Police Round Up a Band of Four Men
in the Western Part of the City
The western part of the city and par
ticularly the districts about the North
Western depot, had visitation from
tramps on Sunday afternoon, and a
band of dozen of the wanderers
went about the depot insulting men
and women and making themselves
generally obnoxious to the public.
officers Leik and B;ennemann were
called to the scene of the trouble and
four of the men were placed under arr
rest and landed in jail. This morning
they we're arraigned before Justice
McCarron and all pleaded guilty to a
charge of intoxication. They we're
fined 81 and costs each, and none of
them having the money to pay, they
were sent to Jail for a period of fifteen
days.
1t seems that the usual camp has
been opened by the tramps just south
of the city, and they are planning to
get their living out of Kenosha for the
next few months. 1t is alleged that
the men were formerly employed by
the Chicago & North Western Railway
Co, and when they we're discharged
they made for Kenosha. The police of
the city and the sheriff of the county
are uniting in the effort to drive these
men ont of the county,

LOST OPENING GAME
Kenosha Base Bail Team Defeat
! eddy CaIIahan's Logan Square
Team in Chicago
c CUMMINGS is POUNDED HARD

It was an inauspicious opening.
Manager Breen and his Kenosha base
ball team travelled to Chicago Sunday
for the opening Of the season of 1906
and they returned in the evening with
black mark to their account. They
had been defeated by Jimmy" Gala
hans Logan Square team bya score
of eleven to four. Notwithstanding
the high score against the local team
the boys showed up pretty we'll for
the first game of the season. The
team was not in practice and the
pitching force was weak. Cummings,
the former university pitcher, was
pitted against Callahan and while he
pitched good game he was not up to
the standard Of the former league
idol. Callahan was in great form
and he allowed the Kenosha boys but
four hits and two of these were Of the
scratch order. On the other hand the
Logan Square hitters, nearly all of
whom we're former leaguers, pounded
Cummings viciously and the seven
errors made by the Kenosha players
made it an easy proposition for the
Chicago team to win.
The Kenosha team was a man short
and Manager Breen donned uniform
and went out on second base. He
played a good game at that and man
aged to get out with single error.
The Kenosha infield showed the lack
of practice badly and the large NUM-
Der Of ertors charged against the
third baseman and the short stop
shows that there was big hole in
that part of the in6e1d. "Big" Bill.
Knipple took up the glove on first
base again and played just as if it
was in the middle Of the summer.
Healy, who caught for Kenosha, was
little off and he had one error
charged to him. Walter Breen, the
new fielder, made good from the
start and his grand stand catch was
one of the features of the game. The
team showed decided weakness in
hitting and Hanks, Feiting, Breen
and Laabs were the only Kenosha
players to get the ball out of the
diamond for base.
The Kenosha team will open on it's
own field on next Sunday when the
boys will line up against the strong
team from Port Washington.
The following is the score of the

MARSHALL is FREE
Another Kenosha Convict is Re.
leased FromsGreen Bay on
Writ of Habeas Corpus
ERROR GRANTS HIM FREEDOM

John Marshall, another one of the
Kenosha inmates of the state re-
formatory at Green Bay, was released
from the institution on Saturday. He
secured his release by means of a
writ of habeas corpus under
the claim that he had been sent to the
institution under an improper com.
mitment. The proceedings for the
release of Marshall werej instituted
by District Attorney Baker of this
county.
Marshall had been ,sent to Green
Bay to servean in1eterminate sentence
Of from three to five years, having
been sentenced by Judge Be1den after
pleading guilty to a charge of burg
larry. 1t was discovered short time
ago that under the statute, Marshal
could not be sent to the institution
for a period longer than three years
and the possible fve,years of service
opened the loop hole by which he
escaped. He is the fourth man to Sc
cure his freedom from Green Bay in
the last few months and it is strange
that all of these men should have
been from Kenosha county.
The crime for which Marshall was
committed to the state institution
was committed more than two years
ago. He was caught in the act of
burg1arizing a saloon on Milwaukee
avenue Marshall had been suspected
by the police of being connected with
number of petty burglaries in the
city and on the night of his capture
he had been carefully watched by the
officers for several hours. Never
Dire aiming that he was under survei1-.
lance, Marshall went to the North
side and hung around the corner until
after the saloon had been closed up
and then made an entrance through
one of the windows. He was at work
footing the place when the police
followed him through the window and
caused his arrest. On the trial of the
case Marshall pleaded guilty and was
sentenced. He has returned to Keno
sha and it is stated that he is enti. e1y
reformed.

