MARRIED

On Wednesday morning, August z,
one of the prettiest weddings of the
year was celebrated in st. Francis
church, Brighton, when Miss
Rose Murphy, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dennis Murphy, of Brighton,
was married to George B. Kelly, Of
Chicago.
The day was ideal, not cloud to
mar the scene or interrupt the sug-
gestion of pleasant voyage on the
journey of life.
Mendelssohn' S wedding march was
artistically rendered by Miss Celia
Mcdonald, cousin of the bride. The
ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father FREEMAN in the presence of a
large assemblage of relatives and
friends.
The bride was beautifully attired in
white lace over white silk and carried
pink and white brides roses. The
groom wore the conventional black.
The bridesmaids were Misses Agnes
and Anna Kelly, sisters Of the groom.
carried white and pink carnations.
The groom was attended by Vim. and
Fred Murphy. The ushers were
Charles Murphy and Jerome Lynch.
After the ceremony a bountifu1
wedding feast was served at the home
of the bride in honor of the event. In
the evening the happy couple amid
the usual shower of rice took the train
for an extended wedding tour through
the West.
The bride is one of the most es-
Unable young ladies in this vicinity.
She is the youngest daugh liter of the
family and has always been fav orite
among relatives and friends.
The groom is also very well and
favorsbly known to many in this COM
munity. Although now of Chicago,
we can claim kim as Kenosha county
boy, as he was born and raised in the
good old town of Bristol. He is an
engineer on the Omaha Division of
the c. & NV. R'y, and although
comparatively young in the service
is one of the most capable and trust
worthy engineers on the line.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly will be at home
after Dec. at 1928 Washington Bou1e-
ward, Chicago. A host of loyal friends
unite in extending congratulations
and best wishes for happiness and
prosperity. w.

GETS BACK MONEY
John Wensing, Who Was Robbed,
Is Returned Over $4,000
in Bank Certificates
FOUND BY LITTLE CHILDREN

John Wensing, the farmer from
Somers, who, on last Friday was
robbed of over $4,000 in money and
bank certificates in Racine while at
tending the circus, is today happy
nan. He is now in possession OF
nearly all that he lost and it came to
him in peculiar way. Last Satur-
day several children, among whom
were some Of ]. Smiths, 1892 Franklin
street, Racine, were playing along
the side of the road and noticed big
pa ckage of pretty co1ored papers.
They picked them up and sorting out
some of the incest colored they took
them home and showed them to their
parents. Then it dawned upon their
parents that the papers were valuable
to some one and the Manufacturers
bank IN Racine was notified and then
Mr.. Wensing was told Of the find.
He went in from Somers today and
was given package in which there
was something over $1,000. There is
still shortage of about 81 900 in GER
tificates and SIS in money, but Wen
sing considers himself very lucky to
have found as many as he has Of the
missing papers. The thieves after
stealing the papers must have sorted
them out taking the cash and the
pockethook and throwing away papers
they thought we're no good. Among
the papers found was note for 500
on which they might easily have real
lied money if they had tried.

Nine Prisoners Charged With
Felonies, Appear Before
Judge Williams.
RAILWAY ROBBERS TO PRISON
Four of the Men Charged With Robbina
Cars ON the North Western ROAD
Sent To the State Prison for a
Term of One Year

The county of Kerosha had a great
criminal housekeeping today when
with Judge Grin T. Williams, of
Milwaukee, on the bench nine men
who had been in the county Jail
charged with felonies ranging from
forgery to burglary and grand lar
ceny went into Circuit Court and en-
tered pleas of guilty to the charges
az ainst them. It was the greatest
class of criminals ever known in a
Kenosha county Court in a single day
and Sheriff Pfennig will be busy for
several days delivering men to the
different state institutions of reform
to which they were sentenced.
In the long list of men arraigned
we're five Milwaukee men who had
been employees of the North Western
road and in such capacityssit was al
legged that they had conspired and
robbed the company Of goods to the
value of thousands of dollars. Each
one of these men was sent to the
state prison at Waupun for term of
one year.
The men had all agreed with the
District Attorney to go into Court and
save the county the expense of the
trial by pleading guilty.to the charges
against them, and before the men
were arraigned the District Attorney
made short address to sthe Court, IN
which he stated that the men had
shown willingness to aid the county
and save the cost of their keep at the
| Jail and the cost of long trials, and
that for this reason he would ask the
Court to impose in each case the mini
mum sentence. The Court, in SEN
fencing the men, statedJthat he would
take this fact into consideration, and
under the recommendation: of the at.
torney the minimum sentence was
imposed. The fol1owingiis the list of
cases disposed of:
Conductor Charles RIFT, of Milwau.
kee, for twelve years an employe of
the North Western road, charged
with burglary and grand larceny in
connection with recent train robber-
les, one year at the state prison al
