coroner's Jury Fails to Assign
Cause for Drowning Of Hubbard
Strupp Monday Afternoon
SUICIDE THEORY IS FAVORED
Jury Fails to Find Any Trace Of Be-
1ongings of Strupp, and No One
Appears to Have Seen Him
After Noon on Monday

It is probable that the mystery sur
rounding the death of Hubbard
Strupp, whose remains were taken
from the lake at the foot Of Garfield
street on Monday evening will never
be solved, as the coroner's jury, after
investigating the matter for twodays,
this afternoon returned a verdict
which failed to establish any cause
for the death of the man. It is gen
orally believed that the old man died
the death of suicide, but many, Of
his friends insist that he must have
met with foul play. In their investi-
cation the members of the jury have
found no evidence to warrant YER
dict of foul play, and while a bad
wound was found on the old man S
head, it is thought that this was made
by the body being dashed against
rocks somewhere in the lake. No
trace of the clothing of the old man
was found by the members of the
jury and no papers were found which
would indicate that Strupp was plan
ming to commit suicide. The disap-
pearance of the coat worn by the old
man at the time he left his home is
one of the queerest points in the
whole case. No one seems to have
seen Strupp after he left the home of
Mrs. Schulien, after paying her the
small loan that he made Of her, and
his actions on Monday afternoon are
in no way accounted for.
There is another feature of the case
that is being carefully looked into,
and that is the fact that on the day
Strupp was drowned his nephew went
to the office of the Kenosha Crib Co.
and made an effort to secure the
money which was due the old man for
his work at the plant. The nephew
was one of the principal witnesses at
the inquest, and the fact that he was
not present at the time ordered
caused the coroner quite little an
noyance. The coroner threatened to
send an officer after the boy, and
when this threat was made his father
consented to bring him into court.
The evidence at the adjourned ses-
sion of the jury this afternoon did not
throw any new light on the case, as
the facts brought out we're the same
that were placed in the hands of the
coroner on the night of the death Of
Strupp.
Coroner Robinson, in speaking Of
the case, said: 1--WE are returning
this open verdict in order to keep the
case open, so that the authorities may
make other investigations later if
they see fit. From the evidence now
on hand it would be impossible for
the jury to assign cause for the
death of Strupp, but with this open
verdict it will be an easy matter to re-
open the matter later if any new. evil
dence in the case is found"
The funeral of Strupp will probably
be held at 9 o'clock Thursday morn
ing and the remains will be inferred
in ST. George cemetery.

WITH THE GOLFERS
Ladies of Kenosha Club Survive the
First Rounds at Glen View


First Rounds at Glen View
Mrs. G. A. Yule, Miss Anise Palma
tier and Miss Edna Farr of the Keno
sha Country club, who qualified for
the match play at the Glen View open
tournament, all managed to survive
the match play in the first round and
are playing in the second round to-
day. Miss Pa1matier, in the race for
the first flight, defeated Mrs. F. E.
Donohoe Of Edgewater five up four to
play. In the second flight cup Mrs.
G. A. Yu1e won from Mrs. Susan E.
Empy of Glen View by default and
Miss Edna Farr defeated Miss Janet
Hubbard of Glen View four up three to
play, The second round is being
played today, and it is unfortunate
that Mrs. Yu1e was drawn to play
against Miss Farr, as one of the Ken
osha women must be eliminated by
this drawing.
AT the open tournament at Exmoor
W. H. Yu1e, the Wisconsin state cham
pion, was tied for one Of the 16 places
in the race for the north shore cup
and w. E. Yule qualified for the di.
rectorS' cup matches.

PROPERTY owners will not be al
lowed to use the new sewers until the
work is accepted by the city, and it is
probable that the representatives OF
the city will want to pass on the whole
contract at one time, so that none of
the sewers can be used until all are
completed. The property owners
should consider how lucky they are to
get the sewers at all in the face of all
the opposition to them, and not kick
on the short wait.

