woman was arrested by Inspector

woman was arrested by Inspector
Shippy in Chicago, but she declared
that she was innocent of killing
Swanson and later made confession
in which she admitted that she had
come to Kenosha and had forged the
name of Carrie Swanson to the deed.
She claimed that she had known
Swanson for some time and that he
had promised to lift her from life of
shame and that she was to have &C
companied him to California where
they were planning to make their
home. She was held in Chicago for
several days but the Kenosha police
refused to take any steps to bring her
to Kenosha and the Chicago authori-
ties released her.
The coroner's jury in this county
which investigated the case returned
a verdict of suicide. The remains of
Swanson were taken to Elgin and
buried. There was always some rea~
son to believe that the man was
murdered, and it is possible that the
tip to the Chicago police may result
in the parties responsible for the
mans death being brought to justice.

THEY MAY INVADE KEN0SHA

The chief of police of Chicago has
sent out orders to his large body of
policemen that the city must be
purged of criminals and crime. Every
known criminal will be chased out of
the city or placed under arrest, and
gambling holes closed. This action
is taken because it is said that crime
has increased 20 per cent in six
months and statements made that it is
possible to get any man killed and
disposed of in that city for small
sum of money.
The driving out of criminals means
that they will seek smaller cities.
Kenosha is only fifty miles away and
it is natural to presume that we will
catch a number of them. This being
true, attention is called to the small
police force to take care of a popu1a-
ton of more than 10000 people. With
the present handful Of officers it is not
possible to take care of the city prop
er1y.
Thereof are localities in the city
where an officer rarely travels, and
some nightsS large territories and dis
tricts are utterly at the mercy Of Grim
inals did'Hthey desire to operate.
While the salary of a policeman is
larger thansthe. average mechanic and
work steadyithe year round, app1ica-
tions for Bthe places are very few.
Young men.dolnot appear to care for
the position and the members of the
fire and policeScommission are not re-
celving the applications expected. !.
At least fourkmore good men are
needed on the force to make it
valuable.

TO HAVE TROUBLES
Hunters Outfits or Tents Will
Not be Carried Free
by the Railroads
ROADS ISSUE A NEW RULE

New surprises are being sprung con-
tinua11y by the railroads of Wisconsin
upon the people of the state, as to
what the roads operating IN Wiscon-
sin will and will not be able to do in
the future in the way of accommoda-
tons for the travelling public under
the recent railroad legislation.
The latest announcement is that
tents and camp equipments, used by
hunting, fishing and camping parties,
can no longer be carried by the rail
roads as baggage. The general bag
gage agents of the Wisconsin roads
have just issued positive instructions
to all agents, to the effect that under
the Wisconsin laws no railway en-
ploye will ia the future accept, for
transportation as baggage, any tents,
camp equipage, or any other article
not authorized to be carried as ordin-
airy baggage, belonging to any resi-
dent of the state of Wisconsin,
To make this point plain beyond a
doubt the circulars declare that
"agents will not check free any ex-
cess baggage above the legal free
allowance Of $50 pounds for each full
ticket, or IS pounds for each half
ticket, and no other articles can be
checked as baggage; these rules will
be strictly enforced to avoid discrim-
ination, which is prohibited by law"
In the past every road in Wisconsin
has extended special courtesies to
parties going on hunting, fishing or
camping trips by carrying their camp
outfits as baggage, either as excess
baggage at excess rates, or free.
Hereafter all will have to be sent by
express or freight.
And at this Wisconsin sportsmen
will doubtless be wrotl1.

