Don't Care for Job Of Deputy Came
Warden but Won't Be Kicked
Out of Office Now
TELLS STATE WARDEN FACTS
State Warden Stcre States That john
Mutz Has Been Put on as
Game Warden Without
Compensation

Michael +. Kleist who has served as
a deputy game warden in this section
of the state in a rather acceptable
manner for several years, is looking
pretty close into the appointment of
John MUTT as a deputy for Kenosha
county as it has been limited that the
appointment of Mutz is sooner or later
to bring about the laying off of
Kleist. The latter admits that he is
not making any money as game warden
and that he was better off when he &C
cepted the job than he is at present,
but he insists that he sees a political
job behind the naming of MUTT that
has caused him to believe that some
one is after his scalp and for that rea-
son Mike is going to fight and if neces-
sary show up the whole political game.
Kleist managed to get Game Warden
John Stone of Madison on the long dis
tance phone Monday afternoon and
Stone informed him that MUTT had
been appointed as "deputy without
compensation. - This. struck Kleist
as new wrinkle in Wisconsin game
wardens and he took the matter up at
length with the state official and the
latter saw that the conversation was
getting a little too warm for the tele-
phone and told Kleist to put it in
writing and send it along and he would
read it over an an ice box or some
other cool place. Kleist then sent
four page letter which he admitted
was Of the decidedly sizzling kind.
Kleist is said to be pretty well liked
in the Office of the state game warden
and it is thought that his revelations
may cut some figure in getting an in
vestigation into some things that have
been done in this part of the state.
Kleist doesn't mind discussing the mat
ter at all and he has lot of things
to say in regafd to the effort to get
rid of him which will undoubtedly
make some interesting reading when
they are finally handed out to the pub
lie. Klelst insists that all this about
Mutz is due to the fact that he was
so bold as to insist on being a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for sheriff against the orders Of some
Of the men who had held high places
in the party and he declares that these
men have brought about the naming
Of Mutz without compensation just
to show the state that it can save
money by doing away with Kleist.
Game Warden Stone has promised to
look into the matter just as soon as he
received the letter from Kleist which
should reach Madison this morning and
it is just possible that the attention
Of the State Game Warden S depart
ment will be looking toward Kenosha
for the next few days.
The deputy warden seems to be very
much in earnest over this matter and
he declares that he is ready and will
ing to put up a good fight to retain
his position even though he is not MAX
ing any money holding it. Kleist is
settled on one thing and that is that
he is not going to be scalped or kicked
out without scalping some one else at
the same time

The hearing of Harvey 7. Wells, the
Kenosha bank clerk, was not taken up
in the united States Court in Milwau-
l1ee on Monday and it will not be TAX
en- up until the latter part of this
month. This agreement was reached

wife, his attorney John G. Slater and
the United States District Attorney
and after the hearing had been ar
ranged for, the matter was left into
the hands of the attorneys for the two
parties and they will set the date for

in regard to the reason for the DELAY
more than that Mrs. Wells had Just

Police and Fire Commission Lays
Down Stringent Rule Against
Police Officers Drinking
NAY ENTER SALOONS ON DUTY
Commissioners Order the Chief to
Read Regulations to the Patrol
men Regularly and Demand
That They Be Followed

In dropping Joseph A. Biennemann,
formerly desk sergeant from the Ke
nosha police force on Monday after
noon, the Police and Fire Commission
put themselves on record as demanding
a literal observance of the rules laid
down for the government of the con
duet of police officers in the city and
the rules were ordered read to the
members of the force by the chief and
he was instructed to report all in
fringements of these rules to the
Board at once, In his testimony be-
fore the Board Officer Biennemann adj
mitted that he drank in saloons while
on duty and said that he had heard the
rules read some time ago. It is the
plan of the Commission to have these
rules brought prominently before the
officers and let them understand that
the rules as printed refer to every mem
Der Of the department from the chief
to the men in charge of the patrol
wagon, and in the future all men
found in saloons while on duty will
be liable to expulsion from the force
The members of the Commission stated
that they were determined to have
this portion of the regulations lived
up to to the very letter and the chief
will receive a formal communication
from the president Of the Commission
directing that more attention be paid
to having the patrol men Informed as
to the regulations. It was stated at
the meeting of the Board that com
plants Of drinking while in uniform
and while on duty had been received
in regard to several of the members
Of the force and the chief was directed
to watch the movement Of these officers
with the greatest care in the future
The Board also discussed the matter
of neglect of duty on the part Of some
Of the officers and demanded that all
of the men on the force be required
to give all the time called for to the
people of the city. The question of
suspensions was taken up, but the
Board declared that nothing was
gained by suspending man or by fin
ing him portion Of the pay and in the
future a violation Of the regulations
will be cause for dismissal from the
force
/ The Board is determined to see to
it that every man on the Kenosha
police force gives the city the time
that is paid for and while the mem
bers of the Commission will not seek
to interfere with his personal liberty
at other times the police officer must
give strict accounting for the time
he is supposed to be on duty.
No one has as yet been appointed
to take the place made vacant by the
removal of Biennemann and the matter
, of putting on a man for the present
will be left in the hands of the chief
There are a number Of men on the roll
Of elgibles and the appointment Of the
chief will be made subject to thirty
days trial. IF the officer proves sat
! isfactory to the chief and to the
Board the appointment will be rati-
fed by the Board at an early meet
/ ing.

