THE PEST HOUSE


The following satirica1 poem re1a-
tive to the recent abduction of the
pest house, was received today and is
respectfully dedicated to the Common
Council by it's anonymous author:
Who has dared to .sswipe" our pest house,
That was once our joy and pride?
Robbed us of our precious treasure,
Bearer than all else beside.
Impious hands have desecrated
Our lone temple of disease,
And it's yellow flag no longer
Floats upon the Sna1Sevi11e breeze.
Vain have been our lamentations,
Vain our prayers for it's return;
Bur a1aS-each sad tomorrow
Leaves us still to weep and mourn.
lis a tale of deeper sorrow,
D Than was ever walled before;
And our utter deso1ation
Has no future Joy in store.
Fare thee we'll then, precious pest house,
Filled with memories so sweet;
Thou art gone-yet orr affection, 88
Still retains its primal heat.

MARSHALL sKIPs AGAIN.
Alleged Insane Person Leaves His Home
in Chicago and Will Not Be Tried.

=
in Chicago and Will Not Be Tried.
Earl Marshall will probably never
be arraigned in the County Court Of
Kenosha for an examination into his
sanity as he is now among the missing
and it is not thought that he will re-
turn either to Kenosha or to his home
in Chicago.
Marshall was to have been brought
to Kenosha on Saturday and his
brother-in-1aw, ]. w. Roberts, after
making all arrangements for the hear
ing, wrote letter to the members of
the family in Chicago asking them to
bring the boy to Kenosha. Marshall
was evidently too shrewd for them,
and when the letter arrived he secured
possession of it and learned the plans.
With these plans he decided that he
was not eady to go before a court
for examination and he left Chicago
at once.
All efforts to locate him have been
in vain. Roberts has notified the
sheriff that no further action, will be
taken in the matter at this time.

Mrs. Amelia 7. BrOadbeck, Formerly
OF kenosha, Held in New York
With Bogus Mortgage.
ASKS KENoSHA TO PROSECUTE
District Attorney jerome Claims Woman
Has Mortgage Stolen From Offce of
w. M. Coweli in This City.

| Attorney Walter M. Cowe11 received
a telegram from w. I. Jerome, Dis
trict Attorney of Greater New York.
last Saturday night, stating that
Amelia I. Broadbeck, a former resi-
dent of this city and woman sup
posed to have been wealthy, was held
in New York.
The charge that had been placed
against the woman was not stated but
Attorney Jerome stated that when the
woman was searched, a mortgage
signed by James Crook of Kenosha,
and made in favor of Levy Eberhardt
of Chicago, was found in her posses
sion.
The telegram stated that the dis
trict attorney had been given evidence
to show that the mortgage had been
stolen from the office of Walter M.
Cowel. The Kenosha attorney at
once notified the New York officials
that this was the case, and it is prob
able that Mrs. Broadbeck will be held
on charge of grand larceny.
The mortgage is alleged to be for
SIS, 900, and was given to the Rev.
Levy Eberhardt to secure a loan of
$1,000. The mortgage covered thou
sand acres of land situated in North
ern Wisconsin.
Attorney Cowel1, in speaking of the
matter, stated that the mortgage
came into his possession number of
years ago and that it had been missing
from his office for some time. He said
that the deal which was made with
the mortgage was the purchase of the
Fairview Manufacturing company, in
which number of Kenosha men were
interested.
Eberhardt had owned the plant and
when the transfer was made, the
mortgage was part of the considera-
ton. Later on the deal fell through
and the mortgage was returned to
Cowe11, who acted as attorney for
Crook in the transaction.
About that time Mrs. Broadbeck,
whom Cowen claims is an adventures,
came to Kenosha. She made a num-
OCl vi Sl1lOWO OCdlS Ill lL1C C1lJs anu II
was alleged that she was wealthy.
When she left Kenosha, she borrowed
the cancelled mortgage from the
office of Attorney Cowe11, and short
time ago it was sent to Chicago for
collection. Payment on it was of
course refused, and this led to the in
vestigation which has placed Mrs.
Broadbeck in compromising posi-
ton.
It is thought that the expose of the
deal will bring out other deals with
which the woman was connected, and
it is possible that the laws of New
York will make it decidedly hot, not
only for Mrs. Broadbeck, but also for
her confederates. The developments
in the case will be watched with inter-
est by Kenosha people who are con-
nected with deals made by the woman.

UNION FALLS THROUGH.
Racine and Kenosha Chicken Fanciers Fan
to Form Scheduled Union.

The meeting at the office of DR..
Y. Z. Hernshein on Sunday afternoon
called for the formation of a Racine
kenosha County Poultry Association
was flzzle, as only four of the thirty
members of the two associations we're
present to attend the meeting. The
faithful few waited long ard anxious
1y for the appearance of the other
members but they failed to come and
It was finally decided to adjourn in
definitely. In speaking of the matter
the members who were in attendance
at the meeting gave out the opinion
that all plans for a union of the two
associations would be abandoned as
there seemed to be no interest taken
in the matter. If the arrangements
fall through it is expected that the
associations will each hold a show
next year. Kenosha has been asked
to unite with De1avan but this plan is
not endorsed by any of the members
of the local association.

MANY TREES KILLED.
Henry Peterson, of Salem, Loses Valuable
Timber Through Ravages of Moles.

Henry Peterson, of the town Of
Salem, has had strange experience
with meadow mo1es this winter, which
cost the lives of ten of the best trees
in his orchard. The mo1es lived under
the snow in the winter and their work
was not discovered until after the
snow melted.
They worked along under the ground
and tunne1ed from one tree to an
other, and for warm sleeping place
they had the manure which was used
for an embankment to the house.
When the snow melted away their
subterranean streets were discovered.
