IN THE TOLLS AGAIN
George Downs Arrested in Rock
ford, ILL.,, on Charge Of
Horse Stealing
SPENT TERM AT WAUPUN

George Downs, the Gentleman
horsethief" who was sent to the state
prison at Waupun from this county
in 1901 to serve term of three years
on charge of horse stealing is again
in the tolls. He is confined in the jail
at Rockford, ILL.,, on similar charge
and has waived examination. Chief
Reino1d has been asked to come to
assist in identifying Downs.
Downs career in Kenosha was an
interesting one and while it resulted
in his being sent to prison for long
term the man himself to the end re-
fused to give out any information in
regard to his former life. Downs was
alleged at the time he was arrested in
this county to be the head of the big
gang of horse thieves which had been
a terror to farmers in all parts of
Southern Wisconsin. He came to
Kenosha in the summer of 1901 and
rented a team from Harry Kupfer who
was then in the livery business. He
drove the horses until one of them
Q1Gu anu Tic Quiet WdS 1OuuQ III Ou1-
cago and restored to it's owner. Downs
pleaded guilty to the charges against
him and was sent to prison. While in
jail here the officers discovered that
Downs had wife and children living
in afHuence at Oak Park and it was
claimed that the wife was ignorant Of
his real occupation. Downs" was
the name that he assumed for bust
ness purposes and it was under this
name that he was convicted. It is
alleged however that his real name
was Edward Andrews.
Downs was released from Waupun
only few months ago and it was
stated that he had gone into business
in Chicago. Recently a team was
stolen from farmer near Rockford
and the officers followed it far out in
to Iowa and found it in the keeping of
Downs. He declared that he had
purchased the team but when he re-
turned to Rockford he decided 10
waive examination and was bound
over on the charge.

SECRETARY BoNAPARTE has disap-
proved of the findings of the court of
inquiry in the Bennington case. He
is unable to see how a ship upon
which such a disaster could happen
could be Sin an excellent state of dis
cipline and in good and efficient cor
dition,'' as the court reported, and he
proposes to investigate further. His
course will undoubtedly meet with
the full approval of the President.
Any attempt to smooth over such al
accident can not operate for the good
of the service.

IT looks now as if the Milwaukee
grand jury had been led into infict-
ing an irreparab1e injury on one of
the foremost citizens of the state
when it returned an indictment
against Chas. Pfster, and if the
charge of larceny as bailee, made
against him, falls fiat, the Milwaukee
district attorney and the grand jury
will stand in an unenviab1e light be-
fore the people of Wisconsin. If it is
true that he was given no chance to
defend himself and answer the testi-
mony upon which it was based, the
indictment is an outrage, and we do
not believe that even his bitterest po-
1itica1 enemies will sanction such an
underhanded attempt to besmirch his
reputation.

MARKsMEN HAVE CLAM BAKE
Big Social Event Given at Grounds of
Kenosha Gun Club on Thursday

Big Social Event Given at Grounds of
Kenosha Gun Club on Thursday
One of the most noteworthy events
ever given on the grounds of the Ke-
nosha Gun Club was the clam bake
on Thursday afternoon. The bake
was given near the club house on
Washington Island, and forty of the
members and friends of the club
were present.
1t was clam bake in every sense of
the word, and there was the regu1a-
ton menu of clans, blue fish, chicken,
green corn and potatoes, with lib
eral supply of wet goods. The bake
was served late in the afternoon, and
after dinner was over the members of
the club entertained informally until
midnight. The day will go down in
the records of the club as red letter
one. It is the intention of the club
members, to make the clam bake an
annual institution.

SENDS WOMAN TO JAIL
Mrs. Susie Matchki Sent to Jail for Ten
Days on Charge of Assault

Mrs. Susie Matchki Sent to Jail for Ten
Days on Charge of Assault
One of the heaviest sentences ever
imposed on woman in a Kenosha
justice court was imposed on Mrs.
Susie Matchki Wednesday night by
Justice McCarron. The woman had
been arrested on a charge of assault
and battery and on plea of guilty
she was sentenced to pay fine OF S25
and costs. Not being able to pay the
fine she went to jail for ten days. The
woman has appeared in the justice
court on various charges four times
during the present year and the JUS
tice and attorneys interested in the
case are sof the opinion that some in
vestigation into her mental condition
should be made.
It is thought that long rest in jail
will show the mental condition of the
woman.

THE communications for new laws
made by the League Of Municipalities
should have great weight with the
legislature. They are made by men
who have had practical experience
and who know whereof they speak.
The legislation proposed by the
league is not designed to test any
particular theory of municipal gov
eminent. It is the outgrowth andlthe
result of careful study of the actual
conditions which confront municipal
officers in the discharge of their du-
ties, made by men who have had
every opportunity for observing the
operations of the present laws, and
who should know just what changes
are necessary or desirable.

