OVERCOME BY GAS
Andrew 0Ieson, a Pleasant Prairie
Farmer, Found Unconscious in
q Room at Hotel Fischer
WATCHMAN SAVES MANS LIFE

Andrew Oleson, farmer residing In
the town Of Pleasant Prairie, was
found IN an unconscious condition in
a room at Hotel Fischer at clock
this morning. He had been overcome
by gas and was very near to death.
DR.. Kimba1l was hastily summoned to
the hotel by the night Waterman, and
after working at the man for more
than an hour he managed to restore
him to consciousness. Oleson is still
sick man, but he will recover.
The Pleasant Prairie man owes his
life to Night Waterman Herbert Mil
lager. The official is employed to
watch the hotel, and when he started
on his rounds OF the different floors
this morning he was attracted oy the
groans of O1eson and he hurried to
break in the door. Oleson was laying
across the bed suffering great pain.
From gas jet the gas was flowing
without interruption and the room was
completely filled with the fumes.
The people at the hotel we're hur-
riedly summoned and windows were
opened and the Waterman went il
search of doctor.
Oleson had gone to the hotel early
Sunday evening and had been as
signed to room for the night. He
then went out to visit with some of
his Kenosha friends and the people at
the hotel did not know when he re
tired. He had not been accustomed
to the use of gas, and when he re-
tired for the night he blew out the
gas. After the man had been restored
to consciousness he suffered from ex-
IRENE nausea. There is no reason to
believe that Oleson had any idea of
committing suicide, and his plight
was due wholly to the fact that he had
no knowledge of the use Of gas.
Oleson is employed on the Dowse
farm and he will probably return to
his farm work this evening. It is
probable that he will keep out of city
hotels until after he has learned the
wiles of Illuminating gas.

Well Known Wagon Maker Died
at His Home on Market St.
Sunday Morning
LONG A RESIDENT OF CITY
Leader In the Work of the German
Methodist Church and Superin-
tendent of Sunday School for
Over Thirty Years

Fred L. Becker, the Market Square
wagon maker and one of the pioneer
residents of the city, died at his home
on Market street at an early hour on
Sunday morning after long illness
from bronchial troubles. Mr.. Becker
had been i'll for many months aud his
death was not unexpected to friends
who had been watching at his bed
side.
Frederick Ludwig Becker was born
in Freidenwa1d, Prussia, German, on
March 10, 1889 He came to Kenosha
with his mother in 1852 and had been
a resident of the city ever since that
time Shortly after he came here Mr..
Becker went to work in the Balm
Wagon works where he learned the
trade of a blacksmith. He was en-
ployed in the factory for many years,
but more than quarter Of century
ago he opened his own wagon making
shop on Market Square. The shop is
one of the old land marks of the city.
During his business life in Keposha
Mr.. Becker had won the esteem of all.
A man strictly honest, his word was
as good as his bond. He had large
business among all classes of people
in the city and county and held the
highest respect of his customers.
The death of Mr.. Becker comes as
a hard blow to the German Methodist
church for he occupied place in the
church that will be hard one to fill.
When the German Methodist congre-
cation was organized more than fifty
years ago Mr.. Becker was one Of the
original members. He was a devout
Christian man and always took a
great interest in the advancement of
the church in Kenosha and in the
state.
He was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the church for more than
thirty years, and for similar time
he had been the uperintendent of
the Sunday school. He was great
friend d the children of the congre-
cation and had done much to advance
their interests.
Politically, Mr.. Becker was Re
publican and he had held an honored
place in the party. He had been
elected a member of the Board of
Education and until two years ago he
had been a member of the county
Board of Supervisors.
In 1868 Mr.. Becker was married to
Miss Wi1helmine Baumann of Wau-
kegan, who died in the winter of 1890.
In 1898 Mr.. Becker married Miss
Minnie Schumacher of this city, who
survives him.
The surviving children are Edward
c. and Fred of Kenosha, Frank and
Charles who are employed by the
United States Government at Wash
ington, and Mrs. G. Hansche Of this

NOT THE RIGHT MAN
Farmers of Bristol Believed They
had Frank J. Constantine but
had the Wrong kMan
SHERIFF HAS RIOT CALI

