RUSTMAN A SUICIDE
President Of Jefferson Ice Co
Shoots Himself in Chicago
Saturday Morning
WORRIED OVER ICE FAMINE

The open winter in Kenosha county
which has made it impossible for the
Jefferson Ice company to fill it's big
houses on Powers Lake and Silver
Lake was the indirect cause of the
suicide Of Jacob Rustman, the presi'
dent Of that company. Rustmar
shot himself on Saturday morning
and was found dead in his office. Near
him was revolver with one chamber
empty. Rustman was forty-nine
years Of age and was native of Han
over, Germany.
He had been engaged in cutting ice
in Kenosha county for nearly twenty
years. Twenty-Five years ago he
esta blished the Jefferson Ice com.
pany in Chicago and he was one Of
the first Chicago men to see the value
of the Kenosha lakes for the ice har.
vest. He had large holdings on Silver
Lake, Powers Lake and Benedict
Lake and Ia quarter of century he
had amassed fortune of over mil
lion dollars from ice cut from the
lakes in this county.
For the past two months Rustman
had been worried over the fact that
he had not been a bile to fill the big ice
houses on Powers Lake. On account
of the worry of the president of the
company the men were started tc
work last Thursday. It was stated
that Rustman had big contracts for
ice which he could fill only at great
loss as he was forced to purchase ice
from rival companies and they were
charging him higher price than he
secured from his trade. Rus man had
also spent a great deal of time worry.
ing over the fact that he had hear6
that the Knickerbocker Ice company
was making an effort to get hold OF
some Of his property at Powers Lake
This property is regarded as the most
valuable ice field in the neighborhood
of the Chicago market.
The dead man was we'll known tc
many people in the western part Of
this county as in former years he gave
his personal supervision to the anDua
ice harvest. Rustman's family physi
clan stated at the coronor's Inquest
that there was no doubt but that Rust
man was temporarily insane from
over work.

FIGHT FOR KENOSHA
Wisconsin Congressman Seeking
to Secure Large Appropriation
for q Postoffice Building
$4,000 in OMNIBUS BILL

EThe house committee on public
buildings and grounds will meet on
Friday of this week, to makeau up a
list of appropriations for public
buildings, which are to be included in
the proposed omnibus bill to be passed
by the present session Of congress
and the representatives. Of this state
headed by Congressman Cooper will
make hard effort to secure large
appropriation for public buildings at
Kenosha and Be1oit.
IT is expected that the bill will
carry appropriations to an amount
from SIS, O00,O 900 to $17, 100000 and the
Wisconsin members of congress ex-
pect to geta large slice of this amount
for Wisconsin Offices. The bill as it
stands at the present time carries an
appropriation Of $4,000 which is de-
Signed for the purchase of a site for a
building in Kenosha. Recently the
representative made ruling that
no less than $4,000 would be ap-
propriated for postoffice buildings in
the future and to this end Mr.. Cooper
has sent request to the committee
| that, an appropriation Of $4,000 for
! Kenosha be included in the bill.
| He has notified the committee that
Ehe. will appear before it personally on
FFriday to argue in favor of appropria-
| tons for buildings at Kenosha and
Beloit. He asks the same sum for
Beloit, but that city is not included IN
original omnibus bill. Congressman
Minor who is member of the COM
rnittee has signifed his willingness to
aid in the securing the appropriations
for the cities In the first district. The
chances for appropriations this year
are regarded good on account of
the fact that = appropriations have
been asked b Y Wisconsin cities and
lit is certa.n that the bill will carry
LESS than half million dollars for
buildings in this state.
Senator Spooner has a bill ready to
present to the senate and it is possible
that Senator LaFol1ette will be ready
to fight for a Kenosha appropriation
when he gets down to work in the
senate.

