was summoned to his bedside, but he
died before the son reached Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Truesde1l was 20 years of age.
He was a native of New York and
came to Kenosh in the early sixties.
He was engaged in the photogra phi
business in Kenosha for many years
and since giving up this work he had
spent much of his time in California,
returning to Kenosha only for the
summer months. He was man with
wide friendships in Kenosha and his
death will cause sorrow IN many
homes. The deceased is survived by

Pat McGuire's Long "Lape."

Last summer, when excursions were
being run from Providence to New
port, r. l., an incident occurred that
created considerable laughter. Pat
rick Mcclure a small, good-natured
Irishman, was hurrying down the
street TO the wharf when he met a
few friends, who talked with him until
the boat was about to start. pat
ran down the street, and as he reached
the wharf the boat was pulling out
into the stream.
Not intending to get left, he made
a jump, just cleared the rail, and, land
ing heavily on his head, was rendered
unconscious for a few minutes.
When he recovered he stood up,
looked back at the wharf, and ex-
claimed: "JabezI what a lap.'

ITALIAN RECEIVERS
Man Who Was Shot Seven Times Now
Ready to Leave Hospital


Joe Uvare, the Italian who at Win
throp Harbor received seven bullet
holes IN his body and yet pulled
through the experience, is now able
to not only leave his bed at the Wan
kegan hospital but is able to walk
down town. He is still making his
headquarters at the hospital, where
his wounds are still being treated.
He has his right arm done up in a
sling and appears strong and healthy
He has lost little flesh and walks as
spritely as if he had received only one
or two slight bruises instead of seven
severe bullet wounds.
Uvare says he will not skip Wauke-
gan. When asked if he would leave
there before the trial of the two muir
derers who killed his friends had
taken place, he frowned and said at
once that he would try and get work
around there and remain until after
the trial. He said if he should be
obliged to get work elsewhere, he
would remain close to Waukegan and
be there at the trial. He said that he
wanted to see them punished to the
limit and would certainly not Weld to
any inducement to leave the vicinity.
Most of the bullets have been ex-
tracted from Uvare's body, one being
taken out few days ago, coming out
Of his back.

der His Son to Have Guardian
A petition has been filed ia the
county court by Mrs. Susan Achten.
OF Chicago, asking that the court APP
point guardian for Peter Achten. a
resident and property owner Of this
county, who is now in the Illinois
asylum for the insane at Kankakee.

able real estate in this county and
that he is incompetent to manage It.
1t IS asked that the wife be named a

Total number of meters in use Nov.

No important changes or improve
ments have been made at the pump
ing station this year except the re-
fueing of both boilers.
The Barr engine is being used "a
hours per day, and is showing high
efficiency. The average number Of
gallons of water per pound Of coal
pumped this year is 493, against 442
last year.
The total water pumped in 1904 was
831, 442, COG gals; in 1905 899, 431, 400
gals. Average per day in 1904 2,271,-
646 gals; in 1905 2,464, 100.
Total amount of coal used in 1904
941 tons; in 1905 902 tons.
The board has changed the location
Of the proposed standpipe and has
purchased a piece of property at the
corner Of Ridge and Pearl streets
which is much larger and better To-
Gated than the site formerly proposed.
The probable cost of this standpipe
with the necessary main pipes will be
about 5000.
We believe that with this addition
to the system we can give better SER
vice, more constant pressure, higher
pressure in the western parts of the
city, and can save materially in the
cost of pumping, besides having a
storage capacity of $4,000 gallons.

Boys Make Their Annual Raid on the
Kenosha Country Club House

The annual burglary of the club
house of the Kenosha Country Club
occurred on Wednesday afternoon
when boys entered the dining room of
the house and raised havoc with the
furnishings. The spirit of vandalism
seems to have been rampant as the
boys deliberately cut the receiver from
the telephone instrument and broke
up furniture.
Entrance to the house was gained
by breaking window in the dining
room. The identity of the boys is
known and it is probable that they
will be arrested within a few days.

