KenOsha EpWorth League Camp at
Paddock's Lake Wrecked by
Wind Storm Monday
MANY HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Tents Occupied by the Young People
Are Wrecked and Two Members
of the Party Injured by
the Falling Poles
(From Tuesdays Daily)


There was excitement plenty for a
large number of well known Kenosha
young people who are at the Epworth
League Camp at Paddocks Lake last
night when a wind storm, which at
times rose to the dignity of cyclone,
struck the camp demolishing the tents
and the members of the tent colony
were fortunate to escape with few in
juries Four Of the five tents were de-
molished by the storm and men and
women were forced to sit around in the
driZzling rain for hours until the men
in the party could repair the damage
Of the storm. Chester Ozanne and
James HI. Karnes, Jr., were slightly in
jured during the storm by being struck
by falling tent poles, but their injuries
were not Of a serious nature
The storm, which was one of the
most severe ever known in Kenosha
county, passed over the Paddock and
Hooker Lake region just after seven
o 'clock and it left path of ruin in it's
wake. The terrific wind came up from
the southwest and it seemed to center
about the homes of the CAMPERS on the
northeast side of the lake. At the
time of the coming of the storm the
members Of the camp, some sixteen in
number and all we'll known Kenoshans,
were seated at the supper table and be-
fore they had a chance to discover the
fury of the storm one of the tents had
been thrown down. Members of the
camp made heroic efforts to prevent the
tents being carried into the lake by
the storm, but they were only partially
successful and when the storm was past
but one of the tents was left standing
and it was badly damaged The two
men injured had made a heroic effort
to save one of the big tents during the
storm, but it went down and the men
were struck by the poles. Louis Rahr,
who was one of the party who went to-
the rescue, had narrow escape from
injury.
Three Of the members of the party
whose names could not be secured this
morning, were cut on the lake when the
storm came up and they had a very
strenuous time getting to the shore.
After the storm had abated another of
the boats was found overturned, but
the roll was called and it was found
that none of the members of the camp
had been in the boat.
The ladies of the party suffered
severe nervous strain, resulting from
their narrowing experiences, being com
pletely drenched by the heavy rain.
Much Of the stores of the camp were
swept away by the rain and some of
the members came to Kenosha this
morning to- secure new stores. It was
stated that the campers are game and
Notwithstanding the experiences of
Monday evening they will remain in
camp.
The storm was exceedingly severe
in western end of the county and tele-
phone communication is cut off to many
places. No serious damages are report
ed as yet but it is thought that the
belated reports will bring news of other
losses

Kenosha Fight Sports Get Double
1cross in ConIey.0' Conne|I
Fight Friday Night
C0NLEY WAS BOOKED TO LOSE
Kenosha italian However Battered Up
His Opponent in Such a Way
That the Referee Declared
the Fight Draw

Kenosha fight fans had the finest
gan on Friday night when Frank Con-
ley and Jeff O'Connell met before the
Cubs Athletic Club in that city and
Conley got the finest robbing ever Civ
ing to any fighter in this section of
the country. 1t is openly asserted that
if James j. Jeffries and any Waukegan
boy of ten years would have met the
result would have been the same and
early in the afternoon the fight had
such a funny look that the Kenosha
men pulled down the money they had
bet on Conley after being assured that
the best he could get was a draw. It
was learned afterWard that there was
not a scent of money save that which
had been put by Conley s manager and
the Chicago and Waukegan pugs had
planned to divide this between them
on a sure thing proposition. Conley
got draw, but it should be said that
he had O'Connel beaten to stand
STILL The boys fought for 1925, this
being all there was in the house after
the leading sports (?) of WaukegaH
had all gone in on complimentary tic
kets. Under the agreement Conley
should have had every cent Of the
money, but it was noised about early
in the afternoon that Conley to win
would have to knock O Council out and
that even in the event Conley sent him
down for the count there would be a
cry Of "Foul' and the fight go to-
O'Connell. Conley not only out-punch-
ed, but he out-pointed O'Connell and
was so far ahead Of the Englishman
that the latter never had a chance to
win. Conley came out Of the fight with
just one mark and at the close Of the
ten rounds he was just as fresh as when
he started. The first round was an
even break, but O'Connell had the bet
ter of the second and third on points.
The fourth was even and after that
Conley simply beat O'Connell about the
ring to his hearts content. O'Connell
was groggy in the eighth, ninth and
tenth round, but Eddie Cliffe the refe-
rec took no notice Of this and declared
the bout a draw. Not cent of Keno
sha money was lost on the fight as all
bets were drawn. The preliminaries to
the windup were SO tame that they
were not worthy of mention

