NOW SEEK TO CONDEMN
Chicago & Milwaukee Co. Would Take
Land by Legal Way

A formal application for the con-
demnation of land claimed by the
Montgomery Lumber company and by
the Chicago & Milwaukee railway
company, has been filed in the office
of the clerk of the circuit court, aud
while no time has been set for the
hearing of the petition it is expected.
that it will come up in the circuit
court some time next week.
The condemnation proceedings will
be bitterly contested by the Lumber
company, as the managers have
stated that the land is not for sale.
and the attorney for the company
holds that the land is not demanded
for railway purposes by the railway
company. 1t has been stated that
the company seeks the land for uses
as station, and that the right to
condemn for this purpose is given
under the Wisconsin laws. It is pro-
bable that all other actions will be
held in obeyance pending the outcome
OF the condemnation proceedings.

TO HEAR BOTH SIDES
Judge QuarIes Lays Down New
Rule in Regard to Injunctions
in the United States Court
MUST BE FAIR TO ALL PARTIES

|
There will be no more government
by injunction" in the United States
court for the Eastern district of Wis
consin. at least until the opposite side
IN the case has had an opportunity
for hearing, according to an official
pronunciamento of Judge ]. V.
Quarles, of that court, issued Friday.
Judge Quar1es said that hereafter
he should issue no more iniunctions
upon an ex parte hearing. The de-
PENDANT shall be warned of the appli-
cation and have an opportunity to
present his side of the case before a
restraining order is issued by the
branch of the United States courtover
which he presides.
This decision was arrived at by
Judge Quarles as result of a recent
experience he encountered. Upon a
statement of facts, as presented by
petitioner, the court granted an in
junction and restraining order, as
prayed for. After the restraining or
der had been issued the defendant APP
peared before the court and presented
its side of the case, as a result of
which a modification of theIinjunct ion
was ordered, preserving the present
status of the case until the issues
shall be determined. Hence the de-
termination of Judge Ouarles to give
both sides hearing before granting
the prayer of petitioner for an in
junction.
Judge Quarles himself characterized
his action as being an extreme de-
parture from the accepted practice in
United States courts, but said that he
had pondered the step long and we'll
before arriving at decision, but
that, having decided, he should hold
to his judgment in future actions of
this kind.
1t is but fitting that this far-reach-
ing step should be taken by the same
court from which was issued that
epoch-making injunctiona1 order by
Judge ]. G. Jenkins during the
American railway union troubles in
1894, the decision which, more than
any other one thing, gave rise to the
phrase, government by injunction y
1t will be remembered that Judge
jenkins at that time issued a restrain
ing order against the employees of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
restraining them from striking as had
been ordered by the American Rail
way union.
1t was this action that established a
precedent which has been followed to
a greater or less extent, to the detri-
ment many times of the labor unions,
until the present time. Whether the
precedent thus established by sue
cessor of Judge Jenkins will in turn
find followers on the federal bench,
remains to be seen.

County Board Decides on Private
Heating Plant for the Court
House and County Jail
RECORDS ORDERED PURGED
All Reference to Personal Contests
Before the Board to be Elimi-
mated in the Printed Rec
Ords Of the Board

The board of county supervisors,
after an nninteresting session of FIVE
days, adjourned on Saturday, and
the members have returned to their
homes in the different parts of the
county. This is the last session of
the board, as it is now constituted, for
before the November session an cleo
ton will be held in the different
towns, and in several cases, at least,
new men will be chosen.
The only really important business
of the January session of the board
came up late Friday afternoon, when
the board, by a unanimous vote, de-
cided to place a private heating plant
in the court house. The building at
the present time is heated from the
central heating plant, and the ex-
pense for heating the court house and
jail is 1915 year. It was, stated to
the board that this contract rate
could not be renewed, and for this
reason the board decided on new
plant. The plant will be an s'Idea1"
boiler, which will be connected with
the radiators now in use. There is
already private heating plant in
the basement of the jail. With the
new boiler at the county building the
members of the board believe that it
will be possible to have a heating
plant by which the buildings can be
heated at price far below the
amount charged by the city heating
company.
The work of installing the plant
was left in the hands of a committee,
consisting Of Supervisors Burg, Elem
ing and the county. agent. This COM
mittee has power to act, but it is un-
aderstood that the cost is not to exceed
$500. Bids for plant were taken on
Friday, but they were not satisfactory
to the board, and the committee ia
charge of installing the plant will ask
for new bids. C. H. Goodman pre-
sented the lowest bid under the orig
inal specifications.
On Saturday the board had an i'm
portant matter in regard to cleaning
the records of the personalities which
had been INDUCED in between Super
visor of Assessments Harrison and
Mayor German and none Of the argu-
ment of the two men will be handed
down to posterity in the printed pro-
ceedings Of the county board. On the
action of the board all evidence taken
at the sessions on Wednesday and all
reference to the personal differences
of Mr.. Harrison and the mayor will be
eliminated. In order to be perfectly
fair the board decided that all portions.
Of the report Of the supervisor of
assessments with the exception of the
tabulated matter should be stricken
from the records of the board and it
will not appear in the regular printed
proceedings.

