Albert Haines Comes to Kenosha Seek
ing Daughter Who Disappeared
Albert Haines, of Waukegan, was
IN kenosha or Sunday seeking to find
some trace of his daughter, Mary
Haines, who disappeared from Wau-
kegan six weeks ago and who is
thought to be working in one of the
laundries of Kenosha. The Haines
girl was at Highland Park a short
time ago where she worked under the
name of Kate Rodgers. It was learned
at Highland Park that she had come
to kenosha to work. The police of
Kenosha are making the rounds of the
different places in Kenosha today but
thus far they have found no trace of
the girl. It is not known why the
girl left home but it is limited that a
love affair was at the bottom of her
actions

Mayor German and Eugene Huck
Meet in Terrible Personal
Encounter Monday
TO EXAMINE HUI OK FOR SANITY
Mayor Gets Ont an Application for
Examination When HEX Was
too Ill to Come Into Court
to Answer Charges

I One OF the most regretab1e affairs
ever occurring in Kenosha, took place
just after six O'Clock Monday evening
when Mayor James German and Eu-
gene J. Huck, in charge Of the shoe
department of the Fair, met in a bit
ter personal encounter in a Main
street hotel. Both men were more or
less bruised up and this morning a
warrant was issued for the arrest Of
Huck, charging him with using LAM
gnage tending to provoke an assault
and asking that he be placed under
bonds to keep the peace. When Chief
ofaPolice O'Hare went to the Huck
home 60 bring the accused man into
court, he was SO i'll that he could not
leave his bed and later in the morning
an application was filed in the County
court asking that an examination in
to the mental condition of Huck be
made by the County court.
The struggle was one of the most
sensational things ever known in Ke-
nosha. Hnck was in the hotel when
German entered with a Chicago man
with whom he had been doing BUSH
ness during the afternoon. Just as
German entered the hotel Huck
noticed him and is alleged to have
made sneering remark, accompany
ing it with vile name applied to
German. It was evident that the men
would clash and just as Huck started
iowa ~ Z Corn :, 4 \ -, vy/, 80 !, ), lo:e
fighting blood and he landed an awful
blow on Huck knocking him to the
floor and badly bruising his face.
German was on top of Huck as soon.
as he went down but other men in the
hotel interfered and separated the
men.
. Huck, badly bruised, fed from the
place, but in a livery short time he re-
turned and started another assault on
German, grabbing him about the legs
and throwing him to the floor. The
men ciinched and both were badly
bruised by falling against the furni-
ture. Huck then >leaped to his feet
and threw glass of water into the
mayors face, but the men in the ho-
tel prevented further conflict.
German, when seen stated that he
was unable to explain the attack
made upon him and declared that he
acted only in self defense. It seems
that there has been trouble between
the men for some time. Huck is al
legged to have followed German home
armed with gun and to have threat
ened his life and it Isl also claimed
that al one time Huck went to the
home of German and finding Cor
mans wife at home made threats
against the mayor. When questioned
in regard to the visit it is alleged that
Huck said that he wanted German to
go fishing with him.
Huck has been sick for some time
and it is claimed that he has never
entirely recovered from a stroke Of
paralysis which he sustained years
ago. Mayor German stated this morn
ing that he feared the threats made
by Huck but that he believed that the
man was not responsible for his
actions and for this reason he had
asked that some examination be
made by the County court.

Game Warden KIeist Narrowly
Escapes Being Shot While
on Trail of Law Breakers
TWO vI0LAToRs ARE FINED
Foreigners Shooting Harmless Birds
Taken into Custody, but Four of
Party Manage to Escape
May be Taken Later

Deputy Game Warden Michael
kle1st is determined to protect the
harmless birds of Kenosha county,
and as result of this he came near
losing his life on Sunday afternoon.
kleist had been informed that mum
Der Of people were hunting for song
birds out in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie, and early Sunday morning
he started out to hunt down the vio-
lators of the game laws. He spent
most of the morning searching for
the party, but finally managed to To-
cate a party of seven men, mostly
Italians, all armed with rifles and all
engaged in the rather doubtful sport
of shooting meadow 1arks and high
holers.
The game wardea was anxious to
catch the men with the game in their
hands, and for this reason he trailed
the party for several hours. He f.
nally saw two of the men following
bird, and he got in behind hay stack
to watch the men. Just then onelof
them fired, and the bullet whizzed by
kleist's hat and he narrowly escaped
being shot down. There was no
more trailing for the deputy, but he
jumped from his hiding place and
went after the gang. Four of the
men escaped, but two of them, Frank
ItaConti and Gontano Vocaro. were
arrested. While Kleist was taking
these men into custody the other FIVE
ran, but one of them Ewas captured
later.
The last man captured had no gun,
and it was admitted that he was
simply waiting for the others to get
their game sacks filled. The Italians
were decidedly foxy, and as fast as
the birds we're killed!they were.picked
SO thatthe game warden would have
had trouble proving his case, had he
not caught one of the men just after
he had shot meadow lark and had
not had time to pick it.
The two men arrestedswere brought
before Justice McCarron this morning
and pleaded guilty to violating the
game laws. Each was finedE$1O and
the costs of the action andsboth paid
up. Deputy Kleist is now making an
effort to capture the other men who
resisted him and got away. It is said
that the men are known and it is
thought that they will be in court
within a few days.
Repeated complaints have been
brought tor the game wardens Of the
slaughter of song birds. It's claimed
that the meadow larks are considered
a particularly dainty dish by the
foreigners and they have been
Strengthening hundreds of the m dur
ing the ia st few weeks. Most Of the
birds have been killed in the town of
Pleasant Prairie and the shooting has
been done by men who resided IN Ke-
nosha.
There IS no open season for song
birds and harmless birds ands.the de-
putty will see to it that the law is Wig
|orousIy prosecuted in this regard.
Kleist declared this morning that
his close call to being shot was entire
ly an accident, as the men were rot
aware of the fact that he was hiding
behind the hay stacksand that one of
them had fired at bird.