Police of Chicago Get Mysterious
Message in Regard to MUIR
der of Andrew Swanson
WAS FOUND NEAR KEN0SHA
The Man Who Formerly Resided at
Twin Lakes and Who was Buried as
a Suicide May Have Been Muir
dered-No Arrests are Made

The mystery surrounding the death
of Andrew Swanson, former Twir
Lakes man whose body was found
partially buried in the snow and hang
ing to limb of tree on the French
farm in the town of Pleasant Prairie
in March of last year, has beer
brought up again by telephone mes
sage received by the Chicago police
on Friday afternoon.
The message was from woman and
the police were notified that this
woman, who did not give her name,
could give them evidence of the
identity of woman and four men
who had murdered Swanson for the
purpose of robbing him. The woman
stated that the body had afterward
been hanged to a limb of a tree near
Kenosha in order to give the idea that
the man had committed suicide. The
police have not as yet made any ar
rests nor have they been able to
trace the sender of the mysterious
message.
The story of the death of Swanson
will be recalled by many Kenosha
people. Swanson had formerly been
a prosperous farmer near Twin Lakes
but he had trouble with his wife and
she and her daughter left him and
went to Elgin, ILL.,, to live.
On Feb. 20 of last year Swanson
came tojs Kenosha in company with
Anna Riley, Chicago woman, and
the woman acting as his wife signed
deeds for the transfer Of the Kenosha
property to Charles Swanson. The
former owner of the property secured
small sum Of money in cash and two
mortgages for the remainder Of the
purchase price. The fraud was dis
covered short time later and the
real Mrs. Swanson came up from
E1gin and signed the deed after Swan
son had transferred the mortgages to
her.
This was the last heard of the case
until the 1ife1ess body Of Swanson was
found hanging to tree on the French
farm. On thesfo11owing day the Riley

Milwaukee Light and Traction
Magnate Finally Gets
Kenosha Stock
BUYS HOLDINGS OF BIGELoW
Stock in the Company is Sold at SEQ
Share-Beggs' Holdings are "On1y
aDrop in the ncket"-Contro1-
ling Stock is Owned Here.

John |. Beggs, president Of the Mil
waukee Light, Heat & Traction COM
pany, and practical owner of the Gas
and Electric Lighting companies in
Racine, has invaded Kenosha, and
after years of effort he has secured
an interest in the Kenosha Gas 8
Electric company. Thursday in Mil
waukee he purchased for $4,000 the
stock IN the Kenosha concern which
was formerly held by Frank G. Bige-
low, the defau1ting president Of the
First National Bank of Milwaukee.
Beggs was the only bidder for the
stock, and it is claimed that the ar
rangement had been made to sell the
stock to him, The stock was pre-
ferred stock, and a portion of the
100000 preferred stock issued by the
company. It was sold to the First
National Bark of Milwaukee origin
ally, and Bige1ow secured his owner
ago it was announced that the stock
was to be sold, and Roger Kimba11,
the manager for the Kenosha plant,
went to Milwaukee to purchase it and
found that it could not be purchased.
Beggs seems to have had an agree
ment with Bige1ow in regard to the
stock before the latter went into bank
ruptcy, and it is supposed that this
deal largely Influenced the sale of the
stock.
Ac hn e.4n =
good thing, as in the last five years
the company has paid dividend of
five per cent on the preferred stock at
par value. This would yield Beggs
nearly ten per cent on his money, if
the company continues to pay the div
idends.
AT the Office of the Gas company
this morning Manager Kimba11 stated
that he could not see through the
plan of Beggs in purchasing the
stock in the Kenosha concern. He
admitted that Mr.. Beggs had been
seeking interests in Kenosha for
some time, but thus far the company
had no knowledge of stock being
transferred to him. There is $4,000
worth of stock that may be in the
hands of Mr.. Beggs, but this is far
from controlling interest in the
plant, and the other stock is so held
that it would be almost impossible for
Beggs to get the control. On the
other hand the majority of the stock
holders of the Company are in de-
cidedly eligible central position to
freeze Mr.. Beggs out at any time they
may see fit.
The capital stock of the company is
100000, and the common stock
amounting to 100000 has a voting
value. This stock is nearly all held
by Kenosha people.
In connection with the purchase of
the stock by Mr.. Beggs it is limited
that he is acting for parties interested
in the gas and electric syndicate
which has control of the franchises
in towns ia1ong the lake shore south
of Kenosha, and it is possible that
this company is looking for footing
in Kenosha. It was generally
thought that the stock of the com
pany was valued considerably above
par, butsthe manager explains the low
cost of the stock by the reason that
none Of it is on the market.
