ants in the celebrated Kerstens Iech
cases heard in Circuit Court here last
January, is said to have disappeared
without complying with the Courts or
der for an accounting of the property.
1t is claimed that affairs are now in a
sad state and nothing can be determined
of the disposition of certain properties
involved. Judge Dunwiddie, of James
vile, presided in the cases and the mat
ter of the disappearance of zech has
been reported to him.
The head camp Of Modern Woodmen
of America in session recently ut Indian
apolis made one rule which will be well
coined by the clerks of all the camps in
the jurisdiction and will canse them to
attend to their duties with renewed Wig
or and make the Office one more sought
after than in the past. The new rule
provides compensation for the clerks at
the rate of five cents per month per
member and in camp Of any size this
produces an income of respectable pro
portions Heretofore the compensation
has been fixed by the local camp and
has varied from thanks to a figure that
has made it worth while.
Ludwig Sckniewsk the lad over
whose commitment to the Industrial
school recently, so much trouble has
resulted because of the irregularities at
tending the work of officers of tie city
police force, has been brought to his
home in this city on an order issued by
Judge Chloupek in Probate Court. The
| boy has been given home by Elk
| County Treasurer Kaufman and will be
given every chance to secure an educa
| ton and reform The methods employ
ed by the police department in railroad
v, stigated by the Fire and Police Com
mission.
Manitowoc county base ball enthusi
asts are watching with considerable in
terest the work of Jim Vollendorf,
the local southpaw, with the Milwaukee
Western League team and were not IA
little surprised at the showing he made
during the season The expected hap
pened on Saturday, however, when Vol
| lendorf turned to the bad and lost the
game for the team, 8 to l. In six in
nings he was wild and IL large number
of hits that gave the victory TO Ptor-
Vile resulted. Volendorf was injured
in the sixth and was forced to retire.
His injuries are not serious.
q, -Manitowoc continues to maintain sec
ond place as n Shipping port in the Mil
yankee district on Lake Michigan. In
the report for June issued from the Gus
tom Collectors Office this port leads all
others except Milwaukee in the number
of entries and clearances, and has a
larger tonnage by far than any other
port on the lake in the district. Dur
ing the month total of 1863 vessels with
1871, 151 tons came into port and III yes
sells with q tonnage of 1913, G75 departed
In Milwaukee the entries numbered
626 and departures 63l The tonnage
was over 6SS,05 in and ont. In the
| Milwaukee district the report for the
month shows falling off from the re
cord for June 1902.
| Another and the third storm of last
week on Thursday night was very de
structive and heavy damage resulted in
many sections of the county. In tie
city and on the interurban lines service
was again interrupted and early in the
evening the cars were abandoned for
the night The rain fall was heavy and
lightning played havoc. The home of
| George Lambries in the southern part
of the city was struck, the bolt doing
little damage aside from tearing a hole
in the roof. Streets in the southern sec
ton of the city, where the sewer con-
nections are poor, were badly damaged
| by being washed out and a heavy ex-
pense will be entailed in making repairs.
No reports Of serious damage IN the
county have been received
The enthusiasm which organized the
Wisconsin Association of Matinee Drv-
ing Clubs has died out and there il now
every indication that tho organization
will be abandoned 1t is reported that
number of the clubs in the neighbor-
ing cities have refused to ply the 300
assessment ordered by the board of
directors to make up the deficit Of the
| first and only state meet held at Mil
waukee year ago and this has FASTENED
the end which was sure TO come with
the waning interest 10 harness racing.
Manitowoc holds membership in the
State Association but this season there
has been but little enthusiasm in the af-
fairs of the club. 1t is probable that
the Derby Day failure of Saturday fore
casts the early demise of the local club
