Action Brought by Mrs. Elizabeth
Bushmann Against City Set
tied Out of Court.
WILL RECEIVE 81, 200 DAMAGES
The City Council in Special Session
Decides to Settle the Case Rather
Than to Stand the Heavy
Expenses of a Trial.

The suit of Mrs. Elizabeth Bush
mann against the City of Kenosha,
which was to have come up for trial
IN the circuit court Tuesday, has
been dropped from the court ca1en-
Oar, as announcement is made that
the suit has been settled out Of court.
a special meeting of the council
was held last night, at which time the
aldermen decided to effect a settle
ment Of the suit by the payment of
$1,000 to the plaintiff. In considera-
ton of this payment the attorney for
Mrs. 3Bushmann must consent to pay
S25 attorney fees to an assistant city
attorney who has assisted Attorney
Slater IN preparing for the trial of the
case.
Mrs. Bushmann had asked for
SIC, OGO, and the settlement of the case
out of court is regarded as most ad-
vantageons one. Some time ago the
city council voted to allow Mrs.
Bushmann the sum of 1,25O in full
settlement of the claim, but at that
time the attorney for Mrs. Bushmann
had arranged to try the case and he
declined to accept the settlement pro-
posed by the city. The case had been
scheduled for trial at this term Of the
circuit court, but on Saturday even
ing Attorney Baker, who represented
the plaintiff, held a conference with
City Attorney Slater and offered to
make settlement of the case for the
sum of 81, 200
The attorneys for the city were
convinced that the claim of Mrs
Bushmann would not stand in the
courts, but after considering the evil
dence and the probability of having
to carry the case to the higher courts,
/ it was decided that it would be cheaper
for the city to settle the case and get
it out of the way.
The case has been before the courts
for the better part of two years. Mrs.
Bushmann, who is a wel1-known resi-
dent of West street. was injured by
falling on a slippery sidewalk in Cen
trail park in January, 1908. She was
SO severely injured by the accident
that she was confined to her home for
many months, and it is now claimed
that her injuries are permanent. 1t
was, however, claimed that the city
was not liable for her injury as the
sidewalk had been properly cleaned
and storm of s1eet had so coated the
wa ks with ice that thew were All bu+
impossible.

IN FEAR OF DEATH
Seyeres CeryiIIi, Thinking Him.
self Menaced with Assassins,
Attempts Suicide.
ORDERED SENT TO OSHKOSH

| Severes Cervi1li, an Italian 80 years
of age, was adjudicated insane in the
county court Tuesdaymorning and or
dered committed to the asylum at
Winnebago for treatment. The man
was taken in charge Monday by
Deputy Sheriff Timme, his friends
alleging that he had attempted to
commit suicide by butting his head
against the bed posts. The condition
of the man is decidedly critical
For some time the Italian had been
suffering from a melancholia, but it
was not thought that he was sufi-
GENTLY violent to warrant his being
sent to a state institution. He la
bored under the impression that he
was being pursued by band of as
sassins and feared TO go to bed at
night. Oftentimes the man would sit
up all night long watching the door of
the room in which he slept. He
scarcely ever left his room after
dark, being in deathly fear that he
would be set upon and killed.
The young man was a favorite
among the Italians in the city and for
this reason every effort had been made
to make him more at ease. During the
past week he had grown violent and
on Monday morning he insisted that
the room in which he had been sleep
ing was filed with men who we're
planning to take his life. Every effort
was made to calm the man, but finally
he leaped from the bed and began to
butt his head against the bed posts.
The one attendant at the house was
not able to pacify him so the sheriff
was notified and Cervilli was taken to
the county jail. He was still violent
after reaching the jail and it was
necessary to have him under the
watch of two, nen.

Among his spoils was handsome

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2O.- Civil
war is now raging throughout vide
circle of county in European Russia.
The Lettlsh provinces in the west,
saratoff, and neighborfng provinces In
the east. Ekaterln3lav, and adjoining
PROVINCES on the south are all ablaze
Iitl the flame Of revolution.
The insu1rectlOnlsts have resorted
to firing the property of land owners
and it is estimated that at least 1900
paIatial mansions of estate holders
rave been burned to the ground. In
RAINY cases, all the contents Of the
palaces, including valuable libraries,
catalogues and paintings have been
destroyed with the mansions. The
damage caused in this manner is estl-
mated at $1OO,OOOOOO. At present the
total number Of armed peasants who
are in open revolt against the govern
1aent may be estimated at two hundred
thousand. Against these revolution
isis the government cannot oppose
more than one hundred thousand sol
diers and many Of them are Of doubt
full loyalty.
The Cars authority has totally
ceased to exisS in The Baltic provinces
where the Let's, who number 100000
souls, are showing wonderful powers
for organization. They are now in

At a meeting Of 1,500 delegates to a

1t was also decided to form gen.

UPPER CLASS men
GIVE UP HAzLNG
SEND WORD TO FOURTH CLASS
MEMBERS THEY MAY TEs-
TIFY FREELY IN THE
INVESTIGATION.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. 2O.-Evi-
dence of the effectiveness of the board
of investigation which, by order of
Read Admiral Sands is looking into
hazlng in the Naval Academy, was
given when the members of the first
class passed the word to the fourth
class men who are being called to tes-
tify that they might tell freely all
they knew
This did not make much difference,
so far as the Investigation goes, for
the fourth class men were talking free
~ at any rate, but It indicates that
the midshipmen have given up most
cherished provision of their code
that one should suffer dismissal him,
self rather than tell on an upper class
man who hazed him.
Witnesses are being called at the
rate of about ten a day, and. as the
investigation is scheduled to last a
month the whole fourth class may be
interviewed. 1t is manifestly impos'
sible for the upper classmen to haze
all who testify, as they did in the
case Of Kimbrough, and they have
surrendered on that point. They are
also somewhat frightened by Rear
Admiral Sands prompt action in that
matter.
MIdshipman Jerdone P. Kimbrough
who was compelled to stand on his
head until unconscious, was dis
charged from the hospital Monday
He is in good spirits, and expects to
remain in the academy.
