SEEK MISSING MAN.
Appleton Relatives Seek Trace of John

Appleton Relatives Seek Trace of John
Clapper. Thought to be in Kenosha.
An effort is being made to find some
trace of John Clapper a former resi-
dent of Appleton who is said to have
recently resided in henosha.
Clapper left Appleton many weeks
ago and since that time no trace of him
has been found. He is said to have
worked in several Wisconsin cities and
finally came to Kenosha and was en-
p1oyed in one Of the factories in this
city, Clapper seems to have disappear
ed from Kenosha as no trace Of him
can be found in the city.
No reason is given for the search for
the man but it is intimated that he is
one of the heirs to an estate which is
now being settled in the courts at APP
pleton and his presence must be Sc
cured before The estate can be taken
from The hands of the court.

AN EARLY PIONEER DEAD.
Mrs. Mary Eliza Gibbs Died This Morning
at Home of Her Brother In Bristol.

Mrs. Mary Eliza Gibbs Died This Morning
at Home of Her Brother in Bristol.
Mrs. Mary Eliza Gibbs, widow Of
the late Charles Gibbs and one of the
pioneer residents of the town Of Bris-
toll, died at an early hour this morning
at the home of her brother E. S. Castle
in Bristol. Death resulted from natur-
al infrmaties of old age.
Mrs. Gibbs was in her eighty-eighth
year. She was native Of New York
and was born in September 1915. She
came to this county with her parents
and husband in the early forties and
ever since that time she has been a
resident Of the town of Bristol. She
was universally known among the
people of the town aud her death will
cause great sorrow. She is the last
survivor of the Gibbs family.
The funeral will be held from the
late residence on Sunday afternoon
and the remains will be inferred at
Paddock's lake.

Bicycle Thieves Set New Record in
Kenosha by Breaking Into the
Office OF Police Department.
OFFICERS STARS NOT IN BOOTY.
Burglars Find Nothing In the Office Worth
Having Except the City's New Bicycle
New Man Needed to Guard Office.

The Kenoska crooks who make a
practice of living by the work of
others, have at last passed the limit
and it is reported that the aforesaid
crooks have even invaded the police
Office and committed burglary which
is proving one Of the greatest mys-
teries ever laid up for the police to
solve. The robbery is supposed to
have occurred on Monday evening and
the property taken consisted Of one
bicycle.
Just why the burglars didn't take
more is probably explained BY the fact
that there was nothing else in the
Office worth having.
The matter has been kept very quiet
but if Chief Reinold and his men ever
get line on the man who stole that
bicycle from the police Office he will
be sent to the penitentiary and spend
the remainder of his life at hard labor.
Some months ago the city council
decided that the police work would be
facilitated if the police officers had a
bicycle, and to this end the committee
on police was instructed to purchase
the wheel. The wheel was one of the
best to be bought and it was especially
put up for the use of the police. The
chief of the department. used the bicy-
Gle on last Sunday and took it back to
the Office on Monday. This was the
last seen of it as when night officer
Pabst went out to look for it Monday
evening to make his regular rounds it
was discovered that the wheel was
gone.
There seems to be no evidence of
any one having opened the police Office
by breaking the lock on the door and
the theft is supposed to be the work of
some clever rogue who managed to
open the Office with skeleton key.
The chief says that there Is absolute
~ no trace of the stolen property and
to all intents and purposes it went up
the chimney. The different officers
have all been called up and quizzed
but none of them are able to give any
information in regard to the matter.
Many daring burglaries have been
committed in the city during the past
few years, but this is the first time
that the burglars got strong enough to
beard the lion of the law in his den.
It is probable that in few weeks
the burglars will invade the jail and
steal the bed clothing off the iron cots.
The police hold that it is just as
easy to burglarize the police Office $
any other Office in the city and insist
that the recent robbery shows the
demand for another man on the force
in order to have the Office protected at
all hours of the day and night.

SOUGHT FAITHLEss LOVER.
Trip of the Lytles to the Tenderloin is Elk
planned by Brother OF Dead Girl

planned by Brother OF Dead Girl.
The remains of Mary Lytle, sister
of William Lytle formerly of Keno
sha, who committed suicide in Chi
cago, have been taken back to the old
home at Murphesboro, Tenn, and
they will be buried in the famous
Lytle plat there.
William Lyttle, who is still in jail
at Montgomery, has given out new
story of the famous trip of the brother
and sister through the tenderloin on
last Friday night, and he now de.
clares that he had accompanied his
sister to the resorts along Dearborn
avenue, in an effort to locate a faith
less lover of the girl who was said to
be spending his time in one of the
resorts.
Smith the negro porter who was
shot by Lytle is still alive and it is
probable that he will recover.
