UPHOLDS M'KESsON.
Supreme Court Decides That the Survey at
Powers Lake is the Proper One.

Supreme Court Decides That the Survey at
Powers Lake is the Proper One.
The books of County Surveyor VIII
liam McKesson and his statement In
regard to the property about Powers
lake now has the sanction of the SUI
preme court as this morning Clerk of
the Circuit Court ]. B. Maloney re-
ceived from Madison the remiture of
the Supreme court in the suit of James
McGarry VS.. Henry Runke1 and the
other members of the town board of
Wheat1and.
In the opinion handed down by JUS
tice Dodge it is stated that the supreme
court holds that the survey nade by
William McKesson is the correct sur.
vey. The opinion further states that
the road passing along the McGarry
property should be four rods in width.
The decision is in the way of victory
for both parties. McGarry is forced to
pay the costs of the action amounting
to $214.75. The judgment which Nc
Garry received in the Circuit court
amounting to SIS was reduced to ten
dollars.
This will probably be the last heard
of the famous case as it is not thought
that It will be brought up again by
either the plaintiff or the defendant.
The road has been properly opened
and both parties are satisfied.

CAUSES SERIOUS DELAY.
Failure of Assessor and Others to Complete
Assessment May Make Tax Higher.

The failure of the Assessor to COM
plete his work in making the assess
ment for the county, has caused seri-
Gus delay in the work Of getting up the
assessment for the county, and it is
possible that the Secretary of State
will order the levy before the figures
from this county are received, IF this
should be done the county will prob
ably be taxed higher than it should be.
The State levy will be made on the
last day of this month, and it will now
be impossible for the County Clerk to
get in his figures by that time.
The County Assessors have all sent
in their reports, but the city is holding
back the entire report. The officials
seem to believe that the work will be
completed by tomorrow night, but it
will take fortnight for the Board of
Review to arrange the figures.

RACINE TAKES THE THIRD.
Kenosha Team Defeated In Exciting Game
By Score of six to Four.

Kenosha Team Defeated In Exciting Game
By Score of six to Four.
Thank goodness, it's over. Racine
c1inched her lead over the Kenosha
base bali team Sunday afternoon, and
the Kenosha team will now be forced
to surrender all claims in champion
ship line except the championship Of
its own town. and there are still some
people who believe that one of the
amateur teams, if given good chance,
would wa1lop the life out Of the League
team.
The final chapter Of the downfall
was written in Racine Sunday after
noon, when the Racine team won the
game from Kenosha by score Of six
to four. The hardest part Of the whole
story was the fact that the Racine luck
came in on scheduled time when the
team was seemingly hopelessly behind
the Kenosha team. For six straight
innings the Kenosha team managed
10 blank the Racineites, while errors
by the Racine players and some long
hits on the part Of the Kenosha batters
allowed the scorer to tab up four runs
for the Southport aggregation. At
this time everybody seemed.to fall dead
and the Racine team began the s1augh-
ter which finally placed the last game
to their credit.
Jacobsen, the Port Washington
player, was in the box for Kenosha,
and outside of one inning he pitched a
good game. In the seventh inning,
however, he made bad break and al
lowed two bases on balls, forcing a
Racine player in. This, added to a
number of good hits in the inning,
allowed the Racine team to score runs
enough to tie the score, and in the
next inning the Racine team clinched
the game by making two more. When
the Kenosha players had secured a
lead of four runs it seemed that they
were all in, as they never got near the
home plate afterward. Ki1lian, the
much touted Cleveland pitcher, proved
a pretty easy mark for Kenosha, and
the players lammed the ball out for
eight hits while the Racine men got
but five off Jacobsen.
The Kenosha boys gave Jacobsen
good support except in one inning,
and only two errors were credited to
them. The Racine players put up a
ragged game, and made a total of six
errors.
The biggest crowd drawn by Inter
State League teams during the season
witnessed the game, there being fully
three Thousand people in the grand
stand and on the bleachers.
As to money changing hands on the
game it is alleged that Kenoshs sports
dropped about $40, mostly in ST. bets.
The managers of the two teams
succeeded in making pretty good
stake out Of the closing contest, and it
is alleged that the purse of 5000 con-
sisted mostly in talk, and that the
managers were satisfied to divide the
gate receipts.
