Two Men Injured in Collapse Of
Building at Chicago Brass
Demand Big Damages
CLAIM FIRM WAS NEGLIGENT
Albert Johnson and John Mansforth
Each Bring Action for $4,000
Damages Against the Company
for Injuries Received

AS result of the injury of two men
il the collapse of a building under con-
struction at the plant of the Chicago
Brass Works in October of last year,
Attorney Calvin Stewart Of this city
and Attorney Wallace ingalls, of Ra
cine, have filed two suits against the
company demanding damages for per
sonal injuries in the sum of $4,000.
The plaintiffs in the two suits are AL
bert Johnson and John Mensforth.
10th OF the men were employed as ma
sons on the new building and both
were injured when portion Of the
building collapsed on October 2, 1907.
Mensforth who was Sc years Of age
at the time Of the accident was so
seriously injured that in the complaint
it is alleged that he has never been
able to work at his trade at which he
was capable Of earning hundred dol
lars month and he is now working as
gate tender at the plant Of the de-
PENDANT company. Johnson is making
an effort to follow his trade, but the
complaint alleges that he was perma-
nently injured and that he will never
be able to follow his trade as a first
class mason on account of the fact that
he has practically been deprived of the
use of his left arm.
At the time of the collapse of the
portion Of the building, the two men
were at work on the top Of the wall and
they were buried under the great mass
of brick and mortar. At the time 1t
was not thought that Mensforth was
seriously injured, but Johnson had six
ribs broken, had his left arm broken at
the elbow and his left wrist fractured
For some time it was feared that he
would not survive his injuries. It is
claimed that the company was to blame
for the accident on account of the fact
that the building was of faulty con
struction. The complaint claims that
steel work in the building had been
set up in an improper manner and that
the men in charge of the construction
had attempted to remedy this defect by
building the brick about the defect and
that this effort was the real cause OF
the collapse of the brick work.
Both Of the plaintiffs in the suits arc
well known among the brick masons oil
Kenosha and considerable interest is be-
ing taken in the two suits. It is ex
pected that they will come up for tria
at the coming September term Of the
Circuit Court. This is the third actor
ICf a similar nature to be brought
against the Brass Company this sum
mer and the attorneys for the company
I. will be busy during the coming tern
of the court.

Insurance Agent Sued for Divorce
by Wife Files a Sizzling An
swsr in Circuit Court
CLAIMS WIFE ASSAULTED HIM
Husband Declares That His Wife Re
peatedly Threatened to Kill Herself
in Manner to Throw Blame
of Death on Him

The September term of the Circuit
Court for kenosha is to see an anusu-
al thing in the way of divorce cases.
For several terms the divorce business
OF the court has been practically limit
ed to cases where there have been no
contests to the charges brought by the
plaintiff, but John Noble, y Insurance
agent who was recently sued for divorce
by his wife Pearl Noble, W.o aaeget
cruel and inhuman treatment has come
back with q 5 zzIaag answer which says
care the domest. q troubles Of the Noble
family and gives indication OF soase-
thing sensational when the case conos
for trial In his answer Noble admits
that he was married to his wife as
she alleges in the complaint but after
this there is variance in their state
ments. The husband demands the
custody Of the one son of the couple
and that the complaint Of the wife be
dismissed and the divorce granted to
him and that he recover the costs Of the
action. The answer in the case which
is filed by Attorneys Randall and Drury
IS decidedly sensational. The husband
asserts that the wife is not a fit person
to have the custody Of the child and
asserts that for the past three years
| the wife has practiced a course of cruel
and inhuman treatment toward him
which is unbearable. He alleges that
she repeatedly struck him with her
fists, knives, dishes, stove-pOkers and
other household articles, called him vile
names and used abusive language to-
ward him. He declares that in the
month of April the wife attacked him
with broom and beat him over the
mead and shoulders until she was ex-
hausted through her efforts Noble de-
clares that his wife had repeatedly
threatened to take his life and had re-
peatedly declared that she would CLAY
for him - and when the defendant was
sleeping would smash him over the head
with a fiat iron. The husband alleges
that the wife repeatedly threatened to
"make way with herself" and would
commit suicide in such manner as
| Wou1u 1OoO JIG p6opl6 W UG16N6 GutSG
the husband had caused her death. He
alleges that the woman kept a bottle
of chloroform in the house for the sole
purpose of causing him worry and fear.
After setting forth these rather ex-
citing experiences the husband charges
the wife with Willful desertion.
The case is expected to come up for
trial at the September term OF the
court and it is thought that it will be
one Of the most interesting divorce
actions ever heard in the county. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble have resided in
Kenosha for several years and they are
we'll known. The sensational answer
Of the husband came as a great sur
prise to the friends of the couple who
were Of the opinion that the divorce
would be settled without a contest.

