Young Woman Recently Arrived in City

Young Woman Recently Arrived in City
Has Hard Time Finding Beau
A young woman recently declared
that she had been in this city for
several weeks and that during that
time she had not met one eligible,
unmarried young man. She was of
the opinion that there either we're
none or that they were at such
premium that it was practically inn
possible to meet one under ordinary
circumsts noes.
The young woman madetthe remark
at reception short time ago in
the hearing Of several north side
girls. ''Well,cI'll take pity on you,"
exclaimed one Miss, as she asked her
escort II he would not condescend to
be introduced Here" pointing to
the young man, Ito the best of nv
knowledge is an unmarried young
man, | want you to meet him.
1t is true that eligible young men
are very hard to get grip on.
If all the eligible young men in this
city are not married, those that are
not. are doing their best to Join
the happy procession of benedicts.
With such charming girls in this
city, the young men have little time
to turn their attentions to the new
arrivals.

Physicians Who Examined Jacob
Gerbovitz State That Case is
a Suspicious One
MAN IS CONSUMMATE ACTOR
Keeps np the Show of Insanity Today
But His rawlings are Not so Pro-
rlounced as on Wednesday
Morning

Jacob Gerbovitz, who is being held
at the county Jail awaiting trial on a
charge of attempted wife murder,
was not sent to the State Asylum
for the Insane at Oshkosh on
Wednesday and it now looks very
probable that if he goes to an
asylum for the insane it will be
after he is proven insane in the Court.
DIR. G.. B. Adams, of the Pennoyer
Sanitarium, ar expert with insane
patients. and DIR. ]. L. Cleary spent
an hour with the prisoner on Wednes-
day afternoon and their report on the
case was that it was suspicious
one.
Gerbovitz is quiet today and while
at times he as suu IS raving atti-
tude of Wednesday it is evident that
the examination by the doctors had a
decided effect on him. From the re-
port made by the doctors it is general
ly believed among the Court officials
that Gerbovitz is shamming. There
is no doubt but that the man is a
consummate actor and his actions on
Wednesday were sufficiently like
those of an insane man to fool any
one save an expert.
When the physicians took charge of
the case they discovered many things
that did not exactly show that Gerbo-
Wiz was insane. The report was in
no way an official one, as the County
Court declined to order the investiga-
ton into the mans sanity, and the
petition for such an examination was
withdrawn late Wednesday afternoon.
Doctors Adams and Cleary went to
the Jail as the representatives. of the
district attorney, and to him they
made their report of the condition of
the man. Gerbovitz carefully watched
the doctors and at times it was thought
that he was certainly shamming,
while at other times he had every APP
pearance of a man mentally unba1-
anced.
Should Gerbovitz be adiudicated in
sane at this time he could not be
placed on trial for the very serious
charge of attempted wife murder and
the district attorney will insist that
he be held in jail until after he has
chance to appear in the Circuit Court.
If the court finds him insane he may
be committed to an asylum. Ger
bovitz has not as yet made public the
nature of his defense, but it is
thought that he will plead an i'm
paired mental condition as the reason
for the attack on his wife. If the
man becomes more violent the sheriff
may again appeal to the County Court,
but he is so quiet today that the sher-,
iff seems to think that the danger is
over and that he will be able to get
along with the prisoner until the
opening of the Circuit Court.
District Attorney Baker has agreed
to set the Gerbovitz case as the first
one on the criminal calendar.

BORDEN PLANT IN OPERATION
Genoa Junction Plant Stopped by Fever
Epidemic in Operation Again

Epidemic In Operation Again
The big Borden milk plant at Genoa
Junction has resumed opera tons after
an enforced idleness of more than two
months on account of the scarlet
fever epidemic, and while the com
pany has not resumed the work OF
bottling milk, the condensing factory
at the plant is in operation and it is
expected that the shipments from the
plant will start in few days. The
mbargo has been lifted from the
product of the company and no effort
will be made to stop its shipments.
The company has lost large sum of
money through the enforced shut
down on account of the fever cpl
demic, but it is thought that all the
farmers will resume their relations
with the plant at once.
During the time that the plant has
been closed the farmers have been
shipping milk from Richmond, ILL.,,
and other points in the neighborhood.

THE council is probably willing to
do anything in reason to hurry the
completion of the extensions of the
street railway line, but it is asking
altogether too much of the city for
the company to apply for permission
to put down ct" rails in order to
hurry the work. Cities where these
rails are in use report unfavorab1y on
them, and the council should insist
on the original terms of the contract,
which call for girder rails.

