Farmers in Town Of Bristol Ex,
press Desire TO Give Right
Of Way for a Line West
WOULD RAISE LAND VALUES
One Farmer Secures Free Right Of Way
For Distance of Three Miles and
Declares that the Remainder
Can Be Secured

Farmers in the town of Bristol and
other parts of Kenosha county are
anxious to see a revival of the plan
of building an electric railway from
Kenosha to the western end of the
county and one Of the best known
farmers in the town Of Bristol today
stated that the farmers in that town
would be glad to meet any company
half way which would provide for the
building and operation of such line.
1t is claimed that the sentiment in
the town of Salem and in other west
ern towns is even more pronOuncedly
in favor of the coming Of the railway.
One of the farmers from Bristol when
seen today stated that last summer he
had taken up the matter with his
neighbors and that just in order to see
what the sentiment was he had made a
trip over three miles of the proposed
route of the road with the idea of
finding the opinion of the land owners
and chat every one of them had stated
that they would give a right Of way
for road without any expense to the
company The farmer stated that in
the opinion Of his neighbors the value
of farm land would be increased from
fifteen to twenty dollars an acre by
the building Of a road which would
connect that portion of the county with
the county seat
Al the present time the farmers
along the route which has been propos-
ed for the road under the proposition
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Com
pany are forced to go miles to rail
way station and in weather like the
present these trips are almost an i'm
possibility. 1t is claimed that Bristol
is now sending nearly hundred young
boys and girls to Kenosha every day
to attend school and that most Of this
traffic could be secured by an electric
railway. The action Of the Northwest.
ern company III taking off trains on
the western division of the road has
furthered the desire of the farmers for
the coming of an electric line and there
is every reason to believe that should
some company strike out for such a
line at this time or in the early spring
it would be an easy matter to get the
right Of way and it is just possible that
q right of way could be secured to the
western limits Of the county without
the expenditure of cent for right of
way. 1t will be an impossibility fol-
the Frost Company to take up this
project at this time on account Of the
troubles brought on by the receivershit
but it is thought that some other com
Pany may see the opportunity and
make some arrangement for the build
ing Of the road

The Modern Woodmen of Kenosha
are planning to boom the city in all
parts Of the state in connection with
the effort that is being made to have
the State Camp of the organization meet
here in 1911 and to this end the com
mittee in charge of the work Of Sc
curing the state meeting for Kenosha

esting little booklet setting up the
claims of Kenosha as a convention
city. The booklet which will have
wide circulation among the members
OF the order in the state will contain
pictures Of many of the important
buildings in the city and some Of the
many points Of interest. The State
Camp was held in Superior in 1904, is
to be held at Wausau this year and
the Kenosha boomers claim that Keno

NEW SUIT AGAINST FROST
Canadian Woman Brings Suit Against the
Firm of A. c. Frost s Co., Brokers

Firm of A. c. Frost s Co., Brokers
Another receivership proceeding has
been added to the long list pending
against A. c. Frost and his various
corporations.
Frost, himself, under his firm
name of A. c. Frost & Co., is the de-
PENDANT in the newest bill which was
filed in the United States Circuit Court
at Chicago by Mrs. jamie E F.
Crowther of Hamilton, Ont, after she
secured a judgment against Frost for
$2,41.S7. An execution on this judg-
ment was returned unsatisfed, and then
she asked Judge Grosscup to appoint
George M. Seward as receiver for Frost.
This was done. Seward already was
receiver of this firm under previous ap-
pointment and the new suit, it is In
sisted, does not complicate the affairs
in any way.

H. Hamilton Must Sacrifice Years
Of Liberty on Account Of
His Love Of Liquor
VIOLATES PRISON PAROLE
Now Held in County Jail Here Awaiting
Coming of Iowa Officials Who
Return Him For Long
Term in Prison
(From Thursdays Daily. J

