MUST FACE CHARGES
Jacob Gerboyitz Held to the Cir
cult Court on Charge of At
tempting to Shoot His Wife
SAYS LOVE MADE HIM INSANE

Jacob Gerbovitz, arrested on a
charge of assau1ting with intent to
murder his wife Emma Gerbovitz,
had preliminary hearing before JUS
tice Sturges this morning, and was
held to the Circuit court in bonds of
So, 600. Being unable to furnish the
bonds he returned to jail, and will
wait for trial at the March term Of
the Circuit court.
The hearing of the accused man
was devoid of sensational incidents
and only few witnesses were .ex-
amined. Mrs. Gerbovitz was not
called as witness by the state, and
the husband did not suggest that she
testify in hisr behalf. Gerbovitz con-
Quoted his own defense and called nc
witnesses.
He took the stand him self and told a
long and rambling story of his life
which had little to do with the
charges against him, but seemed to
indicate that at the time of the shoot
ing he was mentally incapable. He
stated as an excuse for his deed that
he was so in love with his wife that
he could not bear to be separated
from her and insisted that it was his
love fer her that inpelled him to att
tack her on the street onsthe morning
of the shooting.
The witnesses for the state included
a numberiof the employees of the JEFF
fiery factory, swho had witnessed the
shooting, and their evidence was
deemed entirely sufficient to hold
Gerbovitz to the Circuit Court. Mrs.
Gimpel, the mother of Mrs. Gerbovitz,
was called to the stand and testified
in regard to certain letters which had
been written to her by Gerbovitz
which indicated that the sman was
laboring under great mental strain.
The hearingaattracted large crowd
of spectators to the court room.
After the hearing was over Mrs.
Gimpel in speaking of the case stated
that she did not desire to condone the
crime ofsGerbovitz but that she be-
lieved that the man was not in his
right mind and that he should be COM
mitted to some hospital rather than to
penal institution.

Good Old Times Texas.

The frequent firing of guns in the
north part Of town is evidence Of the
would-be wild and woolly fellows be,
ing in existence, in spite of the civil
lied state reached by the average peo-
pie Of the country. At least three
nights Of this week unknown parties
have galloped through the streets Of
North Orange firing their guns at
random. Occasionally officers are sue
cessful in hunting down these cattle
guilty Of handling a gun in the above
inanner, and when once apprehended
the right punishment is generally ad-
nlinistered. Orange Tribune.

NEAR RAILWAY STATION
First Assistant Postmaster General
Speaks of Postoffice Sites

First Assistant Postmaster General
Speaks of Postoffice Sites
The report Of the first assistant
postmaster general which has just
been received at the local office is Of
interest to Kenosha people on account
Of the pertinent statement made in
regard to sites for proposed govern
ment buildings. The report declares
that it is the will of the department
that in all cities where new buildings
are to be erected the buildings shall be
built as near as possible to the rail-
way station of the city. He states
that this is sought in order to make
it possible to secure more rapid re-
ceipt and dispatch Of the mails from
the different Offices. IF this sugges-
ton is followed in Kenosha the re-
port should be quite an aid to the
Simmons and Fisher sites offered for
the use of the government.
Postmaster Maloney.states that he
has received absolutely no report
from the supervising architect or the
secretary of the treasury in regard to
the site.

RUMBLE GIRL PAROLED
LichtenteIler's Alleged Wife is Allowed
to Return to Lake Geneva


Annie Rumple, the alleged girl ac-
complete of Fred Lichtenteller, who
is wanted on charge of grand lar
ceny, is no longer at the county jail.
She was released on Wednesday on
parole and she returned with her
father and other relatives to Lake
Geneva. The officials allowed the girl
to go with the understanding that she
will return to Kenosha at any time
her presence may be demanded. There
is little doubt but that she will keep
her parole, as she seems to be DESTROYS
of giving the officers every possible
aid in their search for Lichtenteller.
In the meantime the officials have
notified the Milwaukee police that
Lichtenteller is supposed to be in that
city and every possible effort is being
made to find him.

man had lived as husband and wife in
several places. AS further cause Of

HOUSE PASSES BILL
River and Harbor Bill Appropriatipg
$4,000 for Kenosha Passed

The first step for Kenosha in secur-
ing an appropriation for the harbor
was completed late Thursday after
noon, when the National House of
Representatives passed the River and
Harbor bill carrying an appropriation
OF VIZ, 600 for the Kenosha harbor. 1t
IS not thought that the bill will meet
with any great opposition in the SEN
ate, as its provisions are of such a
Ege neral nature that there will be little
or no opposition to it.
The appropriation for the Kenosha
harbor will become available about
the first Of next July if the bill passes
the Senate and is approved by the
President.

Nantucket fishermen who hitherto
have been obliged TO dress, pack and
ship their own fish.
During the past week cod fish have
been struck in plentiful numbers off
the island. During the winter the
weather has been SO severe that the
fishing industry has been practically
ut a standstill and this new turn Of
luck has been seized upon eagerly by
the fishermen.

GERS or the oversecrs of the poor of the
town would act under the same cir
cumctancCS.
But we find this scheme of impoS-
ing duties upon the MAYOR ana alder
men Of tho cities MOI only running
through the statute, but, 80 far rs We
know, the charters and ordinances Of
the cities Of the State. The ordinances
before US expressly provide. the term
municipal officers means the mayor and
aldermen This is but the reitcr1tion
of the statute. Section ]. Chapter 81 Of
the same ordinances, provides the lnu-
nicipal officers shall be tn" oversccrs Of
the poor etc. Section 4. "rhey may ap-
point q clerk, prescrib" his duties and
fix his salary We have no doubt that
these ordinances follow the analogy Of
In" statute ana intend that, whenever
the term municipal officers is used. it
means that the mayor and aldermen
are 10 act together as one board with
respect to the matter before them, IN
the same manner as the sclcctmen or
ovcrscerS of the poor would act upon Il
similar matter in a town government;
that is. the mayor and aldermen act as
one body, each having equal voice or
vote.
IF this We're not so. and the mayor.
as one of the municipal officers, or u
member of the board of oVerSeerS, IS
to exercise only and precisely the pow
erS and duties he is entitled to employ
as MAYOR presiding over the board Of
aldermen. then it would ne useless en-
actment. either Of the statutes or the
ordinances, to say that the term ni-
uicipal officers means the mayor ana

mayor in voting for the clerk of tn"
oyersecers exercised only the right
vested in him by authority Of the law
Of the State and the ordinances of the
