The Wolf in Switzerland.

Apart from the evidence of its pres.
ence in the age Of pile dwellings,, the
earliest reference to the wolf in Swift.
erland is in a decree Of CharIemagne
of about the end of the eighth cen.
fury. From this time to the latter
part of the fourteenth century the rec
ords are exceedingly scanty, but dur
ing the next tree centuries they be-
come very common and show the
strenuous fight against the marauder
which had to be maintained by the in
habitants, and the part which it play
ed in their superstitious ideas. A
striking fact is its abundance at the
beginning Of the seventeenth century,
which is explained as resulting from
the devastation Of the Thirty Years
War. With the end of that century
the period of its greatest abundance
closed, and from hence onward it be-.
gins gradually to disappear, the last
wolf having been killed in Lucerne
in 1865. while the western frontier
districts continued to suffer from its
ravages until quite a recent date. The
determination of the animal has only
been made possible by the introduc.
ton Of modern weapons.-Georgaphic.

In this case the committee was be.

George Williams, of Racine, spent
Monday evening in Kenosha.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1907-12-26

Early Wednesday morning the
Sheriff and the Police received a tip
from the Italian colony that Gillette
had come to Kenosha to spend Christ
mas day with his father and mother
and as soon as possible the sheriff ac-
companied by police officers New
nouse, Bradley and Christensen went
for the much wanted Italian. The
house was searched from cellar to
garnet and although no trace of
Gillette himself was found the officers
took into custody another Italian
who gave his name as Ben Bozzoni,
VINO is alleged to have been member
of the party connected with the
robbery Of Sachi. It is thought by
the police that Bozzoni has been with
Gillette since the robbery and that
Gillette was warned of the approach
of the police in time to allow him to
get away from the home Of his father.
Five other houses occupied by
Italians were searched by the sheriff
and the police officers Wednesday
afternoon but no trace ofEGillotte was
found.
The Italians seemed to be willing to
aid the police IN every possible man
ner in their search for the missing
man. Sheriff Pfennig has offered a
reward of fifty dollars for. the arrest
of Gillette, and cards announcing the
reward are being sent out today.
Well known Italians of the city
have declared to the police that Gill
otte is in the immediate neighbor-
hood of Kenosha, but the police seem
to be of the opinion that the Italian
has fled to some place far distant
from Kenosha, and that it is his ulti-
mate aim to get out of the country and
go 10 Italy. Gillette is said to have
been the leader of the band who
robbed Sachi, and for that reason
every possible effort is being made to
have him arrested and brought before
the courts.

SEEK MISSING MAN

Efforts are being made to find some
trace of George Denman, a Chicago
travelling salesman, who has been
missing since Tuesday morning.
Denman had travelled for cigar firm
in Chicago for some years and on
Tuesday morning he left the city for
Kenosha planning to return to Chi
cago in the evening. He never re-
turned and so far as can be learned
he never reached Kenosha. The
hotel registers Of the city fail to show
that Denman was here on Tuesday
and the customers of the Chicago
company in Kenosha claim to know
nothing of the man. Denman is forty
years of age and has wife and four
children living on the west side in
Chicago. AS he had arranged to take
his family on Christmas trip Tues
day evening his disappearance seems
all the more strange.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS
People of All Classes in KenOsha
Have Great Celebration of
Festival Of Christianity
POOR PEOPLE GET GIFTS

Kenosha had Merry Christmas
yesterday and while it was one of the
quietest holidays ever known in the
city there were plenty of celebrations
of the day and if anyone was over
looked in the feasting and the festivi-
ties they are still to be found. Most
of the churches of the city held enter
tainments for the children of their
congregations on Tuesday evening
and Santa Claus was very much In
evidence. In the churches Wednes-
day morning special services IN keep
ing with the day were held.
There were few public functions to
mark the passing of the Christmas
tide inthe city and most of the gaiety
of the day was limited to the reunions
of the different families of the city
and at many homes children who live
in other cities returned to gather with
the younger children about the Christ
mas tree and at the family dinner at
noon.
It was, "a happy day for the poor of
the city. On Tuesday afternoon the
members of the Salvation army and
the members of the Elks sent out
their annual Christmas baskets for
the poor and they were we'll filled with
good things to eat, warm things to
wear and little toys to delight the
hearts of children. More than fifty
families in the city were taken care of
by the two organizations and the work
of dispensing the baskets kept the
workers busy until late in the evening.
In many homes these baskets were the
only Christmas cheer provided, but
the gifts had been so lavish to these
charities that the poor children must
have shared almost as well as those
in homes of wealth. Most of the let
tiers to Santa Claus which had been
sent through the Kenosha postoffice
we're answered by charitable people
and these children had a merry; time
on Christmas day.
There was the usual celebration of
the day on the down town streets and
the usual number of defendants app
peared in the Justice Courts this
morning to plead guilty to too gener-
Gus celebration of Christmas. Judicial
clemency was given to all of the Of
tenders. s.

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Directory Census Shows That Kenosha
Has Population of Fl ,225


The population of Kenosha has
passed the 10000 mark, according to.
the showing made by the enumerators'
Of the new Kenosha City Directory
who completed their work on last
Tuesday afternoon. The report of
the enumerators shows an increase of
ri population of the city during.
the last two years. In the new direc-
tory there will be 1862 names, and
computing population at the rate
which has always been used by direc-
tory publishers the population of the
city will be q, 225. #sa.
When the directory was made two
years ago the increase in population
over the former years was shown to
be thirty percent. The present show.
ing is that the increase in the past
two years has been much smaller.
This IN measure is accounted for by
the fact that many foreigners had left
Kenosha before the numerators
started their work and had the direc-
tory been made next spring instead of
at this time it is proba BILE that the in
crease would be much larger.
