broken the dynamite did not explode.
Fey declared that dynamite in cars
was often carelessly handled by the
railway companies but that explosions
rarely took place.
A great deal of the evidence Of the
experts dealt with the results of .ex-
plosions at the different powder
plants and it was shown by this evil
dence that in most cases the effect of
the explosions was not felt beyond
the confines of the powder plants. The
leading witnesses for the Powder
companies we're c. V. Ferridy, former
manager of the Latin Rand plant in
Pleasant Prairie, E. B. Jones of Will
mington, Del, Charles Patterson of
Ashland, superintendent of the
dynamite making plant at that point,
Superintendent Reynolds of the
plant at Marquette, Mich, and Form
er Superintendent Wilson Of the plant
at Ashburn, Mo. All of these men
insisted in their testimony that there
was little danger of an explosion of
dynamite.
The state rested its case just before
the close of the court session on Mon
day afternoon but before the case was
rested many people from the village
Of Pleasant Prairie went On the stand
TO tell of the fear from explosions
which prevailed IN the neighborhood
and to show that the value of property
had declined on account of the fact
that people were unable to sell prop
erty located near powder plant
They also told of the effect Of the ex-
plosions that had taken place at the
plant during the last two or three
years and stated that the result of the
EXPLOSIONS had been seen for miles
from the plant.
Among the people of the village
testifying were: G. f. Parker, Ar
thur Gamble, George Higgins, Bert
Cole, William Maloney, Orson O..
Fox, H. A. King, S. E. Epson and H.
81 Kellogg.
The testimony of Kellogg, who was
the last witness for the state, was Of
much Importance as he testified that
he had several offers for his property
but that all Of the prospective pur-
chasers had declined to conclude the
transaction when they discovered
that there was powder plant in the
neighborhood.
It is expected that the arguments in
the case will be made late this after
noon and that the court will take the
matter under advisement.

PLANT CLASS TREE
High School Students Brave Wintry
Weather to Celebrate Arbor Day

High School Students Brave Wintry
Weather to Celebrate Arbor Day
Friday was Arbor day, according to
the proclamation of Governor David
son, but the children of the Kenosha
schools did not grow very enthusiastic
in the celebration of the event, and
the only celebration held was at the
High School, where the students
braved the wintry winds and had the
usual march about the building,
which ended with the exercises in
connection with the planting of the
class tree.
The tree, a stately maple, was
planted at the northeast corner of the
school grounds with due ceremonies.
Elmer Paddock read the proclamation
of Governor Davidson, after which
the class tree GRAFTON was delivered
by Miss Agnes Egger, of the Senior
class, who in closing her short ad-
dress, turned the spade over to the
Junior class. The spade was accepted
by Miss Laura Magill on behalf of
the Juniors. During the morning
hours the class of 1907 laid class
stone in the grounds of the Central
school just in front of the spot where
the tree was planted. No exercises
were held at the other schools.

TRIED RANGE SUIT
Somers Men Refuse to Make Pay.
ment on Forged Notes Given
to Alleged EmbezzIef
TAKES CASE FOR AMUSEMENT

The suit of the Wrought Iron Range
company against Town Chairman
John Hertzog, of the town of Somers,
was tried before Justice Donahue on
Friday afternoon and after the evil
dence had been presented the Court
took the matter under advisement and
will render decision on next Monday
morning. The suit is one of the most
interesting ever tried in the Courts of
this county. While Hertzog is the
only defendant named in the action
it is alleged that similar suits are
pending against fifty-five other
residents of the county in which the
same state of facts is alleged.
The company seeks to secure collec-
ton for stoves sold to residents of Ke-
nosha county several years by a man
by the name of Kirschner who after
he had made the deals turned in
forged notes to the general Offices
and managed to get away with what
cash he had collected. The notes
which are now in the hands of the
company are alleged to be forgeries
and it is thought that the original
notes have destroyed.
The defendant in the case did not
put in any evidence, but it was stated
by Chairman Hertzog that he could
not swear that he had or had not
signed the note brought for payment
but he testified that the note which
he signed bore an endorsement of a
payment and the note in Court bore no
such an endorsement. The range
company has offered to put up bond
/ to secure the men interested from be-
ing forced to pay notes twice and to
allow them such credits as they are
willing to testify to under oath. The
attorneys for the defendants insisted
in Court that the game was s'shell'
game and that an effort was being
made to force the customers of the
range company to pay twice for the
stoves purchased. The company has
a standing offer of a reward of FIVE
hundred dollars for the arrest Of
Kirschner, but no trace of him has
been found in the last two years and
It is supposed that he has left the
| country.

