PEARLS AT WILMOT
Fox River Being Raked for CLANS
and 1t Is Claimed That Work
ers Are Making Big Wages
OLD MAN GUARDS SECRET

People who>have been out in the
neighborhood of the Fox river about
Wilmot during the past few days, de-
clare that this little Kenosha county
stream is filled with CLAIMS bearing
fresh water pearls and it is possible
that the industry of pearl fishing may
yet become quite renumerative to the
people living in that neighborhood.
Up to the present time one lone man
is engaged in the business. of pearl
fishing on the Fox river, but it is
claimed that he has met with great
success. A short time ago the old
man came to Wilmot. No one knew
from whence he came and he was de-
cidedly communicative, but on the
following day he fitted up barge
and went out on the river and began
to rake the river for clans. He now
has CLAIMS piled all along the bank
and is opening them for pearls. Ken
osha people went. out, to the camp
of the old man day or SO ago and he
showed them a collection Of pearls
WHICH ne ndQ TAKEN 1IO1u Tie CAdl1S
raked from the river. In the handful
of pearls were number as large as a
bean and it is claimed that they are
of great value. The pearls are of
finest color and it is claimed that they
are superior to the pearls gathered
from the Mississippi river. These
pearls are not as valuable as the deep
water pearls, but they are rapidly
gaining favor with jewelers. and it is
possible that the Fox river will yet
yield fortunes for the people owning
property along the river.
For years people living along the
Mississippi river in the neighborhood
of the Lacrosse have been making
money by gathering the pearls.
Wi1mot is not in any way excited
over the finds of the old man, but it is
a noticeab bic fact that scows are being
built by other property owners and it
is expected that the Fox will be pretty
thoroughly raked within the next few
months.

TURNOCK SELLS OUT
Karnes Brothers Purchase Well
known Rowland Avenue Grocery

Karnes Brothers Purchase Well
known Rowland Avenue Grocery
Chas. Turnock has sold his grocery
business to Ralph and James Karnes,
Jr. The new firm will be known as
Karnes Bros, and will take possession
at once.
The building, which IS one of the
most modern store buildings in the
city, is still owned by Mr.. Turnock,
but all interest in the grocery bust
ness has been turned over to the new
firm. The wholesale candy business
will still be retained by Mr.. Turnock
and Mr.. Ti11otson will have charge of
it as before.
Mr.. Turnock, who has been in the
grocery business for over six years,
has accepted position in the new
office of the Chicago Brass company,
and thinks he will like Office work
better than the grocery business, al
though office work is not new to him
as he used to be employed at the Malt
house as bookkeeper.
The sale Of the store will come as a
great surprise to the friends Of Turn
ock and Karnes Bros, as nothing was
known Of the sale until Saturday
night.

BALLO0NIsT MEETS HIS FATE
Parachute Fails TO Work Properly
and He Falls About L 900 Feet and
Is Fatally Wounded.

Utica. n. x, Aug. s. William
Johnson, balloonist, made an ascen-
sion in connection with street fair
in Little Falls. In coming down with
a parachute the apparatus failed to
work and Johnson fell upon the rail-
road tracks, receiving injuries which
undoubtedly will cause his death.
Johnson went up to a great height,
and it is estimated that he was 5000
feet high when he left the balloon to
make what is called double para
chute descent.
The first parachute opened well and
Johnson descended about tWO-thirds of
the distance. Then he attempted to
open the second parachute and de-
scend the remainder of the distance
with that, but it collapsed, and he shot
downward very rapidly. The thou
sands who were watching him were
horror-stricken. His spine was frac-
tured at the base of the brain.

Local Labor Organizations to Take
No Official Part in Campaiga
for County'N Nominations
MAY WORK FOR LEGISLATORS

Leaders among the laboring men oE
Kenosha declare that the statement
which has been made to the effect
that the local Trades and Labor Fed
GRAFTON would'gtake part in the
primary campaign is without fouuda-
ton. These men insist that the labor
ers will not go into politics. At the
recent meeting of the National FEEDER
alton of Labor it was decided by the
federation that the laboring mem
would go into politics to the extent OF
urging the election of congressman
state senators and representatives. Id
the various states who were friendly
to the cause of labor, but it was
definitely stated that this did not
give local declarations the right to-
mix in local political fights.
Well known 1aboring men of Keno
sha are found on both the Democratic
and Republicanss primary tickets and
any effort to bring this vote to any
clique of candidates will cause a hos
fight among the union men. While
the 1aborer has the right to take his
choice of political candidates many OF
the men who have done much for
union labor in Kenosha declare that
this choice must not be made the
choice of the united.unions. There is
no attempt on theipart Of these meg
to prevent the 1aboring men working
for favorite candidates, but they in
sist that the unions should take no
official action.
So far as can be learned the local
trade and labor council ihas as yet
taken no step to endorse any of the
local candidates for congress, state
senate or the assembly, and IL
such an endorsement was given it Is
not probable that it would be made
public. All of the candidates foe
these offices are making strong plea
for the labor vote.
It will be a hard matter for the
labor vote to be controlled even If
official action should be taken by the
Trades and Labor council and It Is
present that the laborers will declare
their freedom as in the past and vote
for the man who they consider best
fitted for the office regardless of the
dictation of any man or body of meue

MET AWFUL INJURY
Torger Mithun Employed at the
JeAery Co. has Arm Terribly
Mangled in a Machine
AMP UTATI0N WAS NECESSARY.

Torger Mithun, boy nineteen years
of age, employed in the machine room
at the Thomas B. Jeffrey company's

yesterday afternoon, when his left
-armswas drawn in gearing machine

ner his arm became caughtin the ma
schinery. The flesh and bones were
terribly mangled. AS soon as possi-
bic the machinery was stopped and
the boy removed to the hospital. The
boy showed great nerve, for notwith-
standing his terrible injury, he
walked to the Office Of the plant and
got into machiue and was taken to
the hospital.
AS soon as possible DR.. H. A. Rob-
inson was called to attend the injured
boy. It was found that the arm had
been so terribly 1acerated that It
would be impossible to save It and
other physicians were called in and
aided in the amputation of the arm at
the elbow. Mithur stood the opera
tlon with great fortitude and today
the physicians believe that thereis no
danger of his dying from the accident.
