ARGUMENTS FILED
Investigation of Case of Light
keeper De Diemar Now Be-
fore Lighthouse Board
EXPECT DECISION THIS YEAR

Reports received from Washington
state that all of the testimony and
arguments in the government invest
igation of the conduct of L. N. DeDie-
mar as light house keeper at the Ke-
nosha light house have been flied
with President Roosevelt and by him
transferred to the Department of
Commerce and Lab It'll the order
that the case be disposed of as soon
as possible.
Attorney Peter Fisher, of this city,
who represented the veteran light
keeper at the hearing, forwarded his
argument of the case, an exhaustive
document, to the President in person,
and in acknowledging it the President
stated that the matter would be sent
to the Department of Commerce and
Labor. This department will event.
ua1ly place the matter In the charge
of the Light House Board for a final
decision.
While government Investigations
always move very slowly the influence
that had been brought to bear on the
president IN connection with the De
Diemar case will probably result ia
its being taken up with all possible
haste and it is thought that deci-
sion of the Board may be received be-
fore the end of the present year. Nc
verbal arguments are to be made be-
fore the Board and the briefs of the
investigation together with the evil
dence brought at that time will be
the only things on which the Board
will base its decision.
Friends of Lightkeeper DeDiemar
seem to feel assured that the decision
of the board Will come as a complete
vindication of him, and the evidence
presented at the investig ation is de-
pended upon to furnish this vindica-
ton more than any influence that
may be exerted by the 1ightkeeper's
friends.
Congressman Cooper had taken a
great interest in the investigation,
attending every session and making
notations of all the evidence. It is
understood that he will personally
urge the department of Commerce
and Labor to see to it that full Justice
is done the Kenosha man in the
matter.

ARREST MEAT DEALER
Louis Larsen Charged With Violating
State Pure Food Laws

Louis Larsen, an Elizabeth street
meat dealer, was arrested Thursday
on the complaint of N. F. Scott,
deputy pure food commissioner,
charged with selling meats which had
been treated with authorizations of
sulphurons acid. Larsen was ar
raigned before Justice McCarron aud
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
assessed fine of SIS and the costs of
the action.
In explanation Larsen stated that
the preservative which he had used
had been sold to him with the guar
antee that it was in keeping with the
pure food laws of the state and nation
and that he was not aware that he
was doing any wrong IN using it.
The arrest of Larsen came as re-
suit of the examination of a large
number of samples of meat pur-
chased here two weeks ago by the
pure food inspector. 1t is claimed
that none of the other sam piles were
found to contain chemicals forbidden
by the laws of the state.

WILL CONTEST rs ON
Fight For Property of Late Leander
Merrick Starts in County Court


The contest over the admission to
PROBATE of the last will and testament
OF Leander Merrick, late OF the town
OF Randall was started in the County
Court Thursday, but it is proba-
ole that some time will be necessary
to hear the large mum Der of witnesses
IN the case and it is not likely that
decision will be reached before FRI
day or Saturday. The will is being
contested by Mrs. G. E. Williams of
brooklyn, New York, who claims that
the testator was of unsound mind
when the will was made in 1901. Mrs.
Williams is not present at the hear
ing. The principal evidence at the
court sessions Thursday was from the
proponents of the will. Bankers and
other professional men from Rich
mond, Ill, were on the stand to testi-
fy to the dealings that they had with
Merrick during his life. All of these
men declared Merrick of sound mind,
but they stated that he had not been
well since he had a stroke of ap-
oplexy IN 1893 and that his condition
was noticeably weakened.

WOULD EDUCATE HOUSEWIVES
Woman's Club Listens to an Interest
ing Paper By Mrs. Walter Frost

The Economics of the Household
was the very interesting topic dis
cussed by the Woman's Club of Keno
sha at the regular fortnighly meeting
of the club held at the Masonic Tenn.
pie on Wednesday afternoon. The
regular paper was read by Mrs.
Walter Frost, and she brought out
some very interesting points in regard
to Home Economics. She spoke of
the work of the housewife as a pro-
fession, and urged that the women
should be educated for the profession
of a housewife just the same as the
husbands of the women are educated
for the profession of law or medicine.
Mrs. Frost spoke of the servant
problem and in this she found that
the servants were in need of educa-
ton. She insisted that the servant
to be properly trained should have
the same education as the artisan has
for his trade. Mrs. Frost spoke OF
the household expenses and urged the
fact that too often the garbage pals
we're too large and that almost as
much went out of. the back door as
came in at the front. The paper was
generally discussed by the members
of the club, the discussion being led
by Mrs w. w. Strong.
The musical program for the meet
ing was furnished by Mrs. H. E. Tan.
ner. Under the general topic of
'Songs of Home Mrs. Tanner rem
dered four beautiful songs during the
afternoon. The meeting closed with
the usual social hour.

