Little Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed. Miller Badly Injured by
Runaway Horse Thursday
ALL HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Runaway Horse Rushes Into a Crowd
of Twenty-Five Children, But the
Miller Child Was Only One
Seriously Injured

The most thrilling runaway seen in
Kenosha in many years occurred late
Thursday afternoon, when a horse
attached to delivery wagon dashed
down an alley leading off of Grogan
street into a crowd of twenty-five
children and while all of the children
save one escaped injury, Mamie Mil
Ter, the little four year old daughter
OF. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward G. Miller,
was so seriously injured that fears
for her recovery are entertained.
The little girl with her other COM
panions had no warning of their dan
ger and it seems a miracle that more
of the children were not killed or in
jured.
The horse is said to be used as de-
livery horse for wholesale grocery
in the city, but the police have not as
yet been able to discover the name of
the owner or the driver of the horse.
AS soon as the accident occurred the
driver of the horse managed to get
the animal under control and during
the excitement following the injury
of the Miller child he drove away and
has not since been found. 1t is not
thought that the driver was to blame
for the accident as the horse was en-
tirely out of his control.
The accident occurred Just after
four O'Clock Thursday evening. The
children of the neighborhood, twenty
five in number, were all playing in
the alley between the lake and
Maiden Lane. Most of the children
were about the same age as the Miller
girl. The horse had started to run at
the north end of Maiden Lane and
the driver had made an effort to con-
troll it but when Grogan street was
reached the horse turned and swung
into the alley. He was running at a
screamed and the rest of them scam
pered for a safe place. The little
MillerEgirl was about the center OF
| the alley when she was knocked down
| by theshorse. His hoof struck her III
| the abdomen and rendered her uncon.
scious. Another one of the children
was struck by the wheel of the wagon,
but he was not badly Injured.
| The injury of the child caused
great excitement, and in few min.
utes crowd of nearly 200 people had
gathered. The little girl was picked
up and carried to her home a half a
block from the scene of the accident,
and Doctors Cleary and Thompson
were called to attend her. It was
found that she was badly bruised, and
complained of great pain in hen
shoulder, back and abdomen. During
the night she suffered considerable
from henlorrhages, and the doctors
fear that she was seriously injured
internally.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition OF many
women The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of It's freshness and the form of it's
fairness.

PLAN Is APPROVED
Market Square Property Owners
Almost Unanimous for I'm
prOvement of Street
PLANS TO BE PUSHED AT ONCE

The proposition Of Mayor German
for the Improvement of Market
Square has made a great hit not only
with the property owners along the
square, but with the people of the eu-
tire city and the announcementsof the
plan has brought such strong conf
mendation from the taxpayers of the
city that the mayor is determined to
push the work on the;improvement of
the square at once and if possible the
plaus and specifications will be ready
and the contracts for the work let
before the end of the present year.
It was feared that there5Swou1d be
grave objections among the people
owning property on the square, but
when these people were scanvassed
Thursday evening every onesseen was
in hearty accord with the plan. The
Becker Wagon company would prob
ably be the heaviest losers .by the
change in grade proposed and Mr..
Becker showed the spirit of the prop
erty owners when he declared, "Bring
round the petition and we will be the
first to sign it," Of acourse these
buildings have been built on a grade
given by the city and it will be up TO
the city to find ways,to raise the
buildings to the grade and the city
must pay the expense of such a raise.
However there are only two buildings
to be raised and it is thought that
this can be accomplished at very
little expense.
The government will begin work on
the new post Office the first of next
April and it is the plan of Mayor Cor
man to have the work on Market
Square under way before the close of
his term in office. 1t is thought pos
sibte that some of the public spirited
people Of the city will be willing TO
help in the paying of the expense of
the proposed Improvement, but should
this be found inadvisab1e or impossi-
bic the city will be in pretty good
position to make an appropriation for
the work at the end of the year.
Mayor German stated this morning
that the improvement of Market
Square was going through this time
regardless of obstaclessand he has a
majority of the members of the Coun-
Gil behind him in the fight.

SAM SIEG DROWNED
Son of Charles H. Sieg, Former
Manufacturer, Drowned in the
Lake at South Haven
TRY HARD TO SAVE HIM

