City To a Make Last Effort To Emo
Some Trace of Remains of ].
GiIlett Long Missing
ALLEN CO. DREOeE RIVER
Entire River Will be Dredged the Work
to Begin on Next Saturday and
This Will Offer Chance to
Find Missing Man

Notwithstanding the fact that John
Gillett has been missing from the city
for considerable more than year and
that no trace of him has been found
in that time the search for his re-
mains has not entirely been abandoned
and the city will make another effort to
find some trace of the missing man. 1t
has always been considered very prob
able that Gillett was drowned in the
Kenosha river and the fact that no
trace of the remains or the clothing
of the missing man was ever found
has led many people to believe that he
sank to the bottom of the river and
that the remains have ever since been
held down by the great weight of filth
in the river. Next Saturday morning
the Dixon Dredge Compang will begin
the work Of dredging the Kenosha
river for the N. R. Allen s Suns com
pany and the city will put a special
man on duty to seek some trace of the
body or the clothing of Gillett during
this dredging of the river. There have
been several complications arisen as a
result of the disappearance of Gillett,
which are causing the relatives of the
missing man considerable trouble. The
one sister of GiIlett finds it impossible
for her to dispose of property held by
the two on account Of the fact that
she cannot give clear title. In order
to give such a title Gillett must either
be found or declared legally dead by
the County Court. 1t is impossible to
have him declared dead in the County
Court until after he has been missing
for period of at least seven years.
The work of dredging the river is
to be done in a most thorough manner
and it is certain that if the remains
of the old man were not carried out
into the lake some trace will be found
of them at that time.
The dredging of the river is some
thing that the people have been
anxiously awaiting for many months.
The Allen company has now completed
one of the septic tanks to be used in
the disposition Of it's refuse and the
river will be purged from one end to
the other. The expense of this clean
ing is to be borne by the tannery com
pany and it will cost the company a
large sum of money It is thought
that the work will be completed by the
middle Of October. All owners of yes
sells now in the river have been mott
fed that they must be removed in order
that the work of dredging may go for
ward without interruption. The city
officials will probably have an inspector
on the work whose duty will be to see
that all refuse is dumped in the lake
beyond the reach of the city water
supply.

BOTHERED BY STAKES

Property owners in the southwestern
part of the city are taking considerable
interest in a series of stakes that have
been set there during the past few
weeks and notwithstanding the fact
that Investigations have been made
the identity of the surveyor setting
the stakes has not been discovered.
The stakes are set to run in line
with selleck avenue extended and they
run as far east as Fremont avenue.
It is thought that the stakes have been
set in some preliminary survey for 4
railway which would run to the lake
regions Of the county and that more
will be learned about them within q
short time. Several companies are
planning fer the building Of such a
line and selleck avenue and Fremont
avenue is one of the routes that have
been considered for the entrance Of
the roads to the city.

THE lost TRAIT,

"The Lost Trail, which opens an
engagement at the Rhode Opera House
Sunday matinee and night, Oct. 4 was
last season considered the very best
drama Of western life seen in years. It
is not, as it's title might suggest, a lurid
melodrama Of the old type, but a clean,
well written, handsomely staged pro-
duction-enacted by an exceptionally
strong company of twenty, headed by
Franklin Woodruff, the young romatic
actor.
IT is story of heart throbs, with
villainy as matter of course, but not
of the impossible or improbable sort.
Tt deals with the efforts, finally success
full, to reclaim young man who is
temporarily Oh the "wrong trail. =
The action takes place at military
post In Colorado, and there is an army
flavor that adds to it's charm. There
are five settings and the company car
ries all the needed scenery ard proper
ties for a genuinely artistic production.
There is also an abundance of comedy
and a. judicious selection Of persons to
fill the comedy roles, while specialties
are interpolated during the action from
time to time to lend variety.

CoNLEY CHALLENGES WINNER
Kenosha Fighter Offers to Meet AID
Wolgast Who Bested Danny Webster

Jacob Gies, manager of Frank Con
ley, the Kenosha italian fighter, sent a
long telegram to the ringside of the
Wolgast Webster battle at Colma last
night offering to meet the winner OF the
fight in battle under any conditions
that could be named with the exception
that the men were to weigh in at 1872
pounds ringslde. Gies stated that he
would post a forfeit up to $500 and
would have his man ready to fight on
the basis of winner to take all. Vol
CAST won the fight in the 18th round,
but as yet no response has been re
ceived from the telegram. Tt is pretty
certain that Wolgast does not want any
more of Conley's game and it is not
thought that he will accept the chal-
lenge of the Kenosha fighter.

PHILLIPS TO APPEAL
Man Sent to State Prison May Seek
Liberty From the Supreme Court

Frank Phillips, who was taken to
the state prison at Waupun on Tuesday
to serve a sentence of eighteen months
after being convicted of burglary, is
to make decided fight for his freedom.
and on the way to prison Tuesday he
declared that ne would be brought
back to Kenosha within few weeks
as he had directed attorneys to ques-
tion the legality Of his commitment
before the Supreme Court of the state.
Phillips still claims that he was never
arraigned on a charge Of burglary and
while attorneys claim that should the
Supreme Court uphold his claim it
would simply mean new trial for him.
Phillips seems to be of the idea that
this would give him his freedom. AS
yet Attorney John G. Slater who rep
resented Phillips at the trial has taken
no steps to appeal the case.

Chocolate

AS the bad effects OF coffee and
wishy -washy coffee substitutes are
moro generally recognized and under
stood, the use OF Ghirardellis Ground
Chocolate as beverage becomes more
general. 1t is the experience Of thou
sands who have substituted chocolate
for coffee that not only do they find It
more delicious beverage, but their
general health is greatly improved.
This Is due to the fact that this choco-
late IL not d nero stimulant. but >, is 4
perfect food. which Is readily digest
cd and asslmilated by the most ,en-
sitive stomachs. Chocolate. used reg
ularly, Is remedy for chronic dyspep-
sia. Undoubtedly the purest, most de-
licious and most convenient chocolate
on the market is Ghirardelll's Ground
Chocolate. 1t Is the original genuine
ground chocolate and Ia made by a
special process which blends the choco-
late and sugar In such manner as to
render 1t easily digestible and at the
same time produces an exquisite flavor
Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate for
cooking purposes will be found vastly
superior to the out-of-date cake choco-
lates--it is more convenient to use. and
imparts to everything in which 1t is
used delightful flavor.
