Chicago Race Track Followers Looking
for Large Tract OF Land in Neigh
borhood OF Camp Lake.
NEW RACE TRACK MAY BE BUILT
Indications Point to Re.opening of the Old
Fight to Sell Pools In Kenosha County
Farmers Up in Arms

Farmers residing in the neighbor
hood of Camp Lake are up in arms on
account of the fact that during the
past two days agents of big Chicago
gambling house have been in that
neighborhood making an effort to Sc
cure options on land, and it is reported
that these sports are planning the
erection of race track near the state
line. The men have also been at Lib
ertyvil1e and at North Chicago, but
thus far they have not made any an
nouncement of their plans. O'Leary
and Weller, famous Chicago book
makers, are said to be backing plan
to build new race track outside of
Chicago, and every effort is being
made to locate the track along the
line of the Wisconsin Central Rail
way company.
Since the closing of Ideal Park some
five or six years ago, no effort has
been made to sell pools in Wisconsin,
but at the last meeting of the state
legislature the gamblers had strong
lobby at Madison and these men made
an effort to test the legislature in re-
gard to the feeling in the state against
racing. The feeling was decidedly
bad against the selling of pools, but
it is claimed that some Of the men
who formerly opposed the plan to per-
NIT the selling of pools in the state
are now ready to concede a little Ii
cense to the gamblers.
The people of Kenosha county are
opposed to the building of a track in
the county and they will undoubtedly
fight any movement of this sort in the
courts and in the Legislature.
The race track men declare that it
is not possible for them to be restrict
ed to Chicago alone and a track will
be built somewhere along the north
shore during the next year.
Ideal Park was one of the greatest
tracks ever built outside Of Chicago
and thousands of dollars were sunk
IN it by the Chicago promoters. This
money was all lost when the state of
Wisconsin declared against the sale
of pools in the state and the once ia
nous Kenosha county track is now be-
ing used for farming purposes.

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Runkel Celebrate
Notable Anniversary Saturday.

Notable Anniversary Saturday.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
Runkel, Of Burlington, Wis, was the
scene OF a pretty and enjoyable event
on Saturday, June IL, 1904, at the
celebration of their fiftieth anniver-
sary. A host of relatives were in at
tendance to celebrate the occasion
and congratulate the aged couple,
who were the recipients of numerous
floral and other appropriate gifts,
among which was the wedding cake
sent by John P. Newbury, their
nephew, of Los Angeles, Cal.
Their hospitab1e home was pro-
fusely decorated with rare and beauti-
full flowers, the prevailing color be-
ing Of a "go1den hue" in keeping
with the day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Runke1 were married
IN the town of Bloomfield, Wa1worth
county, Wisconsin, on the 18th day
of June, 1854. The parents of both
were included among the sturdy inn
migrants that first occupied and deve1-
oped this part of the state. John P.
Rnnkel was born in Gro1sheim near
Bingen on the Rhine, in 1927, and
came to this country in the year 1841
with his parents, and settled in the
town Of Burlington.
E Mrs. Runke1 is daughter of Ado1ph
and Christina Rietbrock, late of Bur-
lington, and came to this country
from Westphalia, Germany, with her
parents in 1887.
For many years Mr.. and Mrs. Run
KEEL lived on their farm in the town of
Wheat1and, until 1899, when they re-
tired to live in Burlingto ton, turning
over to their son, Henry A. Runke1,
the operation of the farm.
Among the guests present at the
golden wedding were Mrs. Barbara
Newbury, sister of the ''groom, and
Frank Newbury, her husband, of
Wheat1and, Wis; Mrs. Eliza Karcher.
Sister of the bride" and John KAT
cher, her husband, of Burlington;
Fred Rietbrock, her brother, of Mil
Waukee; Ado1ph Karcher and wife, of
Milwaukee; Ado1ph Rietbrock and
wife, of Milwaukee; Mr.. and Mrs.
L. A. Manego1d, of Milwaukee; Mag
gle Reed Daily, of Otteri11, Iowa, and
numerous nearby nephews and nieces.
The only surviving children, Mrs.
Geo. W. Smith and family, of Bur
1ington, Wis, and Henry A. Runkel,
and family, of Wheat1and, Wis, we're
also present on this glad occasion.
One of the notable features of the
event was that Mr.. and Mrs. John
Karcher and Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin
Newbury, have also held their golden
wedding anniversaries, being three
celebrations in one family of brothers
and sisters.

Congressman Cooper Announces that
He Will Make a New Effort TO Get
a Public Building for Kenosha.
ASKS APPROPRIATION OF $4,000
Senator Quarles Also Consents Co Give His
Support to the Bill in ths Halls of
The United States Senate.

Congressman Cooper announced
yesterday that he had begun work on
new bill which has for it's purpose
the securing of public building for
kenosha. It will be the first bill pre-
sented to the next meeting of Con-
gress if Mr.. Cooper is reelected to
his present position.
The bills which were presented to
Congress last year to secure the build
ing for Kenosha died with the session
of Congress. Senator Ouar1es by
hercu1ean 1abors managed to secure
the passage of the bill in the United
States Senate, but when it was sent
to the joint committee for considera-
ton half dozen of the axes of the
economists were waiting for it, and it
died an untime1y death. The bill had
asked for an appropriation of $50, 900.
The new bill to be presented will
not be as modest as the old one and
Congressman Cooper seeing the grow
ing demands of the Kenosha Post
Office, will ask that the sum of 500, 900
be appropriated for the bni1ding of
the building in this city. At the last
session of Congress both Senator
Quarles and Congressman Cooper be-
gan to oil the ways for the passing of
the Kenosha appropriation in both
houses of Congress, and it is thought
that there is good chance to secure
the passage of the bill at the next ses-
sion. The demands of Kenosha have
been laid before the Post Office De-
partment by the postmaster of the
city and there is little doubt but that
the Postmaster General will give his
aid to the effort to secure a building
here. Trading in Congress is an old
practice and the Wisconsin Congress-
men have given a good deal of aid to
other states in the last session of
Congress and these favors must be re-
turned to them in the next.
There is little doubt but that the
bill will be passed within the next
few years and it is just as well to be
looking about for a site suitable
for the building. If the appropria-
ton is made the money for the site
will be available as soon as the bill is
passed.

WILL CHALLENGE KENosHA.
Claimants to the Championship Anxious to

Claimants to the Championship Anxious to
Try Their Strength with Kenosha.
Kenosha is in line for the State
Base Ball championship and this
morning Manager Breen of the Ke-
rosha team received'a telegram from
the manager of the Green Bay team
challenging the Kenosha team to a
series of two games to be played at
Central Park. The challenge will be
accepted for the Kenosha team is
willing and ready to meet all corners.
Green Bay is rated as one of the
strongest amateur teams in the state
and by the defeat of the Port Wash
ington team few weeks ago the man
ayers of the Greer Bay team have set
up claim to the state championship.
Manager Breen is ready to contest
this claim and the games will be ar
ranged at once. It is possible that
the games will be scheduled for July
8 and 4. There is no doubt but that
the Green Bay team is one of the hot
test propositions in the state, but
with Smith in the box the Kenosha
team should have little trouble in dis
posing of them.
