Bernard BaIster Of the Town OF
WheaiIand Celebrated His Ninety
Seventh Birthday Saturday.
FAMILY MEETS IN REUNION

Bernard Ba1ster, nestor of the town
of Wheat1and, celebrated the ninety
seventh anniversary of his birth on
last Saturday and in honor of the
event many of the members of the
family went to Wheat1and to attend
the family reunion held at the home
and to extend congratulations to the
a family dinner was served at which
many generations of the family were
present. During the dinner the guest
of honor reca11ed many of the inter
esting incidents in connection with
his long life in the town of Wheat
land and the dinner proved to be de-
1ightful feast of Renaissance. Ber-
nard Ba1ster is one of the old, if not
the oldest, residents Of the county.
He was native of Germany but came
to this country more than half cen
fury ago and settled with his family
in the town of Wheat1and. He has
been resident of the town ever since
and has been one of the most inf1uen-
tia1 citizens. His holdings of real es-
tate are among the largest in the
town, and he has taken great inter
est in the development of Wheat1and
Mr.. Ba1ster has never been in politics
more than as private and he has al
ways been a staunch supporter Of
Democratic principles. Although
nearing the century mark he is still
hale and hearty and is perfectly able
to look after his varied interests in
Wheat1and and other parts of the
county. His health has never been
better and he feels that he will live to
celebrate his anniversary of full
century of life.
Quite a number of Kenosha people
went out to Wheat1and to take part in
the celebration Of the birthday ami
versary.

PEST HOUSE is FOUND
Emergency Building Stolen from the
City Many Months Ago Dis
covered by COmittee.
HAD BEEN USED FORa A k5ARN

The mystery surrounding therrtheft
of one pest house from the city of Re
nosha has been solved, for Yesterday
afternoon while one of the council
committees was nosingssabout Just out
side the limits of the city they came
upon little building which looked ia
miliar and after close inspection
they discovered that the building was
none other than the pest house which
had been built by the city some fifteen
months ago during the small pox
scare. The pest lI-house had been
changed little but the aldermen
were still able to recognize it and they
at once took. steps to secure possession
of it. The members of the committee
of detectives who made the discovery
refuse to give the name of the cu1prit.
but they claim that the robbery was
as daring one as was ever committed
in Kenosla. The little house had
been set on avacant lot just outside
the city limits and some sever months
ago It suddenly disappeared. EThe
members of the council and members
of the police forces held council of
war and started search for the miss
ing building but found nothing of it
and its whereabouts had remained a
mystery deep and unfathomab1e until
Monday. 1t seems that the man who
took the'-pest house had been in need
of barn and thinking that the citys
splendid .edifice was not needed for
the care of the sick he appropriated
it and placing it upon truck had
hauled it to his own door yard. It is
possible that the pest: house will be re-
covered and brought into the city for
use as votings place flor the fifth
ward. Some of the peop1e:of the ward
oppose itssnse for this1rpurpose but the
council will probablyismake this dis
posa1 of it.

FOR A LODGE HOME
Members Of Odd Fellows and Knights
Of Pythias in kenosha Make
Plans for Building
HOME FOR BENEVOLENT ORDERS.
Reported That New Building lie to Replace
Old Long Home" ON Church Street
During the Coming Summer

A movement has been started
lodges Of Knights of Pythias and Odd
Fellows to form union for the pur-
pose of building a splendid new lodge
building in Kenosha during the COM
ing spring. The building which will
be the joint property of the two lodges
will be erected IN the business district
and it will be sufficiently large to
provide large home for the members
for many years to come.
The lodges are among the strong
est in the city and each of them has
large membership. The Odd Fellows
is one Of the Oldest Of the fraterna1
orders established in Kenosha and
while the lodge is not numerically
large at the present time the mem
bers are very enthusiastic and seem
to be convinced that they will be able
to raise their share of the money
needed for the new building. For
many years many of the lodges in the
city having no lodge home have been
using the building occupied by the
Knights of Pythias as a lodge hall
and it is thought that with the erec-
ton of the new building all of the
rooms will be utilized for the halls of
the different lodges in the city MAX
ing the building a sort of a society
temple.
The location that has been selected
for the new building is an ideal one
as it is close to the business and resi-
dent districts of the city and will
make a handy place for the meeting
of the different societies. 1t is also
reported on good authority that an
other of the benevolent organizations
of the city has taken an4option on the
old building at the corner of Church
and Park streets and that when legal
difficulties have been surmounted
work will be started on the building
of another club home.
Kenosha lodges are growing so
large that there is demand for lodge
halls and it is probable that the
scheme of the Odd Fellows and
Pythians will prove a paying invest
ment to the stockholders Of the asso-
citation. The plans for the organiza-
ton of the association will be made
public in the near future.

