FINE FOR WANTION.

Fin1ander Arrested for Stabbing Man
Fined for Assault and Battery.
The hearing of the case of the state
of Wisconsin against Otto Wantion, a
Finlander who was charged with stab
bling Ado1ph Morsch, near the Rhode
tavern, two weeks ago, came to sud-
den termination in Justice McCarron' S
court on Thursday afternoon when
the district attorney de cided to change
the charge against Wantion to one of
assault and battery. To this charge
Wantion entered plea of guilty and
was fined $50 and the costs of the ac-
ton. Wantion had been arrested on
a charge of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. He managed to
establish a pretty good case of self
defense, but he preferred to pay the
fine rather than to wait trial on the
more serious charge at the September
term of court.

AFTER THEIR MONEY
Creditors Of Grace Shell Coffin
Reopen Bankruptcy Pro-
ceedings in Milwaukee.
NEW ASSETS DISCOVERED

Judge Quarles of the United States
court at Milwaukee has ordered the
bankruptcy case of Grace SMELL Coffin
Walker Coffin etc. reopened, and at
torneys consequently appeared before
Charles H. Lee of Racine Friday after
noon for the purpose of making argu-
ments in the case. This has been one
of the longest drawn out 1itigations
in the history of Racine county, hav-
ing been started before Mr.. Lee in
December, 1901, and continuing for
three years, when it was returned to
Judge Seaman of Milwaukee, who
subsequently discharged the defen-
dant of her debts.
A. ]. Stone of Chicago, who is one
of the creditors of the estate, appear
ed before Judge Quarles recently and
asked that the case be reopened, stat
ing that he represented all of the other
creditors of the defendant in the
bankruptcy proceedings, the total
amount of claims begin about $4,000.
Since the case was closed in 1904 the
creditors claim that assets to the value
of 100000 have been discovered, and
they wish to have new trustee APP
pointed and the matter opened for the
second time.
It was learned Friday that w. H.
Carpenter, who acted as trustee in the
me- tier during the three years that it
hung in the local court, was unable
to find any assets which could be
seized to satisfy the claims. Accord
ing to an attorney who followed the
case very closely during this long
period, nothing will come of the new
proceedings, as there is no property
in the possession of the defendant
which can be converted into cash and
applied to her Indebtedness. During
all of the years the case was pending
there were stories afoat in regard to
large amount of real estate which
was owned by her, but there was no
legal mention of the fact made before
the referee and the case had to be sent
back to Milwaukee and the bankrupt
discharged.
Inc ueIenQant owned hne home
stead in Kenosha county, but this
could not be seized and sold. Another
piece of property was discovered
which is said to have been valued at
$4,000. The records were closely
scrutinized and it was found that the
defendant had placed mortgage of
$12, 500 on the same. When this was
learned there was no further move
made, as it was out of the question to
get anything for the creditors out of
that. w. H. Carpenter, the trustee,
made diligent search for other
property, but was unsuccessful. It
was said that the defendant was the
heir to a large estate left by her
father, the millionaire who was
murdered in his home at Chicago, but
nothing official could he learned.

Having been sworn, Mr.. Cramer
promptly paid over the money without

were not some way by which they
might evade the five days limit.

groom. 81 won't pay that.
Mr.. Cramer discussed at great
length the expenses of securing

silently awaited the autcome. Finally
the decree was handed down that the
five days must pass before the cere-
mony, thereby saving 50 for the flu
ture household.

Chief Of Fire Department Offers a
Written Resignation to the
Mayor and Committee
COMMITTEE DOESN'T ACCEPT
Fire Chief Is Planning to Go Into other
Lines of Business, and Fears His
Time Will Not Permit of
Any Further Service

| James S. Barr, the popular chief Of
the Kenosha FIRE department, has ten
dered a written resignation to the FIRE
department committee of the city
council, but that committee has de-
clined to present the resignation to
the council. In fact, the chairman Of
the committee even refused to accept
the resignation, and urged Chief Barr
to reconsider the matter. Mayor
James German was present when the
resignation was offered to Alderman
Scho1ey, the chairman Of the commit
tee, and he Joined with the members
of the committee in urging the chief
to take no action at the present time
at least. The matter was informally
discussed at the meeting of the fire
and police commission on Wednes-
day afternoon, but the fire chief did
not present his resignation in writing
to the commission at that time. It is
stated that the resignation, if Chief
Barr finds that it is absolutely neces-
sary for him to withdraw from the
employ of the city, should be first
submitted to the police and fire COM
mission, and if that body sees fit to
accept it, the council would be called
upon to ratify it's action and to confirm
the appointment of a new chief.
Since Mr.. Barr sold out his interest in
the Barr & Brister blacksmith shop
he has insisted that he desired to be
freed from the duties incumbent upon
him as fire chief, and it is probable
that he will insist on the city council
and the police and fire commission ac-
cepting the resignation before the end
presentation of his resignation Chief
Barr has given out statement that
he is planning to go into another line
of business, and he fears that his time
will be so taken up by his business
that he will be unable to give tie de-
partment the care that he has given it
in other years. The members of the
council and the commission seem to
be willing to allow the chief foreman
IN Office and give what time he can to
the work. It has been suggested that
if Chief Barr finds that he cannot hold
the Office as in the past, that an as
sistant chief be appointed to aid him
with the work, and in this way he
could remain the head of the depart
ment and direct it without having the
burden of the work upon him.
Members of the police and fire COM
mission have not considered any
names in connection with the possible
vacancy, but members of the depart
ment have suggested the name of
Henry Isermann of the central sta
ton. Mr.. Isermann has been con-
nected with the department for many
years and has been most efficient
official. He has been next in authority
to Mr.. Barr for some time, and has
proved his worth as a fire fighter.
Some of the members of the commits
sion have suggested that it might be
good plan to refer the matter to the
whole fire department, and allow the
members to select the man who will
direct their movements. There is no
doubt that if the matter was submitted
to the department Chief Barr would
receive unanimous vote.

The fire department was called out
on Thursday afternoon on account of
a small blaze in the rear of the
Pennefeather property on Main

from boys who had been playing in
the barn and it is supposed that they
had lighted matches and thrown them
into the hay and other infamable
material. The department extinguish-
ed the blaze and the loss will be a
small one. For time the fire looked
like dangerous one and Main street
business houses were menaced by
the flames.

DEATH TAKEN AS AN
OMEN OF VICTORY

Madison, Wis. Sept. Interpretations follow
ers Of the University Of Wisconsin football team
declare that good fortune in the coming schedule
of games will be on the side Of Wisconsin, be-
cause the live badger, which the mascot Of
the badger university athletic teams, is dead.
The animal died Of starvation and lack Of
care in the Wisconsin gymnasium. This is the
third animal of its race that was supposed to
bring good luck to the badger athletes, but 1t Is
agreed here that they never brought any other
than the worst of luck. for they persisted in dig
ging holes in front Of the grandstand, deter
mined to hide themselves That bad luck on the
field was sure when the badger succeeded in hid
ing himself in his self-digged hole is a fact
vouched for by fans who claim to have watched
carefully, and who cite particular athletic disas-
tiers as being caused by the digging Of the
badger.
The belief in the bad effect Of the always dig
ging badger Is firmly established here that the
announcement Of the mascots death is gladly re-
ceiyed.