WESTERN CANADA
The Worlds Greatest Wheat Fields at
Low Prices


The opening of the vast wheat belt
in Western Canada has demonstrated
the fact that the American farmer
knows good thing and that good
farm lands are always in demand.
Thousands of farmers and settlers
from every state in the Union have
taken advantage of the low prices of
prairie wheat lands, either for in
vestment or actual settlement and are
already reaping handsome profits.
The great transcontinenta1 lines of
railroad now traverse the entire sec
tion and short lines bringing the
market within easy distance of the
producer are being built. School
houses dot the prairies and towns are
springing up in every locality.
Golden opportunities for home-seekers
and investors are open if taken at

TO SAVE SONG BIRD s
Deputy Game Warden KIeist
Causes Arrest of Two Men
For Killing Birds
BOTH MEN PAY HEAVY FINES
Close Watch Will be Kept on Hunters
in the Future, and all Found
Shooting Song Birds Will
be Prosecuted

& Oeputy Tame warden Michael
Kleist, who is in charge of the en-
forcement of the game laws in this
part of the state, has come to the aid
of the Audubon society and promises
to make crusade for the protection
of harmless" birds in this part of
Wisconsin.
He started the crusade on Sunday
afternoon when he arrested John Bel
lot and G. Britain in the town of
Pleasant Prairie. One of the men
was hunting without alicense and the
other, according to the claims of the
warden, had violated the law by kill
ing thrush, robin, and lark.
The men had gone out into the town
of Pleasant Prairie in the morning,
and it is claimed that they killed sew
eral meadow larks. When the war
den started in pursuit of the men it is
alleged that they hurriedly disposed
of the game, threw away their cart
ridges, and hid the guns. They we're
practically unarmed when captured.
The men were .arraigned before
Justice McCarron this morning, and
after considerable fencing they plead
ed guilty to the charge of killing
song birds and were fined $40 and the
costs of the action. Theyspaid the
fines.
For the past two months repeated
complaints have been made of the
killing Of songs birds, and while many
! of these complaints were sent in from
the rural districts the farmers seem to
be unwilling to aid the officials in
stamping out ti1esevil. Every Sunday
morning an army of.smen and boys
armed with rifles goes out iuto the
country, and it is claimed that there
has been a considerable slaughter of
1arks and other harmless birds. The
farmers in many instances hold that
the robins and 1arks are a nuisance,
and for this reason they have been
unwilling to give the warden the IN
formation necessary to convict the
vio1ators of the law.
Warden Kleist will not only take I'D
the fight in the county, but he will go
after the boys with thes Sling shots
and air-gnns in the1city. These boys
are guilty Of violating ssthe laws just
as much as the menSin thesscountry.
Hundreds of gsong.sbirds are killed
every year in Kenosha, notwithstand-
ing the fact thatsthe schools are at
tempting to teach the boys to pre-
serve them. A few arrests would
probably put stop to the slaughter.
With the early spring few robins
have been seen in this vicinity, but it
is claimed that the killing of song
birds in the past has almost wiped out
the robin family from this part of the
country.
The law is very severe on such VIC
lators, and gives thescourt the right
to assess a fine up to $5Osand not less
than $40. Added to this the convicted
parties may be sent to jail for nom
payment of the fine.

Towns Of Pleasant Prairie and
Somers Set q Hot Pace for
Other County Towns
WILL MACADAM MANY ROADS
Pleasant Prairie to Expend $4,000
and somers $1,000 in Putting
Roads of the Towns in First
Class Condition

