The fish market man glanced at the

Where did he come from2 New Eng

Strange that a few miles should
make such a difference in fish names.

Condemnation Proceedings Start
ed by the Northwestern Road
Settled Out Of Court.
ENTIRE RIGHT NOW SECURED
Company Pays Good Prices for Right
of Way for New Line Through Ke-
nosha County-Work is to be
Rushed Right Along.

The commissioners recently APP
pointed by the Circuit court to adjust
the differences between the Mi1wau-
kee and Lake Shore Railway COM
pany and farmers in the towns of
Somers and Pleasant Prairie, were to
have met at the court house this morn
ing to assess damages for the taking
of a right of way, but the meeting
was not held, as late last night the
managers of the company managed to
settle the differences out Of court and
the expense of condemnation proceed
ings will be eliminated.
James Brogan, of the town of Pleas
ant Prairie, was the last man to effect
settlement with the company. When
the original petition for the appoint
mept of a commission was filed there
we're five pieces of property through
which the company had not been able
to get right of way by purchase, the
farmers refusing to sell at price
considered reasonable by the COM
pany. Last week deals were closed
for the purchase of the right of way
from all save Brogan, but he held out
for a higher price. Brogan owns
forty acres of land and the right of
way proposed by the company was
within few feet of the buildings on
his farm. For this reason he de-
manded larger damages than had
been demanded by his neighbors. The
company had repeatedly refused to
pay the amount demanded, but at the
last minute Brogan got his price and
two Of the. commissioners were mott
| fed late last night that there would
be no meeting this morning. The
other commissioner was at the court
house ready for work and he will re-
ceive his pay for the day.
The settlement with Brogan com.
pletes the work of securing the right
of. way for the new line through Ke-
nosha county. c. H. Gonnermann
has engineered the work for the com
pany and he is deserving of great
deal of credit. If the company gets
off as easily in the other counties as
in this county, the line will be COM
pleted at comparatively small cost.
Several other counties are still hang
ing out against the promoters of the
road, and there will be considerable
trouble in these counties to secure the
right of way desired.
The work of building the line
through henosha county is now well
under way and it is expected that it
will be completed before the first of
September. The contractors hope to
be able to complete the entire line
from the state line to Milwaukee be-
fore the close Of the present year.

GOES TO HER REST
Mrs. Susan CiIIett, Widow of the
Late Judge GiI|ett, Died on
Thursday Evening.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Mrs. Susan Atwater Gi1lett, aged
95 years, widow of the late Judge Cur
din Gillett and pioneer resident of
the city, and one of the few remaining
original Daughters of the American
Revolution, is dead. She peacefully
passed into the sleep which knows
no awakening late Thursday after
noon. Death was due to general
breaking down due to old age.
Mrs. Gi11et was a woman of wonder
full vitality but she had been growing
feeble for many weeks and week
ago Saturday she was forced to give
up and go to bed. She grew steadily
weaker and for the last twenty-four
hours her son and daughter and her
aged sister, Mrs. J. M. Ward Of Osh-
kosh. had been constantly at her bed
side.
Mrs. Gil1ett is survived by three
children, Miss Augusta Gillett and
John Gillett of Kenosha, and Miss
Anna e. Gil1ett, teacher in the Chi
cago schools. The funeral will be
held from the late residence on Grand
avenue on Sunday afternoon and the
remains will be laid TO rest in the
family plat at the city cemetery.
Mrs. Gillett was a daughter of a
distinguished parent, her father be-
ing John Atwater of Vermont who
served in General Washington s army
during the war of the Revolution.
She was born in Cayuga county,
New York on Sept. 8, 1910.
She came to Kenosha with her hus-
band in 1854 and had resided here
ever since. Since the death of her
husband several years ago Mrs. Gill
lett had been an invalid. She was a
woman of many noble characteristics
and was beloved by her friends. She
was an honorary member of the Ke-
nosha chapter of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution and had
been honored with membership in
the state chapter.

EXPLOSION OF GAS
Heater in the Basement Of the
County Jail ExpIodes and
Prisoners Have a Scare.
TURNKEY LElNENWEBER HURT

An explosion Of gas in the base
ment of the county jail late Wednes-
day afternoon caused the prisoners
of the jail to have bad fright, and
turnkey Leinenweber was slightly in
jured as a result. The heater is of
the automatic sort and is kept in the
basement of the jail for use in heating
water for the bath room connected
with the prison department.
Late Wednesday afternoon, turnkey
Leinenweber desiring to force some
of the prisoners to take bath, turned
on the hot water and little later he
discovered that the water was not
heating properly. He went into the
basement and noticed the odor of es-
Gaping gas, but failed to realize the
danger. The small basement room
had been completely filled with gas
and when Leinenweber lighted a
match an explosion followed. The
turnkey was thrown many feet strik-
ing the wall with great force and the
explosion was felt over the entire
building. AS soon as possible other
people at the jail rushed to the cellar
to learn the cause of the explosion.
They found the turnkey laying on
his back and suffering from a half a
dozen bad bruises. He was taken to
one of the upper rooms and recovered
in short order.
The explosion caused panic among
the few prisoners in the county Jail
but no one was injured. The entire
lower part of the building was filled
with gas and it is miracle that Lei
nenweber escaped with such slight
injuries. Plumbers are in the jail
today repairing the damage done by
the explosion.

