BARRY LINE COMING
Well Known Transportation Co. Seek
ing an Entrance to Kenosna


Plans are being laid to give Kenosha
another steamboat line and it is stated
that within a few weeks the steamer
Peerless Of the Barry line will be-
gin making regular trips to Kenosha.
A new warehouse is being built on
the Simmons docks and it is thought
that this will be used by the new COM
pany, although the Hill Transporta-
ton company has also sought to Sc
cure lease of the building. The
Barry company is now running it's
boats between Milwaukee and Chica-
go, making regular stops at Racine.
The recent increase in business for
the lake carriers in Kenosha has APP
pealed to the company and it is de-
cided to have tie boat stop at Kenosha.
The Barry company formerly was in
charge of a line between Kenosha
and Chicago, but this run was
abandoned when the Hill company
came to Kenosha.

WAR IN soMERs
Italians and Tramps Fight For the
Possession of Box Car


Possession of Box Car
There was great excitement at The
village of Somers Friday evening,
when two tramps and party of seven
Italian workmen fought a revolver
battle for the possession of box car.
The Italians were employed by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
Railway company, and had been
making their home in the box car at
the village. Just after 10 O'Clock Fri
day evening the two tramps appeared
on the scene and demanded that they
be admitted to the cars. The Italians
declined and the tramps drew revol-
vers and began firing. The Italians
returned the fire, but as rapidly as
possible they hurried from the car
and sought shelter in the depot at
Somers where they remained for the
night. An effort was made to secure
officers, and the two tramps, who had
won bloodless victory had fled.
None1of the Italians were injured,
but they refused to remain for another
night in Somers, and this morning
they took their clothing and left for
Chicago. 1t is claimed that the cloth
ing of the Italians was robbed, but
the tramps failed to get anything of
value.

Unknown Men Loot Cash Drawer
Of Office Of Chicago & North
Western Company
WORK or SMOOTH CROOKS
While the Operator is Taking Bag
gage From the 11:4O Train Crooks
Enter Ticket Office and Manage
to Get Away With Contents

The most daring of the long line of
burglaries committed in Kenosha was
brought to the notice of the police
force just before midnight Friday
night when it was reported that the
ticlet office of the Chicago & North
Western Railway company had been
looted by burglars who managed to
get away with the contents Of the
cash drawer. The crime was commit
ted about 11:40 and while the man or
men were:loot ting the Office the oper-
ator who is in charge of the depot
was removing baggage from the 11:40
train. The stop made by the train
was less than two minutes but in that
time the smooth crook managed to
break into sthe Office, loot the cash
drawer and make his escape.
The depot was brilliantly lighted
during the entire transaction and the
thief must have been seen while at
work by some of the passengers who
left thestrain and hurried through the
depot toacatch the waiting carriages.
The operator is left alone at the
sta ton after theI 9:15 train to the
north and he is not only expected to
take care of the ticket office but also
to handle such baggage AS may be re-
ceived on the last train to the north.
WhenSthegoperator left the ticket Of
fee to go after the baggage he locked
the doorEwith spring lock and crossed
the platform. The thief must have
been in waiting and as soon as the
operator left the Office he forced an
entrance to the building by breaking
off one of the wire screens on the west
side of the building. Once in the Of
fce he seems to have been we'll
acquainted with the lay Of the land
and he forced open the cash drawer
and removed the contents.
1t is known that he secured 500 in
money and it is possible that he Sc
cured a slarge number of railway
| tickets. In the drawer were hundreds
jof dollars worth Of Communication
tickets and on the table by it was the
stamp which would make them valid

been checked up it will be impossible
| to tell the loss of the company.
AS soon as the crime was reported a
special detail Of police was sent out
to round up the gang about the depot,
but no suspicious characters were
found. It is thought possible that the
men guilty of the crime were able to
catch the train out of the city and
LETT Immediately after the robbery.
The railway company is taking
active steps to secure the arrest of
the intruder and it is thought possible
that he was some man who had
previous connection with the com
pany. The intimate knowledge which
the man showed of the actions of the
operator seems to indicate that he
either had been employed by the COM
pany or that he had kept close tab
on the movements of the operator.
The police state that they have no
clue to the guilty parties, but they
are working in conjunction with the
railway detectives in an effort to solve.
the mystery.
