BURN SLOT MACHINES
Police Raid West Side Saloons
and Secure Two Devices
Which are Destroyed
FORMER OWNERS PAY FINES

The police of the city, headed by
Chief Reino1d, started the annual raid
on gambling in the city Tuesday af-
ternoon, and as a result of the first
days work there was a big fire on
market square Tuesday evening, and
two slot machines valued at over $500
were reduced to ashes by the order of
the court. The fire was the one
event on the street Tuesday evening,
and several hundred people gathered
to watch the burning of the costly
gambling devices. AS the flames
roared the people cheered, and it was
apparent that most of the people
about the fire were in favor of the
suppression of slot machine gam
bling.
Early Tuesday morning the officers
secured tip that slot machines we're
being put into service again in sa-
looms on the West side of the city,
and as soon as the work of the day
was cleared up Chief Reinold and his
men started on tour of investiga-
ton. The first machine was seized
at the saloon of Paul Ade1t, and a
minute later a second one was taken
at the saloon of ]. ]. Connery. Both
men were arrested, charged with hav-
ing gambling devices in their posses
sion. They pleaded guilty to the
charges brought against them and
we're fined $40 and costs. Justice
Sturges then ordere the machines to
be burned on the Square.
It was claimed that the machines
had been in operation for just one
day, aud yet the officials confiscated
more than SIS in cash from the two
machines.
District Attorney Baker was not
present when the arrests were made,
but he has announced that if any FUR
Their arrests are made for keeping slot
machines he will ask that the keepers
be indicted on charge of running
gambling room. It is thought that
this will have tendency to keep the
machines out of business in Kenosha.

Candidates for Election to City
Offices are Beginning to
Get Very Busy
DEMOCRACY BADLY DIVIDED
Republicans of the City Have Chance
to Secure the Election of a Re
publican Mayor and Secure
Control of Council

Notwithstanding the fact that the
city election in Kenosha is nearly
three months away the political hight
IN henosha is warming up and long
before the time set for the primary
election the fight will be at fever heat.
The announcement of the candidacy
OF Mayor German for reelection has
come like red rag to bull in some
parts of the city and rival candidates
on the Democratic ticket have started
a civil warfare which will not end
with primary election but which
will undoubtedly be carried to the
polls. Hard feeling has already been
shown and it is feared that there will
be an open clash between the friends
OF Mayor German and other elements
of the party before the date of the
primary. In the meantime splendid
opening is offered for the Republicans
to go IN and capture the city offices.
The fight among the Democrats has
been brewing for some time and it
will be fight to the finish. The two
elements of the party have long been
prep pairing for the fight and no quarter
will be asked or given.
The primary election in Kenosha
will be held on the 10Th of March and
under the provisions of the primary
law all petitions for office must be
filed with the city clerk at least fifteen
days before the holding of the
primary. This makes the last day
for fling petitions the Sd of March.
Many petitions will undoubtedly be in
the hands of the clerk before this
date.
The friends of Mayor German have
had the petitions prepared and they
will be circulated in every ward of the
city. The Republicans are suggest
ing the names of John Hegeman, Dan
Head and John M. Keh1or, as candi-
dates for mayor and it is proba BILE
that petitions will be filed for at least
two of these men. The rivalry, how
ever, if there is any is of a friendly
nature and no matter who is nomi-
mated he will have the united support
of the party. All of the men mention
ed are suited for the office. Heg eman
seems to be the choice of the older
element in the party, while Head has
just as strong backing among the
younger element.
The election for this year is one of
much Importance on account of the
fact that full city ticket is to be
named. There will be mayor, city
clerk, city treasurer, assessor and a
justice of the peace to elect, besides
eight members of the common council
and an equal number of members of
the board of education. Many we'll
known men are being spoken of for
these Offices and there will be no lack
of candidates.

MAKES AN APOLOGY
Supervisor of Assessments Harrison
Admits His Error

To the Editor:
In former issue of your paper |
stated the assessed value of the M.
German estate on the corner of Strong
street and Fremont avenue was
copied onto the tax roll by Mr.. Har-
rington at ST., $50 for the year 1904 in
stead of $1,000 which it was. / desire
to say to the public las stated to the
county board at their January session.,
in calling for the 1904 tax roll and get
ting the 1903 rob the error was made
and through no fault of his.
AS to Mr.. Biennemann's affidavit
wherein he states that he put the pen
Gil figures of $2,45O over the assessed
value of 81, $50 of said German prop
erty spoken of in said article by me
| will not dispute it, but note he did not
say when he put Them there. AS to
misrepresenting Mr.. German or any
other one do not desire to. would
prefer to be misrepresented myself
and then / have done no harm.
If Mr.. German will stop and think
for moment he will remember that
there was no contention between us
as to what the said!Gorman estate was
assessed at for the year 1905, which
was $245O, and no $3.50 for.19o5 was
mentioned by either of US. He should
bear in mind that he was very much
excited and said..a good many things
and possibly some he did not mean to.
Our contention over the value of
$245O and $3.50 was for the year 1904,
and the $1,000, which was the real as
sessment fixed by the board, was not
mentioned by said German at the
November session.
| offered to leave it to the county
board. IF was wrong I would make
due apology. w. H. HARRISON.

