Police Seek for Remains Of Carl
kruska who is Supposed to
Have Committed Suicide
BODY MAY BE IN SWAMP
German told Friends That He was Tired
of Life and That He Intended to
Commit Suicide-No Trace of
Him can be Found

| 81 am tired of life and am going to
commit suicide This is the state
melt made by Carl Kruska before he
disappeared from Kenosha six weeks
ago and the police of the city are now
seeking to find some trace of the man
or of his remains if he carried out his
! threat. Kruska was German and he
formerly resided on Rowland avenue,
and the police think it possible that ne
went to to the swamp south of the city
and killed himself, and that the bones
recently found by dogs in the swamp
were part Of his body.
Kruska was eighteen or nineteen
years of age and he had only recently
come to Kenosha from Germany. His
father had been former resident Of
Racine and had worked as sailor
many years before he asked his son
to come to this country. When
Kruska came to America he failed to
find his father and he came on to Ke-
nosha to make his home. He was a
good workman and had, no trouble
time he tired Of the employment and
he talked with his friends about re-
turning to his native land. More
than two months ago he became de-
spondent and he told the woman in
charge of the boarding house where
he had been living that he was tired
of life and that he intendedSto commit
suicide.
The sane night he disappeared and
for some time quiet search was con-
Quoted for him, but without results.
His friends thought it possible that
he had gone to Chicago TO, make his
home with friends in that city and
after waiting. some time for his return
TO Kenosha, his trunk and clothing
were sent to the address Of the Chi
cago friends. but this week the trunk
was returned and the Chicago people
stated that they had seen nothing of
Kruska, and had heard nothing of
him. The police were at once notified
and asked to seek the missing man.
The friends of Krnska declare that
they have no doubt but that the man
has committed suicide and Chief
O'Hare has directed his1men TO make
every possible effort to search the
swamp for his remains. The bones
brought out of the swamp by the dog
belonging to Edward Smith are de-
c1ared by physicians to be those of a
young man or woman and had Kruska
killed himself at the time he ANNOUNCED
his intention of doing so, the body
would have been decayed by this time.
So far as can be learned Kruska has
no relatives in this part of the country.
It is not thought that he had any
money at the time of his disappear
ance, and his friends scout any theory
of foul play.

HARTNELL IN JAIL
Salem Man Held to the Circuit
Court on a Charge Of Criminal
Assault at Hearing Tuesday
SECOND ARREST ON CHARGE

Joseph Hartne1l, we1l-known resi-
dent of the town of Salem, occupies a
cell in the Kenosha county jail await
ing trial in the Circuit court on a
charge of rape. Hartnel1 was ar
rested on Tuesday morning by Deputy
and he had a preliminary hearing be-
fore Justice Button in that town on
Tuesday afternoon. When the case
was called Hartne1l waived examina-
ton and was held to the Circuit court
under bonds of $1,000. He made no
effort to secure bail but accompanied
the deputy sheriff to Kenosha where
he was landed in Jail last night.
The charge against Hartne11 is one
of a most sensational nature. The
complaining witness is Rose Kanis, a
16-year-old girl residing in the village
of Salem. According to her story
Hartnell is guilty of a most fragrant
violation of the law. The man was
arrested at the gravel pit near the
Salem station.
rested on a similar charge, but when
this action was called for trial it was
nol1ed, the witnesses against him
failing to appear. Hartnel1 has abso-
1ute1y refused to make any statement
in regard to the case, declaring that
he will not talk of the matter until he
has employed an attorney. His friends
seem to be Of the opinion that an
effort is being made to blackmail him.
Hartnel1 was formerly prominent in
Salem, but after his arrest three years
ago he disappeared from the town
and had returned only few days ago.
The Kanis child is we'll known in
Salem.
As Hartnell was bound over to the
September term of the Circuit court
it is not probable that any further
action will be taken in the case until
that time.

HAS PROSPEROUS MONTH
Kenosha Hospital Takes Care of "a
Patients During May


Patients During May
The regular monthly meeting of the
directors of the Kenosha Hospital
association was held on Tuesday eve
ming at the home of Mrs. James Cava-
nagh on Prairie avenue and the most
interesting feature of the meeting
was the report of the superintendent
for the month of May, which showed
that the hospital had been self-sup-
porting in that month. During the
month "a patients were received into
the hospital. The board of directors
have made arrangements for improv-
ing the grounds about the building
and the high board fence which has
been a little bothersome to some of
the people on English court will be
moved back to leave a lawn at the
back of the hospital building. Other
improvements of minor nature were
ordered by the directors at the meet
ing. last night.

Allie Hatch Stone Formerly Of
kenosha to be o Party to an
Unusual Marriage
STRANGE PRANK BY CUPID
Kiiburn Hoyt Stone Jr. and the Widow
of His Father to be Married on June
2s.-The Bride is Well known to
Many Kenosha People

Allie Hatch Stone, formerly one of
the best wn..women of Kenosha is
to play one of the leading parts in a
a very romantic marriage which is to
take place in Chicago on the evening
of June % when she will be married
to Kilburn Hoyt Stone, Jr. The
marriage of Mrs. Stone brings to light
one of the strangest pranks Of Cupid
on record, as the man to whom she is
to be married is her step son. Mrs.
Stone who was daughter of Benja-
min Hatch, former well known resi-
dent of Kenosha, is the widow of Xii
burn Hoyt Stone of Chicago. Mr..
Stone died more than two years ago
and his son and his widow have al
ways borne the strongest friendship
for each other. This friendship has
now ripened into love and the wedd-
ing is the result. Many Kenosha re-
1atives of Mrs. Stone have received in
vitations to attend the wedding.
The wedding ceremony is to be per-
formed by Rev. Robert H. Poolep at
Epworth Methodist Episcopal church;
Kenmore and Berwyn avenues, in
Sheridan Park.
Marriage of stepson to his
widowed mother is remarkable even
in Chicago, where Cupid's surprises
rarely or never cease. But the wedd-
ing of stepmother to her stepson,
who bears the Identical name of a
former husband, who was also her new
husbands father, is said to be unpre-
cedented.
Other presidents upset by this mar
riage are the traditional notions about
the stepmother being persona non
grata to her stepchildren. Mrs.
Stones romance proves that, in at
least one instance, stepmother has
become persona gratissima to one of
her stepchildren. Only one problem
is puzz1ing her now. This is, ''wi1i
she still be legally a mother to her son
after she has made himl her husband?"
In making his stepmother his wife
the stepson will lose stepmother.
He will also lose 'stepmother-in-
law" and acquire real mother-in-law
the mother of his bride-to-be.
Mrs. Stone is little over forty
years of age, while her stepson-lover
is little over hirty-eight.
Allie Hatch was formerlysone of the
best known of the "High school
girls" in Kenosha. She was born and
raised in the city, and was one of the
early graduates of the Kenosha High
school. She has always taken great
interest in the High school reunions,
and has always made it a point to at
tend the biennial gatherings. She
was for some time the secretary of the
Chicago-Kenosha club, and,was one of
its most active workers.
Mrs. Stone is niece of Levant
Stevens Of Prairie avenue.