There was all kinds of excitement
in Kenosha this morning when it was
reported that Frank J. Constantine,
wanted in Chicago for the murder Of
Mrs. A. w. Gentry, had been taken
into custody on the farm of William
Riley, just south of the city. The re-
port was brought to Kenosha by
of the town Of Bristol. Adams has
been closely following the Constantine
hunt from the start and when he
came to the city he informed the Off
Gals that there was no doubt but that
the man had at last been located.
Sheriff Veitch got hurry:up call and
he managed to get aboard a car on
the Chicago & Milwaukee road and
hurried to the Riley farn,,in company
with Adams. In the meantime there
was lots of excitement in the city.
Deputy sheriffs and police officers
walked the streets keeping'their eyes
open for the return of the sheriff and
Ibis distinguished prisoner. Turnkey
|Lineweber up at the jail polished up
the handle Of the big front door AMI
got one of the cells on the second
floor of the jail in condition for the
coming of the much wanted man.
Deputies hurried to the jail to prefer
their services in keeping a watch
over Constantine" until he could be
turned over to the Chicago officials
and kilograms we're hurried1y sent to
Chicago officials that they should be
in readiness for action. Just about
that time the bubble bursted.
The deputies. who hadsgone to the
jail had gathered in front Of the
county hotel to await the coming Of
the sheriff. AS the car came tearing
down Market street its.1ooked.as if q
capture had really been made bI;
when it stopped lat the jailIthe sheriff
swung off the back platform. He
was unaccompanied. Even Adams
had been left in Bristol. The
deputies and other officials gathered
round their chief onlysto learn that
he had made wild goose chase and
had found no trace of Constantine.
The big picture of Constantine
which had been hangingssin the jail
was hung up again and the officials
took up the old monotony.
The sheriff failed to have a great
deal to say III regard to the case. He
stated, however, that the mar on the
Riley farm looked about,as mach like
Constantine as some Of the pictures
published Saturday resemb1ed the
daughter of the president. The man
was As years of age, weighed zoo
pounds and was an ice cutter and bore
absolutely no resemblance to the man
wanted in Chicago for murder. He
had been employed at the Riley farm
for three weeks and had been paid off
this morning. Riley told the sheriff
that there was absolutely no con-
nection between Constantine and the
poor laborer and the sheriff took the
first car back to Kenosha.

BUILD LARGE PLANT
Cross 8 Neergaard Erecting a
Big Sash and Door Plant on
Valentine Street
AID FOR THE CONTRACTORS

Ground has been broken for the
erection of large sash and door mill
for the firm of Gross & Neergaard and
it will be ready for business about the
first of June. The new mill is located
on Valentine street just north of the
plant Of the Cooper Underwear com
pany. The buildings will be of brick.
two stories in height and fire proof.
The company is planning to expend
more than ten thousand dollars in
buildings and equipment. Both Gross
and Neergaard have been in business
in Kenosha for number of years and
both are successful planning mill men.
Two years ago they started in bust
ness at the old Lippert Foundry
building and their business has grown
so rapidly that a new plant has been
found necessary. The new factory
will have greater capacity than any
plant working in the city in this line
of business.
For some time the building interests
in Kenosha have been growing at
such rapid rate that it has been i'm
possible for the planning mills to sup
ply mill stuff for the buildings. The
mills are always from a week to six
months behind on their orders, and it
seems with the present capacity it
will be impossible for them to meet
the demand for mill work during the
coming year.
During the year just closed contrac-
tors finding it impossible to secure the
delivery of mill work in Kenosha have
been forced to purchase mill work
from Milwaukee houses, and it is
stated on authoritative basis that one
Milwaukee mill had contracts of over
$1,000 in Kenosha during the past
year.
These Milwaukee companies are
now sending travelling men into Keno
sha weekly in order to get a line on
this large business. Nearly all of the
contracto would prefer to trade with
home mills but they declare that it is
impossible for Kenosha mills to meet
the demand. The large mill of the
Gross & Neergaard company will
greatly relieve this lack of mill stuff
The new plant is to be ready for oper-
alton by the first of next June.
