RAILWAY TO TEST LAW.
Case in Kenosha for Cancellation of Tax
Certificate to be Made Test Case.

The suit of the Northwestern Rail-
way Company against w. B. Smith,
the City of Kenosha and the County
of Kenosha, has finally found its way
into the courts, the papers having been
filed on Saturday afternoon. 1t is
announced that the company is plan
ming to make the case test case of
the law in regard to the assessing of
railway property, and at least a dozen
similar suits in different parts Of the
state will be affected by the decision
In the Kenosha case. The suit will be
taken at once to the higher courts and
| If the company manages to secure a
| favorable decision II will al once bring
suit against certain cities and counties
to secure rebates of amounts paid as
taxes on special assessments made in
the past. The defendants in the case
ia this county have filed an answer to
the complaint ia which they allege
| that the company is wholly at fault.
The answer shows that the company
has paid five of the assessments due
III III OAk40AAS w b1O
and further that at the time the i'm
provements were made the property so
assessed was not used for railway pur-
poses. At the time of the paving of
Grand avenue the land which is now
the bone of contention was leased to
the Standard Oil Company and the
railway company received a regular
income from it. Under these circum-
stances the attorneys for the city and
county held that the company must
pay the special assessments. The fact
that the company paid FIVE assess
ments without making any complaint,
is considered strong point in favor
Of the city and county.
The case is scheduled to come up for
trial at the coming September term of
the circuit court, and it is expected
that attorneys for many cities will
assist the local attorneys in making
the fight against the corporation.

TURKEYS DYING OFF.

Epidemic Threatens to Decimate Those In
Racine County Cattle Going Blind
William Roberts. of Union Grove,
was in the city today and reported that
an epidemic has broken out among the
turkeys IN the vicinity of the Grove.
Mrs. Sleeves lost about forty; another
farmer south of the village has lost
1G0; Mr.. Roberts himself has lost
many and also others have suffered.
The birds appear to droop, grow poor
and drop over. AS yet the cause of the
wholesale deaths has not been ascer-
tanned. Mr.. Roberts predicts that at
the rate the birds are dying there win
be a great scarcity for Thanksgiving.
A report also comes from the Grove
that many cattle are going blind.
Whole herds have beer stricken blind
within day. Veterinary surgeons
have been kept busy and in many in
stances succeeded in restoring the
sight of the animals. New cases are
appearing daily. The surgeons have
not yet been able to definitely state
what causes the trouble.

Unknown Men Make a Mysterious As
sauIt on George Farrer Sat-
urday Evening.
THREE SUSPECTS ARE ARRESTED
VIII Be Held on Charge of Assault with
poets Are Well Known to Police.

| George Farrer, young man resid'
| ing at the west end of Pearl street was
the victim Of mysterious assault on
Saturday evening which will result il
his being laid up for many days if moi
permanently disabled. Gilbert John.
san and Edward Kraai, two boys OF
his own age, are Ia jail charged with
the crime. A third boy was arrested
but he was released as it was learned
that he had no part in the smuggling.
The assault seems to have resulted
over a girl, Miss Frances Rapenas.
Farrer was with the girl at the time OF
the trouble but he claims lnat he uever
saw either Of his assailants tefore.
The smuggling caused great excl, ement
and could the boys have been found at
the time it would have proba bly, gone
hard with them.
The assault, which was of most
brutal nature, took place near the cor
ner of Chicago street and Prairie ave-
nue.. Young Farrer and companion,
Vergil McFadGen, were walking up
the street. Farrer was with Miss Ra-
penas and McFadden was with two
young ladies by the name of Ander-
son. As the party reached the corner
where the melee occurred Johnson,
Kraai and three other boys came along
and Kraai walked up to the Rapenas
girl and began to get very familiar.
The girl started to run away and
about the same time Johnson, accord
ing to the story told by the, police,
walked up behind her escort and with
out word struck him IN the back of
the head. Farrer fell to the ground
unconscious and when he fell the gang
started to run. The three we're later
arrested and spent Sunday in Jail.
Farrer lay in an unconscious condi-
ton for more than half an hour and
the great crowd that gathered sup
posed that he had been killed by the
blow. Later he was taken to his home
in carriage and DR.. Farr was called
to attend him. It was found that he
had been struck on the head with some
blunt instrument. The blow had
SlIuC 1l1Iu LCdI lklC GdSC Va lt1S ShuA1
causing a terrible wound and it is
feared that the skull was fractured.
The doctors do not believe that Farrer
is out of danger but he is greatly i'm
proved today and is able to be about
his home.
Farrer stated to the police that he
had never seen any of the boys before
and that he could give no reason for
the assault unless it was case Of mis-
taken identity. The two boys placed
under arrest are members Of the So
called "Slab Alley" gang and their
faces are not new to the police courts.
For some time this gang has been rum
ming at a rapid pace in Kenosha and
any one who offends the members Of
the gang has stood ia danger of being
slugged. Of course the two boys pro-
test their innocence but they were
positively identified by the three wo-
men who were in the party when
Farrer was s1ugged.
It is claimed that one Of the men ac-
cused of the crime had sought to be the
escort of the Rapenas girl and she had
declined his invitation. 1t is thought
that this was the cause of the attack
on Farrer.

Port Washington Base Ball Players
Defeat the KenOsha Team by a
Score of8 to 4 Sunday.
HOME RUN WINS The GAME.
Enterberger Of Port washington Makes the
Longest Hit of the season.-Kenosha
Boys Sadly Lacking In Team Work.

The Port Washington base ball team
the strongest amateur team in the
state fattened up it's seasons record
Sunday afternoon when it defeated the
Kenosha Interstate League team out
at Grand View Park by a score of s tn
A. The game couldn't exactly be cali-
ed a good game as numerous errors
were made on both sides, but it was
close enough to make Undressing for
the spectators. 1t seemed predestined
that Port Washington was to win aud
although the Kenosha boys we're at
one time three nice big runs TO the
good the Ports never lost hope. They
seemed TO know that Euterberger, the
big third baseman, was intending to
land the ball over the fence for nome
run and for this reason they paid little
attention to the first few innings of
the game. In the third inning after
the Ports had been BANKED for three
successive innings Ebert started the
ball rolling with two Dagger and
Lang brought him home a flying with
a nice little single. The boys manag-
ed to get in a couple of sacrifice hits
and Lang scored making the score two
to nothing in favor of Kenosha, 1t
really looked al if the Kenosha team
was going to win a game. In the next
two innings the Ports drew blanks
again and in the fourth the Kenosha
boys added another score on hits by
Schooley, Ebert and Freitag. In the
fifth the Kenosha team was blanked
and in the first part of the sixth the
Ports began to show a little of their
old time form. Page1 started out with
a clean hit to center field and Enter
berger the next man up lifted the bali
over the center field fence It was the
longest hit ever made on the grounds
and both men trotted home on it. The
home run proposition was new one
for the Keuosha boys and it seemed to
take all the steam out Of them and the
Ports proceeded to annex two more
runs before the side was retired. At
the end of tile inning Glader who had
pitched a pretty good game was taken
out by Captain Breen and Freitag
ter and the Ports continued TO pound
the ball over the field and made two
runs more. This was sufficient to win
the game but the visitors deciding to-
make assurance doubly sure proceeded
to pound out two more runs in the
niuth inning bringing the total up to
eight.
The Kenosha boys had plenty Of
chances to win even with this margin
against them but they seemed to be-
affected with stage fright and hits
were not forthcoming when they would
have counted for runs, In the last
half of the ninth the boys managed to
geta man on base but this was as far
as he could get as Croft, the Port
Washington pitcher, proceeded to re-
tire the side without further argument.
The game was largely lost by the
Keuosha team on account Of lack Of
team work, the men playing miserab1y
together.
The score Of the game follows.

