Mary RummelI, Who EIoped From
Genoa Junction With Fred
LichtenteIIer, Found Here
STRANGE ROMANCE OF GIRL
Daughter of Well to Do Farmer at
Genoa Junction E1opes With a Man
Thirty Years Her Senior. but
Had Not Been Married

Mary Rumme11, the Is year old
daughter of William Rummell, a we'll
to do farmer living near the village of
Genoa Junction, played an important
part in a romantic little drama which
had its closing scene in the justice
court of George B. McCarron on
Wednesday evening.
Mary had e1oped from Genoa juno
ton on last Monday afternoon with
Fred Lichtentel1er, a Kenosha man,
who was recently released from the
state prison at Waupun after serving
term on charge of wife abandon
ment. Lichtente1ler had been work
ing as teamster at Genoa Junction,
and while at work there he had met
the girl. She was fascinated with
Lichtente11er, and after much per-
suasion she consented to accompany
him to Kenosha, where the couple
had arranged to be married. The
Rummell girl left her home Monday
morning, stating that she was going
to the village to visit some friends.
She failed to return to her home in
the evening, and on Tuesday morning
the father instituted search for the
girl. He found that she had left with
| Lichtentel1er, and he at once set out
for Kenosha in hopes of being able to
intercept the clippers before they had
been married. He reached Kenosha
Wednesday afternoon and at once
went to the court house to find out if
license had been issued for the
marriage of Lichtente1ler and the
daughter. Finding that no license
had been issued, he went to the pc
lice Office, and with the aid of the off
GERS he went to the Lichtente1ler
home and found the girl. She stated
that the marriage had not as yet taken
place, but that she was under the
protection of the parents of Lichten-
teller. The groom to be had evidently
learned of the fact that the officers
were on his trail and he could not be
found.
The girl consented to accompany
the father to the Justice court, and
there the record of the man with
whom she e1oped was laid bare. She
declared, between sobs, that she had
no idea that Lichtentel1er had ever
been a convict, and stated that she
would not have run away with him
had she known his former record.
The Justice gave the girl good lee
ture, and after this was over she con-
sented to return with her father to
Genoa Junction.
Lichtenteller has not as yet been
located, and it is hardly possible that
any charge will be put against him if
found.
The father Of the girl stated that
she was just past IS years of age and
that Lichtente11er had influenced her
in an unusual manner.
The girl and her father, having
ended the sad little romance, returned
to their country home this morning.

THE most dangerous crossing in the
Ei4y is the one just north of the depot
On the street used by the teams haul
aGg freight to and from the North
western freight Office. There is a
aerfect network of tracks at this
point, and as there is scarcely an
h0Qr of the day and far into the night
when there is not switching being
dome on one and sometimes three or
5our of the tracks, trip to the freight
office of the road may fairly be called
aEtTa hazardous. Narrow escapes are
80 common that it is only a particu-
2ax1y close call that excites any re-
mark among the men whose business
sOnpels them to use this crossing. It
is only question of time when the
road is going to be compelled to pay
heavy damages for bad accident at
This point. There have been numer-
ors. requests from the shippers to have

Owners of Jacobs Island Plan to
Sell Property to Selected
Purchasers for Homes
PLAN IDEAL ARRANGEMENTS
Island has Been Divided Into Lots and
They Will be offered for Sale at
Once.-15 Acres for Public Park
and Amusement Ground

Jacobs Island is 10 be made beau
tlful site for summer homes and the
owners of the Island under the firm
90 name of the Island Company are now
sending out letters offering lots for
sale on the Island for the location of
summer homes. 1t is the purpose of
the company to form a select colony
oO of summer residents to be composed
OF the best people of Chicago, Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha. To
this end the island has been SUBJ
divided into lots of large area and
M they will be offered for sale at from
three to five hundred dollars each.
AS the enterprise is a private one the
sale of the lots will not be opened to
oo the public but the purchasers of lots
~ have been selected from ,the list of
friends of the owners of the property
and the purchaser is given the as
surance that no one will be allowed to
W purchase a lot in the community who
will not be congenia1 to ethe other
members.
In order to make the island even
more attractive the company has
the land to be used as public park
and amusement place. On this tract
will be laid out tennis courts croquet
90 grounds and grounds for other amuse-
ments. It is even possible that nine
hole golf course will be one of the at
fractions. Added to this feature ar
90 rangements will be made to dedicate
another portion of the grounds for the
use Of building large dance and
concert hall which may be used as
90 general gathering place for the
colonists during the summer months.
Arrangements will also be made for
the building of large public stables
M which may be used by the co1enists
for the care of their horses and
vehicles.
This plan has been under con-
M sideration for several years and it is
now to be made reality. A surveyor
and landscape gardener have been at
work on the plans for the identifying
of the island for several months and
it is claimed that when their plans
are carried out the island will he one
of the most beautiful resorts along
the West shore of the lake. The
90 island is sufficiently large to offer
W homes for from fifty to a hundred
families.
Many prominent men in the cities
named are connected with the plan.
w Col. William w. Strong of this city is
the secretary of the company. Other
men in the company are Charles
Quarles of Milwaukee, Clarence
90 Snyder, of Racine, G.. r. Mcdowell
formerly of Kenosha, DR.. N. A. Pen
noyer, of the Sanitarium and many
other well known people in Kenosha.
90 The plat for the sale of lots will be
ready for the purchasers by the end
of the present week.

BUYS SCOTT ICE COMPANY
Tom O'Donne1l Buys Business of Com
peting Company in Kenosha

Competition in ice in Kenosha has
been reduced by deal between the
Scott Ice company and Tom O'Don-
nell. The deal is a sale of the busi-
ness of the Scott company to O'Don-
mel and he is now in charge of the
business. For the present the Scott
company will retire from business.
Both companies were handling Keno.
sha county ice so that the change will
make little or no difference to the
patrons of the Scott company. The
consideration of the deal is private.
O'Dennell was the latest ice man to
enter the Kenosha business but with
the route acquired from the Scott
company he will have the largest
business in the city.
