DICK WELLEs RETIRED.
Famous Record Holder May Never
Face Starters Flag Again.


Dick We11es may have made his last
appearance on the turf. J. B. Respess
says he will breed ten of his own
mares to Dick We11es next spring,
and permit the same number of out
side mares to be mated to him.
Respess admitted he would endeavor
afterward to train the mighty son of
King Eric again, but he confessed he
had grave doubts of his wonderful
colt standing severe training. We11es
has not faced the starter since the
fall meeting at Latonia in 1908.
Respess is making his Ohio farm a
pretentious breeding plant. He has
two other stations in service, Maceo
and Bellies Commoner, and upwards
of thirty mares. Respess hopes to be
able after two or three years to have
a stable of racers all of his own breed
ing. He says public opinion is against
him in his efforts to establish sue
cessfu1 breeding farm in the Buckeye
state, but he is going to test the ex-
pertinent, and if in two or three years
he finds no good results he will trans
plant his establishment to the blue
grass and begin anew.

MAKES BIG MONEY.
St. James Four Days Bazaar,
Which Closed Saturday Night,
Cleared Large Amount.
FATHER MALONE WINS CANE

The big four days bazaar held at
the A. O. U. W. hall by the st. James
Catholic church of this city closed
Saturday night and it is pronounced
as one of the greatest if not the
greatest success in the bazaar world
in the history of the city of Kenosha.
The bazaar ran from Wednesday
night till Saturday night and every
day supper was served in the hall and
on Thanksgiving day a continuous
dinner was served from noon till late
IN the evening. It is estimated that
during the four days of the running
of the bazaar that at least twelve
hundred people were served meals
Thee figures for the bazaar have no
as yet been fully completed but from
the advance calculations it is estimat-
ed that the gross income from the
bazaar. was $500 and the expenses
not over hundred which leaves net
to the congregation the sum of
81, 400.
Saturday night, the closing even
ing, special raff1es were held and
many beautiful prizes were won by
those attending. The popularity
vote of the various priests for the
gold headed cane took or additional
interest and the votes poured in thick
and fast.
er Father Malone ran way ahead of
his ticket, and captured the cane as
we'll as the honor, by receiving sol
votes. At ten cents vote this means
an income of over $50 on the vote for
Father Malone alone. Father Roche
ran second with total vote of 1874,
and Father Bertram came third.
Father Malone IN speaking of the
bazaar said that he desired to thank
the people of the city generally, and
the merchants and business men es-
pecia1ly, for the hearty support given
the bazaar.
It was hoped at the time of the be-
ginning of the bazaar, that the pro-
ceeds of the bazaar with the private
subscriptions already obtained would
raise the debt of the church. This
debt is in the neighborhood of $4,000,
andsthe private subscriptions have
reached large amount. AS the ba-
zaar has Melted a much larger amount
than even the most optimistic of the
members of the church had hoped, it
is now almost certain that the debt
will be raised in a very short time.
The members of the church are to
be congratulated on the way in which
they have handled this proposition,
and also the way they gave the bazaar
their support.

MRS. DOWIE SEEKS HEALTH.
Wife of the Apostle Will Spend Some
Time Recuperating in the South.

Wife of the Apostle Will Spend Some
Time Recuperating in the South.
Overseer Jane Dowie, wife of John
Alexander Dowie, accompanied by her
son A. j. Gladstone Dowie, will leave
Zion City this week, according to the
announcement made yesterday, to
spend the winter in the south. Ill
health is given as the reason. She has
been a1arming1y weak for several
months, it is said. Her condition and
its causes are described in the Leaves
of Healing as follows:
"She has been suffering from physi-
cal and mental exhaustion, conse-
quent upon the severe trials of the
past years and overwork.
'"The departure of our only
daughter two and a half years ago;
the sorrow and shame she felt, as an
Australian born, at the vile conduct
of the cruel and monstrous mobs dur
ing the around the world visitation in
the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and
Adelaide, Australia, and the further
indignities OF the mobs in London,
England; added to the strain of her
official duties as principal overseer of
women's work throughout the world,
undoubtedly, largely eliminated in
bringing about her present condi-
tom
DR.. Dowie himself announces his
\ absence from Zion City for few days,
returning Dec. 10. He expresses the
hope that his wife will return in the
early spring fully restored in health
DR.. Dowie has received notice that
he has been given $50, 900 by woman
in Scotland, and $4,000 by a second
woman. The gift comes at an oppor-
tune time, as on Dec. II the overseer
will have to meet a payment of $780,
coo on the receivership agreement.

