CLUB FOR TRAMPs

Officer Hansen, who is in charge of
the day beat for the police office, gave
couple of tramps little good medi-
cine this morning. The fellows had
been proving about the city and the
officer decided that they were needed
at Waukegan or some point, and he
drove them to the city limits. One of
the men .objected to leaving the city
under such circumstances and showed
fight. The officer was equal to the
occasion and used his club. When
the fellows head gets well he will
probably be willing to fight shy Of
Kenosha for all time.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
James DESMOND, a Well Known
italian Charged With Assault.
ing Mrs. Paul Schmanda.
LEADER IN ITALIAN COLONY.

Jas. DESMOND an Italian who keeps
saloon near the corner of Main and
Pearl streets occupies a cell in the
county jail, awaiting a hearing on
serious charges preferred against him
by Mrs. Paul Schmanda. The man was
arrested by Chief of Police Reinold
Sunday and it is claimed that the
evidence aginst him is very strong.
According to the story told by the
woman, DESMOND went to her apart
ments on Thursday and committed
criminal offense. Schmanda and his
wife live in the fiat over the building
usedab by DESMOND for a saloon and
Schmanda is employed at Simmons
factory. At the time that the assault
is alleged to have been committed the
husband of the complaining witness
was at work. Mrs. Schmanda report
ed the matter to the police on Satur-
day morning and before the warrant
was issued the matter was pretty fully
investigated by the District attorney
and Chief of Police.
NGllASI the state nor the defendant
was ready to proceed with the case
and Justice McCarron adjourned the
hearing for week. In the meantime
DESMOND will be held in bonds of
$500. He was returned to the county
jail but an effort is being made to
secure bail this afternoon and it is
probable that the Italians of the city
among whom DESMOND is leader
will be able to secure his release.
DESMOND has resided in Keno
sha for a number of years and this is
the first time that he has been arrest
ed on a criminal charge. He declares
that he is innocent Of the charge
brought by the woman.
The woman was not badly injured
in the assault and she was able to &C
company her husband to the court
room this morning.
The friends of the accused man
claim that the charges are false and
they will undoubtedly make a hard
fight to secure him his liberty.

LIQUOR Is BARRED.
WOodman Hall Association of
Somers Purchases a
Site for Building.
SITE MAY REVERT TO OWNERS

The new pleasure hall which is to
be built by the WoodmanS Hall Asso-
citation of the town of Somers, will
never become place of dissipation
and carrousa1, and this fact is made
doubly sure by the deed to the tract
of land on which the hall will be
built which has just been filed for
record in the office of the register of
deeds.
The property is located near the
village of Somers and it was formerly
owned by Isabel Spence, Hattie M.
Spence and Anna J. Spence. It was
sold to the Woodmen for. the small
price of $50, but in making out the
deed for the land the three women
who had previously owned it had it
specifically stated in the compact that
the sale of liquors of all sorts on the
premises should be forever barred.
The deed even goes farther, and
states that no liquor of any kind can
ever be brought on the grounds or
given away to anyone who may see
tit to attend meeting of any:kind in
the hall.
In order to make the provision bind
ing on the Woodmen and the people
who might come into possession of
the property later on, the pact states
that should this provision ever be vio-
lated by the Woodmen or their success
sors in the ownership of the property,
it will at once revert to the former
owners, and they will have the right
to take possession of it without any
action in the courts. The members
of the Spence family have long been
hard fighters for the cause of temper
ance in the town of Somers, and in
this deed the fighting spirit is shown.
The new owners of the land will
erect a splendid hall on the site and
it will be used as the home of the
Woodmen in the town.

MAY MOVE TO ZION.
Northwestern Railway Company
May Move Shops to a Tract
North of Zion City.
D0WiE is AFTER WINTHROP

It is rumored that one of the largest
deals ever consummated in this vicin.
1ty is soon to be announced and that
as result Zion City is to be greatly
benefited.
The rumor, which cannot be sub
ste inflated, says that the General Over
seer has about completed negotia-
tons for the larger part of the land of
the Winthrop Harbor & Dock Co., and
that when this big deal is completed
the great car shops of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway Co., will be
moved there.
1t is impossible to find anything to
base the run1or upon, but it is per-
sistent one and has been flying around
the streets for several days and is be-
1ieved to contain much truth by many
who have followed the trend of events
in the city to the south.
Deacon Barnard of Zion City, when
interviewed today stated that person
ally he knew nothing of the matter
and branded the story as purely rumor.
Whether the story is true or not it is
full of possibilities that if ever con-
summated would be of inestimab1e
value to the entire north shore and
would give Zion City the biggest
boom in it's history.

NEXT SUNDAYS PLAY.

The success of ssThe Little Home
stead" which comes to the Rhode
opera house Sunday, Aug. 18th, is
due largely to the fact that no attempt
is made to exaggerate on what might
have been an actual life story. The
characters are taken from life and
the pretty tale is but the recital of
chapters in 1ife's history. "A play
with the home as the central object is
bound to touch the popular pulse,

WILL HOLD A CLAM BAKE.
Racine and Kenosha E1ks to Enjoy
Themselves Next Friday.

September 4, 1908, the Elks of Ke-
nosha and Racine held clam bake at
JACOBS Island, two miles north of the
former city. The affair was so suc-
cesstul and SO greatly enjoyed that
informal pledges were given all round
TO make an annual event of the clam
bake.
This year it is up to Racine to ham
die the affair, and extensive prepara-
lions are in progress. It is expected
that large majority of the Elks of
both cities will attend, and assuran.
ces are given that many prominent
Elks of Chicago will be there.
The clam bake as an institution has
reached it's highest development on
the Atlantic coast of New England.
and no feature of the great Ifeasts
there will be omitted at Kenosha.
Even the sea weed for covering the
hot stones upon whicha the cooking
will be done, has been ordered in
large quantities.
Every Elk who attended the hake
last year is enthusiastic in recount
ing the pleasures of the occasion, and
declares he wouldn't miss the coming
function for anything.
AS the T. M. E. r. & L. Co., inter-
urban cars pass the wooded grounds
where the bake will be held, nearly all
the guests from this end will journey
southwark by the 100 p. m. car next
Friday, the date fixed for the feed

interesting one, for it gives. what are
purported to be the figures. on the
crop for the year 1908, andI as these
reports were collected by the assessors
at the time of the annual assessment
they should be somewhere near the
correct figures. They are sufficiently
correct to show that the year 1903 was
a prosperous one for the farmers in
this county, and that there is every
reason to believe that the present year
will be just as prosperous. The corn
crop for last year compared faYorab1y
with that of other years, and the re-
port shows that 7O4, 1877 bushels of corn
were raised in the county. The corn
