Her Disposition.

President ingalls,, OF the Big Four

a division superintendent for eliciting
information relative to the destruction
of farmers property along the line of
the railroad. The superintendent had
printed blank form on which was
to be written, among other things, the
name of the animal killed and the
kind Of animal. A space was reserved
at the bottom for a reply to the fol-
lowing question: Disposition of car

AFTER THE "QUEER"
Officials Seek Source of Counter
felt Money Being Circulated
in Kenosha and Racine
EXPECT SENSATIONAL FIND

Officers of Racine and Kenosha
counties are making an effort to To-
cate the source of a flood of counter
felt money that is being passed in the
two cities and it is thought that when
the government agents get to work in
kenosha and Racine counties there
will be a sensational find. For the
has been in circulation in the two
cities. There has been no great
amount of it at any one time but
nearly every day some saloon man
reports that he has taken in two or
three Of the coins. The men are evil
IDENTIFY very crafty in their methods.
However, while the amount passed
in this county is small, it is thought
that the same work is being carried
on in other parts of the state so that
the income to the makers of the bogus
coin must be considerable every
month.
The bogus money that has appear
ed in Kenosha has been almost entire
1y of the denomination of half and
quarter dollars. The money is a
dangerous substitute for the govern
ment coinage as the die from which
it was made seems to be a perfect one.
Nine out of ten people would be de-
ceived by the money but it is said to
be made of lead and German silver
and tobe very cheap imitation when
compared with the real coins. It has
been more than six months since this
bogus coin was discovered IN the two
counties and in that time considerable
of 1t has been placed in circulation.
More than four years ago a band
of counterfeiters was discovered at
Burlington and these men were all
arrested by United States officials and
sent to prison. It is possible that
they have been released and have re-
turned to their former stamping
ground.

W AA4Ad1A 4A@NAGnS WIN WdS arrested
on Friday afternoon on civil warrant
charging him with s1anderinp the
Rev. Perry p. Baisler, pastor Of the
Grace English Lutheran church, was
taken before court commissioner Hen
I ry Hastings late in the afternoon and
gave bonds for five hundred dollars to
secure his appearance for an exam
ination into the facts in the case. The
bond was signed by Mayor James
German and Ollie Vetter by whom Kee-
nan is employed.
While keenan, was in court he was
closely questioned by Attorney r. ".
Baker, who has been retained to look
after the Interests of the minister in
the suit. keenan, admitted that he
had repeated the stories.a11eged in re-
gard to Mr.. Baisler, butshad done it
without any feeling Of malice or a de-
sire to injure the reputation of Bats
Ter. In court he stated1that he had
been told the stories by one Of his
friends, but he could not recall who
had made the statements to him Kee-
nan seemed to be deeplyspenitent for
the injury that had been done tc the
minister by the stories, but he could
not make any defense further than
that he had thoughtlessly circulated
the rumors.
Mr.. Bais1er was not present when
keenan, was brought before the court
commissioner, but he willibe in court
to examine keenan, on next Friday
afternoon when the defendant in the
action will be examined otherwise
than as a witness.
The complaint in the action for
damages will not be filed in the cir
cult court until this examination has
been held. It is the intention of the
attorney for the minister to demand
SIS, 900 from keenan, as damages to the
reputation of Mr.. Baisler. 1t is pos
sib1e that the case can be taken up at
the March term of the circuit court.
The action of Mr.. Baisler in
promptly bringing suit against the
man he alleges DETAINED him meets
with general commentator among
the ministers of the city, and Mr.
Bais1er certainly has great deal Of
support in ministerial circles. Nearly
all of the ministers have come out
with straight endorsement of Mr..
Bais1er, and those who did not give
such an expression claimed that they
had not heard of the story against
their fellow worker.
The members of the church over
which Mr.. Baisler presidesi are fully
in accord with him. The action of the
church council made public on FRI
day is supported by almost every mem
Der of the church.
Mr.. Bais1er is we'll known in Eng
1ish Lutheran circles in all2parts of
the state and the public announce
ment of the case has attracted wide
attention. It is understood that Mr..
Bais1er conferred with a number of
the members of thelsynod before he
started the action and that he was ad-
vised by these men to go ahead and
insist on the clearing of his good
name.
