Governor Harril was party to

by the Ohio State Journal, Ropubli-

in secret conferences with State

FORA STORMY MONTH.
Weather Forecaster Hicks De-
cIares That Coming Month
Will Be Worst of Year
HAIL AND TRANSFORMS SURE

Put on your storm doors and win
dows, cover up your garden produce
and prepare a harbor Of refuge for
yourself. For our old friend, Ira Hicks
sees storms acoming.
In marked contrast with balmy beau
tiful June and torrid, sultry, quiet July
we are warned Of a stormy August.
We have always looked on August as Il
friend Of ours in which summer with
all It's beauty is shown and in which
there is some relief for the sweltering
heat Of July. But this year our hopes
are to be shattered for there is nothing
i'll sight but storms, storms, storms.
A regular storm period covers the
first five days Of August, having it's
center on Sunday the I'd. During the
Sd, 4th and 9Th, these conditions will
pass across the country to the Atlantic
breaking into severe wind and thunder,
storms in many localities. About the
4th, change to cooler and clearing
weather.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 8th and 9th; threatening weather
viii most likely be prolonged over the
10th and 18th merging into the storm
period following.
A regular storm period begins on the
18th, extending to the 10th. It is cen
tral on the 18th. Low barometer and
threatening forceful storms are to be
anticipated during this period The
period will eliminate on and touching
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the 14th,
18th and 10th. Between the 10th and
18th, progressively from west to east
southeast, an unseasonably cool wave
should be expected.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 10Th, goth and 21st. Lower
barometer, warmer and severe, summer
clustering will be natural about Wed
nesday, the 10Th, to Friday, the 21st.
many hail storms are quite probable
which fact may prolong great summer
heat at this time, even up to the next
storm period; but will break down and
bring change almost or quite to the
frost line in northern directions.
A regular storm period covers the
oath and 9th. If equatorial storms
dominate the south, to be expected
great atmospheric tides will flow from
the north, bringing very cool weather
and possible frosts to- many sections
northward. This period will reach it's
eliminating crisis on or within two
| days of - goth.

Man MangIed by the Cars al RAN
ney on Monday Morning Was
John Summer
SISTER IDENTIFIES THE BODY
Companion Who Was With Summer on
Fatal Ride Comes With Members
of Family to Kenosha But
Declines to Give Name

The mystery surrounding the identi-
ty of the unknown man who was killed
on the tracks of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and S. Paul road near Ranney Sta
ton on last Monday morning was solved
Thursday night when young woman
giving her name as Summer and her
residence as Evanston came to Kenosha
and positively identified the remains of
the man as those of her brother John
Summer, 20 years of age, who formerly
lived at Evanston and who had left that
city on last Sunday night to go to st,
Paul by way of Milwaukee. There was
an air of mystery about the Identified
ton. With Miss Summer came a man
who left Chicago with Summer, but he
refused to give his name and made
every possible effort to prevent any
statements being made in regard to the
case. 1t was learned, however, that
the two le1t Chicago on the fast mail
train. Summer was riding the brake
beams between two baggage cars while
his companion was riding between the
mail cars.
1t is thought that the unfortunate
man fell asleep and dropped down be-
meath the wheels and was ground to
pieces. His companion missed him
when short distance from Milwaukee
and when he heard of the man being
found on the tracks he communicated
with the sister and told her in regard to
the disappearance of her brother dur
ing the trip to Milwaukee. The letter
miscarried and was not received at the
Evanston home until this morning.
Summer was a plumber by trade and
worked for the firm of Charles Beck &
Son in Evanston. Beck was with the
party which came to Kenosha to identi-
| fly the body. Miss Summer would not
discuss the matter simply stating that
the family was well known in society
in Evanston and that they did not care
to have any great publicity in connec-
ton with the death Of the young man.
These facts have been communicated
to the coroner ana he has granted
permit for the removal Of the remains
to Evanston and they will be buried
at the family plat at Calvary probably
tomorrow.
In the meantime it is probable that
rigid investigation Will be made of
the case and an effort will be made to
discover the identity Of the companion
Of Summer on his fatal ride, and have
him come to Kenosha to testify before
the coroner's jury.

STORM DOES DAMAGE
Great Wind Storm on Lake Plays
Havoc Along the Beach


The north east storm which prevailed
on the lake Thursday evening proved to
be one Of the worst storms know on
the lake in this district in many months
and all along the lake vessels were fore
ed to seek shelter The storm had been
predicted by the weather departments
at both Milwaukee and Chicago and
most of the vessels remained in port
and only few were caught out. So
far as can be learned no accidents to
any vessel is reported in the neighbor-
hood of Kenosha.
The wind which attained the velocity
OF sixty miles an hour during the night
dashed the lake into a fury and great
waves are still breaking over the pro-
tections along the water front. At
places along the lake shore where there
was no protection considerable damage
was done. The waves broke over tie
partially completed protection at the
foot of Ohio and Indiana streets caus-
ing considerable loss to the property
owners while at the foot of Balm avenue
it is claimed that the storm carried
away more than ten feet Of ground.
Joseph Bendt, the contractor, had just
completed the building Of a concrete
protection for the outlet Of the sewer
at the foot Of Balm avenue and this
was torn out by the storm entailing a
loss of over 5000 to the contractor.
Mr.. Bendt also owns a portion of the
land which was badly damaged by the
continued beating of the waves.
The storm was received with a great
deal of pleasure by most of the people
of the city as it brought relief from
the extreme heat Of Thursday. Many
Of the factories in the city were forced
to shut down departments on Thursday
afternoon on account of the heat and
several prostrations were reported last
night. Thursday was the hottest day
so far recorded this summer in Keno
sha the mercury reaching the 60 mark
early in the afternoon aud remaining
above 80 until after sun down. The
weather man declares that the cooler
weather will remain for several days
and that fair weather with east winds
will be the program until Sunday at
least.

BOYS SET FIRE TO BARN

The barn of James Jensen at 1857
Prairie avenue was badly damaged by
fire just before five o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, the loss being in the neigh
borhood Of $3.50 with insurance fully
covering The loss. At the time the fire
broke out a load of hay was standing
near the barn and portion Of it had
been placed in the hay NOW. Some
boys playing about the hay lighted
matches and set fire to the portion of
the load remaining on the wagon. The
flames were rapidly communicated to
the barn. The fremen responded
promptly but the fire had such head
way that it was impossible to get it
under control before the loss had been
caused.

List of Personal Assessments for
New Year Shows Large In.
crease Over Last Year
FACTORIESIN AT SAME FIGURE
Large Increase is Shown in Estates Re
Gently Probated in the County
Court-Tax Levy May Not
Be Boosted This Year

The assessors of the city have prac-
tically completed the work Of making
the assessment for the year and it is
certain when the amounts are figured
UP the assessment will be at least a
million dollars greater than it was in
the previous year. The assessment of
the real estate in the city is slightly
increased over last year, but in most
cases the assessment is the same as last
year and the increase is due to the
fact that considerable new territory has
been added to the city. The increase
in the assessment comes in the per-
sonal property. Early in the year one
Of the biggest plants in the city sent
in a statement showing a greatly re-
duced assessment but within the past
few days the officials Of the company
appeared before the Board of Review
end consented to having the assessment
for personal property placed at the
same figures as last year. Several Of
the big industrial plants in the city
have made material increase in build
ings during the past year and this will
all be added to the new assessment roll.
The list of personal assessment in
which the amounts are in excess Of ten
thousand dollars are as follows:
