People Declare That the Kenosha
Electric Railway Co. Fail to
Observe Their Contract.
TRANSFERS ARE REFUSED
Matter is Brought to the Notice of City
to Issue Printed Transfers.

Renewed complaints have been
made to the city council committee
on account of the fact that the Keno
sha Electric Railway Company is vio-
lating the agreement with the city in
the matter of charging double fares
for passengers. The running of spe-
cial cars on Sunday for the benefit of
people attending entertainments at
the parks about the city has offered
to the agents of the company the
chance to make this double charge in
fares and the conductors on these
special cars have refused to issue
transfers to people deciding to make
trip over other portions of the route
not included in the selected route for
the special. In order to carry out the
contract for the use of the streets of
the city the agents of the company
have the right to collect but five cents
for trip over the route and it is up
to the people to demand theit rights,
For some time the agents of t1e COM
pany in Kenosha have been urged to
secure printed transfer tickets for the
use of passengers on the cars but the
company has declined to make this
move and has announced that it is not
their intention to do it. At the pres
ent time the passengers are trans
ferred at the Market street ending of
the lines and on ordinary occasions
the people are pretty we'll cared for.
However in direct violation of the
contract with the city the conductors
as well as the General superintendent
for the road have repeatedly declined
to issue transfers to people riding on
these special cars.
Sunday a wordy war occurred be-
tween the uperintendent and one of
the passengers, but the Superintend-
ent won out and the passenger was
forced to either pay his fare or walk.
He chose the former plan and paid ten
cents for single trip.
Since the road has been operated
the company has refused to meet the
requirement of the ordinance and the
people are demanding that some steps
be taken to enforce this law to the
very letter.

HAD AN ACCIDENT
Party of Kenosha Base Ball Fans
Injured by the 0verturning of
a CarryaII.
WAUkEGAN MAY PAY DAMAGES

Eight young men of Kenosha who
went to Waukegan Sunday to witness
the base ball and foot ball games, had
narrow escape from serious injury
and as it was, one of them, Michael
Sheridan, returned home with a badly
sprained leg. The party had wit
messed the game and had started to
drive back to Kenosha. They were
IN big three-seated carrya11, be-
longing to Matt Mungen and lust
after they had left the north limits of
Waukegan they came to a stretch OF
the road that had been recently gray
eled. The gravel was piled high in
the middle of the road and when the
team started to pull the heavy wagon
through it the wagon was overturned.
All OF the members of the party were
thrown out but by rare good fortune
the team did not start to run and
Sheridan was the only one to sustain
serious injury. Every one of the
members of the party was more or less
bruised.
The carrya11 was badly broken in
the accident and when the injured
had been picked up it was taken back
to Waukegan and repaired, so that
the trip to Kenosha could be made.
The horses seemed to have escaped
injury but when the stable men looked
them over this morning it was found
that one of them had been badly in
jured.
The men in the party claim that
the road was decidedly dangerous
one and it is possible that suit for
damages will be instituted against the
city of Waukegan on account of the
accident.

COLLEGE rs BEATEN
Kenosha High School Foot Ball
Players Win the First Came of
the Season Saturday.
KENOSHA W0RSTS WAUKECAN

With the exit of the base ball season
the foot ball season was opened in
kenosha on Saturday afternoon when
the team from the High School met
the team from the College of Com
MERGE at Athletic field. The rivalry
that exists between the two teams
was shown by the large crowd that
gathered to witness the initial strug-
gle of the year. The game was a
great surprise to the followers of the
two elevens as it was thought that the
College team would be more than a
match for the High School boys but
when the Highs started to work there
was nothing to it and at the end of
the game they had rolled up score of
twenty one to nothing. The High
School goal was not in danger during
the game and it was evident from the
start that it was only a question of
the number of points to be made by
the High School players.
The High School boys started with
the ball and rushed it down the field
IL A\eAI snap dAO WuCn InG
was made for the fourth down O'Don-
nell shot out from under the crowd of
players and started for the goal, With
pretty run of seventy-fve yards he
placed the pigskin beneath the goal
and proceeded to kick goal. Score
High School s; College 0.
This ended the scoring for the first
half as the College Boys put up a
stubborn resistance and the ball was
kept pretty close to the center of the
field.
Just after the opening of the second
O'Donne11 got the ball, on a blocked
punt, and carried it over for another
touchdown but missed an easy goal.
Score Highs IL; College 0. After
few more scrimmages C1eary got ahe
ball and made a forty yard run for
the goal posts. O'Donne1l again failed
at the goal kick. Score Highs 1o;
College 0. The last touchdown was
made by Alfred Grosvenor, who car
ried the ball forty yards for touch
down. Score Highs 81; College O.
The showing made by the High
School boys was a most encouraging
one and the Waukegan team will have
to go some to beat the locals.

SUPERVISORS GET READY.
Annual Meeting of the County Board
to Be Begun November Is.

