HELD UP AND ROBBED
Fred PeI|a Employed at Jeffrey
Plant Made To Give Up Wages
at Point of a Revolver
ROBBERS GETTING BOLD AGAIN


Fred Pella, an employee Of the Thomas
B. Jeffrey Company residing at Kenosha
Heights was held up and robbed Of his
wages at a point just west of the rail-
way tracks on Prairie avenue Just be-
fore seven O'Clock Monday evening
The two men who held up Pella manag
ed to get his pay envelope containing
twenty-nina dollars in money. Pella
ran to the saloon Of Joseph Loef near
the scene of the robbery and notified
the police OF the crime and later in the
evening one man was arrested on sus-
picion, but lie could not be connected
with tIercrime. Pella is we'll known
emong the men at the Jeffrey plant and
every effort is being made by the police
and the sheriff to find the men who
robbed hun.
Pella had left the plant little after
SIX clock and had started for his home
IN Kenosha Heights. AS he was pass
ing the plant of the Kenosha Chicago
Hosiery Company, he noticed couple
Of men OH the railway tracks Just
ahead of him but as this is a favorite
loating place for tramps Pella paid no
attention to them. The men were not
masked and when Pella reached the
railway tracks one of the men stepped
IN front OF hin. and demanded that he
halt. At the same time the other
placed the muzzle Of a revolver in his
face and shouted, "Give us your pay
envelope Pella was so frightened
That he saw no way out Of it but to
turn over the money and he reached into
his pocket and handed out the envelope
containing the twenty-nine dollars.
1t was evident that the men were not
taking any chances and they ordered
EPeila to walk straight ahead and at
the same time kept him covered with a
revolver. One of the men then made
his getaway and by the time Pella
had reached the saloon the other man
had disappeared. Tt is thought that
the robbery was the work of tramps
who infesty chat portion of the city and
the police and the sheriff are making
roundup of the men today in hopes
of finding some Of the money stolen
from Pella.

MAY GET MORE LAND.
Kenosha Cemetery Association
Can Purchase Lake View
Cemetery to South
MORE LAND NOW REQUIRED

The Kenosha Cemetery Association
is now considering plan for the pur-
chase of the portion Of the Lake View
Cemetery not yet subdivided immediate
~ adjoining the City Cemetery on the
South. L g. Jackson the owner of the
Lake View Cemetery has made the di-
rectors of the association very adj
vantageous offer for the remainder of
the land and it is thought that if the
property is not purchased by the associ-
alton it viii be taken by private cor
poration and used for cemetery pur-
poses. The cemetery question in Keno
sha just at present is one Of the hardest
problems presented to the people of the
city. A lot in the City Cemetery is one
Of the most valuable assets man could
have at this time as it is impossible to
purchase 4 lot and it is all but impossi-
bic to secure even a single grave. The
Lake View Cemetery consisting of five
, acres was plated two years ago and
placed Oh the market. One acre of it
was divided into lots and already there
have been nearly hundred bodies
buried in this one acre of ground
There is not single lot left in the part
that was subdiNided and while the re-
mainder Of the property has been prop
erly dedicated as a cemetery under the
state law it has not been laid out. This
property directly adjoins the City
Cemetery and with the four acres Of
fered for sale the Cemetery Association
could provide for buriels for a number
of wears at least and it is possible that
more ground may be secured later
The Association seems also to be
figuring on plan fol the opening of a
new cemetery located at some distance
from the city and for this reason the
plan for the purchase of the Jackson
land has not been considered as serious
| ly as it night have been if there was
no other plan under consideration.
There is st this time All immediate
demand For a place to bury the dead
and should Mr.. Jackson decline to put
the remainder of his land on the market
as cemetery it would be almost impos-
sible to find graves for the dead. Half
lots in the City Cemetery can be had in
some cases but the price asked for them
| is SO large that it is impossible for the
poorer people Of the city to purchase
them.

JAIL rs CROWDED
Sheriff Pfennig Forced to Entertain 26
Visitors On Sunday Evening

Prisoners were packed in the county
Jail last night like lot of sardines in
box and the sheriff s forces set new
record by taking care of twenty six
in the regular cells during the night.
In addition to this there was score Of
tramps and hobos in the tramp room.
The Jail has accommodations for eighteen
prisoners when all OF the cells are filed
and that brotherly love which is alleged
to exist among criminals does not in
clude the theory of doubling up with
anyold person that may be brought in,
hence six Of the prisoners were forced
to sleep on the floor last night. This
may result in complications as it is
claimed that should any of the prisoners
become Ill from sleeping on the floor
they would have an action against the
county. It is evident that some thing
must be done to provide some place to
take care Of the prisoners.

