Joseph Ven, a Chicago Man,
Lands in Jail on a Charge
Of Burglary
CHARGED WITH L0EF ROBBERY
Man Was Telling Companions How He
Had Broken the Window at the
Place When He Was Heard by
Son of Proprietor

The old story of the parrot who
in the case of Joseph Ven, Chicago
man, who now occupies a cell in the
Kenosha county jail charged with
the crime Of burglary. He was ar
rested late Friday evening by Con-
stable Thomas Holland and is charged
with having burglarized the resi-
dence Of Joseph I4oef on Prairie ave
nue. on the night Of May A.
Ven was taken before Justice Nc
Carron this morning and while he
stoutly asserted his innocence of the
crime he was held for hearing. the
case being continued for ten days and
Ven being sent back to jail in default
of bonds of $500 demanded by the
court.
Ven is railroad laborer aDd from
decidedly proud of the job done at
the Loef saloon and residence. Fri
day night JUST after O'Clock Ven
and two men, supposed to have been
railway 1aborers, walked past the
Loef place on the railway tracks and
Ven pointed out the window and told
his companions how he had broken
it and how easy and successful the
job had been. A son Of Loef hap
pened to be walking along the track
at the same time and he heard the
condolences of the men and at once
hurried to the saloon and informed
his father of the story. Thomas Hol-
land, the constable, was summoned
and in a short time he managed to
locate and arrest Ven.
In court this morning Ven was long
on profanity and his curses were both
loud and deep. He declared IN no un-
certain language that his arrest was
an outrage on an honest workingn1an
and insisted that he had never been IN
Kenosha until Friday afternoon. He
said that lie had been at work on the
railway to the west of the city and
had quit his job. He had been order
| ed to come to Kenosha to get his
money, and while he was waiting for
| his time to be sent in he had walked
ont on the track with the other men.
He declared that the story Of the Win
dow had been told by Bohemian, who
was with him, but young Loci, who
was in court, stated that he could not
| have been mistaken and that it was
| Ven who had declared that he had
| broken the window.
The burglary which Ven is accused
of having been connected with was of
most daring nature. Loef had closed
up his place of business just after 10
O'Clock and when he returned to the
place an hour later he found that the
window had been broken and the
place burglarized. The matter was
reported to the police but no clue had
been found to the identity of the
guilty parties until the conversation
| was heard by young Loci.
The officials are making al effort to
Investigate the record of Ven. He
claims to come from the Ha1sted street
section III Chicago, and declares that
he is well-known in that section of the
metropolis.

A Poser For Paul.

A story is being related Of Paul Dli
ChailIu, the one time African explorer,
to this effect: One evening when re-
turning home on foot he observed d
man evidently rather the worse for
drink who was engaged in vehemently
embracing lamp post. Disengaging
him with some difficulty, the explorer
started co take him to his home, the
location of which the man was still
able to remember. Having finally
reached their destination, the bibulous
one affectionately grSsped Paul Du
Chaillu by the hand, exclaiming in
tones of fervent gratitude:
Il shay, OF Teller, yoush all right.
Whatsh your hic-nameY
AS the explorer did not particularly
care to give his name in full he merely
replied that it was Paul.
so sh-hic-Paul, ish it?'' hic-
coughed the man, and then after some
moments of apparent thought inquired
solicitously:
SHAY, OF man, did y'eyer get any
hic-any ansher to those lo-ong lettersh
" wrote to tn Ephesians ?'-New York
Times.

Masons Of Kenosha Complete
Arrangements for Institution
Of Lodge of K. 7.
W. W. STRONG AT THE HEAD
New Commandery Will Do Its First
Work on the Second Wednesday
in June and Will Have Charter
Membership of Fifty-six

Right Eminent Grand Commander
Merton Herrick, of Hudson, has
issued a special dispensation for the
organization Of Commandery of the
Knight Temp1ars in Kenosha, and
the new Commandery whichi is now
fully organized will begin its work on
the second Wednesday IN June. Re-
hearsals of the work are now being
conducted at the Masonic Temple.
The Kenosha Commandery will
start out with a charter membership
of fifty-six. Of this number twenty
FIVE have been members of'the Racine
Commandery, while the other charter
members were selected from among
the prominent members of the Masonic
order in Kenosha.
With the issue of the special dis
pensation the Kenosha Commandery
has elected officers, and the principal
offices will be fil1edgby William Wal
colt Strong as Eminent Commander,
John nj. Keh1or as Generalissimo,
and w. J. Frost as Captain General.
The full list Of officers includes F. H.
Truax, Pre1ate; Melvin r. Warren,
Senior Warden; T. ]. Dale, Junior
Warden; G. G. Brown, Treasuser; Dan
O. Head, Recorder; Warren T. Ham
let, Standard Bearer; Francis v.
Piper, Sword Bearer; James S. Barr,
Warder, and r. E. Wilkinson, Senti-
mel
The opening of the Commandery
will not be marked by any special
services, but when the new Command
cry secures it's charter from the Grand
Lodge it is planned to have great
celebration among the Masons of the
city.
For the past ten years plans have
been on foot for the organization of a
Commandery in Kenosha, and to this
end prominent members Of the
Masonic order had gone to Racine to
be initiated into the mysteries of the
order. These men recently held a
meeting at the Masonic Temple and
decided that it was time Kenosha had
a Commandery of her own and the APP
plication for a special dispensation
was at once fled with the state Of
fcials of the Knight Templars.
Since the erection of the new
Masonic Temple in Kenosha, the
Masons have been rapidly increasing
their membership until at the present
time the organization is one of the
strongest secret orders in the city. 1t
is expected that the new Commandery
will be one Of the largest in the state
and while the present charter roll
contains but ffty-six names it is ex-
pected that the number will pass the
hundred mark before the close of its
first year.
The men, who have taken upon
themselves the work of starting the
Commandery in Kenosha are most
enthusiastic in the work and they will
leave no stone unturned to make the
Commandery one of the best in the
state.
