HERO REGARDED cHEAPLY
Boy is Dragged Three Blocks in Stopping
Runaway and Gets q Quarter

Boy Is Dragged Three Blocks in Stopping
Runaway and Gets Quarter
The fact that hero is not regarded
as an expensive luxury was shown on
Sunday afternoon when Corby Fox
was dragged three blocks in an effort
to stop runaway horse and for his
pains and injuries he received the mag.
nifcent amount of quarter of a
dollar. The man to whom the horse
belonged is supposed to have come to
Kenosha from Racine. When the
horse started to run the man offered a
reward to the person that would catch
it. Young Fox jumped out into the
road and caught the running horse by
the bride. The horse pitched the
young man high in the air but he held
on and after he had been dragged for
three blocks he managed to stop the
animal. When he brought the horse
back in triumph the owner with an
ELUSIVE smile presented him with
whole quarter. It was afterward learn.
ed that this was the smallest change
the man had.

RIOT AT "A WEDDING.
Three Men Arrested For Making Trouble
at Lithuanian Function.


From all reports wedding among
the Lithua mans on the North side last
Sunday night could have been used as
celebration of the Chinese New Year
or any other fierce celebration needed.
Three of the guests Of the wedding
were ia Justice McCarrop's court this
morning accused of starting a riot by
saying insulting things to the bride
and fourth of the guests, the only one
who made the complaints, was beaten
over the head with billiard cue Mon
day night and it will probably be sew
eral days before he can appear in court.
The complaints all charge assault
and continuance of the cases was
taken until later in the week. More
of the parties to the action can speak
the English language and for this
reason the court will probably have
a hard time in giving out exact justice
to the men under arrest.

SEEK MISSING WILL.
County Judge Unable to Find Any
Trace OF Will of Richard Colds
worthy Filed in 1859.
AGED INSANE PERSON is DEAD.

Where is the will of the late Richard
Goldsworthy? This is matter that
is interesting Judge Slosson and Reg
lister in Probate Ma1oney of the coun-
ty court. Richard Goldswortfiy was at
one time prominent pioneer farmer
of the town of Brighton and after his
death in 1889 the document was filed
for record IN the county court and the
trusts set out by it have perhaps been
duly carried out but in the old files of
the court no trace can be found of the
original will filed for probate. The
will had been made matter of record
but after that it had evidently been
removed from the Office of the court
and it cannot now be found. Ali
morning the officers searched for the
will without result. The loss of this
document shows that in early times
little attention was paid to the safe
keeping of public documents and it is
possible that other documents filed in
the county court at that time are also
missing.
The search for the Goldsworthy will
has been made necessary by the death
of Thomas Goldsworthy, which oc-
Cured recently at the state asylum for
the insane at Elkhorn. The deceased
was one of the oldest wards of the
county. He had reached the extreme
age of eighty years and according to
the records in his case he had been in
competent for nearly forty years. It
is thought that Goldsworthy had prob
ably been in the asylum longer than
any other Kenosha patient The rec.
ords of the insanity case would fill a
volume and most of these documents
are the reports of men who have acted
in the capacity of guardian for the nm
fortunate man.
At the time of the death of his father
Goldsworthy was left large portion
of the estate and the will is being
sought to discover just what should be
paid to the heirs of the deceased in
competent.

WHY oUARLEs HELPED COZ. STORY.

WHY QUARLES HELPED COL. STORY.
Col. John p Story Of the United
States army, native of Wisconsin,
has been promoted to be brigadier gen.
era and ciief of artillery. Senator
Quarles took a lively interest bringing
ABOUT Story's promotion. He had sat
isfaction in doing this, for back in the
days before the war, Story beat him
out of an appointment to the West
Point Military Academy. Story lived
at Waukesha when a boy and Mr..
Quarles lived at Kenosha. Both had
aspirations to go to West Point, and
each had strong backing. The then
representative of the district, John F..
Potter of sbowie knife" fame, decided
to name Story because his application
was received first, and Joe Quarles
was the most sorely disappointed boy
in the state.
He admits row that he wanted that
place more than any preferment he
ever sought in his life. But Story
won, made record as a mathemati-
cian, became an instructor at West
Point, and served in the war. He has
recently been in charge of the artillery
school at Fortress Monroe

Report of the Register Of Deeds Shows
a Big Falling off in Births in
KenOsha County.
BRISTOL BREAKS The RECORD.
Only One Birth Reported in the Town DUR
ing Year just Passed Brighton Manages
to Break Even In Population.