It is to be hoped that the owners
of dogs who have always complied
with the dog license ordinance will all
stand firm this year and refuse to pay
up unless the ordinance is enforced
against all alike. The ordinance is a
good ordinance and it's proper enforce
ment would rid the city of hundreds of
useless dogs whose existence is a
menace to the peace of mind if not
to the lives Of many of our people, but
it is an imposition to take the money
of the few conscientious dog owners
when there is not the slightest inten-
ton on the part of the city officials
to enforce the ordinance. Further
more unless the ordinance is to be en-
force it had better be repealed. There
are enough dead laws on the books
now, the non enforcement of which
tends to give the people contempt
for all laws, without deliberately add
ing to the number.

''The farmers are rich-neVer more
so-and they ascribe their riches to
Mckinley, Roosevelt and the policies
of the Republican party
Thus writes a correspondent from
the Middle West, and his words doubt
less cover the situation throughout all
the west. The farmers know that their
present fourishing condition is due to
the Republican policies of building up
American industry, of developing and
improving every branch of agriculture
and of adding to the farmers oppor-
tunities for self-culture and for keep
ing in touch with current events and
the markets Of the world by the rural
free delivery system.
The farmer knows that what Repub-
hcan administrations have done for the
farmer cost money, and he sees that
expenditure denounced in the Bryan
platform as unnecessary and waste
full. Naturally, the farmer prefers
the Republican party, whose policies
made him comfortable and independent
and proposes to vote for William Ii.
Taft, the Republican candidate for
president of the United States, who,
with the cooperation Of Republican
Congress will continue the condition
of the American farmer even better
than it is now
That is one reason why the west is
for Taft and Sherman.

1t is hard to understand why the
Milwaukee merchants have never made
any special effort to get their share
of the trade that goes out of Kenosha.
There is no excuse for the trace going
out of town at all and most Of the buy
ing could be done much better right
here at home than in the big clues,
but SO long as it is going out of this
city we would prefer to see it go to
Milwaukee. The money would stay in
our own state then, anyway.

There is vet time for the completion
Of all the unfinished paving contracts
before the cold weather stops the work.
The contractors may have to put on

people Of this city who have spent
large amounts in paving work in the
last few years and expect to spend a
great deal more.

The full figures on the assessment
are now in and the assessment is gen
orally regarded as satisfactory, but it
shows on it's face that some of the
towns need looking after a little. The
decrease in Pleasant Prairie is exz

to the city, but when two of the other
towns show decreases there is some
thing wrong somewhere.

The teachers in the public schools
are perfectly well aware of the fact
that many children are sent to school
too young and at an age when the
confinement of the school room to say
nothing Of the simplest task, taxes the
strength of the child dangerously and
arrests his development, but what can
they dos They are obliged to receive
all children sent to the schools and the
we'll meant advice of the teachers to
the parents in regard to children is SO
often taken by the parents as an at
tempt on the part Of the teacher to
shirk her duties that experienced
teachers seldom interfere in any way
with their charges outside of the regu-
lar routine of school work. It is GER
tain, however, that the experienced
teachers will welcome any movement
on the part of the board of education
or the medical society that tends to
raise the average age of the pupils
in the primary grades.

The Kenosha Lake Shore League
team wound up it's season on Sunday
with victory over the strong Sheboy-
gan team and the game proved to be
one Of the most brilliant ever played
on the Kenosha diamond The score
was five to two, but the Sheboygan
team failed to cross the plate until
the last innings The locals were play.
ing great ball and Pulse pitched a de-
cidedly fast game allowing but five
hits and striking out nine men. Time
and again he pitched himself out Of
tight places and the only thing that
allowed Sheboygan to score was the
two base hit Of Modem in the ninth
inning which brought in the two runs.
Reilly the much talked of Sheboy-
gan pitcher proved to be easy meat
and before Leibl took him out at the
end Of the sixth inning the Kenosha
batters had hit out eight safe ones and
had punched them in such way as
to convert them into four runs. Then
holden the star Of the Sbeboygan
team went in and he allowed three hits
in the remaining innings of the game,
but in the first of his innings Kenosha
got run. Dr.
.Knipple, Lang, Collins and Laabs all
fattened up their batting averages to
the extent of couple of hits each
and Laabs got a two Dagger. 4.
The crowd was a decidedly large
one considering the late season and
the game was one to theirl liking.
The Kenosha boys got busy early
and in the first inning Collins jcracked
out hit and managed to get round
to third on a sacrifice by Lang, scoring
a minute later when Knipple sent a
single to deep right. In the. fourth
Kenosha added another on two
Dagger by Laabs and a clean hit by
Knipple. In the fifth things went bad
for Mr. Reilly. Wallace hit the first
ball up for a single and Pulse flew out
to the short stop. Colbert struck out,
but Kenosha never lost heartn as the
head Of the batting list was up. Col
Inns sent single over third base which
took Wallace to third and singles by
Lang and Laabs in rapid succession
scored both of the runners
In the sixth when holden came into
the box Riley started things going
with a scratch single and managed to
steal second in time to score on a
clean hit by Wallace.
In the ninth with one man out
Mauch drew q base on balls and Hop
kins advanced him with hit. Then
holden came up and made hit to
the fence scoring both of them. The
next man up was an easy out and the
game was over.
The Kenosha players put up a great
game in the field and the only error
was credited to- Colbert and it was an
| excusable one. He tried to spear q
line drive and failed, but the man
never got past first base.
Sheboygan got little dangerous in
the sixth. when fielder S choice and
two bases on balls in succession filled
the bases, but Collins came to the
rescue and stopped the drive by
Mauch in time to retire him at first
without a score coming in.