Haynes, CIausen and Einstein
Finally Get Their Suit Back
Into the Circuit Court
W0ULDRE0PEN RAILWAY DEAL
Men Who Hold Alleged Valueless Bonds
Want the Present Company to Pay
Earnings to Them as Inter
est and Principal

The old suit of Patrick F. Haynes,
Gustav T.. Clausen and Arthur N.
Einstein against the Kenosha Street
Railway Company, The Kenosha
Electric Railway Company, Bion J..
Arnold, The Northern Trust Company
and Arthur Huertley as trustees came
up again in Circuit Court on Satur.
day when an amended complaint in
the suit was filed with the clerk of the
Circuit Court.
The complaint which covers page
after page of typewriter manuscript
has been resting Ia the hands of the
sheriff or some of his officials for
some time on account Of non-pay-
ments of fees, but today the clerk got
check from the attorneys for Haynes
ct al and hunted up the papers and
filed them.
The suit is brought to recover the
value of bonds alleged to have been
given Haynes, Clausen and Einstein
in the original organization of the
that he still has $4,000 and interest
from Nov, 1901, coming. C1ausen
claims $4,000 and like interest and
Einstein will be satisfied with $4,000
and the usual interest for six years.
In the complaint Haynes and
Clausen and their friend Einstein
seek to reopen the old railway deal by
which the affairs of the kenosha
Street Railway Company we're turned
over to the Kenosha Electric Railway
Company and the plaintiffs insist that
the company now in control Of the
property should be forced to pay over
to the Court all the earnings Of the
present company that it may be used
in paying the expenses and bonds of
the Kenosha Street Railway Company
which ceased to have a corporate
existence years ago. 1t is an inter-
esting fact that the mortgage on the
property which secured the bonds
issued to the Northern Trust Com
pany and Arthur Huertley as trustees
has been fully satisfied within the
past few weeks and it is now hard to
see how the plaintiffs in the action
can get at the payment of their
claims.
1t is possible that had the suit been
filed before the payment of this mort.
gage was recorded the plaintiffs
would have had better standing in
court.
The complaint is personally sworn
to by Gustav L. Clausen and it is sup
posed that he will come to Kenosha
to appear personally in the case when
the matter is called for a hearing at
the September term and in anticipa-
ton of such action it might be well
for the district attorney to dust off
that old warrant issued against
Clausen some years ago and have it
in readiness for service.
A. c. Frost, the present president
of the Kenosha Electric Railway
company, is rot named as defend
ant in the action save as enc of the
directors of the Kenosha Electric
Railway company. The entire claim
of Haynes and his associates amounts
to in the neighborhood Of So, 900.

PUT ON A BLANKET
N. R. and K. Files Biggest Mort
gage in History of County
With Register of Deeds
USE SUM FOR IMPROVEMENTS

To secure a S30,O0O,O 900 bond issue
the Milwaukee Light, Heat and Trac-
ton company filed with the register
of deeds trust mortgage covering
all its property IN Wisconsin, particu-
larry its tracks, rolling stock, fran
chises, terminal rights, stations and
rights of way in Milwaukee, Keno
sha, Racine, Waukegan apdWa1worth
counties. The mortgage runs to the
Metropolitan Trust company of New
York and Randolph Radman as trus-
tees.
The issue is divided into $4,000
bonds of the face value of ST., 900 each
and is for the rsfunding and extern
sion purposes. A portion of the pro-
ceeds, it is understood, will be applied
to the construction of the new
interurban lines now under way. The
property involved is that of the inter-
urban lines only.
The Milwaukee, Light, Heat and
Traction company owns and operates
interurban lines between Milwaukee
and Racine, Kenosha, Waukesha and
Muskego Lakes. The company has
about finished construction work on
line from Milwaukee to East Troy
and the extension of the Milwaukee,
Waukesha line to Oconomowoc is
practically completed.
The company has plans under con-
sideration that ultimately, it is said,
will make Milwaukee the pivotal
point for a network of interurban
lines extending in many directions,
particularly to the westward and
northwestward.
The Milwaukee Light, Heat and
Traction company was organized in
1896 and incorporated the same year
under the laws of Wisconsin with
capitalization of $780, 600. The cap
ita1 was later increased to ST., 900, 900
and it has again been increased to an
amount which President Beggs said
he could not exactly remember.
The incorporators of the company
were Charles F. Pfster, Henry C.
Payne, Frank G. Bigelow, William
Nelson Cromwell and Charles Spot
ford, New York. The gross earnings
of the company in 1906 amounted to
1904, 1897.

II. W. Gossard Corset CO. Look.
ing for Site Near Chicago
for q Factory Building
KENosHA FAVORED AS SITE

The Northwestern Railway COM
pany believes that Kenosha should
have another factory and to this end
the industrial agent of the company
has sent letter to Mayor German in
structing him that the H. w. Gossard
Corset company is seeking a site for
the location of a large plant. It is
stipulated that the plant shall be in
easy reach of Chicago and for this
reason the company has suggested
that Kenosha take up the matter and
seek to land the plant.
The Gossard Corset company is one
of the largest manufacturers of cor
sets in the United States and the
company is recognized as power in
the industrial world. The plant that
they propose to build is an auxiliary
plant and it would give employment
to large number of people. The

people of the city interested in indus
trial growth. The letter to Mayor
German follows.
