James Jordan, Of Camp Lake,
Meets Death Under Wheels
Of the Fast Mail
WALKED ON WRONG TRACK
Remains Found on the Track just
South of Silver Lake Terribly
MangIed-A Resident of the
County Nearly 20 Years
tFrom Tuesdays Daily

James Jordan, of Camp Lake, one
sha county, met awful death just after
midnight this morning when he was
run down by fast mail train on the
Wisconsin Central road near the viii
lage Of Silver Lake and instantly
killed. The remains of the man were
terribly mangled but they we're picked
up and taken back to Silver Lake
where an inquest was held by Justice
Henry Blum. A verdict of accident
al death was found. Jordan had
spent Monday evening with friends
at Silver Lake and just before mid
night he had started to walk to his
home near Camp Lake station. He
joked with the men at the Silver Lake
station and started for home. A short
time later the fast mail train on the
road running at rate of sixty miles
an hour dashed through the village
and the operator could see Jordan
walking along the track. He thought
he heard cry and after the train
had passed he walked down the track
and found the badly mangled remains
of Jordan. There are two tracks at
this point and it is thought that Jor-
dan made mistake and believed that
he was walking along the switch
track while he was on the main line
of the road. 0s 8@
People we're hurried1y summoned
and the remains were carried back to
TO Silver Lake and after the inquest
they we're taken to the Jordan home.
James Jordan had been.a resident
of Kenosha county for more than
sixty-fve years. He was native of
Ireland, but came to Southport when
he was years of age and after living
in the city for many years he pur-
chased farm near O'Neill's Corners
in the town Of Pleasant Prairie. He
lived on this farm until thirty years
ago, when he removed to the farm
near Camp Lake. His wife died a
number of years ago. Five daughters
survive. They are: Mrs. H. Lais, of
Camp Lake; Mrs. G. Bowman, of Bas-
sets Station; Mrs. Harry Perry, of
.Ft. Worth, Tex; Mrs. Fred Trede, of
TT. Worth, Tex, and Miss Stella Jor-
dan, who lived with her father at
Camp Lake.

THE last batch of anti-cigarette
Legislation may be placed in the
category of laws that are practically
impossible to enforce and possibly of
those that 1t was never intended
to enforce. Certainly no great effort
is being made to enforce the law IN
this section and the law is apparently
a dead letter all over the state. 1t is
a well established principle that ''a
law that cannot be enforced is worse
than no law at all, and if the legis-
lature is going to legislate on the
cigarette question it would be well to
pass law that will stand the test of
enforcement in the courts. There
should be no laws on the books that
can be violated with impunity.

FRIDAYS accident serves to again
call attention to the fact that there
are some very blind and dangerous
crossings along the line of the street
railway and that something should be
done to warn the public when cars
are approaching them. When APP
preaching the South street tracks
from either direction on Congress
and Church streets it seems almost
impossible for driver to hear the
warnings given by the cars until he
is almost on the tracks and narrow
escapes at these two crossings are of
almost daily occurrance. The COM
pany could minimize the danger of
accidents at small expense by putting
in electric bells such as are used in
the East at these two corners which
would ring automatically on the APP
proach of car from either direction.

NAMED FOR HENRY M. SIMMONS
Minneapolis and Chicago Also Honor
Name of Former Kenosha Minister

Minneapolis and Chicago Also Honor
Name of Former Kenosha Minister
The dedication of the Henry NJ.
Simmons Memorial Church in Keno
sha on Sunday has brought to light
the fact that Kenosha is not the only
city in which testimonials to the
worth of the deceased minister have
been erected. as in Minneapolis and
Chicago institutions have been
opened which will bear the hame of
Henry M. Simmons. In Minneapolis,
where the minister spent the closing
days of his life, a school building has
been erected and named "The Henry
M. Simmons School," In Chicago a
boys inn for the care of homeless boys
has been opened and it also bears the
name of the deceased minister.
tits rather remarkable fact that
Mr.. Simmons had given. no gifts to
any. of these institutions, but they
bear his name simply on account Of
the interest he showed in the work for
the children.

Kenosha County Town Officers
Not Ready to Go Into Work
Of Road Building Now
SLOW TO TAKE UP THE WORK
State Machinery Offered to Kenosha
Comfy Will BE Sent to Some Other
County for the Fall and Winter
Months will Wait Z,

Kenosha &C unity is not interested ia
good roads and the recent offer of the
State Good Roads Association to send
to Kenosha all the machinery of the
state for the manufacture Of roads
will be turned down by the town
boards of the different towns in this
county.
County Surveyor A. H. Blood, who
was a delegate to the Good Roads con-
vention and who had charge of the
work of getting the towns started,
gave up the fight this morning and he
will notify the state officials that this
county is not willing to use the road
machinery. For the past two weeks
Surveyor Blood has been getting in
touch with town officers from different
parts of the county, and he has nearly
talked himself to death in an effort to
get the town boards to act in the mat
ter. The offer of the state association
meant the saving of large amount
of money for the people of the differ
ent towns, but it failed to arouse any
interest in roads and for the most
part the town officials did not even
consider the matter seriously.
The town of Pleasant Prairie held a
town meeting but the matter was dis
cussed only in an informal manner
and no action was taken.
Several of the counties in the state
have been anxious to secure the use
of the machinery but the state assoc
citation was anxious to have the roads
here improved on account of the fact
that it was the first county in the
state, and for the further reason that
the roads in some parts of Kenosha'
county are about as bad as any to be
fonnd in the state. The town of
Pleasant Prairie was especially sought
by the state association as the roads
in this town are used largely by peo-
pie going from Chicago 10 Milwaukee
and the first stretch of road IL Wis
consin gives the tourists a decidedly
bad opinion of Wisconsin roads. 10
It is just possible that the County
Board will take up the matter of roads
at its coming session, but the board in
the past has not shown any great in
terest in the repair of the highways
and it is probable that the old routine
will be carried out and that nothing
will be said in regard to the roads.
The town mem bers of the board must
bring up the matter for while the city
members are favorable to road build
ing they will not seek to act unless
the towns make some appropriation
for the work to be done. 1t is certain
that little work out of the ordinary
will be done on the roads of the county
during the present fall and winter and
none has been planned for next spring.

