Cornelius McKune is Sent to
Waupun Prison for a Term
of Twelve Years
PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE

Cornelius McKune, the former Ke-
nosha man who was arrested in Ra-
cine a month ago on a charge of at
tempting to murder Miss Dorothy
Nelson, was taken to the State prison
at Waupun this morning to begin his
service of sentence of twelve years
imposed upon him by Judge Smieding
in the municipal court at Racine on
Saturday.
McKune was arraigned on a charge
of attempted murder and pleaded
guilty to the charge. In se1f-defense
he urged nothing save the fact that
he was SO completely under the con-
troll of liquor that he did not known
what he was doing. His wife and
parents and sisters appeared with
him in court and all were greatly
moved by the sentence. Miss Nelson
is now recovering but she was not
able to be in court and her presence
was not demanded as McKune had
told the district attorney that he
would enter a plea of guilty to the
charges against him.
After he had been taken back to
the jail McKune gave to the press the
following signed statement in regard
to the shooting ARRAY.
To the Public-To make a few wise
ones wise and to put few facts into
the ears of those who wish to be in

perfect lady and in no way to blame

John H. Heating Killed at the
Elizabeth Street Crossing
Late Saturday Night.
BODY HURLED MANY FEET
Fatal Accident was not Discovered
Until Sunday Morning When the
Remains Were Found Over a
Hundred Feet From Crossing

John H. Heating, painter and a
man we'll known about town met in
slant and awful death on the tracks
of the North Western railway near
the Elizabeth street crossing Satur-
day night. He was struck by the
North bound passenger train due to
arrive in Kenosha at 11:40 but the
accident was not discovered until
O'Clock Sunday morning when his
mangled and lifeless remains were
found in little c1ump of grass more
than a hundred and forty feet from
the crossing. Coroner Robinson start
ed an inquest over the remains this
morning but the hearing was adjourn
ed until four O'Clock this afternoon.
The details of the accident will
probably never be known as the train
crew in charge of the train failed to
notice the accident and it was not
known what train had struck Heating
until after the remains were found.
The company started an investigation
and it was found that the prov of the
engine which pulled this train was
covered with blood.
The remains of Heating were found
at 7 O'Clock Sunday morning by A.
Johnson an employee of the Chicago
Brass works. They were partially
buried by the high grass along the
tracks used as switch track for the
Chicago Brass company. Nearly
every bone in the body was broken
"a the remains were terribly
mang1e6. There is no doubt but that
Heating met instant death.
Heating had been employed at the
Peter Pirsch Wagon shop as painter
and he had returned to his home on
Fremont avenue just after z o'clock
Saturday evening. He went to his
room stating that he was going to
change his clothes and then go out
for the evening. The members of
the family did not hear him go out
for the night and they were not aware
that he had left the house until they
were notified of the finding of the
body.
Just before the fatal accident Dan
McLennan and Heating had been
sitting on the porch in front of the
Brassvi11e house and just after half
past eleven o. clock McLennan stated
that he was going upstairs to bed and
Heating started for his home a few
blocks distant. He was seen walking
near the tracks just before the train
arrived and it is supposed that he was
caught when attempting to cross the
tracks. At the time the accident
must have occurred the engineer and
fireman we're at work in the cab of the
engine banking up the fire in order to
secure power for pulling out of the
Kenosha station and neither of them
saw Heating meet his awful fate.
John H. Heating was son of the
late John Heating one of the pioneer
residents of the city. He was born
and raised in Kenosha and was we'll
known. He was IS years of age and
unmarried. He is survived by three
brothers and two sisters.

MeiseIbach Factory to be Re-
opened in a Month With Large
Number of New Employees
NEW COMPANY IN CONTROL
Stock of 100000 and Will Put
More Than 200 Men at
Work in Month

The A. D. Meiselbach plant, which
has been idle for more than year, is
to resume operations, and if the plans
are carried out before the winter
opens, the factory will be one of the
busiest places in the city.
The plant is now owned and oper-
ated by the Visible Typewriter Com
pany. Milwaukee organization re-
Gently incorporated under the Wis
consin laws. The plant will be used
for the manufacture of typewriters,
but the old Meiselbach model has
been abandoned and an entirely new
model is to be placed on the market.
Men are being added to the force as
fast as they can be secured, and the
manager of the plant insists that
within month the company will put
100 men on the pay roll, and that as
soon as the factory is in good working
order the company will employ from
200 to 800 men.
The model of the new machine has
been completed and it is expected that
the company will begin the work of
filling orders before the middle of
October. The machine contains all
of the best features of the old ma
chine, but it is a great Improvement
and promises to meet the great de-
mand for popular priced machine.
1t is claimed that the machine will do
all the work of the 500 machines, but
it will be sold at very popular price.
The company has already booked a
large number of orders for machines,
and these orders will be filled as soon
as the machines can be turned out.
The new company in charge of the
plant is known as "The Visible
Typewriter Manufacturing Com
pany." It was incorporated under
the Wisconsin laws month ago, the
capital stock being $500, 900. The Off
GERS of the company are: President
and General Manager, S. Wa11heim;
Vice President, E. H. Bottum, of Mil
waukee; Secretary and Treasurer,
G. E. Hughson, of Sioux City, Iowa
Manager Wal1heim was seen at the
ia Glory this morning ard stated that
the company was now advertising for
100 men to fill up the departments and
that it was expected that full force
of workmen could be put to work
within few weeks.
Manager Wa11heim refused to dis
cuss the new model, stating that he
would prefer to have the public pass
judgment on it before he made any
statements. He'stated, however, that
he was convinced that the expert
mental stage at the plant was over
and that the new model would be a
winner.
The company is now improving the
factory by the addition of new ma
chinery and by rebuilding a number
of the departments. A. D. Meise1-
bach is in no way connected with the
new company.
The affairs of the A. D. Meiselbach
Company are now being settled up,
and it is stated that the company will
pay off every cent of it's Indebted
ness.

