Married in a Tree Top.

Near Red Rock, Pa, lived Miss En-
ma Swanzer and her accepted suitor,
Charles Bangs. Recently they went to
Great Bend to attend the wedding of one
of their friends and quarreled. When
it came time to go home, Rev. Mr.. Hun
ter, of Gray's Corners, joined them. In
a field adjoining the road was ferocious
Texas steer, the property OF Farmer
Osterhaut At the farther end of the
field there is a set of bars, and the trio
reached the opposite side of the exit
ignorant of their impending danger, a
second or so ahead of the steer. Bangs
gave the cry Of alarm and ran for some
trees, few feet ahead, closely followed
by Miss Swanzer and the preacher.
Bangs Skinned up one and Miss Swanzer
proved her agility by climbing another,
assisted by the preacher, who gave her a
lift before he sought safety in still
another tree. The infuriated animal
ran around and around the trees. never
stopping. Thinking this an excellent
time to reconcile the pair, the minister
began. His work was done, however,
almost before he had begun. The compile
desired to get married then and there,
thinking they were to meet a tragic
death, and the minister married them.
The Texas steer beloved the wedding
march. When he had concluded Farmer
Osterhaut and bis son drove up with a
load of furniture from Binghamton.
An explanation was hastily spoken, the
bride and bridegroom and minister were
transferred to the wagon, ard the joyful
party drove to Mr.. Bangs home, where
there was merrymaking.

OLD GANG AT WORK.

Police Receive Reports of Four Stolen
Horses in Less Than Two Days.
The police of Kenosha, Racine, Mil
waukee, Waukegan and Beloit believe
that the old gang of horse thieves
which worked so successfully in this
section of the state few years ago,
is at work again, for during the past
two days reports have been received
OF the stealing of four horses III this
immediate neighborhood. Yesterday
the police were notified of horse be-
ing stolen from Somers and another
from Racine and this morning the re-
ports brought notice that two other
horses had been stolen; one from Mil
waukee and another from Waukegan.
It is claimed that the horses were both
traced to the ne1ghborhood of Kenosha
and the police are making every effort
to find some trace of the horses and
the thieves.

COWELL GOES FREE
United States Grand Jury Fails to
Ifdict Kenosha Attorney for
wild Cat Business
RETURNS MANY INDICTMENTS

Walter M. Cowe11, the Kenosha
attorney and insurance, man will not
be tried in the United States court on
charge of being connected with the
"Wi1d Cat" insurance schemes now
being investigated by the United
States court at Chicago. Saturday it
was announced that in the case of the
Omitted States VS.. Walter M.Cowe11"
the United States Grand Jury had re-
turned a report of no in dictment.
Indictments were returned against
half dozen insurance men who had
been supposed to be connected with
the Kenosha man in the Insuran ce
business and these men were forced
to appear in court and give large
bail for their appearance when the
cases are called for trial.
Mr.. Cowe11 was highly e1ated over
the result of the hearing before the
Grand jury and this morning in
speaking of the matter said that he
had never had any doubt as to the
outcome of the case. He stated that
there was no evidence on which he
could possibly be held.
Cowe1l was arrested several months
ago by District Marshall Ketchum in
Milwaukee. At that time he appeared
before the United States court COM
missioner at Milwaukee and gave a
recognizance bond of $500. Since
that time Mr.. Cowe11 had been used
freely by the, United States officials
and several times he appeared before
Federal Grand jury as witness for
the prosecution. It is supposed that
this work in the prosecution of other
cases secured immunity for Mr..
Cowe11.
The prosecution of the other men
will go forward within short time
and it is possible that some of the Ke-
nosha men will yet find themselves
landed in the drag net that is being
thrown out by the United States
officials.

TO DOUBLE THE STOCK.

"The Fair" Takes Inventory and Makes
Plans for Large Increase in Stock.
Plans are being made for an e1abor-
ate enlargement of the "Fair" at the
corner of Main and Wisconsin streets
and yesterday large force of people
were busy at the store taking an in
ventory. S. Gott1ieb of Chicago, has
purchased an interest in the store and
within short time changes will be
made which will make it possible for
the company to carry double the stock
that is carried at the present time.
The company has been incorporated
under the laws of the state and in a
short time they will take possession
of the room now occupied by the Ke-
nosha Union as printing Office
With this added room the stock will
be increased to $4,000 stock and
several new lines will be added.
In speaking of the matter today
Mr.. Gottlieb said: "It is the intention
of the new company to make the Fair
the biggest department store between
Chicago and Mi1wankee.'

