slant Death, and Will Be In
Hospital for Some Time

Without any warning. just after
eleven O'Clock this morning. one of
the big walls of the new rolling mill
that is being built for tine Chicago
Brass company, near the corner of
Strong and Pleasant streets, fell with
crash and two brick masons who
we're working on scaffo1d at the top
of the wall were buried under the
debris of brick and mortar and ter
ribly injured.
The injured: 4
Albert Johnson, 468 Bond street,
left arm broken twice at wrist, and at
elbow, six ribs broken and terribly
cut and bruised about the head and
face. John Monsforth, 459 Fremont
avenue, back badly injured and ter
ribly cut and bruised about the head,
face and body.
Both men are at the Kenosha hos
pital and late this afternoon it was
announced that it was not thought
that the injuries of either of the men
would prove fatal, but both will be in
the hospital for many weeks and pos
sibly months.
The two men we're at work building
the veneering wall about the big steel
building and had raised the scaffo1d
to point thirty feet above the ground.
Johnson was IN the very center of the
scaffold and was at work laying the
course of brick when the wall col
lapsed.
Monsforth was standing at one end
of the scaffold. Some tAirty courses
Of brick gave way carrying the scat
fold down and the men with it. The
men fell thirty feet to the ground and
we're buried under the great pile of
brick and mortar. Other parts of the
wall gave way. but they did not fall.
The accident was Witnessed by many
men at work about the yards of the
big plant and they hurried to the res
cue of the two men. Both were taken
out from under the debris unconscious
and as soon as possible ambulances
we're called to take the men to the
hospital. The condition of the men
seemed most critical and the first re-
port of the accident was that Johnson
had been instantly killed and Mons
forth fatally wounded. Both of the
men revived on the way to the hos
pital and they we're placed under the
care Of DR.. H. A. Robinson, the SUR
geon fortthe company.
The managers of the plant are at a
loss to explain the cause Of the acct
dent unless it was the fact that the
wet weather of the last few days had
made it impossible for the mortar to
set and that the wall on which the
men we're working had been left in a
weak condition on this account. The
wall will be rebuilt at once.

to the Tax Payers

Kenosha is having municipal
house cleaning and for the first time
in the history of the city the accounts
of the city are being audited. The
John E. Reilly company, of Milwau-
kee, took charge of the books this
morning and for the uext two weeks
the employees of that company will be
busy examining the books and MAX

Council. The work is being done by
John E. Reilly, the head of the audit
ing company, and Arthur C. Hartman,
both of Milwaukee,.
The city will pay in the neighbor-
hood of $500 for this work, but when
it is completed it will be possible to
tell just where the city stands and
what has been done with the money
that has been paid in by the taxpay-
ers. The audit of the books will be a
most searching one and no depart

annually by these officials and reports
made to the council, but the books of

have never been audited and it IS
feared that the experts will find a

Italian Charged With Larceny Wanted
a Year Rather Than Seven Months
Joe C. Citro, an Italian who was
arraigned in the Circuit Court on
Tuesday on charge of grand larceny,
is an accommodating fellow and as a
result Of his Willingness to help others
he will go to school for a year at the
Green Bay reformatory.
When Citro pleaded guilty to the
charge against him on Tuesday Judge
Belden sent him to the state reform
atory for term of seven mouths, but
after the man had been placed on the
train and started for Green Bay it was
discovered that under the new law a
man could not be sent TO Green Bay
for less than year. The superin-
tendent sent Citro back to Kenosha
last night and this morning he was
back in court for another sentence.
He stated that he had no objections TO
the sentence being changed to year
in the reformatory and the Judge
changed the sentence. He will prob
ably go up to his new home Thursday.

S. A. Rutherford For
The u. s. Senate

If the press is expressing the
sentiment of the people-and II
usually does-Hon s. M.Ruther-
ford would seem to be the choice
OF the voters on the Indian Ter
ritory side for the United States
senate. The following editorial,
clipped from the Sunday Ledger
published at Muskogee, where
both Mr.. Rutherford and his OPP
ponent, Col. II. l.. Owen, reside,
voices the sentiment held. gener-
ally, by the newspapers through
the territory;
The only candidate from Musko
gee who has any show whatever
to win is s. NJ. Rutherford for U
s. senator.
Mr.. Owen is a brilliant man,
but he has been so long out OF
the politics of Indian Territory
and been so mixed up with the
different settlements between the
tribes that he is not suited to re-
present the new state of Okla
homa as one of its u. S. Sena-
tors.
On the other hand S. NJ. Ruth
erford has remained at home and
contended for the rights of the
people and the better enforce
ment of the law, as well as Demo-
cratic supremacy.
Mr.. .Ruthford is a college gradU-
ate, but common farmer boy,
who has built himself to the dis
tinguished position he occupies.
Morton Rutherford is no dema =
eogue, nor is he a hypocrite'
He carries on his sleeves any
omission or commission that there
might be charged against him,
so that the most unsophisticated
NAV not be deceived as to his in
tentions,
The Indian Territory side OF
the new state is really entitled tc
one senator and Morten Ruther
ford's chances are far ahead oi
any candidate from this sec ion
He has the acquaintances.
He has the loyal party support
He has the confidence of th'
people.
He is thoroughly familiar witt
the conditions of affairs here.
He is not LOBBYIST.
He is not a CRATER.
He is brave, true and incorrupt
ible.
This kind OF a senate will be
help to those honest and poo
men who are in the U. s. senat
battling for the rights of the peo
pie.
