Kenosha Man Gets Big Judgment
Against Telegraph Co., and
Electric Railway.
JURORS GIVE BIC DAMAGES.
Young Man Lost Arm While in the EN-
p1oy of Companies Named as Defend
s ants-New Trial is Refused.

The suit for damages for personal
injuries brought by William E. Likes
/ OF this city against the Postal Tele-
graph company and the Chicago, Mil
Waukee Electric Railway company
came to a sensational close in the cir
cult court of Cook county Tuesday af-
lternoon when the jury which had
heard the case returned verdict al
| lowing the Kenosha man damages to
the extent of $25, 900. The award is
lone of the largest in the history of
Courts in this section.
Judge Honore who heard the case
twas at once petitioned for new trial
and the motion was denied.
It is understood that the defendant
companies will make no further fight
against the payment of the Judgment
as it is certain that Likes has a right
to recover.
The suit was the outgrowth of an
injury sustained by Likes on.Nov. 4,
1901. At that time Mr.. Likes was en-
| ployed by the Electric Railway com
pany as lineman and had been sent
to Fort Sheridan to repair a break in
one of the trolley wires. AT this point
the trolley wire had been recrossed
with wire owned by the Postal Te1e-
graph company Likes touched the
| charged wires with his left arm and
was SO shocked that he fell from the
pole. He was favored by fortune and
the hook Of the belt he was wearing
caught in one Of the hooks on the
pole. He hung suspended in an un-
| conscious condition until released by
his fellow workers.
When he had been taken down it
was found that he had beer terribly
burned on the arm and the doctors
were forced to amputate the left arm
just above the elbow. This failed to
bring relief and second amputation
was necessary. Then young Likes
was forced to submit to skin grating
in order that his life might be saved,
and the physicians were forced to
graft sixty-nine pieces of skin on the
burned arm.

Description of the "Foolkiller. !"

Nissen's ship, "Foolkiller No 81, is
canvas bag, thirty feet long and
twenty-five feet in diameter, taper
ing to blunt ends where there are port
holes Inside the entire length Of the
bag extends a center shaft, around
which at each end revolves a hub, and
from each hub rad1ates a number of
cotton cord spokes, which are fixed in
the canvas and serve to hold the bag
in shape and carry it around the CEN
ter shaft Between the spokes, sus-
pended from the shaft, is a basket or
seat in which the rolling traveller"
sits and steers by sliding the basket
from one end of the shaft to the other.
He Went OFF Into the East
After Nissen had blown up the can
vas bag with an air pump he threw
in three days provisions, and climbing
into his 'Foolkiller" closed the port
hole after him. He called to his
friends to cast OFF the lines and the
canvas bag rolled off on the water. He
went rapidly off toward the east at
about Che rate of fifteen knots. Short
~ after leaving the she he was spied
by the crew of the tug Perfection,
who tried to throw him a line, but he
would not take it and the tug returned
to the city.

SEMINARY CONCEAL


 The annual concert given by the voice and piano pupils of the Birmingham sem mary Tuesday evening was a brilliant success, and attested the high ideals aimed at by that institution. The piano and voice numbers, which constituted the first part of the programme, were rem dered with skill and artistic effect.
 The erowning event of the evening" how ever, was the operetta, "The Corona ton of the Rose" Every detail had been looked after so carefully that there was Eothing left to be desired, The singing the acting. the costuming, the stage set ting were all nawless. Where each partic- ipant did such artistic work it is diff ficult to individualize, but the solo and duet parts deserve special mention Miss Fern Minor, taking the part of the queen of flowers, deserved all the honors heaped upon her beautiful rose-crawned brow Miss Ruby Vance, the weary recluse from society, acted the part perfectly. Miss Saide Braird, as snowdrop, the first flower of spring sang exquisitely Miss Cornelia Perryman, the stately japonica, urged her claims in a rich contralto voice. Miss Johnnie Baton, as the insistent, Haunt ing sunhower, had a part that suited her to perfection. The retiring touch -me-not from her shaded corner was perfectly done by Miss La Verge Cook. The tall' graceful dahlia was well enacted by Miss Louise Rushton. The poppy chorus was very taking.
 The applause was hearty and frequent. Too much pra SC cannot be given Miss Van Merkestein, the director, who had trained the beautiful voices, and Miss Julia Ward. who managed the costumlne

COLUMBUS, GA, RATED
 IN THE SECOND CLASS
Insurance Rates In City Will Be $4O,- 900 Higher Than Last
 Year.

Columbus, Ga, June 1.-(Special)- Columbus fire insurance rates went up over twenty-five per cent. today, the city being reduced from a tirst-class to a second-class rating by the Southeastern Tariff association and as a consequence the people of the city will pay nearly $4O0O0 more for the fire protection this year than last.
 It was announced some time ago that the rates would be increased but as the city proceeded to do with alacrity what the Southeastern Tariff association point ed out was necessary to in order to retain the old rates. the action of the associa- ton in going ahead and rating this as a second-class city, without giving the city opportunity to carry out the improve ments it is planning to make, comes as a disagreeable surprise.
