ICE HARVEST LATE
Weather Man Asleep at the Switch
and no Ice Has Been Cut
in the County
MAY RESULT in HIGH PRICES

According to John T. McCutcheon,
of Chicago, the weather man is asleep
at the switch and his failure to turn
on the winter weather is having de-
cided effect on the ice industries in
Kenosha county as not a single pound
of. ice has been cut as yet and it is
probable that none will be cut until
after the opening of the new year
For the past three weeks the big ice
companies have had men employed to
work on the Kenosha lakes but there
is no ice to cut. The lakes are frozen
over with thin layer Of ice less than
three inches in thickness and it is
claimed that ice of this thickness
would be of little or no value to the
ice men. Last year on Christmas day
hundreds of tons of ice had been cut
and the houses of the big Chicago
companies in Chicago and other
cities had already been filled. The
managers of the companies are fear
full that the late winter will result in
an ice famine next year as it will be
almost impossible for the men en-
p1oyed to cut ice enough to fill all of
the houses in the few months of win
ter after the close Of the holiday
season. The late winter also brings
large loss to the railway companies
as not car of ice is being shipped.
At this time last year from ten to a
hundred cars of ice were handled
out of this county daily.
Several of the large houses owned
by the Knickerbocker company on
Camp Lake have been repaired and
remode1ed and the company had
planned to put up more ice in this
county than ever before. However
-tke company is now being forced to
ship ice from the extreme northern
states in order to supply the demand
in Chicago and it is declared that
every pound of ice sold in Chicago is
sold at loss by the company.
The real trouble will come next
season when, if there is shortage in
the crop as now seems evident, the
price to the consumer will soar to a
high point.

nosha survivor of the war has been
named for place on the staff of the
grand commander. The duties for
Colonel Hale will not be wearisome as
he will only be expected to appear at
the next reunion of the Grand Army
and ride in tinsel and gold at the
head of the procession.
In making his appointments Grand
Commander Tanner included Grand
Army men in every state and territory
in the union. Fourteen aids were
named from Wisconsin, but Mr.. Hale
was the only one from this section of
the state.
It is generally believed that the APP
pointment Of Colonel Hale is given as
recognition of the Kenosha post.
Through the agency of z. G.. Sim
mons, the Kenosha post has taken an
important part in national organiza-
tons of veterans during the past few
years. The act of Mr.. Simmons in
presenting each of the veterans at
the Denver meeting with medal and
his large gift to the Stevenson fund
has done much TO bring Kenosha into
prominence in the National Grand
Army organization,

THE boil is sign of hope, though
an uncomfortable one. Yet we incline
to hide this evidence Of cleansing,
perhaps because it is also evidence of
a former lack of cleaning. Every boil,
our fathers used to tell us, is worth
$40 to its possessor. The Burton boil,
the Mitchell boil, the life insurance
boil ali have their value as signs Of
promise to the body social, but they
also suggest former 1axness and cor
ruption that fairly subject us to deep
humiliation while yet conveying the
assurance of healthier future condi-

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF

The Sheboygan Light, Power and
Railway completed the purchase Of
Elkhart interurban line and the light
ing plant in that city and will i'm
mediate1y begin plans to run a line
from Plymouth to Elkhart lake. It is
expected the line will be in running
order for the opening of the summer
season.
The city council has ordered the
Washburn Electric Light and Power
company to resume the lighting Of
their street lamps after being IN dark
ness since the first of October. The
company had contract with the city
for the past fifteen years, for which it
was paid $11.24 per light for every
month, but this was thought to be ex-
|cessive. The lights are now being
run on the midnight schedule at $3.50
per month.

Chicago & Milwaukee Railway
Company Meets Opposition in
Fight for Station Site
FOREMAN WAS ARRESTED
Clyde Hayford in Charge of Work for
the Company is Charged With
Trespass by The Montgomery
Lumber Company yss

The Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway company met with stubborn
resistance Tuesday afternoon, when
the workmen of the company started
to take possession of the land adioin-
ing the station on Elizabeth street.
AS a result Of this resistance CLYDE
Hayford, the foreman of the gang of
men was arrested on charge. of
trespass, at the demand of the as
sistant secretary of the Montgomery
Lumber company. The case was
continued until tomorrow and at that
time it is stated that a further con-
tinuance will be taken in order to give
the parties chance to arrange for a
settlement of the matter out of the
courts.
The conditions bringing about the
fight are unusual. The property is
claimed by the Montgomery Lumber
company and also by the Railway
company. Under a quit claim deed
from the Kenosha Realty company,
the Railway company has title to the
land, but the Lumber company has a
title in equity based on a land con-
tracs given by the Realty company
some months ago.
In the month of August when it be-
came necessary for the Montgomery
company to look for new site for
lumber yards, the company secured by
land contract five acres of land froat-
ing on Elizabeth street near the city
limits. The railway was bnilt1to the
west of this tract of land aand the
company at once decided that this
would make q splendid location for a
depot and yards of the company. In
order to secure the property the Rail-
way company secured quit claim
deed from the Realty company sex-
pecting to find al way out OF the. land
contract. However, when the matter
came up it was found that the Lumber
company did not desire to dispose of
it's holdings at any price as the land
was admir- arab1y suited for uses ias a
lumber yard. hu.
On Tuesday afternoon the work
men of the railway company are
alleged to have entered the property
by force and erected fence along the
east side Of the property and began
the work Of preparing it orsthe uses
of the company. The Lumber com
pany through its assistant secretary
at once caused the arrest of the fore.
man of the construction crew and In.
this way the matter was brought into
court.
Injunctions had been prepared to
stop any attempt on the part of 1.-THE
company to take further possession
of the land, but President Frost
aske ed that no injunctions be issued
and stated that he had ordered all
work stopped until the matter could
be Investigated, and, if possible, set
tied out of court. The attorneys for
the company hold that the railway
company can condemn the land for
railway purposes, but it is not thought
that such step will be taken. It is
understood that the lumber company
is ready to sell the land if a piece of
ground suitably located can be Sc
cured in place of it.

