VANGUARD HERE
Ice Cutters Pass Through Kenosha En-
route for the Lake Regions

Ice Cutters Pass Through Kenosha En-
route for the Lake Regions
The first sign of activity in the ice
cutting districts of the county was
seen this morning when the vanguard
of the big body Of men who will be
used in harvesting the crop on the Ke-
nosha county lakes passed through Ke-
noSha enroute to the lake districts.
The work of cutting and storing the
ice is planned to start on January first.
The men who went out this morning
were mostly foremen who viii be in
charge of the work of opening up the
boarding houses and getting them in
readiness for the coming of the big
body of workers.
1t is expected that nearly ten thous-
and men will be employed in the work
Of harvesting the ice crop in Kenosha
county this year and most Of these men
have been secured through the labor
agencies in Chicago. Other counties
are demanding a, rigid quarantine for
these men, but as yet the officials Of
this county have taken no steps to de-
mand such guarantees.

Building Of q City Prison

Not Prove a Paying Propo.
sition for the City

The joint committee Of the Common
Council and the County Board in
charge of the formulation of some plan
to take care of prisoners at the county
Jail, met at the Office Of City Attorney
John G. Slater on Wednesday evening
and as a result Of the meeting it has
been practically decided that the time
lis not ripe for the erection of a CITY
prison in Kenosha and for this reason
Iif the county is to continue to take
charge of city prisoners it will be
necessary for an addition to be built
to the jail The committee had many
figures before it showing just what the
city pays for the support Of prisoners
held by the sheriff and upon these
figures it was conclusively shown that
the city would not be any better off
financially by building lock up. A
lock up would take care of prisoners
while they were waiting a hearing in
the Justice Court, but all of the ordi-
nances Of the city provide that penal
ties must be served in the common
Jail Of Kenosha county" and it would
be hard matter to amend all of these
ordinances in order to have the penal
ties served in a city prison. In addi-
tion to this the committee considered
the fact that the city had no funds to
build a prison and further that the
large proportion of the cost of adding
to the Jail would be paid by the city.
/ The assessment for this addition to the
jail has already been made on the tax
able property Of the city and there is
no reason why the city should make a
double charge on the people by making
another large appropriation for pri-
| son.
Henry Jordan, the chairman Of the
committee named from the County
Board, in speaking Of the matter this
morning said: ''It is evident that there
is no tendency on the part Of the Com
mon Council to take any steps to build
a city prison at this time and it is just
as evident that something will have to
be done to enlarge the jail. The com
mittee is getting figures now for this
work and we expect to be able to pres
ent them to the County Board at the
January session.
The County Board has raised by tax
alton $4,000 to provide for the enlarge
ment of the Jail and the COMMITTEES
believes that this will be sufficient for
the completion of the work. The ur-
gent demand for changes made by the
State Board of Control will probably
lead the members of the County Board
to an early action. Attorney Slater
acting for the city and District Attor-
Iney R " Baker, working for the coun-
ty will get together and frame up a
report to be sent to the two bodies be
fore the January meeting, but it is
pretty certain that this report will
make no recommendations not agreed
on by the committee at the meeting on
Wednesday evening.

the guest Of honor at very interesting
little ceremony at the police office on
the night before Christmas and Santa
Claus in the person Of the Veteran AS
sistant Chief Joseph G. Newhouse pre-
sented the chief with a splendid Elks
emblem It was an Elxs tooth charm
set with four diamonds. In presenting
the charm Officer Newhouse voiced the
sentiments Of the entire force telling
the chief that he was held in highest
esteem among the members Of the
force. AS the chief rode the Elks goat
only few weeks ago the gift was a
most appropriate one. The charm came
as complete surprise to the chief, but
he finally managed to make a short
speech in which he accepted the pres
ent. The evening proved a jolly one
for after the prosecution the officers
gave a clever musical and vaudeville
entertainment.
Chief Isermann Of the fire depart
ment was not forgotten in the distri-
button of Elks emblems as during the
afternoon Santa. Claus Ben Windsor

sented the chief with a handsome

anted when the fire took place There
was no fire in the house at the time.

MATTERS IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Denll Asks Injunction in New Theater
Custer Proceedings.

Denll Asks Injunction in New TheRter
Custer Proceedings.
At the instance of the A. b. Beall Theater
company Judge Macy of the district court
yesterday issued a temporary injunction
restraining w. A. Maurer, trustee, from
proceeding with a forcible entry and de-
tainer action in the court of Justice S. A.
Greene. The action in Justice Greene's
court was brought by Maurer, as trustee OF
the Dohany estate, to dispossess the Beall
company of the occupancy of the New
theater in this city.
In its petition for the restraining order
the Beall company alleges that in July
Of this year, after a notice to quit and Of
cancellation of the lease had been served
on it, an oral agreement was reached
whereby the company was to pay $500 on
the rent of the theater building when Man
ager \. b. Beall should return from Sioux
City and the balance In ninety days. Ger
tain matters of controversy, principally
over repairs to the theater, were to be
amicably settled, tlh company also alleges.
This agreement, however, the company al
leges, has been repudiated by Maurer, who
has brought an action Of forcibly entry
and detsiner.
The company states that it has expended
PftVNv III lubl uNtllltHlS u tic IledleI ana
in advertising, thereby adding considera-
BILE value to the property. The company
asks also. for an order requiring Trustee
Maurer to accept the $500 on the rent and
to continue the lease on the building which,
Ut is stated, was made in June, 1907. The
company also asks that Trustee Maurer
be ordered by the court to pay IL $1,000
as damages.