ELOPED TO CHICAGO
Joseph Hines and Miss Mabel Gregory
Give Their Friends in Kenosha
a Pleasant Surprise.
YOUNG COUPLE WE'D SECRETLY

Announcement was made Sunday
of the marriage of Joseph Hines and
MisseMabe1 Gregory, two we'll known
young people Of the city, and the mar
riage was not without it's romance.
The two young people were united in
holy natrimony on last Wednes-
day in Chicago and they have been
spending short honeymoon in the
South before returning to Kenosha to
make their home. The announce
ment of the wedding came as a great
surprise to the friends of the young
couple and as even a greater surprise
to the families of the young man and
woman. Both Hines and his bride are
minors and it is claimed that the mar
riage of the two had been opposed by
the parents of both the bride and
groom. They had been going togeth-
err for some time but they had not
limited to anyone that they were plan
ming to be married. On last Wednes-
day Miss Gregory, whose parents re
side in Pleasant Prairie went to Chi
cago for a visit with some friends
there. Hines followed on the first
train andsoon after he reached the city
the couple secured license and went
to the home of a minister where they
were married.
The parental forgiveness mas not as
| yet been vouchsafed for the bride and
groom but they seem to be perfectly
happy and can wait for the blessing
as long as is necessary. The groom
is one of the best known of the young
er employees of the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company. Mr. and Mrs.
Hines go to housekeeping with the
best wishes Of a large circle Of
| friends.

Arthur Lindstrom is Shot Through The
Side While Repairing Target
Rifle Sunday.
INJURY MAY BE VERY SERIOUS.
Lindstrom Was Attempting to Repair a
Sight When the Gun Was Discharged
Bail Passed Through Body


Arthur Lindstrom, aged twenty
years, residing with his parents at Z
Park Court, was shot and seriously
wounded at noon SnndaY while MAX
ing an effort to repair target rifle.
The bullet entered the boys side just
below the heart and was removed by
the physicians Sunday evening after
a long search had been made for it.
The condition of the young man was
satisfactory to the physicians this
morning and it is thought that he will
recover but he will probably be Grip
pied for life as result of the sad ac-
cident.
Young Lindstrom and companion
had gone to the golf grounds at noon
Sunday and had set up target for
practice. The boys had been shoot
ing for half an hour and the compan-
ion of Lindstrom discovered that one
of the sights on the rifle was not in
working order. The companion was
holding the gun and Lindstrom made
an effort to fix the sight. Neither of
the boys seemed to think that it was
necessary to remove the twenty-five
long cartridge from the rifle. While
Lindstrom was bending over the gun
attempting to drive the sight back
into place the weapon exploded and
the ball struck him in the body just
below the region of the heart.
The companion of Lindstrom rushed
over to the home of the boy and Sc
cured aid and the injured boy was
carried home. DR.. Cheever was hur-
ried1y called to the house and an ex-
animation showed that the bullet had
passed almost entirely through the
body Of thelboy. For several hours
the doctor worked over the boy at
tempting to find the bullet. Late
Sunday evening the bullet was located
near the back bone and it was neces-
sary to operate to remove it.
The escape of young Lindstrom was
a most narrow one and had the ball
penetrated the body half an inch
higher it would have passed through
the heart and would have undoubted-
ly killed the boy.
The accident to young Lindstron
should serve as a warning to other
boys to beware of the loaded rifle.

LOYAL TO JOE MURPHY.
Irish of the City Give Their Favorite Come
dian Warm Welcome

There was a sort of an. Irish festi-
val at the Rhode Opera House Sun
day evening when Joseph Murphy
came to Kenosha for his annual en-
gagement. The house was we'll
filled and the veteran actor was
greeted with applause at his every
appearance. There is plenty of the
"Auld Sod'' in the Kerry Cow, and
what is more to the point is that the
people never seem to tire Of it. Mr..
Murphy has presented the play in
Kenosha many times, but his recep-
ton last night testified to the fact
that the people never tire of the
wholesome Irish comedy.
The company supporting Mr.. Muir
ply was up to the high standard
maintained by him in other seasons.
