Wounds, Bruises and Burns.
BY applying an antlseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before inflammation

August Rather of This City Net
Awful Death at Burlington,
Iowa, on June 9Th.
ENT0MBED IN SEWER TRENCH
Had Been Working in Burlington Only
a Short Time When the Accident
Observation-Disclosures Here Learn
of His Awful Fate.

Chief of Police F. w. Reinold this
morning received letter from the
police department, at Burlington,
Iowa, giving the details of an ac-
.cident which resulted in the death of
August Rather Kenosha man in the
Iowa city on the afternoon of June 6.
Rather met horrible death being
buried alive under six feet of earth
in sewer trench. The man was
dead when removed from the trench.
Rather was former employee of
the Allen tannery in this city but
some time ago he left Kenosha and
went to Burlington, Iowa, to accept a
position asa day laborer with the
Burlington Construction company.
The company has the contract for the
construction of a new sewer system
in Burlington and Rather was at
work on this job. Together with a
companion he was working at the
bottom of a sewer trench more than
twelve feet in depth when the sides
OF the trench caved in and the two
men were buried under the loose earth.
The cries of the men for. aid were
heard by the other men near the
trench and as soon as possible they
began the work of rescning them.
The companion of Rather was found
buried under two feet of earth and he
was taken out alive. Rather was
buried under six feet of dirt and when
the dirt had been removed Rather had
snothered. Every possible effort was
made to revive the man but physicians
who we're called declared at the
coroner'sinquest that Rather had died
some time before the rescue party
reached him. The coroner's jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death.
The remains of Rather were inferred
in the cemetery at Burlington on last
Sunday.
The deceased was twenty-six years
of age and Was nephew of August
Keuck who resides on Strong street.
He was native of Germany and his
parents and other members of the
family are still residing there. He
resided in Kenosha for many years
and was employed during this time at
the Allen tannery.

WORKED In RACINE
Joseph Hansen who Attempted to
Pass q Forged Check Here
Was Also in Racine.
MAY BE AN EXPERT FoRCER

Ihe mystery surrounding the ac-
tiCus of John Hanson, who attempted
to pass forged check on the Jones
Clothing house in this city on last
Saturday evening, is being cleared up
and it is discovered today that the
man also worked lin Racine on Satur-
day night, and that he managed to
get away with small amount on the
same game that failed to work here.
In Racine Hansen went to restau-
rant and stated that he was in hurry
to get to Kenosha and that he had a
check which had been given to him
by his employer, William Piper. On
these presentations he secured a
meal ticket at the restaurant. Mel
son, the proprietor of the restaurant
victimized, did not have money
enough in his safe to cash the check
meal ticket on the following day, took
the car for Kenosha and went at once
to the Jones Clothing house where he
made an effort to get the check
cashed. Jones retained the check,
but on Sunday morning Hansen
showed up at Racine with another
and similar check. The restaurant
had not as yet secured funds enough
to cash the check, but an accommo-
dating waiter allowed Hansen $40 on
account aud took the bogus check.
With this money Hansen took the
first train for Milwaukee.
It is thought that the man is an ex-
pert forger, and that he has secured a
supply of bank checks in some man
ner and is making hay while the sun
shines. All of the checks have been
declared forgeries, and> it is said that
Hansen is not known at the Piper
farm. The Kenosha officials are
keeping close lookout for the fellow
but it is hardly probable that he will
return to this city.

GUN DIDN'T GO OFF
G. Petraciu, an italian, Has Mar
row Escape From Being
Killed on Sunday II
PETRACIU SAYS PLOT EXISTS

G. Petraciu, an Italian living at No.
5S4 Jenne street, had the narrowest
escape from death reported in many
weeks Sunday evening, when revolt
YER In the hands of another Italian,
supposed to have been Joe Blast,
was pressed to the side of his head
and the trigger pulled. The revolver
seems to have been an old one and it
failed to explode. By the time the
man was ready to pull the trigger
again friends of Petraciu had inter-
tered and he was rescued from his
danger. The Italian at once reported
the matter to the police, claiming
that conspiracy had been made to
kill him. AS a result of the investi-
cation Frank Blast was arrested by
Officer Hansen last night, and Joe
Blast, his brother, gave himself up to
the police this afternoon. The men
are having hearing this afternoon,
but the case has not as yet been de-
termined According to the story
told to the police, the two Blast broth
ers had threatened the life of Petraciu,
and on Sunday evening at gathering
of Italians at Petraciu's home they
had started to carry out their threats.
1t is alleged that Frank had the kEife
and Joe the revolver. The scene was
a tragic one when Joe slipped up be-
hind Petraciu and pointed the revo1-
yer at his head and snapped the trig-
ger. 1t is now alleged that Blast
knew that the revolver would not ex-
p1ode, but the police fail to take this
view of the matter. The incident
caused the widest excitement in the
Italian quarter back of the freight
depot, and it is claimed that hun
dreds of people were gathered about
the house when Officer Hansen made
the arrest of Frank Blast.
The two men claim that they are In
nocent of any wrongdoing, but it is
probable that they will be held on a
charge of pointing dangerous
weapon at Petraciu.

EARLY in the session the senate
passed bill repeating the law pro-
viding for the publication of insur-
ance statements, Insurance Commits
siouer Host having admitted that the
law was useless, and that the print
ing graft was simply regarded as one
of the perquisites of his Office. The
assembly promptly pigeonholed the
law, however, and substituted meas
ure designed to increase the graft
instead of diminishing it. The as
semb1y bill takes the disposition of
the patronage away from the commits
sioner of insurance, where it properly
belongs if it belongs anywhere, and
gives it to the commissioners of print
ing. No limit is placed on the amount
the papers may charge the companies,
and if the bill goes through the
amounts the insurance companies are
forced to pay will be larger than ever.
The assembly bill is clear case of
graft and it ought to be killed.

The counties in the state that have
been making an honest effort to carry
out the full value assessment law,
hope to see the state board of equali-
zation sit down hard on the counties
that have evaded paying their fair
share of general taxes by making
thir assessments on the old forty per
cent basis, the next time there is a
chance to get at them. In certain
quarters there is very evident desire
to make d farce Of the law as itlstands,
and unless these delinquent counties
are forced to bring their assessments
up to full valuation, the assessment
all over the state will soon slip back
to the old level