TO LIST THE HORSES
State to Furnish Protection to
Breeders of Thoroughbred
Horses by Registration
ONE OWNER TURNED DOWN

Horse breeders in Kenosha county
are to have the full protection of the
| state laws in the future as Register
of Deeds Torrey this morning re-
ceived an official communication from
the secretary of state notifying him
| that in the future all stations used
for service in the county must be
registered with the state department.
The registration demanded is of the
strictest sort and when the work is
completed it will be possible for the
horse breeder to ascertain the pedigree
of every horse in the county. The
law, which was passed at the last
Legislature and which went into effect
the first of 5anuary, provides that the
owner Of every stallion shall file with
the secretary of state the pedigree of
his horse and if it is found to be a
Thoroughbred number will be issued
to the owner. The pedigree of the
horse will be placed on file in the
Office of the register of deeds in the
county in which it is owned. All
stations which are mot found to be
thoroughbredkby the state examiners
will be registered as "grades" and it
will be the duty,of.the owner to adver-
tise the horse as grade stallion.
Only ones application for registra-
ton has been made unde the new
law in this county and this app1ica-
ton was promptly turned down on ac-
count Of the fact that the horse,
which was owned by Brighton parties,
failed to havesthe pedigree demanded
by the state for thoroughbred. This
horse will in the future be advertised
as a "grade."
It's claimed that the law will fur
nish a positive protection for farmers
and horse:raisers and that it will make
it an impossibi1ity for unprincip1ed
horse OWNERSHIP impose on ignorant
farmers.
II is claimed that there are about
twenty stations owned in Kenosha
county and the owners of all of them
will probably seek registration within
few days.

THE friends and supporters of the
Wisconsin Humane society in this
city are not any too well pleased over
the action of the board of directors of
the society in forcing the resignation
of Supt. r. D. Whitehead, and the
hope is expressed that way will be
found to adjust the differences be-
tween Mr.. Whitehead and the board,
which will permit him to retain his
position as superintendent. His,1ono
and faithful service to the society,
extending over period Of twenty-five
years, certainly entities him to every
consideration at the hands of the
directors, and a quarrel over the
choice of an assistant, in the opinion
of the Kenosha members of the So
ciety, is too trivial a matter to be per-
mitted to work harm to the Wisconsin
society. The superintendent ought
to have the power to choose his own
assistant, anyway. If he is to be held
responsible for results he should be
permitted to select his own tools to
work with.

HELP FROM KENosHA

Sheboygan has committed itself for
a municipal water works system, and
there will be considerable satisfaction
for the advocates of that kind of
public service in last Saturdays
News from Kenosha. The water
works plant in that city, which was
taken over from a private company
ten years ago, has paid off in that
time $45, 900 of it's Indebtedness, be-
sides giving the citizens the lowest
rates of any city in the state where
municipal ownership does not exist.
If this can be done in Kenosha, it I'M
doubted1y can be done in Sheboygan.
The purchase price is considerably
larger here, but the consumers are
more numerous. The Sheboygan

WILL FORBID DANCES
Encyc1ica1 is Expected From Pope and
Synod of Province Will Act

The encyclical which is expected
shortly from Rome, according to dis
patches, forbidding Catholics from at
tending Saturday night dances, will
meet with the hearty appreciation and
cooperation of Archbishop Messmer.
While bishop of the Green Bay do
cese he promulgated a diocesan stat
ute making attendance at Saturday
night dances matter of reservation,
and the question is expected to come
up before the synod, which is to be
held after Easter. At that time it is
probable that these dances will be
forbidden throughout the province of
Milwaukee.
Rev. B. A. Traudt, secretary to the
archbishop, said: eff such an order
comes from the Pope, it will be hailed
with joy by every priest, and espec-
tally by those living in the country
districts, where the practice of hold
ing Saturday night and even Sunday
dances is most prevalent. The priests
there have a hard time fighting them.
Such an order would be really a
blessing"

INSTALL NEW OFFICERS.
Woodmen of Kenosha Have Pleasant
Gathering Tuesday Night.


