GOT THE WRONG MAN
Police of KenOsha Arrest Two Men Al
legged to Have Been Mixed up
With Waukegan HoId-up.
ONE MAKES ALLEGEDj CONFESSION.

Two men in the employ of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph company were
taken into custody Sunday morning
by the members of the Kenosha police
force, on the suspicion that they had
been connected with daring ho1d-up
and robbery at Waukegan Saturday
night. Officers Kelly and Erickson
came to Kenosha from Waukegan ac-
companied by the man who had been
held up, and the result was that the
two men we're released. 1t is still
thought, however, that the Waukegan
robbers are in hiding in this city and
the kenosha officials are making
every effort to locate them.
The crime of which the men were
accused was one of the most daring in
the criminal annals in this section of
the country. Just before ten O'Clock
Saturday night two masked men
walked into the general store of E. P.
Binninger at Waukegan, and point
ing revolver at the head Of the pro-
prietor of the store demanded that he
open the safe. The man attempted
to parley with the robbers, but shot
fromoone of the revo1vers brought
him to time. When the safe was
opened the men hurriedly rihed it and
left. They started north from Wau-
kegan and managed to e1ude the Off
GERS of the town
The following morning an unknown
man, supposed to be tramp, walked
into the tower of the North Western
railway company near Market street
in this city and declared to the keeper
of the tower that he had been with
the men who he1di up the Binninger
store. He alleged that he had been
left outside to watch the police while
the other two robbed the store.
His story was communicated to the
police and he was promptly arrested
and held pending the arrival of the
Waukegan officers. When they ar
rived he repudiated his confession,
and the WaulSegan men not being
willing to make a charge against him
he was shown the limits Of the city.
It is not thought that the fellow
was connected with the daring crime.

Kenosha Team Wins two Batting Con-
tests From the Athletics on Sum-
day and Decoration Day.
cUMiSKEY PITCHES GREAT BALL.
Local Pitcher Makes His First Appearance
in Fast Company and Shows That he is a
''Comer"-Scores of the Games.

Eddie Cun1iskey, local pitcher
who has been regarded as a pretty
good thing for some time, made his
first appearance in the box for Keno
sha on Monday afternoon and he was
largely responsible for the defeat of
the Chicago Athletics by score Of
5 to /. The game was one of the best
seen IN the city this season, and what
was also gratifying, was that it was
the second victory over the Athletics.
The Kenosha team captured the game
on Sunday by a score of nine to eight.
After the showing made by the
Athletics Sunday, many of the fans
were little fearful when Cumiskey
was pitted against Black, but there
was no cause for alarm, as the Keno
sha boy outp1ayed his opponent at
every point. Cumiskey had the
Athletics guessing from the start, and
he managed to strike out eight of
them and only seven managed to get
hit. Black was a pretty easy prop
osition for the Kenosha batters and
they touched him up for ten hits.
For five innings the game Monday
was pitchers battle, but after the
fifth inning the Kenosha boys began
to land on Black and the shouting was
over SO far as the Athletics were con-
cerned. The Kenosha boys scored
one in the sixth and four IN the
''lucky' seventh. The Athletics
have way Of finishing strong and
they managed to get their only run
in the ninth inning. The score of
the Decoration Day game follows:

delivered in that gentleman's most
effective manner. 1t began with the
reading of a poem entitled, "The Vet
eran's Vision After stating why it
is due the Grand Army, living and
dead, to observe Memorial Sunday
and Memorial day, the speaker said
in part:
''This nation does not consider the
Union soldier of the COS a by-gone
factor in an old time issue now dead.
The work of the dead comrades is one
with the continued effort of the living
comrades to build a monument wor-
thier and grander than any or all OF
those wrought in bronze or stone; that
monument the American Republic
steadily assuming the proportions,
strengths and g1ories which Were in
the thought of the God of nations
when He sent the Mayfower across
the Atlantic, landed the Pilgrims on
Plymouth Rock; moved upon the
fathers to bring forth the two civil
documents unparalleled in the annals
of governments, the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
the United States.
One Of the essential elements in the
construction of this monument is
liberty. Two kinds Of liberty there
are. That of the savage, and that
only step higher, of the anarchist.
The analysis of anarchy. It's cure
is not in hanging or shooting the an
archist, though this may be neces-
sary; not in legislation, though this
is an absolute necessity; but in reach
ing down into the iniquitous quarters
where it's children are born and fos-
tered, developed and trained, and edu-
eating them to true conception of
genuine freedom. Following, he
drew an analysis of true American
freedom.
Lessons were drawn from parallel
ing the year 80 A. D. and this year
1904, and the contrast drawn between
the application of human expedien-
cies then and now, and the sure sue
cess and happy prosperity that might
have followed if the principles. of the
Man of Nazareth had been adopted
and lived, man with man, and that
may now prevail with their prevalence
in daily life.
If American citizenship is imperi1ed
no one is to blame but the American
citizen. If American citizenship is
rescued it must be by the American
citizen in his consecrated patriotic
unse1fsh spirit. It is of small avail
that men fought and died to save the
government, and we commemorate
their va1or, if, by wholesale corrup-
ton we betray that government.
In conclusion the speaker spoke
feeling1y of the passing of the veter-
ans, the nations old guard. The ma
ton cannot be too grateful nor too
unse1fsh in alternating the want of
the needy veteran. His few remain
ing years should be of comfort and
happiness sublime, in the conscious
ness of a life consecrated to the cause
of liberty.

