Henry Wiesmann to Bring His
Famous Suits for Conspir-
acy in U. S. Courts
COMPLAINTS TO BE PRINTED.
Eighty-eight Farmers of Kenosha and
Racine Counties and Several From
Other States are Named.

Henry Wiesmann, the Brighton at
torney, was in town today making
final arrangements for the beginning
of the most sensational suit ever
known in the legal history ofsWiscon-
| sin. The suit, according to the an
nouncement of Mr.. Wiesmann, is to
be brought in the federal courts in
Milwaukee and lightweight men,
mostly from Racine and Kenosha
counties, will be named as defendants
in the action.
The suit is most unusual one and
in his complaint Mr.. Wiesmann al
leges that these men made a cons pir-
acy against him for the purpose of de-
frauding him out of money due to him
and that in order to carry out the con-
spiracy the men went before the
county court and had him adjudged
insane and sent to the asylum at Win
nebago. The men named in the COM
plant are mostly those whose names
appeared on the petition asking for
the examination into the mental con-
dition of Mr.. Wiesmann. The COM
plant will cover hundreds of pages of
type written matter and in order to
secure service on the different de-
PENDANTS in the action the complaint
will be printed.
The action is to be brought in the
Federal court on account of the fact
that several of the defendants in the
action now reside outside of the state
of Wisconsin.
In his complaint Mr.. Wiesmann has
not alleged the amount of damages,
but he leaves this matter to the court
or jury hearing the different cases.
For more than a year the old attor-
ney has been at work on the various
complaints in the great suit, and it is
said that should the suits ever start
to come to trial they would consume
several years in the hearing of them.
Since the work of making the COM
plants began year ago, five of the
defendants have died, and the actions
IN court will now be brought against
the estates of these parties.
W1esmann claims that all of the de-
PENDANTS in the action are now in
debted to him for services rendered
IN person as attorney, and that while
admitting the claims the men have
declared that the debts had been out
lawed while he was in the state hos
pita1 at Winnebago.
Most of the men named in the COM
plant are prominent, and IL answer
to the charges they declare that the
claims of Mr.. Wiesmann are simply
an indication of his feeble mental
condition.

The vote on the proposition in the
different wards was as follows:

The count was the shortest on rec
ord in Kenosha, and the vote in the
most of the wards had been announced
by ha1f-past eight, the only ward
where it took any time to count the
result being the Fifth, where there
was the largest vote of the day and
where the opposition of the PROPOSE
ton had the largest part of it's ma ior-
ity.
The vote of the people came as a
sad blow to the men who had been
pushing the plan for the sewer, and
they are now without plans for the
future. The ordinance before the
council has been rendered worthless
by the vote of the people, and the
aldermen will not be- forced tosp1ace
themselves on record in regard to the
fight
At the meeting of the council on
next Monday evening the ordinance
will probably be laid on the table and
placed in a pigeon hole, to be brought
out at some future time when the
council sees new scheme for raising
the money for the building of the
sewer.
The committee will now be flooded
with individual sewer petitions, but it
is hardly probable that the council
will consent to act on any of these pc
titions until such time as a general
system of sewers has been voted
favorab1y on by the people.
Some of the friends of the sewers
are suggesting that new plan be
fixed up at once, and that the ques-
ton of a twenty-year bond issue be
submitted to the people. These people
hold that the great majority of people
voted against the sewer on account of
the claim that it would benefit only
people who are not at this time resi-
dents of the city, but that should the
bonds be allowed to run over a period
of twenty years these people would
come into the city and assist in pay
ing the tax.
This plan, however, would be
fraught with many difficulties, as the
bonded Indebtedness of the city is
now at the limit, and it would be nee
essary to get the consent of the state
legislature before such bonds could
be issued.

COWELL AIDS STATE.
Gives Evidence Against Alleged
wild Cat" Agents in
U. S. Court.
GAINESVILLE MEN ON SPIT

Walter M. Cowen, of this city, was
summoned before the United States
Icourt in Milwaukee this morning to
give testimony in regard to the illegal
insurance companies doing business
in the state, and he consented to give
his services to the district attorney
in his effort to break up the gang of
so-ca11ed ''wi1d cat" agents.
The Kenosha man is simply turn
ing states evidence, and has stated
that he will place in the hands of the
government agents every bit of mate
rial in his possession in order to con-
vict the gang that had attempted to
shoulder the blame for all the wild
cat business in the Northwest onto
him.
The cases today we're called before
Court Commissioner B1oodgood, and
two agents from GAINESVILLE were on
the spit. It is alleged that these men
had claimed that they were in league
with Cowel1, but the latter declares he
has never heard of them.
Cowe11 is now under bail to appear
at the next meeting of the Federal
Grand Jury in November, to answer a
charge of fraudulent use of the mail,
and like lion at bay he is preparing
to turn the entire crowd of men with
whom he has been working, over to
the United States officials. -
This act of Cowe11's is in keeping
with the acts of the other men arrest
ed by the government officials, and he
is simply acting in self defense.
When the first arrest was made in Chi
cago the men arrested at once shifted
the blame to the Kenosha man, and
in short time they managed to Sc
cure his arrest. Cowe11 refuses to be
the scape goat for the gang, and he
has offered to place at the disposal of
Inspector Ketcham all the contents of
the vaults in his office, and when these
things get into the hands of the Off
Gals the wild cat tails will be twisted
in great shape.
It is probable that Mr.. Cowe11 will
receive immunity from prosecution
on account of his efforts to aid the
officers in hunting down the other
men accused of writing worthless in
surance policies.

