Zion City Twelve Year Old Youth
Meets Death on the Tracks
Friday Morning.
He WAS PICKING UP COAL.

While picking up Jumps of coal on
the Northwestern tracks at Zion City
Friday boy named Earl Richard
son was struck and instantly killed by
a freight train. With Richardson
was his little sister and the two were
gathering coal that was dropped off
the cars, as the family is poor in the
extreme. The freight was going
north and the accident happened just
at the south end of the brick yards,
Richardson perceiving the approach
of the train too late. He was hit in
the back of the head and when picked
up had expired.
The lad was about twelve years old,
and his sister, who was unhurt, be-
ing some distance away, was younger.
Richardson's father is one of the
night force at the barns where the
factory horses and wagons are kept.
He had gone home from work and
had just retired when the tidings
came of his sons tragic death on the
rails. He broke down completely

kenosha Man Sent to Green Bay
for a Five Years Sentence
Has Been Released.
GUILTY OF ENLIGHTENMENT.
Man Who Stole $1,000 While the Con-
fidential Bookkeeper of A. d.
Meise1bach Has Been Released
by the Governor.

In the annual report of Governor
La Toilette to the legislature of the
pardons and paroles issued during
the past two years which was filed on
Thursday evening, notice is given
of the fact that Herbert ]. Thompson,
who wasssent to the Green Bay refor-
matory from this county nearly five
years ago,E.has been released. The
parole or pardon has not been filed
with the clerk of the circuit court in
this county and so far as the records
are concerned, Thompson is still serv-
ing time. He had been sent to Green
Bay for an indeterminate sentence of
from one to- five years. It is evident
that ThompsontEhas Isbeen released
within aEveryisshort time, as none of
the friends of the prisoner in Kenosha
had heardHanything of his dicharge.
The,Thompsonscase was decided
ly sensational one when it came out
in 1900.
ebert" Thompson, askhe was fami1-
iar1y known to the bicycle trade in all
parts of the world, came to Kenosha
as a protege of A. D. Meise1bach. At
the time Meise1bach had just purchas-
ed the plant of the Sieg- Wa1pole com
pany and was planning to put type
writer on the market. Thompson was
at once installed as his private secre-
tary and confidential bookkeeper.
Before this time Thompson had
been employed by several of the lead
ing bicycle firms in the United States.
and he had been one of the most sue
cessful statesmen in the business. He
had been employed by the Meise1bach
Bicycle company in Milwaukee, but
it is claimed that with the failure of
the bicycle businessET Thompson had
lost his gripEand had started to drink
ing. He was downIland out when he
was picked up by tMeiselbach and
brought to Kenosha.
Thompson soon gained his old place
among the men at the factory and
was known as one of the best fellows
in the city. GHe led a gay life and the
entertainments which he provided for
| Ills 411CuOS WS1O lL1C ld4h VI lnC LOW ns
Thompson was spendingR about 5000 a
week, and after a time an investiga-
ton was decided upon by Mr.. Meise1-
bach and he went to the bank and
discovered that Thompson had been
| working a system for raising checks,
| by which he had embezz1ed more than
81, 900 of the funds of the company.
Meise1bachs at once went to the plant
and confronted Thompson with the
evidences of Rhis guilt and he admit
ted thati.he had forged six checks
within few days. He was at once
arrested and after remaining in jail
for day'lor soshel filed a petition to
plead guilty liza the Circuit court and
was sentenced to the Green Bay in
stitution.
There are still many friends of
Thompsonsin the factories of Keno
sha and they will be glad to know
that heshas been released from prison
and has been given chance to start
life again. Thompson is now about
80 years of age.
