NJ. Schleyer Starts Action Against
Herman koehIer for AIienat.
ing Wife's Affections
WANTS BALM OF $4,000
Claims That Koehler Has Been Seeking
to Secure the Affections of Mrs.
schleyer for the Past
-Four Years

A new sensation was sprung in the
Schleyer case on Monday afternoon
when Attorneys George w. Taylor and
Calvin Stewart, representing Martin
Schleyer, served a summons and com
plant on Herman ~Koehler in a suit
brought by Schleyer against Koehler
charging alienation of the affections of
Schleyer' s wife and demanding dam
ages to the extent of $4,000 The sum
mons was served upon Koehler at the
Schleyer home late Monday afternoon
and it is supposed that he will file an
early answer to the complaint. Mrs.
Schleyer was present when the sum
mons was served, but she made no
statement in regard to the suit brought
by her husband.
In this the latest addition to the
legal tangle attending the domestic re
lations Of Schleyer and his wife, the
husband alleges that he is and has been
the husband Of Martha Schleyer for
twelve years He declares that he
lived happily with his wife until 1904
when Koehler came into the household
and by gifts to his wife and his child
rem managed to ALLEVIATE the affections
Of his wife. He alleges further that
Koehler used his influence over his
wife to cause her to begin an action
for divorce against the plaintiff and
that after this had been arranged be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Schleyer, Koehler
at once began to exert these influences
again and that while Schleyer was alb
sent from his home and in the State
/ of Washington Koehler by gifts and
other inducements caused Mrs. Sehleyer
to again renew the suit for divorce
which resulted in a default judgment
being issued which was afterward set
aside on the petition of the husband.
There is no probability that the case
will be tried at the present term of
The Circuit Court. In his complaint
Schleyer alleges many unlawful acts
on the part Of Koehler and Mrs.
Schleyer.
The argument of the motion for the
dismissal of the charges against
Schleyer in regard to the shooting of
Koehler, has not as yet been taken
up by the court, but it is expected that
the attorneys will seek to secure the
release of Schleyer just as soon as the
Gillotti case is disposed of on next
Monday morning. Schleyer seems to
be certain that he will gain his freedom
and he is now planning to prosecute
the different suits which he has started
in the Circuit Court. He has been in
communication with other members of
his family since his 4oqu4ov,A Oy Sne
jury and it is said that the members
of the family have promised to furnish
him every financial aid he may need
in the matter.
| No date has been set for the hearing
of the sensational divorce charges
brought by Schleyer, but it is thought
that this will be reached at the present
term Of the Circuit Court.

Report of Assessors of Towns and
the City Show an Increase
Over Last Valuation
8 TOWNS SHOW DECREASE
Total Assessment for the County for
the Year Reaches the High Point
of $SO,155,5o1 as Compared With
8,567,258 Last Year
{ From Saturdays Daily

County Clerk Russell Jones this
morning sent to Madison his annual
report Of the valuation of the prop
,erty in Kenosha county for the
purposes of taxation and the report
shows that the valuation in both the
city and county has been increased
during tie year just closed. The total
valuation Of all property in the county,
both in real ana personal for this
year is $30,155,501 The valuation in
1917 was $28, 367.258.
There is also an increase in
the value Of the personal property
in the county as this year the total
is placed at $8,101, 1884 and last year
it was but $6,894,521. It is a rather
interesting fact that the great amount
Of the increase in the personal property
assessment is taken from the city, the
towns showing an increase Of a few
thousand dollars over the former
year. In most cases the assessments
Of thu towns for this year are larger
than ia the preceding year. However,
there IS falling off in the valuation
of the towns of Pleasant Prairie,
Salem and WheatIand. A great part Of
the decrease in Pleasant Prairie is due
to tho fact that large portion Of real
estate from that town has been taken
into the city since the last assessment
was made. AS in the former year the
town Of Randall leads the towns Of
the county in the amount Of increase
and it is certain that the assessor of
that town is determined to bring Ran
dal.. 70 the point whore it will be
assessed at a fair if.not the true value
Of the property.
There is Of course the usual number
Of funny things in connection with
the assessment, but in most ways the
assessment is considered a very salts
factory one. It will be noted that the
assessment as made by the assessors
is about five million dollars below the
assessment fixed by the State Tax
Commission and an effort will be made
to have the tax commission 90 over
the figures and make reduction in
their figures. The state levy is made
on the figures of The commission The
following shows the assessment in the
towns of the county and the city as
compared with the assessment returned

