Night Marauders Make a Rich
Haul at Store Of Lama & Co.
EARLY Sunday Morning
ENTER by WAY OF WINDOWS
Men Secure 500 in Money Which Had
Been Secreted in Store and Police
Have no Clue to the Identity
of the Robbers

One OF the most daring burglaries
or the year in Kenosha occurred late
Saturday night or early Sunday
morning when unknown men forced
an entrance to the fruit store of L.
Lama on Main street and managed to
get away with cash to the amount Of
over hundred dollars. Several other
portions of the store were visited but
it is impossible to tell the amount of
merchandise taken.
The police have no clue to the
guilty parties but the work bears all
the earmarks CT a professional burg
larry. The store was closed just at
midnight Saturday night and the
proprietor, who lives in the flat above
the store, put the cash, which had
been taken IN during the day, in a
muslin bag and hid it in the store. He
supposed it would be safer from burg
lars IN this way than to carry it to the
rooms above. The men made at least
one unsuccessful effort to enter the
building as an ice pick was found near
evident that the men had made an
effort to force open this window.
When it was found that this was i'm
possible the men went to the rear of
the building and broke a pane of
glass and in this way opened the
window.
It seems that the men concerned in
the robbery must have been acquaint-
ed with the way Lama disposes of his
money for the night as they failed to
break open the safe but went directly
to tie hiding place Of the bag which
contained the money. It is thought
that they were in the building but a
few minutes.
Although the building is within a
stones throw Of the police office no
thing was heard of the burglars dur
ing the night and the officers were in
ignorance in regard to the crime un-
til it was reported in the morning.
Not few young men make hang
out of the fruit store and it is thought
possible that some of these people
we're connected with the robbery.
Chief Reinold and his men were at
work on the case on Sunday but so
far the men have been able to battle
the police and it is stated3that there
is no clue to the identity of the men.
A certain similarity to other chimes
committed in the city in the last few
weeks seems to indicate that the same
band worked in all of these burglar
les.
This band appears to be so
well organized that the men work
without fear of successful ssinvestiga-
ton by the police.

Mayor German Appoints John
Priddis Fire and Police Com.
missionef Another Term
BOARD TO BE RE-0RGANIzED
No Other Candidates for the Office
We're Mentioned and the Reap
pointment Comes as a Result
of Faithful Service

Mayor James German has filed with
the city clerk the appointment of John
Priddis, formerly alderman of the
Third ward, as member,.of the police
and fire commission. Mr.. Priddis will
succeed himself, his termIof office as
a member of the commission having
expired today.
The appointment of Mr.. Priddis
comes as a recognition of faithful
service in Office. Under the law it
was necessary for the mayor to APP
point Republican to the Office as the
law creating the commission provides
that it shall be non-partisan board
with two members from each of the
old parties.
AT present Mr.. Priddis is secretary
of the board and he has been IN office
for three years. When tie police and
fire board was first organized, under
the administration of former Mayor
Charles Pfennig, Mr.. Priddis was
elected as the member for the three
year term and he has been in Office
ever since. Since the retirement of
Attorney A. E. Buckmaster from
the board Mr.. Priddis has held the
Office of secretary of the organization.
In this position he has given up
great deal of his time to the work of
the board and has been one of the
most Jealous supporters of civil SER
vice in connection with the members
of the police and fire departments.
{, There we're no other candidates pro-
posed for the office and for some
time it was considered as certain that
Mr.. Priddis would be re-a appointed by
Mayor German.
The appointment will be sent to the
council at the meeting to be held next
Monday evening, and there is no
doubt but that the aldermen will con-
firm the choice of Mayor German.
Confirmation of the appointment is
simply matter sof, form as under the
law the mayors appointee does not
council.
With the appointment of Mr.. Prid-
dis it will be unnecessary for the
board to reorganize, but is probable
that this formality will be gone
through with at the next meeting of
the board. The present make up of
the board is: Christian Schend, presi-
,dent; John Priddis, secretary, and
Robert Nico1l and John E. Heating as
the lay members.
The board promises to be more ac-
tive in the work of the two depart
ments this year than in the former
year, and it is possible that at an
early meeting they will make some
changes in the make up of the depart
ment. Several changes are being
forecasted, but the members of the
commission have declined to discuss
them at this time. 1t is probable that
an effort will be made to have several
more men added to the police depart
ment and possibly another man to the
fire department..

Erich Muenter, Former Harvard
Teacher Wanted for Murder,
Once Lived Near Here
HAD C0URTSHlP IN S0MERS
Father-in-law of the Much Wanted
Man il the Owner of the Big
Chicory Factory Near Berry
vi1le-No Trace There

Erich Muenter, the Harvard uni
versity instructor who is now being
sought by detectives in all parts of
the country as wife murderer, was
formerly resident of Kenosha coun-
ty This fact was brought out yes
terday IN the search for clues to the
present whereabouts of the man and
it is possible that detectives will be
sent to this city to seek evidence.
Muenter married the daughter of
Moritz Krembs, of Chicago, who owns
large farm in the town of Somers
near the village of Berryvi1le. 1t was
on this farm that Muenter courted
and won the love of the woman who
is now dead and who he is charged
with having murdered.
Yesterday Krembs talked freely of
the relations between his daughter
and her husband He stated that
their acquaintance had been started
more than ten years ago and at that
time he had objected to the advances
Of Muenter on the grounds that both
he and Miss Krembs were students
and that they should not think of
marriage. Muenter went to Krembs
and stated that he desired work for
the sumner and he finally went to
the farm in the town Of Somers and
he remained at work there during
the entire summer. During the sum
mer the daughter of Krembs came to
Somers and spent severalgweeks on
the farm and during these weeks the
arrangements for the wedding were
made. The couple were married two
years later and their domestic life
was seemingly tranquil until after the
first child was born when the house
was found filled with gas and it was
thought possible that an effort had
been made to kill the entire family.
Muenter seems to have been able to
completely hide himself as no trace
has been found of him. While it has
been many years since he worked on
the Somers farm the officials seem to
think that it is possible that he will
return to the farm to seek shelter.
Should he return to this county the
officials will be on the look out for
him