IT is reported that the postoffice de-
partment is considering the advisa-
bility of issuing fraud orders against
the manufacturers of patent medi-
cines alleged to contain harmful in
gradients, and that the agents of the
department are making an exhaust
i've investigation of the whole bust
ness of selling patent medicines as it
is now carried on in this country. A
fraud order issued by the government
would instantly ruin the business of
any medicine concern. It's adver-
Using would be stopped instantly, as
any paper carrying an advertisement
of a prescribed firm would be barred
from the mails, and printers ink is
the life blood of the patent medicine
business. 1t is hardly possible, how
ever, that after investigation the
postoffice department will decide to
assume the tremendous responsibility
of war on the patent medicine bust
ness. 1t would be very difficult
matter for anyone to distinguish with
absolute certainty between the good
and bad medicines, between the
harmful and the harmless, and one
mistake would be sure to involve the
government in endless damage suits.
One Mr.. Box, acting for the depart
ment, could easily cost the govern
ment million dollars, and the work
assumed by the government would be
out Of all proportion to the benefits
resulting.

Overwhelming Majority of Voters
Against big" Sewer Propo-
sition at the Election.
SCORES IN JUST TWO WARDS.
Final Count Shows 1852 Against I'm
provement and 47S in Favor of 1t.
North Side Votes Almost Unit.

By vote of 1852 to 478 the people of
Kenosha gave the proposition to levy
tax for the building of big sewer a
black eye at the polls yesterday, and
all further negotiations in regard to
the plans now on file with the city
council will be called off and some
old committee of the council will have
to get busy and devise some new
plan for granting relief to the people
in the western part of the city who
are suffering for lack of sewerage.
The result of the election had been
expected but there were few people in
the city who had predicted such a
heavy majority against the sewer
proposition.
There were only 1880 votes cast at
the election, this being about half
the voting strength of the city. In
only two wards, the First and Third,
did the sewer proposition secure a
majority of the votes cast and in these
wards the majority was so small that
it was swept into nothingness when
the result from the north wards of the
city was made known. In the north
wards the people voted almost as a
unit against the proposed plan to tax
the city, and in the Seventh ward the
vote was ten to one against the sewer.
In the Eighth it was almost as large
and the total vote for the sewer on
the north side of the city was only
forty-seven, while the opposition Sc
cured total of 800 votes. Out in the
Fourth ward the friends of the big
sewer had expected to secure large
vote as many of the people of that
ward were sadly in need of sewers but
here it was that the fight was made
against the dollar and half a foot
assessment and the Fourth ward was
listed with the majority in the fight
with vote of 80 for the sewer and $50
it.
The vote on the proposition in the
different wards was as follows:

Fred w. Bell and Miss Margaret Dris-

At nine O'Clock this morning at St.

The bride was attired in a becoming
wedding gown of white silk and car
ried brides roses. She was attended
by Miss Kittie Bell of Milwaukee, a
sister of the groom. George Drisse11,
a brother of the bride, was best man.
After the ceremony at the church a

HE USED A KNIFE.
Mrs. Morris Lebensohn, of Keno.
sha, Secures Divorce
in Chicago.
HUSBAND WAS A TERROR.

In the Circuit Court in Chicago
Monday afternoon Judge Mack grant
ed decree of divorce to Mrs. Rosy
Lebensohn, the defendant being her
husband, Morris F. Lebensohn. The
complaint alleged cruelty and was of
sensational nature. Mrs. Leben-
sohn alleged that her husband had
declared to her that he could get
twenty girls, and that he didn't have
to take care of his wife and children.
He went away from home and when
he returned and found the door locked
in his face he assaulted his wife. The
assault eliminated in Lebensohn
throwing a knife at the woman and
striking her in the face and knocking
her teeth out. Judge Mack de-
cided that Mrs. Lebensohn had suf-
fered enough and granted the divorce.
The decision of the court will be of
considerable interest in Kenosha. Mr..
and Mrs. Lebensohn had removed
from this city to Chicago on1y,a short
time ago. Lebensohn was formerly
the proprietor of store on Fremont
avenue. While the Lebensohns lived
in Kenosha it is sc1aimed that their
family relations were of a most
friendly nature, and the divorce &C
ton came as a great surprise to their
friends here. Mrs. Lebensohn and
her children are.snow residing in Chi
cago. The family is also known in
the village of Salem, as Lebensohn
was formerly in business there.
