Hans Guttormson Brings a Suit
Against United States Gov.
eminent for Large Sum
BIC DAMAGES FOR INJURIES.
Old Fight of the Kenosha Man Against
the United States Government is
Finally Brought Into Court at
Washington, ID. c.

Hans Guttormson, of this city, has
started an action in the United States
court at Washington to collect the
sum of $4,000, which he alleges is
due to him from the government for
injuries received more than twenty
years ago.
The old claim of Guttormson has
been before the officials of the govern
ment for many years, and in order to
reach some settlement of the matter
Asst. Attorney General Pratt has
asked that the suit lbe brought into
the United States court SO that it may
be finally disposed of. Calvin Stew
art of this city has been retained to
represent Guttormson, and hearing
of the case will be held before Court
Commissioner John C. Slater in this
city on next Saturday. At this time
the dispositions Of the different wit
nesses will be taken, and the matter
will be laid before the United States
court within a few weeks later.
The old claim of Guttormson has
years, and in that time it has received
the support of many of the leading
members of the United States senate
and the house of representatives.
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, is
the latest man to take up the claim of
the Kenosha man, and it was largely
through his efforts that the claim has
found it's way into the United States
court.
Two years ago Senator John c..
Spooner introduced a special bill into
the senate providing for the payment
of the claim of Guttormson, but it
was duly pigeon-ho1ed, and while the
senate agreed to pay the claim the
house failed to concur. At that time
the Kenosha man claimed but $1,000,
but the interest has brought it up to
more than $4,000.
The claim is based on personal in
juries received by Guttormson while
employed on the government works
at Rock Island, ILL.,, in 1881. At that
time he was a helper to the stone
masons who were building a large
arch for bridge. In some manner
he was struck by a falling timber, and
it is claimed that he has been dis
ab1ed ever since. Guttormson has re-
sided in Kenosha for five or six years,
and since that time he has been max
ing efforts to settle the claim, but the
settlements have not been in keeping
with the demands of Guttormson' s
attorneys.

TWO NEW STATIONS
Authorized BY the Postma ster General
for This City.

authorized by the FOSCmG SCGT OGueTaI
for This City.
Postmaster Frantz received COM
munication from the postmaster gen.
eral this morning authorizing the
opening of two new postal stations in
Kenosha on Feb. Is. These new sta
tons will have all the functions of the
post Office and will handle, money or
der and registry business and will
carry full line of postal supplies.
Station will be located at the Ollie
drug store at the corner of Park and
West Main streets while Station will
be at Charles Turnock's grocery store
at the corner of Rowland avenue and
Pomeroy street. These stations
added to the station at the Lamb drug
store on the North Side will take away
large amount of work that is now
done by the clerks in the Kenosha
post office and will to a great extent
relieve the rush of business in the
main office. The new stations will
also be a great accommodation to the
people residing in these portions of
the city.

POWER TO CONDEMN.
Electric Railways to Fight Steam
Railways for the Right Of
Eminent Domain.
THEY WILL HAVE OPPOSITION.

Another effort is to be made to gain
from this Legislature the right of emf
nent domain for the street railway
companies of the state. This is ques-
ton which has appeared before nu-
merous legislatures, and it is fight
on which the steam railways and the
electric railways have always locked
horns. So far the steam roads have
always been powerful enoughssto have
the bill killed, but it is understood
that the electric lines will make the
fight of their lives before this 1egis-
1ature to secure the passage of the bill.
Six years ago the measure would have
probably been passed had it not been
discovered that in the bill which was
pending the Milwaukee Railway and
Lighting company hoped to gain pos
session of the breathing space near
the Union station in Milwaukee known
as Fourth ward park. From the fact
that since that time the street rail
way company has begun the building
of large Car depot directly across
from the park it is suspectedjthat the
company at that time coveted the park
for depot purposes. Managerssof SUI
burban lines claim that the the grant
ing of the right of eminent domain to
electric railway companies, in the
same degree that it is enjoyed by
steam roads, is an absolute necessity
and say that until such powers are
conferred on street railway corpora
tions the extension of suburban
electric lines will be greatly hampered.
The purchase of right of way without
the right of condemnation, it lis de-
c1ared, is always costly, but this fact
they say does not compare with the
difficulties which are p1acedIin the way
of electric roads in obtaining cross
ings over steam roads. The electric
railway managers also say they do not
see why they should be denied rights
which are granted steam roads. It is
also claimed that the moment that
this right of eminent domain istgran-
ted electric roads they will become
competitors of the steam roads on
short hau1s as with an eminent domain
law, the extra burden which the law
says is imposed on the.property holder
by the hauling of trains over electric
lines can be adjusted. The electric
railway managerssc1aim with a show
of truth that the opposition of the
steam roads to the granting of full
rights of eminent domain to electric
roads is based on the fear of the COM
petition which the latter companies
will offer for short haul freight traffic,