President Theodore Roosevelt will
undoubtedly regard with disgust the
report of the Register of Deeds which
will be presented to the County Board
at its meeting tomorrow, as the report
will show that the city of Kenosha,
along with the county of the same
name, is losing population.
The number of births and deaths IN
the county last year, when compared
with the preceding year, shows dis
tinct falling off and the city ana
county are being forced to depend on
incoming settlers for an increase in
population. The total number of
births in 1902 was 564, while last year
there were but SAB, loss OF twenty
one. The deaths in 1902 we're 275,
while in 1908 the deaths were only 269,
che examination of the figures show
ing loss of population to the extent
of fifteen. Added to this is the fact
that four of the births reported from
the town of Randall this year should
have been added to reports in other
years.
The figures of the Register show
remarka BILE state of affairs. The noisy
prattle of babe has been heard in the
town of Bristol but once during the
year 1908, while eight times the hearse
has been called into service, so that
the town has a natural loss of popula-
tion of seven people. In Brighton
things were evened up little, and
four births and as many deaths are re-
ported. Randall is a small town, but
she managed to increase her popula-
ton by seven births, and twelve of her
citizens were laid to rest in the GENE
teries.
In the city the death and birth list is
kept very closely, and it makes good
showing. During the year there we're
443 births in the city, the number
being more than four times the num-
Der reported from all the other towns
in the county. The death list in the
city was short one, only l68 being re-
ported. This is much smaller num-
Der than last year, and shows that the
healthfulness of the city is being
looked after. Many of the deaths that
have been reported as from Kenosha
occurred in other cities and the re-
mains of the people were brought here
to rest by the side of friends in the
different cemeteries.
There was total of 543 births re-
ported in the county during the year,
and of this number there were 200
fae ON foSo1afAc
The table showing the births and
deaths in each town is as follows:

immigration Officers Come to Kenosha
to Secure the Person OF GEL
somine Conforti.
GOVERNMENT DEMANDS A GIRL.
italian Girl Alleged to Have Struggled
Herself into Country Must Submit to
Government Examination.

A. A. Serraphic the agent of the I'm
migration Bureau of the United States
government, came to Kenosha this
morning armed with warrant to take
Gelsomine Conforti, the Italian girl
alleged to have been Struggled into
Kenosha, to Detroit. The order of the
government does not necessarily imply
that the young woman will be deport-
ed from thecountry but the friends of
the girl fear that this will be the out.
come of the case and vigorous fight
is being madesto keep her in Kenosha.
The warrant of the Secretary of the
Bureau of immigration orders that the
girl be Immediately taken to Detroit
for an examination by the officials of
the government at that point of entry.
Of course if it is found that the woman
has entirely recovered from the disease
from which she was suffering she may
be sent back to Kenosha but grave
fears Of her safety have been express
ed. Attorneys Buckmaster and Stew
art have been brought into the case by
the Conforti family and these two at
torneys are making an effort to keep
the girl in Kenosha. They have even
gone so far as to threaten habeas
corpus proceedings against the official
Of the government but it is not thought
that these threats if carried out would
be of any avail as the warrant from
the government is sufficient for the re-
noval of the girl to the frontier.
The girl was in thespolice Office most
of the morning while her two brothers
were making efforts to find Dsome way
to get around the order of the govern
ment Cor her removal to Detroit.
The facts in relation to the case are
pretty we'll known in Kenosha. The
Conforti girl was the sole member Of
the family to be left in Italy and sew
eral months ago she came to this coun-
try with one of her brothers. On ac-
count Of the fact that she was suffer-
ing from disease of the eyes she was
held at Quebec by the officials of the
United States Government. She re-
manned there for many months but
finally managed to elude the vigilance
Of the officials and made her way to
Buffalo.
From that point she had no trouble
in reaching Kenosha. After she had
been here for some time her presence
was discovered by A. A. Serraphic, the
agent of the department, and he at
once communicated his discovery to
his superior officers. They at first de-
manded that the woman be deported at
once but when afddavits were presented
showing that there had been no viola
ton of the law the matter was taken
under consideration with the result
that the girl was ordered taken to De-
troit for examination.

City Clerk is Issuing Many Dog Licenses
Since Prosecution Began.
The action of Special officer Bienne-
mann in prosecuting violators of the
the dog license ordinance has had a
good effect on the dog owners ia the
city and Monday and today the CITY
clerk has been kept pretty busy issuing
dog licenses. 10 licenses for males
have been issued and half as many for
females.
The people who have not been ar
rested have received a mighty good
warning and they seem to prefer to
pay the dollar for license rather than
to be forced to pay fine Of double the
amount, to say nothing of the costs of
the action. It is now thought that
nearly every dog in the city has paid
his stipend to the city treasurer.

NEXT SUNDAYS ATTRACTION
Vance and Sullivan's Big MeIodrama
Coming.

Coming.
Lighthouse by the Sea-, which is
claimed to be unusually strong, excit-
ing and well knit melodrama, will be
presented at Rhode Opera House next
Sunday.
The play is said to be full of action,
with situations and climaxes that fol-
low in rapid succession, but do not JOS
tie each other; nor are logic and intelli-
gibility ever sacrificed to rapidity of
movement. There is said to be no
lack Of scenic sensationalism, but even
the biggest sensation-the escape from
the rocks while att the mercy of the
storm, Of what is claimed to be the
most real looking ship ever seen in
melodrama, illustrates and helps the
dram attic climax. It is said the comedy
is genuine, and being relevant to the
action, and essential to the develop.
ment Of the plot, serves a useful dra-
matte purpose.
Messrs. Vance and Sullivan, the
managers of the production, are said
to have spared no expense in staging
the play; the scenic investiture being
very elaborate; while the members of
the company are people who are espec.
tally suited to the characters they
portray.
