Construction of Inter Urban Rail-
way Will Stop at County
Line This Fall.
NO TIME TO COMPLETE WORK
Farmers in Pleasant Prairie Are Noti-
fed That Company Will Not Invade
Wisconsin Territory This Year.

Kenosha people will not ride to Chi
cago on the trolley line this year, as
the farmers residing in the town of
Pleasant Prairie interested in the COM
p1etion of the tracks of the Chicago,
Kenosha and Milwaukee Railway have
been notified that the construction
crews of the company will not invade
Kenosha county this year, but the
work will be halted at the county line
until the opening of the new season.
The work has been let to Zion City
contractors, and it has progressed in
a very satisfactory manner. The big
steam shove1s of the contra ctors are
now being worked at the very entrance
of Kenosha county, but there is such
short time before the coming of the
winter months that the managers of
the new line have notified the con-
tractors not to cross the state line.
When the work is completed to the
state line it is probable that the crews
will be sent to work toward Wauke-
gan, and it is possible that the line
between Waukegan and Zion will be
ready for operation this year.
This decision on the part of the
managers of the Chicago company
will not interfere with the extension
of the local line in Kenosha, as the
right of way for the through line has
now been determined, and the Keno
sha line will not demand any change
in the plans as made. It is definitely
settled that the through line will en-
ter Kenosha through the grounds now
occupied by the Kenosha Country
Club. It was thought for time that
the sudden death of Vo1ney Foster, of
Evanston, would result in theFaffairs
of the railway company being tied up
pending the settlement of the Foster
estate, but it is claimed that Mr.. Fos-
ter made provision for such an emer-
gency and arranged to have the prop
erty in his name turned over to other
members of the company.
While the work on the line between
the state line and Kenosha will be
done by Zion contractors, it is expect
ed that much of the teamingsswi11 be
let to farmers residing along the right
of way Of the proposed road, and this
will mean that the spring sseason will
be an exceedingly busy oneafor the
farmers in that section of the county.

BODY rs RECOVERED.
Remains of John Rategan Taken
From the Lake by Life
Saving Crew.
NO EXPLANATION OF DEATH.

Just before three O'Clock Monday
the remains of John Rategan,
who had been missing from his
home on Ashland avenue for ten
days, were found floating in the har-
Dor just off the O'Donne11 coal docks.
John O'Donne11 had just gone to the
docks after dinner when he noticed
the body floating in the harbor short
distance from the dock. He notified
Captain Cameron and his men and
the body was removed and taken to
the station. It was viewed by the
coroner and later identified as the re-
mains of the missing man. Later the
body was removed to the Hansen un-
dertaking par1ors.
Ratigan was seen a week ago last
Saturday night and at that time he
was under the influence of liquor. He
was picked up by one of the men en-
p1oyed by Frank Nelson and placed in
carriage and the man had planned
to take him to his home on Ashland
avenue. However, Ratigan asked to
be left block from his home and in
stead of going home later on in the
evening, he went over to the North
Side. One of the city police officers
saw Ratigan at midnight on the same
night and he seemed to be lost. The
police officer accompanied him as
far as the south end of the Main street
bridge and this seems to be the last
time that the, man was seen alive.
Coroner Lansdowne seems to be of the
opinion that Ratigan left the police
officer and wandered down to the docks
and fell into the harbor The condi-
ton of the body would indicate that
he had been dead about a week and
this fact seems to bear out the theory
of the coroner.
Rategan was born and raised in Ke-
nosha county and was well known to
many people in this city and in the
town of Pleasant Prairie. For sew
eral years he was janitor of st.
James church.
Rategan was about fifty years Of
age, and he is survived by widow
and one daughter.

makes sensational charges. He al
1eges:
First-That the said deceased at
the time of the execution of said in
strument had not the capacity to
make will.
Second-That said deceased was un-
duly Influenced to make and execute
said instrument.
Third-That the said instrument is
not the last will and testament of
said deceased.
The will which has been proposed
for probate was made by Attorney
John G. Slater some three weeks be-
fore the death of the elder Dorsey.
Previous to that time he had made a
will in which the homestead was left
to Thomas and James Dorsey. This
will, according to the statement of
the attorney, was destroyed at the de-
sire of Mr.. Dorsey and the new will
made. By the terms of the new will
Thomas Dorsey is given the sum of
$500, while his brother James, who
shared the homestead with him under
the former will, is cut off with mere
hundred dollars. The homestead is
given to William Dorsey and Mrs.
Meredith; and William Dorsey is
named as executor of the instrument.
Judge S1osson has not as yet set a
date for the hearing of the case, but
it will probably come up at the Octo-
Der term of the county court, at which
time the will now on file will be
brought intos court for probate. The
estate ofEDorsey, according to the pc
tition for administration, is valued at
from four to five thousand dollars and
the homestead over which the dispute
is being made is the largest portion of
the estate. Jon account of the sensa-
tiona1 charges made by the contesting
heirs to the estate the contest is at
tracing considerable attention.
