Danish Government Pays $4,000
to Martin Petersen as Part
Of Grandfather's Estate
POOR BOY FINALLY WINS OUT
Son of George Petersen the Old Keno.
sha Music Teacher Who Was Well
Known Here Gets a Small For
tune From Denmark

c. III. Hansen, consul for the Danish
government in Chicago Tuesday turn
ed over to Thomas Hansen Of this city
a check for $4,000, being the first in
sta1lment in the settlement between
the Danish government and Martin
Petersen of Kenosha. A small sum
yet remains in Denmark but it will be
paid to Petersen within the next few
weeks.
The story of the Petersen fortune
is an interesting one. Martin Peter
sen is an emp1oye of the Chicago-Ke-
nosha Hosiery works and lives with
his mother IN little house on Crate
street. He is the son Of George Peter
sen, a former music teacher here who
died seventeen years ago and who was
buried in the Potters field at the city
cemetery. When the elder Petersen
died he knew little of the condition OF
his father in Denmark as he had re-
sided in Kenosha for many years.
The people in Denmark had lost trace
of him but some three or four years
ago his father died leaving an estate
of something like $4,000.
There was but one heir to the estate
and that was the old Kenosha music
teacher. The money was paid into
the courts of Denmark and the con-
suls of the Danish government in this
country were ordered to make an eff
fort to locate George Petersen or his
heirs. For nearly two years the work
Of searching went on and finally, just
two weeks before the time for making
the claim for the state had expired,
Martin Petersen was discovered in
this city. Thomas Hansen was at
once named as his guardian by the
county court, and the late Willis K.
Assens, who was then Danish vice
consul in Chicago, took up the fight
to get the money for Petersen.
While the search for the heirs of
Petersen was being carried on in this
country large number of minor
heirs to the estate appeared IN Den
mark and when the claim of the Ke-
nosha man was filed the other heirs

Identification. This protest was de-
cided against them last December and
they at once. gave notice of an APP
peal to the higher courts of Denmark.
The appeal was also decided against
the contesting heirs and the court or
dered the money paid at once to the
Kenosha claimant.
The money was sent to the consul
in Chicago but owing to the sudden
death of Vice Consul Athens the set
Element of the estate had been de-
1ayed. The exact amount still com
ing to Petersen is not known but it
will be IN the neighborhood of $500
Petersen and his mother are having
a quiet little celebration over the
happy outcome of his contest for the
property.

GET HEAVY FINES
James Dorsey and Gus Hopf,
Charged With Securing Liquor
for Minors, Go to Jail
JUSTICE R0ASTS OFFENDERS

Justice Sturges laid down hard
lesson for two men Tuesday. The
men were James Dorsey and Gus
Hopf, and they were charged with
having purchased liquor for minors.
The sentence of the court was that
the two men should spend thirty days
in jail, and added to this they should
action, and in default of the payment
the jail sentence is to be increased by
sixty days.
The sentence was one of the heav-
lest ever assessed in justice court in
Kenosha. Dorsey and Hopt we're ar
rested on Monday evening on charge
of purchasing liquor for Lana Powers
and Tommy Hector. They were taken
into court in the morning and pleaded
not guilty to the charge and de-
manded trial. This was held in the
afternoon. The two boys were the
main witnesses for the state and they
testified that they had given money to,
the two men and that they had pur-
chased both beer and whiskey for
them. Dorsey and Hopf of course got
share of the liquor. The boys were
alleged to have drank the liquor IN an
old barn IN the business portion of the
city. Just how long this has been go
ing on the police were unable to dis
cover, but it is pretty certain that the
heavy sentences imposed will have
the effect of doing away with such
business in the future.
In sentencing Dorsey and Hopf,
Justice Sturges roasted the two men
numerically. He stated that no pun-
ishment which he could impose on
them would be sufficient for the.
charge against them. He declared
that there could be no lower condition
of men than those who would pur-
chase liquor for little boys of the age
of the comp1ainants.
Both of the men went to jail and
neither of them have as yet made any
effort to pay the fines assessed.
Should there be further arrests on the
same charge even heavier sentences
may be expected.