FIND MISSING GIRL
Movie Richards, Who Left Keno
sha Many Years Ago, is Lo-
Gated at Kansas City
SOLUTION OF OLD MYSTERY

|944Thel filing inthe county court of an
application for the appointment of
guardian for the minor son Of the late
AiIrnA Richards has brought solution
for an old Kenosha mystery. Four or
five years ago Mol1ie Richards, the
daughter of Mrs. Richards, disap-
peared from Kenosha and at the same
time Herman Reidenbach; a we'll
known musician, disappeared. AT
the time it was alleged that the two
had e1oped but the relatives of both
the girl and Reidenbach insisted that
this was not true. In the app1ica ton
for the appointment of the guardian
for.c tFe boy, the petition states that
he has one sister, Mollie Reidenbach,
Fwhosis now residing at Kansas City,
Mo- s}5
For more than two years after the
departure of Reidenbach and the girl
the police officers searched for the
pair. Descriptions of them were
sent to nearly every state in the
union but no trace of them was
found. At one time it was claimed
that Reidenbach was in hospital in
one of the southern states but at that
time 1t was stated that the Richards
girl was not with him. Many months
ago Mrs. Reidenbach, who had re-
manned true to her husband, gave up
thelsearch and was awarded a divorce
in the circuit court. From the state
ments of the application for guardian
ship it is evident that Reidenbach and
the Richards girl are now married.
It was claimed that up to the time
of the death of Mrs. Richards, which
occurred at q. state institution some
weeks ago, she had not known the
real facts in the case but she had al
ways insisted that her daughter had
been married to Reidenbach. While
the man was guilty of violating one of
the laws of the state it is not probable
that the local officers will make any
effort to have him brought back to.

Engineer Ross, of Milwaukee, to
Present Estimates on NUM-
cipal Lighting Plant
ROUGH COST ABOUT $50, 600
Mayor German Has Called the Com
mittee to Meet Next Week, and
if Bonds are to be Voted it
Will be atNext Election

Engineer Ross of the Milwaukee
Engineering company came to Keno
sha on Friday afternoon and spent
several hours looking over plans for
the building of a municipal lighting
plant in the city. He was aided in
his work by Mayor German and the
members of the special committee in
charge Of the work of installing mu-
nicipa1 plant.
The engineer spent several hours
at the water works plant, and it is
his intention to give the council an
estimate on the installation of a lig hit
ing plant in connection with the pres
ent power house. The rough estimate
of the cost as made by the engineer
is placed at from 500, 900 to $34, 900 for
800 light system.
Mr.. Ross will prepare more detailed
figures of his estimate during the
coming week, and they will be pre-
scented at special meeting of the
committee early next week. The Mil
waukee Engineering company is now
installing municipal plant at Strea-
tor, Ill. 1t is said that the system
being put in there is entirely satisfac-
tory to the people of that city.
The main object in rushing the
work on the estimates at the present
time is brought about by the fact that
Mayor German and the other members
of the committee are anxious to have
the council take some definite action
on the proposition before the coming
city election. While it is expected
that the mayor will make the fight for
municipal ownership his slogan in the
campaign, he is anxious to have the
council back of him in the matter,
and what is more he would have the
matter presented squarely to the peo-
pie in the way of bond proposition.
If the municipal plant is to be built
the city will be forced to Issue bonds
to pay for the installation of the plant
and before this can be done the propo-
sition will have to be submitted to the
people at an election. If the council
decides on the installation of light
ing plant and approves the estimate
VI lAAN AAAA w q INV |AAS AASSAS oo ~ lAAO
cost, the bond proposition can be sub
nitted to the people at the city cleo
ton and this will do away with the
necessity of holding a special election
later in the year. If the people are in
favor of the municipal lighting plant
they can settle the matter once and
for all with the vote on the bond
issue.
It is thought that it would be neces-
sary to issue bonds to the amount of
$4,000 and this would bring the
bonded Indebtedness of the city up to
1902, 900. OF -course the 1882, 900 bonds
would cover the water works and the
proposed lighting plant. The inter
est on the added bonds would be only
a little over 81, 500 a year, and this
would not be great burden on the
taxpayers.
The engineer who visited the city
yesterday seemed to be certain that
the plant would prove paying in
vestment for the city and insisted
that it would more than pay the OPP
Grating expenses and the interest on
the bonds.

