Week. k.Dem0crd-
cy is Reficenf on
the Subject

Report has Ii that the Democratic
county central committee has been
advised that Senator Newlands will
arrive here next Wednesday remain
ing until Friday morning.
This report has been current on
the street since Wednesday evening,
but has not yet received official re-
cognition in the machine organ. The
fact is attended by report that the
machine Democracy is ashamed of
Sir Francis and also fearful that his
coming will hurt the machine ticket.
There is still another story abroad
to the effect that the color question
is paramount and that until the re-
cord of the senator on this question
is cleared of certain smirches, Editor
James Quarles will not permit an
nouncement in the organ of the COM
ing of Sir Francis. That he will be
here next week seems probable,
as he started his speaking tour on
Wednesday night at Winemucca and
is headed this way on trail that is
said to have been very cold to date
and at places blocked by ice bergs.
If Sir Francis and party do arrive
on Wednesday and remain over
Thursday, the last end of the week
ought to be hummer politically.
The successor of Sir Francis will ar
rive on Thursday and that night the
gentleman will have opportunity to
shake hands across the political
chasm if they so desire. With Sir
Francis personally on deck, too, free
beer should come into larger promin-
ence than it has in the last few weeks
and a hot time generally ensue.

HILTON Is CAPTURED
Man Sought in Connection With
Freight Car Robbery Taksn
at Tacoma, Wash.
MAY BE TRIED IN THIS COUNTY
(From Fridays Daily.)

The detectives Of the Northwestern
Railway Company have rounded up
another man in the gang Of alleged rail
way thieves, who robbed cars in this
county, the man being Archie Hilton
switchman twenty seven years of age,
who is now in the County Jail Of Mil
waukee county, awaiting a hearing. It
is thought possible that he will be
brought to Kenosha but no decision
has as yet been reached as to where
he will be tried Hilton is alleged to
have been a member of the same gang
as Charles RIFT, Walter Lyons, Adolph
Moe and Peter Bubb, who were taken
into custody here many months ago,
and four of whom are now serving
terms in the state prison at Waupun.
Hilton was at the time claimed to be
one Of the ring leaders of the gang and
his capture has been brought about only
after the most strenuous effort on the
part of Detectives Green and Stuart,
Of the Railway force At the time the
arrest Of the other members of
the gang was made in Kenosha, Hill
ton escaped to Milwaukee and from
Milwaukee he was traced to Des
Moines, Iowa, and from there TO Ia
coma, Washington Detective Stuart
has never left the trail of the man and
he finally landed him at Tacoma on
January II. Since that time he has
been at work to bring him back to
Wisconsin for trial and he has sue
ceeded. There is still one warrant in
the hands Of local officers and that is
for the arrest of Archie Delaney, who
was in Salt Lake City when last heard
of, and who is said to be very critically
Ill. The detectives are now hot on the
trail Of Delaney but it is possible that
he will never be brought back to Ke-
nosha county for trial. The trial of
the recent railway cases which resulted
in a decision against the state has
caused the District Attorney and his
aids to closely consider the place where
Hilton shall be tried, and it is certain
that he will be tried in the county
in which the crime was committed In
order to allow nc loop hole for his
escape by the route Of technicalities
Hilton is well known to railway men
all along his division of the road, and
he formerly was in charge Of train
which made Kenosha daily.

OPEN NEW FIGHT
To Make Effort To Collect Subscribed
Stock of Visible Typewriter Co.

Edward @. Nve, referee in bank
rnptcy, has notified the creditors of
the Visible Typewriter Company that
there will be a special meeting of the
creditors Of the concern in Milwaukee
a week from next Monday, at which
time some action will be taken in re-
gard to the collection of the unpaid
stock subscriptions made to the defunct
company, and in regard to the interest
Of the company in certain patents which
were applied for by Sigmund Wollheim
and which were used by the company.
The trustee Of the defunct company is
planning to take up these matters on
behalf of the creditors before any de-
that any Kenosha people had subscribed
for stock in the company but it is
thought that most of these subscriptions
were made by Milwaukee capitalists.
The patents which the company con-
trolled in the name of the former pre-
sident S. Wollhenn may be very val
liable asset. Wollheim recently bought
the tools and dies of the company, and
with the patents, should they be left
in his control, he would have the better
part of the assets of the company. It
is beginning to look as if there would
be great deal of litigation in con
nection with the settlement Of the es-
tate Of the bankrupt, and it is feared
that this litigation will be of such an
expensive nature that it will largely
eat up the small amount Of assets that
have been turned over to the trustee.
No decision has as yet been made in
regard to the bonds Of the company
which were given to secure notes pro-
tecting certain creditors, and this mat
ter will probably be taken up at the
same meeting of the creditors. Chicago
men interested in these bonds have
shown a tendency to be troublesome
and it is probable that the trustee will
have a hard fight before he declares
the bonds null and void Many Of the
elalhr-sof Kenosha people against the
company were secured by notes issued
on these bonds as collateral.
