DEATH OF f. W.LYMAN.
Pioneer Resident Of Kenosha
Died at His Winter Home at
Georgiana, Florida.
DEATH ENDS USEFUL CAREER


frederick w. Lyman, who came to
Kenosha sixty-two years ago, died at
his winter home in Georgiana, F1ori-
da, Tuesday afternoon, May End.
The deceased was just past 88 years
Of age. He was born in Goshen,
Hampshire county, Massachusetts, on
the 31st of March, 1917 He was rear
ed on typical, rock-ribbed New Eng
land farm. Losing his father when a
mere child, he early became the main
stay of his widowed mother and her
family of little children.
He received his schooling in the
red school house" at the crossroads,
supplemented by one term at the
ACADEMY at Shelburne Falls, not
far from his birthplace. He was edu-
eating himself constantly, almost to
the last day of his life. He was a
constant and versatile reader and was,
therefore, we11-informed on current
and vital religious, sociological and
economic subjects. He had two favor
ite topics, (some might disparaging1y
call them hobbies or fads) ''The
Simple Life" and Tariff Reform"
Within a few weeks, having read
Theodore Roosevelt's address advo-
eating the large family, Mr.. Lyman
wrote a personal letter to the Presi-
dent, telling him that because of the
greatly enhanced prices of the neces-
saries of life, incident to the high
prohibitory tariff, it was impossible
for people of moderate income to rear
a large family, giving them proper
food, apparel and education.
His was living exemplifcation of
'"The simple life' many years before
Wagner wrote his book. All the time
he enjoyed life to the utmost. His in
terest in nature, in advanced horti-
culture, in civic reform, in purity in
politics, endured to the very end.
Mr.. Lyman came to Kenosha (then
Southport) on the steamer General
Wayne, around the lakes from Buff
falo on the 18th of June, 1843. Among
his fellow passengers were z. g.
Simmons and Rouse Simmons.
The acquaintance and lifelong friend
ship of these pioneers began on this
journey.
Mr.. Lyman was for many years a
member of the school board in the
pioBeer days when it required nerve
and patience and backbone to foster
and promote the free school system.
He was for several successive terms
the coadjutor of Daniel G. Burgess
and ]. V. Quarles, ST., when a board
Of three members managed the affairs
Of the county.
On the 9Th day of February 1874,
Mr.. Lyman was married to Sarah
Worthington Naramore, also of
Goshen, who preceded him to the I'M
known world on the 9Th day of Sep
TENDER 1893, but few months before
their golden wedding anniversary.
Five children were born to them,
three of whom, together with thirteen
grandchildren and one great-grand
son, survive.
1t is thought that definite announce
ment of the funeral may be made to-
morrow.

THERE is a good deal of mystery
about the men who are backing the
project4to build a trolley line between
this city and Lake Geneva, but if they
prove to be financially responsible
they will have few difficulties placed
in their way in Kenosha county and
city. The merchants and business
men of the city especially are anxious
to see the line built, and the action of
the council in appointing special
committee to treat with the promoters
of the road in regard to the franchise
which it will be necessary for the
road to have in order to get into the
business district of Kenosha, shows
that the mayor and aldermen are
ready to meet the promoters half way.
The council would never think Of
granting any franchise on the terms
at first proposed by the Park City
Electric Railway company, as that
part of the western road within the
limits of the city is te-be called, but il
the council committee and the pro
motors of the road can get togethel
upon any proposition that is fair t.
both sides, there is every indication
that such a proposition would b
favorably considered by the council

Lake Shore League Team Defeats
Union Giants While Regu-
lars WalIop Zimmermans
GIANTS HIT sox PITCHER
Fiene of Chicago is Hard Hit by co1ored
Batters-Cumiskey Makes Good
Showing in His First
Game at Central.

