Well Known Man Of the City Dies
by His Own Hand at His
Prairie Avenue Home.
NO CAUSE FOR SAD TRAGEDY.
Douglas K. Newell Ended His Life by
Firing Revolver Bullet Into His
Brain at an Early Hour
Saturday Morning.

Douglas K. Newell, one of the best
known young men of the city, killed
himself at his home on Prairie avenue
just before three O'Clock Saturday
morning by shooting himself. The
wounded man fingered until nearly
eight O'Clock when death came to re-
lease him from suffering.
The announcemen of the tragic
death of Mr.. Newell came as great
shock to his relatives and friends and
it is impossible to assign any reason
for the action. Mr.. Newell had how
ever been in bad health for some time
and it is probable that this i'll health
was the cause of his rash deed.
The circumstances surrounding his
death were most unusual. He had
been spending the evening with
friends Friday night and went to his
home on Prairie avenue shortly before
midnight. His wife was awaiting his
return. The two sat and chatted for
half an hour and then the husband
urged Mrs. Newell to retire stating
that he had some writing he wanted
to do before he went to bed. Mrs.
Newell retired a few minutes later
and long about three O'Clock Mr..
Newell went to the bed room and
stated that rats we're running about
in the cellar. He took his revolver
and started for the cellar. He went
into the cellar and fired one shot and
a short time later he returned to the
kitchen and sitting down n rocking
chair he placed the revolver against
his right temple and fired.
He was found in the kitchen, md
later DR.. Ripley and Dr.. Jorgensen
were called to attend him. He 1inger-
ed until nearly eight O'Clock Saturday
morning.
Douglas Kinney Newell was born
in Kenosha twenty-six years ago and
was the son of the late O. S. Newell a
former mayor of the city. He was
educated in the University school in
Kenosha and at St. Pau1's school at
Garden City, Long Island. After re-
turning from school he was married

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Steb-
bins. After his marriage he resided
on farm in the town of Bristol but
recently he had removed to the city
The widow and one son Douglas K.
Newell il. survive.
Mr.. Newell was connected with
many organizations in the city. He
was member of the Kenosha lodge
|oe the Benevo1ent and Protective
Order of Ellys having been one of the
charter members of the lodge in Ke-
'nosha. He was a member of the Ke-
nosha Country club and took a great
interest in the clubs work. Mr..
Newell was exceedingly popular
among the younger people of the city
and his tragic death caused intense
sorrow in all circles in Kenosha.
The funeral services was held
from the late residence of the deceas-
ed on Monday morning at nine O. clock.

Property owners on other streets in
the city also plan to protest against
the granting of the right Of way, so
that the path Of the ordinance through

City Engineer Moth Sends Sample
Of Water From Kenosha
to State Department
PUREST ALONG LAKE SHORE.
Intake for the Kenosha Water Main is
Set Far Out Into the Lake and Out
of Reach of Sewerage and Lake
Currents.-Test is Gratifying.

Superintendent Robert HI. Moth Of
the Kenosha City Water company,
has forwarded to the State Health de-
partment at Madison a sample of the
water now flowing through the Keno
sha water mains. The sample will be
thoroughly tested, and a full report
of it's chemical contents forwarded to
Kenosha in the near future.
The action of the superintendent is
simply for the purpose Of making as
surance doub1y sure. There have
been no complaints filed by patrons Of
the Water company, and the low death
rate shows that the water that is
being supplied to the people of Keno
sha is as nearly pure as it could be.
For some time all the cities along
the lake shore, with the exception of
Kenosha, have been having all sorts
of trouble on account of the water
supply. The intake for the Wau-
kegan water mains, situated a few
feet from the harbor, is blocked with
ice much of the time. Evanston
water is polluted with the sewage of a
hundred sewers leading out of Chi
cago. The supply for Milwaukee and
Racine is contaminated with the
liquor poured into the lake by the
tanneries and other manufacturing
plants, and Kenosha seems to be the
only city on the lake that has pure
lake water.
The conditions prevailing in this
city are unusual. When the city
water plant was installed the matter
Of avoiding these dangers was taken
up at length and it was discovered
that the only way to insure pure water
was to place the intake far out in the
lake. The intake is located nearly a
mile in the lake directly northeast of
the harbor piers. 1t is so located that
it is out of the way of all sewage and
surface water coming into the lake
from Kenosha. 1t is also located
north of the current in the lake so
that the sewage and impurities from
the cities along the north shore are
carried by the intake. Furthermore
the mouth of the intake is carefully
guarded with screens so that it is inn
possible for foreign matter to enter it.
Complaint has been made on ac-
count of the fact that the water is
sometimes discolored, but this is
brought about by the fact that the
northeast wind carries clay into the
water from the clay banks north of
the city. This clay is in no way in
furious to the health of the people of
the city who use the water.

CARL SNARTZ FREE.
Kenosha Man Who Has Been
Serving Term in State Prison
Returns Home Again.
SOUGHT RELEASE MANY TIMES

Carl Swartz, of this city, who has
been spending a long term in the
state prison at Waupun as a penalty
on the charge of adultery, was released
on Wednesday and returned to Keno
sha Thursday. Swartz as soon as
he struck the city made call on
former District Attorney A. b. Buck
master and assured him that he dad
entirely reformed.
The case of Swartz was an unusual
one. He was sent to the state prison
two years ago and since that time he
has never given up the fight to Sc
cure his release. He has sent any
number of letters to the officials of the
county, and twice he has petitioned
the city council to take some steps to
secure his pardon. Swartz always al
legged that he was innocent of the
charges brought against him and de-
c1ared that he did not receive fair
treatment when his case was heard
in the local courts.
In the prison Swartz was a model
prisoner and on this account his term
was materially decreased. Some time
ago Swartz sent letter to Kenosha
people in which he stated that he
would make some revelations when
he was released from prison, but he
stated Thursday that he had decided
to let the old matter drop.
Swartz was given hearty welcome
by his wife and children and he will
at once take up his old business as a
junk dealer. The woman who was
implicated in the charges against
Swartz has long since left the city.
No charge was ever brought against
her in the local courts.