Annual Meeting of the County Board
to Be Begun November Is.
County Clerk Crosby has begun to
get things in readiness for the annual
fall meeting of the board of super
visors, which will begin at the court
house on the morning of November
Is. The meeting promises to be an
uninteresting one and few matters of
great import have been brought for
ward for the consideration of the
supervisors. The matter of settling
the dispute over the price to be paid
for the care of the insane made home
less by the Racine fire is practically
settled and the county will pay other
institutions for the work done during
the time that the Racine county in
stitution was closed. No bills will be
presented the board for building new
bridges and nothing will be done
toward the repair of buildings owned
by the county. An effort will be made
to find some way to get some revenue
out of the old county building and
many of the supervisors are in favor
of renting it at almost any figure.
The most important matter to come
up before the board will be the annual
apportionment.

Bluff City Team Takes First Of a
Series of Games With the
KenoSha Team.
LOCAL TEAM MAKE ERRORS
Crowd of Nearly a Thousand People Sees
the Slaughter of the Ken sha Team
at Waukegan.

The Kenosha base ball team went
the limit on Sunday, when it came
home from Waukegan with the black
and red of Kenosha trailing in the
dust, and with score of six to one
cha1ked up in favor Of the Waukegan
team.
It was the same old story of bad
playing, and every man on the team
seems to have had some trouble in
locating the ball at the proper time.
There was no use to argue the ques-
ton, 1t was simply a case of Wau-
kegan out-p1aying the locals, and
they won the game on it's merits.
Heimer1 was in the box for Kenosha,
and he pitched a game worthy of bet
ter support than was given him. Bub-
ser, who had been cast off by Kenosha
months ago as incompetent, pitched
for Waukegan, and he pitched game
that was worthy of National
Lacquer.
The main trouble with the Kenosha
team was the old tendency to throw
the ball about the diamond, and the
errors made by the infeld were suffi-
cient to give the Waukegan team the
lead. There was not an earned run
in the game, and the sole score made
by the Kenosha team, an alleged
home run by Dillon, was simply a
gift of the Waukegan players and
luck.
1t was in the last half of the fourth
inning, when with one man out Dill
Ion sent ball out to the right field.
1t reached the field and landed in a
pile of brush. 1t seems that fate was
with Kenosha to save a shut out, and
in some manner the ball seemed lost
entirely. Before the Waukegan play
; ers had fshed the ball out of the
brush Dillon had made the circuit of
the bases.
The slaughter for the Waukegan
team came in the first inning, when
four runs we're made. All of them
were due to errors of the Kenosha
players. In the third Waukegan
completed the score by adding two
more runs to it, and then the men
wiz WCAC PAoy AhS oh IAOAA O"h hCAu
rested. Then came the fourth in
which Kenosha got its only run.
After the game was over there was
long squabb1e between the mana
gers over dividing the gate receipts.
The manager of the Waukegan team
refused to pay over the portion due
the Kenosha team on account of the
fact that the latter had game sched-
u1ed at Racine for next Sunday. The
wrangle went on until train time,
when finally the local manager and
his team 1efti without getting the
money. It is probable that the other
game with Waukegan will be can
ce11ed. A small crowd witnessed the
game.
The score of the game follows:

MEYER LEAVES AGAIN.
North Side Boy Gives His Father the
Slip and Gets Out .ofsTown.

Sebastian Meyer is again missing,
ar1a the parents of the North Side
boy have again asked the police to
aid IN searching for him. He disap-
peared on last Saturday but his father
found him on Sunday with the aid of
the police.
On Monday the father and the boy
started fo1 the Chicago-Kenosha Ho-
siery works to get the boy employ
ment. When the pair reached the
Middle street crossing of the North
Western the track was blocked by a
freight train, and after waiting for a
few seconds the youngster climbed
under one of the cars. When the
train had pulled out he had disap.
peared.
Since that time his parents have
not been able to obtain any trace Of
him, and it is thought possible that
he caught freight train and went tt
Chicago or Milwaukee.

If it had been anyone but poor des-
pissed Waukegan it wouldn't have
been so bad-that was the limit.
Oh, we'll, we just consider the
everything finally comes to
him who waiteth and wearies not.
We went down expecting to part
with our lungs but the proceedings
were of such nature that our voices
were never raised higher than stage
whisper.
Elmer Savage Indignantly denies
that he was instrumental in the ball
being lost that was batted beside him
and resulted in Kenosha's lone tally.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
Elmer kept the Waukegan fielder
busy probing a, gopher hole until after
Dillon had turned third and then he
suddenly showed him where the ball
really was.

COAL THIEVES BUSY.

Coal Pile of A. Grams Robbed to the
Extent of Half Ton.
Thieves in Kenosha are getting to
be daring again, and Sunday night
unknown parties entered the premises
of A. Grams on Main street and car
ried away half ton of coal. The
coal had been placed in the yard Sat
urday, and the men evidently dis
covered it Sunday afternoon.
In order to carry the fuel away it
was dumped into shoe cases, and it is
supposed that a wagon was hauled
up to the gate to aid the thieves.