LAPLAND BABIES.

For Their First Few Months They
Live In Wicker Baskets.
Little Laplanders spend the first few
months of their existence in baskets of
wickerwork provided at the top with a
conical framework too close for the ba-
by to fall through and yet giving the
infant plenty Of light and air.
Before commencing her work for the
day the Lapp mother places her child
In the basket and hangs it on the limb
Of some nearby tree, occupation being
found for the little one by stringing
toys upon a cord passed across the top
of the basket
Thus provided, the child spends the
entire day in the open and yet at the
same time is guarded from the troubles
and dangers Of outdoor child life in
other countries.
The basket idea curiously parallels
the Indian idea of strapping the pa
poOse into a carrying case, but the
Lapp baby has the advantage over its
Indian fellow in that it's limbs are un-
confined and a certain amount of Iiber-
ty Of movement is afforded.
The child is carried from place to
place in the same basket, the cord by
which it is attached to a tree being
slung over the shoulder

THE GREAT ICE AGE.
Rsow It's Passing Left It's Record In
Grave1s and Rocks.

Some 10000 or more years ago the
conditions which had brought about
the great ice age where beginning to
change. The elevated land began to
sink, and higher temperature slowly
followed. The long winter was gradu-
ally drawing to close, and the great
springtime of the world was beginning
to hasten its influence upon an ice COW
cred land. Tons, rather mountains, Of
Ice began TO melt, and the water filled
the river valleys to overdowing. Grav-
Ell, sand and mud were borne along by
these raging waters and deposited
wherever the conditions were favora-
BILE. Ice RATS covered the surface of
the flood, bearing rocks and powders
from more northern lands.
All rivers which had glacial sources
were greatly Influenced by the final
melting AS the southern part of the
Ice sheet rested over northern Penn
sylvania, the Delaware and the Sus-
quehanna were typical rivers of the
age The rocks and gravels which line
their banks show how we'll they have
kept the record In the Delaware val
ley brick clay and gravel are laid out
in beautiful terraces, especially at
Stroudsburg and the Water Gap. Here
the waters rose some 200 feet, and an
artificial dam is supposed to have
formed the river into a broad lake.
The Indians, it is said, have curious
legend about this flood. They tell us
that the 'Minsies" were the first race
which dwelt here, and the region round
about they call 'Minisink," meaning
that the waters are gone"-a vague
remembrance perhaps of the postgla-

TO GET HEAVY SENTENCE.
Herman Daily, Who Worked in Keno
sha, Convicted of Burglary.

Herman Daily, the gentleman burg
lar" who admitted some time ago
that he had been in Kenosha and had
possibly done some work here, was
convicted on charge of burglary in
the circuit court at Milwaukee
Thursday afternoon and will probably
be given the maximum penalty tomor-
row. It is claimed that Daily has
spent fifteen years behind the prison
bars on different charges Of burglary.
He was last arrested on a charge of
burglarizing a Milwaukee residence
and as the crime was committed only
few days after two houses in Keno
sha had been entered it was thought
that Daily was connected with the
crimes here.

IN THE TOLLS AGAIN.
o. p. sackett Sent to Waupun From
This City is Arrested in Chicago.

This City is Arrested in Chicago.
Oliver P. Sackett, rather famous
Kenosha county criminal, has been
arrested in Chicago on a charge of
counterfeiting and larceny and de-
tectives were here from the Central
station Thursday night to investigate
the record of Sackett in Kenosha.
Sackett recently was released from
the state prison at Waupun where he
had served a sentence of seven years
and six months imposed by Judge
Fish of this circuit. Sackett was ar
rested in Kenosha in 1896 charged
with an attempt to kill Owen O'Hare
who was at that time member of the
Kenosha police force. The incident
was most sensational one. Sackett
and his pal Frank Miller attacked
O'Hare near the old University school
building and O'Hare shot Miller
down. Later both of the men we're
sent to the state prison at Waupun.
1t is alleged that Sackett had a long
criminal record before he was arrested
in Kenosha and he is declared to be
one Of the most daring criminals in
the country.