CAPTAIN A. B. DAVIS RETIREs.
Well known Revenue officer Relieved
From Active Service.

Capt. A. B. Davis, who was engaged
in government work at the 500, has
been detached from the revenue cut
ter Morrill, and retired from active ser
vice with full pay. He is now on his
way to Havana, where he will spend
several weeks before returning to Mil
waukee, where he will make his
future home,
Capt. Davis, who is now II years of
age, and long since passed the age
limit for the revenue cutter service
provided for under an act passed by
congress April 8, 1902. He has been
in the service since 1861, and accord
ing to the bill passed that year, will
receive salary of $1,000 a year, the
same pay he received the last two
years in the service with the excep-
ton of so cents a day ration money.
Capt. Davis went to sea when only
II years of age, serving in the West
Indian and South American trade.
When 81 years of age he became a
master, his boat being the Governor
Won Oxho1m. Soon after the civil war
broke out he entered the revenue SER
vice, being first detailed lieutenant on
the schooner Varine. Later he was
transferred to the Miami on which
vessel President Lincoln made many
trips down the Potomac. In 1864 he
was promoted to a captaincy in the
revenue service.
In 1881 Capt. Davis went to Mil
waukee and took charge of the sta
ton there. He was in command of
the Andrew Johnson, but left for New
York in 1885 to take charge of the
Bear and sailed around the cape to
San Francisco. Three years later he
returned to Milwaukee. In 1893 he
was put in command Of the Gresham,
and ordered to Cuba, but on account
of his age he was taken off at Detroit.
He then was given the Morrill,, which
he brought from Philadelphia to Mil
waukee by way of the st. Lawrence
river. Recently he was assigned to
work at the ST. Mary's river.
Capt. Davis is well known in Keno
sha as he represented the government
at the unwilling of the soldiers
monument.

Praises Chinese Cooking.

A German epicure comes to the res
cue Of the Chinese in regard to their
alleged habit of eating rotten eggs.
The eggs he says, are simply pre-
served in lime until they get con-
sistency like that of hard butter and
they taste somewhat like lobster. He
declares them one Of the choices del
icacfes be has ever eaten. He thinks
there are no better cooks in the world
than the Chinese. When he went to
live among them his friends predicted
he would starve, but he had a good
time and gained weight--more than no
wanted to.

BLAMES THE RAILROAD
Zion Jury Renders Queer Verdict in
Case of Martin Hayden.

eve, the jury, find that Martin Hay
den came to his death by being struck
by south bound train at Zion City at
1885 O'Clock on January 10th and we
believe he was attempting to cross
the tracks to meetIa north bound train
due here at 12:37. We therefore hold
that the Chicago s'& Northwestern
Railroad Co. was responsible for his
death on account of the trains not
being on time as per the regular
schedule"
In substance the above represents
one of the most unusual verdicts ever
given by a Lake county Jury sworn
in to inquire:into the:.death of man.
The sense of the verdict is that the
jury endeavoredIto hold the company
liable for the mans death because a
certain train did not arrive there on
time, that had the train reached Zion
at the appointed sninute, the man
would not have been there to have
been struck by the other train.

