MANY FOOTBALL GAMES
Kenosha Kickers Down Wankegan and
Milwaukee. but Lose. to Racine

Kenosha kickers Down Wankegan and
Milwaukee, but Lose to Racine
The football hero vas in his ele-
ment in Kenosha or Saturday and
Sunday and the two days saw four
games on the different gridirons
about the city. The game on-Satur-
day afternoon between the Independ-
ent team and the Wankegan High
school team was one of the hottest
contests ever seen ia Kenosha and at
the end of the last half neither team
had been able to carry the ball over
the line. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Waukegan team outweighed
the Kenosha boys ten pounds to the
man, the Kenosha boys played great
football and made the best showing of
the two teams. At the end of the
first half the beef of the Waukegar
players was counting and they car
ried the ball to within few inches
of the line, but the Kenosha boys
held them for downs and then Cleary
kicked the ball to the center of the
field. This was the only time that
the Kenosha goal was in danger.
In the second half the Kenosha
team played great football and once
got near enough the goal for a place
kick. The ball seemed to go between
the posts, but the umpire refused to
allow the kick and Kenosha lost her
hope of scoring.
The game was witnessed by "a crowd
of two hundred cheering people. The
Independents go to Racine tomorrow
for another game with Racine college
Out at the Breen park on Sunday
afternoonsthe Kenosha football team
met and defeated the Broncos, of Mil
waukee, by score of thirty-three to
nothing. e The visitors were out
classed from the start and in the first
half of the game the Kenosha boys
rolled up a score of twenty three
points.
In the preliminary game the Ke-
nosha Midgets defsated the Wauke-
gan Stars by 1co1e of six to nothing
after two twenty minute halves.
The only defeat of the day came to
the St. George team who s1ost to the
Racine team at Y. M. G. A. park by
score of twelve to nothing.

BARRIERS Lands in Jail

Lana Powers, fifteen year old boy
was forced to spend part Of Sunday
and today in the county jail on ac-
count Of the factsthat he was a Joker.
The boy is employed as porter at the
Strickland barber shop in the Eichel-

barber went to the shop on Sunday
morning he found that all the razors
were missing. Near one of the

with the disappearance Of the razors,
but later he notified the officials that
they would be found in the overcoat

Hunters on Lake Elizabeth Open
Fire With Shotgun On Deputy
Game Warden KIeist
ALL ARE LANDED In COURT
One Chicagoan and Three Randall Men
Pay Fines Aggregating 5000 for
Violations of the Game Laws
Exciting for Officers

Deputy Game Warden Michael
Kleist made big haul on Sunday
and Monday afternoon Gus Swanson,
of Chicago, and William A. Swan
son, Oscar Fiene, George Turner and
W. L. Moran, all of the town of
Randall, we're brought before Justice
George McCarron on a charge of vio-
lating the game laws. The combined
fines assessed against the men were
5000, and the costs which reverted to
the different court officers amounted
! to half as much again.
It was sort of a field day for the
deputy game warden, but Sbefore he
landed his men in the justice court he
had one of sthe hardest fights ever
given an official in this county. He
was even under the fire offs shotgun
and was forced to call to his assist
lance Deputy Sheriff John Mutz, of
Salem
The men had been hunting on Lake
Eliza beth in the town of Randall and
Kleist believing that at least three of
the men did not have a license went
after them. The men showed fight
and one Of them, who was armed with
a shotgun, at once opened fire on the
deputy warden. When his shotgun
had been discharged without doing
any damage Kleist and MUTT closed in
on him and threw him to the ground.
Later there was a struggle in the
boat'in which Swanson, theGChicago
man, was thrown into the water but
he was fished out and brought safely
to Kenosha on Monday.
The Chicago Swanson was ar
raigned before the court on three
counts. The first was hunting with
out license and on this count he
was fined $50 and the costs of action.
The second count was that of using
abusive language and the justice as
sessed SIS and costs on this count. The
third and last count was assault and
battery and this cost Swanson SIS
and costs. Kleist refused ito put
charge of shootingswith intent to kill
or aiming deadly weapon against
Swanson and the Chicago man seemed
glad to settle up for a SOL.
George Turner and w. Z. Moran,
were both charged with hunting with
out license and on plea of guilty
each of them was fined $50 and costs.
Feline and William Swanson were
the two unfortunates of the expedi-
ton. Both of these men had proper
licenses but IN their enthusiasm as
hunters they had ruthlessIy slaugh-
tered two mud-hens. and as such hens
are protected game they were mulcted
by the justice to the tune of $40 and
the costs of the action. All of the
fines we're paid.
It is claimed that Kleist has his eye
on large number of hunters that are
slipping in from Chicago, and the
warden promises to make his job a
paying one for the state before the
close of the hunting season.
Twin Lakes is favorite resort for
the Chicago hunters and it is claimed
that the fact that there are lots of
ducks along the lake will attract
many of them to Randall during the
the next few weeks. With a couple
of days like Monday K1eist would
earn enough for the state to pay his
salary for whole year

IT is easier to split ticket on the
machines than on the old ballot but
It is fact that there was very little
cutting of candidates in any of the
wards, especially in the last two hours
of voting when the voters felt hurried
with the crowds watching them and
others waiting for their turns at the
machines. AS general rule the
voter stepped into the machine, pulled
his party knob and let it go at that.

