HELD cN CHICAGO
Heinz the Picklt Man Who Has Been
Here Said to be Insane

2. J. Heinz, one Of the founders of
the Heinz Pickle company, who is
thought to be demented, is being held
at the Harrison street police station
IN Chicago until arrangements can be
made to take him to some sanitarium
for treatment.
Heinz arrived in Chicago Saturday
with an attendant from the Pennoyer
sanitarium in this city, where it is
said he had been under treatment for
several weeks. While in Dearborn
street, near Jackson boulevard, the
attendant said his patient became I'M
ruly and Policeman Patrick Collins of
the Central detail station was asked
to assist him IN caring for Heinz.
Heinz was taken to the Central sta
ton and later to the Harrison street
station and placed in a witness cell,
where he will be held until friends or
relatives call to take him away. John
Loverridge he attendant, notified
DR.. Adams of Kenosha, who has been
attending Heinz that the patient had
been taken to the police station.
Arrangements will be made today
to have the man taken to the deten-
ton hospital or some private sani-
tarium temporarily.
Heinz is SIS years old, and, according
to Loverridge, has been taking treat
ment at the fennoyer sanitarium for
two months. Mrs. Heinz remained
with friends at Kenosha while her
husband was being treated at the
sanitarium. She was notified of her
husbands condition.
Heinz is a brother of H. J. Heinz,
now at the mead of the company
which bears that name. He gcame
from Pittsburg about three months
ago with his wife. He stopped in
Chicago TO- several days, and then
went to the sanitarium.
Lieutenant Duffy told Loverridge to
notify Heinx's relatives that he would
be held until examined by the city
physician.
Heinz did not resist the police in
any way aid appeared to be- under
some great strain.

Present Sheriff to be Named as
Under-sheriff by Dr.. ]. H.
Vietch, Sheriff-eIect.
NO OTHER APPOINTMENTS.
Many People About the County are
Looking for the Position of Deputy
Sheriff But Nominations Will
Not be Made Until Later.

Sheriff Henry H. Timme will prob
ably continue to live at the county
Jail, as it is announced this morning
on pretty good authority that he has
been named by Sheriff-elect Vietch
as under-sheriff of the county, and
he will probably accept the appoint
nent.
The sheriff-elect was nonconrnittal
when seen at his office this morning,
but he clearly stated that Timme was
his candidate for the position. II
have not as yet made any appoint
ment," said Mr.. Vietch," but Sheriff
Timme is liable to be named as under
sheriff. There may be some opposi-
ton to such an appointment but there
will be kicking no matter who is
named. AS to the other Offices on my
list of assistants have had large
number of applications and several
men were promised positions during
the campaign. These appointments
will be made before / take Office the
first of the year
The appointment of Sheriff Tin1me
to the office of under-sheriff will not
come as surprise to many people in
the city and county, as it has been
stated for some time that if DR.. Vietch
was elected he would continue Mr..
Timme at the county jail.
Sheriff Timme himself set the ex-
ample of appointing retiring sheriff
when he appointed Former Sheriff
Whitcher. as his deputy two years ago.
Uuder-sherif Witcher, however, re-
moved to his farm in Bristol and he
has had charge of the work of the
office in that section of the county.
The sheriff-elect is planning to take
a great deal of care in naming his
deputies and it is probable that one
from each town will be named. The
custom in other years has been to
name four or five from the city, but
with the under-sheriff in the city it is
hardly probable that the list of city
deputies will be as long as in former
years.
Sheriff Timme has rented his home
on Chicago street and this is regarded
as certain evidence that he will con-
tinue to live at the county jail during
the term of Sheriff Vietch.

ROADS TO PAY MORE.
Taxes of Railway Companies Increased
$545,952 by New Adva1orem Law.

