DEPUTY Is MISSING
Andrew HiIdenbrande Wanted as
a Witness in Criminal Case
Leaves for indianapolis
COURT EXPERIENCES DELAY
(From Wednesdays Dai1y.)

Business in the circuit court this
morning was practically at stand
still on account Of the unusual disap-
pearance of Andrew Hildenbrande, a
deputy sheriff, who resides in the
town of Pleasant Prairie, and who
was the one material witness for the
state in the action of the State against
Martin Dryer, Joseph Miller and Jo-
seph Kline, the three men who are
charged with grand larceny, and
whose trial was to have gone on to-
day. The work of enpaneling jury
was completed Tuesday afternoon and
the taking of evidence in the case was
to have started this morning. How
ever, it was discovered that Hidden
brande had gone out Of the jurisdic-
ton of the court.
The disappearance of Hildenbrande
under the circumstances proved to be
the sensation of the day in the court.
'Hildenbrande had been in court on
Tuesday afternoon and had watched
the drawing Of the jury. He knew
that he was a material witness for the
state in the action.
Just after the jury had been drawn
Attorney Baker, knowing that con-
tinuance would be taken IN the case,
had subpoena made out for Hidden
brande and turned it over to Sheriff
Veitch to serve. Veitch was in court
at the time, and Baker seeing Hidden
brande leaving the court room, told
the sheriff to make haste and serve
the papers on him. When Veitch
reached the lawn in front of the court
house Hildenbrande had disappeared
and he could not locate him. This
morning it was learned that Hidden
brande was ir indianapolis.
AL morning the jury, which had
been drawn on Tuesday, remained in
the jury box awaiting the call Of the
court, but the district attorney, left
without. his witness, was unable to
proceed with the case. The attorney
for the three men, in the meantime,
was insisting on either going to trial
or discharging the men.
After a long delay the jury was re-
called and the district attorney an
nounced that he would proceed with
the trial of the case without Hidden
brande. It is known that the case for
the state has been considerably weak
ened, but the district attorney refused
to saddle heavy costs on the county by
continuing it to future time.

Farmers and Business Men Ask
Chicago & Milwaukee to Build
a Road to Russell
RIGHT OF WAY MAY BE GIVEN
Byron Dowse Who Owns a Mile of
Right of Way States That He
Will Give it to the Company
Without Compensation

Petitions are being circulated in
the city and the town Of Pleasant
Prairie, asking the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railway company to
Immediately take up the plan Of
building an electric railway to con-
meet the villages of Winthrop Harbor
and Russell just over the state line in
Illinois This scheme which was
started by the business men Of Keno
sha has met with a hearty sanction
from the farmers who would be inter-
ested in the construction OF the line
and it is certain that the right Of way
can be secured by the company at q
very low cost.
The petitions which were placed in
circulation on Tuesday have already
been largely signed by the business
men in Kenosha and they are being
carried to the farmers as rapidly as
possible. It is declared by parties
interested that every farmer in the
territory affected will be willing to
sign the petition.
The petition reads as follows:
To the officers of the Chicago & Mil
waukee Electric Railway Company:
We, the undersigned residents Of
the city of Kenosha and residents of
the territory adjacent to the right of
way described below, petition you to
connect the villages of Winthrop
Harbor and Russell, I'll. This to be
operated in connection with your main
line running between Kenosha and
Evanston.
We the petitioners believe that such
road would be mutual benefit and
convenience to all concerned.
The matter was laid before the Off
Gals of the Chicago and Milwaukee
son.e time ago and at that time it was
stated that the company would take
up the proposition if the people could
show that it would be a paying one
for the company.
Byron Dowse, one of the leading
farmers IN the Russell neigh borhood,
has taken an interest IN the proposed
line and he has offered to give the
company a right of way through his
farm without any compensation. AS
Mr.. Dowse owns more than a mile Of
the property needed, this will be quite
lift to the men seeking the right OF
way.
The Kenosha merchants are anxious
to have this valuable territory opened
to Kenosha trade, and for this reason
they will use all possible influence tc
prevail on the company to build the
line.
It is held that the line will mean
much to Kenosha, in that it will give
Kenosha people an easy way to get a
come ction with the ST. Paul road and
that in the future it would open the
way for freight to be brought to Ke-
nosha over this line.
The petitions will be presented to
the officials of the company within the
next two weeks.

TO REORGANIZE LEAGUE
| City Base Ball Teams are Being Reor
| ganized for the Coming Season

Steps are being taken to secure the
of the Kenosha City
Baseball league for the coming sea-
son and it is probable that meeting
of the managers of the different clubs
will be called within the next few days
to make out the schedule and arrange
rules for the coming struggle for the
pennant. There is some doubt as to
where the games of the city league
will be played this season. Central
Park is still open to the teams, but
some of the men seem to be in favor
of playing at the Breen diamond. 1t
is understood that Manager Breen
would be willing to allow one game
each Sunday before the opening of
the big game, and it is probable that
the teams could make just as much
money under this arrangement as
under the plan proposed for last year.
Many of the players who were
members of the teams last year are in
the city and ready to begin the pre-
1iminary practice for the new season.

WILL GET LICENSE
Dr.. Bartlett, a Former Kenosha
Dentist, Must Be Recognized
BY Board of Examiners
COURTS EDICT FAR REACHING

Copies of the opinion of the SUI
preme court in the dental decision
Just given have been received here
and far reaching results are antici-
pated. The decision by the court was
in the mandamus proceedings COM
menced by students last year against
the Milwaukee Medical college to
compel that institution to issue
diplomas to them on their being gradu-
ated, and is a complete vindication of
the school. The diplomas had been
withheld upon the order of the state
dental board, which objected to the
length of time given these students to
make up deficiencies and which at
the same time declared the dental de-
partment of the school "disrep-
utab1e."
In the opinion, which was written
by Justice Marshall and is exhaus-
tive, covering sixty-five pages of type
written matter, the supreme court de-
fines the status and functions of the
state dental board limiting these to
purely supervisory powers to protect
the general public, but denying the
board the right to interfere with the
curriculum of the school. Copies of
the opinion are being requested from
members of other state boards which
it is believed will also find that their
powers have been curtai1ed and clear
ly defined. Lawyers who have given
the subject some study declare that
this is the first instance in the United.
States where supreme court has de-
fined the functions and Offices of
state board.
Ia ordering the Milwaukee Medical
school to issue diplomas to the six
students who had been denied such
at the instance of the state board, the
supreme court holds that ''the system
of legislative control under consider
alton was not designed to enable a
licensing board to interfere with the
mere business management of dental
colleges by making laws regarding
their charges for instruction, and
their treatment of students in respect
to their schedule of fees.
The power conferred was limited to
reasonable protection of the public
against danger of incompetent practi-
toners securing patronage, and is
wholly of an administrative character.
If the Legislature were to go farther
than to conserve the public welfare
its action in that regard would be dee
structive, not regulative, of rights
and so would be outside of constitu
tiona1 authority" What interest is
it to the public whether a dental
college maintains its fees up to a
published standard or not, or what
particular sum it demands OF students
Is consideration for the advantages
t affords them? None whatever, the
supreme court holds, and declares
hat the board went entirely outside
If its Legitimate sphere of action in
respect to those matters.
The decision of the court is of more
han passing interest in Kenosha on
of the fact that DR.. w. A..
Bartlett a former Kenosha dentist
vas among the number of students
.efused diplomas. DR.. Bartlett on
his account was forced to close his
office in Kenosha and he is now work
ng in clerical position in Mi1wau-
rec. It is probable that he will re-
urn to Kenosha to continue his
practice.
