Waukegan Council Refused TO
Grant Franchise TO Chicago,
Kenosha & Milwaukee
MAY BE FORCED TO CONDEMN
Company's Managers Still Declare That
They Will Find a Way to Get
Through Both Waukegan and
Kenosha Within a Year

At the meeting of the Waukegan
City Council, held on Tuesday after
noon, the Chicago, Kenosha and Mil
waukee Electric Railway Co., which
IS now condemning right of way
through kenosha, was fatty refused a
franchise for the line to pass through
Waukegan, and it now seems that the
negotiations between the company
and the city of Waukegan are at an
end If the line is to go through Wau-
kegan it looks as if the company
would be forced to condemn the right
of way, just as it is doing in Kenosha.
There was little solace for the com.
pany in the action of the Waukegan
Council, as it was cool turn down by
the Aldermen, and the company was
left without leg to stand on. The
vote for the rejection of the ordinance
was eight to two. Secretary Frank
Grover, who conducted the negotia-
tons before the Kenosha City Coun-
Gil, was at the meeting and made a
proposition to the Waukegan Council,
by which the company was to aid the
city in building a bridge, but the
members of the Waukegan Council
refused to pay cent toward the con-
struction of the bridge and demanded
further bonus of $4,000 The com
pany absolutely refused to pay the
city cent IL the way of bonus, and
the Council declared that they would
not take up the ordinance without the
bonus clause included.
The local officials of the company
had not heard Of the action of the
Waukegan Council this morning and
they were unwilling to discuss the
matter more than to insist that the
road would be built regardless of the
action of the Council. With a con-
demned right of way through both of
the cities, it looks as if the company
was biting off pretty big proposition,
but the ficials declare that there is
plenty of money back of the road to
provide for all these conditions, and
if the stories told by the officials are
in keeping with the facts, it will be
just about as cheap for the company
to condemn the right of way as for
them to get the franchise by or
dinance.
The commissioners have been ap-
pointed to condemn the right of way
| through Kenosha, but this is as far as
the matter has gone, as the attorney
for the company stated some time ago
that the company desired to make an
effort to reach settlements with the

PIONEER RESIDENT DEAD

way, one of the pioneer residents OF
Kenosha county, which occurred on
last Wednesday at the home Of the
deceased in Dillon, Montana. Mr..
Se1way was sixty-seven years of age.
He was native Of England, but came
TO this country in 1949, and settled on
a farm near Kenosha. In 1864 he and
his brother made a memorable trip
across the plains and settled IN
Montana, where he had resided ever
since. He had been disting uished at
Dillon as a business man and as a
member of the Common Council.
While in Kenosha Mr.. Selway was
married to Miss Alice Fox, who with
FIVE children, all residents of Dillon
survive him. The funeral was held
at Dillon and the remains we're laid at
rest in the family plat in the city
cemetery there.

property owners before the matter was
laid before the commission for decis-
ion. 1t is possible that some deals
have been made, but if such is the
fact no deeds have been filed for rec
ord transferring the property to the
railway company. The managers of
the company have declared that it is
their plan to start work on the road
in the early spring, but there will be a
busy winter of promotion if this prom
Use is made good.
Al the present time the company
has nothing but the right of way be-
tween Waukegan and Kenosha, and it
is hardly possible that the line will be
built without an entrance to one of
the cities being assured.

CAN'T "A
FOR DEAD HORSES

Pierre. s. D.. Sept. 1O.-1n old terri
torial days the legislature passed a bill
providing for payment by the territory
in cases of horses which were killed by
the health authorities on account Of
CHAMBERS. Blu the session which passed
the law stopped at that point and made
no provision for supplying the funds
for carrying it into effect. The state
board at several times has discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of making a levy for
that purpose. but no action ever has
been taken.
While John L. Pyle was attorney
general and a member of the assess
ment board, he gave the board his
views of the law as unconstitutional. az
class legislation, and that no legal levy
could be made for the purpose pro
posed.
Several legislative sessions have dali
lied with the question but never have
reached the -appropriating stage, among
them being the session of last winter.
The bill failed and there is no money
for payment Of any such claims. al
though the residents of the state are
evidently of a different opinion. as nu-
merous claims for payment Under the
law are coming to the Office OF the
state auditor.

THE Ease of the National Stock Food

is delayed u few years by litigation in
the courts they will make more mil

the innocent purchaser has a right to

people who do not know what is in
them and who will feed them to inno-
cent babies who cannon help them

good. or they may kill it.
The talk about having to send out

nonsense. There is such an immense
profit in patent medicines that the man.