Taxes of Railway Companies Increased
$545,952 by New Advalorem Law.
The Wisconsin state tax commission
III accordance with the new railroad
adva1orem taxation law, yesterday
announced it's final determination of
the value of railroad property within
Wisconsin, and average rate of taxa
ton of all other taxable property with
in the state. TT fixes the value of rail-
road property at S218, O24, 900, and the
rate of taxation at .01144O3568 cents
per dollar. This makes the total rail-
road tax So, 494, 282. 81, or S545, 952
more than under the old license fee
system.
In accordance with the new law,
the railroads paid taxes this year I'M
der the old license fee system, but
subject to any increase or decrease
determined by the tax commission
under the new law. A few of the COM
panies will get refund on their
taxes already paid, but most of them
will have to pay more.
Under the old system the principal
railroads paid license fee of per
cent on their gross earnings in lieu
of state tax and this system has
been in force in Wisconsin for many
years. During the hearings the small
Ter roads protested more strongly
against their increases in taxes than
did the larger ones.

AFTER BIG REWARD.
Kenosha Police Seek to Locate Men
Who Robbed Circus of $4,000.


The Kenosha police force is making
an effort to win reward of $4, 900, by
capturing the men wanted in North
Carolina who are charged with rob-
bing the ticket wagon of the Sells
Bros. circus. The men managed to
secure more than $27, 900.
The crime was committed on No
venber 10, and the guilty parties
had been tracked as far as Chicago.
1t is alleged that they left Chicago,
and it is thought possible that they
are in hiding in some of the cities
along the north shore. The robbery
was most daring one, and the
amount secured was so great that the
aid of the best detectives in the coun-
try has been secured to search for the
men,

Transcript of Evidence in Famous
Arson Case Being Sent to
New York for Use There
ACTION ExcITEs WONDER.
Efforts May Be Made to Collect Insur
ance on the Famous Chicago Bed
ding Co.'s Plant Which Was Lo-
Gated at North Kenosha,

Most profound wonder has been ex.
cited in the minds of the officials Of
the county by the fact that the fam
Gus arson case which was tried in
Kenosha in 1895 and which resulted
in Barney Bloch, George S. Perrin
and Isaac Robinson being sent to the
state prison, has been reopened and a
transcript of a large amount of the
testimony in the famous case is being
sought for use in the courts of the
state of New York.
The action in which the evidence is
to be used is the suit of one Lufkins
VS.. number of insurance companies.
The request for the transcript has
been made by Richards & Head, of
New York, and it will be forwarded at
once.
It is possible that new effort is be-
ing made to collect the insurance on
the burned buildings, but such an
action is thought to be impossible by
the attorneys in Kenosha who took
part in the famous trial. Not one of
these attorneys has any evidence in
regard to the New York case and they
seem to see no reason why case
which was so thoroughly threshed
out in the courts of Kenosha county
should be reopened in far eastern
state.
The avenues for the collection of
insurance on the burned buildings
were thought to have been effectua1ly
closed when the trio was sent to the
state prison by Judge Fish, but all
of these men have since been re-
leased from the state institution and
it is possible that they have found
some new legal point by which the
fight against the companies can be
reopened.
The letter from the New York at
torneys asks that all of the evidence
of Isaac Robinson and Bernhard
Rosenow be forwarded to the New
York court. Rosenow was the watch
man at the Chicago Bedding factory
and after the arrest of the gang he
turned states evidence and gave out a
pretty good story of the crime. The
confession of Robinson, while not
sufficient to save him from penal SER
vice, was also most valuable in con-
victing the other members of the
gang.
The larson case" was one of the
most famous cases ever tried In Keno
sha county. In June. 1895, the plant
of the, Chicago Bedding company was
destroyed by fire and a short time
later all of the officials connected
with the plant were arrested on a
criminal charge of arson. All of the
men were we'll known both in Keno
sha and Chicago, and the trial of the
case was one of the most bitterly
contested in the northwest. George
S. Perrin, Isaac Robinson and Barney
Bloch paid the penalty for the gang
and each of them served long term
in the state prison at Waupun.
With the exception of the pardon of
men convicted this is the first echo of
the big case since it was closed by
Judge Fish in the fall of 1895. The
transcript of the evidence in the case
covers more than two thousand pages
and the clerk of the court will be
kept busy for some time making the
copies demanded by the New York
aft0ruevS
