IS TERRIBLY INJURED
{. Proctor Caught Under q Train
Near Northwestern Station
and Terribly MangIed
LEFT LEG is AMpuTATED

Edward Proctor, thirty-fye years of
age residing with his wife and children
at Ill Jay street was terribly injured
Inear the Northwestern station just af-
ter four o'clock Tuesday afternoon
when he attempted to board moving
train on the western division of the
road and was thrown under the wheels
Before the train could be stopped
several Of the trucks had passed over
the man S left leg and it was SO terri
bly, mangled that amputation above the
knee was necessary. The condition of
the injured man is very critical and it
is feared that he will not survive the
shock Of the accident.
Proctor had planned to go west on
the train, but when he reached the rail
way station the train was already pull
| ing out, but as it was moving slowly
Proctor evidently decided that he
could catch it. He managed to get
hold of the rail about the steps of the
car, but he slipped and was thrown vio-
! lently under the train. AS soon as pos
!, sible the train was stopped and the
man was picked up bruised and bleed
! ing. The accident was witnessed by
many people who were at the station
waiting for other trains and they turn
ed their faces away expecting to find
| that the man had been instantly killed.
The man was still conscious when he
was picked up by the train crew and an
ambulance was hurriedly summoned and
he was removed to the Kenosha Hospi-
| tai and DR.. III. A. Robinson, the surgeon
for the company, summoned to attend
| him.
It was found that the leg was so
badly crushed as to demand immediate
amputation. Proctor stood the opera
ton well but all night suffered in
tensely from the shock Of the accident
and this morning his condition was
most grave. The physicians in attend
ance declared that they were hopeful
Of the recovery Of the man.
Proctor is well known in Kenosha.
He is mason by trade and has been a
resident of the city for number of
years. His wife was Frustrated by the
news Of the terrible accident to her
husband.

JOHN w. MUNSON DEAD
Former Kenosha Man Who Sought Fran
chise for Electric Road Dead

Letters received in Kenosha this
morning announce that John w. Mum
son, a former resident Of this city and
man widely known among horsemen
of the country, died recently at his
home at Meadow Farm, Hampstead,
Long Island. Death was due to heart
disease from which the deceased had
been a sufferer for number of wears.
Mr.. Munson was famous as soldier
and as a horseman. He was on Colonel
Mosby's staff in the Civil War and af-
terward wrote an interesting. history
Of the life of the cavalry leader Many
years ago Mr.. Munson saw the value
of a franchise for an electric railway
in Kenosha and secured franchise for
a road but he could not make arrange
ments for financial backing and the
road was never built. Mr.. Munson left
Kenosha shortly after this time and he
has not since been resident of Keno
sha. The remains were inferred on
Long Island near the late residence of
the deceased.

THE STERLING, AMERICAN PLAY
"Ten Nights in Bar-room' Saturday
Matinee and Night

Francis Murphy, the great temper
ance advocate, once said that the good
cid play, "Ten Nights in Bar-room -
has done more for the temperance cause
than all the temperance lectures in the
world. It is drama that is at one
and the same time logically consistent
and legitimately sensational. It con-
tains a story that goes straight to the
heart and gets between the tears of
emotion and brings the glad smile of
happiness. The humorous situations
are crowded upon each other with a
profusion Of resource, yet are never al
lowed to break the steady development
of the story to It's well defined conclu-
sion. The character types are Of re-
freshing originality and there is pict-
uresque interest to the entire production
that is decidedly original and unique.
Ten Nights in Bar-room = comes to
the Rhode Saturday next for matinee
and night performances. DIV

CLAUSEN SLIPS THROUGH
Inability to Get New Warrant Results
In Former Promoter Getting Away

