Unknown Burglars Enter Meat
Market OF BeacheI & Evans
Early on Thursday
NO CLUE TO GUILTY PARTIES
Men Are Supposed to Have Attempted
to Enter the Halberstadt Bakery
but Were Frightened
Away by Officers

The band of Kenosha burglars got
busy again Wednesday night and evil
IDENTIFY planned to rob several places on
the west side, but they only made good
at one place. The meat market Of
Beachel and Evans on West Main
street was entered and the men man
aged to get away with about five dol
lars in change. An effort was made to
force an entrance into the Halberstadt
bakery but it is supposed that the
burglars were frightened away.
The burglary at the market was
similar to the burglary committed at
the Petersen saloon on Main street
several weeks ago and it is evident
that the guilty parties had closely
watched the night Waterman in the
territory and had kept close tab on the
police officer on the depot beat. It is
thought that the entrance to the mar
clock. The back door of the place
was broken open and once inside the
building the men made short work of
it. The money secured was in the cash
drawer which was forced open with a
chisel. The men evidently left the
building by the same door and no trace
of them has as yet been found. The
fact that the place had been burglar
lied was discovered at three O'Clock
by Merchant Police Officer Hansen and
he at once notified the police office
and every available man was sent out
| to look for suspects. Not single per-
son was found in the neighborhood of
the robbed market. It is thought pos
sible that the men left the Beache]
market and went to the Halberstadt
bakery and that they were engaged in
forcing the rear door Of the bakery
when the night Waterman discovered
the other burglary and that while the
officials were being notified the men
escaped.
For several days there have been a
number Of tramps loafng about West
Main street and that section Of the
city and it is thought that these men
may have been connected with the rob
berry. No trace Of any of them could
be found this morning and it is thought
that they managed to get out Of the
city on a way freight soon after the
burglary. Chief O'Hare has notified
officials in surrounding cities to look
out for suspects, but the fact that there
is no description of the man or men
and no working clue, will make it a
very hard matter for the officials tt
locate and arrest them.
The west side seems to be a favorite
place for the work of burglars and this
is the fourth burglary reported from
that part Of the city since the first OF
April. The police force are watching
band of boys who have been about
that portion of the city and who have
no visible means of support and it is
thought possible that they may know
something about the various robberies

"A BIT OF HISTORY
Kenosha People Identified With Early
Beginnings Of Great Company

A very interesting history has just
been published by The Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Milwaukee on the occasion Of it's semi
centennial.
The publication is Of especial inter
est to Kenosha people from the fact
that It's makes mention of several prom
inent Kenosha pioneers closely identi-
fed with the early formation and de-
velopment of this company which was
organized in 1858 as a purely mutual
company without capital stock or
money and has grown to be one Of the
largest and best life companies in this
county having at present over $685.

Quoting we find ION March II, 1862

John g. MCKINLEY the principal of
schools at Kenosha and subsequently
superintendent of agencies of the com

cessful solicitor and a fine executor,
his administration Of the agency de-

and productive"

MUST PAY DAMAGES
Pos Office Department Gets After
the Railway Mail Clerks for
Destruction of Mail
MANY COMPLAINTS RECEIVED

Railway mail clerks throughout the
country are greatly alarmed over an
announcement by the Postofice De-
partment to the effect that they will be
held responsible for all damages to per-
sons and property caused by careless
delivery Of mail at catch stations.
The notice is coupled with the account
of a damage case recently tried by a
jury in Ohio and in which the mail
clerk compromised by paying damages
amounting to $500. The department.
declares that not only are the railroads
going to hold the mail clerks response
BILE, but that the department will, in
addition, assess fine for violation Of
the rules for handling pouches when
thrown off of moving trains. The mail
clerks declare that the effort to hold
them responsible is unfair because the
government has been criminally slow
in providing a safe means Of delivery Of
mail from number Of devices on the
market which make it perfectly safe
ITO throw mail pouch off train go
ing at almost any rate of speed.
| A number of these devices have been
tested by the government, and one or
! two of them have been found to be
efficient. Despite this fact, the govern
1uent delays in providing such facilities,
choosing rather to stand the risk of
loss of mails and damage to persons
and property. The official order Of the
railway mail clerks, therefore, petition
the department to take speedy action
toward providing safe mail catch.
Whether it is in answer to this petit
tlon or not is not known, but commit
tee appointed by the department. was
in Chicago yesterday looking into the
subject. It is understood that several
tests are to be made of devices for re-
eeiying mail pouches from moving
trains and that some device will soon
be adopted ard installed by the depart
ment. The department. notice to the
clerks contains the following:
The number Of cases reported lately
wherein persons have been injured
while standing on depot platforms by
mail thrown from moving trains renders
it necessary to take some decisive action
in conformity with the instructions in
regard to delivering mails at catch sta
tions.
Hereafter every case wherein persons
are injured by mails thrown from NOV
ling trains will be rigidly investigated
land the clerk who delivered the pouch
held strictly responsible.
| There should be a place designated
| at each station for the delivery Of the
mails, and the clerk charged with TIE
responsibility Of attending the door
should see to it that the mail is de-
| llvered at that point and nowhere else
/ The usual excuse that the clerk did the
best he could will not be accepted IN
cases where the instructions are not
complied with and persons thereby in.
jured.
Several railroad companies have ex
pressed the intention Of taking Legal
means to have the clerk responsible
for the damage joined with the com
rany in all suits brought against the
company by persons injured by care

The New Primary Law Is Stun

Place on Ballot Will Probably Count
More With Candidates for judi
ciaI Offices Than Any Other.

Seattle, July 9.-(Special Correspond
ence. "A letter sent to the secretary OF
state by candidate for county office in
Stevens county reveals how little the
average voter knows about the urinary
election law. This candidate requested
the secretary OF state to send him
enough pamphlet copies of the law to
give one 70 every voter in the county.
He said he had seen and talked with
300 voters and not 70 per cent of them
understood the provisions Of the law.
The Legislature did not provide sui
hcient number 0t.cOpies for the secretary
OF state to give one TO every voter, and
all that could be spared to the Stevens
county candidate was so copies.
For the voters in general there are
but few things to remember. The bal
lOting will be much the same az al apy
general election, but the elector must
designate which ballot be, desires to vote,
the several political parties having
separate ballots. He makes his choice
of candidates by the usual "X'' mark in
square following the name of the
candidate.
The second choice provision Of the
primary election law is perhaps the least
understood. Where there are four or
more candidates for any state or con
gressional office, the voter must desig.
nate both first and second choice for
the office. He cannot vote for the same
man Tor both first and second choice and
if he neglects to vote for second choice
his first choice vote will not be counted
or If he votes for only a second choice,
that vote will not be counted. The sec.
ond choice provision does not apply to
judges OF the supreme or superior courts,
nor to county or legislative offices.
In Line to File.
Candidates for state and cOngressi0n.
al offices who desire first place on the
primary election ballot put representa-
tives in line at the door of the secretary
Of states office on the afternoon Of July
2. Six boys formed in line on that day
and before the end OF the week more than
a score OF boys were in the line.
The formation OF the line followed i'm
mediately after the announcement by
the secretary of state that places on the
ticket would not be chosen by lot. but
by the order in which declarations OF
candidacy were received. Mr.. Nichols
also made the rule that one person could
file but one declaration.
