"Tony' Graham Supposed to be From
This City Commits Suicide at
WhitesbOrO, Texas.
IDENTIFIED BY NOTE BOOK.

A press dispatch from Whitesboro,
Texas small station on the M. K.
and T. Road just this side of Denison
states that man supposed to be Tony
Graham of Kenosha Wis. committed
suicide Wednesday morning by throw
ing himself under an engine on the
M. K. and T. Road. The man was in
stantly killed and the body was man
gled almost beyond recognition.
When the remains had been moved
to the station at Whitesboro a note
book was found in the pockets of the
man having the inscription Ebony
Graham, Kenosha Wis" There were
also papers in the book to show that
the man had been employed as sec.
ton worker on the Northwestern
road. The man was evidently an Ital-
ian and was in the neighborhood of
thirty years of age.
The dispatches contain only the
most meagreadetails of the accident
and nothing can be found here which
will furnish any further information.

city directory and the officials of the
railway company can give no clue to
the mans identity. One of the FORE
men explained that Graham might
have been in the employ of the COM
pany but that he did not know how
the fact could be ascertained as he was
probably member of some contractors
gang.
Inquiry in the Italian quarters
show that man named Graham had
formerly lived there but this was not
his real name. This man is supposed
to have returned to Italy some six or
seven weeks ago but it is possible that
he went to Texas and became discou-
ragged and killed himself.
Efforts have been made to secure de.
tails of the tragedy but they have been
of no avail.

Pleasant Prairie Telephone Company
Begins Work on Line to Connect
County Villages.
CIRCUIT IS NOW COMPLETED.
Miles of Telephone Will Connect Every
Town In the County.-An Lines to
Connect With Kenosha Lines.

After the three years of agitation the
cherished scheme of the independent
telephone companies IN the county is
to become reality and before the
coming Christmas the wires will be
stretched to girdle the entire county.
The Pleasant Prairie Telephone COM
pany began work this morning on the
the line between Pleasant Prairie and
Somers will soon be ready for the use
of the "hello girls" The new line is
one that has often been planned and
several of the companies in the coun-
ty have been seeking the right to
build it. The Somers people interest
ed ia the line have now merged with
the promoters Of the Pleasant Prairie
line and the building of the line will
go on without interruption. The COM
pany secured load of poles yesterday
and the work of setting them will start
at once.
The line will be eight miles in length
and will follow straight line from
I &
the two villages. 1t will pass through
the most populous portion of the coun-
ty and portion that at the present
time has no telephone connection with
other parts Of the county. It is said
that the company expects to secure in
the neig hborhood of two hundred SUBJ
scribers on the line and this addition
to the business of the Pleasant Prairie
company will make it the most aggres-
sive competitor Of the Bristol company
in this section. The lines will be com
pleted by the middle of December and
they will be at once connected with the
line of the Pleasant Prairie company
running into Kenosha.
The line will also be connected with
the Bristol lines and in this manner
the entire county will have a telephone
system. This is the first county in
the state to have a system of tele-
phones reaching every town.
The building of the line will mean
much to Kenosha as it will open to the
Kenosha trade a country which has
| formerly been more closely related tc
Racine than to the metropolis of their
own county. The fact that the phones
will come into the leading business
houses in the city will open a new ave.
nue. of trade between the city and the
people of Somers.
The consolidation of the entire sys.
tenn of telephone lines in the county
with central Office in Kenosha is now
being worked out and there is every
reason to believe that the independ
ent companies will all unite. There
is little friction between the indie
pendent companies in the county and
in the city but it is proba BILE that all Of
fore the city line is completed.

Avery, Makes No Positive Statements.
W. S. Houston, of this city, who for
some time has been the business agent
of Mrs. Frank Avery the lady reported
to be eng aged to the Duke of St. AL
bans, declines to confirm the report.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Houston
said: II would not be surprised if the
report we're true, but have no actual
knowledge Of the facts. Mrs. Clark,
mother Of Mrs. Avery, told me some
time ago that it would be some time
before May married again, but she did
not state who she was to marry. | ex-
pect to meet Mrs. Avery in Chicago
the latter part of this week. and do
not think that it is possible that she is
about to go abroad. The story of the
alleged engagement was brought about
by the fact that the reporter for the
New York Herald and Mrs. Avery lived
in the same hotel in London. would
not be surprised If the Duke called on
Mrs. Avery several times and 1t is
probable that this gave him his foun-
dation for the story. Mrs. Clark stated
a few days ago that neither she nor
Mrs. Avery was ready at this time to
talk to newspaper men IN regard to
Mrs. Avery's affairs"