Gustav L. Clausen the Chicago rail
way promoter for whom warrant
charging bribery was issued in Keno
sha many years ago had narrow es-
cape from arrest on Tuesday afternoon
and the only thing that prevented his
being taken into custody was the fact
that District Attorney Baker was call
ed to Milwaukee on other business.
Clausen remained in Kenosha and at
the court House until late Tuesday af-
ternoon and when the district attorney
was called to Milwaukee he directed
the sheriff to detain Clausen in Keno
sha until his return. The sheriff at
once hunted up the old warrant for the
arrest of the promoter and referred it
to an attorney who declared that it
would be impossible to arrest Clausen
on this warrant Baker stated that he
would get a new warrant as soon as he
could get back to Kenosha but Clausen
was favored by fate and while the of
fcials were considering the matter he
slipped away from the city and return
ed to Chicago. There is some doubt
as to whether the charges against Clau-
sen would hold at this time but it is
pretty certain that if the returns to
Kenosha he will have to face a new
warrant.
The evidence in the suit of HAYNES
and Clausen against B. J. Arnold and
others was all taken on Tuesday and
the argument will be presented to. the
court later.

The Story of a Medicine.

Its name-oGolden Medical Discovery"

ant and valuable ingredients = Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,

famed 'Golden Medical Discovery" for

PLAN FOR NEW TEAM
Seidenbecker, Former Star Of
Waukegan Team, To Manage
Team at Central Park
PLAY IN CHICAGO LEAGUE

Kenosha base ball sports are to have
plenty Of chances to enjoy the game
this season as it is announced today
that the game is to be given a great
revival at Central Park and the Cen
trail Park team promises to be one of
the best teams in Southern Wisconsin.
Hank" Seidenbecker, former mana
ger of the Chicago Edgars and more
recently member of the Waukegan
team in the Lake Shore League, has
been engaged to be the captain and
manager Of the new Kenosha team and
he has started work in earnest by sign
ing one of the best batteries in the
semi professional ranks Oscar Knobs,
the former star pitcher for the Mar
quettes Of Chicago, and his catcher
Tommy Assmussen, have been signed
as the nucleus for the Central Park
team. Seidenbecker himself will don
a uniform and play on first base The
remainder Of the team will be made up
Of strong amateur players from Racine
and Kenosha and it is the plan Of the
AAA0AeeSS1o w oSSp-' pHb@O AAOIIl OOGn
cities. The manager Of the team has
already Joined the Chicago Inter-City
Base Ball Association, and this associa-
ton will assign teams to play in Keno
sha every Sunday during the summer.
The season at Central Park will open
two weeks from Sunday with series
Of games with the Kenosha team of the
Lake Shore League and after this
series is over Manager Seidenbecker
will announce full schedule for the
summer. The Kenosha team will play
on it's home grounds every Sunday af
ternoon. 1t is said ths no effort will
be made to cut into the business of the
Lake Shore League in Kenosha, but
the managers of the Central Park team
declare that Kenosha is large enough
to support two strong teams and that
many people Of the city will be glad
to see some of the old time Chicago
Rivals on a Kenosha diamond again.
With Knolls and Rasmussen as a starter
fine team looks as if it would be for
midable rival for any team in this
section of the state The park at Cen
trail Park is one Of the best base ball
parks in this part Of Wisconsin.
In the meantime Manager Breen has
begun the work Of getting ready for the
opening Of his new park on the west
side of the city and large force of
men are at work moving the grand
stand and bleachers from the old park
to the new site. It is expected that
the new park will be ready for use
within the next three weeks but it is
not probable that any games will be
played there until after the first of
May.

MAY GUST voLIvA
Successor of Dowie May Lose Power
When Receiver Hately Goes

There is new prophecy out in Zion
City.
It is that the end of the receivership
Of John G. Hately will also mark the
end Of the reign Of Wilbur Glenn
Voliva.
Things are said to be so framed that
Voliva will suffer crushing and utter
defeat at the end of the receivership,
one that will strip him Of his power
and authority and reduce him to the
ranks, making his position untenable.
Said the man who made his proph-
ecy, - If one little country lawyer
can get verdict Of $4,000 against
Voliva what can a whole city do when
arrayed against him?
Wait and you will see Voliva down
and out just about the time the re
ceivership ends, and this thread will be
cut, I firmly have reason to believe, by
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands. u
1t is known aside from this that legal
papers are being prepared to strip Volt
va of his authority, either by means
of a law suit or by means of an in
junction, and the fling of papers is ex-
pected at any moment by the people of
Zion City who are backing the move
ment.
Leaders have long been united in
complaining of the Voliva methods of
rule or ruin which generally means rule
and ruin they say and are said to be
ripe for rebellion even in his own ranks.
The newest indication of rebellion
against his authority is that there is
now decided element favoring a wide
open city, free from drug stores, saloons
or oyster and pork shops but still open
to outside enterprise as exemplifed in
merchants.

