A. ]. Brinsiey Asks the Supreme Court
of the State to indicate His Char
aCter of a Recent Charge.
FILES BOND FOR HIS APPEAL
Famous Woodman Damage Suit Against
n G. Schultz and j. s. Newbarry to
Have Hearing In Supreme Court

In the office of the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court this morning notice was
filed of the appeal of the suit of A. J.
Brins1ey VS.. H. G. Schultz and ]. S.
Newberry, and the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court for hearing
at the August term of the court. The
plaintiff in the action has filed bond
signed by the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty company Of Baltimore,
to insure the payment of all the costs
in the case.
Brinsley, who is we'll known to
many Kenosha people, is seeking
vindication from the highest court in
the state on account of charges
brought against him many years ago
when he was charged with the crime
of embezz1ement. In 1898 Brins1ey
was the collector for the local camp of
the Modern Woodmen of America,
and during his term of office the mem
bers took possession of the books and
began an investigation. At that time
It was claimed that there was short
age in the accounts of the collector
to the amount of $500 or over, and
Schultz and Newberry were appoint
ed by the camp as members of the
committee to be in charge of the
further investigation of the matter.
With them was M. w. Denninger,
who is now a banker in one of the
small towns in Oklahoma.
After an investigation Schultz and
Newberry, acting for the camp, issued
a warrant for the arrest of Brins1ey
on d charge of embezzlement, and he
was forced to spend several days in
jail. Later in the same year it was
alleged that the matter was fixed up
by the payment of the alleged short
age, and there was no appearance
against Brins1ey when the case was
called for final hearing in the Jus
tice court.
Two years ago Brins1ey, seeking
vindication from the charges brought
against him, started suit in Circuit
Court for damages against the two
men, demanding the sum of $1,000.
The matter had hearing in the Cir
cult Court and the jury was directed
by the court to bring in a verdict for
the defendants.
The case has proved to be very in
teresting to the members of the Wood
man order on account of the fact that
the Woodmen are said to be defend
ing the suit for Schultz and Newberry
who acted as their agents.

WILMOT is BOOMING.
Many Improvements Being Made at Village
Planned For the Pride of Wisconsin.

The village of Wi1mot out. in the
town of Salem, which was laid out in
the early forties with the intent that
it was to be the main city in this sec
ton of the state, is having a great
boom this year. The farmers of the
surrounding territory met last night
and decided to erect great co-opera-
tive creamery in the town. Tie mem
bers of the Roman Catholic church
there have begun work on a new tenn
pie of worship, new bridge has been
erected over the Fox river, the Board
of School Directors has decided to
build an addition to the High School
and the Cemetery Helpers Associa-
ton has let the contract for the build
ing of cement walk fifty rods in
length leading from the village to
the Wi1mot cemetery.
All the people are now looking for
is railway, and overtures are being
made to the managers of the Wiscon-
sin Central to secure an extension of
the line to the village. Recently sur
veyors passed through the district
setting stakes for trolley line and
the inhabitants of the village are still
hoping that railway will touch the
village this year.

Men Appointed by President Roosevelt
to Investigate Naval School Sites
Meet in Washington.
TO PUSH KENOSHNS PROPOSITION
Plans of Site offered In Kenosha Already
Before Board Of Commissioners and
Visit Here is Expected.