TO CLOSE THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Leading Grocers of City Adopt Eastern
Idea Of Weekly Half Holiday

a number Of the grocers Of the city

Guiding the stores in the Main street
district and beginning with Thursday
these stores will close every Thursday
during the summer months at 1890 D.
m. 1t is possible that the plan will be
adopted by all the stores of the city
later in the summer.
This plan was agreed upon at the
regular meeting of the Grocers' Asso-
citation held on Monday night. There
was no other business of Importance
transacted. 1t has been reported that
the grocers were to consider a plan to
have a street fair to attract country
trade to the city, but the members of
the association were Of the opinion that
Kenosha had been stung often enough
with street fairs and similar entertain
ments and the matter was not even tax
en- up.

GET THREE POCKET BOOKS
Police Officer LeGlise Finds Looted Poe.
ket Books in North Side Saloon

Police Officer Louis LeGlise found
three pocket books in a water closet
of saloon at the north end Of Milwau-
kee avenue Monday and it is supposed
that the pocket books were taken by
piclpockets on Sunday. One of them
was the purse of Rouse Harrison. The
money and other valuable had been TAX
en- by the robbers and the papers were
left in the books. Late Monday after
noon w. Ell. Silver, residing at 624 South
Chicago street reported to the police
that he had been robbed of a purse
containing valuable papers at the M.
R. and K. station and from this it
seems that an organized band of thieves
is working in the neighborhood of
the station. The police are making
every possible effort to secure the ar
rest of the members of the band.

Kenosha Medical Society Sends
Communication to Council
Urging Purer Water
FAVOR ARTESIAN WATER
Physicians Appear at the Council, But
Fail to Get a Hearing on Ac-
count of Wrangles Over
Saloon Licenses

The Kenosha County Medical Society
through it's officers last night sent to
the City Council communication urg
ing the Council to take some immediate
action in regard to furnishing purer
drinking water for the city and in the
communication the physicians declared
that there was every reason to demand
that no time be lost in making changes
in the water supply. They suggested
the use of the artesian wells, of sys-
tenn of filtration or the extension of
the intake so that it would not be re-
ceptacle for sewage. The communica-
ton to the Council was as follows:
To the Honorable the Mayor, and Mem
bers of the Common Council of the
City of Kenosha:
Gentlemen
The Kenosha County Medical Society,
at regular meeting assembled, has re-
solved to present to the notice of your
Honorable body, with respectful re-
quest for your early consideration, the
facts; that a number of cases of typ
hold fever, and other allied diseases,
are almost constantly present in Ke
nosha; that every spring and fall these
diseases appear in the form of epidem-
les, which at any time may attain for
midable dimensions and threaten the
lives of large number Of our citizens;
that in the light Of the latest scientific
knowledge it is the firm belief of all
the members of the medical profession,
that these diseases are communicated
mainly by drinking-water containing
impurities; that several analyses of the
water as it comes from our hydrants
have shown that it contains gas pro-
ducing germs and colon bacilli, which
is conclusive evidence that this water
is polluted by sewage and therefore
absolutely unfit for drinking purposes;
that the germs of typhoid fever and
other allied diseases are carried by sew
age and that while they were not spec
ifcally identified in the analyses made,
the probability of their presence in the
water cannot be disputed; that in order
to eliminate this danger to the health
and life Of our citizens, it is urgent to
provide for drinking water, in which
these dangerous impurities are not pres
emit, either by extending the intake of
our present water works, or by building
an adequate fltering plant, or both, or
by putting to use the existing artesian
wells and establishing new ones in those
localities where there are none.