THE property owners of Kenosha
have been solidly opposed to bond is
sues for so long that there need be no
fear that they will go to the other ex-
IRENE and vote bonds for anything
and everything once the bars are let
down. Some of our conservative citi-
zens profess to believe that single
issue of bonds for a specific purpose
would be followed by regular flood
of issues for ell purposes, but as
long as the people vote they will have
nothing of the kind.

comes to kenosha again to investi-

Council must be prepared 20 carry out

as it has declared itself ready and
anxious to door in the future the
city will be expected to attend to its
own troubles without any assistance
from the state. The State Board is
not paid to travel around the state and
give advice that is never taken and to
the credit of the Board it may be said
that its members prefer to put in
their time at work that will show
results.

PRAIRIE AVE. at the intersection of
West Main street is in a dangerous
condition. There is a regular ditch
in the street where the pavement was
taken up by the sewer builders and
somebody is going to get hurt there
soon unless repairs are made. Why
is it that in Kenosha the pavement
once it is taken up is never replaced
within reasonable length of time?
Other cities wild rip open street and
have the brick replaced within twenty
four hours at the outside, but once
let the bricks be taken up on any street
in this city and it is weeks and months
before they are put back. This is not
a square deal on the public. The
hose should be used when filing in
all openings in the pavements and the
brick replaced at once. If the ground
settles later and ii is necessary to re-
the brick it can be done at the ex-
pense of whoever opened the street in
the first place.

EDITOR ! ID L SAVES LIFE
Lewis Eve. Editor Of voIksfreund,
is Hero Of an EARLY Morning
saiss Fire on Sunday
QUENCHES FLAME WITH BEER

Lewis Eve, editor of the Kenosi1a
Volksfreund, was the hero of very
exciting incident just after six O'Clock
Sunday morning when he saved an
unknown man from burning to death
in front of tent which had been
pitched on the lake shore just north
of the grounds of the Kenosha Coun-
try Club. Mr.. Eve had started with
his son for walk along the lake and
as he passed thepoint where the tent
had been pitched he noticed fire and
decided to go over and see what was
going on. When he reached the tent
he found man in drunken stupor
laying in front of the tent and the fire
which had evidently been built some
hours before had caught the clothing
of the man and he was slowly being
burned to death. The clothes cover
ing the back of the man had been
burned of. but the man was so COM
pletely under the influence of liquor
that he had not seen his danger.
Eve shouted to his son to come and
aid him and the two managed to pull
the man out of the fire, and Selling a
key filled with beer the beer was used
to exiting uish the flames. The man is
supposed to be some wanderer who
had stopped at the tent Saturday
night and the fact that there were
two empty kegs IN the tent seems to
indicate that the occupants of the
tent had great time on Saturday
night and early Sunday morning.
The fire had evidently been built by
other members of the party who had
left the tent and gone out to skirmish
for breakfast.
Eve, after he had exiting uished the
flames, went to call the police to
make an investigation of the case and
wheu he returned to the tent he
found that the man had been carried
away by his companions. In the
pockets of the man Eve found a
pocket book which contained hurt-
ing license which had been issued to
a we'll known business man last year.
1t is thought possible that the license
had been lost by the man and picked
up by the man that was burned. Had
it not been for the prompt work of
the editor the man would undoubtedly
have been burned to death in his
drunken stupor. 1t is thought that
the man must have been badly hurt,
but the police have been unable toll
find any trace Of him today.

STREET cleaning costs money but
the proposition that we might get
more and better results for the money
expended by different methods from
those used is always open to argu-
ment. It is just possible that great
changes for. the better might follow
an investigation of the systems of
street cleaning used in other cities
and it would not be amiss for the bust
ness men to take up the discussion of
the subject for they are the ones who
would benefit most by any improve
ment made.

TEE regulations governing the col
lection of vital statistics are not a
particle too severe and upon their
strict enforcement depends the value
of the data gathered by the state.
Many people are inclined to question
the value of these statistics anyway,
and certainly they are of no value
unless absolutely accurate. AS long
as the state is willing to pay for the
information sought the officials
charged with collecting it should be
held to strict accounting.

HAS A PITIFUL FUNERAL
Mrs. Greenhalgh. Victim of Zion City
Cult, Buried With Scant Ceremony

Adam Greenhalgh, widower of the
woman whose life was sacrificed on
the altar of creed in Zion City, was
Frustrated Monday by the pitiable
funeral services.
A Parhamite deacon" George T..
Helms, was the only man of any pre-
tense of clerical standing who would
consent to conduct the services. The
body was carried into little white
hearse and lowered into the grave by
four men who had had no expectation
of acting as pallbearers. One Of
them, George Irvine, was the brother
Of Mrs. Mary Mitchell, the hig Il
priestess of the cult which admins
tered the fatal treatment, the
second was Lieut.. John V. Japp,
who was present to prevent any dis
turbances, and the other two were
newspaper men.
A brief address was given by ssDea-
con" Helms at the Greenha1gh home,
Lead Kindly Light was sung, and
as he took last look at the face of
his dead, Mr.. Greenhaigh threw him
self across the coffirl and sobbed hys.

he was Quilted at the grave.
