MATT LAUER rs DEAD
Pioneer Tailor Of kenosha Died
at Kenosha Hospital Friday
After Long Illness
CARBUNCLE CAUSE OF DEATH

Matthias Lauer, a pioneer tailor of
the city and man universally known
among the pioneer settlers of Keno
sha city and county, died at the Ke-
nosha hospital just after II O'Clock
Friday night as result Of an attack
of blood poisoning. The death of the
tailor is directly ascribed to a car
buncle and this is one of the first
cases ever reported in this part Of the
country where a carbunc1e has re-
suited in death.
Mr.. Lauer had been sick for more
than year and some time ago he
went to the hospital where he under
went an operation. He seemed to have
fully recovered his health, but two
weeks ago small boil developed in
the center of his back. The boil in
creased in size until at the time of the
death of Mr.. Lauer it was almost as
large as common water pail. He
suffered intensely from the pain of
the growth. On Friday he became
unconscious and death followed a
few hours later. The cause of death
is given as blood poisoning.
Matthias Lauer was born in Chi
cago on November 1, 1847. He was a
son of Nicholas Lauer, one of the
pioneers of the city and came to Ke-
nosha with his parents in the fall Of
1852. Early in life he learned the
trade of tailor and he had always
followed this business. For many
years he had been employed as the
foreman of the shop connected with
the Eiche1man store.
Mr.. Lauer was a man Of cheerful
disposition, and for this reason he
was a great favorite among his
friends. He is survived by a widow,
two sons, Robert and William Lauer,-
and one daughter, Mrs. Matte Basin
dale, of Portland, Oregon. The de-
ceased also leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Mary Schmidt, of Brewer, Me-, and
Mrs. Kate E1sen, of Gi1lamook City,
Oregon, and two brothers, Nicholas
Laner, of this city, and Jacob Lauer,
of Racine.
The funeral was held from the
home of Robert Lauer at 700 Jenne
street at O'Clock Sunday afternoon,
after which the remains we're taken
to Oakwoods cemetery in the town of
Somers for interment.

Officials Of Lake County Offer but
500 for the Capture Of
italian Murderer
JURY HOLDS THREE GUILTY
Chicago and Wankegan Police Still
Insist that Giacomino Foti the
Third of the Gang of Murdcrers
is in Kenosha or Milwaukee

Chief Of Police Reinold and Sheriff
Veitch of this county have received
letters from the officials of Lake
county offering reward Of 500,
count 'em) for the arrest Of Giac omino
Foti, the third of the gang who are
death at Winthrop Harbor on last
Saturday morning. Strange to say
the officials at Waukegan and Chi
cago insist that the much wanted man
may be in Kenosha. They insist that
from information secured from the
two men now under arrest that the
third Italian after taking the train
for the south retraced his steps and
came back north and has since found
a safe hiding place amongsthe Italians
of Kenosha or Milwaukee.
The police of these two ,cities have
been making daily tours to the Italian
quarters in hopes of finding some
trace of the man, but thus farShe has
managed to keep himself out ofssight.
The reward for the arrest sof the
alleged murderer is so small that it is
hardly possible that it will attract
any attention from the big detective
agencies.
Added to this is the fact that The
Italian will be very hard man to
locate. There are so many Italians
of a description similar tosthat given
of Foti, that if all of the Italians
answering the description were ar
rested the jai1s along the North shore
would be filled with suspects in few
hours.
Foti is thought toshave been tool
of the man PHO, who.is said to have
been the ring leader of.the gang. PHO
is still in jail at Waukegan and he has
steadfastly refused to make any
statement in regard to the crime. On
the other hand his companion Gravano
is in state of collapse and he has
made any number of statements most
of them being of a contradictory
nature. It is probable that some final
action in regard to the preliminary
hearing of the case will be taken on
Monday.
The coroner's jury at Waukegan
completed its work on Wednesday
evening and the verdict returned
orders the arrest of the three men on
charge of murder in the first degree.
Kenosha officials have been con-
graduating themselves that the car
in which the Italians were living was
several hundred yards over the Wis
consin state line, as the cost of the
prosecution will probably be several
thousand dollars and this will now
have to borne by Lake county.
In order to aid in the work of
capturing the man Foti, the following
description Of him has been given
out:
Name -Giacomino Foti.
Nationa1ity-Ita1ian.
Age-About twenty years old.
Build-Slim built.
Height-Five foot eight inches.
Weight-About 14O pounds.
Comp1exion-Sa11ow

inch long on center of forehead, ex-
tending from hair down toward nose.

dark coat, dark gray, cheap SLOUGH
hat, with dark band. Wore blue and
white overalls with high bib or apron
