The Orange growers and truckers
throughout the State will no doubt be

Company OF Tampa:

would be pleased to furnish you or your
customers at any time any thing In our
line. Very truly yours,
THE SKINNER IRRIGATION CO..
BY r. F. Holbrook, Manager.
This letter explodes the claims made
by several we'll known firms handling
gasoline engines In this State that they
have contracted with the Skinner lrri-
cation Company for the exclusive han
ding of their system, thus leading the
public to believe thar this system can
only be procured through them. whereas
any firm or person whatsoever can pur'
chase the genuine Skinner irrigation
systems, II he so desires, at probably
less than the figures quoted by these
engine companies or their agents.
Unfortunately, our planters and truck
ers are being misled in more ways than
one by these same people and IT would
pay them to write to the different firms
advertising in this paper and obtain
from them prices and specifications on
their requirements. The use Of a-cent
stamp will frequently save you a hum
dred dollars by putting you wise to the
methods adopted by trusts and their
agents in securing orders for this line OF
goods.
1t is high time for our citizens to
wake up and look about them more
carefully. Just because some fellow
with a long line OF hot-air talk, beautiful
word pictures and an unlimited amount
OF nerve happens along and gets you

Attorney General To Get After In
surance Companies Failing
To Obey State Laws
CLAIM LAWS ARE VIOLATED

Attorney General Gilbert is examin-
ing the insurance laws of the state,
with reference to the failure of the
withdrawing life insurance companies
to file their report and pay their taxes,
and from what can be learned legal
proceedings will be instituted against
the companies this week. Early in the
month the insurance commissioner
turned over to the attorney general s
Office names Of the Withdrawing COM
panies, which had not filed reports
with the request that the matter re
ceive his attention. 1t is understood
the details Of the proposed litigation
are so complicated, as to just what
provisions of the law have been VIC
lated and the specific penalty for each
violation, that the preparation Of com
plants in the matter has taken con-
siderable time.
The insurance department will de-
mand about $31 500 from the companies
that withdrew. When each company
began to do business in this state it had
to put up $500 and it is entitled to a
credit of this amount upon withdraw
ing.
Several of the companies that with
drew from the state have filed reports
others have notified the insurance com
missioner they will and still others have
disregarded all letters of the depart
ment. The Great Western, Kansas City,
withdrew from the state and fled a
complete report. AS it's tax was not
greater than $500, no action was started
against the company. The Equitable
Life of New York filed complete re-
port at Madison Monday and state
ment was mailed yesterday Of The taxes
DUE The Union Mutual, Pacific Mutu-
al, National Life Of Montpelier, and the
Connecticut Mutual have all filed re-
ports. They have not paid their taxes
but have consented to do so. The Ger
mania Life of New York has written
that it will file it's report and pay the
tax. The Michigan Mutual has filed an
incomplete report and paid its tax
lime Will be gwen this company to com
plete it's report.
Mr.. Beedle of the state insurance
department says it is evident many of
the companies are willing to obey the
law, but some of the companies, since
withdrawing, have not answered his
letters. When the companies with
drew from the state they thought they
would escape making further reports
of their business to the Wisconsin de-
partment and would not have to pay
the fling fee or tax. Tt was discovered
however, that the new insurance laws
made provision for the retiring com
panies to file reports, that the Wiscon-
sin policy holders of the company might
be kept informed. The actions to be
started this week are in accordance with
that statute.

KEN0SHA DEMOCRATS GOING

Chairman Manson Of the Democratic
state committee is busy on the prelimi
nary arrangements for the trip Of the
Wisconsin delegation, and such other
Democrats as may wish TO join it, to
Denver.
He has sent out a circular letter to
delegates inviting expressions Of their
wishes and propositions relative tc
routes as well as rates.
Of course all roads are bidding fol
the business and they all promise first
class accommodations.
The rate presently indicated by rail
roads from Milwaukee to Denver is
$33.40, but there is some prospect that
the rate may be reduced to $3.50, be
fore the time Of departure. The Pull
man sleeper rate for double berth from
Milwaukee to Denver will not be more
than $3.50 The trip, it is understood
will include an opportunity for dele
gates and others to go as far south as
Pueblo, including trip to Colorado

Choice of return trip from Denver may
be had.
Chairman Manson in his letter con
veys to delegates the invitation of Will
liam j. Bryan to the Wisconsin dele
cation to stop over and visit him at his
home in Lincoln, the acceptance of
which honor is urged by Mr.. Manson
upon the delegates.
The Wisconsin delegation has had en-
gagged for it nine large rooms with
baths at the Adams hotel. The price
OF these rooms is So day each
There are three beds in each room
and the rooms may be occupied by three
persons, by two or one, but the price re-
mains the same, So per day, and the
rooms must be paid for each for five
days whether occupied or not Thus
each room brings $45 to the manage
ment. The cost to delegates depends
on the number of persons in each room
if three the cost would be SIS each
for five days.

