Time-Boarders Robbed


| Efforts are being made to find some
J trace of Mrs. Mary Karpowich, who
disappeared from Kenosha Yesterday
under mysterious circumstances and
It IS alleged that she took with her
cash to the amount of over seven hun
dred dollars. Mrs. Karpowich is the
wife Of William Karpowich, who re-
sides at Az Bond street, aud warrants
have been Issued for her arrest,
charging her with grand larceny.
The Karpowich Fome was nsed as
boarding house at which a nnin0er
OF foreigners lived and it is claimed
that nearly all Of them were victims
Of the woman and that it is possible
that the amount of money secured by
her will reach a thousand dollars.
The husband is the heaviest loser, as
it is claimed that he woman took five
hundred dollars belonging to him.
Mrs. Karpowich was about the
house OF Tuesday morning and gave
no indication of her intention to leave
the CT vi. She prepared breakfast for
the ~ -lnbers Of the household and
lar-1iaed and talked with them before
they left for their days work Short
ly after the men had gone it is alleged
that she made a general examination
Of the rooms of the house, ripping
open satchels and trunks and secur-
ing everything in the way of value
that could be found. These things
are supposed to have been packed in
to grip and taken with the woman.
The woman also .took, the sixteen
months old baby with her.
Karpowich personally made the
complaint In the matter and he al
leges that the woman has gone to New
York with the intention of returning
to her native land. It is just possible
that there may be some romantic
developments In connection with the
disappearance of the woman as it is
limited that some one not her husband
may have planned for the grand coup.
AS the people are all foreigners
the officials are having some trouble
in getting out the whole story in con-
nection with the woman. Efforts |
have been made to trace her but thus |
far the officials have. found absolutely |
no trace. So far as can be learned
no woman answering her description |
left over the Northwestern for Chica.

caught a car and went to some station
south and then took train for the
city. AS she is we'll supplied with
money the woman should find little
trouble IN reaching, New York or any
other point for which she is bound.
III the meantime there is weeping,
waiting aud crashing OF teeth among
the people who lived at he Eond
street house and 1t is safe to say that
they will take every possible step to
locate and arrest the woman. The
woman had previously borne good
reputation and her husband is almost
crazed by her action.
When seen this morning Karpowich
stated that he had trusted his wife
implicitly and that he was stunned by
her action in proving untrue to him.
He stated that he had saved $500 and
that his wife had always carried it
with her in order to have it safe
guarded against robbers. He had
just cents left when he discovered
that his wife had fed
The husband declared that his wife
had no gentleman friends in this sec
ton of the country but that she had
lots of friends in New York who
would be willing to assist her in
spending the money. He is of the
opinion that the woman is now on her
way to New York and urged the Off
GERS to send kilograms to the New
York police iii an effort to intercept
her there. Mrs. karpowich was "a
years of and is said to have been an
attractive woman.
