GAS CLAIMS VICTIMS
Three Members Of the Family Of
Henry HaIverson Overcome
by Coal Gas Sunday.
RECOVERED FROM EFFECTS.

Coal gas claimed three more victims
in Kenosha early Sunday morning
when the members of the family of
Henry Halverson, residing at Az
West Main street, were overcome by
the fumes of gas escaping from a
base burner. The prompt arrival of
neighbors and a physician saved the
lives Of the people.
Mr. and Mrs. Ha1verson and their
daughter had gone to bed at the usual
hour Saturday evening and the stove
had been closed up tight. In short
time the house was filled with the
fumes of the gas but it was not sufi-
GENTLY strong to make the sleeping
inmates unconscious. Mr.. Ha1verson
and his wife woke in the early morn
ing suffering from dizziness and nau-
sea, and when the father went to call
his daughter he had some trouble
arousing her. AS soon as the daugh-
ter left her bed she fell in swoon on
the floor. The father rushed out of
the house and revived by contact with
the fresh air he went to the home Of
neighbors for assistance. These peo-
pie hurried1y opened the windows and
summoned DR.. Van Westreinen, who
took charge of the mother and daugh-
ter. Miss Halverson suffered from
the effects of the gas during the en-
tire day, but it is reported that she is
out of danger today.
More than twenty people have been
overcome by gas in Kenosha during
the winter just coming to close and
this fact shows that the people should
be more cautious in the use of stoves
burning hard coal.

FAvoRs MORE GERMAN.
Prof. Hoh1feld's Report on Teaching of
German in High Schools Published.

Prof. Hoh1fe1d's Report on Teaching of
German in High Schools Published.
State Superintendent G. P. Cary
has just issued the Report of the Com
mittee of Nine, of which Professor A..
r. Hoh1fe1d of the University was
chairman, which was made at the re-
cent meeting of the Wisconsin Teach
ers Association. The report considers
the advisabi1ity and feasibility of ex-
tending the high school course in Ger
man. The conclusions of this COM
nittee of nine are: First, that the
disci plinary value of foreign lam
guage justifes its introduction into
the upper grade of the grammer
school, and that it be recommended,
therefore, that a foreign language,
preferably a modern one, be introduce
ed into the upper two grades as soon
as possible, not as an additional study,
but by Encouragement of the sub
jects now constituting the element
airy and high school courses, and if
necessary by the elimination of some
subject such as arithmetic geography
and technical grammar; second, that
those high schools now offering but
one foreign language for less than
four years, extend the course in that
language to full four year course
before offering a second foreign lam
guage.
The purpose of publishing the re-
port is to bring the subject before the
teachers of the state, in order that it
may be fully discussed before the
next meeting of the Wisconsin Teach
ers Association, when DOUBTLESS some
action will be taken in regard to these
commentators

Harry Thomas Son Of Alderman
j. Thomas Accidentally Shot
by Herman Meyers.
SHOT GOES THROUGH LEG.
Injured Boy is Taken to the Kenosha
Hospital and the Shots Removed
and Physicians Hope for
Speedy Recovery.

Harry Thomas, oldest son of Alder
man Joseph Thomas, Of the Eighth
ward, met with a bad accident late
Saturday afternoon when he was &C
cident1y shot and badly wounded by
Herman Meyers, Ia companion. The
entire charge of buckshot was fired
from shotgun into the right leg of
young Thomas. He is now at the Ke-
nosha hospital and the physicians
announce that he will recover barring
the appearance of blood poisoning to
complicate the case.
The shooting of the Thomas boy
came as a sad ending to a hunting ex-
petition. The two boys had gone out
into the town of Somers to make an
effort to kill crows, intending to col
1ect the bounty offered by the county.
They had been hunting for several
hours and they we're all but ready to
return home when the accident oc-
Cured. They had gone to field near
Central Park planning to watch for
car when a number of crows came IN
sight and young Meyers with the gun
cooked started forward to get shot
at the crows. He was almost directly
in front of Thomas when IN some way
he touched the trigger of the gun and
the explosion followed. Young Thorn
as dropped like a stone and for a
minute it was thought that he had
been shot through some vital spot.
Young Meyers hurried to the near
est house and secured help sand as
soon as possible the injured boy was
brought to his home on Milwaukee
avenue. He had suffered consider.
ably from loss of blood and his father
ordered the ambulance and had him
taken directly to the Kenosha hospital
Saturday evening DR.. Pugh operated
on the boy and managed to remove a
large amount of the shot from the
leg. The physicians in attendance
report that the shot did not touch the
bone of the leg but all of it was caught
by the flesh and muscles. The escape
of the boy from a serious wound was
nothing less than miraculous.
At the hospital today it is reported
that the boy is improving as rapidly
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
Young Meyers and Thomas had
been companions for years and the
boy who did the shooting is all but
Frustrated on account of the accident.
Now that the spring weather has
returned the boys of the city should
be warned against the careless use of
firearms. During the past year hunt
ing accidents resulted in three young
men of the city being injured and in
the death of one boy in the county.

entire matter over until next Friday
evening when an adjourned meeting
OF the council will be held to canvas
the vote of the city election and to
take up the sewer proposition. 1t is
claimed that several of the aldermen
have new propositions to submit to
the council at that time, and there is
every reason to believe that there will
be plenty of schemes from which to
select.
The council received communica-
ton from E. K. Head Offering to pur-
chase the old engine house lot on Wis
consin street for 81, 500. The city has
placed the lot on the market and the
clerk was authorized to ask for bids
for it.
The clerk was also authorized to
ask for bids for the city printing dur
ing the coming year to be presented
at the next regular meeting.
The salary of the new assessor 10
be elected at the election today was
placed at $500, the same that is now
being paid to the other assessors: the
council adjourned without further
business.
Notwithstanding the fact that it
was the night before election there
were twelve aldermen present at the
council meeting.

PLAN A LONG LINE.
Wisconsin Central Co. to Build
Through kenosha County to
Lake Geneva and Portage.
SECURING RIGHT OF WAY.

The Wisconsin Central Railway
company, if reports areto be believed,
is to build extensively in this and
Walworth equity during the coming
summer as it is stated that the COM
pany is planning to build line from
village of Trevor, in the town of
Salem, to Lake Geneva. The plans
have been worked out ito extend the
line to Portage later and from Port
age direct line will be built into
Milwaukee.
This story IS partially backed up by
the fact that the representatives. of
the company have recently been buy
ing up land in the western part of
this county, and they have already
started the work Of building the
grade for the proposed line.
The new line will not be of a great
value to Kenosha county beyond the
fact that it will offer the villages of
Wilmot and SHADES Corners a direct
connection with Chicago and with
the towns about Lake Geneva.
The plans seem to indicate that for
the present time the extension of the
line is planned largely for the benefit
of the summer resorts in this and
Wa1worth county. Hundreds of peo-
pie go from Lake Geneva to Chicago
daily and for some time the Central
has been seeking to secure this bust
ness. The line can now be built
without great deal of expense as the
grade has been made for most of the
way. In fact it is stated that the
grade for a line as far as Jefferson
has been completed.
Added to the passenger traffic that
the company might get out of such a
line the company has planned to build
to Wilmot in order to be able to get at
large deposits of gravel which have
been recently purchased in this VII
entity.
