THE election of Mayor German to a
place on the board of Water Commits
sion was distinct surprise, and a
good many of the advocates of muni-
cipal ownership do not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that his selection
for the commission BODIES i'll to their
cause. To be successful, munich
pally owned plants of whatever kind
must be kept out of politics and out
of the hands of politicians, and the
municipal ownership men see in the
election of the mayor the entering
wedge which in time may put the poll
iticians in control of the water COM
pany and make the places on the
board and the management of the
plant the spoil of partisan politics.
These men have nothing against the
mayor personally, and they are will
ing to admit that he will probably
make good official, but they would
be more hopeful of the future of mu-
nicipal ownership in Kenosha if some
man less prominent politically had
been put on the board.

STRUCK BY A ROBBER
Mrs. Henry vandenberg Attacked
byaoBurgIar at Her Home on
j North Chicago Street .
LEAvESWoMAN UNCONSCIOUS.

4 x ( -
One Of the most dastardly crimes
ever committed in Kenosha was per-
Fpetrated at the home of Henry Van
denberg on North Chicago s street
TUESDAY, when an unknown man en-
tered the rear portion of the house,
and finding Mrs. Vandenberg alone,
attacked her. He struck the woman
with his fist and the blow was suffi-
cient to render her unconscio
While Mrs. Vandenberg lay on the
kitchen floor in an unconscious. con-
dition the fellow ransacked the house
and managed to get away with a gold
watch and several other pieces of Jew
elry. When he left the house Mrs.
Vandenberg was still unconscious.
A minute later she recovered con-
seriousness and started to call for aid.
She went to the rear door and ree1ed
and fell, and was found lying on the
steps by neighbor.
1t is supposed that the revival of
Mrs. Vandenberg had frightened the
burglar, and as he was leaping over
the fence in the rear of the house he
dropped the gold watch which had
been taken from one of the upper
rooms. The watch was found later
by the people who had come to the aid
of the woman.
The case was reported to the police
this morning, but they have no trace
of the mysterious assailant of Mrs.
Vandenberg. 1t is thought that the
man was aware of the fact that Mrs.
Vandenberg was alone at the time
and took advantage of the fact. The
woman is not seriously injured, but
she is suffering greatly from the shock
caused by the appearance of the man
in the house. AT the time the fellow
entered the door Mrs. Vandenberg
thought it was milk dealer and he
struck her without giving her any
chance to defend herself.

Chicago Capitalist Charged With
Attempted Murder Released
From Jail by His Wife
BOND REDUCED TO MINIMUM
Wife Puts Up $500 in Cash and $4,000
in characterization to Return
to Chicago at Once for Trial
at Detention Court
From Wednesdays Daily.)

Peter Achton, the Chicago capital
ist who has been in Jail here for the
last month charged with attempted
murder of his son, John Peter Achton,
will return to Chicago this evening a
free man. He will be free for only a
short time, however, as he will be
taken into the detention hospital in
Chicago at 9 o'clock tomorrow and
probably adjudged insane.
Actions release is due to the I'M
firing efforts of his wife. Notwith-
standing the fact that it was alleged
that Achton was assau1ting his wife
at the time the trouble with the son
started, she came to Kenosha today
and signed the bonds for Achton.
The district attorney consented to re-
duce the bail to $1,000, and $500 was
deposited in cash, while Achton and
his wife executed a mortgage on prop
erty in the county for the remainder
of the sum. With the understanding
that the bail was to be reduced to
$4,000, Achton consented to waive ex-
animation on the charge against him
and was bound over to await the &C
ton of the Circuit court.
AS soon as this was disposed of
-Achton prepared to go at once to
Chicago. Deputy Sheriff Mutz had
already been supplied with warrant
for thesarrest of Achton as an insane
person, and on this he will be taken
to the detention hospital. DR.. Kear-
sney, the famous specialist in the
treatment of the insane, examined
Achton, and he declares that there is
no doubt but that Achton is insane.
8 Mrs. Achton stated this afternoon
that all arrangements had been COM
pleted to have Achton sent to the asy-
lun at Kankakee. It is distinctly
understood that in case Achton is not
found to be insane he will be brought
back to Kenosha to answer the
charges against him.
Mrs. Achton and her attorney stated
that they had no desire to shield
Achton but that they believed that he
was insane and should be sent to a
hospital. It is stated that the son
who was stabbed has now entirely re-
covered but he was not In the city to-
day to give his evidence at the hear
ing. Achton was not aware of the
presence of his wife in the city until
after all arrangements for his return
to Chicago had been completed.

