DENIES NEW TRIAL
Judge BeIden Refuses to Grant
Motion for new Trial in the
Hooking Windsor Case
PETRACCI JUDGMENT HOLDS

In the sCircuit court at Racine on
Wednesday an opinion was handed
down denying new trial in the suit
of William E. Hooking against the
Windsor Spring company. The case
was tried at the March term of the
Circuit court of this county and Hook
ing received verdict of $1,000 dam
ages. A new trial was asked by the
attorneys for the defendant company
on the grounds that the verdict was
not in keeping with the law and evil
dence. The motion was taken under
advisement by the court and denied.
Judgment will now be entered for the
plaintiff.
1t is stated that the case will be
taken to the Supreme court of the
state, andit is probable that it will go
up in tirne to be heard when. the court
meets in September.
William E. Hooking brought suit
against the company for damages
alleging personal injuries which re-
suited in the loss of one of his eyes.
At the time the accident occurred
Hooking was at work IN the ia ctory
of the defendant company and it was
claimed that a piece of steel from
broken die pierced his eye. The suit
was one Of the most bitterly contested
ever tried in Kenosha county.
Judge Be1den also denied a new
trial in the suit Of John Zens as adj
ministrator of the estate of Vincenzo
.Petracci against the Kenosha Gas
and Electric company This case was
also heard at the March term of the
Circuit court and the jurygrendered a
verdict of So, 500 for the plaintiff.
Petracci was one Of the boys killed
by touching a live wire on Grand ave-
nue. and the administrator had de-
manded $1,000 from the company. It
is not known what action will be
taken in this case. The brother of
Petracci was killed at the same time,
but the action brought in behalf OF
his estate has not as yet been heard in
the Circuit court. It is probable that
the settlement of this case will form
a basis for the settlement of the other
case.

WE think our municipal water
works are pretty well managed, and
they are, but it is a fact that the en-
gines are pumping about three times
as much water as would be pumped if
the water works were under the con-
troll of private corporation. The
worst of it is that this waste of
water is expensive and cuts down the
dividends materially. The only way
to stop it and the only fair way to sell
water any way, is to put in complete
meter system and let everybody pay
for what they get. When the meters
are installed and people realize that
they are paying for the water they
waste, you will see the number of gal
Ions pumped drop to reasonable fig
ures Immediately. The city schools
are using over hundred millions of
gallons every year for which they pay
nothing.

Supposed Milwaukee Man Man
ages to get Away With vaIu-
able Mare and Buggy
LAKE SHORE GANG AT WORK
Men Who Worked in waukegan, Glen
coe and Milwaukee Supposed to Have
Been Connected With the Bold
Theft in This City

A man declared to be daring horse
thief worked in Kenosha on Wednes-
day, and as result Frank Nelson,
the well-known West Main street liv-
cry man, is minus property valued at
over 5000. The man, whose name is
unknown, is at large while paroles of
officials and interested parties are
securing southern Wisconsin and
northern illinois in an effort to find
some trace of the stolen property.
Wednesday morning just after 10
o'clock a man went to the Nelson
barn and.erepresented himself to be
working for picture charging COM
pany at Milwaukee and asked for a
horse and runabout. It seems that
the men at the stable suspected that
all was not right and after the horse
had been turned over to the stranger
Nelson mounted a wheel and,!started
to follow him. The strangers1ed Nell
son merry chase out through Snake
vile, and finally started out toward
Winthrop Harbor. BY this.time Nelson
felt convinced that the horse had been
stolen and returning to the barn he
took another rig and started Fin pur-
suit. By the time Nelson reached
WinthropSHarbor all trace of the man
had beena1ost.
Late in the afternoon the theft of
the horse was reported to Chief
O'Hare at the police office and te1e-
grams were sent to surrounding cities
in an effort to stop the thief. Tn the
meantime men were sent out in all
directions bylNelson while he kept on
towards the south.
This morning it was announced that
the man with the stolen property had
passed through Milwaukee, but all
trace ofshim was lost after he had left
that city. The horse was a valuable
one and with it the stranger secured
a set of harness and a runabout.
Within the past two weeks there
have been several daring horse thefts
along the lake shore and the officials
are of the opinion that all were COM
n1itted by the same gang. The modus
operandi was the same in every case.
One horse was stolen from Waukegan,
one from Glencoe, and within the
week another was stolen from livery
stable at Milwaukee. Not one of the
thieves has been captured and they
have managed to get away with the
property. It is thought that the Ke-
nosha livery stable keeper was the
fourth victim of the gang.
The man who secured the Nelson
rig seems to have been bung1er,
and it is thought that he would have
been captured if the officers had been
advised Of the crime before he had
secured a start Of more than FIVE
hours.