CALLS IT "A LIE OUTRIGHT"
Nathan Allen Makes Caustic Comment
on Statement in Chicago Paper


on Statement in a Chicago Paper
1T is lie outright, there is nothing
to it at ALL This was the response
made by Nathan Allen when asked in
regard to story which stated that he
was to be the chairman of the board
of directors of the new Central
Leather company. The story was
featured by Chicago papers this
morning. The story as it appeared in
the Chicago Record-Herald follows:
1T is reported on good authority
that Nathan Allen of Kenosha will be
chairman of the board of directors
and the dominating spirit of the new
Central Leather Company, the re-
organization of United States
Leather. The interest of the Allen
fanilyt in the old United States
Leather Company was one of the
largest, and the transfer of the Allen
tanneries to the reorganized concern
will greatly enlarge that interest.
Arrangements are nearly complete
for turning over the Kenosha proper
ties to Central Leather, and when
that is done the new concern will
have its permanent organization.
Only short time ago the Aliens
incorporated their business under the
name Of the N. r. Allen Sons Tannery
Company. The capitalization was
fixed at 100000, but the figure at
which it will be turned over to Central
Leather is probably ten times that
amount. The old United, States
Leather Company is said to have
made an offer Of Sc 1000 for the
properties some years ago and the
offer was refused

DEWEY" rs KILLED
Watch Dog for Kenosha Electric Rail-
way Co. Crushed by a Car

Watch Dog for Kenosha Electric Rail-
way Co. Crushed by Car
Dewey" the big watch dog owned
by Manager Willis Russell, of the Ke-
nosha Electric Railway Company,
met an untinely death in front of the
car barns Tuesday night. The big
dog had been used as a watch dog at
the barns since the line started opera
tons, more than two years ago, and he
was the most faithful employee of the
company. Tuesday night Dewey was
not feeling well, and during the rush
of clearing the cars for the show
ground, dewey" got under the
trucks of one of the cars and was 50
badly mang1ed that it was necessary
to kill him. a1
The dog was great favorite with
the men employed by the company,
and there is weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth as result of his
being killed.

The Illinois state board of health
evidently does not intend to be caught
mapping, and extraordinary precau-
tions are being taken to prevent the
yellow fever gaining foothold any
where in that state. There is yet
nearly full month in which the dis
ease can spread, and the Illinois Of
fcials are of the opinion that the at
tempt to minimize the dangers Of its

thatthe authorities of all the northern
states should be prepared for it's COM
ing. New Orleans is paying dearly
for not keeping clean, and some ofthe
northern cities may well take warning
from its experience.

KENosHA is yet to have its first case
under the new anti-cigarette law,
although the vio1ators are about as

is divided as to whether the law has
decreased the use of the cigarettes
among minors any, but it is certain
that no adult has had any difficulty
ia getting all he wanted at any time.
The cigarettes are not openly on sale,
but they are within the reach of any
one who has the price, just the same.

AN EARLY FRUIT SEASON
Cargoes of Peaches and Pears Will Be
Sent From Michigan Next Week.


Sent From Michigan Next Week.
In preparation for an early opening
of the fruit season, marine men have
made all arrangements to bring car
goes of peaches and pears from Mich
igan next week. In former years the
usual date of opening for the fruit
trade has been September 1, but IN
usual climate conditions this year
have made the fruit ripen at least ten
days in advance of the usual time.
Many of the small schooners engaged
in hauling lumber and bark will clear
for the fruit ports during the next
few days.
It is said that the Michigan peach
crop will be excellent and that the
yield Of pears will also be large.
Apples and p1ums are not so plenti-
full: in fact, it is said that almost none
of these fruits will be shipped, barely
enough for local consumption being
on the trees.
The various commission merchant
have had their agents along the river
front for the last week, chartering
cargoes from the owners and agents
of the smaller schooners. Compare
lively few of these boats will engage
in the fruit trade this year, however,
owing to the entertainments of the
car ferries, which are able to get the
fruit on the Milwaukee market with
in fifteen hours after it is picked.