w. W. WinchelI Of WIlmot, Saves
Mrs. Albert Schennlng and
Child From Death
RISKS LIFE IN A MILL POND
Woman and Child Were Sinking for
the Last Time When Winchell
Leaped Into the Pond and
Brought Them out Exhausted

w. w. Winchell Of the village OF
Wilmot, is receiving the plaudits of the
people of that village and the surround
ing territory today on account OF his
bravery in rescuing two people from
death by drowning in the mill pond
at Wilmot on Friday morning. Mr.
Winchell IS past so years of age, but
notwithstanding this fact he outstrip-
ped all Of the younger people Of the
village in the daring rescue OF the
drowning woman and her baby and he
is now very much of hero
The little incident, which brought
the laurel wreath to the head OF the
aged Wilmot resident, occurred on Fri
day morning. Albert Schenning Of Fox
River, had made trip along Fox River
to the Lotus beds at Grass Lake. With
HIM were his wife, his daughter and his
little grandson. On the return trip
they got the launch just above the
dam at Wilmot and had showed out into
the waters of the mill pond. The little
hey had been placed in the front or
the launch and Mrs. Schenning climbed
i'll next. The boat was little shaky
and as Mrs. Schenning walked to the
front end Of it she retained her balance
with difficulty. Mrs. Schenning picked
up the child and just as she went to sit
down on one of the little seats of the
launch her husband climbed into the
other end of the boat. The boat lurch-
ed and Mrs. Schenning and the child
plunged head first into the deep waters
of the mill pond. There was a number
of people on the banks of the pond and
they were terror stricken when they
saw the woman drifting away from the
boat She held the child firmly in her
arms as she went down for the second
time and it looked certain that both of
them would be drowned. Young men
stood along the bank wringing their
hands and crying for help and it was
lust about this time that Mr.. Winchell
the patriarch of the village, arrived on
the scene. Without waiting to consid-
er his age or the depth of the water
Winchell leaped into the pond and
started to swim to the rescue Of Mrs
Schenning and the child. At the first
leap he got hold of the bonnet worn by
the woman, but it slipped from her head
and she and the child went down a
second time. Winchell dipped head
first under the water and managed to
get hold of the dress of the woman
and by this time others on shore had
leaped into the pond to aid the aged
rescuer. Mrs. Schenning still held tht
child fast in her arms and with the aiC
of the other people Winchell managed
to drag them to shore. Both Mrs
Schenning and the boy were unconsci
Gus, but they were soon resuscitated by
bystanders anu taken to the home Of
people living in the neighborhood where
they were furnished with dry clothing

Former Pastor Of Danish Lutheran
Church Here Dies Suddenly
at Cedar Falls, Iowa
DEATH COMES UNEXPECTEDLY
Announcement of the Death of Well
Loved Minister Causes Great
Sorrow Among the Danish
Lutherans of the City

kilograms have been received in Ke-
ncsha announcing the death of the Rev.
Christian Hansen, former pastor Of the
Danish Lutheran church in this city,
which occurred on Thursday at Cedar
Falls, Iowa. No details of the death
than the announcement that he died
very suddenly. The funeral will take
place at Elkhorn, Iowa, tomorrow.
Mr.. Hansen was one of the best
known Of the younger ministers Of the
Danish Lutheran church in the middle
west. He was about thirty-five years
Of age and had been in the ministry
for the past ten years. He came to
the Kenosha church some four years
ago and remained here until the call
came from the Iowa church, little
over a year ago. The trustees of the
kenosha church reluctantly granted
the minister a release that he might go
to Iowa.
At the time ofvhis death Mr.. Hansen
Lad gone to- Cedar Falls to be near his
wife who was in a hospital in that
city. She had been operated on several
times and had asked to have her hus-
band near her. Mrs. Hansen IS very
i'll and it is feared that the shock of
her husband IS death will be hard
blow to her. The deceased Minister is
survived by his widow and two small
children. The widow was formerly a
Miss Auldsen Of Cedar Falls, and she
and her children are now at the home
of her parents.
Mr.. Hansen had rapidly assumed a
place in the affairs of Cedar Falls, al
though he was preaching at the church
near Elhhorn. He was only recently
elected a member Of the Board Of Edu-
cation at Cedar Falls.
During his pastorate at the Kenosha
church Mr.. Hansen gained many
friends in Kenosha not only among his
rarishioners, but among the people Of
the city in general. While in Kenosha
Mr.. Hansen took a great interest In
all movements for reform in the city
and he was one Of the founders Of the
Kenosha Civic Federation and during
his residence in the city he was most
active in the work Of the Federation
Since leaving Kenosha he had written
many letters urging the people of his
former church to do what they could
to aid the movements for a cleaner
Kenosha.
Although Mr.. Hansen was yet q
young man he held an enviable place
i'll the ministry of the church of his
adoption and he was considered one OF
the leading ministers in the denomina
ton. He had received calls to several
churches in large cities during the past
year, but he had declined them declar
ing that he desired to be near the home
OF his wife S parents during her serious
illness.

account of a blaze in summer kitchen
in the rear of the property of Frank
Sautargas at the corner of Lemon and
