JENSEN A HERO.

Evidence at Coroner's Inquest Shows
that He Gave His Life to Save Others.
At an inquest held before Justice
John 7. Lee IN the town of Cor1iss
yesterday afternoon, it was clearly
proven that James, Jensen, young
farmer twenty-eight years old, from
Somers. kenosha county, sacrificed
his life III an attempt to save a pas
senger train on the Chicago, Mi1wau-
kee & st. Paul railway from being
wre cked, at a point two miles south
of Cor1iss. The train contained eleven
coaches filled with people and was
running at the rate of forty-eight
miles an hour. Had it struck the gaso-
line engine and hay press, disabled on
the crossing, there is no doubt but
that there would have been a loss Of
life.
Attorney Thomas M. Kearney was
present at the inquest representing
the road, and also claim agent Burns
and other officials. They took the
greatestinterest in the testimony and
the brave e fort made by. Mr. Jensen

Residence Of Ralph Moore on
Crate Street Entered
This Morning. /,
WOMEN BADLY FRIGHTENED.
Burglar, After Ransacl1ing the House,
Tckles Wonan's Foot to Give the
Alarm and Then Escapes.

kenosha burglars are evidently the
limit, and one of them who ransacked
the house of Ralph Moore on Crate
street this morning was so anxious
that the daring crime be discovered
that he went to the bed in which one
of the women of the house was sleep
ing and tick1ed her foot. The woman,
Miss Alma Monteen, 1eaped out of
bed and gave the alarm, but the burg
lar managed to escape detection and
is still at liberty.
The crime was committed between
three and four O'Clock this morning,
and the burglar went to house some
four doors south of the Moore home
and secured a chair with the aid of
which he managed to open room at
the Moore home. In the room Miss
Clara Schueler, yof Denver, a guest of
Mrs. Moore, and Miss Alma Monteen
Of this city, were sleeping. Miss
Schue1er had ten dollars in the top of
her trunk, and it is thought that this
fact was known to the burglar for as
soon as he entered the room he made
bee line for the trunk and succeeded
IN securing the pocket book contain
ing the money.
One of the young women was
awakened by the entrance of the man
but she was SO frightened that she
was rendered speech1ess. She saw
the man rifle the trunk, but was
power1ess to shout for help. The
fellow seemed to take delight in his
work, and went about it with d great
deal of precision.
After he had secured the pocket
book he turned to the bed and Miss
Monteen was sleeping on the side
nearest the burglar. The fellow no.
ticed that the foot of the young woman
was sticking out from under the bed
covering and he went up and tick1ed
the bottom of the girls foot. Miss
Monteen awakened with start and
rushed at the man but he managed to
leap through the window and escaped.
In the meantime she had aroused the
other members of the household and
a telephone to the police brought Of
hcer Biennemann to the scene. By
that time the neighborhood had been
aroused and chase after the burglar
was started. His foot prints were
plainly seen IN the soft dirt under the
window and by the aid of the foot
prints the man was traced as far as
the corner of Prairie and Fremont
avenues but at that point all trace of
him was lost.
The members of the party gave up
the chase at daylight and this morn
ing it was taken up by the members
of the police force. There is no clue
to the identity of the guilty parties,
but the police hope to land them. The
burglar was certainly the most daring
one that ever worked in Kenosha and
if captured he should at least receive
a leather medal for his daring.
