James Larsen, Former Kenosha
Man, Disappears Under Un-
usual Circumstances
MYSTIC WORKERS TO SEARCH
Work in Montana and His Relatives
Believe That He Has Met With
Foul Play or an Accident

Relatives of James Larsen, a former
Kenosha man, have appealed to the
local chapter of the Mystic Workers,
of which Larsen was member, for
aid in seeking to locate the man who
has mysterious1y disappeared and of
whom no trace can be found. Larsen
is about 20 years of age and he is a son
of Mrs. William H. Wardman of this
city. He left Kenosha early in Feb
ruary last and startedawest in search
of permanent employment. Members
of the family heard from the young
man regularly until the middle of last
May, when the letters ceased to ar
rive, and since that time absolutely
no word has been received from him
and no trace of him can be found. At
the time that the last letter was re-
ceived Larsen had arrived Ia Mon
tana and was planning to go to some
small town in th-t state to seek a po-
sition. The friends are badly handi-
capped in the search on account of
the fact that they have no idea as to
what town the young man had
planned to go, as in his letters he had
promised to write from his new home
as soon as he was settled. The
friends of Larsen feel convinced that
he has met with some mishap or with
some foul play, as he has always kept
in close touch with the members of
his family, aud they feel certain that
if he were able to communicate with
them he would.
The Mystic Workers will take up
the search for the man and every
chapter of the order in the country
will be asked to seek some trace of
him. The officials of Montana will
also be asked to take up search and
descriptions of the man will be sent
to every police department in that
state in hopes that in this manner
some trace of the man can be found.
1t is just possible that Larsen met
with fatal accident and that he has
been buried as an unknown far from
home and friends. /.
Larsen was we'll known in Kerosl1a
and the report Of his strange disap-
pearance has caused quite a sensa-
ton. The disappearance of Larsen is
very similar to the disappearance of
one of the heirs to the estate of the
late Roscoe Torrey. Both of the men
went to Montana and both of them
dropped out of sight under the same
conditions.

City and County Officials Have a Long
Search for Stanley cepanski

City and County Officials Have Long
Search for Stanley cepanski
Stanley Cepanski, an eleven year old
Polish boy, caused the officials Of the
city and county no end offrouble Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday morning.
The boy had gone out on Saturday to
search for mushrooms and when he
failed to return in the evening his
parents appealed to the police and to
the county officers to search for him.
Searching parties were sent out and
in some cases the men and women
searched all night for the boy, but
nothing was heard of him until Sun
day morning, when the police re-
ceived a message from Charles HI.
Whitcher, former sheriff, telling of
how boy answering the description
had been found wandering about the
village of Hickory, Ill.
1t is supposed that the boy lost his
way and in effort to reach his home
wandered to the Illinois village. His
relatives went out to get him Monday
morning and there will be happy re.
union when the boy gets home this
evening.

ON ENCOURAGEMENT CHARGE
North Side Baker Arrested on Com
plant of J. l.. Pofahl Monday

plant OF j Ls POfahl MONDAY
Elias Maggie, proprietor of bakery
at 305 North Chicago street, was ar
rested late Monday afternoon by Chief
of Police Owen O'Hare on charge Of
embezzlenent preferred by j. L. Po-
fahl, of the Richter Pofahl Baking
Co. The man is charged with con-
verting to his own use $44.O2 of the
moneys Of the baking company. He
was arraigned in court this morning
and the hearing continued until next
Monday morning.
Maggie claims that he has not en-
bezz1ed cent of the money of the
company. He was formerly employed
by the company and quit fews days
ago to open the new store. On Sat
urday he was forced to remain in the
store and did not have time to collect
the money from patrons of the Pofahl
company, and he alleges that for this
reason he had made no settlement
with the company. Maggie was re-
leased on bond and it is expected that
he will make hard fight when the
case comes up. Attorney B. @. Stur-
ges is defending him and he claims
that there was absolutely no ground
for his arrest.

