GOOD NAME I
INJURED
MeLeCd Of the News Brings
Suit Because Of De-
famatlOn Of Character.
Halsey D. Shepard, Def endant.

For newspaper proprietor to. bring
suit for libel instead of being sued is
certainly unusual. On Saturday last
Holsey D. Shepard, proprietor of
bowling alley in this city, was arres-
ted for libel upon complaint of G. J.,
Mcleod, proprietor of the News. He
was coufined in jail but given his lib
erty upon furnishing bail bond in
the sum OF $500. signed by Isaac Lin
coin and G. F. Easton.
The formal complaint filed in the
case alleges, ist., That Holsey d. Shep-
ard kept at his place of business a
slot machine for gambling purposes.
I'd. That on the 25th. day of February
at his place of business the defendant
in. a certain conversation which he
then had with one Chas. e. Kile in
regard to said gambling apparatus or
device, in the presence and hearing OF
divers persona. falsely and malicioslya
spoke the following words OF and con-
corning the plaintiff, to Wit: "You''
meaning said Cha. e Kilew know
how this thing tmeaning said gam
bling spperatus or diyice)works." To
which the said Chas. e. Kiie replied
NO." and thereupon said defendant
said, MACK tmeaning the piatntiff}
gets ten per cent OF It," meaning
that the said plaintiff gets ten per
cent OF the profits OF running said
tgambling diyice or apparatus) 3D.,
That the defendant meant thereby
that this plaintiff was guilty Of the
crime Of maintaining a gambling de.
vice intended to be used In playing q
game Of chance upon which money.
is generally wagered. 4th, That said
words were false and defamatsry, and
that the piaintin IL greatly injured I'm
his reputation and good name, to his
damage in the sum OF 5000.
The line of defence has not yet
been disclosed. The attorneys fer the
plaintiff are Win. Wallace and T.,
w. Crofoot, and for the defence
Campbell & Taylor are engaged.
The matter bids fair to stir up
municipal politics.

but never a buffalo did they see,
York and Harnoise brought about
eight months provisions. After hav-
ing been here long enough to exhaust
the bulk of their supplies and gather.
ing y good quantity of fur pelts, York
took . notion to make a trip to Ft.
Sisseton, leaving Ed to guard their
property, and saying that he would
be back in two or turee days. The
trip was continued for a month, York
extending his journey beyond the
Fort to! Breckenridge, MINI. I'm
donbtedly he fell beneath those wiles
OF civilization for which he had no re-
sistance, and which made him un-
mindful Of the lapse OF time. The
only road out of the country known
to Ed was the wagon track they had
made several months before while
coming and which had long since be-
come obliteraJed. The lonliness of
the passing days and the necessity
for procuring game for food, undoubt-
edly produced a condition of mind
more easily imagined than described.
When York finally returned, 1t isquite
probable that Ed INDUCED in few
remarks.
/ His account OF the discovery by the
whites OF pits of corn raised andstored
by the Rondell indians for early
spring use, would make an interesting
stsiiasii,tneT Il IL Is needless 10 say that that
the Indians were enraged when they
found that their stores had been
tempered with and their show OF fight
was sufficient to cause an appeal to
be. made to the soldiers at the Fort.
The manner by which settler on
the Rondell island was induced to pull
stakes and, with his son, ride bare
back all the way to Wat ertown under
the hellef that the sayages were on
their trail, is doubtless q bit OF un.
written history. II that partic ular

too. Tine story or the comedy drama
by Chas Newton, is a pretty one and
gives an opportunity for many fine
situations, Erickson never loses his
character of an honest, bright, brave
difident Swede. His dialect is never
'overdrawn, 1t Is just natural.
He acts to protection one OF those
noble characters who are loveable at
all times, which however is not diffi-
cult, because ifreports are true he is
that in private life. Much praise is
due Master George, Little Jims
Carts friend. Heis avery bright lad
and natural actor. The supporting
company was creditabie. The inter-
est OF the audience never tagged and
by ripples Of laughter and applause
they continually let it be known. It
was one Of those productions in which
the audience was in sympathy, and
when the hero did good brave act,
their approval could not only be felt
but heard. Those who have In times
past almost cried and then cried and

BOOM FOR QUARLES
Congressman Lands OF Indiana Names
kenosha's Favorite Son as Can
didate for Vice. Presidency.
QUARLES SAYS ITS A BIG JOKE"

