FATALITIES.
Three Deaths This Week Result
From Accidents Three
Boys The Victims.
FELL FROM WALNUT TREE.

Last Friday evening fatal acci-
dent occurred at Vinegar Hill in
which Miss Emma Moore sustained
two fractured ribs and other injuries
and Charles Felpel, twelve year old
son of VIM. Felpel, met his death.
Miss Moore, accompanied by the
lad, was returning to her home from
Colora and while driving along the
road near the Shippers property the
horse suddenly bolted and threw
the wagon against a large rock
which juts out from the roadside.
The singletree and other parts OF
the vehicle were broken and the
occupants pitched out. The horse
freed itself from the broken wagon
and dashed toward home. Miss
Moore was able to rise and loudly
called for assistance, her cries being
heard at the Moore homestead, a
mile distant. Help from home and
nearby arrived within short time
and the lad was found lying under
the wagon in an Gunconscious con-
dition. He was taken to neigh
boring house and smedical aid sum-
mOned. An examination showed
that he had sustained a fractured
skull and he died a few hours after
ward. His funeral was held on
Monday, with interment at West
/ nottingham cemetery.
Miss Moore was taken to her
home and her injuries while severe
and painful are not thought to be
of a serious nature.
The horse which was the cause
of the unfortunate occurrence is the
same one Miss Moore was driving
the week previous and which bolted
near the same place, nearly throw
ing the occupants from the wagon.
A sudden death occurred in Zion
on Saturday which caused shock
to many communities in the upper
portion of the county. Walter L.
Clifford, eldest son of DR.. D. l..
Clifford, passed away after a few
days illness. He was apparently
in the best of health the week pre-
vious but was suddenly taken i'll
Monday morning and grew steadily
worse each day. A number of
physicians were called to the bed
side and all were puzzled in trying
to diagnose the case. Malaria, ty-
phoid and cerebro spinal meningitis
were at different times thought to
be the trouble, but it was finally
decided that the fatal illness re-
suited from the young man being
thrown from a horse about month
previous, whereby it is supposed he
sustained internal injuries.
The youth was most exemplary
young man, in his 22nd year, and
had completed two years study at
Harvard, intending to return last
Friday, and his untimely death in
vokes the sympathy of all to his
stricken parents and brother. His
funeral was held on Tuesday, with
interment at Rosebank.
Roman West, young son of VIM.
7. West, of Rowlandville, was fatal
ly injured last Sunday morning by
falling from walnut tree, which he
climbed while on his way to church.
The lad fell from such a height as
to break his limbs and back, but
Notwithstanding his severe injuries
he lived until the following day.

Police and Fire Commission Asks
the Council to Enlarge the
Fire Department.
CHARGES OF CRUELTY FILED.
Board Refuses to Take Official Action
on Charges Filed by People in the
Third Ward Against Firemen.-
Other Business Transacted.

The board of fire and police com
missioners is busy again, and at the
meeting of the board on Wednesday
afternoon it was decided to send a
resolution to the city council asking
that three new men be added to the
Kenosha fire department. 1t is stated
that the demands Of the department
are such that the addition Of new men
is absolutely nee essary. The COM
mission will Recommend that two of
the men be placed at the engine house
in the Third ward, and that the other
one be added to the force at the North
side engine house. There are several
applications for places on the depart
ment and if the council decides to give
the commission power to name the new
men an examination will be held for
the applicants. At present there are
but two men on the waiting list, and
it will have to be revised before the
new appointments are made.
Another matter of interest that
came before the commissioners was
the report sent in by residents of the
Third ward that the firen1en had treat
ed the horses belonging to the de-
partment in a cruel and inhuman
manner. The Commissioners care
fully considered the matter and
decided to take no official action on
the charges. The facts showed that
the men had been anxious to get to a
fire as soon as possible, and that to
this end the horses had been urged a
little harder than necessary. The
men at the Third ward station are
known to be careful and painstaking
men, and the commissioners were in
clined to think that the charges were
hastily made and without proper in
vestigation.
The commission did not take up any
of the demands that had been made
by the police force, and it is probable
that these matters will be taken up at
meetings to be held early in the new
year.
Regular meetings of the board will
be held from now on. All the COM
missioners were present at the meet
ing on Wednesday afternoon.

TO USE FIRE ALARM
Chief Barr Of the Fire Department
Will Aid to Secure Efficient
Police Work.
TO ESTABLISH A PATROL CALL.

