OBITUARY

Mrs. Bridget Tigh died at Brighton,
Wis, June IA, 1907, aged "a years.
She died fortified by the last sacra-
meats of the church and resigned to
the holy will of God. She bore her
illness with great patience being al
ways cheerful and kind. Her char
acter was truly noble; loyal in her
friendship, devout and simple in her
religious life and ever faithful in the
performance of her duty.
To her children it is great consola-
ton to know they received her dying
blessing as they stood around her bed
and to her absent son, Ed, in Califor-
MIA, who could not be with her in her
last moments she requested it to be
sent. With her last words commend
ing her soul to Jesus and with the
crown of holy and we'll spent life
resting on her head she departed from
this life to enter happier home.
The funeral was held on Monday
from st. Francis Xaviers' church, a
requiem high mass being celebrated
Oy Kew. FREEMAN, anu neT remains,
tenderly carried by her six grand
nephews, were laid to rest by the side
of her husband who preceded her
twenty-seven years ago, The high
esteem in which she was held was
shown by the large cortege that
followed her remains to their last
resting place. She has left to mourn
her loss seven children and fourteen
grandchildren. The following are
her children: Edward of California,
Mrs. James NORM of Kenosha, Mrs.
Ed. Carroll, Henry, John, Angelina
and Agnes of Brighton.

BE ENJOINED
Elizabeth Street Property Owners
Threaten to Fight Railway
Co. With injunction
OBJECT TO DOUBLE TRACK

The Kenosha Electric Railway
Company will probably have to fight
for the rights granted to them for
tracks on Elizabeth street as today it
is stated that the property owners on
the street are planning to fight the
road by injunction. The property
owners have retained a firm of Mil
waukee lawyers and it would not sur
prise the company to have the work
stopped at any time by an injunction.
The property owners notified Super
intendent Russell of the company this
morning that the injunction would be
served this afternoon, but up to late
hour this action had not been taken.
The property owners are objecting
to the laying of double track on the
street. They have made no decided
protest againsta single track, but de-
clare that the street is SO narrow that
if the double track is laid as the COM
pany is now proposing to do there will
be no room left for the use of teams
and vehicles. The ordinance as pass
ed by the Common Council gives the
company the right to lay either
double or single track on the street
and on this ordinance the company is
planning to put up hot fight if it is
found necessary. The excavations
have been made for double track,
but all work was stopped on Saturday
on account of an accident at the Ra-
cine stone quarry of the company. It
is expected that the stone will arrive
this afternoon and that the work will
be started again tomorrow. The
operators of the company are ready to
meet any injunctional order and they
seem to be of the opinion that the
work will not be stopped for any
length of time by any court order.
Manager Russell stated this morn
ing that the company considers that
it is absolutely necessary to lay a
double track on the street and that
this was the reason that this privilege
was asked for in the franchise ordi-
nance.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT
E. Clancy, Veteran Conductor on
the M. R. & X. Meets Death
on Sunday Afternoon
ANOTHER CONDUCTOR HURT


One conductor on the M. r. & K
road was killed and another was in
-jured while they were coupling a
trailer to an interurban car near
South Milwaukee Sunday afternoon.
Edward Clancy, 80 years of age, living
at Oil Orchard street, Milwaukee, con-
ductor of the interurban, had his
head crushed between the cars. His
death was instantaneous. The con-
ductor OF the trailer, whose last name
is Carges, and whose first name is I'M
known, was injured, and was taken to
Trinity hospital, Milwaukee.
The accident took place at what is
called the Oak Greek siding, two and
half miles south of South Milwau.
kee. There is single track at this
point, and trailers attached to cars
bound in one direction are transferred
to cars brought in from the opposite
direction.
Both of the men are we'll known to
Kenosha railway men, as they had
run into Kenosha daily for several
years. 1t is reported this afternoon
that Carges can not survive his In
juries.
It was just after noon Sunday when
south bound car in charge of Carges
dropped the trailer at Oak Creek, and
after passing the north bound car,
which was in charge of Clancy, went
into the siding. The north car pro-
ceeded. The two conductors minute
later started to couple the trailer to
the north bound car and in some man
ner were crushed during the perform
ance of this duty.
Clancy was veteran conductor and
had been running on the M. R. & K.
line for the past six years. He had
many friends in Kenosha. There
were several Kenosha passengers on
board the north bound car when the
accident occurred.

THE JUNIOR PROMENADE
Members of Junior Class OF the High
School Give Party for the Seniors


Youth and beauty met at the annual
Junior Promenade of the Kenosha
High School given at the High School
Auditorium Monday night, and the
combination brought one of the most
interesting parties ever held in Keno
sha. In honor of the event the great
hall, which was opened for dancing
party for the grst time by the Juniors,
was deliberately decorated. Flags and
banners almost hid the walls and CELL
ing of the big auditorium, while all
about the room the Senior colors of
maize and azure were mingled with
the High School colors Of black and
red The members of the Junior
Class were the hosts of the evening,
and certainly there we're never more
charming hosts at any party ever
given in Kenosf1a.
While the party wasin honor of the
retiring senior class, more than two
hundred people we're in attendance
and the merry dancers included not
only the school boys and girls, but
many of the older people of the city.
The music for the dance was furnish
ed by Beckers' orchestra.
At the end of the great auditorium
a dining room had been screened off
in which Kupfer served during the
evening. The merry party continued
until early morning.

HELD FIRST MEETING

Few Complaints Are Registered With
the Board of Review on Monday
The Kenosha Board of Review held
the first meeting for the year at the
city hall on Monday afternoon and it
is pretty evident that the people of the
city are satisfied with the assessment
as there were only four people who
appeared before the Board and all of
them were satisfied with the va1ua-
ton that had been placed on their
property. Not one of the factory
managers appeared before the Board.
The next meeting of the Board will
be on next Monday and the people of
the city having complaints on the
valuations are urged to make them at
once.
