BARBER ALSO AT LARGE.
Another Kenosha Convict Escapes From
Green Bay Reformatory.

Another Kenosha Convict Escapes From
Green Bay Reformatory.
The police of the city received a no.
tice this morning that William Barber
alias William Smith, Kenosha in
mate of the State Reformatory at
Green Bay, had escaped and was still
at large. Barber managed to break
away from his guards on last Monday
evening and was successful in getting
out of fairgrounds and it is supposed
that he is in hiding some where in this
county. Barber who was known as
brother of the "Gypsy Queen was
sentenced to Green Bay from this
county on charge of burglary in
March, 1901. He received FIVE years.
sentence and as he was anything but
model prisoner he was booked to re-
main in the institution for The full
term. The police are now searching
for the man but they hardly believe
that Barber will return to this ely. He
was a wandering gypsy when he was
arrested here on charge of burglar
1zlng the store OF George Barber. He
plead guilty to the charge.
Barber is the second Kenosha coun-
ty. man that has escaped from the
Green Bay reformatory in the past
three weeks and the officers of the
county seem to think that there is
need for an examination into the man
agement of the institution. Fred
Lichtenteller who was the other Ke-
nosha county inmate to escape is still
at large.
At the present time there are about
twenty people sentenced from this
county in the Green Bay institution
and the officers will insist that closer
watch be kept over the prisoners.
A reward Of SOS has been offered for
the capture of Barber.

Judge Seamon, OF United States Court,
Takes Charge Of the Plant Of the
Carter Manufacturing Co.
PLANT IS SAID TO BE INSOLvENT
Petition For Bankruptcy is Made by Wife
of Former President of Company.-Am-
icable settlement May Be Reached.

Quite surprise was sprung IN the
industrial world of Kenosha this morn
ing when announcement was made
that in the United States court at Mil
waukee Wednesday afternoon Judge
Seamon named Peter Fisher, Jr., as
receiver for the Carter Manufacturing
company. The receiver is now in
charge Of the property Of the company
pending the application for bank
ruptcy proceedings.
The receiver was appointed at the
request of Clarence Fl. Wolfe, the For
rest Lum Der company and Mrs. Belle
p. Whitbeck, executrix of the will of
the late Richard T. Whitbeck, the
former president of the company.
These three creditors allege in their
complaint to the United States
court that the company is irdebted to
them to the extent of little over two
thousand dollars. Further it is
claimed in the complaint that the COM
pany is insolvent and that an effort is
being made to make arrangements for
the settlement of the business whereby
certain creditors in Kenosha will be
greatly benefited.
Receiver Fisher took charge of the
property this morning and while no
inventory has been made for the court
ia general inventory furnished by the
officers of the company seems to indi-
cate that the company is solvent and
will pay dollar for dollar. It is posi-
bic that the proceeding has been
started for the purpose of settling
some differences between the stock
holders of the plant. Secretary Viii.
liam Leonard, as we'll as number of
the principal stockholders of the COM
pany, are in Chicago today and it is
possible that an equitable settlement
will be reached without forcing the
company into bankruptcy. The plant
was shut down Wednesday and the
twenty-five men employed in the plant
are now out of employment. It is pos
sible that the plant will reopen, but it
will be some time before the financial
troubles can be adjusted.
The Carter Manufacturing company
is one of the youngest of the Kenosha
industries. The industry was first
started by the late T. L. Carter and it
fourished under his management. AT
the time of the sudden death of Mr..
Carter a few years ago Richard T.
Whitbeck, Of Chicago, became the
president and he died shortly after his
election. The plant was then turned
over to the heirs and since that time
has been operated under the manage
ment of William Leonard. The plant
has been making a little money but the
returns were not as great as had been
expected by some of the stockholders.
The principal stakeholder in the plant
is Mrs. T. L. Carter while Mrs. Whit
beck also has a large block of the
stock. Other Kenosha people inter-
ested are Herbert Shearer and William
Leonard.
The liabilities Of the plant are said
to be in the neighborhood of six thons-
and dollars and the assets should be
considerable over this amount. Mr..
Leonard seems to think that if the
plant is kept out of the bankruptcy
courts the business can be carried on
and all the Indebtedness paid in full.

Steamer Getty OF Marquette OF Hill

Company, Of Sheboygan, will put on
run between Waukegan and Chicago

men of kesosha desire to secure lake

the steamer will be run on from Wau-
kegan to this city. Captain L. L. Hill

been in Wankegan several days and
he IS planning to come to Kenosha
to look over the field. At present
there seems to be good demand for
NO ~ lake transport alton in Waukegan and
the captain has stated that if the
patronage keeps up the line will be
kept open all winter.
1t is understood that the present

run trial and if it proves a paying
run the boat will be continued in SER

portation touching at Kenosha again,
and Mr.. Taylor who was formerly in

here in Kenosha, has been in the city
looking over the conditions and pros

700 90 When the steamer "City of Grand
Rapids" was on the run under the di-
rection of the Barry company, the
boat was given large amount of bust
$50 90 ness by several o. the Kenosha facto-
ries, and the business from Kenosha
alone was sufficiently large to keep the
line running during one entire season.
When the boat changed hands and
900 90 went into local company's control it
seems that the shippers lost confidence
in the line ant. much of the patronage
was withdrawn. The lake transport
IN 10 tation proved great saving to the
shippers, as the rates were much lower
than those charged sby the railway
company.
Many of these shippers can be de-

service is promised.