WHEN the Legislature gets to

TWO MILK MEN FINED
}. Schultz and c. Hoogerheid Pay Fines
For Selling Adulterated Milk


The crusade for pure milk in Ke-
nosha county is still on and Mon
day afternoon J. Schultz and c..
Hoogerheid, both we'll known dairy
men Of the town Of Pleasant Prairie,
were brought before Justice McCar-
ron on the complaint of Pure Food
Commissioner William McAdam, of
Madison. Both men we're charged
with selling milk which had less per
cent of butter fat than prescribed by
law. Both of the men pleaded guilty
to the charges and a fine of twenty
five dollars and the costs was assessed
in each case.
1t is understood that other dairies
are now under fire and it is probable
that other arrests will be made in the
very near future.

GIVES HER FORTUNE
Wife of DefauIting Grand Treas
urer Of Danish Brotherhood
Will Make Loss Good
MEMBERS HEREFEELASSURED

Unsuccessful eculations.gin real
estate, gold mines. and other uncer-
tain business enterprises were re-
vealed yesterday as the secret of the
downfall of ]. Christian Eskildsen,
who, as supreme treasurer sof the
Danish Brotherhood of America. has
disappeared, leaving a shortage of
$4,000 of the society's funds.
The case of Eskildsensis analogous
in many respects to that of Paul O.
Stensland, the Chicago banker and is
an additional example of man looked
upon by his countrymensa ndibusines
associates as a paragon ofJyirtue and
"pi1lar OF society,"
It also is fact that Eskildsen, like
Stensland, found Unnecessary to flee
as result of change in the methods
OF inspecting accounts. At sthe last
previous convention of the Danish
brotherhood held at Council Bluffs,
Ia, the membership voted that in the
future all funds in the hands of the
supreme treasurer should,be placed in
the bank In the name of the society
instead of, as heretofore, in.the name
of the treasurer.
This was not done because of any
suspicion against Eskildsen, who had
served eighteen years as; supreme
treasurer, but simply as, an improve
ment over the old system. In addi-
ton, the mem bership voted that no
funds could be withdrawn from the
bank in the future except on vouchers
attested by the supreme president and
supreme secretary.
Then it was decided that Eskildsen,
Supreme President H. H. Vogt, and
other members of the executive COM
mittee should go to EChicago and ar
range the fiscal matters of the society
according to the newly6adopted regu-
lations. Eskildsen, however, said he
had to go to Iowa on business and it
was decided to meet in Chicago on
Oct. %.
Eskildsen wrote on Oct. 20 note to
his wife in which he declared he was
i'll and unable to face her after what
has happened, saying he would go
away 1Ol d Lew I'd VS.. SlQCO lnGQ ne
has not been seen. Many of his
friends believe he is in Chicago,
probably among friends, or at some
private hospital.
Through her attorney, Mrs. Eskild-
sen has portgaged $4,000 worth of
property at DANA, Fla, a colony
doomed by her husband. Eskildsen
lost heavily in that enterprise and he
lost several thousand dollars also in
the recent storm in Cuba, where he
had large sugar and toba eco p1anta-
ton. He lost nearlys So, 900 in the
wrecked Stens1and bank.
"The Danish brotherhood will not
lose cent by my husbands misfor-
tune, said Mrs. Eskildsen. 81 have
mortgaged all of our property in Cuba
and at DANA, Fla, and I shall mort
gage our Chicago property, including
my own home.
The officials of the Brotherhood in
Kenosha feel absolutely assured that
the benefit fund of the order will not
be depleted penny by the defalca-
ton.

The entertainment by the
Woman's Missionary Union at
the Court House last Saturday
night for the benefit of the build
ing fund of the First Baptist
church was indeed an entertain
ment. The programme was an
excellent one and we'll rendered,
and we could i'm truth make
special mention Of each lady who
took part. as they certainly
deserve it, but we can not let the
opportunity pass without giving
just praise To little Miss Marion
Grisham IN her recitation, else
Bad. She was not at all abashed
and seemed perfectly at home on
the stage. She captured the au-
dience. Mrs. Carothers gave a
recitation. "The Cork Screw,
which brought down the house.
Too much praise can not be given
the ladies who had the entertain
ment in charge. They had a
fairly good audience and realized
about $50. IN entertainment of
as high class rs that should have
netted the ladies at least one
hundred dollars. We feel salts
fled that if it should be repeated
Saturday nights receipts would
be doubled.
