negroes, supposed to be members Of a
Before Day" club, and implicated in
an attempt to murder a -amily living
few miles from this city, near Chewa

ment in the neighborhood OF the cap
ture and the attempt at the crime. s
The capture was made through the
confession of two members OF the
gang. secured after persistent effort ON
the part of the citizens of the neigh.
borhood. The two members state that
the negroes of the community had or.
ganized for the purpose OF numbering,
robbing and burning, and the first
family to receive this treatment at
their hands was to have been Mrs.
Maggie Plott and her three children,
residing on a plantation near Chewa.

A negro by the name OF John Cook
was to kill Mrs. Plott and her daugh:
ter, Miss Pearl Plott. aged about IS
years. Another member of the band
was to kill her two sons, Jim, aged Is,
and Riley, aged ~ The house was
then to be plundered, kerosene poured
upon 1T, and the bodies Of the murdered
members of the family, and the whole
then burned
The attempt to carry out the plot
was made on Sunday evening, Aug. z,
Cook working at the window Of Pearl
Plotts room and another working un.
deTneath the house. Cook had sue.
ceeded in prying open the shutter,
which barred the window, but Pearl
was awakened by the noise, and called
to her brother. He arrived In the
room just as the negro was in the act
OF climbing in at the window, and he
hastily fired his gun at him, missing
him, but frightening him and the ac.
complice away.
The affair was kept as quietly as
possible, except that the citizens OF
the neighborhood began at once a sys.
tematic inquiry into the matter, with
the hope OF ultimately securing some
clew to the brutes and effccting their
arrest.
After about weeks Iabors, a con.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Cecil Davis Formerly Of Kenosha Took
an Overdose OF Choral in Mil
Waukee Friday.
STOMACH PUMP SAVES HER LIFE.

Cecil Davis, aged twenty three years,
a Kenosha girl who went 10 Milwau.
kee three weeks ago to accept a posi-.
ton in factory. there, attempted sui.
eide Friday afternoon by swallowing a
large amount of choral. The girl was
found in her apartments by a police
officer and taken to the emergency
hospital where her life was saved by
the vigorous use of a stom zach pump.
The girl admitted that she had taken
the chloral with suicidal intent and it
is supposed the act was done while in
a fit of temporary insanity.
At the boarding house on Milwau-
kee avenue, where the Davis girl
formerly lived in this city, nothing is
known ia regard to her attempt on her
life. The woman had worked for sew
era1 months in one of the Kenosha
factories but recently she had falling
out with her sweetheart and she had
gone to Milwaukee to look for another
position. Since that time none of her
friends in Kenosha heard from her.
The girl had worked for week in
Milwaukee and at the end of the week
she was taken sick and it is supposed
that her small savings were soon ex-
pended and when she found herself in
a strange town without funds or
friends she decided to snuff out the
candle of life with Choral.
One of the girls friends went to
Milwaukee this afternoon and will
make an effort to have the unfortunate
girl return to Kenosha. She was a
favorite with the girls and was we'll
liked at the factory where she worked.
Her position has been offered to her
again if she cares to accept it. The
parents of the girl are said to reside in
Utica, New York, but she had not lived
at home for many years.

kenosha Pioneer Who Had Gained
Great Wealth in Chicago Expires
from Heart Disease Friday.
A FRIEND OF LINCOLN AND GRANT
Walked from Kenosha to Chicago with q
Fortune of Half q Million,
(From Saturdays Daily


Thomas Moran, a Kenosha pioneer
and friend of Lincoln, Grant, Douglas
and of every illinois politician since
their time, died at his home, 1908

yesterday.
and one of the most popular men in
Chicago. He went to Chicago from
Kenosha in 1854, walking all the way.
He had but 81 when he reached Chica-
go. Some friends say he was worth
$500, 900 when he died. Others say it
was 800, 900. Most of it was in stocks
and bonds and his actual wealth will
not be known until the will is filed.
Tom Moran was born in Roscommorl
Ireland sixty.fve years ago. He was
brought to the United States when S
years old and with his parents came to
Kenosha to live. When he went to
Chicago he was but boy and went to
work in the billiard room of the old
fremont house, taking care Of the
tables. He found time to practice with
the cue and first won fame as the
champion billiard player of Illinois.
Then followed his friendship with
Lincoln and Douglas. They stopped
at the fremont house when they came
to Chicago. Moran was particularly
fond of Douglas. The liking was re.
turned and he called frequently at
Douglas room when the latter came to
Chicago. Moran was wit and story
teller. These talents won him the &C
quaintance of Lincoln.
Moran's next step was to form a
partnership with Otis Field in bill
lizard hall TIT Dearborn Street. Moran
became sole proprietor in 1863 All
the while he had prospered and laid
aside his money. In the Chicago fire
his hall was swept away. Many of
his friends lost everything, but Moran
rebuilt. He learned of the financial
straits of his friends and advanced
them money. Several men in Chicago
today were given their second start in
life by Tom Moran.
In 1874, Moran opened saloon at
ia Randolph street, which he still con-