Harold Mcintyre Causes Excite
ment on North Side Saturday
Night Threatens Girl.
JEALOUSY LEADS TO QUARREL
Mcintyre is Captured Sunday Morning
by Officer Mi11ager at the North
Western Railway Station.

Saturday night on the north side,
Harold Mcintyre, in fit of jealous
rage, threatened to kill his sweet
heart, Kate Zapf, and then himself,
if she did not accede to his desires
and stay away from the dance at Ger
mania hall. The young couple are
engaged to be married and have been
for some time past.
1t seems that they are wildly jeal-
Gus of each other and that the young
man s+reuuously objects to the young
ladv d94cing with any other man
than himself. So when she preached
the subject of their going to the Ger
mania hall dance Saturday night he
forbade her and quarrel was the re-
suit. The quarrel became hotter and
hotter at the girls home at 451 Grant
street, and finally Mcintyre became
so enraged at her insisting that she
was going anyway that he drew out
long knife and threatened to kill her
and then himself.
The girl at this became thoroughly
frightened and ran from the house to
the home of neighbor. There was a
party in progress there when the girl
burst into the room crying. When
asked the cause she said that young
man had been following her and an
noying her and that she was fright
ened at his actions. The party took
sudden adjournment and the young
men started out in pursuit. They saw
Mcintyre in front of Joerndt's store
on Milwaukee avenue and gave chase.
When he saw them coming he imme
diate1y started off south on Milwaukee
avenue, then west on Broad street,
and south again on Caledonia street,
where he escaped his pursuers.
When the pursuers got back to the
house the girl told them that the man
was her f1ance and that he had threat
ened to kill her for wanting to go to
the dance.
When Miss Zapf went home little
later her father had returned, and on
hearing her story of the evenings oc-
currences he te1ephoned the police
and went down to Justice Sturges' Of
fee and swore out warrant for the
arrest of Mcintyre on the charge of
assault with intent to do great bodily
harm. Mcintyre was not found Sat-
urday night, but early Sunday morn
ing he was arrested by Officer Mil1ager
at the Northwestern depot as he was
about to leave town.
1t is said that Mcintyre is of an ex-
ceedingly jealous disposition and that
he has had several quarre1s before
with his sweetheart. On one occasion
last summer it is said that he became
violently enraged at some trivial
thing and choked her almost into in
sensibility. He is driver of 1aun-
dry wagon for H. E. Remer and the
girl works at the knitting factory.

LOST ON PIXIES PEAK.
Two Children of Bion J. Arnold
and a Companion Wander
all Night on Mountain.
CELLULOIDcOMBS CATCHFIRE