OLD PROJECT AGAIN
Chicago, Evanston & North Shore
Railway Co. Incorporated Un-
der the Laws of Illinois
REVIVE PLANS OF CLARKE

The old plan of Alexander Clarke to
build an electric railway between Ke-
nosha and Chicago on the east side of
the tracks of the Chicago and North
Western Railway company has been
revived and Monday charter was is
sued by the secretary of state at
Springfield, ILL.,, for the Incorporation
of the Chicago, Evanston and North
Shore Railway company
This company is the one first
started by the late Alexander Clarke
and the men now in charge of it have
the ownership of the rights of way
purchased by Mr.. Clarke in this
county. The new company is incor-
porated with capital stock of S10,-
600, and its charter gives it the right
to build and operate electric railways
for the carrying of passengers and
freight. 1t is expected that the COM
pany will file similar papers in this
state within few days.
Since the death of Alexander Clarke
and Vo1ney Foster, who were the
prime movers in the plan to build this
line, the franchises and rights of way
have been largely tied up in the pro-
bate court of Cook county, but these
estates have now been settled and
the men who are in control of the
assets of the company are now ready
to proceed with the work.
Alexander Clarke was the life of
this project but it is claimed that his
work is to be carried forward by his
successors. It is claimed that the
company will build from Chicago to
Wilmette at once and that this line is
expected to be opened early in the
spring of 1906. The line may even be
rival of the Chicago and Milwaukee
as the original project was to extend
it all the way to Milwaukee.
The officers of the new company
are George C. Wilcox, Frank R.
Grover, Charles S. Graves, Benjamin
F. March and w. H. Eckhart ali resi-
dents of Chicago.
The books of the register of deeds
show that the right of way in this
county is still in the name of A1exan-
der Clarke and Vo1ney Foster but it
will probably be transferred in the
near future.

TAKES FINAL GAME
Waukegan Wins Series From Ke-
nosha by Defeating Home Team
by Score of 4 to Sunday
GR0TH'S ERRORS ARE COSTLY

The Waukegan team took the Sec
ond of the series between Kenosha
and Waukegan Sunday, when the Ke-
NJ team was defeated at the West
park in Waukegan by a score of
co /. The worst part of it all was
that the WaukegansteamIdid not have
an earned run, and the errors of the
Kenosha pitcher contributed largely
to the defeat of the home team. Groth
was in the box for Kenosha and
pitched good game, but his work in
the field was not up to his standard
and his two errors in fielding hunted
balls were largely responsible for
runs. The Waukegan players got
but four hits off Groth, and Pulse was
just as effective for Waukegan.
A crowd of over 1,500 people wit
messed the game, large number of
the fans going ..downnfrom Kenosha
to witness the contest. U Money was
pretty free beforettheFgame, and the
Kenosha boys seemyto have dropped
quite little sum as a result of the
| Waukegan victory.
In the first inning theKenosha boys
started out to win the game, and
Laabs got a base on an 'error and
promptly stole second and,then scored
on hit by Knipp1e. This'swas the
story so far as the Kenoshas team was
concerned. In the remaining innings
Kenosha never came near scoring,
most of the batters goingssss out in the
well known one, two, threesorder.
Waukegan took advantage of errors
in the second inning, and with sin.
gle hit brought mi two runs. 1t was
enough to win the game, but
in the two succeedingainnings single
hits netted one runseach, so that the
lead at the end of the fourth inning
was too large for the Kenosha boys to
overcome. The Kenosha'team played
ragged game throughout the day,
and it was a wonder that the score
was not larger.
]. Keck Wheeler, of Kenosha, off
ciated as umpire at the game and did
good job. He narrowly ESCAPED be-
| ing arrested by the big marshal of
Libertyvil1e. Wheeler hadsa.monkey
wrench and tobacco pouch in his
| hip pocket and some oness..started a
story that he was carryingaa revolver.
This was heard by the Libertyvi11e
man, and he was threatening to
''pinch" Wheeler, when Wheeler
heard of the intent, and much Of his
time during the remainder of the con-
test was given over to roasting the
minion of the law. The Libertyvil1e
man retired completely beaten in the
battle of wits.