United States Senator Joseph Very
wee little boom for the nomination
for vice-president on thesRepub1ican
ticket in Washington yesterday, and
the mention of his name as possible
! candidate for the high honor, was
greeted with cheers by the members
of the lower House.
Congressman Lands, of Indiana,
was responsible for the little boom
being launched.
Mr.. Lands was discussing the
Fairbanks of Indiana, and in this con
nection he stated that he knew of no
one in the nation that was more fitted
for the office of Vice-President than
the Junior Senator from Wisconsin, j.
Y. Quar1es. Continuing, Mr.. Lands
said, II know of no more popular man
than Senator Quar1es, and his nomina-
ton would be generally acceptable to
the Republicans.
The news of his proposed nominal
ton for the ice-presidency was
quietly broken to Senator Quar1es at
his home last night, and the Wiscon-
sin Senator laughed merrily ssand de-
c1ared that he was in no wayssa candi-
date for the position of running mate
with President Roosevelt.
He backed up his statementisby de-
claring that he considered the action
of Congressman Lands asgreat joke.
There is little possibility Ethat the
former Kenosha man will sbe named
for place on the ticket, butlthe fact
that he has been suggested for so
high an honor shows the high regard
in which he is held by members of his
party in the lower house of Congress.
Senator Quarles is rapidly forging to
the front and he is nows regarded as
one of the leaders of thesupper house.

WULFF A BANKRUPT
Former KenOsha Manufacturer Filed a
PetitiOni in Bankruptcy in United
States Court Monday.
LIABILITIES PLAcEDsVsT s2s, 6s5

Anton Wu1ff, formerly aIwe11 known
manufactures of organs and pianos in
this city, filed a petition in bankruptcy
IN the United States court at Mi1wau-
kee Monday afternoon and he will be
adjudicated bankrupt within the
next ten ola S. Wu1ff schedules liza
bilities amounting to 500, 635. "a and
assets to the sum sof $546. 90. The
largest creditor as shown by the petit
ton is the Union National bank, of
Racine, which held note on Wu1ff to
the amount of 1910, 900. ]. Dodge, of
Madison, is the next3 largest creditor
with note of $4,000. It is probable
that Wt1f has large number of
creditors in Kenosha but no list of
them has as yet beenSgiven out.
The fling of the petition did not
come as surprise to the Kenosha
creditors of the former manufa cturer
as many of themS,had expected that
he was planning to take this step.
Wulff has been resident of Keno
sha for more thanss twenty-five years
and for time he was well known as
a manufacturer. He opened the or
gan factory on Wisconsin street and
for time it was successful bust
ness venture. For many years the
old factory has been closed and Wu1tf
has been in business as a piano sales
man. It is claimed that he is an ex-
pert salesman for pianos and he has
been making considerable money in
this way. It was supposed that Wu1ff
owned considerable property in Ke-
nosha but it is said'to be the property
of his wife.

Kenosha's mysterious poet has con-
tributed another seni-serious episto1-
airy bouquet to the News which is
herewith appended. In spite Of our
earnest efforts, the identity of this
anonymous rhyming rooster remains
as deep mystery as ever.
Some day our cars will ali be running smoothly
And none of them will be half an hour be-
hind;
Some day the motorman won't run beyond each
crossing.
And maybe the stern conductor will be kind
Perhaps?
Perhaps some time our light bills will be
cheaper,
And following this maybe our heating plant
will heat;
Some day wise laws may be enacted
'Gainst ladies leading pug dogs onithe street
Perhaps?
1t may be that some time our Common Council
Will be composed of Prohibitionsnen;
And each saloon will run a gospel mission,
And every one will be reformed again
Perhaps?
Who knows but that the fashions will be altered
So that in time spring bonnets will cost less:
Will be so just we will not feel Distress
Perhaps?
Some future day perhaps we'll all be truthful,
And hang our banners out of mortal sight;
Some day our lawyers will encourage justice,
And who can tell but doctors will forget Z
fight
Perhaps?
Perhaps some time our Board of Education,
Will meet in harmony and peace;
And some sweet day the Caster case be settled
And all expensive litigations cease
Perhaps?
It is not vain to hope the day is dawning,
When sewers will adorn the s.swampy Third; 2
And some bright morn, like jar of mighty
thunder,
Authentic news from Cooper will be heard =