Man Giving the Name "Thomey'
Works Bold Game Among
Southwest Side People
SELLS COAL AT LOW PRICE
Declares That Car Broke Down and Coal
Must Be Disposed of and Gathers
in Money at a Rapid Rate
Before Discovered

The police of the city are looking
for man by the name Of Thomey,
who is alleged to have victimized
many people in the southwest portion
of the city On Wednesday and who is
rated as one of the boldest swindlers
that ever worked in Kenosha. His
game was such an uncommon one
that he managed to get away with
quite little money and while the ex-
act amount secured is not known it is
claimed that many people were VIC
timized and it is thought that the
man and his companions reaped a
golden harvest in Kenosha. The
man alleged that he was coal dealer
and when people out in the neighbor-
hood of South Oak street got chance
to buy coal at dollar ton less than
the market price they jumped at the
chance and poured their money into
the pockets of the alleged swindler.
Complaint was made this forming or
behalf of Mrs. Robert Walden, who
was victimized to the extent of seven
dollars and 1t is expected that many
other cases will be discovered before
the man is located. It is thought
that the man fed the city and is now
working the same game miles away.
The fellow called at the Walden
home and finding Mrs. Walden asked
her If she had any need of good
anthracite coal if she could secure it
at low price. The coal bin at the
Walden home was little low and
Mrs. Walden asked the price and was
told that she could have the coal de-
livered for So ton. The man ex-
planned that he had shipped car of
hard coal to Kenosha but that the car
had broken down and that in order
not to be forced to reload the car he
had been ordered to sell the coal at
the mine cost. The game looked
good apd Mrs. Walden gave an order
for two tons. The man insisted that
he must have some advance payment
on the coal and after a little argu-
ment Mrs. Walden paid the man So in
currency. The man gave her a
~ AhICO iCSCAPt dHA ACAl A1C VIGIL W
another house in the neighborhood
and SOLD two more tons of coal but at
this place the woman had but 81. rs in
the house and the man took this as an
advance payment.
The coal was to have been delivered
in the afternoon but when the thrifty
housewives saw darkness approach
ing and no coal coming they began
to get suspicious and looked into the
matter only TO find that no coal car
had broken down and that they had
been swindled. It is impossible to
find out just how many people placed
money on deposit to secure the de-
livery of the coal but as the man had
several assistants with him he must
have got away with considerable
money,
| An examination into the matter
shows that similar game had been
worked IN Waukegan on Tuesday and
it is just possible that the gang of
fakirs are making a march along the
lake shore. Police officers in other
cities will be notified and an effort
will be made to catch the men and
bring them back to Kenosha for trial.
In the meantime the people of the city
should be warned not to purchase
coal and pay for it to unknown men.

pany will not pay damages for per-
sona1 injuries without a fight in the
Supreme Court for this morning

against the company by Peter Mum
gen and Fred Parker were sent to
Madison for the consideration of the
Supreme Court. Both cases were
tried at the last term of the Circuit
Court and each of the defendants Sc
cured damages against the company
While the amount of the damages was
not very large, the total for the two
cases being less than $1,000, Frost

CHEYENNE'S PILGRIMAGE.
Impelled by Religious Belief to Revisit
Old Home in Wyoming.

After the Custer massacre on the Lit
Tie Big Horn, said John ii. Seger, who
has lived among the Cheyenne Indians in
Oklahoma for more than thirty years, to
an Arapaho correspondent of the Kansas
city Times, "a part of the Cheyennes
who expected TO be punished severely by
the government came down here and
Joined this southern band of Cheyennes
on the Washlta river, near Arapaho.
The climate was new to them and the
fever and chills took away many of
them. They longed for their old asso-
elates and haunts and determined 10 re-
turn.
These 900 Cheyennes. led by Dun
Knife. Wild Hog and Little Chief, seat

returned the fire and several on both
sides were killed But the Indians ex-
hlbltcd remarkable ability in their march

through all right, but one was captured.

that II they stayed here the evil. spirit
would put the last one of them into his

The authorities and the people did not

badly all around, But the fact that
TWO OF the bands got through in the
cold part OF bad winter and only one

When It is remembered that the women

the camp baggage it was remarkable

TBLEST BE THE TIE
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to Be
Written.

Not one in thousand of those who
sing that good old hymn "Blest be the
tie that binds knows the history of its
homely origin.
According to the Church Eclectic, il
was written by Rev. John Fawcett who
in the latter part of the Eighteenth CEN
fury was the pastor of a poor little
church in Lockshire, England. His fam.
lily and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than 81 a week.
In 17T2 he felt himself obliged TO ac-
cept call TO & London church. His
farewell sermon had been preached. Six
wagons loaded with furniture and hooks
stood by the door. His congregation.
men, women and children, were in an
agony of tears.
Mr.. Fawcett and his wife sat down on
a packing case and cried with the others.
looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said:
"Oh, John, John, | cannot bear this, |
know not where to go!"
Nor | either" said he; nor will we
go. Unload the wagons and put every
thing back in its old place.
His letter of acceptance 10 the Lon
don church was recalled and he wrote
this hymn to commemorate the episode.

COLLEGE COWBOYS AT SEA.
A Job on a Cattleboat as a Means to a
Vacation Abroad.

Collaborating to England is rapidly be-
coming the summer outing which. accord
ing to the Travel Magazine, nowadays
finds favor with the collegian.
From early spring of the present year
shipping agents along the Atlantic sea
board were deluged with applications
from the colleges for positions as cattle
men.
Every craft which in June put out of
Montreal, Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia with a shifty cargo Of steers for
the British market carried a delegation of
highly educated youths to attend to the
wants Of the longhorns. Reservations in
the forecastle became almost as common
as in the first cabin area
The romance in the idea of donning
corduroys and. playing master to wild
western bullocks may be cited as part of
the motive for the appearance of numbers
of collegians in the cattle pens tween
decks. Then, too, for many it was the
beef route alone which made wanderings
abroad possible.