The earnings of the sections of the
road already completed have given
the owners of the Chicago & Milwau-
kee electric railway every incentive to
make further extensions as soon as
possible and there will be no delay in
building to the north if the company
c&n avoid it. 1t is likely too that the
local line will be extended and the
people in the south end of the city,
who have been waiting a long time
for transportation privileges, will be
given a chance to ride.

NOW A COLONEL
Well Known Kenosha Veteran of
the Civil War on the Staff of
Grand Commander Tanner


George Hale, collector of customs
Tor the port OF Kenosha, and a we'll
known Main street grocer has
struggled along since the close of the
civil war with the title of simple
captain, but in the future he will be
known as Colonel Hale'' for this
morning he received an official order
from Corporal James Tanner, the
Grand Commander OF the Grand Army
of the Republic notifying him that he
had been named as an aide de camp
to the leading officer of the great
organization of veterans. The honor
was entirely unsought by Mr.. Hale
and for this reason it is doubly pleas
ing to him.
It has been many years since a Ke-

The splendid showing made by the
annual report of the street railway
company shows how valuable the
property has become and something
of wha. the right to use the streets of
the city is worth to the corporation.
The council should have no further
trouble with the company in making
it live up to the terms of it's franchise
and we do not believe that it is going
to have any. If it fu1fil1s every
obligation of it's franchise to the let
ter the company is making compare
lively small return for the privileges
it enjoys in the use of the streets.
While there is no use in opening old
wounds in referring to things that
are past and done with, we wish there
was some way Of telling how much Of
that $4,000 increase in the receipts
of the company was brought into the
treasury by the refusal of the COM
pany to issue transfers and holding
up certain percentage of it's patrons
for double fares. The extra nickels
that the company asked in this way
must have amounted to quite a sum
in the course of a year.

McNIORoLs MUST COME
Supreme Court of Illinois Refuses to
Issue Writ of Habeas Corpus

Issue a Writ of Habeas Corpus
John McNichols, the alleged Chi
cago pickpocket, who is wanted in
this city on charge of robbing Thos.
Hansen on the afternoon Of Sept. 80,
must come to Kenosha for trial. In
the supreme court of Illinois this
morning, the court refused to issue a
writ of habeas corpus for McNichols
and it is not thought that any course
is open to him, but to come to Keno
sha. The arguments in the case were
presented to the supreme court at
Springfield on Tuesday and although
the Kenosha officials had little hope
of landing the man, the supreme
court handed down a surprise this
morning in refusing to issue the writ.
A telephone message from District
Attorney Baker, who is now in Chi
cago, states that the attorneys for
McNichols have declared that they
will take the caset the United States
Supreme court tomorrow, and they
are now seeking supersedas to pre-.
vent McNichols being taken out Of
Chicago.
For this reason it is probable that
McNicho1s will not start for Kenosha
until tomorrow, and if the attorneys
make their bluff good and take the
case to the United States supreme
court for review it may be months be-
fore the matter is considered.

SEEKS BIG TRACT
A. B. Grover, of Indianapolis, Would
Add New Subdivision to City

AOU 1<GW SUBDIVISION TO lily
A. B. Grover, of Indianapolis, who
classes himself as real estate spec
ia1ist, has been in Kenosha during
the past week seeking to purchase
large tract of land near the city with
the view of subdividing it and placing
it on the market. Grover is somewhat
famous as dealer in town lots, and
it is claimed that he has opened sub
divisions in more than forty leading
cities of the middle states. He is the
original fifty cents week lot man,
and he is said to have anassed a for
tune in this line of work. Grover
stated while in Kenosha that he de-
sired to secure tract of land contain-
ing about fifty acres and within few
rods of the city limits. His plan is to
take the land and subdivide it, and
complete the work by building roads
and sewers. Grover has secured
tracts in some cities where he has
paved all of the streets in the subdi-
vision before placing them on the
market.
At the present time there are a
good many building lots on the mar
ket in and about Kenosha, but it is
possible that Grover would be able to
make a success of a subdivision Of
fered on the low rate payment plan.

to pay for the paving. In any event
