Andrew OIesen, a Swedish Farm
Hand, Seeks Arrest OF Well Known
People on Strange Charge.
MAN THOUGHT TO BE DEMENTED
Claims That Poison Had Been Placed In
Ills Coffee but Doctor Finds No Trace
OF 1t or of It's Effects.

Andrew Oleson, Swedish farm
hand who has been employed on differ
ent farms in the county for some time
came to Kenosha Tuesday and made
an effort to secure the arrest of
one of the best known farmers of the
county on a charge of making an
effort to poison Oleson. The story
was related to the district attorney
and to several other attorneys IN the
city but all of them refused to stand
for the prosecution of the farmer al
1eging that Oleson was laboring under
ha1lucination. Oleson protested that
poison had been placed in the coffee
which he had been given to drink and
insisted that the poison had SO effect
ed him that he was unable work. He
came to Kenosha Monday morning
and related his story to well known
physician and asked that he be given
medicine to counterfeit the effects Of
the poison. The doctor who had been
treating Oleson for some time made
an examination of the man and felt
assured that he had not been poisoned
and refused to give him the medicine
he had asked for.
The doctor was seen Wednesday
and when speaking of the matter he
stated that the story of Olesen was
probable imaginary as the man showed
absolutely no traces of poison in his
system. The district attorney, after
talking with the man, refused to take
up the action that he had suggested
and told the man that if he had a
grievance he had better bring it in the
way of civil action. Olesen seemed
greatly disappointed when the attor-
ney refused to bring the charge against
the man.
The attorney, in speaking of the
matter, stated that he felt convinced
that there was nothing in the story
and that it would be unwise even to
mention the name of the farmer in
connection with the groundless charges
made by O1esen. Olesen seems to have
had some disagreement with his en-
ployer ia regards to wages to be paid
to him and this seems to have fur
nished the cause for his actions. This
fact was shown more clearly Tuesday
evening when a warrant was filed
to garnishee sorie of the money
which had been earned by Olesen and
n which the man who was charged
with attempting to poison him was
named as the defendant. Olesen is
still seeking an attorney to bring the
action and it is hardly possible that he
will find one as all the attorneys seem
to agree that there is nothing of foun-
dation for the case.

BREAKS ALLRECORDS
Ice Harvest on KenOsha County Lakes
Promises to Be the Largest in
History of the County.
MAY REVIVE THE OLD TAX LAW

To the changing accompaniment of
chains and ice cutters three thousand
men are at work on the lakes of Keno
sha county putting into the ice houses
the greatest harvest of ice ever known
in the county. The ice is more than
sixteen inches in thickness and is of
the finest quality ever harvested here.
The work is going forward without
interruption and the managers Of the
big companies are so jubilant over the
prospects for a great season that all
demands of the men in reason are be-
ing complied with. The men are re-
ceiving better wages than ever before
and it now looks as if the season would
pass off without a single break between
the men and their employers. The
trains from the ice stations are carry.
ing from forty to fifty cars dali = and
besides this large amount of ice large
surplus is being cut and placed in the
houses in the county. AT the rate the
ice is being harvested al the present
time all the houses will be filled to
over flowing by the first of the year.
With this apparent prosperity OF the
ice companies move has already been
made to revive the old tax law on the
ice taken from the inland lakes of the
county and the representative of the
county has already been approached as
to the possibility of law being
passed. The last tax law Of this sort
was declared unconstitutional after a
short fight in the Supreme court of the
state but the promoters of the last law
are at work on new measure which it
is thought will be constitutional. The
last law provided tax of ten cents a
ton for every car Of ice taken out of
the county.
The taxes for single year would
have resulted in the payment of thous-
ands of dollars to Kenosha county but
it would have killed an industry which
at the present time is giving employ.
ment to three thousand men. There
is no doubt but that this measure will
be bitterly opposed by the people of
this county and all counties in which
the ice cutting is the big winter en-
ployment.