OPPOSITION FOR sTURGTis
Alvin "A. Blood Out AS Republican Can.
didate for Justice of the Peace


Benjamin O. oturges is to have op-
position for the Republican nomination
for justice of the peace as petitions
have been placed in circulation for the
nomination Of Alvin H. Blood at pres
cnt member of the Board of Supervi-
sors and formerly county surveyor.
Blood is well known among the Repubi-
cans of the city but it is thought that
his entrance into the field Ut this late
time will make it difficult matter for
him to defeat Sturges for the nomina-
ton.
The papers of Mr.. Stnrges are ready
for fling and his friends mad already
begun active work in his behalf with
the understanding that he would be the
only candidate Of the Republicans for

The people were silent over the be- trothal of worthy Jew to q German girl, after her shame with an Irishman: and. as 1t seemed to me, they didn't approve the match very highly; though during the progress of the play the young Jew had enlarged a hueister's stand to a thriving department sk0ra while the girls German fathers jew elry shop petered out to 8 sheriffa sale in bankruptcy. The value of ths play, too. went on a diminuedo down to naught or rhereabouts.
 IL Is rarely that name a theatrical manager, because these lettere tell only of things see in new plays: but William A. Brady acted so amusing1y in the first performance of '@rha Man Who Stood still." that can't leave him out of the account. Louis Mann. being q parsonage in the very best lsraeiite society of New York. faced an audience whose toilets made the theatre look like grand opera. There were dozen enthusiastic recalls for the actor after the third act; also a vigorous demand for Author Good man. who wouldn't come out; and at length Brady was pulled into view by Mann. At once the audience was si- lsnt expectantly. for Brady's curtain speeches have been the most divertinx sinca the late Charles Fl. Hoyt used fo souse himself with alcoholic courage for his ordeals as an author mans ger. Mann hauled Brady out from the wings much as Belaseo'a stag act- resses do with him: but evidently there had been no rehearsal. for Mann tried to quit, leaving Brady to fAce the audience alone; but Brady laid hold onto Mann like e wrestler at catch-as-catch can. and held him fast though not without . struggle.
 "You have heard 1t said that Louis Mann is an egotist" said Brady, ''buk I want to tell you that he is an artist. and have handled" here Mann wrfggled and sQuirmed to get loose. but Brady held onto him as he went on: whether this play ia success or 6 failure. my friend Mann has put three months. of hard work into it. and the manager grasped the actor with what seemed to be e desire to kiss him in the French fashion.
 The audience was merry. but Mann ,was not. He had let himself down to tollity in a pinochie game. falling out and making up with his crony at each deal of the cards; but he had. also. put his very best endeavor into a de- nunciation of his wayward daughter. and he wasn't disposed to figure in comic curtain calls. Really, these re- sponses by managers and authors to applause should be rehearsed careful Iy always. as they usually are, to at tain the desirable spontaneity without awkardness.
 Plays that make their actors sing and dance are, or at least have been, chased and graded arbitrarily. At the top of them are comic operas in which the music and the singing are para mount Close under that high level and priced the same-that is. &2 per seat fin Broadway-are the musical comedies and farces in which the arr tistry is antie.

This act Is new to the South and win be sure to create the biggest sensation of the season. It Is known to be fact that it is very hard for c Chinaman to master the American methods of music, but these Oriental gentlemen have accomplished this. and their playing and singing of American ballads is worth coming many miles to see.

 The play that begins so rough -rous- ingly as that isn't cheap in It's two- dollaraprice of best seats; or low in it's avowed moral purport. The real problem in .'The Man Who Stood stun" may be to provide a profitable play and character for Louis Mann. who has done well with Germanized English diction both seriousiy and comicaliy; but Jules Eckert Goodman wrote 1t to illustrate racial preiudices and ai- mositieB in this cosmopolitan city of New York. {.

The exposition of racial types, so 1t seems to me. is lacking in one important particular. There is an Irish father to deploFe and denounce the anorous wicked ness of<his son. and German father to oppose his daughters wsdloelx with an Israeiite. but there is no orthodox Jewish father to be wFoth over his son,s marriage with Christian girl. It would have seemed to nae, had I undertaken to write this play for Louis Mann, that the role for him was not the German father, whom he now en- acts. but the missing Jewish parent of the Isrselito suftor; for strictly ortho- dox Jews In New York tstill perform funeral rites over oftspring deemed dead reiigiousIy through wedlock with Christians: and wouldn't Louis Mann, whose friends agree with him that he is the forthcoming Hhyiock. be impres- sive in thefportrayaI of 6 modern Jew with . daughter welded away from her people and her faith7
