The letters referred to have been
received since the arrest of Mr. Cowe11
and they are of as.decided1y threaten
ing nature.
One received last night ], was made
public before it was forwarded to the
Inspector, The letter was from a
man in an Illinois town and in it he
offered Cowe11 toS surrender "a policy
which had been written by one of the
Union L1oyds companies in Chicago

0Cowe11 declares that the writer of
the letter is making a deliberate at

value of the policy is far less than the
amount demanded for it's surrender.

made was sent to the Secretary of the
Union L1oyds III Chicago .and when it
reached the Chicago post office it was

once.
Mr.. Cowe11 refused to give out the
names of men connected with the
letters but states that they come from
both Illinois and Wisconsin.

Carrie M. Lee, Well Known Won
an fkenosha, Expired atthe
Hospital Tuesday Night.
LONG ARESIDENT OF THE CITY
At One Time Was the Owner of Large
Tracts of Kenosha Real Estate-The
Story of Her Life Was Very Sad.

Mrs. Carrie NJ. Lee, zone Of the best
known women of the city, died at the
Kenosha Hospital shortly after II
O'Clock Tuesday night as result of
an attack of heart trouble. The an
nouncement of her death came as a
shock to large circle of friends, as
few people had known of her serious
illness.
Mrs. Lee had been i'll since Thanks
giving day and had suffered from an
attack of acute indigestion. The dis
ease failed to yield to treatment and
on Tuesday afternoon it was decided
to take her to the hospital. After she
had been taken to the hospital she
sunk rapidly and death came just
after II o'clock.
The date of the funeral has not as
yet been set.
The death of Carrie M. Lee marks
the passage of one of the most un-
usual women who ever resided in Ke-
nosha, and the story of her life is one
of the pathetic stories Of the recent
history of Kenosha.
Mrs. Lee was the widow of the late
Egbert Lee and was daughter of
ellison Lewis, one of the pioneer resi-
dents of Kenosha. She was a native
of Connecticut, but came to Kenosha
with her father when she was in her
early gir1hood. Thirty-two years ago
she was married to Egbert Lee and
his death occurred short time later.
The romance of her life with her Ius-
band had been so firmly taken into her
being that she never recovered from
the shock of the sudden death of Mr..
Lee.
When her father died in 1885 Mrs.
Lee was left in possession of large
amount of valuable Kenosha property,
but all of this was lost during the few
years following the death Of her
father. In the midst of her ruined
possessions, however, she chung to the
old homestead and for many years she
lived almost the life of a rec1use, see
ing few of her friends and rarely
leaving the house. In the past four
years she had made her home with
Miss Bull on Park avenue.
Mrs. Lee was the last surviving
member of the Lewis family and her
only relative is cousin, Miss M. A.
Lewis, who resides in Minneapolis.
The arrangements for the funeral will
be made by the cousin, who is expect
ed to arrive in Kenosha this evening.
While Mrs. Lee lived much of her
life apart from the world about her,
she was a woman of many noble char
acteristics and in the last few years of
her life she became greatly endeared
to those about her.

FOUNDRY Is LEASED.
Racine Men Form a Company
and Will Open a Factory in
Kenoshain a Few Weeks.
GENERAL FOUNDRY BUSINESS

Kenosha is to have a new factory
as the old Lippert foundry at the cor
ner of South and Exchange streets,
which has been idle for many months
is to be re-opened Steps were taken
this morning for the formation of
company which will operate the fouu-
dry, and the company has taken
years lease on the building with the
privilege of a longer one.
The company is known as the car
neson & Kousek Foundry Company"
The men connected with the new or
ganization are Ole "A. Arneson and
Henry Konsek, both of Racine, and
both at the present time connected
with the big foundry interests at Lake
side. The new 1essees of the foundry
have been in the iron and brass
moulding business for many years and
both are practical mechanics in this
line of work. The company, it is I'M
derstood, will be backed by some of
the best known men of Racine, and
the new managers are planning to
make it one of the largest institutions
of the kind in this part of the state.
The lease will be executed this
afternoon and the new managers will
take possession of the foundry at
once. 1t is their intention. to have it
ready for the opening of business by
the first of next week.
Mr.. Arneson, when seen this morn
ing, said: ut looks as if there was a
good field for such plant in Kenosha
and we shall spare no money or work
to make the foundry go. We will
start out IN rather modest manner
by employing from ten to twelve men,
but we hope to largely increase the
force in short time. We have been
promised support from leading manu-
featuring institutions in both Racine
and Kenosha -

