Strong Arm Saves Two Lives.

Manitowoc. - George Schadeburg
saved his own life and that of his
four-year-old son by clinging to the
ties Of railroad trestle with one arm
while a heavily loaded train passed.
The man was crossing the Wisconsin
Central bridge near the city with his
two children and the younger boy had
trailed in the rear. Schadeburg heard a
train approaching and ran back to
save the boy, but was unable to clear
the bridge. Grasping the lad in one
arm the father swung from the side of
the bridge with the other and held on
until the train had passed.

A PERSONAL APPEAL
Officials of Electric Railway Co.,
Appeal in Person to Ashland
Avenue Residents
NEW PETITION CIRCULATED

The officials of the Kenosha Elec-
trio Railway company are making
personal appeal to the property own
ers on Ashland avenue today to secure
support for the proposed extension of
the railway lines on that street and a
new petition is being taken to every
property owner on the street for the
purpose of getting a final verdict in
regard to the extension.
The petition is being taken by mem
bers of the railway force, the party
including superintendent Russell,
Superintendent Fredericks, Superin-
tendent Scott, Right of Way Manager
Robert E. Wynn, and General Claim
Agent Edward Vivian.
The proposition made by the COM
pany is not a new one, but the petition
which is addressed to the common
council asks that the council support
the franchise ordinance now pending,
In the petition it is stated that the
company will agree to pave and keep
in repair sixteen feet of the street
where double tracks are laid and
seven feet where single tracks are
laid. No limitations are placed as to
the sort of paving to be put in. This
is to be selected by the property own
ers and it is the intention of the corr
pany to follow any suggestion they
may make.
For some time it has been apparent
that there are number of people on
the street who we're in favor of the
granting of the franchise to the COM
pany on these terms, and President
Frost decided that the only wayIto get
the sentiment of the people was to
have house to house canvass. The
petition will be presented. to every
man or woman holding property on
the street and one of the agents of
the company will explain the purposes
of the company. 1t is certain shat
the company's off1cialsSare hopeful of
securing favorable verdict. If the
work can be completed sthesspetition
will be presented to the city council
on next Monday evening.

City Treasurer Steinmetz Still Has a
Large Sum of Taxes to Collect
City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz is
making an effort to secure the col
lection of all the taxes due in the city
before the close of the present week
in order that the books may be turned
over at that time. There is still So. 900
to be collected, the amount being
considerably more than in other years.
There are only a few large amounts
still unsolicited and it is expected
that these will be paid during the
week. Quite little personal proper
ty tax is unpaid and the treasurer is
making a personal effort to get this
IN before the books are turned over
to the county. Last year the amount
reported uncol1ected was only little
over a thousand dollars and the
treasurer hopes to have the amount
even smaller this year.

BY UNITED PARTY
John Hegeman Named as Republicans
f Candidate for Mayor

Petitions for the nomination Of John
Hegeman, alderman from the Third
warn, as the Republican candidate
Tor the Office of Mayor of the city,
were filed with the city clerk this
morning and it is certain that no man
was ever presented to the voters of
the city as candidate for office with
q better and more representative en-
uorsement of the tax payers of the
city.
The petitions for the nomination Of
Alderman Hegeman contain the
| names of 136 voters, aud it is thought
that every one of them is tax payer.
The list contains men prominent In
all walks of life, among them being
bankers, merchants, professional men
and great crowd of workingmen. In
every ward Of the city where the petit
tons were circulated the best men in
the ward signed the petitions. It is a
noteworthy fact that in the North
wards of the city the support given
to Mr.. Hegeman is most fattering.
/ = az EG11ltOu 1IOIu lnG I<lS ulL WdIO
had the signatures of Is men. The
men circulating the petitions for
Alderman Hegeman did not seek to
secure Democratic signers and only
men who were known to be voters in
the Republican ranks were given an
opportunity to sign. Notwithstand-
sing this fact Mr.. Hegeman has been
given assurance that he will secure
many Democratic votes when election
day comes.
1t is certain that Mr.. Hegeman will
be the only candidate of the Republi-
can party proposed at the primaries
and he will have the united support
of his party.
1t is worthy of note that the petit
ons have been signed by republicans
VITO have been considered enemies in
the state fight and this fact shows
that the differences of the past have
been buried and that the republicans
will present a united party at the
polls this year.

MET AWFUL DEATH
Henry Brockman, Of Kenosha, is
Killed Under a Train a Mile
North Of Ives Station
SUPPOSED TO BE OEMENTED

Henry Brockman, who resided at 10
North Main street, met an awful and
instant death on the tracks of the
North Western Railway Co., mile
north of Ives station late Saturday
night or early Sunday morning. The
remains of the mar were terribly
mangled. Both legs and his back
were broken, while the engine had
torn great hole III his skull. Train
men are not able to give any light on
the details Of Brockman's death. He
had not been seen walking along the
track nor in the neighborhood of the
accident, and the first known of the
accident was the discovery of the
mangled remains early Sunday morn
ing. The remains were found by the
train crew of the Green Bay express
on Sunday morning, and when the
trainereached:R acine the station agent
was notified and he sent out special
crew to bring the remains into Ra-
cine. Later they we're turned over to
the coroner of Racine county, who
summoned jury and fan inquest will
be held this afternoon.
'Brockman, who was better known as
"Big Hank" had been resident of
Kenosha for the past three and half
years. He had been employed by
Charles Steinbach as foreman in the
work of laying cement walks, but
when work got scarce Brockman was
laid off and since that time he had
been respondent. He went tout into
the lake district with the opening of
the ice cutting season and worked on
the ice for several weeks, but when
this work gave out he returned to Ke-
nosha. He was last seen on Friday
night and on Saturday the police were
asked to make an effort to locate him.
Brockman, according to the state
ments of his friends, was mentally de-
ranged, and he was laboring under
the impression that some one was
chasing him. When last seen he had
started for the west on a run, and it
was this action that forced his friends
to seek the aid of the police in their
search for him. 1t is supposed that
he spent Saturday in Racine, and that
al night he started north along the
railway track and was struck by some
train during the night.
Brockman was 26 years pf age and
was native of Sheboygan, He was
one of those big hearted fellows who
had a lot of friends and his awful
death has caused considerable sorrow
among the men on the North side who
we're well acquainted with him. Quite
a number of these men will go to She
boygan on Wednesday to attend the
funeral.