MAY EFFECTKENOSH
Attorney John v. Kelly of MiIwau-
kee Gives Opinion on Nun
icipaI Commercial Lighting
COMMISSION MUST ACT FIRST

Attorney John T. Kelly, city attor.
ney of Milwaukee, after many months
of investigation has handed down
opinion in regard to the rights of
cities to enter the field of commercial
electric lighting which will be of
some interest in Kenosha on account
of the present agitation in favor of
the building of municipal lighting
plant. The attorney states that the
law clearly shows that it is impossible
for any city in Wisconsin to use
municipal plant for the supply of
light on commercial circuits without
first having laid the matter before the
Wisconsin Railway Commission and
have that body issue an order show
ing that it is absolutely necessary for
the city petitioning to go into the
business IN order to supply lights to
the people al a@price that is in keep
ing with the service rendered. No
such case has ever been taken be-
fore the Railway Commission, and it
is understood that when such a case
is taken before the commission, the
private lighting company acting
under special charters from the state
will contest it to the bitter end.
The decision of the attorney will
probably force the city of Milwaukee
to givesup the plans now on hand for
the building of municipal plant in
that city. In Kenosha the plan to
supply lights on commercial circuits
has been discussed at length, but
when the last plan for a municipal
plant was made the city did not con-
tenn plate the building of commercial
circuits. However, the municipal
plant has always considered plan
to have the city sooner or later offer
commercial lighting for the people of
the city. There seems to be a gen.
era1 tendency all over the state to
get away from the municipality owned
plants and this sentiment is Begin
ming to appear in Kenosha. The 10.
cal people are doing nothing with the
municipal proposition at this time,
but it is expected that it will come up
in time to be used as campaign
issue.
It is said that the officials of the
KenoshaIGas & Electric company are
planning to offer the city new con-
tract and it is possible that the action
on the matter will be largely deter
mined by the contents of the proposed
new contract wish the company.

Sheboygan Spells Racine's Last
Chance to Finish Ahead Of
kenosha Team
MANIToWoC WALLoPS PORTS
LEAGUE STANDING.
Games Sunday.

Oam6AS SuHUdy0
Manitowoc "a; Port Washingt ton Oh.
Sheboygan I; Racine 0.
Milwaukee, Kenosha (wet grounds.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Kenosha Lake Shore League team did
not play on Sunday, the Kenosha
fans took great interest in the re-
suit of the League games. and as a
consequence of the defeat of Racine
by Sheboygan it is now impossible
for the Racine team to pass the Ke-
nosha team, and Kenosha is certain to
finish IN the first division, and she
will fight it out with Milwaukee for
the honor of third place in the
League.
The Racine-Sheboygan game was a
hummer, and the Sheboygan team
won in the first inning, when the only
score of the game crossed the plate.
This pushed Racine out of the rum
ming for place in the first division.
Many of the Kenosha fans had
wagered that the local team would
finish ahead Of Racine, and quite a
little of the money of the Racine fans
will come to Kenosha by Raciness de-
feat ca Sunday.
The double victory of the Manito-
voc team over Port Washington ended
any chance of the Kenosha team tax.
ing the pennant, as if the Kenosha
team would win the two remaining
games they could not finish in better
than third place The best that the
Ports car do will be TO tie with Ra-
cine for fifth place in the league race
and they must win both games IN or
der 20 get this standing. 1t is prob
a BILE that at least one of the Kenosha
games will be called off as the Wan
kegan team did not play with the
Riverview team on Sunday and there
seems no inclination on the part of
the Waukegan management to play
out the season.
The managers of the league have
taken steps to get the league under
the national baseball commission be-
fore the opening of another season
and this matter will be taken up at
the annual meeting Of the league
managers to be held in Milwaukee
early IN November. The minor
league teams have played havoc with
the teams in the league this season
and many of the best players have
been ruGhless1y stolen from Lake
Shore League teams in order to fill up
gaps In the minor league teams.
