THREE BADLY HURT
Mrs. Jacob SchIitz and Children
Of Paris Injured in Runaway
Accident Sunday
HORSES FRIGHTENED AT AUTO

Mrs. Agnes Schlitz, widow of the late
Jacob Schlitz and one of the best
known women of the town Of Paris, was
seriously injured in a runaway accident
at point on the Burlington road just
west Of the tracks of the Northwestern
Railway Company shortly after four
o CLOCK Sunday afternoon and she is
now at the Kenosha hospital suffering
from severe bruises and a fracture Of
one of the ribs on the RIGHT side of her
body. Mrs. Schlitz is 70 years of age
and she has suffered terribly from the
shock of the accident but her condition
today shows Improvement and it is
thought that she will survive her in
juries. Joseph Schlitz, son and Miss
Schlitz, a daughter, who were in the
vehicle at the time Of the accident, es-
capped with slight bruises.
The three had come to Kenosha on
Sunday morning for a visit with Mrs.
Kollmann, a daughter Of the injured
woman and after spending the day in
the city, they had started for their
home in the town of Paris just before
four o'clock. Mr.. Schlitz was driving
the team which was considered per-
fectly safe team in every way. An
automobile came along and one Of the
horses became frightened and jumped
to one side. It is probable that Schlitz
would have been able to handle the
team had it not been that with the first
jump of the team the tongue of the
carriage was broken and this allowed
portion Of it to drop down. This
frightened the horses and they started
to run and in second the vehicle
had been overturned and the occupants
thrown to the ground. Mrs. Schlitz
was thrown very heavily and it is
thought that her head struck on a
stone at the side of the road. She was
picked up unconscious and DR.. II. J..
Stalker was called to attend her. DR..
Stalker found Mrs. SchIitz in a dazed
condition and ordered her removed to
the Kenosha hospital. Miss Schlitz and
her brother were fortunate to escape
with slight brusises and neither of them
had any bones broken. The team was
captured short distance from the
place where the accident occurred. It
is probable that Mrs. Schlitz will be in
the hospital for some time, but her
friends are hopeful of her final re-
covery. Schlitz and his sister returned
to their home in Paris later in the even
ing.

HAVE COMPLETED FROST LINE
Cars on New Electric Line Will Soon
be Running Into Milwaukee

It is believed that the receivers of
the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway company will be able to run
cars from Evanston to Milwaukee the
latter part of this week or the fore
part of next week as announcement
made yesterday by engineers in charge
of the construction work was to the
effect that all was completed except
portion of the trestle near Milwau-
kee, over which the Chicago & North
western s Madison division nears the
southern limits of Milwaukee.
The construction work, track lay
ing, wire stringing and other work
has been retarded somewhat by the
delay in constructing the trestle, but
was completed practically week ago
up to either end of the trestle and
it will require but few hours to
complete the line when the trestle is
finished.
The receivers and engineers of the
Frost line did not expect to have cars
running into Milwaukee before Oct. Is,
but the work could be pushed rapidly
because of fair weather and the road
is now practically completed. The ex-
tension from Racine to Milwaukee was
the one link to complete the line from
Chicago to Milwaukee and now that
the extension has been built and the
road ballasted, the receivers can with
in a few days have orders issued to
run cars to Milwaukee and there con
meet with other lines. The company
has its own tracks in Milwaukee, but
terminal has not yet been erected.

SUMMER HOME CLOSES
Children Return to Chicago to Resume
School work After Long Vacation

Children Return to Chicago to Resume
School work After Long Vacation
After the most successful year in its
history, the summer home for children
under the auspices of the Sisters Of st.
Mary closed its season on Monday after
noon and the company of hundred
children returned to Chicago on
special train. The year has been a
record breaker from many standpoints.
More children have been cared for than
in any preceding year and the four
months passed without single serious
accident and without any serious
epidemic of disease. But one case Of
contagious disease was reported at the
home during the summer. The people
Of Kenosha have been most liberal in
the support of the home this reaso- and
every want of the children has been
anticipated.
The children were taken back to
Chicago on Monday and most of them
were started into school this morning.
The older girls went to the home Of
the Sisters on Washington Boulevard
to spend the winter.

From TUESDAYS Dailyl

(From Tuesdays Daily
Frank N. HUBBARD, one of the mail
carriers employed at the Kenosha post

about the Iippert barn. Hubbard was
riding bicycle when car belonging
to G. W. Allen and driven by one of
the employees Of the Gardiner garage
came round the corner. There was not
room for Hubbard to get out of the
way and he was knocked from the
wheel sustaining a number of bad
bruises and straining his left elbow.
He was removed to the office of DR..
FL. A. Robinson ard later taken to his

ACTION rs DEFERRED
German I4utherans Take No Action in
Regards to Bids for New Church

A meeting Of the German Lutheran
church congregation was held on Sun
day evening for the purpose of CON
sidering the bids for the new church
opened by the building committee on
last Tuesday evening. No action was
taken in the matter and another meet
ing Of the congregation was called for
next Sunday. The bids are a little
under $4,000, set as the limit for the
cost of the church, but it is claimed
that with the present bids the extra
expenses on the building will bring the
total cost of the church up to from
$4,000 to $4,000 and it is possible
that the congregation will decide not
to build a church at this time. The
new school which is now well under way
will have large auditorium which can
be used for church purposes until such
a time as the building as planned, can
be built within the estimate of the
committee.

