That He VIII Take 1T to the Courts.

Efforts are being made to secure a
settlement of the differences between
| Mayor James German and the mem
bers of the Kenosha Fire and Police

City Attorney John c. Slater held
long conferences with both the war

yet.
When the commission refused to
admit Mr.. Nicol1 to the meetings the
mayor stated that he would carry the
matter to the courts at once, but he
has failed to do this, and on account
of the fact that some of the men are
anxious to get their pay and it is be-

ney Slater took up the matter Friday.
In his conference with the Mayor
the Chief executive of the city insis-

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
James Dryer is Found Dead in Ris
Bed at the Home of Robert j.
Smith in Bristol.
HEART DISEASE WAS0THE CAUSE.

James Dryer, aged thirty years "a
man employed as farm thand on the
farm of Robert j. Smith in the town
of Bristol, was found dead in his room
at the house at seven o. c1ocksT Tuesday
morning. It is supposed that his death
was caused by heart disease, but Cor
oner Landsdowne was called and went
out to the Smithlhome in the morning
to hold an inquest over the remains.
He had been employed ION the Smith
farm for some time sand was well
known to many of the people in the
town of Bristol. He was in the best
of health and spirits when he went to
his room Monday night and had ar
ranged to do large amount of work
early Tuesday in order that he might
spend the afternoon in Kenosha.
Early IL the morning the other men at
| the farm went about their work as
usual and none of them commented on
the absence of Dryer as it was
thought that he was working at some
other point on the farm. Late in the
morning one of the menEabout the
farm went to Dryers room and was
Mortified to find the mansdead on the
bed. He had evidently been dead for
several hours. Dryer was attired for
the night and there was nosappear-
ance of struggle. He had never
been known to suffer from anylsort of
heart disease and for thisEreason the
people on the farm seemedlto think
that it was necessary to call the cor
oner to look into the case.

Kenosha Team WaIOps the Gunthers
OF Chicago on Both Sunday and
Monday Afternoons.
ELLswoRTH MAKES GOOD SHOWING
Kenosha Takes First Game by Score of
5 to 2 and the Second Was Almost
as Easy With Score of to

The Kenosha base ball team added
two more victories to their long list
on Sunday and Monday when the
Chicago Gunthers considered one of
the strongest teams in the West were
forced to bite the dust on both occas-
ions. On Sunday the score was five
to two and on Monday in an equally
exciting contest the game ended with
a score of'six to four in favor of the
Kenosha team.
Monday was holiday crowd at the
base ball park and it was certainly
one of the largest crowds that ever
attended ball game in Kenosha.
Two thousand paid admission into the
grounds and five hundred more watch
ed the game from Central Park and
t. surrounding territory.
The game on Sunday had been a
close one and the Kenosha boys had
expected that the game on Monday
would be even closer one. 1t was
and it was just sufficiently close to
get the fans excited. The Kenosha
boys, however, took a safe lead in the
first five innings and the Gunthers
made whir1 wind finish of it taking
all of their scores in the last four in
nings of the game. Both of the Berg
man boys were in the box for the Gun
theirs and the Kenosha batters took
kindly to them and sent the ball out
at will. Cumiskey pitched for Keno

FIRED THROUGH TIE WINDOW
Fourth of July Celebrators Break a Large
Glass Window at Drake & Hammonds.

Fourth of July Celebrators Break a Large
Glass Window at Drake s Hammonds.
One of the most serious accidents
of the celebration of the Fourth of
July IN Kenosha, was the breaking of
the large plate glass window in the
front of the Drake & Hammond sa-
loon. The window was broken late
Monday afternoon, and from the APP
pearance of the break, it seems some
one deliberately fired a bullet through
the window. The bullet came crash
ing through the window, but fortu-
nately the glass stopped the force of
it and no one was hurt. The matter
was referred to the police and an in
vestigation was started, but no trace
of the guilty parties has been discov-
cred. It is thought possible, that
some one fired revolver and that the
bullet striking the sidewalk glanced
through the window, but this seems
to be doubted by the police who be-
lieve that the bullet was fired de1iber-
ately through the window.

BIG ICE HOUSE BURNED
Ice House on the Farm of Joseph Mayer
Struck by Lightning and Destroyed

STRUCK Dy Llghtnlng ana DesLroyeu
During the electrical storm on Sun
day evening the ice house on the farm
of Joseph Mayer, in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, was struck by light
ming and completely destroyed. The
loss from the fire was over $3.50 and
there was no insurance on the prop
erty.
The fire proved to be a most excit-
ing one. At the time the house was
struck Mr.. Mayer was entertaining a
number of his friends at his residence
and the guests rushed from the card
tables to aid in extinguishing the
flames. For time it looked as if the
buildings on the farm would all fall a
victim to the flames and the crowd of
men were kept working until five
O'Clock in the morning before the
flames at the ice house were COM
p1ete1y extinguished. The ice house
will be rebuilt at once.