The Board of Commissioners recent
ly appointed by President Roosevelt
to select a site for the location of
Naval Training school on the Great
Lakes met in Washington yesterday
and organized for the work. The
commission will start out in the near
future to look over the sites that have
been offered the government.
The people in Kenosha interested
in the location of the school have in
no way given up the fight that they
made before the commission and as
soon as possible an invitation will be
sent to the new board to make a stop
at Kenosha and take a look at the
sites to be offered in this part of the
state. Jacobs Island is still avail
able for the government, but it is
limited that Kenosha will spring a
surprise on the Board of Commission
ers by offering new site. North of
Jacobs Island Senator Ouar1es owns
large tract of land which rs said to
be better suited to the demands of the
SONGI lI1du lIlC JdCOO y 1S1dL LII
site. The Senator has made no formal
tender of this property to the govern
ment agents, but it is understood that
he would sell it to the government in
order to keep the station in Wiscon-
sin. The Quar1es property has no
natural harbor, but it is situated in
such way that it would be as easy
for the Government to build harbor
there as it would be for them to i'm
prove the property at Lake Bluff
which was the choice of the last
Board. Plans and p1ats of Jacobs
Island are now in the hands of the
Board and rough drawing of the
Quarles property has also been for
warded to Washington.
Racine is making every effort to
land the school and the fact that the
Racine location was given the second
place by the former Board will go
along way toward prejudicing the
present Board. The Racine site is
certainly suitable one and if Keno
sha cannot land the big Government
plumb her people will be working
hand in hand with Racine to secure it.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Richard Price Resigns From School
Board OF The Town of Brighton
After a Long Record.
SERVED A QUARTER OF A CENTURY

Richard Price, of the town of Brigh-
ton, man who has been actively con-
nected with the educational boards of
that town for the past quarter of a
century, has resigned his position as
chairman of the board of school di-
rectors of the town, and John w. Sto1-
lenwerk has been elected to succeed
him. Mr.. Price will retire from office
at the next meeting of the board.
AS patron of education Richard
Price has record that is not equa1ed
by any other man in Kenosha county,
He was first elected as a member of
the Brighton board on June /, 1879,
and since that time he has been a
member of the board continuously,
and for many years he has been the
chairman of the board. During these
twenty-five years nearly every school
house in the town of Brighton has
been built, and the few pioneer build
ings set up before that time have been
repaired and enlarged.
Mr.. Price has taken a great personal
interest in the schools of the town,
and it has been his habit for many
years to make it point to visit every
school in the town for at least once a
year, and he was always a familiar
figure at the school entertainments
and at the reunions of former stu
dents. Mr.. Price is now over sixty
yearssof age, and he decided to retire
and let some of the younger genera
ton take up the work of looking after
the schools of the town. He can be
counted on to keep close watch on
the future of the Brighton schools.

PAY IS TOO SMALL.
Teacher in the Deming School De-
Clares Living is Too High for
Salaries Paid Here.
TO SELECT TEACHERS TONIGHT.

Miss Cook, recently elected by the
Board of Education as a primary
teacher in the Deming building, has
given the teachers committee of the
Board food for reflection.
This morning one of the members
of the committee received a letter
from Miss Cook aking that she be re-
leased from any further duties in the
Kenosha schools. In retiring from
her position Miss Cook stated to the
high in Kenosha that it was inpossi-
bic for her to live on the small salary
granted to her as teacher in the pri-
mary department.
This is not the first time that this
statement has been made to the COM
mittee. Members of the committee
state that what Miss Cook says may
be true, but that on the other hand
the salary paid to the teachers here
compares favorab1y with that paid in
other cities in the state, and even
with some cities where the population
is much larger than Kenosha.
Many of the teachers in the Keno
sha schools are now living at home,
and in this way they manage to re-
duce expenses to the minimum. The
teacher who is forced to pay board at
the usual rates in Kenosha finds it
exceedingly difficult to keep even on
her salary of from $35 to $45 month.
The teachers committee will meet
this evening to complete the work of
selecting teachers for the year
There are three places yet to be filled.
Two English teachers are to be Sc
1ected for the High school to take the
places of Misses Mou1ton and Jeni-
son, and it is possible that both of
them will be reelected. Many app1i-
cations have been received for these
positions. The committee will also
select successor for Miss Cook at
the Deming building.
It had been expected that there
would be other designations among
the list of teachers in the High school
but it is now believed that all elected
will remain in the city for another
year.
Mr.. Hammil1 has not as yet made a
contract with the board as principal of
the High school, but it is understood
that he will accept the position.

Congressman H. A. Cooper has three
postofices to dispose of, viz: Keno

population were considerably inter

be done and when the appointment is
to be announced.
AT Burlington it becomes necessary
to name a new postmaster on account
of the death of Theodore Rel. Of
course Mr.. Cooper has given this mat
ter little thought up to date, and it is
not likely he will be hasty. AT pres

office.