Preaching the doctrine of good
roads seems to have already had an
effect in Kenosha county, and the
towns of Somers and Pleasant Prairie
have set hot pace in road building
for the other towns in the county.
Under the leadership of the new
town boards elected at the recent
elections the two towns have made
appropriations for matchmaking
roads. The town of Pleasant Prairie
has been especially active in this
line, and the town board Of that town
will expend $4,000 to put the roads in
condition. The town of Somers has
appropriated but 81, 500, but it is I'M
derstood that this is only starter and
more may be appropriated before the
end of the present year.
The work of these two boards will
inaugurate new regime in road
making in Kenosha county, as the
boards have decided that the roads
will be nacadamized with crushed
stone. 1t is the plan of the officers of
the town of Pleasant Prairie to con-
tinue this work from year to year un-
til every road in the town is placed in
frst-class condition. The work will
be done under the supervision of Town
Clerk Sydney M. Jones, Already the
officials of the town have placed
orders for large amounts of crushed
stone to be delivered at different
points in the town, and the work will
be started on the Sand road and on the
Geneva road. An equal amount of
work will be done on both roads.
The roads will be 1eveled and then
covered with a thick coating of the
crushed stone after which they will
be graveled. Before the town officials
ordered the stone for the roads they
made canvass of the farmers inter
ested and these men consented to
haul the stone without charge. In
this manner the officials will be able
to do a large amount Of work at very
low cost The railway company has
consented to aid in the work to the
extent of dumping the stone at any
point along the roadways SO that the
hau1s will be short and the work will
go forward rapidly. The town has
plenty of funds to carry out the work
planned for the present year and it is
thought that it will be possible to
make an annual appropriation of
$4,000 in the future for! road making
and repairing. In Somers the work
will be done by the same method as
will be used in Pleasant Prairie.
These macadam roads have been
tested in other counties and they are
found to be great improvement over
the old fashioned gravel roads. It is
expected that the work of Somers and
Pleasant Prairie will serve as an ex-
ample to towns in other parts of the
county and that the other town offic-
ials will at once take up the work of
continuing the work started in the
eastern part of the county. An es-
pecial effort will be made to have the
Geneva road macadamized from the
west limits of the city to the extreme
western limits of the county. Nearly
all of the towns of the county have
money lying idle in the town treas
uries and there is a feeling that it
could be spent to good advantage in
repairing the county roads.

CIRCUITCOURTC CONvENEDTUESDAY
Nolan Peads Guilty to Charge OF EN-.
bezzlement.

The June term of the circuit court for
Manitowoc county opened Tuesday
morning.
James p Nolan was arraigned shortly
after 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.
The charge was embezzlement. Atty.
G. q. Sedgwick appeared for Nolan,
Burke & Cratic having withdrawn from
the case. Nolan pleaded guilty to the
first of series of eight counts-that
which charged him with having EN-.
hezzled $500 from Peter Bleser. The
other counts were dismissed, and 'Ie
Judge remanded Nolan to Jail to await
sentence which will be pronounced
soon. The penalty will be term of
one to five years in the states prison.
Nolan's total shortage amounts, it is
said, to something in the neighborhood
of 500 600 Nolan may be prosecuted
later on any of the charges to which he
pleaded not guilty. But it is not likely
that this will ever be done. Nolan looks
worn and haggard.
The case of the State of Wisconsin
versus Edward La Fond, charged with
rape, is now on trial. Burke q Cratic
are the attorneys for the defense.

CLAY COMPANY VISITED
BY DISASTROUS FIRE.

Fire, which started over the boilers
in the plant of the Manitowoc Clay Pro-
duct company shortly after 4 o'clock
Monday morning partially destroyed
that plant. The boiler and engine room,
the machine room with all the machine
ry, two Of the five kilns half of the dry
ing kilns, several outbuildings, POO, 900
brick in process of making and large
quantity of wood stored in the sheds
were burned.
The loss is estimated to exceed $ 600
There is $40, 900 insurance on the plant
The fire was discovered by the night
watchman, Frank Hayward. He sent
in an alarm from box No. ~ at the
plant. The fire department responded
promptly, but the heavy loss was due to
the fact that there was considerable de-
lay in getting mp steam in the fire
engine. 1t was nearly II o'clock when
the department returned to the station.
The company employed 8s men, many
of whom will be temporarily thrown ont
of employment because of the destruc
tive blaze. The plant will be rebuilt
Immediately, and it is expected that it
will again be in operation before July
next.

GAEOkE is RE-INSTATED,

John Gaedke, who short time ago,
resigned from the north side station OF
the city fire department, was re-instated
Friday morning. Gaedkes reason for
resigning was the fact that he thought
he would have difficulty in securing his
pay rs he is but twenty years of age,
and n rule of the department requires
that man must have attained his
majority before he is eligible to take the
examination and serve on the depart
ment. The vacancy created by Gaedlie z
resignation few weeks ago was filled
by the appointment of Hartman.
Now that the former has been re-
instated, it is likely that the latter will
be allowed" to retire from the service.