HAD TOO MANY WIVES
William vanSickIe Formerly of
kenosha Lands in Jail at
0sWosso, Mich.
COULDN'T FOOL BOTH WOMEN

William Van Sickle, former Ke
nosha man, has been arrested at
Qwosso, Mich, on a charge Of bigamy.
It is alleged that he has one wife
more than is allowed by the laws of
the land. Van Sickle, who formerly
worked in one of the Kenosha fac
tories, was married here in 1898, and
shortly after the wedding he removed
to Canada where he remained until
he moved to Owosso. Here he raised
a. family of three children.
A short time ago it was discovered
that he was keeping up two esta blish-
ments and an investigate showed
! that he had been married at .Windsor
l1as2 October to Martha Poppenfuss,
German girl who had come to this
country only few weeks before the
wedding. At the time Of the second
marriage Van Sickle had given his
name as William Ryan and under this
name he was spending good part of
his time with the charming German
girl. The way that Ryan took to get
out of his strange predicament is an
unusual story.
| "a month ago Ryan, who had been
living in the east end of the town with
his second wife, left home stating he
was going to the funeral of relative
in3the southern part of town. He had
been showing signs of cooled love
| for some time and when his wife did
not receive any message from him she
became very suspicious.
| a letter came from some mysterious
place signed, supposedly, by Ryan's
mother stating that he had been killed
and that she would take charge of
| his burial. The letter was mailed on
a train and the woman could not trace
the letter to its writer. She gave up
hope of finding her husband, but after
she had complained Of him on the
charge of non-support he was brought
into court and it was then learned for
the first time that the man has two
| wives. He could not furnish bail and
was sent to jail.

Chicago Street Railway Promoter
Seeks Right for a Line to the
Western Lake Districts
MAY REVIVE. OLD ORDINANCE
Chicago Man Who Was Interested in
the Original Street Railway ordi-
nance Now Interested in the
Park City Railway Line

Patrick F. Haynes of Chicago. who
was one of the men associated in Sc
curing the original Haynes C1ausen
today feeling the pulse of the public
IN regard to an ordinance for a road
to the west of the city. This has been
one of the favorite plans of Haynes
for several years, and he announced
today that he is connected with the
Park City Electric Railway company
and that it is his plan to revive the
old ordinance which was laid before
the council many months ago and
which is still in the hands of the COM
1nittee on railways.
Haynes states that he is ready to lay
this ordinance or new ordinance be-
fore the council in order to secure a
right of way through the city to
build the line to the west. Mr. Haynes
states that it was his original plan to
connect with the lines Of the Kenosha
Electric Railway company and run
the road directly west to Twin Lakes
and then touch the other lake points.
He is convinced that in short time
such line would be paying invest
ment.
The ordinance presented by the
Park City Electric Railway company
has been in the hands of the council
for more than six months. It was
properly published, but no action Twas
ever taken on it by the council.
When it was pigeon-ho1ed about four
months ago the committee was notified
by Henry Lutzenkirchen of Chicago,
the president of the road that the
company would in few days file a
new franchise ordinance with the
committee for submission to the city
council. Up to the present time no
President Lutzenkirchen and it was
supposed by the aldermen that the
matter had been dropped. It seems
that the Park City company is now
seeking route similar to the one
sought by the Chicago, Kenosha,
Milwaukee and Lake Geneva company
and it looks possible that there will
De grand mix up Wnen the cOunc1i
comes to point of considering the
franchises.
The Park City company was organ
lied by Kenosha men, but it was
stated that these men were not
particularly interested in the building
of the line. Like the Chicago, Ke-
nosha and Milwaukee road the new
company has no record as builder
of railways and the work so far has
been on paper. Mr.. Haynes states
that there is plenty of money to build
the line if the city of Kenosha sees fit
to give the company right of way
into the center of the city.
The men who are backing Haynes
do not seem to be particular in regard
to the line they are to have into the
city, but they state that if the line is
built some plan must be devised by
which they can get down to Main
street. The line would be about
thirty-fve miles in length and will
enter a country which is at the
present time not directly connected
with the city by the railways.

Prophet at Zion City Raises $4,000 on
His Famous Mansion

His Famous Mansion
An instrument filed III the record
er's Office at Waukegan Tuesday
shows that John Alexander Dowie has
just raised $50 900 on his mansion in
Zion City. J. Worthington Judd be-
ing named as the trustee.
Who tits that has loaned the $780,
600 to Dowie on the residence is not
shown by the records. The descrip-
ton of the property is Shown to be
lots Is, block AZ, and lots s and z,
block AS. The former is where the
Dowie residence is 1ocared, corner
Shiloh boulevard and Elisha avenue,
the other property referred to is the
do ctor's stables.
This action on the part of Zion's
overseer is somewhat of surprise to
realty men and also to the residents
of Zion who know of it.
A few days ago Gladstone Dowie,
son of the doctor, secured leases to
three lots, consideration So, $50. The
latter transaction led some to believe
that the Dowie's were trying to put
back some Of their money into Zion,
but the action of the overseer is
rather perp1exing.
The trust deed calls for payment on
demand and bears per cent interest.