Con McKune, Serving Term in
Prison for Attempted Muir
der, Would Be Released
FRIENDS URGE HIS PETITION

After spending nearly three years in
the state prison at Waupun as punish
ment for a crime, for which he declares
there were many mitigating circumstan-
ces never brought to light, Con McKune
formerly Of Kenosha, has begun an eff
fort to secure his release from prison
by pardon and petition to the par
don board will be put into circulation
at once.
McKune pleaded guilty and was given
a sentence Of - years for assault with
intent to kill Miss Dorothy Nelson on
the streets Of Racine. While intoxicat-
ed, he shot the girl, inficting serious
injuries, from which, however, she soon
recovered.
McKune now claims that his plea of
guilty was made by advice of attorneys
and friends and was made with the pur-
pose Of shielding the girl as far as pos
sible from any stories that might be set
afOat regarding her. McKune declares
that the true story leading up to the
shooting was ignored and omitted at the
"AA@Ai AAO P4OAO111LIS W P1CoO Su11Iy duu
accept his punishment. McKune de-
clares that these claims are substantial
ed by the attitude Of the girl, her parents
and friends who have since manifested
their friendship for him In many, ways
and have expressed their gratitude for
his consideration at that time. The act
was committed, according to McKune,
while in a state Of intoxication.
A letter was received today by Dis
trict Attorney Fulton Thompson of Ra-
cine county notifying him that Nc
Kune purposed instituting proceedings
looking toward his securing pardon and
asking the approval of the district at
torney in the move.
During the several years of his in
generation, McKune has been a model
prisoner and his record at the peniten-
tiary will work toward securing the
favor of the pardon board. McKune
claims to have the support of the police
officials, Elmer Gittins and others who
prosecuted the case and who have made
themselves familiar with the circum-
stances leading up to the crime.
The girl who has since married, and
is now Mrs. James Dunleavy, is said to
be willing for McKune to secure his re-
lease.

William B. Kerkman Demands
Damages of $500 From
Leila and Guy Runkel
UNUSUAL CAUSE OF ACTION
Declares That lie Was Permanently In
jured by Falling Through a Hay
Chute on the Farm OF the Defen-
dants-Parties Widely known

One of the biggest suits for personal
damages ever tried in Kenosha county
will go to trial in the Circuit Court on
next Wednesday morning when Judge
Parish of Ashland, will come to Keno
sha to hear the suit of William B. Kerk-
man VS.. Leila L. Runkel and Guy Run
lel, all well known residents of the
town Of Wheatland.
The plaintiff demands judgment in
the amount of $4,000 and the suit is
one of the most unusual ever tried in
this county. Miss Runkel and her
brother are IN charge of what is known
as the "Runkel Farm in the town of
Wheatland, and Kerkman is a dealer in
meats and poultry at the village Of New
Munster. The plaintiff was injured
while loading hay at the Runkel farm
last October and it is claimed that his
injuries were Of such a serious nature
that he is permanently disabled.
At the time of the accident the
latter part Of October of last year
Kerkman had gone to the Runkel
farm to purchase load Of nay and it
is claimed in the summons and cam
plant for the suit that he was directed
by Miss Runkel to go to the hay NOW
in the barn and inspect the hay The
NOW is constructed in such a manner
that it is about thirty feet from the
surface below and in one end of the
NOW there is a chute which is designed
to carry hay from the NOW to the sta
bles which are in the basement Of the
barn. At the time Kerkman went to
make an examination Of the hay he
alleges that the chute was completely
covered with a deep layer of hay and
that MS attention was not called to it
and that he was in no way warned of
his danger in going into the NOW. He
closed the deal for the purchase of a
load Of hay and two days later he went
to the farm again to load the hay.
When he went into the NOW he walked
over the loose hay and fell into the
chute and dropped to the basement floor
of the barn thirty feet below. It is
asserted in the complaint that in his
fall he injured his back and spine, was
bruised and wounded in such a manner
that he remained in an unconscious con
dition for term Of two weeks and
that since that time he has been forced
to expend large sums for medical treat
ment. He claims that his injuries are
Of such a nature that he is unable to
take care Of his business and that he
will never be able to do active work
again.
Kannenburg and Cochems of Milwau-
kee are the attorneys for the plaintiff
in the action. The fact that the parties
to the litigation are all well known in
Wheatland has caused the case to make
a great stir in that part Of the county
and it is expected that a large number
Of these people will be in court next
Wednesday morning when the case is
called for trial. This is the second
time that suit demanding so large a
sum for personal injuries has been filed
in the Circuit Court here, the other case
being that Of Yezick VS.. the Chicago
Brass Company which is now in the
Supreme Court for a decision.