Overseer at Zion City is Named to
Succeed John Alexander as Leader

Succeed John Alexander as Leader
A telegram received from St. Paul
this morning announced that DR..
John G. Speicher, the overseer of
Zion City, this morning received
letter from Apostle John Alexander,
naming him as his successor in case
Dowie never returns from Mexico.
DR.. Speicher has been connected with
Dowie and his work for nearly ten
years, and has been in charge of Zion
City on several occasions. The fact
that he has been named as successor
of Dowie will give assurance that the
plans of the general overseer will be
carried out. DR.. Speicher is we'll
known in Kenosha, as he was for
merly in charge of the services held
by the followers of Dowie in this city.
Dowie decided to name successor
last week, but declined to make pub
lie his selection until after the man in
question had been notified.

IT is reported that automobiles have
been found carrying other numbers
than those they are registered under.
This is something that calls for an
immediate and searching investiga-
ton by the state officials. This
changing of the numbers would de-
feat the whole purpose of the law re-
quiring automobiles to carry them,
which is to make Identification of any
machine easy and certain. If there is
not heavy enough penalty provided
for the men who resort to this evasion
to make them stop it, the law may as

to that of all travellers from this
country to the effect that the American

FORM NEW COMPANY
Egan Electrical and Telephone
Manufacturing Company In
corporated in Illinois
KEN0SHA MEN INTERESTED

Articles of incorporation have been
filed at Springfield, ILL.,, for the in
corporation of the Egan Electrical
and Telephone Manufacturing COM
pany. The company, which has a
capital stock of 100000, is formed
for the purpose of manufacturing a
telephone device by G. E. Egan of
this city.
Several Kenosha men besides Mr..
Egan are interested in the company,
among the number being Lee Chide-
ster and Albert Franzway who are
named as directors of the company.
Julius S. Carr of Chicago, is named
as president, and c. E. Egan OF this
city, is to be the general manager.
The company is incorporated for
the purpose of manufacturing the
telephone receivers and transmitters
recently patented by Mr.. Egan and it
is claimed that the company already
has sufficient number of orders for
the phones to secure them in the en-
terprise. MIR. Egan came to Kenosha
eAAS A1OA uAuS 10 COu1CI WIFI the local
men interested in the company in re-
gard to the erection of the plant for
the manufacture of the phones. At
present the plan of the company is to
build plant IN Chicago in connection
with one of the big companies which
make a business of manufacturing
telephone supplies. 1t may, however,
become necessary to abandon this
plan and if such is the fact the COM
pany will probably locate in Kenosha.
1t is understood that the company
will have excellent backing. Men
prominent in the American Tobacco
company are also interested in the
Egan plant.
The patent of Egan has been
thoroughly tested by telephone COM
panies in all parts of the country and
it is claimed that it will cause revo-
luton in the telephone business. The
cost of the instrument designed by
Egan is about one-third the cost of |
the instruments now on the tmarket.

AN arrest on a charge Of carrying
concealed weapons serves to call at
tention to thefact that this dangerous
practice is altogether too common in
Kenosha. There is no occasion for
anybody to go armed now, and the
chances are that the man who carries
a deadly weapon intends to use it for
no good purpose. Criminals invari-
ably go about armed,- and the man
who is caught with concealed
weapon on him lays himself open to
the suspicion that he belongs in the
criminal class.