Former Candidate for Clerk ofthe
Court Makes Application for
TayIor's Position.
ENDORSED BY BOTH PARTIES
Leaders of Democratic and Republican
Parties Urge Superintendent Cary
to Name the Salem Man.

William We1ton, of the town of Sa-
lem, the candidate for Clerk of the
Circuit Court on the Democratic
ticket, may succeed George w. Taylor
as superintendent of the schools of
Kenosha county. Mr.. Welton on Sat-
urday filed formal application for
the position with State Superinten-
dent Cary and today it looks very
mach as if he would receive the APP
pointment. The new applicant for
the position has been warmly recon-
mended for the appointment and the
beauty of his recommendations are in
the fact that they are wholly nom
partisan. Both Democrats and Re-
pub1icans have urged the appoint
ment of Mr.. We1ton to the position
and it is thought that this action on
the part of these political leaders will
go long ways to get politics out of
the school affairs of the county. The
state superintendent has not as yet
stated when the appointment would
be made but it is thought that it will
be made within the next ten days.
AS to the personality of the new ap-
p1icant for the position, he is so we'll
known in the county that there is lit
tie of a new nature to be said in re-
gard to him. MIR. We1ton was born
and raised in the town of Brighton
and was educated in the schools of the
county. Later he completed his edu-
cation at several of the best institu-
tions in the state. He has taught
with great success in the schools of
the county and has always been con-
nected with the school work. He is
known as one of the best read men in
the county and has been connected
with many movements to better the
schools.
Mr.. We1ton is qualified for the po-
sition and will undoubtedly make a
splendid official if appointed.
According to the formal resignation
of Mr.. Taylor, the position of county
superintendent of schools became va
want this morning. Before giving up
the work Mr.. Taylor was careful to
see to it that everything was in good
order and so we'll was his work done
that the schools will take care of
themselves for several weeks pending
the appointment of new official. The
last report of the retiring superinten-
dent is the best report ever sent from
that Office to the county board. It
will be presented to the board the
latter part of the week and will be
made public at that time.

TAX FOR SIDEWALKS
Repairs of Defective Sidewalks May be
Charged for in the Tax Roll.

Charged for in the Tax Roll.
The city clerk and the city treas
urer held a little session at the city
hall this morning at which time all
amounts charged against property
for snow shove1ing we're added to the
regular taxes against the property.
While this was being done the officials
decided that at the next meeting of
the city council the council will be
asked to give the officials power to
add to the tax roll the amount charged
against property for the repair of de-
fective sidewalks. The amount
charged for shove1ing snow is not
large but should the amounts charged
for the repair Of sidewalks be added
there will probably be storm of pro-
test. Many people in the city have
absolutely refused TO pay for side
walk repairs and it is possible that if
these repairs are charged in with the
tax roll there will be hot fight TO
prevent the collection of the tax.

ANOTHER BIG HOUSE
Independent Ice Company of Chi
cago Erects Large Ice House
at Silver Lake
OPPOSITION FOR THE TRUST.

The ice trust is to have a fight for
the business of the ice regions of Ke-
nosha county, and during the present
year the Knickerbocker company and
the other trust companies who have
in other years monopo1ized the ice
cutting business will have to buck I'D
against an old rival. Some years ago,
before the coming of the rule Of the
ice trust, the firm of L. G. Tewes was
one of the largest firms in the ice
fields of the county. But with the
coming of the Knickerbocker and
the Jefferson companies, the Tewes
company was forced out of business
and since that time the houses for
mer1y owned by the independent COM
panies have slowly passed into the
control of the trust.
Now a son of the former manager
has come to Kenosha county from
Chicago and he is planning to revive
the old Tewes business and will fight
the trust with an independent COM
pany. To this end he has started the
erection of large house on the north
side of Silver lake. The new firm is
known as the H. G. Tewes Company,
and the house now being erected will
be the largest on Silver lake. The
building will be 2OOx175 feet. It will
contain six rooms and will have a ca
pacity of $4,000 tons of ice. The
house is located on the main line of
the Northwestern railway and it will
be easy for the owners of the house to
get the ice into Chicago for the
market.
Tewes has been out of business
since the sale of the Kenosha county
houses to the trust, but he will now
have independent wagons on the
streets of Chicago.
The work on the big ice house is be-
ing rushed to completion and already
four rooms are ready for the reception
of ice. The other rooms will be ready
by the first of January. The most
modern machinery for the handling
of the ice is being installed.
It is claimed that the present house
is an experiment and if it proves a
success others will be erected next
season,