Badger Brass Company Of This
City to Open a Big Eastern
Factory in New York
TO CARE FOR EASTERN TRADE
Business of the Company Increases So
Rapidly That an Eastern Plant Is
Found Necessary to Supply
the Demand for Lamps

The managers of the Badger Brass
company of this city have today de-
cided to open branch of the Kenosha
factory in the east, and within the
next few months the manufacture of
the famous Solar lamps will be one of
the industries of New York City.
The managers of the company have
secured long time lease on portion
Of the Iron Age building at the cor
ner of Twenty-ffth street and Elev-
enth avenue IN New York, and in this
building will be located the eastern
branch of the plant.
r. H. Welles, one of the officials of
the company, returned from New
York this morning and announced
that the arrangements for the opening
of the branch had been completed
and that they would take possession
of the new plant at once. The COM
pany has secured two floors in the
building, each having floor space of
2OOx75 feet, and that will give room
enough for factory which will in
measure relieve the great demand on
the Kenosha plant.
George A. Yule, the president of
the Badger Brass company, was seen
this morning and he stated that the
company had definitely decided to
open the branch in the east and that
they expected to be making lamps in
New York within month.
s'Three-fourths Of the automobile
business said Mr.. Yu1e, els being
done in the East and it has. become
imperative for us to open an Eastern
plant to take care of this large bust
ness. 1t is necessary that this plant
be close TO the selling points as large
sums can be saved in the way of
transportation of the product. The
Eastern plant will be used for the
manufacture of automobile lamps.
The opening of the branch in the
East will in no way interfere with the
Kenosha plant and we plan to do just
as much business from this city as
in the past. The great business of
the Western territory will all be taken
care of from Kenosha."
Mr.. Yu1e was not able to tell at this
time as to the number of men who
will be employed in the Eastern fac
tory or the men who would be placed
in charge, but this will be announced
within few days.
The Badger Brass company's plant
is now one of the busiest places in the
city and the company is increasing
the business Of this plant as rapidly
as possible. With a big Eastern
branch the company will make their
place at the head of the lamp making
industry of the world secure. It is
claimed that the company this season
has sold more lamps than any other
company IN the world.

houses owned by William Thierfe1der
were destroyed by fire with loss of
$4,000, only partially covered by in
surance. The fire broke out just after
midnight in the basement of the

incubators. In short time the
chicken house was in, flames and the
flames spread rapidly to the residence
adjoining. A party was being held

DR.. Garfield is Located in Chi
Cago and Talks Of Warrant
for His Arrest
LOCAL DEPUTIES WAIT IN VAIN
Garfield Declines to Talk of Sensa-
tiona1 Points Brought Out in Di-
vorce Action, and May Get
an Attorney 3

DR.. B. A. Garfield, the oculist for
whose arrest bench warrant was
issued on Thursday evening by Judge
E. B. Be1den charging contempt of
court, has not as yet turned himself
over to the sheriff or any of his aids
and it is supposed that he is still in
Chicago. He was at his office in the
Champlain building in Chicago on
Friday afternoon and to reporter he
declared that he had not run away
from Kenosha. He stated that after
he had appeared in court he walked
to the station and took a train for
Kenosha and that he remained in this
city on Thursday evening and had
gone to Chicago on Friday morning.
He insisted that he had made no effort
to elude the officers.
While the search for the doctor has
been on returns have been made to
the clerk of the circuit court of the
questions which were proposed to the
doctor by the attorneys for his wife.
The questions touched not only on
the ability of the doctor to pay the
court but also upon the private life of
the doctor. Affair sample Of the ques-
tons follows:
"Where is your stopping place in
Chicago when there at night?
"Are you acquainted with a woman
now, formerly known as Nine.
Oliver?
what is her present address, if
you know, and what was it prior to
July /, 1905?
s.Where did you make her acquaint-
ance and where did you see her last?
Is it not fact that you have spent
certain sums of money for and with
said Mime. Oliver during your visits
to her?'
II do not think those queries were
legitimate and so said would not
answer them,'' said DR.. Camfe1d last
night. "They had no bearing on the
original bill and told the judge so.

81 don't care to discuss the ques-
tons because they are too ridiculous
to talk about. | think they were

a conspiracy against me. The judge

injure my reputation, and | shall tell
them so. do not care to tell who this

Dr. Camfe1d acted as his own at
torney at the hearing. II would have
Jared better if had been represented
by an attorney" he said. II decided,
however, would plead my own case"
DR.. W. Harrison Hipp, member of
the state board of health of Illinois,
and DR.. III. S. Tucker both testified in
court that DR.. Garfield had ample
income to pay alimony and attorneys
fees. DR.. Hipp is brother of Mrs.

Restored to Citizenship

SVOA N 70 OAU117~AKsAAAp
In the county court Saturday an
order was issued restoring the civil
rights of John Dyer, prominent far
mer Of the western part Of the county.
Dyer, who resides in the town of
Wheatland, was adjudicated insane
in the county court in 1894 and was

the hospital on parole in July, 1905,
and the doctors who examined him re-
ported that he was entirely cured.
Dyer owns considerable property in
the town of Wheatland. The old man
seemed to be overjoyed at being given
his civil rights again.
