SOMERS LOSES SUIT
Jury Allows Jacob R. Hanche
Damages Against Town Board
for Injury to a Team.
AWARDED MORE THAN PROVEN

A jury in the circuit court Wednes-
day afternoon returned a verdict
awarding Jacob r. Hanche damages
to the amount of $295.16 from the
town of Somers. The verdict closed
one of the hardest fought damage
cases in the history of the town.
Hanche had demanded $500 for the
injury of team which fell through a
bridge in the town. 1t was contended
by him that the bridge had been de-
fective for some time, and that the
members of the town board had been
warned of the defects. In the evil
dence presented Hanche had proved
actual injury to the horses to the sum
of 1922. SO, but the jury returned a
special verdict awarding the old man
the larger sum. 1t is thought posi-
BILE that the town will ask for a new
hearing of the case, and that if this
is refused the case will be taken to
the supreme court
The people of the town of Somers
had taken a great deal Of interest in
the case on account of the fact that
another, and more serious claim, had
been filed against the town on &C
count of the same bridge. The other
suit is brought by H. ]. Koh1mann,
and he demands damages to the
amount of $500.
The Koh1mann case will not be tried
at this term of court, as the attorneys
have stipulated that it be laid over
until the March term.

Well Known Minister Of the Ger.
man Lutheran Church Dies
Wednesday Afternoon.
DEATH DUE TO HEART FAILURE
Long and Active Work of Deceased in
Cause of Church Makes His
Death a Sad One.

| The Rev. Frederick r. Schwefe1, a
minister of the German Lutheran
church, and a resident of Kenosha for
the past seven years, died very sud-
denly Of heart disease at his home on
| Washington Island Wednesday after
noon. The exact hour of the death Of
the minister is not known, as he was
found dead by one of his children in
the door yard just back of his home.
J Mr.. Schwefe1 had been in feeble
health for some time, and on account
of his poor health he had been forced
to retire from the ministry some time
ago. He had been living in retire
ment. During the past few days he
had been decidedly improved, and at
the dinner table at noon Wednesday
he talked with the members of his
family and expressed the hope of an
early recovery.
! After dinner he walked out into the
had gone to his room to rest, thought
nothing Of the matter. just before
o'clock one of the chi1dren found
her father lying in the yard. It was
be1ievedlat first that he had tainted,
and DR.. Geo. T. Kimba11 was hur-
ried1y summoned. An examination
revealed the fact that the minister
had been dead for some time.
| The announcement of the death of
the minister caused the greatest
sorrow among the members of the
German Lutheran church in this city
among whom he was universally be-
loved.
| Frederick r. Schwefe1 was born at
Lebanon, Dodge county, on MAY s,
| 1857. He was educated in the schools
of Lebanon and later completed his
education at the Northwestern Uni
versity at Watertown. After gradua-
ton at Watertown he went to ST..
Louis and entered Concordia sSeni-
nary there. He graduated from. Con
cordia in 1888. He was then called
as pastor of the German Lutheran
church at Evansville, ILL.,, which
church he served for seven years. He
then came to Kenosha county and
was pastor of the German Lutheran
church in the town of Paris for seven
years. At the close of his pastorate
at the Paris church he removed to
this city and has resided here since,
preaching many times at the Kenosha
church of the denomination.
The minister is survived by widow
and six children, Paula, Eugene,
Lucy, Irma, Lucie and Edith Schwefe1,
ali residents of Kenosha.
The deceased was devoted chris
tian man and in his long work in the
ministry he did great deal of work
to advance the interests of the church
of his choice. Members of the minis
try and 1aity of the church both pay
tribute to his sterling worth.

Training School to Be Opened in
Connection With Kenosha
Hospital at Once.
BROKE ITS FORMER RECORDS
Twenty-Five Patients Received During
tions Recommendations Added.

Kenosha is to have training school
for nurses as Miss Hall, the superin-
tendent of the Kenosha hospital, an
nounced this morning that one would
be opened in connection with the
work Of the hospital and instruction
be given to limited number of pupils.
The Kenosha hospital is one of the
most largely patronized hospitals in
this section of the state and young
ladies desiring to fit themselves for a
professional career will find the
school most advantageous opportun-
ity for them. The number of pupils
in the school at the present time will
of course be limited, but three or four
young women can be received at this
time and it is possible that later in
the year the privilege may be extern
ded to larger number. The nurses
now at the hospital are all graduates
of the leading hospitals of the north
west and their infuence..and teaching
will be of great value to the,,5young
ladies seeking place in the pro-
fession.
There is great demand for nurses
and the salaries paid to them are at
tractive ones. Several young women
in the city have already expressed
the desire to enter the hospital work
and this opportunity has been given
them. Nearly all the larger hospitals
in the state have training schools in
connection with them but many of the
best nurses have been fitted for their
work in these smaller hospitals.
In connection with the announce
ment that school for nurses is to be
opened, il, is announced that the
month of August was record break
ing month at the hospital. During
the month twenty-nine patients were
received for treatment at the institu'
ton and eleven operations we're per-
formed. September promises to more
than duplicate this record.
The great increase in the number
of patients at the hospital has de-
manded an increase in the equipment
and FIVE new beds have been added to
the wards. The work of charging
the building is now well under way
and the directors of the association
are hopeful that the repairs and addi-
tons will be completed by the first of
November.
Young ladies desiring to take the
course at the training school should
send their applications to Miss Hall
at once.
