Relatives Of Peter Achton to Ask
for an Examination Into His
Mental Condition
SON FEARS FATHERS RETURN
Deputy Sheriff Is Forced to Place a
Guard About the House to In
sure Son That Father Will
Not Do Him Violence

It is hardly probable that Peter
Achton, arrested last Sunday night
on charge of stabbing his son, will
ever be brought to trial in this county,
as Deputy Sheriff John Mutz of Salem
was in Chicago Friday arranging
with M. Huss, the attorney for Ach-
ton, to have the man examined before
a lunacy commission in Chicago. The
papers for such an examination have
already been made out, and it is prob
able that Achton will be taken to Chi
cago for this purpose as soon as his
son is sufficiently recovered to appear
in court and give evidence against the
father.
The relatives of the accused man
have proposed this plan, and for this
reason they have refused to assist
Achton to secure anything in the way
of bail. His bail is still held at $40,-
900, and the members of the family
have stated that it would be impos-
sible for him to give this bail at this
time.
1t is the general impression that
Achton will never be brought to trial
on charge of attempted murder, as
his relatives claim that he has been
acting queer1y for some time, and his
attorney in Chicago has repeatedly
noticed signs of failing mentality.
In the meantime it is stated that the
boy who was stabbed by the father is
suffering from hysteria and fear to
such an extent that it has become
necessary for the deputy sheriff to
place guard in front of the house to
prevent the entrance of the father
should he secure bail.
The young man is slowly recovering
from his terrible injury, but he is con-
stant1y in fear that his father will re-
turn to the house and make another
attack on him.
On Thursday evening brother OF
Achton came out from Chicago to
visit at the house, and, the wounded
man hearing Achton talking in the
yard below his window, became hall
crazed with fright. He leaped out OF

Coming September Term of Cir
cult Court to be q Decidedly
Busy One for Attorneys
CRIMI NAL CASES INTERESTING
Thirty one Cases Are Noticed for Trial
and the Term May Last for Sew
era1 Weeks.-Big Array of
Attorneys Interested

Clerk of the Circuit Court Frank
Waldo today issued the annual
calendar for the September term CT
the Circuit court, and the calendar
shows that the term will be one of
the longest and most interesting ever
held in Kenosha county. In all
thirty-one cases are noticed for trial,
and it is thought that majority of
them will be ready for hearing. At
torneys from Milwaukee, Racine and
Kenosha are scheduled to appear in
the different cases.
The criminal calendar is an espec-
tally interesting one, and it appears
that there will be at least nine cases
for jury trials of criminal nature.
Added to those now scheduled it is
probable that at least one more Grim
ina1 action will be ready before the
term is over. There will be two trials
for mans1aughter and five for con-
spiracy, and these added to the Komp
cases can be counted on to take up
two weeks of the time of the jury.
The full list of cases noticed for
trial follows:

his bed and fled from the house, clad
only in his nightrobe, and ran to the
bank of the lake. Fortunately there
was son of the deputy sheriff near
the house and he managed to capture
young Achton before he had jumped
into the lake. This escapade has en-
dangered the chances of the young
mans recovery. He is now being
closely watched, and has been given
assurance that there is no possibility
Of his father making second assault
on him.
The hearing of the elder Achton is
slated to come up in the justice court
here on next Friday, and at chat time
it is possible that some arrangement
will be made to have him taken to
Chicago for an examination into his
mental condition.
Achton spends most of his time in
jail writing letters and he sends out
dozen letters daily. Most of them
are addressed to we'll known firms in
Chicago.

FOUND ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Coroner's Jury Investigates Into the
Death of Conductor Harvey

Coroner's Jury Investigates Into the
Death of Conductor Harvey
Coroner H. A. Robinson late We'd
nesday afternoon summoned a coro-
ner's jury to examine into the death
of Conductor Frank E. Harvey, who
died as result of injuries received
by falling under the train at Twin
Lakes Tuesday night. The jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death.
The main witnesses at the inquest
were the members of the train crew,
and the evidence given by them
showed that Harvey's death was
purely an accidental one.
There was some gossip about Camp
Lake that Harvey had died on account
of lack of prompt attention, but the
evidence proves that he was taken to
the hospital with ali possible speed.
The physicians in attendance deemed
that an inquest would be unneces-
sary, but the officials decided that ii
would be better to have the facts in
the case clearly established.

THE Royal Arcanum is to be con-
graduated upon the sound good sense
with which the recent threatening
situation in the order has been ham
died, and upon the spirit of fraterna1-
ism and fair dealing which has char
acterized all the deliberations of the
Supreme Council and the subordinate
lodges. The wide differences Of
opinion over the recent change IN
rates, which for time threatened to
result in great loss in membership,
even if they did not split the order,
are now thing of the past, and the
Royal Arcanum energies from its
hour of trial stronger than ever and
with more united membership.
There is lesson in this for some of
the other fraterna1 societies which
seem to be unable to keep their af-
fairs out of the courts.

KENosHA is vitality interested in a
case just brought into the courts from
Burlington. Recently majority OF
the citizens of Burlington voted in
favor of establishing municipal
electric lighting plant, but the city
has now been enjoined from proceed
ing to build the plant on the ground
that two-thirds instead of major
ity vote is necessary in the matter.
Should the court decide in favor OF
the two-thirds vote, the chances for a
municipal lighting plant in Kenosha
would be greatly reduced. A matter
of such importance to all property
owners must be submitted to vote,
and while there is little doubt but
that ma jority Of the voters of Keno.
sha would favor municipal plant, i!
is a question whether or no the op.
ponents of such plant could not Sc.
cure the one-third vote necessary tc
defeat it.

promised during the season.

DURING all the troubles of the
Equitable Insurance company the So
called mutual companies have made a
great point of "the policy holders
control" feature of their organiza-
tions. AS a matter of fact, IN these
mutual companies, all the power is
vested in the management, just as it
is in the Equitable, and they are IN
every way as close corporations as the
Equitable ever was. Their officers
vote the policy holders proxies as it
suits them best, and as they alone
have full lists of policy holders, it
would be practically impossible for
any "outsider" to get enough proxies
to GUST them.

pity that the Kenosha Street Railway

Chicago Man Stabbed by His Father
On the Way to Recovery

On the Way to Recovery
Deputy Sheriff John Mutz of Salem
was in Kenosha today, and he brought
a report from the bedside of John
Peter Achton, who was stabbed by his
father on Sunday night. This report
is to the effect that the son is out of
danger and his recovery is only a
question of time. None of the mem
bers of the Achton family have come
to Kenosha to assist the defendant in
the case, but it is stated today that he
has employed Peter Fisher to look
after his interests.

while she was out on that happy mis-.

the young man and the blow was
about to fall that will make the com.

ever known. And while Sherman, by
his persistent course of falsifying and
bringing in innocent parties and then
retracting and taking a fresh start, has
turned from him all the sympathy that
was at first felt for him in every
quarter, the profoundest and sincerest
sympathy of this entire community
goes out to the stricken mother, who
is crushed and Frustrated over the aw.

sympathy that affection can pour out

man like a benediction. Her hopes
