John yesuIis, Returning to Wsu-
kegan After . Day in Keno
sha, Accidentally Killed
REMAINS TAKEN TO WAUKECAN
Time and Manner of the Man IS
Death Are Unknown But He is
Supposed To Have Been Hit
&
While Walking on Tracks

John Yesuis, a LithuaniaIa,s 90 years
old. living in Waukegan, was run down
and killed by a train On the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railway be
tween Kenosha and Waukegan on
Monday. The hour of his death or the
ear which struck him is not known
and the only clue to the accident was
the finding of The dead body Of the
man in the ditch along the road just
lsouth Of The state line Monday after
noon. His legs were broken and his
chest crushed and it is certain that
| some train passed over him. The men
| in charge Of the different cars on the
| line all declare that they know moth
ling about the killing of the man. The
remains were taken to Waukegan Mon
day and an inquest over the remains
will be held there this evening, The
| killing of Yesulis came as a tragic
ending to day of merry making,
Sunday six Lithuanians, three women
and three men, who had formerly lived
in Kenosha but now living in Mauke-
gan, had come to Kenosha to spend the
day with their former friends in this
| city and the reunion had brought day
of great gayiety The members of the
party with the exception Of Yesulis had
returned to Waukegan late Sunday
evening, but he, after accompanying
the remainder of the party to the car
decided to remain in Kenosha for a
| few hours longer. He started from
Kenosha Tor Waukegan early Monday
morning and this was the last seen of
| him alive. The man had waited too
long to catch a train and it is sup
posed that he started to walk back
along the tracks and it is possible that
ne was struck during the night and
not killed outright and that terribly
injured he crawled to the place where
the body was found.
The Kenosha friends Of the dead
man could give no clue to the manner
of his death declaring that when he
left here he was perfectly sober and
in the best Of spirits He had planned
to reach Waukegan in time TO go to
work Monday morning When the
body was found there was nothing to
show the identity but small prayer
book printed in the Polish language
and it was by means Of this book that
Yesulis was identified. A number of
the friends Of the dead man in Kenosha
will go to Waukegan this evening to
attend the inquest and give such evil
dence as they can to aid in clearing
| up the mystery. Yesulis had been iiv-
ling in Kencsha and Waukegan for the
past three years and was unmarried:
The funeral will be held in Wauke-
gan probably tomorrow afternoon.

Judge SIossOn 10 County Court
Makes important Decision
in Dowse Will Case
LEGAL MEANING OF cash"
Court Holds That it Must Include All
Money Certificates of Deposit
and Money IN Bank-Rul-
ing New Point

Judge Slosson in the County Court
today handed down very Interesting
decision in the Interpretation of the
will of the late James G. Dowse, which
will be of interest to attorneys as well
as to many people who have been in.
terested in the settlement of the estate
!, of the former Pleasant Prairie farmer.
In his ruling the court interprets the
meaning of the word "cash - The
testator left all of his cash on hand to
one of his sons, and as he had consider
able money at his home and considera-
BILE in the bank, the question was raised
) as to whether the money in the bank
should be included. The decision Of
the court was as follows:
i, "a, What property is included and
intended so to be by the testator, under
the clause "Cash money! used in the
fourth paragraph of the will of said
deceased?
/ E'b. Do the. proofs and all proceed
ings in said matter show that there is
personal property belonging to the es-I
tate of the deceased other than that
accounted for by said administration,
and now in possession of said Bryon G.
Dowse or any other person? Both of
which questions were at issue upon said
hearings.
| And upon full investigation of said
questions and the issues so raised and
submitted, from all the proofs offered
and received, and upon all the papers,
! documents, ETC., on file in said matter,
and the court being fully advised in the
premises and fully satisfied as to the
intention of the testator, and as to the
legal status. involved, in said issues,
! finds:
| "1 That the clause 60 Cash money!
used in the fourth paragraph of the
will of said deceased covers all money
such as currency, silver and gold owned
by the deceased at the time of his
death, and also all certificates of de-
posit issued by any bank and belonging
to deceased at the time of his death
being the entire residue of the personal
assets and estates of the said deceased
now in the hands of said administrator,
and that clause should be so interpreted
and construed.
20. That it appears clearly from
the proofs aforesaid that there is no
personal property in the possession of
said Byron c. Dowse, son of said de-
ceased, or in the possession of any per
son, other than that accounted for by
the said administrator. which consti
tutes part Of the estate of said de-
ceased and belongs thereto.

