DUTCH GAP" AGAIN
The Big Ditch in the Western
Part Of the County is in
for More Trouble
C. A. SHIELDS CRITIcIsES.
Bristol, Wis, Dec. "a, 1906

Bristol, Wis, Dec. "a, 1906.
Mr.. Editor:-I wish to correct you
little in your article of last week in
reference to the Dutch Gap. I do not
want to accuse our honorable gentle
men Of anything they are not guilty
of. / did not take contract to dig
all of Dutch Gap ditch, nor did not
buy the machine with the idea of dig
ging the entire ditch. AS soon as l
knew had been assessed for one
third of the cost of digging the Dutch
Gap figured the cheapest way out Of
it was to buy machine and DO my
portion of the work, which did, and
was inspected by our town board and
accepted by them. | completed my
contract over year ago and have
since been digging some private
bitches of my own on the swest side of
land, thinking that some day the
spirit might move our fellows or they
might wake up some fine morning to
realize that they had certain obliga-
tions to fulfill-to realize that they
have had about $1,000 of the peoples
money tied up for three years, which
was collected as ditch tax, for the
purpose of opening thesDutch Gap,
and nothing to show for it; haven't
even received any interest nor any
sign of ditch. How long will people
have to live before they learn to elect
live men to office? Men who can say
yes ard men who can say no, self
willed men.
/ heard certain Chairman in our
town say few years ago, when in
discussion over a certain proposed
new road: II have lost many nights
sleep over the matter, have rolled and
tumb 1ed." Now, did this man ever
lose any sleep, or was he ever awake?
Isn't it wonder we have any sane
men left after such propositions as
digging the Panama Canal, the build
ing of railroads, wars with other ma
tons, and so on? We have had five
or six administrations since this
Dutch Gap problem came up and it
made them all cape; could not stand
the pressure.

ICE HARVEST SOON
Knickerhocker Ice Company Or
ganizing an Army Of 5000
Men For Local Ice Fields
PLAN TO CUT BIG HARVEST

A telegram from La Porte, Ind,
announces that the Knickerbocker
Ice company has organized an army
of men in that city and is planning
to send them to Kenosha county to
begin the annual ice harvest.
At the present time the reports
from the lake districts are to the eff
feet that the ice is about seven inches
thick, and that it is of a very fine
quality. The ice houses owned by
the trust on the different lakes in this
county have been put in splendid con-
dition. 1t is stated that the Knicker-
booker company has decided to aban-
don many houses in Northern Indi-
ana, and that the bulk of the ice for
the next season will be cut from the
lakes in Southern Wisconsin.
The employment agencies Of the
Knickerbocker Ice company were
opened in Chicago and other cities
several weeks ago, and already sew
eral thousand men have been en-
ployed to work in the ice fields. The
army of men is composed of the usual
number of hobos and tramps, who
make their living by working in the
ice fields.
The ice men are being organized
into unions as rapidly as they are
employed, and there is possibility
that the company will have consider
able trouble handling the men. 1t is
thought the ice harvest will open in
another week and the health officers
of the different towns in the lake
regions are being urged to take some
steps to prevent these men bringing
diseases into the county.
The men are now being housed in
cheap lodging houses in Chicago and
are being given every possible chance
to pick up the germs of dangerous
diseases It will be remembered that
the only cases of smallpox known in
Kenosha county in many years were
brought to the county by the ice cut
ters.
At one time the State Board of
Health was asked to force the ice cut
ters to submit to vaccination, but it
was found that such rule could not
be enforced.

A new story about Prince Bismarck
when he first went as the representa-
tive Of Prussia to the federal diet at
Frankfort is being told in Berlin.
Prussia was then of very small ac-
count compared with Austria, and Bis
marck found that he was treated with
Indifference at his hotel. He was Civ
en- room which had not even a bell,
and when he complained he was told
that what was good enough for other
travellers was good enough for the
Prussian delegate
Bismarck said no more. but early the
next morning the hotel was startled by
a tremendous explosion. The landlord
came rushing into Bismarck's room to
know what was the matter and was
told that as there was no bell the Prus-
sian delegate had arranged with his
valet to fire pistol whenever he re-
Quired his services. Bismarck got bis
bell without delay.-Sketch.

If there is no law now in force by
which the horde of 1aborers brought
into this county every winter to work
in the ice fields can be made to sub
NIT to medical inspection and vac
cination Kenosha county had better
go to the next legislature and secure
one. The influx of this great army
of the unwashed constitutes serious
menace to the public health and there
can be no reasonable objection to the
passage of law that will enable our
heath officers to enforce the most
stringent sanitary regulations against
them. Now is the time to make Ger
tain that the health officers have the
authority to deal with any crisis that
may arise.

We presume that the rights of the
different parties in the controversy
over the Camp Lake dam will be
settled in due time by the courts but
that injunction which is supposed to
prohibit all persons whatsoever from
interfering with the dam in any way
should either be enforced or dissolved
at once. Notwithstanding the in
junction repeated attempts have been
made to destroy the dam recently and
it is not calculated to inspire any
great respect for the law in the mind
of the average man to see how safe
and easy it appears to be for certain
persons to defy the orders of the

Friends Of Felicia Capable Feel
Certain She Was Drowned
in the Lake on Monday
SWEETHEART is RELEASED
Officers Convinced That Dominick
Tomba Knows Nothing of the Dis
appearance of the Young
ItalianlGirl

| The friends and relatives of Felicia
Capable, the Italian girl who disap-
peared on Monday, have given up all
hopes of finding her alive, and they
are convinced that the young womaa
1eaped off the Park street breakwater
and found death in the co1dlwaters of
Lake Michigan. This is now the be-
lief of the chief of police and the
members of the force who were at
work on the case on Wednesday.
Nearly the entire day was spent in
seeking the girl, but no trace was
found that would indicate that she is
still alive. On the other hand sew
eral people were found who claim to
have seen the young woman walking
along Park street just after 10 CLOCK
Monday morning. The woman who
lives in the same house as the Cappa-
los declares that the Young woman
left the house just before 10 o'clock
and that would have given her Just
about time enough to reach the lake
at the time the woman was seen to
leap from the breakwater.
Wednesday afternoon the life savers
and Deputy Sheriff M. F. Barber
spent several hours dragging for the
body, and with the wind from the
southeast it was thought that the
body would be carried in. The life
savers think that it is possible that
the body was lodged somewhere near
Simmons breakwater, and that it will
come up later.
The friends of the girl have COM
municated with friends in all parts of
the country, but none of these people
has seen anything of her. Police
officers in Chicago and Milwaukee
have been notified of the disappear
ance of the girl, but they have not
been able to find any trace of her.
Dominick Tomba. the sweetheart of
the girl who was locked up on Mon
day evening on account of the fact
that it was feared that some of the
Italians might do him violence was re-
leased later Wednesday afternoon.
The Italian boy seems to be greatly
affected by the Disappearance of the
girl and he confided to the police that
he had planned to make her mum Der
of very beautiful Christmas presents.
The presents had been bought and
were being kept for a Christmas
morning surprise. A search of the
Capable home shows that the young
woman had no money in her purse
when she left on Monday morning.
and for this reason it is not thought
that she could have left the city.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
has been no trace of the girl found,
the police are still continuing the
search and the Italian quarter is be-
ing closely watched for the appear
ance Of any letters which will give a
clue to the fate of the young woman.
Emanuel Capable, The brother of
the missing girl is still personally
directing the search among his
countrymen, but he stated yesterday
that he had given up all hope of the
girl being found. He shares the be-
lief of the police that the girl has
jumped into the lake.

that would be nothing less than a
