Otto Russell, Well Known in City,
Disappears After Breeding
Over Mind Readers Story
LAST SEEN WEDNESDAY MIGHT

Deputy sheriffs of Sheriff Pfennig S
Office and police officers Of the city, are
making vigorous search to find some
trace Of Otto Russell, rs years old, who
resides with his mother on Crate street
and who disappeared on Wednesday
afternoon under unusual circumstances.
The man s actions have been SO unus-
ual that his relatives and friends seem
to think that he is mentally deranged
and every possible effort is being made
to locate him. Some time ago Russell
went to Sc a mind-reader and was told
by the person that he would leave Ke-
nOsha in a short time and 60 to some
other city. This statement preyed on
his mind and it is claimed that for
some time he had felt that he must get
away from his home here. He left his
home at noon Wednesday with only
meagre clothing to protect him. His
mother saw him leave the house and
followed him for short distance, but
he discovered that the mother was fol
lowing him and started to run. It is
claimed that he was seen just after five
O. clock Wednesday evening running
north in the fields at point between
Racine and Kenosha and since that
time absolutely no trace Of him has
been found. Russell was employed at
the plant of the Thomas B. Jeffrey
company and was well known in the
city. Just short time before he left
Kenosha he had drawn SIG at the fac
tory and he is thought to be well sup
piled with money With the coming
of the cold weather on Wednesday
night and Thursday it is feared that
the missing man had fallen exhausted
in the fields. Men were sent out this
afternoon to work in the fields between
Racine and Kenosha in an effort to
find some further trace of the missing
man.

Annual Levy Made BY County
Board Demands Nearly $n0,-
600 For Coming Year
CITY GETS new RECORD TAX
Big Boost in County, State and County
School Taxes Puts Hard Task Up
to the Finance Committee
of the Council

The finance committee of the City
Council got body blow today when
the annual levy of the county taxes
was apportioned by County Clerk Rus
sell Jones and the city will have a
boost Of more than ten thousand dollars
over the amount paid for state and
county taxes last year. In fact the
entire county will have a good increase
in taxes this year and the levy which
was expected to be IL mills will be
FL mills; the largest known in the
county in some time. There has been
a general increase in the taxes of the
county in all departments, even the
soldiers relief fund being increased
over the past year. In addition there
is an appropriation Of approximately
$4,000 for repairs that are deemed nee
essary at the county Jail and a new
appropriation is made for the care of
the blind in the county.
The total taxes to be levied against
the property Of the county will be
$1O9,098.84. The principal items of the
levy are: for state tax, $48,885.06; for
county tax, $35,912.42; for county
schools, 0,849; for soldiers relief, 81,
710.11; for county superintendent
(evied against the property in the
towns Of the county, 81 400; for care
OF the blind, $342.
The county tax for the coming year
is just about the same as last year with
the exception of the added appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the possible improve
ment Of the county Jail. This will
probably be ordered spent at the Janu-
airy session of the Board. The commit
tee in charge Of the work Of making
the changes at the Jail will make a full
investigation before the second SEES
sion of the Board and it is thought
that the plans will be entirely complet-
ed at that time.
The city's portion of the state and
county tax this year is placed by the
county clerk at $63, 1858 Considering
the fact that there was practically no
state tax levied this year the amount
is abnormally high and the finance
committee OF the Council will have
hard scratching to make one per cent
levy cover all the taxes that are being
saddled on the city by the county and
state. The state taxes and he amount
demanded fer the support Of the schools
for the coming year will take more than
half Of a one per cent levy and the main
expenses of the city will have to come
out Of license fees collected by the city
in July of next year The financial
outlook for Kenosha during the com
ing year is none too good, but there
seems to be a determination on the
part Of the finance committee not to
F., recommend a levy of more than one
I per cent. 1t is certain that the people
of the city are not in any better posi-
ton to pay higher taxes this year than
they were lest year and for this reason
any effort to raise the levy over that
of last year will meet with bitter OPP
position from many of the members of
the Council The affairs of the city
must necessarily be run along very
economical lines during the coming
wear

MUST MAKE REPORTS MONTHLY
Makes a New Ruling in Regard to
Returns From Justice Courts

Justices Of the Peace in Kenosha
will in the future be required accord
ing to the ruling Of the district attor-
ney and the order of the County Board,
to file monthly reports of cases heard
in their courts. These reports are to
be fled with the county clerk. By this
new method it is thought that the long
reports Of the justices at the close Of
the year can be done away with With
the filing of the monthly reports they
will be referred to the district attor-
ney who will be thus able to check up
the various cases while they are still
fresh in his mind Tt is thought that
the new system will bring much better
results than the old plan Of making an
annual report The new plan is in
strict compliance with the laws of the
state.

George Albert Sought by Kenosha
Police for Wife Desertion Arrested

expected in connection with the trial
Of George Albert, a Kenosha man long
sought by the police who was arrested
in Chicago this morning and who is
being held at the 28th street station
there awaiting the coming Of Kenosha
officials. Albert has been wanted here
for wife abandonment for some time,
but his wife claims that he had a wife
living in Chicago at the time he mar
ried her in Kenosha and it is possible
that a more serious charge will be
brought against the man when he
reaches Kenosha. Chief O'Hare went
to Chicago this noon to get Albert and
it is thought that he will return with
the officer without 1equisition papers.
