ON A SERIOUS CHARGE

Doctor Edward S. Naylor Arrested for
Getting Money Under False Pretenses
Or. Edward S. Naylor, a veteri-
marian, was arrested late Monday
afternoon by Undersheriff George
Villnow on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. He
was brought before Justice Sturges
today and the hearing of the case
continued until May Is. Naylor gave
bonds in the sum of 5000 and was re.
leased. The warrant for the arrest
of DR.. Naylor was issued on the COM
plant of Sam Fredson, a Pleasant
Prairie farmer. Fredson claims that
he had stallion which he desired to
have registered and that Naylor offer
ed to attend to the registration for
five dollars. He gave him the pedigree
of the stallion and a short time later
Naylor returned it to him with what
he claimed was certificate from the
State Veterinarian. Fredson later
discovered that the papers had never
been filed at Madison and sought the
arrest of Naylor. The accused man
claims that the story of Fredson is
false

CITY HALL FIRE

Flames Break Ont in City Engineers
Office but Are Quickly Extinguished
There was small blaze at the City
Hall this mornings when fire broke
out IN waste basket in the office of
the City Engineer, ands before it was
extinguished the desk of the City
Engineer and the telephones were
badly scorched. The fire originated
from burning match beinga thrown
into waste basket ins the office, and
in a second it looked as if the whole
room would be damaged. The en-
ployees of the office starteds out to
call the fire department, but Mrs.
George Harrington, who was in the
Office of the CitySC1erk, got busy and
had the fire under control before the
department arrived. The loss from
the blaze was nominal.

TO GET MORE CAPITAL
Zion Lace Factory Will Not Be Sold To
Marshall Field & Co. as Proposed

Zion Lace Factory Will Not Be Sold to
Marshall Field & Co. as Proposed
Marshall Field & Company are not
to be the purchasers of the Zion lace
works. This was decided Saturday,
when Receiver Hate1y of the estate of
Zion announced that he had secured
$500, 900 additional capital which will
at once be sunk into the lace works
for promotional purposes.
The news is astounding to the peo-
pie of Zion City, who can hardly be-
lieve their good luck, since the lace
works were to be sold to the Chicago
firm for just the amount of capital
raised, $500, 600.
According to reliable information.
the Zion output last month was $685.
600, of which the clear profit was S2o,-
600.
It is probable that with the new
capital the capacity of the lace works
will be increased and better advertise
ments given the products, which as
it is find an eager market.

Johnson Bros. and Tanning s. Hoye the
Latest Additions to Main st. stores
Within the last few days two new
firms have appeared among the BUSH
ness places on Main street, and their
coming is of considerable interest to
the business men of the city. The
first is the firm of Johnson Brothers,
who have succeeded the late NJ. Huck,
the pioneer shoe man in the shoe bus
mess. Walter and Charles Johnson
are the members of the firm. and both
men are we'll known in Kenosha BUSH
ness circles. Both are experienced
shoe statesmen, and they have put in
an entirely new stock at the famous
old stand.
The other new firm is that of Fan
ming & Hoye, which recently took
over the business of Cleary & Fan
ming. Mr.. Tanning has Gbeen con-
nected with the company for nearly a
year, and the new member of the firm
is Ollie Hoye. Mr.. Hoye was in the
grocery business in Kenosha for
more than twenty years, and is widely
known. The new firm has renovated
the store, and as rapidly as possible
an entirely new stock of goods is
being put in.
Both of the new firms will undoubt-
edly merit large trade from the buy
ing public in Kenosha.

he returned to jail to await trial. This
is the second man to be held to the
Court within week on charges of
stabbing with intent to do great
bodily harm and it is pretty certain
that the district attorney will insist
that these cases go to trial before
Judge Be1den. Dirse fled from the
city after the stabbing of his fellow
countryman and he was not captured

Northwestern Steals a March on
Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
by Building over Grand Ave.
RAIL WAY MEN DISCONNECTED
Switch Track Is Laid Within Few
Feet of Site of Proposed Central
Station of Electric Road
at Kenosha

Quite stir was caused in railway
circles in Kenosha this morning when
it became known to the officials of the
Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
Company that the construction crew
of the Northwestern Railway Com
pany had stolen march on them and
had slapped switch track down OF
Grand avenue just few feet east of
the site that had been set aside for the
Central Station of the Chicago aud
Milwaukee road in Kenosha. The
switchstrack was put In without any
warning, but it had been staked out
some time ago. The switch is DE-
signed to lead to the new site of the
yards of the Kenosha Lumber Com
pany and yesterday afternoon the
Northwestern Company sent crew
OF sixty men into the city and before
any one could protest against the
work the tracks had Sbeen laid and
spiked down. President Frost of the
Chicago and Milwaukee heard of the
action of the crew Of the steam road
last night and hurried to inform his
assistants in Kenosha. TheIowner of
the property adjoining the street
where the tracks were laid declares
that there was nothing done that
would interfere with the interests of
the Chicago and Milwaukee.
1t was admitted that the company
was planning to build on the street
and that the Northwestern company
had feared that an effort would be
made to prevent the laying of the
switch track and that for this reason
the company hurried to get the track
in position. Rights for the laying of
the track had been secured from the
town of Somers and the property is
entirely outside of the jurisdiction of
the city of Kenosha. The owner of
the property adjoining is the Balm es-
tate and Frank Slosson, speaking for
the estate this morning, stated that
the Northwestern railway company
would make no objection to the Chi
cago and Milwaukee or the Kenosha
Electric Railway company laying
tracks along Grand avenue and over
the switch track and that the track
would not in any way interfere with
the property that had been reserved
for the Central station of the electric
line.
The electric railway officials seem
to take another view of the matter.
The new switch track is just about
hundred and fifty feet east of the
tracks of the Chicago & Milwaukee
tracks and it is claimed that plenty of
room has been left for the building of
the station.
Mr.. Slosson IN speaking of matter
stated that at the time the property
owned by the Balm estate in this sec
ton had been divided a right of way
for switch tracks had been reserved
and that it had always been known to
the officials of the Electric Railway
company that this was the fact
The new switch track connects with
the Jeffery plant and it is the plan of
the company to extend it north to any
new factory sites which may be
opened in the vacant land adjoining
Grand avenue.