GEORGE AIDE, the playwright and
humorist, who has been travelling
abroad and sending various accounts
of his experiences for the edifcation
and enlightenment Of his friends
"back home" got on the subject Of
road building in his last article and
as his remarks apply to Wisconsin as
well as Indiana they are worth repro
ducing. ''To see ourselves as other
see u.s. is always instructive. AIDE
says:
'sThe out1aying districts of Egypt
are supposed to be absolutely nonpro-
gressive. This is a mistake. While
driving out from Assiut to visit
another cheerful cluster of tombs we
came upon large gang of workmen
engaged in improving the road. As
soon as the carriage ahead Of ours
struck the improved road it turned
turtle and for moment the air was
full of jumping tourists. Our con-
veyance started over the improved
section, but mired down, SO we got
out and walked until we came to an
unimI roved road, and then we jun ped
in and sped 1nerri1y on our way. I
stopped for several minutes to watch
the men at work, and was deeply i'm
pressed by the fact that here in this
heather land, where they had no nor
NAL schools or farmers institutes to
guide them, no agricultural weeklies
to beacon them out of the darkness,
the simple children of the orient were
improving" the roads just as had
seen them improving during my boy
hood days in Indiana. In other words,
they were scooping dirt out Of the
ditch on either side and dumping it in
tall, insurmountable hi11ocks right in
the middle of the roadway. The most
hydrocephalous township supervisor
in the whole middle west could not
have done more imbecilic job.
In Indiana every voter is required
to ''work the roads, or pay aroad tax.
Of late years, under intelligent direc-
ton, the highways have been vastly
improved, but there was time when
working the roads, was large
joke. To avoid paying the tax the
farmer would have to go out with a
team and do something to a. public
highway. Usually he selected road
which he would not traverse in going
to town, and he would plow it up and
Sscrape" It into ho1lows and leave it
looking like sample of the Bad
Lands of Montana. AS soon as the
tax was worked OUT he discontinued
the improvement. After two OF three
days of working" fairly bad road
could be made altogether impossible.
If were a military commander and
had'to execute retreat and cut off
my pursuit by superior force would
have corps of fiat headed township
supervisors bring up the rear and
work the roads"

THE verdict in the cases of the cam
didates who failed to file expense ac-
counts should be the old Scotch one,
"Not guilty, but don't do it again. :"
We probably know just as much about
the matter now, any way, as if the
candidates had all turned in elaborate
schedules. The law has been a dead
letter ever since one of the most
prominent men in the state failed to
file his schedule, and no move was
made to force him to comply with the
law. 1t is not fair to go after the
minor candidates, when the big fell
lows have been allowed to escape, and
the fling of schedules of expenses by
candidates has always been merely a
matter of form. No attempt has ever
been made to check up these state
ments and every schedule filed has
been allowed to Ego sit lays" All
the same there is material for very
lively nix-up in the present situation
in Kenosha. If the de1inquents are
pushed they may start an investiga-
ton of the schedules already filed
that may disclose interesting facts.

THE citizens of Arizona and New
Mexico are to settle the question of
their admission as one state at sepa-
rate election, in which joint statehood
is to be the only issue, and this out
come of the fight on the statehood
bill will be very generally approved.
The proposal to force the union of
these states against the wishes of
their citizens was repugnant to Amer
lean ideas of fair play. It is possible
that the vote may favor the union,
but the citizens of those states cannot
then complain that they were coerced
into joining thelunion.

IF the law makers had just turned
the new naturalization law around
and made it cost So for first papers
and only seventy-fve cents for the
second or full citizenship papers, it
would have been about right. The
foreign born residents who persevere
in their intention to become full citi-
zens are generally property owners
with a fair understanding of our in
stitutions and laws by the time they
get ready to take out their final pa
pers, and it is not right that they
should be made to pay exorbitant fees
for their full citizenship. A big fee
for first papers, however, would put a
stop to the wholesale naturalization
Of foreigners by the politicians for
voting purposes only, and such a
change in the law would have been
approved by every conscientious man
who is familiar with the conditions as
they exist in almost every city in the
country,

FEW JUNE BRIDES
June No Longer a Fayorite Month
With Kenosha County Girls


June is losing its prestige as the
month Of weddings in Kenosha, for
although the month is nearly half
gone less than dozen licenses have
been issued by County Clerk Crosby,
and there is no reason to believe that
the number of weddings will in any
degree approach the number per-
formed in the city and county during
the same month oflast year.
Since the opening of the month but
three wedding ceremonies have been
performed in the city, and licenses
now pending number but four more.
1t is possible that the weather has
been a little cool for the June bride,
and that the number of weddings will
be largely increased by ceremonies
performed toward the end of the
month.

OFFER BIG REWARD
Kenosha Police Receive Proc1a m alton
From Governor of Indiana

henOSha Police Receive PrOcla nation
From Governor of Indiana
The Kenosha police department has
received copy Of the proclamation
n ecently issued by Governor ]. Frank
Hanley Of Indiana, offering reward
Of $1,000 for the arrest or Oscar Baker
an Indiana man who is wanted on a
charge Of attempted bribery. Baker
has been at large for over year and
the Legislature Of Indiana has taken
up the search for him.
It is thought possible that Baker is
making his home in some of the
smaller cities about Chicago. The
proclamation carries with it descrip-
ton of the much wanted man. The
Kenosha department will not allow
Baker or the $500 to slip through
their fingers if the man makes his APP
pearance in Kenosha.