Roscoe Siver, a Teamster, Badly
Wounded by Being Stabbed
While at His Work
JOHN BURK HELD FOR CRIME
Man who is Alleged to Have Done the
Stnbbing Captured in Racine After
an Exciting Chase Late
Last Night

Roscoe Silver. a teamster employed
by the Peter Fisher, Jr., company, is
confined to his room at 262 Park street,
suffering with two bad knife wounds
in his side and back and John Burk,
another teamster employed by the
same company, occupies cell at the
county jail charged with assault with
intent to do great bodily harm.
The cutting ARRAY, which occurred
on Market street late Friday after
noon, caused great excitement and it
was at first reported that Silver had
been murdered. Burk was captured
in Racine three hours after the cutA
ting and admitted his part in the
atfray when brought to Kenosha just
before midnight last night. He de-
clares that he struck in self-defense
and alleged that the trouble grew out
of the fact that he refused to join the
union of the teamsters of the city.
This fact is denied by Silver and by.
other member of the union who witt
messed the cutting and they declare
that the act of Burk was entirely In
excusable.
Silver is resting easy this morning.
but the physicians cannot at this time
tell what the outcome of his injuries
will be. His escape from death was
narrow one. One of the blows from
the knife pierced his right side and
struck rib and this probably saved
his life. The other cut from the knife
is in the back near the spine.
Silver was seen at his home this
morning, and while weak from loss Of
blood, he told the complete story 2f
the ARRAY. He stated that Burk had
been sent to the power house of the
Kenosha Water Co. to deliver a load
of coal. Burk, he said, had been
drinking and was so drunk that he
was unable to manag the horses, and
for this reason he and two other men
employed at the coal yard were sent
over to assist him. Burk, it is al
legged, had mistreated the horses, and
when the other men arrived they took
charge of the team and prepared to
unload the coal, sending Burk back to
the coal yard. After the men had
started to unload the coal Silver start
ed to drive back to the yards. Burk
ran and jumped in the rear of the
wagon and without a word struck
Silver twice with the knife. Silver,
not knowing that he had been
wounded, and believing that Burk
had struck him with his fist, picked
up a board in the wagon and felled
Burk, but the latter managed to get
up and run away. He ran through
the yards of the Simmons Manufac-
turing Co., and while Silver was chas-
ing him he discovered that he was
wounded and he fell to the ground
suffering from loss of blood. He was
at once tasen to the office of DR..
Spalding ano the police were notified
of the affair. Telephone messages
we're at once sent to Racine, as it was
learned that Burk had friends there.
Rurk caught freight train and got
into Racine, but he was taken into
custody a short time later. The hear
ing of the case will be postponed
pending the developments of the
wounded man.

SEEK MISSING MAN
Police Making an Effort to Find Some
Trace of Walter Tyler


The police of the city have been
asked to make an effort to locate
Walter Tyler, formerly resident of
the town of Pleasant Prairie, who
has been missing for the past eight
weeks and it is thought possible that
he has met with some foul play. Ty-
Ter and his wife had formerly been
employed on the Dowd farm but Tyler
left the farm eight weeks ago to ac-
cept work with the Chicago & Milwau-
kee Railway company and since that
time no trace of him can be found.
The wife is still at the farm and she
is heart broken over the disappearance
of the man. Thus far the officials
have not been able to find the slight

use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec-

that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop

SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emu1-

it does through nourish-

new treasurer.
The Board then went to the Of
flee of the County Treasurer and
in the presence of the Clerk of the
County, as required by law. the
funds on hand were turned over to
Mr.. Christensen, which sum, con-
sisting of checks. cash, drafts and
amounts in bank, amounted to
S2456O.50.
Mr.. Brickenstein informed the
board that he had recently lost in
the failure of the Bank of Alamosa.
the sum of S1S945 .S4 and that aside
from this he still owed over and
above the cash on hand the sum of

lost in the bank amounted to a
shortage of S6199l 80.
Mr.. Fred Warshauer, the princi-
pal bondsman of Mr.. Brickenstein,
being present. made statement to
the Board in which he said that he
proposed to see that the amount of
the shortage as above was paid and
asked the Board if they were ready
to settle. After due deliberation
the Board decided that they would
investigate the books of the county
treasurer prior to making settle

said investigation 1t was decided
that before the Board could become
fully advised in the premises it
would be necessary to check the
stub of each tax receipt to the cash
book and that for the purpose of
this investigation, the end to be
sought would be to get at the total
receipts of the office and the total
disbursements, after which the
Board would be in a position to
settle on the bond.
The attorney for Mr.. Washauer,