Contractors for Government Building
to Break Ground in Few Days


to Break Ground in Few Days
The J., P Cullen Company of James
vile which has the contract for the
building Of the Kenosha post Office, has
announced that ground will be broken
for the new building the latter part
of this week ana large force of men
will be put to work in order to get
the foundations of the building in dur
ing the present building season. It is
understood that the company will en-
.ploy Kenosha labor if the men can be
secured here on favorable terms and
that the work will be carried forward
just as far into the winter as the
weather will permit. There will be a
great lot of dirt taken out in making
the excavations for the building and
while the black dirt will be saved for
the grading Of the lot after the com
pletion of the building, other dirt will
be turned over to the city for use on
filing up Market Square. This will
aid the city quite a little in filing up
the square, AS vet the council has
made NO arrangements to have the dirt
hauled in to complete the filing Of this
portion of Market street, but it is ex-
pected that the dirt will be brought in
this fall in order to give it chance
to settle before the opening Of the
spring season for paving.

Northwestern Ry. Go. Planning
To EIectrify Lines Between
Chicago and Milwaukee
MORE TRACKS PLANNED SOON
Suburban Service of the Company Will
Be Operated Almost Entirely
by Electricity-Freig
On New Lines

A complete identification of the
system between Chicago and Milwau-
kee, the installation Of a suburban
service, the abandonment of the main
line for through freight service, and
the laying of two additional tracks,
making four in all, is the gigantic
scheme which the Chicago and North
western rail road is considering at the
present time, according to the state
ment of one of the road S leading
officials.
In speaking Of the matter to a local
well known business man the official
declared that the road has been con
sidering this plan for some time past.
Experiments have been made and it
has been practically decided that to
electrify the whole system is the only
feasible way in which to compete with
the present electric railroad.
The plan as outlined, is to lay two
additional tracks btween Chicago and
Waukegan to be used for suburban pur-
poses Trans Will stop at regular
points all along the line, similar to the
plan Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
electric railroad The other two
tracks will be used for through trains
only which will make but few stops
between Chicago and Milwaukee. In
this way, both classes Of people that
patronize a railroad will be taken into
consideration-the residents living on
the north shore who wish only to
travel between interior points, and the
business men who want to get to their
destination as soon as possible.
The freight service is also to be
given serious consideration. In this
line, steps Of a definite nature have
already been taken, as through
freight trains no longer are sent over
the local line. They all pass over
the west siue line direct to Milwau-
kee This has been done ever since
the une west Of the city was butt
about two years ago.
Before tnat time, freight trains
rom Chicago went by way of the
Niles Center division, joining the main
line at Lake Bluff. From there they
came to Kenosha direct This has all
been done away with now, however,
and only passenger trains and way
freights pass over the main line.
The plan of running the through
freights over the branch line that
runs west of here, it is said, has proved
great saving, according to the official
who gave out the information.
The grade of the branch line has
been reduced to minimum and it is
said that less fuel is necessary to run
the engines. The company has found
by actual test that they save fully
twenty-five per cent over what it
formerly cost them to run trains over
the main line. In this way they can
run one-fourth more trains at the
same cost and this. means an added
income of thousands Of dollars yearly.
just when these plans will be car
ried into effect is not known, but it
is thought that it will be done as
soon as possible. The fact that sew
eral other large railroads are seri-
ously considering the proposition OF
electrifying their systems may be an
incentive for haste or the part OF
the. Chicago and Milwaukee line.