CALL FOR MEN WHO CAN MILK
Employment Bureaus Have Sent Many
Of the Unemployed to the Country

Hundreds of applications have been
received this month at the Milwaukee
employment bureaus for men to work
on farms and they are still coming.
A great many idle men have been sent
out to these jobs, but it is stated that
there are more applications than men
who are experienced in this line of
work. Most of the applications call
for single men who have worked on
farms and who can milk cows. The
applications come from all sections of
the state and pay of $40 to $25 a
month and board is promised. The
call for the more skilled laborers, such
as engineers and painters, has been
slowing increasing, but it is not ex-
pected to be brisk for month or
more. Men are returning from the
woods and awaiting the opening of
railroad work, so that it is estimated
that the number of idle men in that city
has not decreased greatly during the
month.

Identity of Unknown Man Found in
Greek When Solved Revealed
q Tragedy of Grief
WELL KNOWN NORTH SIDE MAN
Jacob seitz Had Left Home Only Few
Hours Before He Was Found in
the River North of the s.
City Just Before Noon

The mystery surrounding the Identity
of the remains of the man found in the
waters of the Kenosha river Just north
of the city Monday morning was solved
this morning when the remains were
positively identified as those of Jacob
Seitz, a landscape gardener who had
resided at 419 Hanson street. The de-
ceased left his home in usual spirits
at eight O'Clock Monday morning and
his death under such tragic circum-
stances has caused profound sensation
among the older German residents of
the north side among whom Seitz was
widely known.
The examination Of the stomach of
the dead man on Monday afternoon by
Coroner Andre and DR.. Thompson, left
no doubt as to the cause of the death
of the man. skS1
In the stomach was found several
ounces of Paris green, but much of it
had. not as yet been assimilated into
the blood and it is just possible that
the burns on the body of the man rath-
er than the poison caused his death.
The burns cannot be accounted for in
any way save by the theory that Seitz
was determined to end his life and that
after he took the poison he deliberately
set fire to his clothing and that in this
way his flesh was burned. It is sup
posed that he fell into the river while
making an attempt to escape from the
awful pains which he must have suf-
fered. ..
William Seitz, a son of the deceased
went to the morgue this morning and
looked at the body and at once lidenti-
fed it as that of his father. The elder
Seitz has always been a man of very
regular habits and when he failed to
return to his home for supper Monday
evening the members of the family at
once feared that something was wrong.
Seitz had left his home at eight
0 'clock in the morning to go to a place
on the north side to trim some trees
and to do some gardening, but as the
work would take him most Of the day
it was not expected that he would come
home for his dinner. It is now thought
that he took the can of Paris green
from home and went to the spot along
the river with the deliberate purpose
of ending his life. For the past two
months Seitz had been grieving over
the death of his daughter which occurr-
ed short time ago and he had refused
to be comforted. It seems that this
preyed on his mind continually and his
relatives believe that finally his mind
became unbalanced and he decided to
put an end to his suffering by suicide.
The deceased was widely known
among the German people of the city.
He was native of Germany and was
born Aug. 9, 1S4l. He came to this
country with his family twenty eight
years ago and has since been resident
Of Kenosha.
For years he worked on the Balm
farm, but for the past few years he had
been working as landscape gardener
in the city. He is survived by widow,
one son William Seitz and one daughter,
Mrs. Albert Schmitt, all Of Kenosha.
The deceased was a member of the Ger
man Lutheran Church and had been ac-
tive in the work Of the church in form
er years.