MAY CAANGE LAW
Fire Insurance Agents in Wisconsin
Want Rate of Taxation Reduced

Important changes in the Wisconsin
fire insurance laws are proposed in let
ters received by the state department
of insurance Most Of the large Wis
consin fire insurance companies have
suggested that consideration be had of
ia recommendation for legislation next
winter to- change the method of taxa
ton of fire insurance companies. At
present these companies are taxed at
the rate of 4 per cent on their gross
premiums less the amount Of losses
and reinsurance. It lis proposed to
charge 2 per cent on the gross pre-
miums and allow no deductions there
from for losses and reinsurance. An
investigation of the result of such a
change has been made and the con
clusion reached that the proposed
method would bring somewhat more
net revenue to the state, and it would
also be a decided advantage to the
Wisconsin fire underwriters, as it
would save them large sums paid as
taxes to other states under the retail
atory laws.
Another change that has been pro
posed is to place the state fire mar
shal's work III the present state in
surance department, rather than to
maintain two separate and distinct de
partments. The change is proposed on
the ground of economy and additional
effectiveness. Marshal T. M Purtell,
who was appointed by Gov, Davidson
shortly after the fire marshal law was
enacted by the Legislature of 1902, has
brought his department to a state Of
effective organization and is preparing
ia report of the work done under the
new law 1t is doubtful whether he
would be DESTROYS of having his depart
ment made subordinate to the insur-
ance department. a

AN EXCITING CHASE
Victor vuctcous Captured by a
North Side Man After Assault
ing Well Known Woman
FORCED TO FIGHT ADvAN CES

The north side had little real ex-
citement just after seven 'clock,
when Victor Vuctcous, Russian, %
years Of age, was captured after an
exciting chase. The man was charged
with having assaulted Miss Mamie
Steinbach, a5Well known young woman
of that portion Of the city. At the
Jail he gave his occupation as a grocer
and he IS to have "a hearing this after
noon.
Miss Steinbach was walking north
along Milwaukee avenue and just af-
ter she passed the north side park
she noticed that man was following
her. She attempted to get out of his
way, but the fellow persistently fol
lowed her along the street When the
corner of Bronson street was reached
Miss Steinbach was thoroughly fright
ened by the actions Of the fellow and
she stopped in order to allow him to
pass her, but the man caught hold Of
her arm. ''You come along with me, -
ne said to the girl and she began to
fight in an effort to get away from the
fellow, She started to run with the
fellow holding on to her and reached
the saloon OF Joe Meyers at the next
corner. She pushed open the door and
called loudly for help and Hubbard
ARgenendt came to her assistance. The
man seeing Angenendt approaching
started to run, but the girl told her
story and Angenendt started after the
fellow. Others were enlisted in the
chase and Vuctcous was captured af-
ter a chase of little over three blocks.
The wagon was called and the fellow
taken to Jail where he declared that
he did not mean to do the girl any
harm. Miss Steinbach is well known
among the people Of the north side and
if the wagon had not arrived just when
it did it is probable that the Russian
would have been roughly handled by
the crowd which gathered. Miss Stein
bach had never seen the fellow before
he began to follow her and for this
reason she was all the more frightened
by his actions.
Later:-Vuctcous was arraigned be-
fore Justice McCarron on a charge of
attempted criminal assault and was held
to the Circuit Court in bonds of $780,.

County Clerk Receives Apportion,
ment of Money to be Paid by
This County to the State
TOTAL is NEARLY $4,000
Much of the Money is for the Support
Of the Schools and This Will be
Returned to the County
Support Institutions

County Clerk Russell Jones has re-
sceiEed from Secretary of State Frear
the annual apportionment, of the tax
to. be paid by Kenosha county this, year
for the support of the schools and the
various state institutions and the
amount is within a few. dollars Of the
amount paid by the county a year ago.
The increase in the valuation of Ke-
nosha county by the State, Tax Com
mission has resulted in small increase
in the apportionment for the county,
but the amount will be decidedly small
On account Of the fact, that mo regular
state tax has been levied. The total
amount to be paid into the state treas
ury by Kenosha county the coming year
is $48,885.29 of which $42,057.74 comes
under the head Of State School Tax
be- Larger amount Of thist7wiH be paid
back to the High School and graded
schools. Of the county next, year and
for this reason the total state tax to
be paid by the county will be only a
little over $4,000. This goes entirely
for the support Of the penal institu
tions of the state and those institutions
having the care. Of the insane and fee
BILE minded in charge.
The school tax includes $2,3C4.4S for
interest on certificates of indebtedness;
$l,828.14 for the support of the free
High Schools of the state; $1,755.01
for the support of the graded schools;
$10,956.91 for the support of the state
University at Madison; $500 - for
the support of the State Normal
Schools; and $22, 445.43 for the support
Of the great county school system Of
the state.
The total amount assessed against
Kenosha county for the support of the
various state institutions is $6,51630.
The largest amount in this appropria
ton is for the care of the chronic in
sane, this amounting to $3.47S.62. The
appropriation from this county for the
support of the Northern Hospital for
the insane is 81 ,426.48, the amount for
the State : Hospital sat Mendota is
| $567.58. The county will contribute
for the home for the feeble minded
$783.61; the amount to be paid for the
care of the charges of the state at the
Industrial School for Boys at Wauke-
sha $223.44, and the amount for tie
support of the Tuberculosis Sanitarium
at Wales is $28.57. In addition tct this
tax there is special apportionment
against the town of Salem in the
amount of $311,25. to pay a loan and
interest for money secured for the cree
ton of a school building.
Of this state apportionment about
$4,000 will be paid by the city, the
amount for the city being almost ex-
actly the same as in the former year.
The county taxes will be just about
the same as last year so that the city
will have to raise just about the same
amount for state and county taxes.
This apportionment will be taken up
by the county board at the coming
meeting and there is no reason to be-
ieve that any appeal will be made from
the figures made by the state.