Advantages Of the ozarks.

If the people in the crowded cities
knew Of the beauty, healthfulness,
cheapness, productiveness and advan-
tages Of the Ozarks, they would come
by the train loads. 1t is the only place
left in the country where man with
small means can get good home In
healthy climate for so small amount
of money The land is very produce
tive and almost all kinds Of fruit
grow to perfection know of several
men (besides myself) broken down in
health, who came here and now are
well and healthy, and able to do rea-
sonable days work The Ozarks
abound with many springs Of good
water and numerous streams of such
clear water, the sight Of which makes
man feel that it is good to live, and
that he has taken on new lease Of
life ask the man with limited means
especially renters in the eastern states
where they have to give almost and
quite often all that they raise for rent,
to come and see the cheapness and
productiveness of the country and get
themselves home while the land is
cheap: and it is good place for the
city people to come to, who want to
get away from the heat and noise for
a few days and recuperate. Fishing
is good in the beautiful White river.
Tame grass does we'll here, timothy
and clover. have seen some pieces
of good alfalfa but that has not been
tested to very great extent. Stock
does well here and gets fat on the out
side range. The winters are short
and mild. 1t does not take such a
great amount of feed to carry stock
through a winter here, as 1t does in
some states. The Ozarks have been
passed by because they are hilly and
rocky, but l expect a great many
would have done better If they had
stopped here when they went west to
get themselves a home. There is
considerable government land yet in
the Ozarks open for homesteaders. If
any one would come they would find
the people ready to give them the
right hand Of fellowship. The south
ern people are noted for their hospi-
tally.

HAINES IS HELD
TO GRAND JURY
NEW EVIDENCE INTRODUCED IN
ALLEGED uTTERING OF sPU-
RloUs SCRIPT is STRONG
Nan Against Whom True Bill Was
Previously Returned, and Who Was
Later Released by the Dismissal Of
Case. May be Again Indicted.

A. H. Haines, charged with utter1ng
and forging spurious script in imita-
ton of that used by the Black Diamond
store, was yesterday bound over to
await the action of the grand jury on
the charge of uttering the script, by
Police Judge e. M. Campbell.
Once before this Haines was bound
over to the grand jury on as similar
charge, but after the grand jury had
Indicted him, he was released, the
county attorney dismissing the case on
account of insufficient evidence.
However, since that time the Black
Diamond store people have not been
Idle. They have been searching the
country for more evidence. That they
succeeded to some extent at least was
evident in police court yesterday after
noon, when Haines had his prelimin-
airy trial.
Says Haines Received Script.
According to the evidence intro
duced by the prosecution yesterday,
the counterfeit script is alleged to
have been ordered from the National
Stamp and Seal company of Chicago
j. A. Pardi, the manager of the COM
pany, was in the city to testify in the
case. Pardi testified that on three
separate occasions his house has filled
orders for script like that used by the
Black Diamond store. Each order, he
said, had been shipped to Blakesburg
to George B. Hall. Aubrey Jordan, a
student in the railway Office at Blakes-
burg, testified that he delivered the
script in two instances and identified
Haines as the man to whom the pack
ages we're delivered. The first pack
age contained 700 dollar checks, and
the last two are alleged to have con-
tanned 1000 dollar checks apiece.
AS stated Judge Campbell held
Haines to await the action of the
grand jury and placed his bond at
S1,500.

ALDERMAN HESS DIES.

Iowa City, Nov. 3.-(SpeciaD. -
Death. despite the heroism of Alder
man Frank Hess of Scion, claimed him
Friday afternoon.
He died after an operation, involving
the amputation Oh his right leg, above
both bones of his leg, by recent fall
from barn, as already related in
these columns, crawled to the back Of
q horse and rode half mile for doc
ter-the while one bone protruded
from his flesh.
Amputation became necessary owing
to the character of the injury, and the
fact that much time elapsed between
the fall, his period of Inconsistencies
and the operation-from the shock OF
which he never rallied.
