4 MAN
II. u. MEREDITH TAKEN TO JAIL
AT PRINCETON, CHARGED
WITH MURDER.

The many friends in this city of
X. b. Meredith will be surprised
and panied to learn of his arrest on
a charge of murder. From what
can be learned Meredith. who runs
a mining engine at the mines of the
Booth-Bowen Colliery, in company
with a man named Tabor, went to
the mines on SUNDAY on some bus
mess and in some manner became
involved in row with a drunken
Hungarian, known as Giles Smith
Meredith and Tabor started home,
but were followed by the Hungarian
and his friends. who were making
threats against Meredith and Tabor.
When they became too threatening
Tabor, who was armed, fired into
the crowd and shot one of the men
in the leg. Meredith being closed
pressed by the man who was drink
ing, being unarmed. picked up a rock
and threw it at his adversary, with
such precision that he struck him
and fractured his skull The wound
ed man died shortly after being
struck. The man shot in the leg will
recover.
Meredith and Tabor waived a
hearing and were sent to jail at
Princeton.
Mr.. Meredith is a brother of En-
, gineer j. +. Meredith. Of this city
and formerly lived here. He was a
fireman for the Norfolk and Western
for three years His friends in this
city believe his statement thath he
acted entirely on the defensive and
predict his acquittal.

Kenosha Water Commissioners
Turn Down Plan to Test
for Place for Intake
PROMISE OF PROSECUTIONS
Contractors Will Not be Permitted to
Use the Fire Hydrants and all
Wrenches Will be Collected
Coal Contracts Let

The Kenosha Board of Water Com
missioners put damper on the plan
proposed by the City Council of having
extensive tests of the water in the
lake in order to find a suitable place
for the proposed new intake at tbs
meeting of the Board this morning,
and While the Board decided to 1ave
a few samples of lake water examined
with the view of finding purer water,
the extended analysis demanded by tie
Council will not be carried out unless
the city makes some provision to pay
for it. The matter has been discussed
at length by the members Of the COM
mission and they are in doubt as to
whether it would be a paying PROPOSE
ton to make the large number of tests
asked by the Council The members of
the Board seem to be in favor OF purer
water if it can be secured, but il was
the sentiment Of all the commissioners
that the new intake should not be
built until it was found just what was
needed to take care of the future bust
ness of the city plant. This action on
the part Of the commissioners makes it
pretty certain that no action to build
the new intake will be~taken this year
- is possible that the City Council at
its meeting next Monday evening will
take up the matter and order the tests
but many Of the members of the C3un-
eli are opposed to the action as they be
lieve that the members of the water
commission would resent any action of
the Council to take this matter out OF
their hands.
The commission this morning laid
down the law against the use Of the
fire hydrants by contractors. Con
tractors IN all parts of the city have
been using the hydrants to secure
water and it is just possible that a
lot Of this water has not been paid for
The chief of the fire department was
directed to collect all the wrenches held
by contractors and to serve notice ON
these men that if they were found
opening city hydrant without written
permission from the Board of Water
Commissioners they would be arrested
and prosecuted to the fullest extent Of
the law.
The Board let the contract for the
coal supply for the coming year to the
North Shore Fuel and Supply Company
of this city. The contract is for 1900
tons of Harrisburg, mine run coal at
the rate of 1926 a ton. There were
many bids presented and the contract
was awarded to- the lowest bidder.
The Board transacted a lot Of routine
work before adjourning.

OBITUARY

The following brief history of the
life Of Edward Healey is taken from
the Crete Vidette-Herald of Saline
County, Nebraska
Edward Healey was born in Mont
real, Canada, in 1870. He came with
his parents to the United States, first
settling in New York state, removing to
the State of Wisconsin in 1916. The
little family settled on 40 acres Of land
in Kenosha county. In 1849 his father
went to California in search for gold
leaving the care Of the family to his
wife and son Edward with every scanty
means. His first experience as a teach
er was in the winter of 1860 and 81
when he had charge Of a district school.
When school was out he at once joined
the Park City Grays, which was among
the very first military companies Of the
state to be accepted by the Governor
of Wisconsin and which afterwards be-
came part of the First Wisconsin In
fantry. After the war he came in 1869
together with his brother Inomas A.
Healey and sister Kate Garland to
Seward County, Nebraska, settling on
a homestead near Camden where he
continued to- farm in summer and teach
school in winter for everal years, finally
being put in charge of the city school
at Crete in the early seventies. During
/ the presidency Of President Harrison,
be was in charge Of the government
school for indians at Chamberlain, S.
ID. He and his wife remained in charge
of those schools until removed by Presi-
, dent Cleveland. He then returned to
Nebraska and was in charge of the
city schools at Lexington, Milford and
ether places until elected county super
. intendent Of schools for Seward county,
Neb., which office he held for two
terms. He was married to Miss Jen-
ME Reeve of Salem, Wis, in 1864.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Healey were mem
bers of the Episcopal church at Crete
for many years.

DRIVEN OUT OF BUSINESS
Railroad Rate Law Responsible for the
Closing of Popular Wisconsin Resort

AS direct result Of the construc-
ton which has been placed upon state
and federal rate laws by which all
excursion rates have been cancelled,
the Wisconsin Dells resort will be
closed permanently within the next
thirty days.
All the property of the Dells com
pany will be offered for sale and the
company which has operated that re-
sort for the last ten years will wind
up it's affairs.
The company can not continue
longer on the losing basis which the
lack of excursion rates has caused. y
This was the statement today of
Nat Wetzel, general manager for the
last nine years of the Dells property
at Kilbourn. The company operated
the only large hotel at the Dells,
owns the steamers which ply the river,
and controls the 600 acres along both
sides of the river which include all the
most beautiful locations in what Is said
to be the most beautiful stretch of
river dells in the world.
The Dells have hitherto been visited
by thousands every year, being prob
ably the most patronized scenic spot
in American between Niagara and the
Yellowstone.