counted in favor of Gov. LaFolletfe
or some administration candidate,
other than those in the field. Ac-
cording tosthe clainssof the Ouarles
men, they lack only twelve or fifteen
votes of the number required to elect,
and believe that the necessary addi-
tons will come to their column early
in the campaign.
The strength Of the Quar1es posi-
ton, it is claimed, lies in the fact
that in order to elect a senator select
ed by Gov. LaFol1ette and the admin-
istration leaders, every so-called adj
ministration vote must be lined up In
support of such plan. This, the
Quarles men assert, is impossible
because of the fact that there are a
number of the administration men
who are supporting Senator Ouarles
for reelection and who are pledged
to him,

Henry Wiesmann Demands Heavy
Damages From Town of Brighton

Henry Wiesmann Demands Heavy
Damages From Town of Brighton
Henry Wiesmann, the old attorney
of the town of Brighton, values his
right Of suffrage at $4,000 and this
afternoon he filed a suit in the circuit
court demanding that sum from John
L. Tigh, Anton Daniels and James r.
Ward, the election inspectors of that
town, on account of the fact that the
inspectors had refused to allow him to-
cast ballot at the recent general
election. The action of the ms pectors
was based on the fact that Wiesn1ann
was declared insane some time age
and that the matter had never beer
adjusted In the courts of the county.
W1esmann in his complaint declared
that he went to the booth, and in ac-
cordance with the laws of the state
marked his ballot and handed il to
the inspectors. The inspectors, ac-
cording to the complaint, refused to
deposit the ballot in the box, but de-
stroyed it and threw it into the stove
in the voting place.
1t is expected that the inspectors
will contest the, case in the courts

TONNAGE SHOWS INCREASE.
Report of the Deputy Collector of Gus
toms Shows Good Season.

Report of the Deputy Collector of Gus
toms Shows Good Season.
Kenosha is holding her own as a
lake port, for the report of George
Hale, the deputy collector Of customs,
which was forwarded to the depart
ment today shows that the month of
November, which is usually a poor
month for harbor business, is away
ahead of last year. The report will
compare favorab1y with other lake
ports in this vicinity. The statement
shows that during the month just
closing there were % c1earances from
the local harbor, and the tonnage was
6,227 tons. A year ago during the
same month there were but 9 clear
ances, and the tonnage was but 3, Isl
tons.
The report for the year will be is
sued next month, and it will make a
remarkably good showing for the
local port. The tonnage will be shown
to be more than three times as great
as in the preceding year.
Now that congress is about to con-
vene this report from Kenosha will
be of great value, as it may aid in Sc
curing an appropriation for further
work in the llarbor.

Justice Sturges Fines Mrs. Adam Ian
ger for Using Abusive Language
s'There has got to be an end to this
c1othesline fighting in Kenosha and
the only way to secure it is to fine the
people connected with such fights y
These were the words used by Justice
Sturges this morning when he
assessed fine of 81 and costs against
Mrs. Adam LANCER who had been ar
rested on charge of using abusive
language to Mrs. Johanna Lettau.
Both women are residents of the
North side and the squabb1e was the
result of neighborhood quarrel.
Tia the courts of Kenosha during the
past few months great deal of the
time of the Justices has been given
over to the adjustment of neighbor-
hood quarrels and the justices are de-
cidedly tired of giving time to such
cases. Very few Of the defendants
have been fined but Justice Sturges
evidently believes that a few fines
will have tendency of putting an
end to the useless squabb1es.