ICE HARVEST ON IN EARNEST
Men Being Rushed to Lake Districts to
Take Advantage of Cold Weather


Take Advantage of Cold Weather
The ice cutting season in Kenosha
county is on in earnest today and
every train from Chicago brought out
bands of workmen who will go to
work at the different lakes in the
county. On account of the lateness
OF the season the cutters will take no
chances and the harvest will be rushed
with all possible speed. The ice on
the lakes is now more than nine
inches thick and with a few DAYS of
cold weather it will reach a foot in
thickness.
Nearly all of the ice now being
taken from the lakes is being shipped
to Chicago for immediate consump-
ton, but 1T is planned to begin the
work of filling the big houses next
week. The next two weeks will be
the busiest part of the year for the
western part of the county.

FAILS TO KEEP DATE
Young Hungarian Woman Stays
in Kenosha While Guests De-
YOUR Feast Set for Wedding
GIRL TO WE'D KEN0SHA MAN


A summer idy1 which threatens to
wreck the happiness of Henry Dane11a,
IS years old, who resides at Park
Ridge, came to an abrupt termination
Thursday night when his chosen one,
Annie Rivado, o years old, failed to
appear for the ceremony ard festivi-
ties. Now Danella wants the police
to collect for him the costs of the
projected wedding.
I When boy and girl together in
sunny Hungary Dane1la and Miss
Rivado first plighted their troth. The
girl came to America three years ago
with her parents and Danella bravely
set to work to save enough to bring
him to her side again. Six months
ago he came and the couple renewed
their VOWS,
The wedding was set for Thursday
night. Old Magyar ceremonies and
customs were to have been observed.
Danella, in his pride and joy, ordered
Hungarian dainties and plenty of
goulash to entertain thirty guests.
Bright and early Thursday morn
ing the girl told him she wished to go
to Kenosha to extend invitations to
some relatives there. She promised
faithfully to return in the afternoon,
and even told her intended husband
thatS she would return in time to eat
the last meal with him as a bachelor.
Thursday night came and, sur
rounded by guests, the faithful Henry
waited four hours for her appearance
and then set out to search for her.
She had not returned. The guests,
unwilling to sacrifice the dainties, at
tackled the spread, while Dane11a,
sullen and angry, sat at the head of
the table biting his nails. Yesterday
the girl returned and told Dane1la that
a fit of maiden bashfu1ness had kept
her away, but that she was now will
ing to be married at once, but Henry,
unlike Barkis, was not wil1in'.
Grasping the girl by the arm, he
took her to the Park Ridge police
station and asked the police to lock
her up till she paid the costs of the
feast the guests devoured. The police
had to threaten him with arrest before
he would let the girl go.
When the girl reg aimed her freedom
she immediately went home, packed
up her belongings and hied herself to
the Northwestern depot, where she
boarded the first train to Kenosha.
AS the train pulled out Of the station
she shouted to a number of Danel1a's
friends that she was going to Keno
sha to marry man that instead of
working on a farm owned brass
works. "

SUNDAY EVENING FIRE
Firemen Fight a Small Blaze at the
Home of w. M. Duncan


A burning chimney at the home of
w. M. Duncan at $50 Prairie avenue,
resulted in a still alarm being sent to
the fire department just after Z o clock
Sunday evening, and the firemen
were forced to fight the fire in an
unusual manner. The chimney had
sent sparks to all parts of the roof and
as there was no pressnreon the mains
the fremen secured ladders and climb
ing to the roof of the house beat out
the fire. By some rare luck the sparks
failed to ignite the roof.
The pressure on the water mains at
the time of the fire was so low that it
would have been impossible to stop
the advance Of the fire. The loss as
result of the blaze was about SIS. The
house is owned by Mrs. Frank Black
man.

FAD NARROW ESCAPE
Unknown Persons Fire Bullet Into the
Home of Game Warden nj. K1eist

home OF came w warden MI. hle1St
Deputy Game Warden Michael
Kleist had narrow escape from be-
ing killed at his home at sol Grant
street Friday night, when unknown
parties fired bullet into his house.
The bullet had evidently been fired
from short range as it passed right
through the weather boarding of the
house and lodged on the other side of
the room. AT the time the shot was
fired, Mr.. K1eist was rocking one of
his babies to sleep and the bullet
whizzed by close to his head but did
no damage. Kleist rushed to the
front of the house, but there was no
one in sight. He is certain that the
bullet coming into the house was ac-
cidenta1 and it is his opinion that it
was fired at random from some street
near by. The matter was not reported
to the police.

40 Taxpayers Signify Their Intention

40 Taxpayers Signify Their Intention
of Paying Cash for New Sewers
The fact that money is plentiful
among the workingmen of Kenosha
has been shown by the fact chat 40 of
the $50 people taxed for the building
OF the new system of sewers have
signifed their intention of paying
cash. When it is shown that more
than eighty lots taxed for the i'm
provement are owned by the Kenosha
Realty company and are to be sold
with the sewer tax unpaid the report
of the clerk shows that more than
half of the property owners have de-
cided to pay cash.
The sewers cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and almost 5000 of
the amount will be paid in cash.