Because he priced his love Of liquor
more than his freedom I'll. Hamilton is
in the Kenosha County Jail awaiting the
coming of officials from the Iowa State
prison who will take him to that state
to serve term Of four and one half
years in the state prison. Hamilton
is a paroled man and the story in con
nection with his return to prison is
one of the most remarkable ever told
in Kenosha.
Hamilton is said to be a member Of a
we'll known family in Ireland Some
time ago Hamilton himself was veal
thy man but his fortune was dissipated
and he was arrested and convicted on
charge of forgery in Iowa and sentence
ed to a term of six years in prison.
Hamilton came to Kenosha some months
ago as ward of the Kenosha branch
of the Young Men S Christian Associa-
tion. While Hamilton was in prison
his story became known to Secretary
L. II Fox Of the Kenosha Y M. G.
A. and after an investigation it was
found that the penalty assessed against
sidering the conditions sunder which he
was arrested and Secretary Fox took the
matter up with the directors of the Y.
NJ. G. A. and then with their permits
sion asked Governor Cummings Of Iowa
to investigate the case and parole Ham
ilton to him. The Governor after a
complete investigation of the case
found that liquor had been the principal
cause of the downfall of Hamilton and
he issued the parole, one of the con-
siderations of it being that Hamilton
should abstain from the use Of intoxi-
cants until the end Of his parole. Ham
ilton had served a year and half when
the local men secured his release and he
came at once to Kenosha. He is a
man Of intellectual polish and he made
many friends at the Association build
ing. He served in the capacity of a
janitor at the building and for time
aid we'll, but the old desire for liquor
returned and he was some time ago
found in q state Of intoxication. The
officials Of the Association knowing the
temptation Of the man had overlooked
this slip of his parole.
4 few days ago he began drinking
again and at this time the Secretary of
the Association turned him over to the
custody of the officials of the city. Yes
terday afternoon he went to the county
Jail and told Hamilton that he had
telegraphed the Iowa officials and it is
understood that they are now on their
way to Kenosha to secure Hamilton
and return him TO prison. Hamilton
who is man of finer sensibilities is
completely crushed but he admits the
justice of the action as he was well
aware Of the conditions Of his parole
It is probable that this violation of the
parole will result. in the man being fore
ed to serve all Of the unexpired term
When taken to the jail Hamilton was
registered under the name of John John
son but it was soon learned that he was
Hamilton.

AlschuIer Block in Belle City
Gutted by Flames With Loss
of Over $4,000
FIVE FlREMEN ARE INJURED
Fire Fighters Caught BY Falling Wall
and One of Them May Die From
Injuries-Big Mercantile Com
panies Hard Hit by Fire
(From Thursdays Daily. J

One of the most disastrous fires ever
known in the city of Racine brokes out
just before four o'clock this morning
and before the flames had been extin-
guished the Alschuler Block, one of the
largest business blocks in the Belle City
had been practically wiped out and a
half dozen of the tenants of the block
sustained heavy losses. The loss from
the fire is placed at $4,000 practically
covered by insurance. During the fight
against the flames, five well known
members of the Racine fire department
were badly injured. The injured were.
J. Bruce, ribs broken and internally
injured. Thought to be fatally hurt.
Captain John Didisch, cut and badly
bruised.
Peter Joachim, three ribs broken and
injured internally. Injuries very seri-
Gus.
j. Scripple, legs injured.
George Genesta, badly cut and bruised
The fire men all met their injuries
while working on ladders on the south
side Of the Aschuler building. The wall
weakened by the advance of the flames
fell with crash and the fremen had
no chance to leave the ladder. All Of
the men except Bruce were thrown out
side Of the building but Bruce fell into
the burning building. Bruce managed
to escape from the building without
aid Of his fellow fremen.
The fire broke out in the Dan and
Sol Clothing store and the cause of
it has not as yet been discovered. The
flames threatened other buildings in the
neighborhood but it was confined to
the one building and was under control
shortly after ten o'clock. The news of
the big fire was brought to Kenosha
early this morning and many Kenosha
people went up to Racine to aid in
fighting the flames.
When the fire was discov cred in the
big clothing store it had a good head
way and it spread rapidly to all parts
of the big building. The loss on the
building is placed at $4,000 but this
was nearly as large as the loss on the
various stocks in the burned buildings
and the surrounding.
The list of the losses was given out
at noon as follows:
Alschuler Block .................... $50, 00C
Dan and Sol, clothiers ............ q, ooC
The Racine Club ................... 5000
The Harbridge Company, damage by
water .................... ...... 1000
Other tenants Of Aschuler Block. =. 10000
The Dan and Sol store was completely
wiped out by the fire and other firms
doing business in the block had their
places Quilted by the flames.

SHOW HEAVY GAINS
Insurance Fees Paid to the State
Show That Business of Com
panies Has Increased
SOME HAD HEAVY LOSSES

Within the present month the fire
insurance companies operating within
the state will have fled their annual
statements with the insurance depart
ment, and from the present indications
the fees will have increased from 1884,,
900 last year to over 100000. Barring
the loses sustained by the companies in
the San Francisco disaster, the reports
at present indicate that the losses in
the state during the past year were less
than the year before. There are about
200 stock fire insurance companies
which report to the department and
tWenty-nine companies Of foreign coun-
tries. There are about $50 town and
village mutual companies, but these are
not required to pay a fee to the state,
because they are organized under diff
ferent law than the stock companies.
The fire insurance companies operat
ing in the state make q report to the
first of January each year and secure a
License upon payment of their taxes in
February. Over 100 Of the stock com
panies have licenses, and the others will
receive their permits within a week, as
soon as the commissioner Of insurance
can examine the statements of the com
panies. Just twenty Of the twenty-nine
fire insurance companies from foreign
countries have filed.
Under the law Of the state is that if
the company has heavy losses the tax
Of the state is oportionately lower and
there are several companies which had
such heavy losses his year, they were
required to pay no tax at all. Most of
the 200 companies pay a larger tax this
year than last year. There are nine
companies from Wisconsin that operate
and pay fee on the gross premiums Of
the fire insurance.

MES and the fees paid last year and
this year follow:
