coWELL AFTER MONTAGUE.
Kenosha Man Finds Another city where
Titles to Property Are Defective.

kenosha Man Finds Another City whore
Titles to Property Are Defective.
W. NJ. Cowell has invaded the village
OF Montague, Mich, and encouraged
by the brilliant fight he made a fe,s
years ago to secure possession of a
large tract of property in Jacksonville.
Florida, the veteran Manipulater,s
IS now seeking to get possession of a
tract OF eighty acres of land in the
city OF Montague. The land in cues
ton is in the center of that city on the
banks of White Lake and il is said To
De valued at many thousands Of dol
lars. 1t is IN the thickly settled por-
ton of the city and is built ND with
handsome residences. The claim that
the Kenosha man is making is pretty
tiimsy one but the people of the village
seem to think that it is sufficiently
strong to force them to paylarge sums
OF money in order to secure a clear
title to the property which they now
hold as their homes.
The kenosha man went to Muske-
gon last Friday and at once got husv.
He stated to the attorneys at Muskegora
that he would give them a run for
their money in the United States
Courts and incidentally so frightened
one OF the newspaper men of the city
that he spent two columns ia telling
of the terror that had been raised
among the people of Montague.
Cowell claims that he is bringing
the suit in the Federal Court for a
client who holds fee title 10 the
property inquestion. Years ago this
property along the lake shore was sold
for taxes and the people now owning
the property have secured their fStre.s
by the tax sale route. Of course the
case showed wonderful possibility to
the legal mind of Mr.. Cowell and hei
now ready to fight for the property
until the United States Courts tnrn
him down or until the people Of the
Michigan city secure possession of
their homes by defending them with
shot guns and rifles against any pos
sible intrusion.
In speaking or his light for the val
liable tract of property Mr.. Cowell
stated that he did not expect that the
suit would ever get into the courts bat
that the people who were now in pos
session of the property would realize
the justice of the claim of his client
and settle the matter on an equitable
basis There is little doubt but that
the Kenosha man will reap golden
benefits from the suit and he will prcb-
ably he better rewarded than in his
fghr to secure the Florida city. In re-
gard to this case it is stated that The
United States Court will again rule on
Cowe1l's claim in a short time and the
Kenosha man may be given clear
title to Jacksonville, Florida. Many
people in that city have already secnr-
ed clear title to their property by Sc
curing quit claim deeds from the Ke-
nosha man.

BOYS CAMP AT LUDINGToN.
Thirty Members of the Park Avenue sun
day School Enjoy an Outing in Michigan.

Thirty Members of the Park Avenue Sum
day School Enjoy an Outing in Michigan.
Thirty of the boys of the Park
Avenue M. E. church Sunday school,
are enjoying an outing at Ludington,
Mich, as reward for faithful attend
ance during the winter just past.
Early in the year w. w. Cooper made
proposition to take the boys to the
Michigan city if they would be perfect
in attendance and pay five cents a
week into the camp fund. This thirty
of the boys did, and they will remain
at Ludington until the end of the
present week. The boys are having
a great time roughing it in camp life.
There is plenty Of good fishing and
boating, and an abundance of chances
for the boy to have his daily swim in
the lake.
The Cooper trip to Ludington will
probably be one of the most popular
fixtures Of church life next season.

NEWnPLANT FINISHED.
Latin and Rand Company Ready to Open

Latin and Rand Company Ready to Open
the New.Plant in Pleasant Prairie.
The Latin, Rand Powder Company,
in Pleasant Prairie, will open its new
plant for work during the present week,
the new buildings being completed,
and new machinery is now being ir-
stalled. The Wheel Mills have beef
built in the most modern manner, and
it is expected that the capacity of the
plant will be.greatly increased by the
new machinery which has been put in.
The enlargement Of the plant makes
the Kenosha county plant the largest
in the west, and it is probable that a
large number of men will be added to
the pay roll when the work is we'll
under way again.
The company has been idle for sew
eral months on account Of recent fires
and on account of the large number Of
waiting orders it will probably be
necessary to run night and day.

DRANK POISONED WATER.
Cows Belonging to Michael O'Hare and
Nathan Allen Die From Poison.

Cows Belonging to Michael O'Hare and
Nathan Allen Die From Poison.
Two cows, one belonging to Nathan
Allen and the other belonging to
Michael O'Hare, dropped dead under
peculiar circumstances on Salem ave-
nue. when they were being driven IN
from the pasture last night. The cows
were walking along in front of the
Meiselbach factory and both stopped
and drank some water from pool IN
the street. Ia ten minutes both were
dead. It is supposed that the water
had been poisoned in some manner.
The death of the two cows caused
quite stir among the owners of mich
cows in the city and the. case is being
investigated Many cows are driven
along this street daily to the pasture,
and if the water is polluted it is feared
that it will result in the death of other
bovines.

Notes of the Game.