Members of Modern Woodmen of
America Organize in Keno
sha County
TO PROMOTE WORK OF. ORDER
Eight Camps in the County United
With Alfred Fl. Simons as Lead
er and Richard Swenson as
Secretary and Treasurer

In connection with the great gather
ing of the members of the Modern
Woodmen Of America at the village
Of Salem OIL last Saturday night, steps
were, taken for the organization of a
Woodmen Is association of Kenosha
county and close union will be made
between the camps in the county for
the advancement of the order and for
the social enjoyment of its members.
Alfred Fl. Simons, who presided at
the Salem gathering, was named as
president of the new county association.
and Richard Swenson Of Salem was
elected secretary and treasurer. Each
Of the eight camps in the county will
elect member Of the Board of Direc-
tors and after these officials have been
chosen a meeting of the Board will be
called and a constitution and bylaws
adopted. It is planned to make the as
ISOLATION one of the most active organi-
cations among the fraternal societies
represented in this section of the state.
More than 500 members Of the order
were present when the association was
formed and all Of the Woodmen in the
county will be included in the list of
members. For years the Woodmen have
had their county camp, but it's meet
ings were limited to one in three years
and then only for the election Of dele
gates to the state camp and there has
been little chance for social inter
course among the members of the
order in the various parts of the county.
In addition to this the Pike Woods
Camp of Kenosha is to entertain the
state camp in 1911 and it is expected
that the association will aid material
ly in interesting all the Woodmen Of
the county in the entertainments that
are to be provided for the visitors.
The meeting at Salem was by all
measures the most successful ever held
by the Woodmen Of the county A
large class consisting of members from
nearly every camp in the order was
adopted by a team composed of the
officers of the various camps and after
the work was over the Salem camp act
ed as host at a banquet which proved
to be in the way Of an old-fashioned
experience meeting. Head officers of
the order were in attendance, but their
speeches were not nearly SO interesting
as the declarations Of good will brought
BY the members Of the Kenosha county
camps.
Most of the Kenosha Woodmen re-
turned home early Sunday morning, but
others remained at Salem as guests of
the Woodmen there until late Sunday
evening. Tt is probable that the new
association will arrange for several
other similar meetings before the close
Of the present year.

FLEET NOTES

Visitors came with a rush and a
crush to the battleships stationed at
San Pedro yesterday, street cars and
trains commencing the unloading of
passengers at an early hour. Every
body at once made a run for the
wharves, seeking for boats to take
them to the four ships and three aux
iliaries resting inside the breakwater.
Men whose duty it was to handle the
crowds were on hand at an early hour
and centered the throngs near the
great arch overlooking the inner har-
Dor, where two flights of stairs reach
ing to long and commodious barges
led to the waiting craft.
Almost 1000 persons were carried to
the battleships when q telephone mes
sage was received from the Connecti-
cut which, on account of its rank In
the fleet, was the objective point to
which all pleasure seekers wished to
go. This message stated that the fa-
cilities for handling the expected null
titude, indicated by the numerical
strength of the first arrivals, were too
meager, the narrow gangway being in
sufficient to take on board the passen-
gers as they reached the ships. Barges
for the accommodation of those who
would be compelled to await an OPP
portunity to mount the narrow stair
way were called for, and these were
furnished, two for each ship.

GIRLS PRANK NEARLY
COSTS SOLDIERS LIFE

Nattily attired in his uniform of blue
with the letters "R. s." indicating that
he belonged to the recruiting service,
a soldier stood upon the forward part
of careening launch yesterday after
noon as the little craft plowed it's way
through the bay waters of San Pedro
toward the Connecticut. In front of
the soldier stood a girl, also nattily
dressed, a broad golden-lettered band
decorating the wide -brimmed hat and
her bosom a rainbow of colored souve-
Mrs.
"Oh 1 wish you'd stop talking like
that!" said the girl placing her hand
playfully yet forcibly upon his man
ly chest.
He was not a sailor and the little
deck was not as stable as the dress
parade ground. AS a natural result he
fell and the receptive waters closed
over him. Two other boats were quick
to the rescue and as the mans head
rose to the surface he was grasped
and fast run was made to the wharf,
where first aid to the drowning was
administered by bluejackets from the
Vermont.
The soldier was taken to the emer-
gency hospital, where he gave his name
as Walter d. Pravatt. on recruiting
duty in Los Angeles under command of
Captain Graves of the Twentieth in
fantry. No serious results followed the
accident.
