THIEF DREW A GUN.
Apple Thief Forces Frank Cos.
teIIo to Allow Him to
Remove Fruit.
PROTEST ANSWERED BY GUN

With revolver pointed straight at
his Lead Frank Costello, foreman of
the McDermotte farm in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, was forced to allow
an unknown thief to remove wagon
load of apples from the farm on Sum
day afternoon. The robbery was one
of the most daring ever known in the
history of the farming community of
the county.
The McDermotte farm has a large
orchard and the trees were grooming
under the weight of ripening fruit.
Sunday afternoon Costello saw'a man,
accompanied by woman, let down
the fence and drive into the orchard
The fellow went up under one of the
trees and began to fill the bed of the
buggy with apples. Costello pro-
tested from a distance, but the long
distance protest had no effect and the
man and woman continued to gather
in the fruit at the rate of a peck a
minute. Then Costello got hot and
started to GUST the man and..woman by
main force and forwardness. When
he came up the man eyed him for a
minute and when Costello ordered
him off the farm the man calmly drew
a revolver from his pocket and point
ing it at Costello ordered him to take
for the house. Costello complied and
the man stood guard with the revo1-
yer while the woman completed the
work of filling the wagon with apples.
Costello, overcome by the nerve of the
thi ewes, failed to see the way out of
the difficulty, but he made an effort to
follow the couple to the city. The
matter was reported, but the identity
of the daring thieves could not be
discovered.
Repeated complaints are being re-
ceived from the farmers in the county
that fruit lis being stolen in large.
quantities and every effort is being
made to locate the guilty parties.
Some of the farmers have armed
themselves with shotguns and rifles
and they will not run the risk of being
forced to stand idly by while their
fruit is taken by strangers.

The report shows few facts of in
ter est more than that the o1dsp1an of
raising the city and reducing the
county has been carried out to the
letter. Of course there has been
some addition onto the city, but it is
hard to see how these additions of ter
ritory would tend to reduce the value
of real and personal property in
towns IN the central part of the
county.
The usual strange statements are
made by the assessors, and it is evil
dent that the usual amount of prop
erty was overlooked in the making of
the assessment.
The assessors reports show that
there are 5,731 horses in the county to
the value of 1868, 975; %, 266 cattle of
the value of $487, 617; 10, 100 sheep and
lambs of the value of ISIS, 477.45; 616O
swine valued at $35, $40. There are
3,016 wagons, carriages and buggies
and all of them are worth Sol, TAI.
The number of watches has gone up
to twenty-nine, with total value of
81, 600. Pianos in the county took a
big jump during the year, and 279 are
reported with value of $50, 755.
The bank stock in the county is
valued at $88, 900 and the Merchants
and Manufacturers stocks touch the
high mark at $1,5O3.715. Five auto
mobiles are returned for taxation and
their value is placed at So, 800. The
total amount of money On hand

returned for taxation is 1913, 946.o8.
On this report the county board at
its coming meeting will make..the as

MAKE MANY CHANGES
Methodist Ministers in kenosha
County are Sent to Other
Points for Work.
REV. MONTAGUE TO LAKE MILLS

The sessions of the Wisconsin con-
ference which have been held at She
boygan for the past week closed Mon
day evening, and general change of
the ministers in Kenosha county was
made at the last session.
Only two of the ministers at
churches in the county were returned
for another year. The Rev. o. P.
Christian, who has been inCcharge of
the church at Bristol, returns for an
other year, and the conference needed
the demands of Park Avenueschurch,
Kenosha, and returned the Rev. WV.
Stevens for another year of useful
ness.
The most noteworthy change in the
county is the removal of Chester r.
Montague, the pastor of the churches
at Salem and Wi1mot. Mr.. Montague
has been sent to Lake Mills. The re-
firing minister of the Salem church
has been one of the best known minis
tiers in the county and, while he had a
very limited territory to work in, his
light had by no means been hidden
and his work had effected the morals
of the entire county. The people of
Salem and Wi1mot had sent lengthy
petitions to the conference asking for
the return of Mr.. Montague, but in
the wisdom of the conference the
minister deserved a broader field of
labor and he was sent to Lake Mills.
E. V. Fisher, one of the younger mem
bers of the conference, will take the
place at Salem.
The Rev. S. r. Williams, who has
been in charge of the Pleasant Prairie
church for the past two years and
whose return was unanimously sought
by the members of the church, was
sent to the village of South Mi1wau-
kee, and the Rev. B. T. White will be
in charge of the work at Pleasant
Prairie. The church at Somers is left
without a pastor but the station will
be supplied from time to time by men
selected by the presiding elder of the
district. The Rev. E. Kaneen was
sent to the Racine Mission church
and he will have charge of the church
at Berryvil1e. The Rev. A. Jaggers
was returned to the church at Genoa
Junction and he will be in charge Of
the Methodist churches in the west
ern part of the county. Ali of the
ministers returned from the confer
ence this morning.

TERRIBLY INJURED.
Gustav Maurer, of This City, Has
Both Arms Cut Off in an Ac.
cident at DeKaIb, Ill.
HAD BEEN MISSING A MONTH

A report has been sent to this city
that Gustav Maurer former Kenosha
boy who resided with his mother at
$40 Park street was terribly injured
several days ago at DeKa1b, ILL.,, the
injury necessitating the amputation
of both of the arms of the young man.
Details of the accident have not been
received at the Maurer home and
nothing can be learned in regard to
the present condition of the young
man.
Maurer had been employed as a
workman at the Simmons factory
until month ago when he suddenly
disappeared from his home in this
city and since that time the members
of the family had not been able to
secure any trace of his whereabouts.
Maurer is said to have gone to De-
Kalb ILL.,, and it was at this city that
the accident was alleged to have
occurred. The only thing stated in
the report was that Maurer got caught
under the wheels of train.
A call at the home of the young
man this morning disclosed the fact
that none of the members of the
family we're at home but the neighbors
stated that the family did not give a
great deal of credit to the report of
the terrible injury to the boy. These
people state that the young man left
home a month ago and that his people
had not heard from him since.
Maurer was twenty years of age and
was well known among the younger
workingmen of the city.