There were two Kenosha victories
on the base ball diamonds yesterday
for while the Lake Shore league team,
was winning a rather doubtful adj
vantage over the Union Giants Of
Chicago, at the new park, the Regu-
lars out at Central Park were wal.op-
ing the Zimmermans of the Mi1wau-
kee City league. More than 1000
people braved the cold winds and
turned out to witness the two games.
The Union Giants made their last
appearance in the north for the sea-
son and they came to Kenosha with
the avowed purpose of wiping out the
defeat of week ago and came near
carrying out the threat. The game at
the new park was gift to the Keno
sha team, as ten runs in one inning
made the victory possible. Louis
Fiene, the new pitcher for the Chica-
go American league team, had been
farmed out to the Kenosha team for
the day and the Giants took kindly to
his curves and hit the ball for a total
of thirteen hits. In the seventh in
ming the hits came SO regular that
Fiene was retired from the box and
Knipp1e, who plays first base, was
substituted.
Kenosha won the game in the fourth
inning when two men singled and a
third got a base on balls. Then
O'Rourke sent out two Dagger and
the colored men went straight up IN
the air and everybody scored. This
started comedy of errors and be-
fore the curtain was rung down on
the comedy the Kenosha team had
landed ten runs. The Kenosha play
ers did not score again during the
game. With this handicap against
them the co1ored boys made great
uphill fight for the game, and steadi-
1y piled up runs during the next three
or four innings, so that at the end of
the ninth they we're within but one
run of a tie.
The game ended with a score of 10
to 9 in favor of the local team. The
crowd at the game was almost dup1i-
cate of the crowd on the opening Sun
day and 1,400 people paid admission
to witness the game. The score fol-

NEW PETITION OUT.
Business Men Put the Transfer Cues
tion to Railway Company.


ton to Railway Company.
A new petition bearing OF the fran
chise question, and addressed to the
Kenosha Electric Railway company
and its president, B. J. Arnold, is be-
ing circulated among the business
men of the city today. The petition
puts the franchise question up to the
company in strong light.
In it it is stated that the position
assumed by the company in regard to
transfers is wholly unwarranted and
not IN accord with the provisions OF
the franchise ordinance. 1t says that
the attitude of the company in this
matter is injurious to the business in
terests of Kenosha and to the inter
ests of the company, and that an i'm
mediate settlement is vital for the
welfare of the company.
Lastly the business men insist"
that the company at once issue
transfers to the passengers. It is
stated in the petition that the senti-
ment of the petition represents the
sentiment of 95 per cent of the people
of Kenosha.

Regulars win at Central Park.

Manager Hermann and his colts
had little trouble defeating the Zim-
mermans, the leaders of the Milwau-
kee City league at Central and from
the start there was no doubt as to the
outcome of the game. The visiting
team was outc1assed and the Kenosha
boys put up an almost error1ess game.
Eddie Cumiskey, the young Kenosha
pitcher, made his first appearance for
the year, and held the Milwaukee
batters down to five hits and struck
out five men. He had perfect support
from the felders.

JUST because the city authorities
permitted him to equip his line with
old Coney Island cast off cars, instead
of the new rolling stock required by
the franchise, Nj. Arnold must not
think that they are willing to waive
all the rights of the public under the
ordinance. The people are willing to
ride in these second hand cars for a
while longer without too much kick
ing, but they do not propose to pay
double fare for the privilege.

Now is the time to make a general
roundup of all the dogs in the city IN
order that the vagrant ours may be
destroyed before the warm weather
comes on. We want to get through
this summer without hydrophobia
scare, if possible, and the indications
are that the official dog catcher could
reduce the canine population of the
city considerably if the list of licensed
dogs was carefully checked up this
spring.

THE city can add a considerable
area to her park system at little ex-
pense by the improvement of the
north end of Eiche1man park, and
there is nothing the city could do
with the few dollars that this work
would cost that would give so much
pleasure and benefit to such large
number of people. The rapidly in
creasilg population of the city reeds
more breathing places on the lake
front.
