Kencsha Man Injured on the North
Western Railway Gets Good Set
tIement From the Company.
MAY SUE INSURANCE COMPANY
Railway Company Settles With Parker
without the FOrmality of an Action in
COurt-LOst His Left Hand.

Truman T. Parker has received
check from the officials of the North
Western Railway company for the
sum of $4,000, in settlement of his
claim for damages against the COM
pany for injuries received while rid
ing on one of the trains of the com
pany some eight months ago.
Attorneys consider the sett1em ent a
good one. The company showed a
tendency to be perfectly fair in the
matter, and to this end the attorneys
for Parker and the company got to-
gether and arranged the settlement
of the damages without taking the
matter before the courts of the county
and state.
Mr.. Parker still has claim of S10,-
900 against New York Accident In
surance company and efforts are being
company. Mr.. Parker has made a
demand for the full face of the policy
but the company has refused to meet
this demand and it is probable that
suit will be instituted to force the
company to pay at least the larger
portion of the amount demanded by
the Kenosha man.
The injury to Mr.. Parker was an
unusual one. 1t occurred about eight
months ago, and at the time Mr.. Par
ker was just completing his educa-
ton to enter the profession of an os-
teopath.
He had started to go to Chicago and
had boarded the smoking car. He
then started to pass on to the day
coach when the train stopped sud-
denly and he was thrown from the
platform. The fall was of such a
violent nature that Parker was not
able to save himself from injury. He
fell to the ground at the side of the
track and his left hand went under
the wheels. One of them passed over
his hand and it was so mang1ed that
the doctors found it necessary to re-
move the four fingers. He is now en-
tire1y recovered from the injuries but
he claims that he is totally disabled
from the practice of his profession.

TALES OF COVENTRY
William Ward Wight, of Milwaukee,
Speaks Before the Mems Club OF
ST. Matthew's Church.
THE MUSICIANS MAKE A BIG HIT

Coventry, Conn, that little Yankee
town fraught with interesting remin-
is cences of the war of the Revolution,
was the subject of noteworthy adj
dress delivered before the Mems Club
OF St. Matthew's Church last night
by William Ward Wight, of Mi1wau-
kee, the Registrar of the Wisconsin
Society of the. Sons of the American
Revolution.
Mr.. Wight was the guest of honor
plates were laid for one hundred and
fifty, and which proved to be one of
the most enjoyable dinners ever given
by the club.
In speaking of Coventry, Mr.. Wight
recalled the interesting stories con-
nected with the place, but spoke
especially of the "Two War Deacons"
Deacon Richard Hale and Deacon
Kingsbury. The story of the two
deacons brought up again the inter
esting story of Nathan Hale, the first
great Patriot, and the beauty Of the
life of the man as a scholar was
brought out in striking manner.
Mr.. Wight told the pretty romance
of Margaret Kingsbury and Nathan
Hale and showed the great part that
the two had played in the great war
of the American Revolution. Mr..
Wight was the only speaker of the
evening, and after the address was
over the members of the club retired
to the auditorium of the hall where
program of music was rendered. In
strumenta1 music was rendered by
the Brown Orchestra of Chicago, a
number of the members furnishing
solo parts. The work of Mr.. Lindsay,
the v1o1inist, was the feature of the
evenings entertainment. John Nc
Wade and w. G. Hayward, Of Chi
cago, and Keck Wheeler who are great
favorites with Kenosha people, rem
dered a number of vocal solos.
Col. George w. Carruth, who was to
have spoken on "The Negro Cues
tion," was called 10 Little Rock yes
terday morning and he will address
the club later in the year.

Attention
FafrlleFS.

Why remain in the North
and stay indoors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are stock raiser
you know your stock are now
''eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
flesh-forming and fat-forrning
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
materials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general
farming, fruit and berry grow
ing and truck gardening along
our road in the South than in
any other section of the Union. :"

"WiId Cat" Insurance Companies De-
ing Business With Ignorant For
eign Born in Ken0sha.
POLICIES SAID TO BE WORTHLESS
Inspectors and Adjusters VIII Make an
Effort to Discover the Perpetrators Of
Crimes and Secure Punishment.

