WOMAN FEARS AssAssINs
Katherine Pafzik Believes Some One
Tried to Shoot Her While Asleep

Tried TO Sh00C her Wh11e asleep
Mrs. Katherine Pafzik, former
Kenosha woman, who conducts a
boarding house at Twenty-second
and Clark streets, Lakeside, called at
the sheriff's office at Racine Friday
and exhibited a 39-caliber bullet
which had been fired into the room
where she was sleeping at 10 O'Clock
Thursday evening and came within a
foot of her head.
The bullet, which was evidently
fired from a rifle, crashed through
the side of the house and striking the
opposite wall dropped to the floor,
where it was picked up kby Mrs.
Pafzik.
The woman believes that ssome cne
was attempting to assassinate her
and believes that the shot was fred
with view to hitting her as she lay
in bed Enlarging upon this theory
she believes that the person who fred
it was familiar with the house and
knew Just where her bed stood.
Although she has no known enem-
les she is inclined to believe that a
boarder with whom she had little
trouble some time ago is trying to get
even with hef for alleged wrongs.
The officers spent some time at Lake
side today investigating the affair,
but got no clew and believe that the
shot was a stray one coming from the
gun Of some one who was shooting al
dogs or cats.

TWO MORE CARRIERS
Postoffice Department Recognizes
the Demand Of Kenosha for
More Carrier Service
PEOPLE MUST BUILD WALKS

Postmaster John B. Maloney has
received notice from the postmaster
general that the demand of Kenosha
for an improved mail carrier service
is to be recognized and at once and it
is stated that by the beginning of the
fiscal year on the first day Of June
two new regular carriers and one new
substitute will be added to the force
for work in the city. This will give
the office total of thirteen carriers
and with the added carriers it will be
possible to give three regular de-
liveries to the business portions of
the city and two deliveries to the res
ideut portions. For some time the
carriers have been supposed to make
the three deliveries in the down town
districts, but the work has been so
heavy that at times the mid day de-
livery has been omitted. The inspec-
tor will come to Kenosha within few
days and make a new map of the car
rier districts that the new carriers
may be properly taken care of.
1u LuC ACdASA11AC bAAC POSSA46SA~A AAoS
been notified that the people of Ke-
noshs must build sidewalks for the
use of the carriers and on and after
the first of next Iune the free de-
livery will be discontinued from all
residents of the city who have not
built walks in front OF the property
occupied by them. Repeated COM
plants have been made to the depart
ment on this account and it must be
remedied at once. The people are
also to be notified that the service of
free delivery will be discontinued to
ali parties where the walks are not
properly cleaned from snow and ice
during the winter months.
With the new carriers Kenosha will
have one Of the best delivery services
to be found in any of the Wisconsin
cities and it is to be hoped that the
people will cooperate with the gov
eminent to he'extent Of keeping the
walks in proper condition for the car
riers. Several other changes will be
made IN the postoffcesIat the same
time, but these will not be made
known until some time next month.

Circuit Court Takes Long Recess
and Ted Collier Will Not Be
Sentenced Till April 20
CONSIDERING PUNISHMENT
Calendar and Court Will Take
Up Civil Cases When 1t
Convenes Again

AL the close OF the session OF Inc
Circuit Court on Friday afternoon
Judge Be1den adjourned court until
Monday morning, April %, and Ted
Collier, the auto expert, waiting
sentence on charge Of manslaugh-
ter, will have to wait until that time
to know his fate. 1t is certain that
the sentence for Collier is one Of the
hardest questions that has ever come
to Judge Belden for decision, and he
desires to take long time to think
over the matter and arrive at a de-
cision.
One of the high officials of the court
stated on Friday that the position Of
the court in the matter was a peculiar
one. He said that the court felt that
fine, be it ever so large, was hardly
sufficient for punishment, while at
the same time he thought that to send
Collier to prison term would be lay-
ing too hard penalty upon him. It
is certain that the court considers
gravely the question Of putting the
stigma of prison term on Collier
and his family on account of the ac-
cidental killing of Dreyer. Judge
Belden admitted, when interviewed,
that the problem was a hard one, but
he gave no intimation as to what his
final decision will be. The case will
not, however, be settled before the
hearing of the charges against Jack
son and Montgomery in the lower
courts.
In the meantime the attorneys for
Collier are busy preparing briefs to
take the case to the Supreme Court,
and they believe that there is suffi-
cieat error in the trial to open the
way for a reversal of the verdict and
secure a new trial for Collier.
There are many important cases to
be tried by the court before the term
is ended and it is planned to take them
up as rapidly as possible when the
court convenes again. But two cases
remain on the criminal calendar and
both of them will be disposed of be-
fore the court finally adjourns. Both
are cases of minor interest. The
most important civil case is the ap-
peal of the Thomas B. Jeffrey COM
pany from the decision of the COM
mission which fixed the value of prop
erty taken by the Chicago and Mil
waukee Railway company for its
right Of way. This suit is scheduled
to come up on Monday, May 6. The
first case set for hearing when the
court sets again is that of Bert Pear
son against the Citizens Telephone
company.
Four Of the minor civil actions on
the calendar we're settled out of court
on Friday so that the total number
left is small.
It is now thought that the term will
be concluded by the latter part Of
May or the first of June. 1t is pos.
sib1e that all Of the court cases will
be laid over to the regular June term
of the court. There are eight cases
to be heard by the court the most i'm
portant of the number being the fight
started by the people of the town of
Pleasant Prairie against the Latin
Rand Powder Company. 1t is expect
ed that this case will attract great
deal of attention about the state. 1t
will be prosecuted by the Attorney
General of the State.

deeper tone are unusually effective in
the new v~elvets, which are made up
in the long, close-fitting coats. Often
the skirts are finished with bands OF

that the trimmings are limited to the
