May Build Fishing Town

A Port Townsend dispatch says
that number of cannerymen and
fish trap operators of the lower Sound
have pooled interests under the lead
ership of E. A. Sims, an extensive
operator OF that city, and are plan
ming the establishment of a common
center where they may be supplied.
The plan involves the building of a
new town, which for it's nucleus will
have such industries as a shipyard,
web or fish net yard, machine shops
ald general supply depot.
Several sites are under consider.
alton, but some point on Lopez island
is favored by Mr.. Sims. At least
$50, 900 will be expended at the start,
but parties interested figure that
half that sum can be saved the first
year by getting away from paying
middlemen's profits.

at the home of the brides parents at
Fonda, Iowa, July 3. They will soon
be ''at home" to friends here in the

''The supper was served in courses
while the guests were seated around
long table that had a very unique
decoration in the center of it. It
consisted of an island constructed
upon the bright smooth surface of a
large mirror, that gave to all the
guests a striking representa- tion Of
San Juan Island, with it's principal
harbor at the town of Friday Harbor,
where was erected a tall mast in
tended to represent the tall wireless
telegraph mast constructed in 1903
under the superintendent of Mr..
Gus. T. Swensen, formerly Of Fonda.
1t contained also representation OF
the block house constructed by the
English garrison, that for consider
able time in the days of its early
settlement held one-half the island
from from the Americans; Roche
Harbor with it's thirteen limekilns
and quarry, that furnishes most of
the lime used for commercial purposes
along that northern part of the Pa
cifc Coast, and many other matters
of interest relating to this Island"

Racine Lads Hunting Along Pike
Greek Dig up the Remains Of
an unknown Man.
SUPPOSE TO HAVE HUNG SELF
Seems TO Indicate That the Man Had
Died the Death Of Snicide-His
Identity is Not Known.


Walter Hansen and Lars Christian
sen, two Racine boys, made a CHASTITY
discovery on Thursday while hunting
along Pike creek north of this city,
when they came across pile of hui
man bones. The boys had climbed
over a fence and had started to cross
a gully, when they stepped on the
bones. Carefully looking into the
matter, they found that the bones in
cluded a jawbone, several ribs, the
bones Of the leg and number Of hui
man teeth. Near the scene where the
bones were found they found rope
tied to sapling and it had evidently
at one time been connected with the
bones.
The matter was reported to the cor
oner of Racine county and it is prob
able that he will ask the coroner of
this county to investigate. 1t is evil
dent that the bones are those of ma n
and they had undoubtedly been in
that spot for several years, as they
had dried up. The skull and several
other parts of the skeleton were miss
ing, and it is supposed that they had
been carried away by dogs or some
Iother animals roaming through the
woods along the creek.
There is no way to discover the
identity of the man. However, the
fact is recalled that some four years
ago a young farm hand WHO had been
working in the cabbage patches in
the neighborhood of Berryvil1e dis
appeared, and although a search for
him was carried on for several weeks,
no trace of him was ever found. The
man was tramp when he came to the
neighborhood, and SO far as can be
learned no one ever went to the
trouble Of finding out his name. He
was good workman, but he was a
great ,drinker, and when he disap-
peared the farmer for whom he had
been working owed him for month S
work. AT the time it was thought
possible that the man had committed
suicide, but although search of the
country about the farm was made no
trace of the remains was ever found.
The spot where the remains we're
found is several miles from Berryville
and it is now thought that the man
went out into the woods and hanged
himself.
The farmers in the neighborhood
have been considerably worked up
over the matter and an effort is being
made to throw some further light on
the matter. The bones have been
gathered together by the people OF
the neighborhoods and as soou as
action is taken in connection with the
case they will be buried. It is possible
that the mystery connected with the
case will never be solved.

TELLS A SAD STORY
Mrs. Frances Booker Finds a Sad
Ending to Her Marriage to
James Booker
BRIDE OF MONTH DESERTED

The police of the city are making
every possible effort to find some
trace Of James Booker, who disap-
peared from the city on last Saturday
afternoon, and the facts in connection
with the case, as they have been pre-
sented to the police, are such that
Booker will be given hot reception
If he is ever ught back to Kenosha.
Kenosha has lots Of wife deserters in
year, but it is rare that case like
the Booker one is found. Mrs.
Booker, the deserted wife, is now in
the city, and she has told a story to
the police which has aroused them to
action.
Mrs. Booker is cripple and she is
unable to move without the aid of
crntches, but Notwithstanding that
fact her husband deserted her and
left her penniless and among stran-
gers. The wife was formerly Mrs.
Frances Fehling, of Chicago, and She
ago last Monday. Just before the
wedding Mrs. Fehling had gone to a
hospital suffering from broken leg,
and Booker, who had formerly boarded
with her in Chicago, insisted that she
leave the hospital to marry him. He
brought his bride to Kenosha on the
day after the wedding and had since
reproached her because she would not
GO to work aud earn her bread. Added
to this, it is alleged that Booker at
tempted to besmirch the character Of
his wife by declaring to men with
whom he had worked that the woman
was not his wife. This story was
generally circulated among the peo-
pie boarding at the same house as
Mrs. Booker, and in order to show the
per6dy of the man who was her hus-
band Mrs. Booker secured the follow
ing from we'll known Catholic cler-
gyman in Chicago:
Holy Family Church, Pastoral Resi-
dence, 407 West Twelfth street, Chi
cago, Sept. Is, 1906.
To All Concerned:- Be it known
that on the 18th day Of August, 1906,
Mr.. James Booker and Mrs. Frances
Fehling were married by me in Chi
cago. In testimony whereof I attach
my signature and the seal of the Holy
Family church in the city Of Chicago.
(Signed) JOHN f. O'CoNNoR,
(SeaL) S.
This letter and another letter from
Father O'Connor prove that Mrs.
Booker has been basely slandered,
and the people who have met the
woman since she came to Kenosha
are aiding her in every possible way.

VERY LARGE ATTENDANCE
Increase of Over 100 Students at Uni
versity of Wisconsin

Increase of Over 100 Students at Uni
versity of Wisconsin
The preliminary registration at the
University of Wisconsin is the largest
in the history of the university.
There is an increase thus far of 1O3
students over the number enrolled at
the same time last year. All depart
naents show substantial gains. An
unusually large number of students
have entered the junior and senior
classes of the colleges of letters and
science and engineering with adj
vanced standing from other universe
ties. The indications now point to a
total enrolment for the year Of over
-, 700 students. The preliminary reg
istration in the college of engineer
ing is 763, an increase of "A over the
sponding time last year. The
number of students in the college of
letters and science thus far is 1872,
an increase of 81. Tile colleges of
agriculture and pharmacy also show
substantial gains. The students are
still registering daily, and indications
are that the increase in attendance
will continue to grow.
