WAS TOUCHED FOR Sc
Peter Gales, the Well Known
Saloon Man, Done for Amount
by Smooth Stranger.
PRESENTED FORGED CHECK

Peter GALES, the well known Main
street saloon man, is mourning the
loss of So, and is also keeping an
eagle eye out for the man who did
him out of it. One day last week a
well dressed young man about Is years
of age approached Mr.. Gales in his
place of business and explaining that
he had run short of funds to continue
his trip requested him to cash a small
check.
The young fellow put up good
front and was a smooth ta1ker. The
amount of the check was but So and it
was made payable to W. M. Earring
ton, the signature being in the name
of c. W. harrington, who, the man
said, was his father. The young man
showed Mr.. Gales letters addressed
to him in the name of w. M. Earring
ton and letter heads bearing the name
of G. w. harrington.
Mr.. Gales told him that he never
cashed checks for strangers, but the
young fellow was persistent and fin
ally Mr.. Gales who, as he expressed
it,, thought that no one would be fool
enough to risk the penitentiary for
such small amount let him have the
money and he promptly disappeared.
Mr.. Gales deposited the check in
his bank and thought no more about
the incident until the check came back
to him from the Drexe1 National bank
in Chicago, on which it was drawn,
marked signature forged" Mr..
Gales at once instituted a quiet
search for Mr.. Harrington" but was
unable to find him and it is probable
that he took the first train out of the
city after getting the check cashed.
Mr.. Gales will go to Chicago to
make another effort to locate his man
before charging the So up to the ex-
perience account, but it is unlikely
that the officials will be able to give
him any clew to the fellows identity.

AN UNUSUAL CASE.
Man Sued for Board Bill Escapes on
TechIicality.

Tech1icality.
All day Saturday the attention Of
Justice Sturgess was taken up with
the trial of the case of Wyckes VS..
Leska. The action was unique in the
annals of justice court prac tice in Ke-
nosha. Wyckes and Leska in the
fore part of last year, thinking to
better their fortunes, went to Duluth,
Mimi, to seek employment. At their
boarding house Wyckes claims he
Went good for Leska's board and that
after short time Leska left leaving
unpaid board bill in the sum of $50
which Wyckes was forced to pay. He
soon after came back to Kenosha and
finding Leska at work here garnisheed
his wages to compel him to repay
what he, Wyckes, had paid out for
his board in Duluth. The plaintiff
put in his testimony taking till the
middle of the afternoon to finish.
The attorney for the defendant at this
juncture made a motion for nonsuit
for the reason that the statute of
frauds had not been complied with in
that there was no writing of any sort
to show that such an agreement to
stand good for the other mans board
had been made. The argument proved
to be conclusive to the mind of Justice
Sturges and the motion for a nonsuit
was granted, to the great joy of the
friends of LeSka and the utter diSOTSt
of the friends of Wyckes.

ANOTHER NEW BOAT.

Goodrich Company is to Add Another
Steamer to It's Passenger Fleet.
Another passenger steamer, mate
for the Virginia, is to be added to the
fleet operated by the Goodrich Steam
ship company, the coming summer.
The vessel is being constructed at
cost of $500, COO, and IN the beauty of
it's interior furnishings it will surpass
any of the boats operated now by the
company. It isexpected that the yes
sci will not be completed until late in
the summer. It will be entirely of
steel, and will stand comparison with
any of the lake steamers, and it will
be able to battle with ice during the
winter seasons.
The Goodrich company also is Civ
ing the Atlanta an overhauling from
stem to stern. The vessel will be re-
painted, and the furnishings will be
frightened, so that when it is ready
to re-enter the service it will have the
appearance of new boat. Just when
the summer fleet will be again in SER
vice depends upon the weather.
There is still considerable ice in the
vicinity of Sturgeon bay, and the
prospects are that all the vessels will
not begin making their regular trips
until May.

AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE
Miss Henrietta Crosman In "Sweet
Kitty Be11airsO

Miss Henrietta Crosman opened her
three weeks engagement at the Grand
opera house, Chicago, last Monday
night, in David Be1asco's great COM
edy "Sweet Kitty Bellairs," which
proved to be the most interesting play
of the dramatic season.
Chicago p1aygoers have never seen
so natural stage effect as the real
istic rain storm which occurs in the
last act of the play. Indeed it seemed
so real that an old lady in an orches-
ira chair almost caused commotion
in the theater by raising her umbrella.
The downpour of water on the stage,
with Miss Crosman hudd1ed beneath
her umbrella, momentari1y makes one
believe that the elements are really
under the worst influence of the
weather man.
ssSweet Kitty Bel1airs" is magnifi-
Gently staged. The costumes of the
Georgian period, with their beautiful
Gainsborough hats, flowing p1urnes
and brocaded satin, offer opportuni-
ties for superb gowning, and the play,
aside from it's dramatic value, is ex-
tremely interesting as display Of
millinery and costumes.
Monday nights premiere attracted
most fashionable audience. The
Grand opera house was packed to the
doors and Judging from the advance
sale it looks as if Miss Crosman will
establish a new record for box office
receipts before the close Of her en-
gagement.
Edwin Stevens, the great character
actor, who is one of the members of
Miss Crosman's excellent supporting
company, made an individual hit in
his tipsy scene.
The comedy reminds one of 1.-THE
Rivals and "The School for Scandal
so cleverly is the atmosphere of the
Georgian period retained. es ~