Leading Civil Service Advocates
in This City Asked to Help
Organize State League.
IN ALL WISCONSIN CITIES.
Plans That Have Been Formed in
Milwaukee to Be Extended to
All the Cities and Counties
in the State.

The advocates of civil service re-
form in Kenosha have sheen asked to
aid in the establishment of a State
Civil Service Reform League. The
preliminary organization of q the
league has been formed in Milwaukee.
with John A. Butler, man who has
taken great interest in the work, as
chairman of the executive committee.
1t is planned to extend the workings
OF the league to every city and county
in the state and to this end the cities
IN the interior of the state are being
asked to cooperate with the Mi1wau-
kee men in bringing about the success
of the league. The following letter
has been sent to the advocates Of n1u-
nic1pal civil service in Kenosha.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Jan. 81, 1905.
My Dear Sir: AS you may have
noticed in the Milwaukee papers, we
have organized State Civil Service
Reform League in this city, and in
the election of vice presidents and
members of the executive committee,
have left the greater mber'of places
to be filled by friends of the reform
living in the interior cities. The ex-
ecutive committee, of which five mem
bers have been chosen here, has been
given authority to fill all existing va
cancies. The purpose of the organi-
cation is either to preparesabso1ute1y
non-partisan civil service bills, APP
plying the merit system to therstate
service, and to cities and counties of
this state; or to offer amendments to
existing bills if such measures appear
to be faulty or inadequate. We are
very anxious to get to work. at1once
and the first matter of Importance is
to complete the ranks of the execu-
tive committee.
Can you suggest the names of one
or more friends of the merit system in
your community irrespective of fac
ton or party who would be interested
and useful members of the committee
or vice presidents of the league?
There are seven places to fill in the
executive committee and ten vice
presidents to be elected outside of
this city, and they should represent as
many considerable cities of the state
as possible. The membership dues
are one dollar annually. The
moment l can secure printed copy of
the constitution, / will send you one,
but it is substantially like that of the
National Civil Service Reform
League. remember with great pleas
ure and appreciation the spirit in
which you assisted us some years ago
to secure the law which placed our
city service in Milwaukee on the merit
basis.
Hoping for prompt reply am
Very Truly Yours,
JOHN M. BUTLER,
Chairman Executive Committee.

SAVED BY A DOG.
Members of the Family of Peter Pirsch
Narrowly Escape Asphyxiation.


The members of the family of for
mer Alderman Peter Pirsch owe their
lives to the barking of dog and it is
probable that this dog will remain a
respected member of the family until
the time of his death. On Tuesday
night the home of the Pirsch family
was filed with coal gas and the mem
bers of the family had a narrow es-
cape from losing their lives by
asphyxiation. During the night the
dog began to suffer from the effects Of
the gas and he how1ed in such per-
sistent manner that Mr.. Pirsch was
finally awakened. The other mem
bers of the family were found to be
unconscious from the action of the
gas. Prompt work restored them to
consciousness and all are now out of
danger.

The Rambler Magazine, the latest
addition to the publications in Keno
sha is attracting a great deal of atten-
ton and the demand for the January
number of the magazine has been so
great that the entire edition will soon
be exhausted. AS the name implies the
magazine is published as an advertise
ment of the Thomas B. Jefery COM
pany to promote the sale of Rambler
automobiles and while it is trade
paper in many ways, it has any num-
Der of attractive features which rec
ommend it to the regular purchasers of
magazines.
One of the features of the last num-
Der is ''The Machine and the Maid, -
a decidedly clever automobile story.
The author of the story should have
been sufficiently proud of it to append
his name but it is issued under the
initials ~. A. M" It is limited, how
ever, that the clever bit of fiction is
the work of one of the men connected
with the magazine. Other articles of
include splendid descriptions
of the Jefery factory showing the
various stages of automobile manu-
facture; a description of a Rambler
trip from Boston to Maine, and several
other contributions of merit.
The little magazine has clever get
up and is we'll printed on fine tinted
book paper. 1t is issued monthly from
the offices of the Jeffrey company and
has subscription price of SOC year.