IN KENOSHA
Steven KowaIske, Wanted in Mil
Waukee, Arrested by Chief
0'Hare on Wednesday
WoULO.BE BRIDE AccUSER

Steven Kowalske, twenty-five years
of age, said to be we'll known IL Mil
waukee, was arrested here Wednesday
by Chief of Police O'Hare on a war
rant sworn out by Miss Bertha
Rotzoll, of Milwaukee. The tech
nica1 charge against the man is
larceny as bai1ee of $45, but the de-
tectives, who came down from Milwau-
kee Wednesday night 10 take the &C
cussed man back to that city, think
that more serious charge will be
preferred against him. The COM
planning witness is young woman
belonging to very respectable FAM
lily in Milwaukee, and it els alleged
that she left Milwaukee withEKowalske
several days ago, the man having
stated that they would go to ST. Joe,
Mich. and be married. When the
train stopped at Kenosha lKowalske
forced the girl to get off and on the
following morning she went to the
police Office and told Chief O'Hare of
the way that she had been treated.
The chief sent the girl back to her
home in Milwaukee and at once be-
gan a search for the man in the case.
He located him Wednesday in Main
street saloon and placed him under
arrest.
The young woman had $45 when
she left her home in Milwaukee and
she alleged that she gave this to the
man to assist in de1raying the ex-
penses of the wedding journey.
Kowalske refused to make any state
ment while in Jail here and made no
objection to returning to Milwaukee
with the officer. The man had a
small amount of money on his person
when arrested by Chief O'Hare. The
Milwaukee detectives declare that the
accused man is a member of a well
known family in Milwaukee and that
his arrest will cause sensation there.

]. STOVALL MAY PLAY
AGAIN WITH CLEVELAND
CAN DO so IF HE PAYS $500 FINE
IMPOSED
Manager LaJoie Still Has Hopes of
Winning Pennant if His Two
Star Twirlers Return
to Game

CLEVELAND, Aug 13.-There is just
a possibility that George Stovall may
play with Cleveland again, although at
the time of the chair throwing episode in
the Aldine hotel at Philadelphia it looked
as though he had effectually severed his
connection with the local club
Manager Lajoie is reported as saying
that he never authorized the statement
that Stovall could not play with Cleve-
land again. That being the case, there
Is a possibility that Stovall will reconsid-
er his determination not to submit to a
fine and the conference which VIII be
held with Manager Lajoie when he re-
turns Morday may bear fruit.
Manager Lajoie has not given up hope
of winning the pennant and thinks with
Stovau and Bradley back in the game
Cleveland may have a chance. StovalPs
fine and suspension will cost him ABOUT
$500. providing of course. he Is willing to
pay the money and thereby gain the
chance OF playing ball again.
Stovall was at League park to see two
amateur teams play and said then that
he never would pay the fine imposed, but
when he had a talk with President Kill
foyl a few days ago he seemed to re-
gret the Philadelphia outburst and was
anxious to get back into the game.
Bradley has so far recovered that he
Ia able to be out of the house and may
start playing sooner than the 18th of this
month With the old lineup working and
the club at home twenty-three games in
a row the Napas should regain some of
the ground lost during the present slump.

CRACK SWIMMER WANTS
CUP FOR TEN-MILE RACE
Threa atens to Quit Athletic Club On-

for Feat Last

MILWAUKEE,, Aug. ia. M Goes
ling the crack distance swimmer, threat
ems TO quit the M. A. G. His action fol-
lows the attempt of the M. A. G. to
shove off on him "dinky" $50 cup as
prize for making the best time In the H.
mile river swim last year.
Goessling said Nay, nay, When
William r. Orthwein told him the club
was going to make him such present.
Goessling also says he is going TO swim
this year, but that he won't wear
Cherry Diamond on his breast.
II was the original intention to present
to the swimmer making the fastest time
a $3.50 trophy. The trophy has been a
myth for a year. Friends of Goessling
endeavored to have the club give him the
cup and the club finally agreed on $50
one.
''If they can give a big piece of silver
away to a Marathon runner l know of no
reason why a 10-mile swimmer should be
satisfied with a dinky' cup" said Goes
sling Thursday, Especially when the club
originally offered $3.50 prize"
Goessling declined an invitation from
Everett Brown, the athletic chairman of
the Chicago A. A., to compete in the five
mile handicap swim in Lake Michigan
Saturday. Goessling is in training for
the M. A. c. swim, but said he was not
in good enough shape to perform Satur-

Further. Mr.. Hedges, in reply to

But Mr. Robson" was persisted, you

however, had no heat. Tongues of flame
