John AItringer, Who Had Gone to
Root River to Camp, Drowned
While Bathing Saturday
FRIEND TRIES IN VAIN TO SAVE
Young Man Thought to Have Been At
tackled With Heart DiseasegWhile
Swimming Went Down and
Never Came UP

There was a sad ending to Keno
sha mans vacation late Saturday
afternoon, when John Altringer, aged
20 years, the only son Of Mrs. Eliza
beth Altringer, 261 North Congress
street, was drowned while he was at
tempting to swim the Root river near
the Horlick dam at Racine. The body
was recovered and after it had been
viewed by a coroner's jury it was
brought to Kenosha on Sunday morn
ing and taken to the stricken home.
The funeral will be held from ST.
Georges church at $50 O'Clock Tues
day morning and the remains will be
inferred in the family plat at ST..
Georges cemetery.
The drowning of young Altringer
has caused a profound sensation
among the people residing on the
north side of the city, as he was one
of the most popular young men in that
section of the city. He was member
of the Catholic Order of Foresters
and Of st. Georges Junior society and
had taken an important part in both
societies.
Altringer was employed at the Sim
mons factory, and on Saturday morn
ing he announced hat he had planned
to take his annual vacation of week
and it was his intention to.spend the
week along the Root river at ascottage
owned by Frank Panlener, who lives
at the A1tringer home and who had
been working companion of the
dead man,
The two men went to Racine late
Saturday morning and went at once
to the cottage. After arranging
things for the weeks camping they
decided to go in bathing. At this
point the river is about fifty feet wide
and very deep, but as beth the boys
were good swimmers they decided
that they would swim the river. AS a
precaution boat with couple of life
preservers in it had been set adrift on
the river. Young Altringer seemed
in perfect condition when he started
TO cross the river, and swan out
ahead of Panlener. He was within
twenty feet of the other bank of the
stream when his companion saw him
laundering in the water.
Getting tired John" shouted Pan
lener and Altringer shouted back
that he was and Panlener hastily
taking one of the life preservers from
the boat threw it to him. A1tringer
c1utched at the life preserver but
failed to get hold Of it and Immediate
ly sank like a rock. The body never
came up again. His companion at
once summoned aid and several men
who we're near the scene of the acct
dent made an effort to recover the
body but they failed to find it and
members of the life saving crew we're
summoned The body was recovered
just a tier five O'Clock and removed to
the Racine morgue. A jury was sum-
moned to view the remains and at
the inquest this morning verdict of
accidental death was returned
The death of young A1tringer came
s.s a sad ending to the camping trip
and the other members of the party
returned to Kenosha with the remains
on Sunday.

TOOK BOTH GAMES
KeasQs4 Team WalIops Wood.
stock Saturday and Gives Har-
ward Similar Medicine Sunday
DIVERS COMPLETELY tanned

The Kenosha baseball team re-
turned home this morning with two
more scalps dangling at its belt. The
first was acquired at Woodstock on
Saturday afternoon when the famous
divers bit the dust before the Keno
sha team for the second time this sea-
son. The score was 8 to A. The
divers had plarned an awful defeat
for the kenoshd team. but the boys
put up a great game and Pulse was
ia perfect form.
The second victory came on Sunday
afternoon when the Kenosha boys
dropped into Harvard, "Mark Rowe S
Town., and took fall out of the un-
defeated Harvard team to the tune Of Z
to 2. AS had been expected the Har-
ward team proved to be a decidedly
easy nut for the Kenoslla team to
crack. The Harvard rooters turned
out in force to give the Kenosha boys
a reception and not a little money
changed hands as a result Of the con-
test. Pulse pitched again on Sunday
and played just as good a game as he
played at Woodstock on Saturday.
The Harvard team was no match
for the Kenosha players and the score
might as well have been 20 to 2, as
to 2, but the Kenosha boys took a
little pity on the undefeated cham
pions of Harvard and refused to rub
it in on them on their home field.
The game at Woodstock was 10
easy proposition and the Kenosha
team was given one of the hardest
fights of the year. In fact up to the
last part of the game it looked as if
the divers would get the revenge
they had planned. Kenosha was
b1anked for FIVE straight innings,
while the divers had been busy and
in the third they took hitting streak
which ended with three runs. In the
sixth the Kenosha boys got two runs
and ia the seventh they put the game
out of danger by taking four more.
The manager Of the divers is anxious
to secure another game with the locals
and they will probably be seen in Ke-
nosha again before the end of the
season. The score Of the game:

USED CLEVER RUSE
Harvard mar Manages to Secure Pocket
Book With So In it and Gets Away

Harvard may not be a great place
for the development Of baseball play
ers, but it certainly has developed a
clever thief who worked in Kenosha
week ago. Mrs. William Whittier
lost a pocket book containing So
IN money and the book was picked
up by couple of boys near the North
western railway station.
The Harvard man who is as yet IN
known to the police, saw the boys pick
up the pocket book and he rushed over.
to them and informed them that it had
been dropped by woman who was at
the station waiting for Il train. He
took the pocket book to Harvard and
after extracting the money gave it to
relative. The police recovered the
pocketbook this morning but the man
has left Harvard and he can not be
located.

Drop fractional Names.

New Providence, Sept 2S.-Editor:-
i noticed short time ago that at a
conference of the party leaders it was
decided that the adjectives standpat
progressive, as applied to the different
factions of republicans, was to be drop
ped, and that we were to be known
hereafter as republicans. This is as it
should be, and as it ought to have been
all the time; for, in my judgment.
there is but on appellation to be APP
piled to the party. But notwithstand-
ing the agreements to drop all those
stigmas, for such they are I noticed
that the papers still keep up their pet
names. Now, the Iowa Republican is
satisfied with the platform as it is.
and progressive, as applied to the diff
port it, and if the party is allowed to
hang together it will win in November.
But if it is to be divided and subdi-
vided between you newspaper men, the
party is sure of defeat, for God has
said that house divided against it,
self cannot stand.
Mr. Cummins said in his opening
campaign speech: II am not a stand
patter, not a progressive, but repub-
lican;" and on that speech he expects
to be elected, but where is the vote
coming from If the party is divided
into three parts? He can't get them.
Now, let me suggest for the party's
sake, If for nothing else, let us drop
those stigmas and be republicans. Vim
egar never catches flies.

Marion. Oct. 2.-Wesley Shafer, the
farmer living in the eastern part OF
this county. who murdered his wife
last summer, was indicted yesterday
afternoon by the Linn county grand
Jury, which concluded it's lengthy SEES
sion. Shafer still maintains that stol-
id Indifference as to the outcome OF
the case. which has characterized him
as a brute ever since his arrest and
confession. He has never expressed 9
regret for the act, altho now he does
say that '.he guesses he shouldn't have
done it,
1t will be remembered that one night
last summer, following a quarrel with
his wife, because she would not COM
ply with some Of his wishes, he choked
her into insensibility, and then, secur-
ing hammer, pounded her to death
He afterwards told that the woman sus-
tanned the injuries by falling down
stairs. 1t was not until after he had
been placed under arrest that he con-
fessed to the crime. Since then he has
been utterly Indifferent, and probably
will make no defense. Shortly after
his arrest he decided his property to a
trustee for the benefit of his children
for whom he seems to have much
love.
