SERVICES In MEMORY
Members Of the Kenosha Chapter
of the Knights of Pythias
Hold Annual Memorial
REV. H. DEE BROWN SPEAKS

Recalling the virtues of seven Sir
Knights who had fallen by the way
side since the organization Of the
lodge in Kenosha, members and
friends of the Red Cross Lodge,
Knights of Pythias. made their way
to the City Cemetery on Sunday
afternoon and held the solemn service
for the dead.
Before the march to the cemetery a
large crowd of the knights and the
members of their families gathered at
the hall where the memorial services
were inaugurated and after the short
service at the hall the entire company
marched to the cemetery.
The services at the cemetery we're
held at the grave of the late Col. Fred
Enge1. The ritualistic work was in
charge of the officers of the lodge and
the annual eulogy to the dead was
paid by the Rev. Harvey Dee Brown,
pastor of the First Baptist Church.
In his address Mr.. Brown found new
lesson i'll the story of Damon and
Pathias and spoke especially Of the
after life. He showed that the plant
died only to live again and found in
this the lesson that man only passes
from one sphere of usefulness into
another.
After the address was over the
members of the lodge went about the
cemetery and placed memorial flag
on the graves of each Of the former
members buried in the cemetery. Red
Cross Lodge has memorial list of
seven. The number includes Emil
Beyersdorfer, John Crook, William
Frenz and Col. Fred w. Engel, whose
remains are buried in the Kenosha
Cemetery; Hiram Hitler, who is bur-
led at Oakwoods Cemetery in Somers;
DIR. William r. Cheever, who is buried
at Waukegan, and William H. Smith,
who is buried at Joliet, Ill. Special
memorial flags and iron markers were
sent to the graves of members of the
lodge in other cities.

RANKIN GOT FIRST RIDE
Wild West Horse Tanner Gets First Ride
in the Kenosha Patrol Wagon

James Rankin, the genuine wild west
COW boy, had a new distinction thrust
on him late Saturday evening when
he got the first ride in the new Ke-
nosna patrol wagon. Rankin was
making something of disturbance
at the corner Of Main and South
streets, when he was discovered by
Chief O'Hare and being unwilling to
accompany the chief to jail the chief
turned in call from box S. The first
call was answered promptly and Ran
kin and the chief had 2 lively ride to
the county jail. An effort Will be
made to have Rankin wander along
to some other city, as the police of
Kenosha are getting decidedly tired
of his little eccentricities.

GIVE MORE TRAINS
Northwestern Co. Meets Demands
of People Of Bristol, Salem
and Western Points
NEW SERVICE STARTS AT ONCE

The people living in the towns of
Bristol, Salem and Genoa Junction
have won bloodless battle against
the officials of the Chicago and North
western Railway company in the fight
for better service on the western divi-
sion as Monday an agreement was
reached between the attorney for the
farmers and the railway officials
which will probably result in the
withdrawal of the complaint now in
the hands of the State Railway Com
mission when it is called for hear
ing at Madison Wednesday morning.
The victory is with the people of the
western part of the county and new
and better service will be installed on
the western division of the road at
once.
Monday afternoon General Manager
Ashton and General Superintendent
Pechim of the Northwestern company
came to Kenosha and met Attorney
A. E. Buckmaster, who is represents
ing the people of Bristol and Salem in
the complaint before the State Com
mission and an agreement was
reached by which the matter will be
settled without the aid Of the Commits
sion.
The company agrees to put on two
new trains at once. One of the trains
will leave Kenosha- at O'Clock each
morning and run west as far as Genoa
Junction. The other train will leave
Genoa Junction at o'clock in the
afternoon and reach Kenosha in time
to make connections for the North at
O'Clock. The former service will
not be interfered with, and the regu-
lar afternoon train to the West, and
the morning train from the West will
run in keeping with the former
schedule.
The company further agrees to fur
nish all the cars that are necessary to
take care of the traffic between Keno
sha and Genoa Junction, and it is
agreed that the platform used by pas
sengers taking the trains on the Wes-
tern Division will be kept free of all
freight trains so that the people will
be in no danger of meeting with acct
dents while boarding OF alighting
from trains.
The service is not to be only for the
summer months, but for all of the
months of the year. The service will
mean much to Kenosha, as it will
make it possible for many people to
go west from Kenosha in the morning
and return at an early hour in after
noon. It is expected that the new
trains will be put on by the first of
next week.

Peter Gillette and Another !taI-
ian Workman Have Fierce
Conflict Saturday
GILLETTE IS BADLY INJURED
The Police Seek in Vain for Nick Ole
Another italian Who Il Alleged
to Have Plunged a Knife
Into Ge11ette's Breast

Peter Gillette, an Italian, residing
at % North Maple street, was badly
injured just after FIVE O'Clock Satur-
day evening when he was stabbed in
the left breast. 1t is alleged that the
blow with the knife was struck by
Nick Ole, also an Italian, and the
police of the city are now making an
effort to locate Ole, but it seems that
he has fed from the city. The stab
bling came as the climax to a fight
between the two Italians. Both men
are employed at the Simmons Manu-
featuring Company and they were
working in the lumber yards of the
been bad blood between the two men
and late Saturday afternoon they got
together and proceeded to settle their
troubles with a hand to hand en-
counter. 1t is claimed that Gillette
was having little the better of the
argument with the fists when Ole
drew knife from his pocket and be-
fore Gillette could get out Of the way
Ole drove the knife into lis left
breast. The blade of the knife pierced
the breast and Gillette badly
frightened fell to the ground. He
was found a minute later by some of
the other employees in the lumber
yard and as soon as possible he was
taken to the Office of DR.. G. Germano
who dressed the wound The knife
had penetrated the flesh, but had been
stopped by striking bone. It is not
thought that there is any reason to
believe that the wound will prove
fatal. In the excitement following the
stabbing of Gillette the friends of the
injured Italian failed to notify the
police of the assault and it is feared
that Ole, who is said to be decidedly
crafty, was able to make his escape
from the city.
Officers in other cities have been
asked 10 look out for the man and de-
scriptions of him we're sent in all di-
rections. Gillette was confined to his
home with his wound today, but it is
thought that he will be able to be out
in short time.
Every possible effort will be made
to capture Ole, as the police of the
city with the aid of Judge Belden are
making every possible effort to do
away with the mania for stabbing
which seems to have grown steadily
among the Italians of Kenosha DUR
ing the last year. In that time there
has been no less than dozen stab
bing ARRAYS in which the victims
were badly cut up, to say nothing of
a lot Of minor stabbing assaults
which occurred in the various Italian
quarters. Judge Belden has an
nounced from the bench that In the
future the man who uses knife and
who is convicted in Court will receive
nos mercy from the Court. Chief
O'Hare says that he is hopeful of be-
ing able to locate Ole, but that he
feels certain that the man is not in
hiding in Kenosha.
