County Jail When Sheriff Pfennig
Takes Hold. Watch Fight
for Election of County Clerk

A new regime was inaugurated in
Kenosha county this morning when
the officials selected at the last coun-
ty election went into Office and the
old men who had been in office for the
past two years retired. Charles II.
Pfennig, formerly mayor of the city,
succeeded DR.. ] H. Veitch as sheriff
of the county and there was a general
clearance at the county jail, as none
of the employees of the former sheriff
were retained IL office. Sheriff and
Mrs, Pfennig have moved into the jail
and are now IN charge. Daniel Tang
ney has begun his duties as turnkey
and the new deputies appointed by
Sheriff Pfennig have been certified to
the clerk of the circuit court and sew
era1 of them have already filed their
oaths of office. The former deputies
went out of Office at midnight Sunday
night and although the weather was
little cloudy there was a perfect
shower of stars. They were falling
stars and it is pretty certain that none
of the men who gave up their Offices
will be reappointed by the present
sheriff later.
The change at the jail was the most
noteworthy feature of the new regime.
At the court house there were no
changes and there will be none until
the County Board elects county clerk
to succeed w. C. Crosby. Ii is ex-

In the office of the county treasurer
Henry Faultless gives up the books of
the county to Frank A. Marx. John
Zens, who has served as deputy
county treasurer, retires from the
office, and it is announced that Mr..
Marx will personally look after the
affairs Of his Office.
DR.. H. A. Robinson retires from the
office of Coroner after a very credit
able service for the county, and is
succeeded by DR.. Frank E. Andre
The new coroner is well known in the
city. He is Kenosha boy from the
ground up, and has served as assist
ant coroner in the past and is we'll
acquainted with the duties of the
Office. He has not as yet named a
deputy coroner.
There is no change in the list of

one provided that the compary should
put up bond Of $4,000 to insure the

had been read and it was placed on its
passage. It was foregone conclu-
sion that it would get the required
three-fourths vote and the announce
ment of the vote was noasarprise to

The provisions of the ordinance as