The Game Sunday.

The game on Sunday was more of
contest and the Athletics came near
beating the Locals out in the last
inning. AS it was, the score was I'M
comfortably close, and the best the
Kenosha team could do was to win by
a score of 9 to s.
Dougherty the White Sox pitcher,
made his first visit to Kenosha on
Sunday, and he pitched a rafting
good game. Black started in to pitch
for the Athletics, but he was batted
at will by the s1uggers of the Keno
sha team and Harley Parker, one Of
the old time pitchers, went into the
box. At the end of the fifth inning
Kenosha had what seemed to be a
safe lead and then the Kenosha boys
began to let up little on the scor-
ing. With runs to 2, it looked too
easy.
The Athletics made one,in the sixth
and when the eighth came round, bad
errors by Schoo1ey and some oppor-
tune hitting allowed the Athletics 4
runs. In the ninth they managed to
get another man across the rubber
and Andrews attempted tos tie the
score by making daringaEstea1 from
third base. He was caught at the
plate and the trouble ended right
, there.
The score Of the game Sunday

Six Sheep and Lambs Belonging to Peter
Shearer are Torn to Pieces.
It has sbeen some years since the
cry of ''wo1f.! wolf - has been heard
in the quiet precincts of Kenosha
county, but it. is now alleged that
wolf is attacking the focks of farmers
in the town of Somers, and number
of sheppard lambs have been killed.
The heaviest loss so far has been
reported by Peter Shearer. He stated
that Tuesdays night wolf or pack
of dogs got into his pasture and man
aged to kill six sheep and lambs.
Four were found dead this morning
and two others were so badly bitten
that they will have to be killed. It

carcasses seems to indicate that the
sheep were killed by wolf. Mr..
Shearer has loaded up his shotgun
and the wolf or dog found on his
premises will have a hard time pre-
serving his "honored health"

Italian Who Claims He Was Held up
Attempts to Fire a Gun in
Officer Cuttings Face.
DR.. ROBINSON'S MARROW ESCAPE
The Doctor was Passing the Alley When
the italian Began Firing. and He
Narrowly Escaped Injury.

Frank Germ1n, celebrity among
the Italians of the city, occupies a
cell at the county jail, and he is
charged with an indiscriminate use
of a revolver on last Saturday night.
According to the story told by the
police officers both DR.. HI. A. Robin
son and Police Officer Euting mar
rowly escaped being the victims of
the aforesaid gun. On the other
hand Germin claims that he was held
up by five men and that the shots were
fired in self defense. He insists that
he did not shoot at the officer, but ad-
n1ts that he was very much under the
influence of liquor at the time the
shooting was done.
Germin had been having a lovely
time Saturday night, and was evil
IDENTIFY getting ready for quiet day
at home on Decoration day. He man
aged to load away vast amount of
bad whiskey, and he con1d2sjust walk
when he started for home. He de-
cided to take short cut through the
alley between Wisconsin-iand South
street near the Ellis drugstore. He
had been in the a11eys1on1y a short
time when shots were heard, and DR..
Robinson rushing nout sof the drug
store heard bullet whizzs'past I'M
comfortably close to hisshead. Police
Officer Euting also heard the shots
and hurried into thes alley to ascer-
tain the cause of the trouble.
He found Gern1ins lying on the
ground, and when he came up to him,
according to the story Of the officer,
Germin pu1led1out his revolver and
holding it close to theE officer pulled
the trigger. Some kindg fate served
the officer we'll, and athe' cartridge
proved to be a bad ssone and failed to
explode.
Germin tells an 'entire1y different
story of the matter. rs He claims that
he was walking throughs the alley
when a band of five men attacked
him, and one of the men managed to
snatch his watch. The other men
were arranging to got through his
pockets when he pulled his revolver
from his pocket andsbegan firing.
He admits that he fired two shots in
the air to brighten the men who held
him up, but declares that the story of
his firing at 0the policeman is with
out foundation. He claimed that he
thought that he was in deadly peril
from the men and that he was tick1ed
to death when'the policeman came in
sight andl saved him from the gang.

CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY.
Garnie Plew, Reports to Police the Loss
of Twenty-Six of His Prize Fowls.

of Twenty-Six of His Prize Fowls.
Chicken thieves are again at work
in Kenosha county, and Garnie Plew,
a well known chicken raiser of the
town of Pleasant Prairie, has reported
to the police the theft of twenty-six
of his prize fowls. The crime was
committed on last Saturday night.
P1ew resides just outside the city
limits and he keeps the fowls under
lock and key all the time. On the
night in question the houses were
broken open and the fowls taken.
There is no clue to the guilty
parties, but the police believe that
the chickens were brought into the
city and are making every effort to
locate the guilty parties. For some
time the chicken raisers residing in
the Pleasant Prairie neighborhood
have been bothered with thieves and
several hundred dollars worth of fowls
have been stolen.
