NOW SEEKING OPTIONS
Officials of Chicago & Milwaukee Seek
ing Land for Right of Way


That the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railway Co., building its
lines between Kenosha and Racine,
west of Mound cemetery. intend to
enter Racine, if possible, there seems
to no logger be any doubt, although
President Frost, of the corporation, is
quoted with having denied this state
fnent or claim.
Fred w. Guenther, of the Guenther
Co.. owns the land running from the
right Of way of the railway, east on
Eighteenth street to the city of Ra-
cine, along south of the Mitchell Mo-
tor Co. This land has been plated
into lots and the market price is from
$500 to $500 per lot. Recon ~ repre-
sentatives of the railway called upon
Mr.. Guenther and asked to see the
plat of this property.
1t was shown to them and prices of
lots taken down. While no options
we're asked or given, the agents in
formed Mr.. Guenther that they would
see him later. The impression pre-
walls That in due time an effort will be
made 70 enter the city by way of
Eighteenth street.
Farmers and others who are in po,
sition 10 know, state that the road will
carry freight and that large quanti-
ties of cabbage from Kenosha county
will be shipped if connections can be
made with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway. and il IS the desire
Of the Electric company to make con-
nectio1s with this steam line. In the
meantime the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric people are completing the
line between Racine and Kenosha
and are pushing the condemnation
suits to get the right of way north of
that city along to Milwaukee.

The number of passengers who
take the Old Settlers excursion train
from Kenosha is regularly about three
hundred. Que hundred of these will
get off at the ice houses and cut
across lots. The rest will have to de-
pend on transportation from Salem to
the grounds. 1t will require about
twenty rigs with a capacity of ten
persons each, or a less number of rigs
if two trips are made. Bad weather
would Of course diminish the number
of excursionists.

TOO LARGE FOR THE DOORWAY
It Had to be Completed on the Out
side of the Factory-Its
Dimensions.

At a late hour yesterday afternoon
the big dray of the Richmond Casket
Company, labored on its way to the
express Office at the Union Station,
under the burden of a casket, built
to order for a 400 pound man, who
died Tuesday at PEBBLES, O., between
Cincinnati and Portsmouth. This is
the second largest coffin ever made by
the local concern, and one of the ex-
pressmen at the depot on seeing it,
inquired of the drayman, whether the
Richmond Casket Company had gone
into the house moving business.
The order for this casket was re-
ceived yesterday afternoon about 2
o'clock, and work on building it was
at once started. By 5 o'clock the inn
mense coffin was completed, but the
troubles of the workmen who made it
were not ended. The question they
were called upon to solve was get
ting the "jumbo" out of the door
1t was finally necessary to take the
body and the top of the coffin out
separately, and then join them, and
place the casket in its pine box or
the sidewalk. The coffin measures siS
feet in length and twenty-eighi
inches in width.

PARTY is COMING HERE
Randall Morgan Syndicate Is Said To

Traction Line.

A party of men from the Randall
Morgan syndicate, which has repeat
sedly tried to buy the Dayton & West
1ern Traction Company, will come to
this city this week, and from here,
will make an automobile trip to Day
ton, looking FOR right of way for a
line which they propose to build
The syndicate has purchased sew
eral Of the interuban lines out of
dayton, but President Valentine
Winters of the D. & w. will not re-
linquish his stock, and all efforts to
|get control of that road have proven
unsuccessful. 1t is thought that the
talk of building new line from here
Ito Dayton is but a way of forcing
EWinters to sell his road, but the bluff
will probably not take with the d. s

is SENDING OUT LETTERS
Company Is Trying To Get the Gus
toners That the Combine Had
Last Summer.

That there will be an ice war in
this city during the coming summer,
was made even more apparent yester-
day by the letters sent out by the
Independent Ice Company, in which
it urges old customers of the ice COM
bine to become its patrons. The
letter follows:
Richmond, Ind, March 7. 1906.
Mr.. Blank:
The contract under which the Rich
mond Ice Delivery Company is now
operating will expire April 1st, 1906.
For reasons deemed sufficient by the
be renewed; SO that the three ice
companies comprising the Delivery
Company will hereafter do business
separately.
The Independent Ice and Fuel
Company will be prepared from now
on to take care of it's full share of the
ice trade of Richmond, of all classes.
We have purchased another ice MAX
ing machine of the latest and most
approved design, and of equal work
ing capacity to the one now in oper-
alton. The new machine is under
contract to be installed not later than
May 18th next, in ample time to take
care of the increased hot weather
trade. Our total ice making capac-
| ity will thus be increased to thirty
| five tons per day.
This doubling of our capacity has
of course compelled large additional
investment, but by honest and courte-
Gus treatment to all and as prompt
service as the nature of the business

BIDDING ON her ONLY FAIR
Large Crowd Attended the Lackey
Sale Yesterday-The Sales
Aggregated $4,000.

Cambridge City, Ind, March z.
Especial. )-The biggest crowd ever
in attendance at Cambridge City
horse sale filed the Lackey barn here
today. Seventy five horses were sold
bringing a total of $4,000. Bidding
was lively in most cases and nearly
all of the animals brought upwards
\ Of $3.50.
The sale of Princess Manlove at
tracted great deal of attention. AL
though it was announced that the ia
nous young PAGER had been sold to
wv. j. Davis of Chicago, owner of the
Iroquois hotel, it is said that it was
"bought in" by sister of John T.
Manlove of Milton, who owns the
splendid animal.
When the bidding started on the
Princess there were only three buyers
frying to get her. She was started
lat $4,000 and there was no indica-
|tion that she was going to bring big
money. The bidding gradually was
|raised until it reached $4100 and
here it looked good to stop, when sud
denly woman's voice called out
E"$5000." The price was not raised
Nand the Princess gave place to COM
moner stock.
There is nothing "shady" about
|s'ch deal, it is a privilege that any
horNeman, who offers his horse for
sale, at the Lackey sale has. If he
sees that his charge is not bringing
|what he deems it worth, he can bid
lit in, pay the sale fee to Mr.. Lackey
and keep the horse. 1t is said by
|horsemen here tonight that Mr.. Man
love thought too well Of his animal
to let her 60 for anything like $4,000.
H The young horse behaved nicely in
front of the big crowd that was at
{tracted to the sale largely on her ac-
fcount. She was led up the track,
and kept her head just as we'll as she
did last year, when making her great
trial records. It is thought that the
bad showing she made yesterday in
harness, scared several horsemen who
had made up their minds to bid
heavy on the colt.

ORMONDE'S RIGHT
A GOOD MUDDER

The biggest crowd that has been at
Bennings race track this season saw Or
monde's Right beat Angler. Tho winner
is son OF Ormonde, England's greatest
race horse, while Angler is by Hlndoo,
the greatest OF American thoroughbreds.
The struggle was between this pair for
the handicap, and at the finish the blood
OF ''the first horse Of the century" proved
potent, and Ormonde's Right passed his
opponent and beat him, home in a squirt
through the stretch.
The contest between Ormonde's Right
and Angler. the two representatives OF
the best English and American strains OF
blood. aroused great interest among the
club patrons. The meeting OF this pair Of
horses as well as the fact that two rae
ing days had passed without police inter
ference and that II was possible 10 place
a bet. caused a great crowd TO gather at
the track.
A big delegation OF New Workers came
over during the night and early morning
The large increase In the crowd was not
anticipated by the managers, and long be-
fore the first race was called, every pro-
gram was sold.
The betting on the handicap was CON
fined almost entirely to Angler and Or
monde's Right, the other contestants.
