ket opened steady at unchanged prices to

Efforts Being ) 3 Made to Locate Mis-.
Laura Ennis Who Disappear
ed on Thursday Last
CAME HERE SEEKING WORK
Husband Who Comes. to Kenosha in
Search Of the Women Claims That
She Has Eloped With Another
Man From Chicago

The police of this city have been
asked to search for Mrs. Laura Ennis
of Chicago, who disappeared from
this city under mysterious circum-
stances on last Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Ennis had come to Kenosha
for the purpose of securing work for
herself and her husband, and made
application for work at several Of the
local factories. This was on Thurs
day morning, and on Thursday after
noon she wrote her husband that she
had engaged a room at house
on Pomeroy street.
Monday, her husband, Charles
Ennis, came to Kenosha from Chicago
and stated that his wife had arranged
for the rooms and had written to him
that she had secured employment for
both herself and her husband. Ennis
was dumfounded when he found that
his wife was not in Kenosha, sn
It seems that when Mrs. Ennis left
Chicago on Thursday last she came
to Kenosha accompanied by young
man who had formerly boarded with.
the family in Chicago. and the hns-
band seems to be of the opinion that
the two have e1oped, and that they
used the trip to Kenosha as ruse to-
put him off his guard.
Ennis was seen this morning, and.
stated that his wife was a comely wo-.
man of "a years, and that he felt con-.
WINGED that she would not commit
suicide. He was not so sure that she.
would not e1ope with the other man.
"My wife wrote to me" said Ennis,
stating that she had secured en-
p1oyment for both of us at the Hosiery
works, and that she had secured liv-
ing quarters on Pomeroy street
short distance from the factory. When
| went to the house this morning the
woman stated that she had never
heard of Mrs. Ennis, and when
showed her the letter she could give
no explanation"
The letter from Mrs. Ennis bore
Kenosha post1nark, SO it is evident
lAdl - was 1udA1Cu llOH1 lH1S City ~
is possible that Mrs. Ennis and her
alleged paramount stopped in Kenosha
for few hours and then went on to
Milwaukee, or even back to Chicago.
Ennis stated this morning that he
would not spend any time or money
searching for the woman, butthat he
would go to work in one Of the Keno.
sha factories.

HE GETS LIMIT FINE
Italian Who Abuses a Priest is
Fined $25 and Costs in Justice
McCarron's Court
DIGGING CELLAR ON SUNDAY

AS m indirect result of working on
Sunday, P. Caponi, an Italian, was
fined SIS and costs in Justice McCar-
ron's court on Tuesday afternoon,
and before the work of settling had
been completed the Italian was
mulcted the sum Of $500. Caponi
had been arraigned in court on the
complaint of Father Joseph Ange1etti
of the Italian Catholic church, on
charge of using abusive language,
and on further charge, brought by
Chief Reinold, of resisting an officer.
Caponi's troubles began onSunday.
He was planning the erection Of a
Catholic church and had started the
work of digging the cellar on Sunday.
Father Argeletti noticed the man at.
work, and desiring to have his, coun-
trymen set an example for Americans
he demonstrated with the fellow, but
without avail. In fact, the language.
which the man used to the priest was
of such nature that it is unfit to be
placed in print.
The matter was reported to the po
lice on Monday and Chief Reinold
went out to arrest the fellow on war;
rant issued on the complaint of the
priest. The Italian was still busy at
work on the cellar, and when the
chief started to take him into custody
| he fought like madman. The chief
managed to down him after a short
encounter, and by a generous use of
jiu jitsu landed him in jail.
When he was arraigned the Italian
was su11en and seemed to be proud of
the defiance he had shown to the
church and the officers Of the law, and
Justice McCarron decided to give him
a fine Of $25 and the costs of the &C
| ton. The fine and costs we're paid.

Local Mix Dealers Union Serve
Notice That Price Has Been
Advanced to Six Cents
FIGHT BEEF PACKERS TRUST
One Shop in City Reduces the Prices ON
all Meats and the Beef Trust Threat
ensto Furnish Free Meat to the.
People of the City

An imperial ukase issued by the
kenosha Milk Dealers Union Tuesday
morning stGrtles the community with
the statement that the price or milk
beginning with Wednesday morning
will be six cents a quart This de-
c1s1on was reached at the annual
meeting of the milk dealers on Satur-
day night, and as every milk dealer
IN the city is a member of the Union
there is no appeal from the decision.
Ia announcing the boost of a cent in.
the price of milk the dealers state
that such change in price is not the
result OF their having desire to reap.
bigger harvest from their business,
but on account of the fact that the
price of milk by the can has ad-.
vanced. Only few of the men SELL
ing milk in Kenosha own their own
dairies and they are forced to depend
on the milk market for their supply.
At the first of each November the
cost of the milk to them is increased
and they are forced to raise the
prices to customers. It is stated that
Ion the first day of May the Milk
Dealers Union will take steps to again
reduce the price of the milk to five
'eents quart. *
While the milk dealers have raised
the price of this commodity there has.
been a quiet little battle started in
which Kenosha is the battle ground
and in which the beef packers trust
is being attacked. For many years
the beef trust has dictated the prices
that Kenosha peop1ei are to pay for
beef, but struggle has started which
may result in beef being given away
IN Kenosha before the end of the
winter months.
One dealer in the city has broken
away from the control of the trust and
has dared to purchase his meat of in
dependent concerns. By so buying it
is discovered that he can sell meat to
the people of the city at rate two or
three cents below the prices charged
by the trust houses. Round steak has
been reduced to fen cents a pound and
the best cuts of sir1oin and porter
house have been reduced to a shilling.
These prices are from three to FIVE
cents below the prices charged in
shops dominated by the big packing
concerns. The Kenosha dealer who
has dared to reduce the price has al.
ready been threatened by the manag-
ers of the trust, and one of them de-
clared that he would ship meat into
Kenosha without money and without
price if the fight against the trust
control was continued.
Kenosha people are willing to pay
fair price for their meats but they will
certainly rejoice in the fact that this
one man has thrown defiance to the
beef trust and it is hoped that he will
be able to keep up the fight until the
other shops in the city will be forced
to leave their allegiance to the trust
and join with the independent pack
ing houses in giving the people good
meat at a fair price.