Chief Of the Fire Department James
S. Barr and Mayor James German
have worked out plan by which the
city will have one of the most modern
police call systems that could be Sc
cured for the city and the system will
be established without any great cost
to the city. The plan has been entire
ly worked out and all that remains is
for it to be sanctioned by the city
council. The system provides not only
for police registry system but also
for a plan by which the services of
the fremen and fire wagons can be
secured when there is need of aid to
the police.
The system embraces plan for the
use of the forty-one fire alarm boxes
in the city as police registry stations,
and Chief Barr states that this dual
work can be placed on the fire alarm
system without in any way destroying
its efficiency. Each of the patro1men
are to be supplied with key to the
fire alarm boxes, and they would be
required to pass SO many of the boxes
each night. The system will be con-
nected with gong in the police Of
fee, and whenever the officer touches
the button at the fire box it will prop
erly register the cali at the police Of
fee. The boxes are so made that one
turn of the box will be given to show
the presence of the police officer,
while if four turns are made it will
signify that there is fire.
This registering of the police Off
Ger will not release the whistle at the
power house nor rouse the slice ping
firemen in the different engine houses.
BY the use of this system the fremen
can be called out to assist the police
where assistance is needed, and by
the system the hose wagons can be
called out for use as patrol wagons.
The mayor and chief of the fire de-
partment have had the matter under
consideration for a long time, and the
chief declares that the plan is en-
tirely practical.
The only change that will be de-
manded will be the installation of a
gong in the police office. AT the pre-
sent time the night sergeant at the
police office spends large proper
ton Of his time trailing about the city
on bicycle in order to keep tab on
the work of the officers in the out1y-
ing districts. With the new system
the night man can give his entire
time to the office and be there at all
times to answer calls for police pro-
lection. The new system as worked
out by the mayor and the chief will
be presented to the council on next
Tuesday evening.

Kenosha is to have station Of the
American DeForest Wireless Te1e-
graph company and the agents Of the
company are in the city this after
noon putting in an office Of the sys-
tenn in the Offices Of the Simmons
Manufacturing company. The receiv-
ers for the system are already in and
the first aerogram was received from
Chicago late this afternoon. Thus
far the installation Of the system is in
the way of an experiment and if it
proves practical for the uses of the
Simmons company sending tower
will be put in later.
In speaking of the matter this after
noon z. G. Simmons, Jr., the general
manager Of the company said: 'sJust
at present we are planning to have
this station for the exclusive use of
the factory and we will use it in
place of the telegraph and telephone.
The managers of the American De-
Forest company believe that we can
save money by installing the system
and if this is fact we will have a
permanent station here. If it proves
to be success for our business the
office will also be opened for the use
of the people of the city,
At present the receiving instrn-
ment is located in the office of Mr..
Simmons but should it be decided to
open the office for the use Of the gem
era1 public it will be placed in some
other part of the plant. Mr.. Sim
mons has offered the company the use
of the big Simmons chimney as a
station and it is possible that the offer
will be accepted.

SAVES HER CHILD.
Presence of Mind of Mother Saves Life
of Child From Fire.

OF CnllQ FROM Fire.
Thursday on the Milwaukee Road
near Winthrop Harbor occurred an
accident, which but for the deter
mined and coo1-headed efforts Of Mrs.
]. H. Pedrie, would have caused the
death Of her little child, who had
been playing with matches while she
was out of the room. Finding the
child ab1aze the mother showed the
most remarkable presence of mind in
not frantica1ly screaming, but in do
ing real, effective work in the quick
est possible way.
The child was playing in one room,
and Mrs. Pedrie was in adjacent one,
busy with her work.
Hearing disturbance, she hurried
to the door, and saw the little child
with it's clothing ab1aze. Showing
remarkable presence of mind, the
mother seized the child and endeavor-
ed to extinguish the flames by rolling
the child over and over on the floor.
She thought she had succeeded and
ceased her efforts, but on standing
up, she discovered that the blaze was
not yet extinct. She ran for blank
ct, and finally put out the flames. By
this time however, the child was bad
~ burned, but it is not thought it
will prove fatal.

TO OFFER REWARD
District Attorney and the Sheriff
to Seek the Slayers Of
John Wren.
COUNTY BOARD MAY ALSO ACT

District attorney Buckmaster has
decided that no stone shall be left
unturned in the effort to capture the
murderers of John Wren, who was
killed at Trevor on Dec. oath, and
Friday last it was decided that
Sheriff Timme should offer a reward
for the capture Of the guilty parties.
The amount Of the reward has not as
yet been decided upon but it will be
decided soon, and cards offering
the reward will be sent to the leading
detective agencies. IT is expected
that the county board will act at the
January session and that the reward
offered by the sheriff will be more
than doubled by the board. Already
several detective agencies have sent
word to Sheriff Timme that they were
willing to work on the case and sew
eral of these agencies have already
sent men to Trevor to make an exam
ination into the circumstanc sur
rounding the murder of Wren The
deputy sheriffs in the town of Salem
have been ordered by Sheriff Timme
to keep the closest possible watch on
the men who are supposed to have
been connected with the crime and to
see that the identity of every member
of the party of workmen employed by
the Wisconsin Central Railway com
pany was clearly established so that
these men can be secured if evidence
is found to connect them with the
murder.

FARMER WINS OUT.
Jury Decides L. c. Orvis, of Salem, was

Jury Decides L. c. Orvis, of Salem, was
Buncoed and Gives Him a Decision.
The Chicago men who make sharp
contracts with farmers in the outlying
districts had a set back Thursday af-
ternoon when the case of L. N. Ney-
ems of Chicago VS. L. G. Orvis of
Salem was decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT in the court of Justice
Sturges. While the evidence did not
show that Orvis had been buncoed it
did show that the bargain made by
the Chicago company from which
Neyens had purchased note for $40
was a decidedly sharp one, and the
jury after considering the evidence
for few minutes returned verdict
in favor of the defendant. One of the
jurors expressed it in this manner:
"The deal was a skin game and there
was nothing to do but bring verdict
for the farmer" The case will be APP
pea1ed to the circuit court later on.