MET STRANGE DEATH
Julius Badtke, of Salem, Struck
BY a Falling Tree and Is
Killed Instantly
SON HAS A NARROW ESCAPE


julius Badke, we'll known farmer
residing on the E. M. Shields farm liz
the town of Bristol, met strange
death on Monday when he was crush
ed to death under a falling tree. A
coroner's jury called to investigate
the death of the man returned a YER
dict of accidental death. The funeral
will be held from the late residence
on Wednesday afternoon.
Badtke, who was IS years of age,
and his son, William Badtke, had gone
out into the woods to chop wood for
use in the house. They had chopped
off a big tree and were preparing to
pull it to the ground when in some
way it was caught in the branches of
another tree near by and it seemed to
be firmly lodged. The father and
son began to devise plan for pulling
down the tree and while they were
standing under it the tree fell with a
crash.
There was no warning to the two
men and they had no time to get out
of the wy. Fortunately the son was
standing little to the right of the
tree and he was knocked down and
badly bruised by the branches, but
his injuries were not considered dam
gerous. The falling tree struck the
old man on the temple and he was
carried to the ground and crushed un-
der the weight of the tree.
( He must have been instantly killed
as the tree had crushed his skull AS
soon as the boy had recovered from
the shock of the accident he started
to work and removed the tree from
the dead body of his father and after
aid had been secured the body was
carried to the house, a short distance
from the scene of the accident An
examination showed that the skull
had been fractured and the mans
ankle and leg had been broken.
Badtke had lived at the farm but a
short time but he was well liked
among the people of the neighbor-
hood, and many people hurried to the
house to offer aid to the members of
the family. Doctors were hurried1y
summoned from Bristol to attend the
injuries of the younger man, and an
examination showed that they were
not serious.
Later one of the Justices of the
Peace in the town was called and
jury was empane1ed to investigate the
cause of the mans death. The jury
returned a verdict of accidental
death.
Badtke was formerly resident of
Ripon and he is said to have belonged
to we'll known family in that por-
ton Of the STATE. He was a native of
Germany. He is survived by widow
and several children.

THE FINAL pow WOW
Creditors of MADDEN Rodee Commission
Co. Hold Final Meeting Monday

Creditors of Hadden- ROdee Commission
Co. Hold Final Meeting Monday
The creditors of the defunct Had
den-Rodee Commission company, a
dozen of whom are from Kenosha met
for their final pow WOW in Milwaukee
Monday afternoon, and by hard efforts
managed 10 vote a dividend of one
per cent in final settlement of all of
the claims against the firm. The
claims filed against the estate of the
bankrupt firm amounted to over $780,
coo. When the expenses of settling
up the business had been figured up
and generous fee allowed to the
lawyers, there was almost nothing to
divide among the creditors and the
attorney for the trustee in generous
manner offered to give up enough
of his fee to allow the payment of the
pa1try one per cent.
The meeting was an exciting one
in that some of the Milwaukee
creditors of the defunct company
called Trustee E1mergreen to task
and intimated that the trustee had
falsifed the facts in regard to his
trust. AS a result of these claims
made by the Milwaukee creditors, the
credi sors voted that the trustee should
prepare a new itemized report before
the business was finally wound up.
This will not, however, affect the Ke-
nosha creditors in any way nor in
crease the amount of their dividends
from the defunct firm.
The trustees report included bill
for his attorneys services for 81, 222.
The trustee wants $500. There
we're disbursements Of 1910 in mis-
cellaneous expenses. The total
realized from the assets is S5,023.11.
The trustee disbursed 1886 80 In max
ing collections. The claims against
the estate amount to nearly 100000,
distributed among about $50 creditors.
There is almost nothing left for dis
tribution after the trustee and his
attorney receive their remuneration
for services.
w. A. Hayes, attorney for the
trustee, has offered to cut down his
bill to allow the payment of dividend
amounting to per cent.

MEET AWARDED TO BELOIT
state Y.M.C. A. Championship Games
Go to State Line Town

The annual indoor meet for the
Young Mems Christian Association
Championship of the state will be
held in Be1oit on March Is. A NUM-
Der of places we're after the big event,
but as the games have not been held
in that section Of the state for several
years it was decided to award the
meet to the state line town.
Although the Wisconsin association
athletic committee has not announced
the fist of events for the meet, it is
probable that the program will be as
follows: Pole vault, running high
jump, 80 yard dash, II pound shotput,
mile run, and mile relay race for four
men. The state basketball champion
ship may be decided the same night
between the Milwaukee Central Z. M.
c. A. five and the Oshkosh team IN
case the northerners should put in a
claim for the honor.
