that McGovern had placed brick. piers
under the water pipes in the trench
with the sewers, and this was con-
tested.
In the examination of the under
ground passage, the committee has
found that many of the pipes are sup
ported by brick piers, but at least two
of them are supported by four by
tours. Every pipe will be investi.
gated before the workmen finish their
task,

SEEK GIRL HERE
Missing Winnetka Girl Thought to Be
in Hiding in Kenosha

IN Hiding IN kenOSha
Officers from Winnetka, Ill.,, have
been IN Kenosha today seeking to
find some trace of Clara Doogan, a
seventeen year old girl, who. has been
missing from that place since last
Friday and it is thought possible that
she is IN hiding in Kenosha. The
girl at one time worked in Kenosha,
but four weeks ago she returned to
the home of her aunt in Winnetka.
She left the house after a quarrel
with her aunt and since that time no
trace of her has been found.
It is alleged that the young woman
had been opposed by her aunt in her
love affairs and some time ago she
declared that if she was not allowed
to marry young man from Chicago
that she would commit suicide. She
had met the young man the evening
before she disappeared from home
and it is thought possible that they
went away together. The young
man has not been seen since the girl
left Winnetka.

TO AID KENosHA HoRsEMEr
New Ruling of National Trotting Assoc
citation to be of Much Benefit

New Ruling of National Trotting Assoc
citation to be of Much Benefit
An important change in the rules
OF the National Trotting association
promises to have most beneficial ee-
feet on the matinee racing in Kenosha
this summer and if present plans are
carried out, the city will assume
something of its former Importance as
horse racing center.
The changed rule referred to allow
an admission fee to be charged to
matinee races at which horses nav
go as fast and frequent as is desired
without getting mark although the
time be actually announced.
Before the change was made ali
horses trotting at matinees for which
admission fees were charged were
given marks if the time which thew
made was sufficient to demand il.
This was an arbitrary rule and could
not be overlooked. The result was
that men owning good young stock
would not send their horses to the
limit because they did not want tn
have them marked until they were at
least developed
With the removal of this barrier
matinees will be regular horse races
in which the horses will be driven
out as frequently as desired without
any fear of having a barrier in the
form of:a time mark attached to them.
