HoRsaMEN HOLD A BANQUET.

Lovers of Harness Races Gather at the Har-
man Restaurant and Plan for Next Year
The horsemen in the city were in a
social mood last night and ten of them
gathered at banquet at the Hartman
restaurant after which plans for the
coming year were talked over. Nearly
all OF the best known horsemen of the
city were present at the banquet and
the plans for next year were discussed
from every stand point. The plans
are not as yet ready for the public
but they will certainly provide for the
opening of track near Kenosha at
which regular meets will be held 1t
is possible that later on the Kenosha
men will decide to go into the state
trotting association.
The men decided that on next Sat-
urday afternoon they would GO in a
body to Waukegan and arrange for
number of snow races on the speedway.

Chicago & Milwaukee Railway Com
pany Finally Gets Possession Of Con-
tested Land at Winthrop HarbOr.
NO DELAY FROM RECEIvERSHIP
Company Now Has Right of Way Practic
ally from Waukegan to Kenosha and
Building OF Line VIII Start Soon,

The long contest oyer the railway
right of way at Winthrop Harbor was
settled this morning when deed was
filed with the Register of Deeds trans
ferring the Winthrop Harbor strip to
Charles lockwood, the representative
of the Chicago, Kenosha & Milwaukee
Electric Railway Company. The filing
of this deed is of great importance as
it gives the company practically all
the right of way between Kenosha and
Chicago with the exception of the
right through Zion City and through
the grounds occupied by the Kenosha
Country Club. Arrangements are now
pending for an amicab1e settlement OF
the purchase of the rights through
both these tracts of ground. The
Winthrop Harbor strip has long been
In contest between the parties inter
ested in the settlement of the Receiv-
ership of the Winthrop Harbor and
Dock Company and the men who held
the notes of the company had insisted
that this right Of way was one of the
biggest assets of the company. In.
court the matter was fought out and
Judge Belden decided that the COM
pany had an equity in the property and
that if they desired to purchase the
right of way they could do it by pay
ing about three thousand dollars for it.
The matter was left open for many
weeks but the company, represented
by lockwood, finally came to time and
paid over the money and secured a
sheriff's deed for the tract of land.
1t is considered by real estate men
that the price paid for the land was a
reasonable one. It is hard to tell what
effect the sale of the property will
have on the settlement of the affairs of
the Winthrop Company and the
Dream City,, but it is possible that
the creditors of the associates of Van
Vlissengen will appeal to the Supreme
Court. A bird in the hand is always
considered as infinitely more valuable
than one in the bush and In this case
it is probable that possession will

Chester Atkins the Last Survivor oil
the Famous Kenosha 0rganiza-
ton Dies at Ripon.
A MAKER OF STATE HISTORY.

Chester Atkins, aged 81 years, pio-
neer settler of Southport and the last
surviving mem Der of the socialist So
ciety organized in this county and
known as the WISCONSIN Phalanx,'
died at his home near Ripon Sunday.
Atkins had lived at Ripon for many
years.
The death of Atkins recalls the or
ganization of "The Phalanx." TWAS
organized in Southport in 1874 and it
has always been considered one of the
most unique socialistic movements
ever known ia Wisconsin. There we're
eighteen members of "The Phalanx''
and they went off from Southport to a
point near Ripon where they formed a
community which should be governed
entirely by the laws Of justice and
equity. Many of the early settlers in
Kenosha still recall the great stir that
the action of the little colony made in
the world at large. "The Phalanx'
was not founded on any religious
principles and all religions we're recog-
nized among the members. The law
of right was the only law of the COM
munity, and for years it hourished.
Marriages occurred in the community
and after few years the land was
held by the seven or eight families
that remained. With the breaking up
of ssThe Phalanx' the members Of the
community divided the land between
them. Mr.. and Mrs. Atkins took a
farm near Ripon add had resided there
ever since. They were the last sur
vivors of the band Of eighteen. Mrs.
Atkins died few months ago.

winthrop Harbor Man is Arrested on a
Charge of Beating His Wife
Chris Lofnk that distinguished citi-
zen of the State line who has caused
no end of trouble for the deputy
sheriffs of Kenosha and Lake counties
was arrested Sunday afternoon by
deputy sheriffs Harry Timme and
Owen O'Hare on charge of beating
his wife. The woman is confined to
her room at Winthrop Harbor with a
couple of black eyes and a badly bruis-
ed face. The assault occurred on Fri
day, and Saturday evening the son of
Lofink came to Kenosha and secured a
warrant for the arrest of his father.
Lo6nk was brought to Kenosha and
lodged in jail, He admits that he
gave "the old woman" two blue eyes
and seems to be glad he did it. He
claims that there are two sides to the
question and that he will be able to
show that he was only taking care OF
himself when he landed on the woman.

ANOTHER MAIN COMING.
Cooking Main to Be Held at Roundout In
the Next Few Days


the Next Few Days
Waukegan sports, some of whom at
tended the cooking main at Winthrop
Harbor Thursday night, say that an
other fight is soon to be pulled off at
Rondout. The exact location of the
pit and the date of the meeting is
shrouded in mystery, the reticence IN
this regard probably being to guard
against interference by officers of the
law.
The report of the affair at Winthrop
Harbor is matter Of surprise to many
residents of that locality who pledg e a
careful watch that the performance is
not repeated there.
It is said that some of the fighting
stock which is to participate in the
main at Rondout will come from
Highwood. It is possible that the
Rondout report is given out to at
tract the attention of officers to that
locality, while the fight is being pulled
off elsewhere.
Local fanciers have been urged tc
enter birds and they have received as.
surances that the word will be passed
around in plenty of time to allow them
to attend.

ALL OVER A DOG
w. b. Parks Held in Bonds of a Hundred
Dollars for Stealing Canine.

Justice Sturges is busy with dog
cases just at present and Monday
night William B. Parks was arrested
on charge of larceny, the specific
charge being that he had stolen a dog
belonging to John H. Johnson. Evil
dence in the case shows that the dog
was purchased by Johnson for a
quarter, but Parks was held in bonds
of hundred dollars to answer the
charge against him on next Friday.
Parks claims that he is innocent and
that the dog preferred to live with him
rather than Johnson and that he re-
fused to turn him out. Johnson claims
that he paid the license on the dog and
has right to him. The dog was not
in court to express his preference so
the case was continued.
