Great Gangs Of Men at Work in.
Ice Fields in Kenosha County
Return to Chicago
ONE FATALITY MARS WORK
Crop of Ice Said TO Be the Finest
Ever Put Up in the Lakes of Keno
sha County-New Houses
To Go Up Next Year


The ice harvest in Kenosha county
came to close on Monday afternoon
and this morning great throngs Of men
are going through Kenosha towards
Chicago.
1t seems that the number of men en-
ployed this year was not as large as
in former years, as the trains from the
west this morning carried only two
extra cars. 1t is claimed that there
have been more than two thousand men
employed in the harvest in this county
but the ice has been of such fine quality
that some of the big companies com
pleted the work of harvesting the crop
a week ago and the men were turned
loose at that time. It is expected that
the usual large number of these men will
be left in the county. Some Of them
are seeking places as farm laborers
while others have come into Kenosha
and will probably remain here for the
people of the city to support until the
opening of the grain cutting season in
the northwest.
Reports from the ice cutting districts
Indicate that the crop for this year is
in every way the equal Of the crop. cut
last year which at the time was con-
sidered the best ever cut in the county
Nearly every house in the county has
been filed to it's capacity and hundreds
of thousands of tons of ice have been

cities. The ice cutting season in this
county passed with a single fatality
this year and this record is considered
as rather a remarkable one The only
life lost during the season was that Of
the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Evans who was drowned in one of the
small lakes near Trevor by falling into
a hole left by ice cutters. Last year
there were three fatalities as a result
Of the annual ice harvest and in former
years the loss of life had been even
greater. A man by the name Of Miller
who is supposed to have been resident
Of Milwaukee was badly hurt by being
struck by train the latter part Of last

Chicago and it is feared that his in
juries will result fatally.
There IS one thing certain and that
is that there will be no cause for an
ice famine during the coming season.
The ice is most plentiful and it is of
such fine quality that the big companies
will be able to handle it TO an advan-
tage. The Independent Company of
Kenosha flied it's large house on Lake
Mary with the best ice cut during the
season All OF this ice is as clear as
a crystal and Of a thickness Of nearly
twenty inches.
The success Of the ice cutting season
in this county has been so great this
| year that several Of the big companies
are planning to erect new ice houses on
the inland lakes during the coming sum-
mer months 1t is stated that the
Knickerbocker Company will build a
new house at Camp Lake and possibly
at Hooker Lake while at least one new
house will go up at Powers Lake.

.Rumof Has 1t That Two Members
Of City Council Are Holding
Their Seats Illegally
TO QUESTION COUNCILS ACTS
Litigants Will Seek To Have Action
of Council Declared, Illegal On
Account of Votes of These
Members
(From Mondays Daily.)

An interesting rumor is going the
rounds in Kenosha today in regard to
the qualifications of some of the mem
bers Of the Common Council to hold
their places on that body and it is
claimed that there will be an action in
court to. test some Of the acts on the
Council on account of the fact that it
is alleged that two Of the members Of
the Council are not free holders. The
two men have been members Of the
Council for some time and they have
been decidedly active in the passage
of ordinances and other business in
which the vote Of the full council has
been demanded
The investigation of their right to
sit on the Council has been taken UP by
property owners interested in the street
railway legislation and it is alleged that
when the railway case is heardin the 5u-
preme Court that one of the chief ale
cations Of the people who are opposing
the franchise ordinance is that at least
two of the men who voted on the ques-
ton were not entitled to seats on the
Council on account Of the fact that they
were not free holders. The examina-
tions of the qualifications Of the alder
men have not been as strict as they
icro4 hox II
members of the Council have been al
lowed to take and retain their seatss9n
the Council without any direct investi-
cation Of their property rights. The
fact that the wife of an alderman holds
property according to the attorneys who
have been looking into the matter does
not give the husband the right to sit
on the Common Council The law is
very clear in this regard These men
have been on the council for several
terms and they have voted on nearly all
the important measures that have been
passed by the Council 1t is possible
that most Of these measures would have
been passed without their votes, but
the attorneys hold that the fact that
these men were unlaWfully holding the
office Of alderman and taking part in
the actions of the Council would invali-
date the actions Of the body regardless
of their own individual votes. It is
known that one of the men who is al
legged to be unqualified to sit on the
Council on account of the fact that he
does not hold property has voted against
many measures.
Prominent leaders Of the majority in
the Council have declared that if it can
be shown to them that these men are
holding their seats unlawfully immedi-
ate action will be taken to force the
men to leave the Council.
1t might be just as well for the peo-
pie to scrutinize the candidates now
coming up for Office and see to it that
none but tax payers are elected to of
fee. 1t is not probable that man who
has not interest enough in the city to
own his own home will have any great
interest in the affairs Of the city and
these are good men to defeat when the
primary comes around.

CONTEST FOR JUSTICE
Thomas Ryan Comes Out AS Candidate
For the Democratic Nomination
(From MONDAYS Daily

From Mondays Daily.)
There is to be another contest among
the Democracy of the city at the COM
ing primaries as this morning petitions
were placed in circulation for the nomi-
nation of Thomas Ryan as candidate
for the Democratic nomination for JUS
tice of the Peace. It is certain that
George B. McCarron will be candidate
for denomination. Mr.. Ryan was BORN
and raised in the First ward Of the city
and is widely known. The only Of
fetal position that he has held is that
Of dog catcher and he proved to be a
good man in that Office. It is expected
that the entrance of Ryan into the field
will bring about as good contest as
that between the Mayor and former
Alderman Scholey.