ALL AFTER A SLICE
Kenosha Factories Planning to get in
on Ground Floor of Prosperity

Kenosha Factories Planning to get in
on Ground Floor of Prosperity
Kenosha manufacturing concerns
are preparing to be on the ground
floor when it comes to reaping the
harvest of rich profits to be brought
about by the new industrial prosperity
which is sure to follow the election of
President Roosevelt for second
time, and the work of rebuilding and
charging is now on at nearly every
factory in the city.
The reelection of President Roose-
vet promises to be great boom for
industrial Kenosha. Already big fac
tory buildings are going up and others
are being planned. In this building
line the N. r. Aliens Sons tannery
is the leader, and they now have three
large buildings in course of erection.
These buildings will be used largely
for the manufacture of sole leather.
For some time the Allen tannery has
been the largest maker of harness
leather in the world, and it will now
SAlSAo lAAo Su ~ N1AdCy 10 lI1G sole
leather business.
The Simmons Manufacturing COM
pany will also be IN line, and the work
of erecting a great factory building
for that company will be started
week from this morning. The Thomas
B. Jeffery company has now large
building in course of erection, and it
will be ready for occupancy by March
!. The new plant of the Badger Brass
company is now nearing completion,
and the Frost Manufacturing com
pany is planning to increase its bust
ness by taking possession Of the
rooms now occupied by the Badger.
All these big additions will demand
the increase of the force of men EN-
ployed in the city, and the working
men of Kenosha will have no reason
to be looking for work in other cities.
1t is certain that the number Of men
employed in Kenosha during the COM
ing year will be increased by at least
1000.

HORSE STEALING Is CHARGED
Woman Secures Horse and Buggy in
Racine and Attempts to Sell it at
Waukegan-We11 known Here

The police officers of Ra cine, Keno
sha and Waukegan are making an
effort to capture Mrs. William Bishop,
a former Kenosha girl, who is wanted
in Racine on charge Of larceny.
The woman is charged by the Ra-
cine police with being clever woman
forse-thief. The mother of the woman
resides in this city but no trace of the
whereabouts of Mrs. Bishop could
be obtained at the home of her
mother today.
According to the story told by the
Racine police Mrs. Bishop went to the
McAvoy stables in Racine Saturday
evening and rented a horse and
buggy. She gave a good account Of
herself and was allowed to take the
rig. It seems that she drove directly
to Waukegan and there made an eff
fort to sell the horse and buggy to a
1iveryman. The 1iveryman began to
suspect that all was not we'll and re-
fused to make the purchase. Then
the woman put the horse in barn at
Waukegan where it was discovered
on Sunday and where it is being held.
When Mrs. Bishop left Racine it is
claimed that her husband was with
her and that there was also child In
the Duggy.
AS soon as the Racine officers dis
covered the horse at Waukegan they
ordered the arrest of Bishop and his
wife but the officers of the Waukegan
force were unable to locate the pair
and it is alleged that they have made
good their escape from Waukegan.
Chief of Police Reino1d was noncom-
initial in regard to the case this morn
ing, and while he admitted that Mrs.
Bishop was we'll known to the Keno
sha police force and that her mother
was residing in Kenosha, he refused
to disclose the identity of the woman
charged with crime and stated that
such action would interfer with the
officers efforts to capture her. 1t is
said that the family of Mrs. Bishop is
well known in Kenosha.
1t is claimed that this is not the only
charge against Mrs. Bishop but that
she is wanted at Be1oit on more seri-
Gus charge. It is also stated that
Bishop is wanted by the Be1oit police.
The officials are hopeful of being
able to catch the couple before they
get into Chicago.
