Joseph Bizlk Met Death in Pike
River While Bathing Just
North Of Sanitarium
CALLS FOR HELP IN VAIN

Joseph Bizik, Lithuanian laborer,
p years of age, was drowned in the
waters Of Pike River just before eight
CLOCK Friday evening. The body was
recovered later in the night and the
coroner's jury this morning returned
verdict of accidental drowning.
Blk resided at II Ashland avenue
and had been employed as a laborer
in the Allen tannery. just after seven
0 clock last night with a party Of four
friends he went to the river to go bath
ing The man was the gayest member
of the party and the five men were
splashing about in the shallow water
near the shore Of the river, when Bizik
more daring than the rest walked out
into the center of the stream. None Of
the members Of the party could swim
and none of them believed that the
water of the river was deep enough for
fatal accident. Bizik stepped off into
hole where the water was twelve
feet deep and while struggling in the
water he shouted to his companions for
aid but they fed to the shore. A boy
by the name Of Mahoney who was on
the shore leaped into the water in an.
effort to save the drowning man, but it
lis declared by witnesses that Bizick
went down head first and never came
up again.
AS soon as possible the members Of
the Life Saving Station were called
and after dragging the river for more
than two hours the remains of the han
were found few feet from where he
went down. Notwithstanding the long
time that he had been in the water
the remains were taken out on the shore
and for more than half an hour the
life savers worked over the remains in
an effort to bring pack life. Then the
remains were turned over to the under
takers and taken to the Miller & Cos
grove morgue where the inquest was
held this morning. The dead man had
worked in Kenosha for several years
and was we'll known among the Lith-
uanians in the city lie has sister
living in Racine but no relatives in this
county.
This is the second drowning to occur
at the mouth Of the river in the past
few years. Robert Shimmick having
been drowned at practically the same
spot two years ago.

TO SUE CITY

Clayton Lucas, the we'll known young
man q the town of Bristol, who was
arrested some time ago in connection
with burglary at the home Of John
Hegeman on Ashland avenue, has re-
tanned Attorney George w. Taylor to
demand damages from the city for false
arrest. Lucas was in no way connected
with the~burglary and it is admitted
THAI the police had no evidence against
him. He was however, held in jail for
over twenty-four hours and his rela-
tives in Bristol insist that he be vindi-
Gated. Attorney Taylor stated this
morning that he has not as yet started
the suit, but that Lucas had retained
him and that he would demand proper
vindication. It is pretty certain that a
suit will be the only way to properly
bring the matter before the courts.

NEED A RECEIVER
State Insurance Commissioner Makes
Hit Against Great Western Life Co.

State Insurance Commissioner Beedle
Of Madison has issued a statement
which declares that the Great Western
Life Insurance Company, which holds
many risks in this city, is insolvent and
that the company will probably go into
the hands of receiver.
Commissioner Beedle's statement to
the policyholders is as follows:
For some time it has been general
ly known that the affairs of the Great
Western Life Insurance company of
Kansas City, Mo-, were in a question
able condition, but as examination Of
the concern was in progress by the Mis-
souri, insurance department, information
that we decided to give the Wisconsin
pollcyholders has been held pending
the report of the Missouri department.
State Insurance superintendent W.
d. Van Diver of Missouri has just made
Epuolic the report of the examination
OF the Great Western, and [ am con
WINGED that company is hoDelessIy IN
solvent and that transactions of crimi-
nal nature have occurred under the di-
ERECTION Of former officials and with
their connivanoe. The company s af-
fairs will doubtless be wound up by a
receiver and policies of over $20,000,00O
will be reinsured in some reliable com
pany. There is very likely considera-
BILE amount on hand, and with deposits
made by the company with the Mis-
| soun insurance department, there will
doubtless be sufficient to pay all claims
and poicyholders are not apt to lose
anything as all business has been writ
ten within year and on the prelimi-
nary term plan, there being no reserve
or cash value to policies as YETI