A number of Kenosha people re-
ceived letters Friday evening an
nouncing the death of Sam Sieg, the
fifteen year old son of Charles H.
Sieg, the former president of the Sieg
Manufacturing Company in this city.
The young man was drowned in the
surf at South Haven late Wednesday
evening. The funeral took place at
the home Of Mrs. Sieg's mother in
Austin this afternoon and the remains
were buried in one of the Chicago
cemeteries.
Sam Sieg was widely known among
the boys and girls of Kenosha. He
had just passed his fifteenth birthday.
Since the separation of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sieg the son had been making his
home with Mrs. Sieg in New York
and two weeks ago he came west to
spend two weeks with his grand
mother in Austin.
A week later with party of friends
of the family he went to South Haven
for an outing along the lake. Late
Wednesday evening Sieg and num-
Der of other boys of the party had
gone in bathing and as the boy was
an excellent swimmer no one thong hit
to watch him. The first that the
members of the party knew that he
was in trouble was when they heard
him calling for help.
Sieg had gone far out into the surf
aud it is supposed that he was seized
with cramps. Two of the other boys
in the party started to his rescue but
they could not get to him on account
of the high surf. The men in charge
of the boats along the beach started
to the aid of the drowning boy but
reached him too late to save his life.
The remains were recovered a few
minutes after the drowning. They
were taken to the home Of the grand
mother in Austin on Thursday even
ing. The sad death of the boy will
cause universal sorrow among the
friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sieg in Keno
sha.

Giogio, FilippeIlo Killed Himself at

Report of an inquest which has been

game with the butt end of the shot
gun. The gun was fired and the
entire charge passed directly through
the heart of the Italian. The body of
the dead man was taken to Twin
Lakes and the jury which investigated
his death returned a verdict of ac-
cidenta1 death. Ten dollars in money
was found in the mans pockets aud

WEIGH NAMED AGAIN
c H. WeIch Reappointed Court
Stenographer BY JudgeE. B.
BeIden of First District
GOOD SERVICE is REWARDED

Judge Belden has certified to the
secretary of state that he has appoint
ed Charles E. Welsh, of Milwaukee,
official Photographic reporter for the
First Judicial Circuit. Mr.. Welsh has
for years been court reporter and has
become thoroughly acquainted with
attorneys and conditions in the first
judicial district, which fact makes
him an especially valuable man. His
re-appointment will be a matter of
great interest to Kenosha people hav-
ing business in the Circuit Court.
The words photographic report
err" used in reference to Mr.. Welsh,
doubtless compose a new term to
many and somewhat misleading as it
may indicate to some that a phon-
ograph is used in taking the record of
court proceedings.
This is not the case, however, but
the true situation, while it has been
IN vogue for some time, is neverthe-
less fully as unique and interesting.
In taking the report of trials and
court proceedings Mr.. Welsh uses the
shorthand method as of old, but there
all similarity to the old style of trans
posing the work stops, and the phon-
ographic procedure comes in.
Instead of sitting down to type
writer and pounding out in plain
English what is contained in his
notes, Mr.. Welsh goes to his Office or
residence and placing photograph
near an easy chair or a couch starts
1T going on a blank cylinder and just
talks the story of the trial as contain
ed in his notes into the machine. This
requires considerable work, out not
nearly as much as transposing the
notes on typewriter.
The cylinders in which the story is
talked are then turned over to stem
ographers who place them on other
ma chines and with ear tube connec-
tons write the report out on a type
writer it is spoken to them by the
photograph.
In this way the work IS accomplish
ed much more rapidly and with far
less exertion on the part of Mr.. Welsh
than the old method of using type
writer himself or debating the notes
to other stenographers. In fact the
work now required of a court reporter
is so strenuous that it would be i'm
possible for him to find time in which
to transpose the work in the old way.
The phonogra phic system has been
used by Mr.. Welsh for several years
and is now being rapidly taken up by
court reporters all over the country.

HITS BACK AT KNAPP
kenosha Poet satarizes the Work of
the Famous Writer of Epitaphs

For years the Knapp monuments in
the City Cemetery have been famous
throughout the country and the
weird poetry of the former Kenosha
unbel1ever has attracted the attention
OF many men of learning. It seems
that at last the city has produced the
equal of Knapp as poet and a few
Gays ago a stranger in the city while
wandering about the Knapp lot found
piece of poetry placed on a grave
near one of the monuments. The
man who wrote the poetry signs him
self I'M. I. f." bat there is nos other
hint of his identity. Here are the
lines which he ascribed as another
epitaph to be placed on the monu-
ment of "Old Broad Gauge:
Here lies a who never saw,
What lay before his eyes,
AS Truth Divine and Natures Laws
Appeared to him as lies.
He was of prejudicial mind
His Epitapll does tell,
He was not what could never be
An Honest Infide1."

MAY YET FIGHT BATTLES
Feliz Gurwich. WOu1d-be Soldier, Must
Stay Three Months in Jail


Feliz Gurwich, the Kenosha man
who enlisted in the United States
army after having stolen a suit of
clothes from house on North Chi
cago street, may yet realize his ambi-
ton of wearing the army blue, as
on Wednesday afternoon he pleaded
guilty to charge of petit larceny and
was sentenced to spend three months
in the county jail. Gurwich was
fined $50 and the costs of the action,
but $50 was lot of money to him and
he directed the Court to put it in
days and hours at the jail, and the
Court thought that ninety DAYS
would DE ABOUT right.
When the police investigated the
case they found that Gurwich had
stolen nothing from the house but the
suit of clothes, the other things which
he was charged with stealing being
found in the house.