PATENT FOR PIRsCH
Kenosha Man Gets Patent ON New Piece
Of Fire Apparatus

Alderman Peter Pirsch has applied
70 Washington for 8 patent on new
apparatus for the use Of fire fight
ers which it is said will be of inest-
Unable value to fire fighters in all
parts of the country. The device is a
simple one and combines III a very
small tool means for opening locked
doors and a device for shutting off
hose when there is a break in the
main. The device is c1everly con-
structed Of wood and steel and can be
manufactured at small cost. Chief
Barr when shown the device yester-
day said that he thought that the in
vention was one of the best made for
tire lighters in many years and that
its manufacture would place the
Plrsch company on easy" street for
years to come.
The company this morning COM
pleted the work on the new combina-
ton wagon that is to be added to the
equipment of the Kenosha fire depart
ment and the wagon will be ready for
delivery to the Central Engine House
next week. The wagon is certainly
beauty and it is SO far in advance of
the old wagon that the fremen will
be tickled to death when they get it
over to the city building. It is of the
latest pattern in every way and every
single piece of it was made right in
the city of Kenosha. It has many
improvements over the old chemical.
1t is fitted with tank for chemicals
and the beauty of this tank is that it
is inexhaustib1e. AS fast as the
Chemical is poured out the tanks keep
producing more. It is also fitted out
with two of the Pirsch patent ladders
and has two Babcock fire extinguish-
ers. The wheels are ball bearing
and this improvement alone will save
fifty per cent of the draft of the
wagon. The wagon will cost the city
1880 but the rnanufac turer stated
this morning that it could not be
duplicated for less than $500.

DON'T WASTE TIME CoURTING
Marry Young, is Advice Given by Dowie's
Lieut.. In Zion City.

Get married early and don't spend
too much time counting, is the advice
given by Overseer Speicher to young
men and women. DR.. Speicher is
supreme in authority in Zion City dur
ing the absence of John Alexander
Dowie and his views on matrimony
appear in the current edition Of the
Zion Banner. Some of them are:
believe in open, comparatively
short courtships and early marriages.
The young man should first find
religion, then vocation, then wife.
Po1ygamous marriages arctic be abb
horred. The Bible is square against
them.
A man can get married on $40 a
week, but there must be economy.
What matter if | went to medical
school in patched trousers.
A man who chooses wife when he
is young is much more likely to be
happy with his wife than at an adj
vanced age.
The best time to marry is between
twenty-three and twenty-five years of
age.

Simon Ar9nsen an Old Resident at the
Poor Farm Hacks His Throat With
Razor Friday Night.
HADN'T STENGTH ENOUGH TO KILL
Old Man Despondent ON Account of Misfor-
tunes Makes Terrible Effort to End
His Life Hut Falls In Attempt.

Over eighty-three years Of age and
finding no comfort in life, Simon Am
onsen, one of the inmates of the city
poor farm, made desperate effort to
take his own life last night by hack
ing his throat with -azor. The old
man is still alive and it is probable
that, thanks to prompt medical as
sistance, he will recover.
The tragic event occurred shortly
after seven O'Clock Friday evening.
Amonsen had been a ward of the city
for the past seven years and he was
among the number taken to the poor
farm at the opening of that institu-
ton. Friday night he failed to come
to supper with the other inmates of
the house and later on when one of
his companions went to the general
sleeping rooms on the second floor
he found the old man sitting up in a
chair with blood flowing freely from a
great cash in his throat. In his hand
he held a bloody razor while the blood
which flowed from the big cut in his
throat covered the floor about him.
Keeper Grant was hurriedly summon
ed and after a short struggle was able
to take the razor from the old man.
He admitted that he had planned to
take his life but he was so weak and
emaciated from recent illness that he
did not have strength to force the
knife through his windpipe. Keeper
Grant rendered the first aid to the
wounded man and then hurried to the
city to secure the services of the city
physician. DR.. Spau1ding hurried to
the poor farm and after taking eigh-
teen stitches he managed to close up
the frightfu1 wound and the old man
is now on the way to recovery.
Dependency is given as the cause
of the rash act For several
days he had been morose and Fri
day night he had declined to eat with
the other inmates of the institution.
For days he had kept the razor hidden
under his pillow and there is no doubt
but that he carefully planned his
suicide. Amonsen had one daughter,
the sole surviving of his fam
lily ana ne thought a great zeal OF her.
The daughter had been coming to see
him until recently when she was taken
sick and being unable to come ITO the
poor farm she had sent her husband
to call on the old man. The old man
seemed to resent this seeming lack Of
fi1ia1 regard and insisted that his
daughter was attempting to forget
him.
1t is claimed that Amonsen was at
one time in af1uent circumstances
but years ago he lost his money and
since that time he has been wander
er and has spent most of his time as a
ward of the city.
The old man was removed to the
Kenosha Hospital today and every
effort is being made to save his life.
