Decision in the Caster Case May Re
suit in Other Cases Being Called
Up Again When Court Sits.
CASTER IS CONSIDERED A TOOL.
Effort is Now Being Made TO Find Some
Trace of Gustav L. CIausen, the Missing
Chicago Promoter.

The decision of the Supreme court
in the Caster habeas corpus proceed
ings promises to be decision with far
reaching consequences and it is posi-
bic that all the Doodle cases commenced
two years ago will be called up again
after the trial of Caster. The evidence
that can be given by Caster is a po-
tent factor in the prosecution of the
cases and it is thought that in the trial
of his case sufficient evidence will be
brought to rearrest at least one of the
other men who we're accused with
Caster.
Already the machinery of the law
has been started in motion to get Gus
tav L. Clausen, the railway promoter,
to Kenosha for trial II the evidence
is strong enough to convict Caster it is
more than strong enough to place
Clausen in the same prisoners dock.
Caster may have been the weakest one
of the crowd but the evidence which he
will give will be strong enough to as
sist materially in convicting others
who have been charged with being
connected with the boodling council.
District Attorney A. e. Buckmaster
was seen this morning and he was IN
good spirits over the decision of the
court. He said: Il never thought that
the court would decide in any other
way as the law was largely on our side
of the case. It is gratifying to know,
however, that at least one of these
men will be forced to stand before a
jury Of his peers On charge of official
misconduct and think that there is
little doubt but that we will be able to
convict Caster. C1ausen has never
been in the state since the warrant for
his arrest was issued and should he re-
turn he will be promptly arrested and
held for trial. The verdict of the SUI
preme court has cleaned up lot of
hazy matters and we would have little
trouble holding any of the men
charged
When asked in regard to the revival
of the cases against other men charged
with Caster the attorney stated that
at the present time it was hard to tell
what would or could be done. 1t is
possible that one of the former defend
ants is immune from prosecution on
the charge of bribery on account of the
fact that he gave evidence in the hear
ing on the Caster case, but even If
this is true it would be possible to hold
this one of the defendants on charge
of erjury and the punishment would
be even stronger than in The former
case.
The attorney stated that no new
move would be taken IN the cases un-
til they were called for trial in the Cir
cult court at the September term.

MADE 4 GOOD HAUL.
Burglars Entered Room of Frank Smith
and Secures Good Booty.

i
and Secures Good Booty.
Report has been made to the police
that on last Tuesday night the room of
Frank Smith, over the Mich restaur-
ant, was entered by burglars aud
money and jewelry to the amount of
eighty dollars taken. Mr.. Smith was
asleep on the bed when the robbery
occurred and the money was taken
from his pockets.
The burglar was evidently an expert
as Smith did not have any knowledge
of his presence until he awoke and
found his pocketbook lying on the
floor empty. The gold watch, which
had been worn by Smith during the
day, was left on a table near by. 1t
was also taken by the burglar but the
chain which had been fastened to the
watch was left behind.
This is the second time in a year
that the Smith room has been robbed
and both times the circumstances were
strangely the same. 1t is evident that
the robber was pretty we'll acquainted
with the room and with the fact that
Smith had the money with him when
he laid down on the bed to sleep.
The police have no clue to the guilty
parties but there are several under
suspicion and their actions are being
closely watched.

TEN MINUTES OF LIBERTY.

Mary Miller Prisoner of the County ia
Breaks Away and Runs. Was Recaptured
There was great excitement about
the county jail yesterday afternoon
when Mary Miller the Chicago girl
who is serving twenty days sentence
at the jail, made break for liberty.
Mary was very peacable prisoner and
late in the afternoon she grew tired Of
her cell and asked to be allowed to do
some work about the Jail. She was
put to work washing windows under
the direction of a servant. The girl
worked along for half an hour, but
when the eyes Of the servant and the
turnkey were busy elsewhere she sud-
denly grew tired of restraint and
throwing down her brush and water,
started to run. She had only started
the turnkey, and he started after her.
Miss Miller is evidently something of
an athlete and with hopes of liberty
as an impetus, she fed TO the lumber
yard back of the jail. She managed
to hide herself among the lumber piles
for about ten minutes after which she
was captured and returned to her cell.
She will now be forced to get along
with bread and water for a few days
and with this diet, she will probably
prefer to make no further attempts at
escape. This is the first attempt a
prisoner has made to escape from the
jail in several years.

Contracts For the Winters Supply Are Be-
ing Made In Kenosha at So a Ton.
Old King Coal still reigns and his
reign will continue over the coming
winter much the same way it did over
the winter Just past. The dealers in
Kenos ha are taking orders for coal to
be delivered during the fall and winter
months and there is little reason to be-
lieve that coal will be much cheaper
thar it was last year. The contracts
that are now icing made are at the
rate of from 500 to $7.25 a ton de-
livered. It is possible that the rate
may be!slightly increased and one of
the dealers stated that the rate was be-
ing increased ten cents per month.
Even at this rate the coal would not 60
to more than eight dollars ton.
Many orders are now being placed
for next winter but many people are
holding off in hopes that the price will
be considerably reduced.
New coal docks are TO be opened in
Kenosha this season and the managers
of the Wisconsin Coal and Coke Com
pany are now seeking to secure control
of one of the city docks for this use.

State Insurance Inspector Comes to
ken0sha to Make a New Sched-
uIe For All Sorts OF Business.
RATES TO BE MADE INDEPENDENT
Each Risk Accepted VIM Have Its Own
Rating and In Many Cases the Rates
VIII Be Greatly Reduced.


Kenosha seems to be as near favorite
pastime for the insurance companies
as tinkering with railroad rates is to
the governor Of the state and this
morning ]. w. Lancaster, of Milwau-
kee, one of the inspectors for all the
compa MES working in Kenosha started
work to make new schedule of rates
for the city He prefaced that work
by stating to the leading agents that
when the new schedule was completed
Kenosha would have the lowest rate OF
any city in the state of Wisconsin.
Just year ago raise in almost all
the rates in Kenosha was made and
there has since been great deal of
complaint from the owners of mercau.
tile buildings and manufacturing
plants. For this reason the dust
ment has been deemed a necessity.
The work of changing the rates will
be under the direction of the Kenosha
local board of underwriters. Rates
will be both raised and reduced as IN
dividual cases demand. In making
the new schedule base rate will be es-
tablished and this will be increased ac-
cording to the condition of the build.
ings accepted as risk.
In the factories the rate will be set
and the owners of the plant will be
given list of things that may be done
to reduce the rates and as fast as these
i'm provements in FIRE protection are
put in the rates will be reduced.
Every factory in the city will be
effected by the change and all the
Main street stores will also have a
chance to reduce their rates by reduc.
ing the liabilities of fires.
The new rate will probably make
some consideration of buildings in
which the city heat has been installed
as in the past no changes had been
made on account of this reduced
liability. The new rates will not in
any way effect residence property and
it will remain at the same rate as in
the past.
The work of re-arranging the sched-
ule will take several weeks and in that
time the owner of every building will
be given a chance to better his "a te or
at least to see exactly how the rate is
made. The insurance men seem to
think that the rating will be fairer
one than Kenosha has had in many
years and it is possible that this
change will result in much more insur
ance being taken from the companies
which have resident agents in the
city.