DEALERS who have been accus-
toned to offer Goldfish for sale have
received notices from the Chicago
wholesale houses stating that here
after it will be impossible for them to
supply the trade in Wisconsin. This
action is caused by law passed by
the last Legislature of the state which
makes it misdemeanor to sell cod
fish or any other kind of fish or meats
IN which a preservative containing
borax has been used. AS practically
all forms of Goldfish are preserved by
the use of borax, the sale of this
toothsome fish in Wisconsin may be
cut off until another form Of preserva-
tives is used. This is the limit of en-
durance. What is home without cod
fish, anyway? When the state inter
feres with the supply of Goldfish balls
it is time for revolt. Let us up and
at the powers that have trifed with
our freeman's rights. Let the red
flag of anarchy wave until Goldfish is
restored to the free list. However,
the Goldfish aristocracy is rot inter
fered with. La Crosse Chronicle.

HENRY K. WHITE DEAD
Well Known Farmer of Pleasant Prai-
RE, Expired This Morning

Henry Kirk White, aged 70 years,
son of the late Ward C. White and one
of the best known of the pioneer
farmers of Pleasant Prairie, died at
his residence at the old MARI farm
just after midnight Thursday morning.
Death resulted from dysentery from
which Mr.. White had been suffering
for about week. The deceased was
native of Massa chuetts and was
born on June %, 1883. His father was
one of the earliest settlers of Keno.
sha county and Mr.. White had spent
nearly all of his life in Pleasant Prai-
RE. Heals survived by a widow and
four children. The children are
George, Clarence and Ward c. White
and Mrs. Clara Adams.
The funeral was held from the
late residence on Saturday afternoon
and the remains we're inferred in
the family plat at the Kenosha city
cemetery.

KENosHA has so far this year es-
capped the street carnival game but
some of the other cities in the state
have not been so fortunate. They
will be wiser and poorer when they
get through with the experience. The
carnival people can always figure out
on paper a handsome profit for the
society that is willing to back the en-
terprise but it generally results in the
carnival people going out of town
with all the money. One lesson such
as we had last time ought to be enough
for Kenosha.

John Bagakes Fails to Appear
Against the Man Who Stole
His Wife and Money
CREEK EL0PERS DISCHARGED
Com planning Witness Fails to Appear
and Tt Is Asserted That Case Has
Been Settled Out of Court
Pair Leave Together

The fact that John Bagakes, the
Greek workman, whose wife e1oped
from Pleasant Prairie with Nick
Kremacdototis a week ago did not
care great deal for the return of the
woman was shown this morning when
Bagakes failed to appear in court to
prosecute the woman and, the man
with whom she left on charges Of
grand larceny. Bagakes spent many
days locating the woman and her new
love, but when he found them it is
alleged by the police that he decided
the game was not worth the candle,
and the couple were discharged by
Justice Sturges this morning.
The Bagakes woman and Kremac-
dototis were Sarrested IN Racine a
week ago, charged with grand lar
ceny./ The warrant was made out by
the husband of the woman, who al
legged that she had left his home, TAX
ing with her money to the amount of
over $500. A portion of this money
belonged to workmen who had
boarded at the home of the COM
plainant. G1Krema cdototis is not much
of Beau Brumn1e1, in fact, it is prob
able that the usual woman would have
remained with Bagakes, but the
woman seemed to be delighted when
she was discharged by the court, and
she left the court room leaning on the
arm of hergnew protector. It is not
thought that Bagakes will make any
further effort either to secure the re-
turn of his wife or the return Of the
money stolen. It is claimed by some
of the officers who have taken an in
terest in the case that Bagakes was
not particularly anxious to recover
the woman, but that he was bending
his energies mostly in order to secure
the return of the money which had
been taken.
Mrs. Bagakes is a comely little
Greek woman, and it is said that sew
era1 of the Greek workmen employed
at the Pleasant Prairie power station
of the Chicago & Milwaukee Railway
had expressed great admiration for
her. However, she had remained
true to Bagakes until the night of her
e1opement. The husband alleges that
on that night the woman tied their
three-months' old baby up in b1an-
ket in order that she might be better
able to leave the house without her
husbandsbeing disturbed.
The police of the city who were in
terested in the case declare that Bag
axes and Kremacdototis have reached
an agreement which practically
amounts to a sale of the wife, and
that this is behind the failure of the
witness to appear to prosecute the
woman and her paramount.
Thursday the men who had asked
for the arrest of the couple notified
the police of Kenosha that they would
be on hand to appear against them,
but during the night they changed
their minds.
Mrs. Bagakes and Kremacdototis,
as soon as they were discharged, left
for Racine, where they will take up
their former rooms.

in November. 1t will be remembered
that at the time Of the arrest Of the
man he declared that he had secured
