Three Young Men from Waldo,
Wis, Arrested on Charges
of Horse Stealing
STARTED TO SEE THE WORLD
Stole Horse and Rig Which They At.
tempted to Sell to Men in the Town
of Somers; Men Turned Them
Over to the Police

Ennis Dyke, Leo Long, and Carl
Wilcox, all boys of tender age and
members of well known families of
the village of Waldo, Wis, sobbed in
cells at the county jail this morning
awaiting the coming of Jacob Minch,
a constable from Waldo, who took
them back to their home to answer to
a charge of horse stealing. The boys
were taken into custody by Constable
Nelson of the town of Somers on
Monday and when placed in the sweat
box by Chief O'Hare and Police Off,
Ger Newhouse on Monday evening
they made full confession of their
crimes and asked that the officials at
Waldo be notified.
The boys had started out from
Waldo last Friday evening and had
evidently intended to see the world.
Before the start was made they stole
horse and top buggy from a man in
Waldo. After leaving their home
town they drove to South Milwaukee,
where they made an effort to dispose
of the horse. For two nights and two
days they drove about the country
without having any rest or sleep and
early Monday they arrived at Somers.
They went to the store of Bullamore
brothers and offered the horse for sale
and Mr.. Bullemore, being suspicious
of the crowd, notified Chief O'Hare of
this city. O'Hare telephoped him to
arrest the boys and bring them to
| Kenosha. In the meantime the boys
had left Somers aud had started to
drive to Chicago but they were so
worn out that they abandoned the
horse and buggy between Kenosha
and Somers and when the constable
/ found them they were all fast asleep
along the road. He brought them in
to Kenosha.
When the ooys were searched it was
found that they were well equipped.
Two of them had revo1vers, while
they carried in boxes large supplies
of cartridges. The boys stated that
they were attempting to get into Chi
cago, where they thought that it
would be an easy matter for them to
dispose of the horse and buggy.
In the list of articles turned over to
the police were. two gold watches, two
revolvers, some cheap jewe1ry and
whole lot of miscellaneous articles.
Chief of Police O'Hare at once wired
the officials of Waldo of the confess
sion made by the boys and Constable
Minch arrived today to take them
back for trial.
The arrest of the boys is said to
have caused great sensation at
Waldo as they were all well known
there. It is evident that this was the
first experience of jail service for
them and they cried like children
when locked up.

THE FIRST CONCERT
Zion City Band Gives First of a
Series Of Concerts on Market
Square Monday Evening
THOUSANDS HEAR FINE MUSIC

The Zion City band, under the direc-
ton of r. S. Bosworth, gave the first
of series of concerts on Market
Square Monday evening and from the
number of people present at the first
concert it's evident that the series
will be the most popular series of en-
teri ainments ever given in the city.
Fully 5000 people surrounded the
square and remained here until the
last number on the program had been
played.
The band is one of the most re-
markable musical organizations in
the northwest and no more perfect
music is played by any band. Con-
ductor Bosworth is master as con-
ductor and the men under him are all
competent musicians. The program
Monday night was varied one in
Guiding all sorts of music from c1assi-
Cal selections down to popular waltz
melodies. The features of the con-
cert we're the cornet solos by Conduc-
tor Bosworth and the vocal solos by
Mr.. Thomas. The latter was forced
to respond to an encore twice during
the evening.
The series of concerts will be con-
tinued during the summer. The pro-
pram for the opening concert was as

BLANK TIE OLIVERS
kenosha Baseball Team Wins a
Great Came From Woodstock
Team Sunday Afternoon
VISITORS PLAY PERFECT GAME

In one of the best games of baseball
ever seen on a Kenosha diamond the
,Kenosha team shut out the Oliver
team, of Woodstock, Sunday after
noon by score of 2 to 0. In many
ways the game was a emarkab1e one,
for while the divers played perfect
ball and the Kenosha boys had two
errors charged to them, the brilliant
pitching of Pulse and the brilliant
work Of Loeb1e in the field brought
the victory to Kenosha. Pulse had
his first real try-out for Kenosha
in this game, and it is the general be-
lief of the fans that Pulse is lust the
man needed. The batters from Wood
stock are famous, and yet Pulse held
the visitors to five hits and struck out
eleven men. Time and again the Wis
itors got men on bases, but Pulse
steadied down and managed to retire
the side. Loeb1e played a great game
in the field Sunday, accepting three
hard chances without an error, q
For five innings the score keeper
was kept busy putting up ciphers on
the score board, but in the last half
of the sixth the Kenosha boys got
busy, and hits by Hedding, Pnlse,
| Loeb1e and Laabs made the two
runs necessary to win the game pos
sible. The game was an exciting one
and the decision was not with Keno
sha until the last man was out in the
ninth inning. A crowd of $500 peo-
pie Witnessed the game. The score:

MYSTERY IN COAST SURVEY
Typographical Survey to be Made Be.
tween Kenosha and Milwaukee

Typographical Survey to be Made Be-
tween Kenosha and Milwaukee
A typographical survey is to be
made along the lake shore from Keno
sha to Milwaukee by either govern
ment or railroad engineers, who ar
rived in Racine Saturday. The en-
gineers refuse to give out any infor-
nation. When questioned as to the
purpose they protested ignorance.
There is belief that a railroad
company is employing the engineers
to make the survey to connect with
one made some years ago to a point
five miles south of Kenosha. Others
believe that the survey is being made
for the government. IF the survey is
for railroad company, the line will
pass through the residences of RAJ
cine's wea1thiest people and through
the principal business portion. No
one is allowed to enter the rooms oc.
cupied by the engineers.
The members of the engineering
party are r. B. Budd and Fred H.
Parry of Kingston, Pa, and George M.
Brown of Princeton, N. ]. Mr.. Budd
is the chief of the party, but he will
give out no information; and the other
two claim that they are employed by
Mr.. Budd and know not for what pur-
pose the surveys are being made. A
drafting table has been rented from
Racine party and an. order for 1900
stakes has been given to be used along
the lake shore where the surveys will
be made, but for what object the en-
gineers alone know.

steaders.

DR.. W. b. Withrow, of Inter
national Falls, and G. S. Romans,
a constable living on the Little
Fork river, near international
Falls, passed through Bemidji
yesterday afternoon, enroute to
Grand Rapids, where they were
taking a man named Alfred
Johnson, whose mental equilibri-
um has been sadly out Of plumb,
of late.
Johnson has a claim on the
Little Fork river, a few miles
from international Falls, and
first came to that country two
years ago. He was of d quiet
disposition and never mingled
much with the few other home
steaders in that vicinity. He left
the community about a year ago,
and returned to his home last fall.
- A few weeks after his return
he began acting queerly, but no
particular attention was paid to
his actions until during the last
month. Two weeks ago, be dis.
carded his shoes and hat and
took to the woods, and has since
that time wandered along the
Little Fork country, with dis
heveled hair, lacerated feet and
face cut, a Withholding being
resembling an animal. ...-
Johnson was possessed of the
ideathat the Indians who have
been camping along the Little
Fork were going to kill him, and
he firmly believed that an Indian
could change himself into a dog,
at will. His rawlings we're terrible,
and he has frightened every
homesteader in the country.
He was not seen from Sunday,