FIND BABES BODY

Remains of a New Born Child Picked
Up on the Lake Shore Near Zion City
Friday afternoon boys playing on the
beach south of Twenty ninth street,
Zion City saw the body Of a baby lying
near the edge Of the water and notified
the police who took it to Undertaken
Hopkins place. Coroner Taylor held
an inquest, but nothing definite was
learned on the matter.
The child was apparently about a
seven months child, prematurelt born
and had been in the water for some
days.
The coroner and police are unable to
gain any knowledge as to the where
abouts of the child S mother and the
general feeling in Zion is that the babe
was an illigitimate offspring and that
possibly an operation was performed on
passing steamer and thrown into the
lake, the tiny body floating to shore at
Zion after remaining in the water the
required length Of time.
1t is possible it was thrown into the
lake at Kenosha and foated to Zion, but
this contention is secuted because the
wind has not been in the right direction
for some days to carry it to that point
from here.
The Zion officials are firm in believ-
ing that it is not Zion product. The
child was buried this afternoon in Zion.
James Sprinkler, a garner and Frank
Paxton, II year old boy, both living
in Zion City, were the ones to discover
the body of the child.

M|ss0ULA COPPER Co. S WORK
Assessment Of One Cent to Provide
Necessary Working Capital

"A continuance of the Independence
tunnel Will be run by the Missoula
Copper company to catch the main
ledge while at the same time cross.
cut Will be driven to tap the south
ledge which is believed to have
faulted.
This was decided on at
meeting of the directors at Null
Ian last week 1t was also decided
TO levy an assessment of one cent a
share on the outstanding stock to
carry on this work. A circular max
ing the announcement to stockhold-
ers Will be sent out at once.
In the upper tunnel last summer
80 feet of low grade ore was cut
into. In order to save driving $50
feet of tunnel the company made ar
rangements with the independence
to use that company's tunnel and by
extending 1t 80 feet it was expect
ed the ore body would be tapped
at a depth of 100 feet.
This tunnel has already been ex-
tended 1853 feet and the ledge has
not been cut. The belief Is that the
ledge faulted before 1t reached the
depth of the tunnel
1t has been decided to continue the
Independence tunnel for 400 feet
more to cut the north ledge at a
depth of 400 feet. In the mean
time short crosscut will be run to
try and catch the faulted lead.
The company has spent $31,624
In machinery, equipment and devel.
so far and has 224,OOO
shares in the treasury. 1t was de.
,ided not to put this treasury stock
IN the market at the present low
prices prevailing and the assessment
was accordingly levied.

START WORK ON the MAST0OON
Will Run Drift 900 Feet to Get
Depth on Lead

Development operations on the
Mastodon- -Coeur d'Alene Mining
company's property on Slate creek
and near the line Of the Milwaukee,
will be resumed at once, according
to the statement Of w. Lloyd Scott,
of Pittsburg, who was in the city
last week. The last development
was through 300-foot crosscut
tunnel. The new work will be the
running of a drift about 900 feet
which will give good depth on the
lead. The property is a gold, silver
and lead proposition.
Mr.. Scott engaged six men to get
the work started. Arthur Dagiel
will be in charge Of the work this
summer.
The Mastodon- Occur d'Alene is
on the west fork Of Slate creek, six
miles from the route of the Mil
waukee.
An S-foot drift was run for ex-
ploration purposes near the top last
year and opened up fair carbonate
ore. The vein shows gold from the
top and in the outcropping is some
silver ore.
A 300-foot crosscut was run al
year ago to tap the vein under the
most promising part of the outcrop.
The property was examined re-
Gently by Irving Anderson and fol-
lowing his report plans were made
for the drift. The tunnel will be
started right in on the Gaping, a
site having been selected. 1t will
be 800 feet long, and give depth
Of 600 feet.
The property consists Of II un-
patented claims. #

FAN FOR THE BLACK TRAVELLER

A fan is being installed at the
Black Traveller Copper company's
property near Saltese.
A long crosscut tunnel is being
driven to tap both leads of the prop
erty at depth. The tunnel has been
driven more than $50 feet since the
work was started in October It
is estimated that 400 feet more Of
tunnel work will catch the first lead
while the second lead is located
about $50 feet further on.
There are two parallel leads in
the property one being about 100
feet in width and the other 20. In
the upper tunnel the smaller lead
was exposed at depth of 100 feet
and assays OF ore gave returns OF
more than 3 per cent in copper with
some gold and silver values.