That man Cassibone was the hero Of
the game. He not only led the team
in batting with three singles and a
two Dagger, but he nipped as pretty a
foul as was ever caught on the dia-
mond All the fans have their hats
off to Mr.. Cassibone.
Wolf seems to be the man IN the
right place. He had hard inning
but he showed the people on the bleach
ers that he is able to play the greatest
uphill game that he can be put against.
He will do.
Peter Hermann didn't look exactly
right in Racine uniform and it was
interesting to watch Pete stroll over to
the Kenosha bench when he came In
from the field. OF course Pete
played for Racine to win, but it
was evident that he had very kindly
feeling when Cassibone sent in those
two runs.
McMannus ought to umpire just one
more game and then quit. AS an UNI
pire he isn't success. He would look
well for sign for BARRIERS school,
That Racine man who stole the ball
in the first inning should be pensioned
by the common council of the Belle
City. He certainly helped.
The next game between the two
teams will be played at Racine on
September 10 and there is no doubt but
that half Kenosha will go up to see
the Kenosha men tate their revenge.
Editor Ez Evane Of he Racine News
occupied seat on the players bench
and contributed not little to the sue
cess of the visitors.
Rivals Defeat ClintOns,

something of twirler and he manag-
ed to make fourteen Of the Kenosha

Fred Chic, an Italian, Makes Des-
perate Attempt to Kill Dominick
Lama on Account OF Love Affair
LAID IN WAIT FOR HIS VICTIM
AS Lama. in Company with the Young
Woman. Left the Opera House Chic
Jumped at Him from Doorway.

Because they were both in love with
the same girl Fred Chic, an Italian
employed at the Allen tannery is
alleged to have made desperate effort
to murder his rival, Dominick Lama,
the we'll known fruit merchant, Sunday
night. The assault occurred just out
side of the opera house. Lama was
twice stabbed in the face, but it is not
thought that the injuries will prove
fatal. Chic managed to escape in the
crowd that gathered but was after
ward arrested by Night Waterman
Owen O'Hare and landed in Jail. where
he is now being held pending the de-
velopment Of the wounds of Lama.
The assault was all on account of a
woman. She is a pretty Italian girl
and is known as Lena Pacini. All day
long she stands in front of the fruit
stand in the Flanagan building and
sells fruit. She is the queen of the
Italian colony in Kenosha and has a
great many lovers. Lama seems to
have the inside track just at present
and Chic, who SPENDS the greater part
Of the day hanging round the fruit
stand, is close second ia the race.
Miss Pacini had shown a decided
preference for Lama, and in fact had
sturdily refused to accept any advances
from the other man.
Sunday night Lama and his sweet
heart attended the play at the opera
house. Burning with envy Chic also
went to the opera house and the sight
Of Lama and the girl was too much for
him. When the theatre was over Chic
hid in dark doorway just west of the
opera house and as Lama and the girl
passed Chic sprang from the doorway
and stabbed Lama twice. Lama had
no chance to defend himself as The
Italian was behind him and managed
to catch him about the shoulders be-
fore he drove the knife into his face.
It is evident that Chic lunged for the
throat, but the knife went wild and in
stead Of cutting the jugular vein it
struck Lama full ia the face Just under
the left eye, making a wound some
two inches long. Had the blow been
half inch higher it would have cut out
the mans eye.
The sta bling was witnessed by hum
dreds Of people and in second the
wounded man was surrounded by a
curious crowd. As the crowd gathered
Chic took this occasion to run and he
managed to get out of the crowd and
up on Main street before he was ap-
pretended by Officer O'Hare. Lama
was placed in carriage and taken to
his home on Church street, and DR..
Spalding was called to attend him.
The wound is a very serious one, but
it is thought that Lama will recover.
Chic declares that he is innocent of
the charge, but both Lama and the
girl claim that there is no doubt but
that he struck the blow which came
near ending the life of his rival.
Miss Pacini seems to be greatly
wrought up over the case and it is evil
dent from her description or the as
sault that her sympathies are all with
the wounded man.
The hearing of Chic was held
before Justice McCarron Monday
afternoon. A continuance was taken
and Chic was held in bonds Of $500.

CHARGED WITH SHOOTING FISH.
Fred schenning of Silver Lake Arrested
by Game Warden Charles Reinardy.

Fred Schenning, formerly a we'll
known hotel proprietor at Silver Lake,
was arrested at Silver Lake yesterday
afternoon by game warden Charles
Reinardy, on charge of shooting
fish. Schenning had killed just one
black bass when he was placed under
arrest by the warden. He was taken
before Justice Blum and was fined
ten dollars and costs. The fine was
paid. The game warden reports that
he has made complete tour of the
county, and finds that the game laws
are being generally observed. The
arrest of Schenning was the only
arrest made in the entire county.
The report that fish are being dyna-
mited, according to the statement of
the warden is without foundation. He
claims that dynamite has been used
but twice in the lakes in this county
and that it resulted in the killing of
less ihan dozen fish.
