Town of SOmers Decides to Do Away
With One of Its Traditional Rules
OF Order.
DECISION MAY BE FAR REACHING.
May Open the Lake Shore For the Free
ton of Several Large Resorts by Mill ),
waukee Brewers In the Near Future.

After having been one of the strong
est Prohibition towns IN Southern
Wisconsin for many years the town of
Somers at the election on Tuesday de-
cided ITO open its doors to the saloons.
By a vote of thirty-two ma jority the
exact vote by which license was de-
feated at the last election on the
subject the voters decided to IL
cense the saloons this year. The
vote came as a great surprise to the
people of the town, and it is claimed
that the saloon men took advantage of
the fact that there was but one ticket
in the field to turn the tide in their ia
vor For the past decade Somers has
stood strongly against the saloon, and
the old Scotch Presbyterian blood of
the town has made its citizens known
throughout the state as Prohibition
lists. The few saloons that have been
started ia the town have had a preca-
rious existence and were invariably
closed by the people bringing suits
against the owners and oar-keepers
and forcing them to pay heavy fines
and costs in court. At present the
calendar of the circuit court contains
two such cases. The only exception
to this rule has been Central Park, and
this resort has been practically free
from molestation. But even with this
care liquor had been carried into the
very village of Somers, and it is said
that many Of the voters had tired of
the "Blind Pig" method and decided
to vote to license the grog shops. The
license is placed at $500 year and the
town board will probably superintend
the conduct of the saloons.
1t is thought that the action of
the town in opening its doors to the
saloon men will have quite an effect on
the future of the Lake Shore. Central
Park has proved to be profitable in
vestment, and several other Mi1wau-
kee breweries have for some time been
looking for places near Kenosha which
can be turned into beer gardens. The
property along the electric railway is
admirably fitted for the use Of these
people as the gardens can be located
midway between Racine and Kenosha
and yet be in reach of both places,
1t is also probable that the decision
will result in at least one and possibly
two saloons being opened in the town
of Somers.
There is no doubt but the temper
ance people of the town will at once
begin the fight to have license over
ruled at the next saloon election, but
it is probable that the liquor men will
be allowed to run for two, or possibly
three years without mo1estation.

THIRD ANNUAL CONCERT.

What promises to be one of the most
interesting concerts ever given in Ke-
nosha is the concert of Prof. P. Mar
mus Paulsen and pupils at the Rhode
opera house, Monday, May II, 1908.
They will be assisted by some of the
most prominent figures in the musical
world. including such artists as Mr..
Leo Tecktonius already famous as one
of the most brilliant pianists of the
Middle West, and Mr.. Redmond P.
Hogan, the celebrated baritone and
menologue artist. Although Mr.. Ho-
gan has never before appeared in Ke-
nosha, still there are but few people
who have not heard or read of this
splendid singer and exceedingly clever
comedian. The Kenosha Festival Or
chestra of twenty-five members, Sing
ing Society "Freya,' and large
mixed chorus will be other interesting
features of the concert.

Girl Who Left the Home of Frank SlOcum
Four Weeks Ago at Home in Milwaukee.
Miss Kate Simon who disappeared
from the home of Frank Slocum on
Prairie avenue some four weeks ago is
at her home in Milwaukee. This
statement was made to representa-
tive-of this paper this morning by Ed
ward Simon, brother of the young
lady. Miss Simon has been i'll for
some time, but she has now recovered
her health and is expected to return to
her work in this city on next Satur-
day.
No reason is assigned for the fact
that Miss Simon left her clothes at the
Slocum home and sent no word to her
land-lady.
The many friends of the young lady
will be happy to know that she is safe
and sound and that she will return to
her home here in few days.

MARKO rs FINED.
Man Accused of Stealing Money From Hank
George is Fined $40 and Costs

Man Accused of Stealing Money From Hank
George is Fined $40 and Costs,
Andrew Mako, arrested two weeks
ago on charge of stealing sum Of
money and watch from Hank George,
was arraigned in court this morning
on a charge of petit larceny, and was
fined ten dollars and costs on plea of
guilty
The complaint against Mako was
changed on account of the fact that he
returned the stolen property, and for a
further reason that the officers of Mil
waukee county desired the arrest of
Mako on a charge Of malicious de-
struction Of property at Cudahy. The
latter charge was one Of old standing,
and more serious than the charge al
legged against Mako in Kenosha, and
for this reason the Kenosha officials
decided to turn the man over to the
Cudahy officials. He will probably be
taken back there at once for trial.

The complaint charges that the as
sets of the bank are not sufficient and
can not be reasonably expected to pay
to exceed from fifty to sixty-five cents
on the dollar. Also that the bank is
insolvent and that the really avail
able" assets of the bank do not exceed
$4,000.
In conclusion the complaint asks for
the appointment of receiver to take
charge of the business and realize from
it as soon possible for the benefit of
the creditors.
The selection of Henry Jordan as re-
ceiver of the bank seems to be one that
is satisfactory to great many of the
creditors.
Many of the creditors of the bank
were at the building this morning
when the agreement in regard to the
receiver was made and all of them
spoke in favor of the appointment of
Mr.. Jordan.
The matter will be taken up at the
opening of the term of the Circuit
Court for Racine county. Efforts were
made to have the hearing held in this
county, but Judge Belden could not be
reached by phone and it was impossi-
BILE to set any date for a hearing in
Kenosha.
District Attorney Buckmaster will
probably represent the State in the
further hearings in the case.

SOMMER MUST PAY BACK
The Referee Decides ihni The ~ Sh"rin
Must Pay County SII.500 -

Referee Hanitch has handed down
his discisiou in the case of the County
against eX sheriff Sonmer and dcCid-
es that the latter must return the sum
of Sill 500 which he was over paid.
This claim of the county against the
ex-sheritf is the result of the miXup
over the question of salary and fees
for the sheriit's office. When Sheriff
Sommer went into Office in January,
1901, he supposed that he was stepping
into a fee office. The county board
also acted upon that suggestion and
the sherin's bills were allowed ON lhat
basis,
After Sheriff Sommer had been four
teen months in Office the supreme
court handed down its dicision in the
Snyder case and it held that the Office
was on the 81 500 salary basis Then
the county board stopped allowing
bills and the sherit1's earnings were
merely allowed to pile up as a credit
District Attorney Crownhart began
the action in which an accounting was
demanded. Judge Nmje appointed
| Louis Hanitch as referee and the tcsti-
m Dny was taken by him.

It was in the city of Baltimore, around the block in small place where the elect gather after the unelect have all gone to bed. that choice party had assembled one night to revel in the lux ury of leisure that comes to brains ef- ter the midnight hour. They were chief ly newspaper men and actor men. and they were telling stories about all sorts and conditions of people. For some un- accountable reason. after one man left the party. they got on the subject os mean men. Several notable examples were presented. and finally Tim Mur- phy, the Thespian who made a Texas steer worth more money than half a dozen droves of Blue Grass Shorthorns, had a chance to speak.
 "The meanest man l ever had any thing to do with" he said, was a hotel proprietor in Kansas. in whose town our company played three nights. We had with us one chap who seemed to be on the down side all the time. and the last night We stayed in the town, he went to his room, turned on the gas. and in the morning there was a va cancy in the company. Whether we were under any obligation to pay the suicides hotel bill, I don't know, but We thought we would leave him with d clear record. and as he hadn't any mo- ney, we took up d collection and went to the ladlord. l had the money, S3.I5, for three days, theatrical rate. and handed it to the landlord.
