OWNERS of property that might be
needed for site for the federal build
ing which is to be erected in this city
can show their interest in Kenosha
by putting in bids offering their hold
ings to the government at fair and
reasonable rates. Any attempt to
hold up the government in the matter
of site will simply result in delay
ing the building for an indefinite
time. The government architects are
not nearly as anxious to build here as
we are to have them and the best way
for Kenosha to advance the work is to
see that there is no delay over the
site.

Maude Peterson Aged Seven
Years Missing From her Home
In Pleasant Prairie
MAY Rave FLED WITH FATHER
Mother Alleges That the Father Was
in This Part of the County Recent
" and That he Has Taken the
Girl to St. Louis

Efforts are being made to find some
trace of Maude Petersen, a seven
year old child who disappeared under
mysterious circumstances on last Sat
urday afternoon from the home of C.
Fl. Miller in the town of Pleasant
Prairie. It is alleged that the child
has been kidnapped by her father, j.
L. Petersen, and it is thought possible
that she has been taken to ST. Louis.
Mrs. Emma Miller, the mother
of the child, is the divorced
wife Of Petersen and for some
time the two had been sparring
over the custody of the child. The
family formerly resided in st. Louis
and there Mrs. Miller secured di-
vorce on charges of cruel and in
human treatment and failure to pro-
vide. Some time later she was mar
ried to Miller and the couple came to
the Pleasant Prairie farm to live.
They brought the little girl, then FIVE
years old with them and the child
seemed to be perfectly satisfied to re-
main with the mother. Nothing was
heard of Petersen until last Wednes-
day morning when he came to the
home of the Millers and asked to have
d talk with the child. The mother
consented to the man seeing the
child and when he left the house he
seemed to be entirely satisfied that
the child should remain at the Miller
home.
On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Miller
went TO the village of Winthrop Har-
Dor leaving the little girl at home and
when she returned the child was
missing. 1t was discovered later that
Petersen had been in the neighbor-
hood during the day and that he had
gone to the Miller home in the after
noon.
The woman discovered that Peter
sen had driven to Waukegan and it is
supposed that he took a train from
that point to Chicago. Mrs. Miller
feels certain that the child is with
Petersen, and she has sent letter to
the police of St. Louis making an
y III W SNNl Z tA1N al CSl OA sIA1O lilo Ii
on charge Of kidnapping the little
girl. The child is said to be a very
bright little girl and she was great
favorite with the people living near
the Miller home. Mrs. Miller holds
that there is no doubt but that the
father took the child from the house,
and she is hopeful of being able to
locate them in st. Louis.
1t is stated that before Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller were married Petersen would
repeatedly call to see the child and
that at one time the little girl was
taken to the home of Petersen's
mother for several weeks visit.
Mrs. Miller declares that her former
husband is drunkard and that he is
not fit person to have the child and
that she will contest his act in the
courts of Missouri as soon as the off,
GERS can find any trace of him.
The Millers are well known in the
southern part of Pleasant Prairie and
are said to be very fond of the little
girl.

THERE is big kick on the way the
ice trust is handling its business in
Kenosha. Consumers complain that
they are unable to secure prompt de-
liveries even at the fancy prices
charged by the trust and that repeat
ed complaints fail to remedy matters.
One would think that lack Of ice
would be the last thing the consumers
would have to complain of. There
must be immense profits at the pres
ent rates and the trust might reason.
ably be expected to deliver every
pound that the consumer could be
persuaded to take but it seems this is
not the case. It is adding insult to
injury for the trust to make consunl-
ers beg for ice at the present prices,
anyway.

bring suit against certain other deal
ers alleging combine to raise the
rates for milk, claims to have won a

It is claimed that the dealers have re-