Well Known Contractor Gets on Spree
Neighbors Threaten to Prosecute Him.
There was Considerable excitement
in the western part of the city last
night when we'll known contractor
drove the members Of his family from
their home. The man was in a beastly
state of intoxication and going home
he at once began to get ugly. Some
thing about the house pleasing him,
with threats Of dire INJURY he forced
his wife and children to leave the
house. They ran to the home of a
neighbor, who furnished them with
shelter for the night.
The people residing IN the neighbour
hood are up in arms and if the mem
bers of the family fail to prosecute the
man the neighbors will take it up and
see that he gets something like his
just deserts. This is not the first COM
plant that has been made, but at other
times the contractor has been able to
secure the withdraw If charges made
against hin.

Fred Kero is Bound Over for Trial foI
Assaulting His Rival Dominick Lenconi
Fred Kero, the Italian who was ar.
rested week ago on charge of as
saulting, with intent to do great
bodily harm to Dominick Lenconi, a
rival in love, hid hearing ia Justice
McCarron's court this morning and
was bound over to await the action of
the circuit court. Bail was fixed at
$500, and Kero was taken back to jail.
Lenconi is still confined to his bed as
a result of the encounter with his
jealous rival, but he will recover from
his IN juries. In court today the evi
dence showed that Kero did not use a
knife, but the terrible wound on the
head of Lenconi was made with a
heavy watch which the Italian used
as weapon.
Kero seems to have many friends
among the Italians of Chicago and a
number of them came to Kenosha to-
day to make an effort to secure his
release from jail.

KENosHA COUNTY MILK PURE
Tactical Fluid From This County Wins
Notable Victory in Chicago.

The dairyn1en of Kenosha have won
a noteworthy victory in Chicago, for
the commission that was appointed to
test the milk that is being shipped in
from this and adjoining counties has
sent report to the health officials of
that city TO the effect that the milk
sent from this portion Of the country
is absolutely free from impurities.
Many samples Of the milk were tested
and almost every one of them showed
absolute purity. For years the health
officers of Chicago have been attempt
ing to saddle the germs Of disease so
prevalent in Chicago, on the farmers
of Kenosha county, claiming that the
milk shipped in from this county was
not fit for sale. Health officials have
been sent to the county to make an
examination Of dairy farms and their
reports, together with the report Of the
tests, are sufficient 10 show that the
Kenosha farmers have been maIigned.
In the future the Kenosha county milk
will be in demand in KenosIaa on
account of this testimony of its purity.

POLICE FIND A SATCHEL,.

Owner of it May Have Been Drowned In
the River.-No Trace Of Him is Found.
Late last night the members of the
police force found a satchel filled with
clothes ia the yards Of the Balm Wagon
Works, and there seems TO be some
reason to believe that the former
owner Of the satche1 has shuff1ed off
this mortal coil by throwing himself
into the water ia the river. It is said
that an old man was seen on the street
with the satcheI late last night, but
no trace of him can be found this
morning. The man is supposed to
have been peddler, and had been
aoout the city for several days. He
was IN hard luck and was greatly de-
spondent when seen yesterday.
The satche1 contained several pairs
of shoes and some clothing which had
been worn for many months.
The search for the old man is being
carried on by the police today and the
satchel is being held at the police
Office pending his return.
No one seems to know anything of
the identity Of the old man.

CURTIS PICKS STEPHENSON.
Man Well known in This County Named as

the Next Governor of Wisconsin.
Isaac Stephenson, the Marinet te
statesman and the Kenosha county
farmer, has been selected by William E
Curtis, the spondent Of the Chi.
cago Record. Herald, as the governor
Of Wisconsin. In a two column article
Sunday Mr.. Curtis gave his reasons
for making the selection and while his
decision may not be final he certainly
makes a good case for the Marinette
man.
Mr.. Stephenson is now seventy four
years Of age and he has long been IN
line for political preferment. 1T has
always been supposed that he would
prefer a place in the United States
senate but it IS possible that he would
accept a place as governor. The
friends of Mr.. Stephenson in this
couaty declare that he is not looking
for any political Office but that he pre-.
fers to be left in private life.
Mr.. Stephenson has been active in
Half Breed ranks and if he is Domi
mated he will have to be placed in
nomination in place OF Governor La.