! In the settlement of the fire loss
sustained by the, people residing in
the building used as the headquarters
Of the Brand Brewing Company, re-
Gently damaged by fire, it has been
discovered that the iso-ca11ed "Wi1d
Cat' Insurance companies aressssdoing
business in Kenosha. Assswould be
expected, the agents of these COM
panies have not attempted to do bust
ness with the better classes, but they
have confinedStheir work to the igno-
rant foreigners who would not know
an insurance policy from missionary
tract.
The policy, which was brought to
! light during the adjustment of the
loss on the Brand building, is one
written by a Chicago company un-
known and unlisted. The policy,
which alleged to be for the sum of
81 700, was about as crude an instru-
ment as could be found in a days
travel. 1t had been made out evil
IDENTIFY in Chicago, and while on the
| face of it, it seemed to insure against
| loss, competent authorities who ex-
amined it today declare that it would
be impossible to collect a cent of in
surance under it's terms. There is
not signature on the policy and all
the names of agents and officers alike
have been put in by a rubber stamp.
| It covered the household goods of one
lof Is b. o. 49, 49,
saloon and the policy shows that he
paid between six and twelve ido11ars
for the insurance.
| On the back of the policy it stated
! that the premium was twelve dollars,
while on the reverse side the pre-
MUM is set down at six dollars. The
adjusters who were in the city today,
claim that there is no such company
in existence, and it looks as if the
| policy was put out for the sole pur-
pose of defrauding the unwary out Of
the few dollars to be secured as a
premium on the policy.
For many months every effort has
been made to warn the people of the
city against just such swind1ing COM
panies, but the men who resided in
| the house burned, claim that there
are many similar policies held by for
eigners in the city, and it is possible
that these swindling companies have
taken quite a sum of money out of
the city.
| If the policy was written by any
Kenosha agent, he has been careful
! to shield himself, as his name does
not appear on the policy and they are
all rubber stamped by some man in
Chicago, whose whereabouts will
probably be as hard to find as the nee
die in the haystack.
The people of the city can secure
from any agent list of companies
authorized to do business in the state
and they can be convinced that any
losses sustained by these companies
will be paid in full and without
quibb1

MORE WALKS RUINED
Malicious Mischief Makers Destroy Two
Hundred Feet of Cement Walk in
Seven Oaks Addition.
POLICE SEEKING GUILTY PARTIES.

The malicious mischief maker is
again at work in Kenosha, and last
night more than two hundred feet Of
cement walk, being. built by Petersen
and Jensen, the contractors, in the
Seven Oaks subdivision, was COM
plete1y ruined by boys parading up
and down over it. The outrage was
committed just before dark last night,
and people in the neighborhood
watched the boys tear down the bar
riers and walk on the uncomp1eted
walks. They shouted to them to keep
ing the boys shouted back curses and
continued to run over the walk. The
loss to the contractors through the
work of these mischief makers will be
in the neighborhood Of hundred dol
lars, and it seems that the contractors
have no redress.
The matter was referred to the po-
lice this morning, and every effort is
being made to locate the boys who are
guilty and secure their punishment.
In the past few weeks these makers
of malicious mischief have been rum
ring wild in Kenosha, and they have
damaged property valued at many
hundred dollars. Trains have been
stoned and windows broken, and the
boys or men guilty of the crimes seem
to have been able to make good their
escape. Three of them have been ar
rested, and sentence was suspended
on them. If others can be discovered
the police will insist that they be pun
ished to the fullest extent of the law.
The boys seem to have no idea of the
property rights of the people of the
city and violate them with impunity.

The disclosure of the tremendous
scope of the frauds has pointed clearly
10 the need for more stringent lerisla-

Mr.. Marx was. therefore. intrusted with
the task OF drafting a new bill. in con-
junction with Clarence :. Houghton ,

This bill was introduced last session

and delivered lengthy addresses on the
subject, and It Is expected that IL will
