FIGHT GRASS FIRES
Property to the North and West seri
ously Threatened by Grass Fires

| Kenosha was threatened on the
north and west by grass fires on Mon
day afternoon and the combined eff
forts Of more than two hundred people
were required to prevent serious dam
age being done by the fires. Both Of
the nres ragged for several hours and
fortunately no serious damage was
done. The first Of the fires broke out
in the dry grass just west of the resi-
dence Of Col Carruth on Milwaukee
avenue and for more than an hour a
hundred and fifty men and boys fought
the flames in order to save the build
| ings on the Carruth homestead The
fire department. was called and used
tanks of chemicals on the fire but they
could moi reach the flames with the
hose as the property is beyond the
limits of the city. Several times dur
ing the fight of an hour and half it
looked as if the Carruth barns would
catch re, but no serious loss is re-
ported. The fremen had no more than
returned to the engine houses when
they were called out again by a fire
which threatened to destroy all of the
barns and other buildings in the neigh
borhood Of the Balm race tracks. Here
the fire had been started by boys.
Fortunately the buildings were saved,
but large tract was burned over and
several fences destroyed. Last night
the department was called out on ac-
count Of the burning of shed near the
Dunnebacke elevator on Market street.
This fire is supposed to have originated
from a bonfire set by boys in the
lneighborhood.
Chief Isermann today issued an or
der to the fremen to demand that peo-
pie starting fires in their yards shall
see that they are properly extinguished
at night fall.

Youthful Fire Bug Made an Effort
TO Burn Yards Of the BAN
Wagon Co. tuesday
WANTED TO SEE SMOKE FLY
BERTHE shales Eleven Years old Admits
Setting Fire to Lumber Just for
the Fun Of Inlay Go to
the Reform School

Because he wanted to see the smoke
BERTHE Shades, age II years, and the
son Of saloon porter, set fire to a
great pile of lumber in the Balm Wagon
company's Jumper yard just after three
0 clock Tuesday afternoon and the
plant had narrow escape from being
destroyed. By some good fortune the
smoke from the burning lumber was
discovered by one of the employees Of
the company and the flames were ex-
tinguished before they could spread to
other portions of-the big plant It was
fortunate that the young fire bug did
not pick pile of dry lumber under
which to set the fire for had he started
the blaze under seasoned lumber it is
probable that it would have been i'm
possible to have stopped the flames
without heavy loss The little fellow
who started the fire is an enigma to the
police force and while he will probably
be sent to the reform school he is such
a bright little fellow that his case has
attracted considerable sympathy. The
boy lives on Pearl street only a few
steps from the lumber yards of the
Balm company and just before three
| o7clock he went over into the yards
J and finding an old tin pan he went to
lone of the cars standing on the side
track and removed the packing from
the box of the car Wheels He placed
this oil soaked packing in the pan and
placed it under the lumber pile that
he had selected fer the celebration
Then he covered it over with hay and
shaVings so that there would be no
doubt as to the result After he had
| lighted the fire he ran away from the
lumber yard and went over and stood
in front of the eng ne house as he put
it later HFto see the horses run. E..
G, Tmme, who lives just west Of the
BAN lumber yards, noticed the smoke
and called the attention of one of the
workmen to the fact and he started a
search which ended in the discovery of
the. fire. 1T was blazing fercely, but a
number of men were summoned and
they successfully fought the flames.
All this time young Shales was stand
ing over by the engine house waiting
to see the horses run out. He was soon
picked up by Chief Isermann and taken
| to the police Office and at first he
strenobsly denied having anything TO
/ do with the setting of the fire, but
when the officials threatened him with
sending him to the reform school at
once he broke down and confessed tell
ing the whole story of the manner in
which the fire was started. This is the
third times that young Shales has been
ARRESTED by the police and they declare
that he should be taken care of by the
state. He was allowed to go to his
Ihome last night, but he returned to
the custody of the police this morning
and his case will be disposed of this
afternoon.

DECREE FOR WOMAN
Martha SchIeyer Granted Divorce
From Husband Now on Trial
for Attempted Murder


Regardless of the outcome of the
trial now on in the Circuit Court Mrs.
Martha Schleyer will no longer have
any relations with her former husband
Martin Schleyer as Tuesday Afternoon
Judge Belden in the Circuit Court took
time enough from the trial of the hus-
band who is charged with intent te
murder to grant a decree of divorce to
Mrs Schleyer. Schleyer made no CON
test to the grant of the decree this
time and a stipulation had been made
by the attorneys for the division Of
the property of the couple. In the
findings of the case which were signed
Immediately after the decree had been
granted by the court it is stated that
all of the allegations made in the orr
ginal complaint of Mrs. Schleyer are
proved true. She charged Schleyer
with cruel and inhuman treatment, de-
sertion and with being a habituaI
drunIard Schleyer was in court when
the case was heard, 1ut made no effort
to defend himself. He made a stats
ment in regard to the divorce stating
that he had decided that he would get
rid of all his relations in Kenosha and
that he hoped to be able to leave Ks-
nosha on New Years day and never re-
turn The settlement of the divorce
action was hurried by the receipt of 3
letter from Henry Schleyer, a brother
of Schleyer, in which he stated that
he had made arrangements for Scbleyer
to go into business in Brooklyn just as
soon as he was free from ENHANCEMENT
in the Circuit Court in Kenosha.
| Under the terms of the decree Mrs
Schleyer is given absolute title to all
property held by the couple in Kenoaha
on the payment of $500 to Schleyez-
This payment was made in the court
just after the decree was signed By the
Judge. Mrs. Schleyer is given the
custody OF che two minor children by
the decree.
The Schleyer divoce case was first
started in September of last year and
Mrs. Schleyer was given decree and
all the property of the couple. SehIey-
er was in the state of Washington as
the time and on his return he secured
a re-opening of the decree and himself
filed suit for divorce. This suit was
withdrawn on Tuesday with the con-
sent that the decree be granted to the
wife.

the tanning of trio Of bachelor girls,
