FINDS HIS WIFE HERE
William Jones OF Rockford Finds His
Wife and Children After They Had
Been Missing Two Weeks
CLAIMS WIFE IS UNTRUE TO HIM.

Mrs. William Jones and three chill
dren who had been missing. from
Rockford, ILL.,, for the past three weeks
were found residing in Kenosha this
morning by the husband of the
woman. Jones had been in search of
his wife and children since they left
Rockford three weeks ago. Mrs.
Jones had come to Kenosha at that
time and had been living with m an
named Peter To11man at the home of
Mrs. Houghton at 173 Ridge street.
Mrs. Jones claimed that there had
been no improper relations between
her and To1lman but she admits that
they had been living here as husband
and wife.
Jones claimed that his wife had de-
serted him, but when the woman was
seen by Chief of1Po1ice Reino1d, she
told him such horrible story of mis-
treatment that the officer has taken
no steps toscause the arrest of either
To11man or the wife of the Rockford
man. Mrs. Jones claims that her hus-
O1AAo lAOoINA 11O1 LII S11dLuC1CSS
ner and that while she remained with
him in Rockford he used her for i'm
moral traffic, forcing her repeatedly
to violate the laws of the state.
Jones made no defense to the charge
brought by his wife against him, but
up to late hour he had taken no
steps to secure her arrest. Mrs.
Jones stated positively that she would
not return to Rockford with her hus-
band, andssinsisted that To1lman had
befriended Cher and had furnished a
home for herself and children. She
claimed to be innocent of any wrong
doing.
The chief, after looking into the
matter, decided that the husband was
the guilty man in the party and it is
possible that the wife will seek his
arrest

PEDDLERS WIN OUT
Supreme Court Says That State Has
No Right to Issue Licenses to
Transient Merchants.
KENOSHA MERCHANTS AFFECTED

Kenosha merchants expect that Ke-
nosha will be flooded with Chicago
pedd1ers~i in another week for the SUI
preme court at Madison, yesterday
handed down decision in which it is
declared that the state law providing
for the license of pedd1ers was void
on account of the fact that it was
class legislation. By the terms of the
law the soldiers and crippled people
were allowed to offer their wares for
sale without license, and the court
held that this was an unjust discrim-
ination and on that account the law
was invalid.
For some time this county has been
a mecca for the Chicago pedd1ers and
many of them have come to the state
to do business Notwithstanding the
fact that there is license to pay. It
is now thought that the riff raft of
Chicago will start into Wisconsin and
Kenosha will be the first stopping
place. These pedd1ers enter all lines
of trade and their work will be a seri-
Gus menace to the business men of the
city during the coming summer
season.
The decision of the Supreme court
removes forever any question of the
right of Kenosha mer chants to do
business in the towns in the county
and the opposition of county dealers
will in the future count for naught.
The people of the city should take
warning and beware Of the pedd1er.
All goods sold by these transient mer-
chants can be bought in the stores of
the city, and in nearly every case for
a sum less than that charged by the
pedd1er. The pedd1er pays no taxes
and is in no way worthy of the trade
of the people.

IF anyone has any doubt Of the

Kenosha is rapidly increasing in pop

he will speedily be convinced of it's

the large number of houses erected in
the city the past year, it is almost i'm

"rea1 peevish" in conventions which

AWARDS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Judge Belden Orders G. & N. w. Ry. to Pay
Amount to the De Ange Estate,

Judge Belden Orders G. & N. w. Ry. to Pay
Amount to the De Ange Estate,
In the circuit court at Racine Tues
day morning Judge Be1den handed
down decision in the case of Henry
F. Jordan, administrator of the es-
tate of Joseph DeAnge, against the
Northwestern railway. It was in favor
of the plaintiff, and entities him to
recover So, 900 from the railway com
pany.
1t appears that DeAnge was an
Italian 1aborer employed as section
hand on the road. On January %,
1904, while DeAnge was at work on
the tracks in the town of Pleasant
Prairie, he was struck by locomotive
and died from injuries a short time
after.
The man had no relatives in this
country, his wife and children being
in Italy. Mr.. Jordan was named as
administrator, and made demand upon
the railway company for settlement.
The corporation offered $1,000 as a
settlement, and that offer was
accepted. Afterward the payment
was refused on the ground that Mr..
Jordanlwas not legally appointed adj
ministrator, and that an offer of So, coo
was notS made by the company asa
settlement.
Judge Be1den holds in his decision
that Mr.. Jordan was regularly ap-
pointed administrator, and that the
money shall be paid over as settle
ment. The wife of DeAnge has never
been in this country, and of course
the money, when recovered, must be
sent to her. less the EXPENSES here
