg
islature passed law restricting mar
riages in Wisconsin to a FIVE days no.
tice, the little village of ST. Joe began
to take the business of Kenosha, and
since that time she has so distanced
Kenosha as a Gretna Green that old
Southport appears as a mere speck on
the matrimonial horizon.
This increase in the marrying bust
ness became so great in St. Joe that
one of the Kenosha ministers couldn't
stand the strain of departing business
and he moved to ST. Joe and got into
the game again. Hundreds Of couples
have gone from Kenosha 70 St. Joe,
but there was more rejoicing over the
one that returned that there was sad
ness for all that had gone.
There were extenuating circum-
stances in the case, and the sorrow of
St. Joe is mitigated on that account.
The couple in question we're Reinold
Wedde and Miss Emily DEVON, and
they came 60 Kenosha to we'd for the
simple reason that they were cousins
and could not be married in Michigan.
They got into Kenosha late Sunday
evening, and when they came up to
the home of the County Judge and
stated that they were from St. Joe, the
Judge rubbed his hands with glee and
told them that he would be tickled to
death to give them an order to wed.
The old schedule of rates was pulled
out but it failed to specify St. Joe in
the list, and the Judge was forced to
let them off with the customary fee, Of
a dollar and half. AS soon as the
order was secured the couple drove to
the home of the Holland minister, who
performed the ceremony and pocketed
the first fee from st. Joe wedding in
Kenosha.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wedde seemed to like
the pleasant reception they received,
and left this morning for St. Joe with
very pleasant remem brances of their
wedding day.

District Attorney Buckmaster this

which had been issued for the arrest of
James Plumb, of Milwaukee, On a
charge of assau1ting Clara Hegt, of
Roundout, ILL.,, be withdrawn and
Plumb will not be prosecuted. The
action was taken after the attorney
had made visit to Roundout and had

eral times and gave assurance to the
attorney that the evidence would new
er be sufficient to convict Plumb on
the charges made in the warrant. It
is probable that the warrant was de-
manded in good faith by the father of
the girl but it is not in any way sup
ported by the girl or the circumstances
which she relates.
Plumb has been forced to suffer a
great deal Of Inconvenience from the
charges brought against him and
should have some recourse under the
law. Not only was he forced to spend
nearly month behind the bars of the
Jail but the charges brought against
him came to the ears of his higher
officials and he has been forced to give
up his work with the railway at least
temporarily. Tie Kenosha officials
are now doing all in their power to
have Plumb restored to his position.
