bia Turned Out of the County Jail

might have a chance to combat hydro
phobia. Before Smith left the jail his
right arm was swollen up as far as

they would have very serious case on
taeir hands. Smith declared that he
mad friends in Chicago who would see
to it thai he was properly cared for and

MADE BAD MISTAKE
Otto Rost Took Wrong Horse and Was
Arrested on Charge of Horse Stealing

Otto Rost, well known man Of the
city, got himself into Jail last night by
installing horse belonging to Thomas
Rogers of Somers for horse belonging
to Fred Elk, local livery man. Rost
had been out in the town Of Somers and
had been instructed by Elk to bring a
horse belonging to him to Kenosha and
just after noon Monday Rost came to
the Rogers farm and found horse sup
posed to be the Elk horse standing in
front Of the farm house. He jumped
into the buggy and drove leisurely to
Kenosha and turned the horse over to
a boy to take to the Elk stable.
Shortly after this Rost was arrested
and taken to Jail on a charge of horse
stealing Notwithstanding the fact that
he offered the explanation of the affair.
When Rost was arraigned before Justice
McCarron this morning his explana-
ton served to secure his release from
custody.
In the meantime the Elk horse is still
to be found and the Rogers horse is at
the Elk stable.

CONTRACT rs LET
Certified Checks Are Returned to I'm
successful Bidders on Wednesday


The contract for the new government
building in Kenosha has been let, but
it is yet a mystery SO far as Postmaster
Maloney and the employees of the Ke-
nosha Office are concerned. It is suppos
ed that the contract was let to the
GAINESVILLE firm which sent the lowest
bid for the building, but no word has
been received. The assurance that the
contract has been let is found in the
fact that yesterday K. P. Knudsen Of
this city who bid on the building re-
ceived from the supervising architect
the certified check which he had fled
with his bid Under the rules for the
bidding, notice was served on all bid
ders that the certified checks Of the
bidders would not be returned until af-
ter the contract was let and the sue
cessful contractor had fled his bond.
AS there are still two months of build
ing weather it is supposed that the con-
tractors will start the work on the
building this fall and get the excava-
tions and possibly the foundations com
pleted before the end Of the building
season. The J. P. Cullen Company Of
GAINESVILLE, presented the lowest bid and
it is supposed that the contract has
been let to this company.

END rs NOT YET
Washington Attorney to Make Another
Attempt to Open Durkee Estate

The end has not been reached as yet
in the efforts to collect on the old Dur
kee claim notwithstanding the recent
action of the United States Court
County Judge Slosson this morning re-
ceived letter from Attorneys Isaac
R. Hit and Isaac R. Hit, Jr., of Wash
ington, seeking to reopen the old elaiR
and asking that all information in re-
gard to the Durkee estate be forwarded
to them at once. Judge Slosson has
about tired of wasting his time in copy
ing the records of the old Durkee estate
and it is probable that he will have to
be shown some reason for re-opening
this matter before the copies are for
warded to the Washington attorneys