Losing the trail in the darkness, two
children of Bion J. Arnold, owner of
the Kenosha Street Railway Co., and
companion, passed the night on the
lonely side of Pixies Peak, Co1orado's
famous mountain. AS they crouched
beside fire they had made, police
men and citizens were searching the
mountains, alarmed by rumors that
the party had fallen victims to
bandits.
The searchers worked through the
night, but at daylight the little party
descended to Manitou and at 10 O. clock
reached Colorado Springs, thoroughly
worn. out.
The young explorers, Miss Maud
Arnold, II years old; her brother,
stanly, two years her Junior, and
Harold Maurer, 10 years of age, left
Colorado Springs at 10 O'Clock Satur-
tay morning to climb Pixies Peak
and at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon they
had reached the summit. Neither of
the boys had an overcoat and Miss
Arnold's only wrap was a light
jacket, which she slipped on over her
silk shirt waist when night came on.
The view from the summit was
superb and with the constant dis
coveries that came to their eyes, they
failed to note that day was waning.
1t was 4 O'Clock when the sun dropped
behind peak, and the twilight which
followed was brief.
A hasty start on the descent was
made, but before the party had gone
far darkness came down like a
blanket For short way the trail
was followed through the pines, and
then it was lost. Miss Arnold was
placed beside a bow1der, while the
boys scrambled back and forth seek
ing the lost trail.
In the darkness they c1ambered
over rocks and fallen trees, lighting
matches now and then to aid them.
Several times they had narrow es-
capes from falling into deep ravines.
The trail could not be found.
Singing cold began to bite through
the thin clothing worn by the members
Oh the party, ana II was decided to
build fire. With dead limbs and a
log or two the boys started a blaze
and all crouched around it.
Miss Arnold leaned nearer the
blaze. Suddenly there was flare, as
two ce1luloid combs in the young
womans hair caught fire. Screaming
she endeavored to beat out the fame
with her hands. By that time ner veil
had become ignited. The boys, with
their hands and with snow, extin-
guished the flaming crown, but not
until Miss Arnold had received severe
burns on the scalp. The boys hands
were slightly burned.
With the coming of daybreak the
boys found the trail and the descent
was resumed to Manitou.

SWindler Sells Kenosha Women
Bricks and Paper and Claims
That 1t is Sugar.
BARGAIN HUNTERS SWINDLED
Chicago Swind1er, Alleging that He
Represents Big Grocery Firm,
Catches Many People.

Kenosha housewives have just fall
len victims to one of the most unusual
swindles ever reported to the police
OF the city and by this swind1e it is
thought that the lone Chicago man
who manipulated it carried out of the
city large sum of money. Victims
are appearing from every ward in the
city and it is evident that the man
worked the city to turn and secured
all the profit that his heart could de-
sire.
1t was conceded that Kenosha peo-
pie had gone against every game that
could beinaugurated to get the money
of the trusting public but closer ex-
animation shows that the man from
Chicago had game that was new and
novel and he made it stick in great
shape.
The fellow struck the city just be-
fore Thanksgiving day and worked
for four days. He represented him
self as one of the agents of big
Chicago grocery firm and carried
with him pretty large stock of fairly
good looking staples. He had sugar,
coffee, teas and spices and offered
them at a rate which was so low that
competition by local merchants was
barred.
He seems to have started in to
make only the boarding houses but
the graft worked so well that he ex-
tended his Vaccinations to few of
the private residences.
The man sold only in large amounts.
He turned out good looking granu-
lated sugar at three cents a pound
and coffee that was worth thirty cents
at the stores in Kenosha was sold from
the wagon for twenty cents.
All went well until the packages
were opened and then the women who
had been victimized found that the
sacks and cans contained only small
layer of the food products and the re-
mainder of the can or sack was filled
with sand or bricks or anything else
that had fallen into the hands of the
smooth swind1er.
ne I0lIOW WORKED TaSt and by the
time the bricks were reached he was
in another part of the city, and trust
ing the women to decline to show how
they had been sold, he managed to
make good his escape.
The complaints began to come in
yesterday but by that time the fellow
was far from Kenosha and it is more
| than probable that by this time he is
hundreds of miles from the city work
ing in another state.
| One woman has been found who
purchased more than $50 worth of
groceries from the man and it is al
legged that the entire order could have
been bought for couple of dollars in
any store in Kenosha.
The people of the city have been
caught often enough and it is time
that they awoke to the fact that the
best plan is to trade only with local
| merchants. Patronize the men who
patronize Kenosha and it's pretty
certain that you will get your moneys
worth every time.

REDS ARE DEFEATED.

The Blues defeated the Reds in the
Y. M G.. A. Junior contest for new
members by score of Is to %. The
contest was very exciting up to the
finish on Saturday evening, and the
boys took great deal of interest in
both sides. They failed to secure
thirty new cash members in three
days and so they are not entitled to a
free plate at the banquet, which will
be held in about two weeks.
The new Junior flag has been fin
ished, and is now flying from the flag
staff of the Association with all its
gay co1ors.