Gathering Tuesday Night.
Woodcraft held full sway Tuesday
evening at the annual installation of
officers of the local camps. The A.
O U. w. hall was prettily decorated
for the occasion, the festoons of red,
green and white ming1ing with Royal
Neig hbor purple made most pleas
ing scene.
Following the usual ritua1istic form,
the officers of Lake View camp 1926,
r. N. of A. and of Pike Woods camp
391, M. w. A. were duly installed in
their respective offices, j. E. Krich-
baum presiding as installing officer.
Hon. E. B. Be1den of Racine, was
present and responded with pleasing
address. His speech, favored strongly
with his love for the order, and with
points of advice and encouragement,
was well received.
A short musical and literary pro-
gram, prepared by the Royal Neigh
bors was rendered. It consisted of a
piano and violin solo by Miss Ball and
Master Bienneman, recitations by
Willie Ball, Elizabeth Rapp and
Harold Rehrn, song by Misses Grace
and Edna Ball. All of the young
people acquitted themselves with
great credit and were literally APP
plauded.
A pleasing part Of the evening ex-
ercises was the presentation on the
part of the Royal Neighbors of beauti-
full badges to Oracle, Mrs. Clark,
Recorder Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Boehm and
Managers, Mrs. Thomas and Mr.. c..
Shearer. MRS. Clark is entering upon
her second term as executive officer
of Lake View camp, and Consul
Dwight House, of Pike Woods camp,
was installed for the third consecutive
term. This goes to show that the
members Of both camps have implicit
confidence in their leaders.

H. KettIehut and E. PufaII Ar
rested On Charge Of Criminal
Relations With Little Girls
THE VICTIMS TELL or CRIME
Two Accused Men Arrested on Tues
day Evening and Both Declare That
They Are Innocent of Charges
Brought Against Them

One of the most revolving cases
known in the criminal annals of Ke-
nosha county was brought to light on
Monday night when Herman Kettle
hut and his son-in-1aw, Emil Pufa11,
were arrested on charge of having
criminal relations with Martha MARI
field and Annie Smith, two little girls
aged ten and eight years respec-
lively.
The complaint for the arrest Of the
two men was made by ]. HI. Karnes,
the agent of the Kenosha Humane So
ciety. The warrants for the arrest of
the men were issued by Justice Sturges
just after o'clock and within an hour
Chief of Police Reinold had arrested
Kett1ehut and landed him in iail
/ When the officers took Kettlehut into
custody at his home in the south vest
ern part of the city the man was evil
IDENTIFY aware Of the charge on which
he had been arrested, as before
the warrant was read to him he began
to make excuses and declared that
there had been nothing of an unlawful
nature Ia his relations with the MARI
! field girl. Pufa11 was not at his home
1 when the chief went after the man,
but he was arrested just after 5
O'Clock Tuesday night by Agent
Karnes.
The complaint in the case alleges a
most fearful crime, but the stories
4 told hxy+1 Se1c Of 1,
sensational nature that they are unfit
for the public print. For more than
a week Agent Karnes has been look
ing into the charges against Kettle
hut and Pufa11 and as result of these
investigations the police declare that
there is no doubt but that the evil
dence against the two men is strong
enough to convict them of the crime
charged.
1t is claimed by Agent Karnes that
the men have sought to extend their
power over other little girls in the
western part of the city and that sew
eral other children had been marked
as their victims. Kett1ehut is nearly
| so years of age and has resided in Ke-
nosha for six or seven years. Pufa11
is % years old. He married Annie
Kettlehut who a short time before
her marriage figured in very sensa-
tional case in the justice courts.
The two little girls are both mem
bers of families residing in the west
ern part of the city and it is claimed
that their parents will insist that the
two men arrested be Prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law. The
charge under which the men have
been arrested carries one of the heavi-
est penalties laid down by the Wiscon-
sin statutes and should the men be
convicted they will be liable to a
prison sentence of from five to thirty
five years.
This is the first case Of this sort to
be brought to light in Kenosha in
many years and it is certain that the
officials will see that the charge is
prosecuted with all possible vigor.
Kettlehut and Pufa1l we're brought
before Justice Sturges this morning,
and the hearing in the case was con-
tinued until tomorrow. Bonds of each
of the men were fixed at $40, 900, and
they returned to jail.

THREE farms have just been pur-
chased in the northern part of the
state by the experiment station of the
University of Wisconsin. 1t is the
purpose of the experts in agriculture
to carry out Investigations on these
farms which it is hoped and believed
will prove of great value to the farm
ers of that section and be of great as
sistance in its development. The
knowledge gained by the scientists
of the university in their experiments
is at the disposal of the farmers, who
are rapidly learning to take advant-
age of it, and careful study of the
conditions in the north will probably
result in such an Improvement in the
methods Of treating the soils as will
transform what has been commonly
regarded as practically barren area
into one of the most productive Sec
tions of the state. Farming is rapidly
becoming a science and Wisconsin is
one of the first states to recognize
that fact and scatter little bread
upon the waters in the form of little
money for intelligent investigation Of
its soils and natural resources which
is returned an hundred fold in the in
creased productiveness of the lands
whose owners are intelligent enough
to take advantage Of the knowledge
put at their disposal by the state.

any too well pleased in the delay in

plants, but now that the monopoly is
in control again they object to paying
two prices for one service.
