Trial fegins

Special to the Fitzgerald Enterprise.
New York, Jan. 9th. 1908
There was a sensation in court at
the beginning of the second trial OF
Harry X. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White, when one bund
red talesmen whose names have
been published in the news papers
were sumarily dismissed by
Justice Bowling. Some of tie
dismissed talcsmen complied that
they had been annoyed by dectiyes
since their names were published.
The clerk called the Thaw case at
eleven thirty seven. Atty. Peabody
for Thaw announced insanity as
his line of defense.
Most of the immediate reala-
tions Of 1'haw were present except
his mother who is seriously ill at
her home in Pittsburg and Count
ess Yarmouth his sister who is de-
tanned in England by her own do
nestle troubles.
Martin Littleton the brilliant
Southerner occupies the place OF
Dolphin Delmas as the leading
counsel for the defence while state
Attorny Jerome is personally di-
recting the forces of the prosecu-
ton. The interest at the opening

throng early surrounded the tombs

investigated. AS result they
will hold Higgins ON the charge
of doing business i'll Athens with
out a license. Chief McKie swOre
out two warrants against him be-
fore Judge Foster yesterday after
noon and the young man was i'm
mediately brought before the court
ON the question of bond.
Judge Foster placed the bond in
the case of giving liquor to a minor
at two hundred dollars. the usual
bond required in such cases under
the old law. In the other case,
which is a violation of the state
prohibition law, Judge Foster
placed the bond at one thousand
dollars.
In placing this latter bond at
the maximum figure, Judge Foster
remarked that it was the desire of
the community TO enforce this
law, that the courts had stated
that they expected to impose max
imum penalties on all violators,
and that he felt it his duty to
make the bond as heavy as the
tino would be in case Of conviction.
Higgins stated that he had no
intention Of violating any law,
that he thought he was within the
limits of the law of the state in
what he did. lie said that the
samples of liquor were sent as
New Years gifts from his firm,
and that they so stated on the
wrappers. He gave them away as
New Years gifts and not to induce
trade.
The chief of police has the names
of quite a number Of witnesses,
they having been found by Capt
Heard, who was sent to inVestl-
gate fully after the arrest had been
made. There will be several wit
nesses to testify that the young
man gave them drinks and several
to testify that he gave them bot
ties of this Whiskey.
Higgins that he gave several
negroes drinks to carry his litera-
ture around for him.
The arrest of this young man
brings on the question carly in
the game as to whether the city
and the state are to be run over
bv the outside liquor houses. 1t
promises to be a battle royal and
the outcome will be awaited with
interest.

Arrested for Violation
Of Prohibition Law.

| ~ AA0O tSA Wv IVA hOAASAOAA Va
the prohibition law in Athens was
made yesterday afternoon.
Arson Higgins. young man
from Chattanooga, representing
the liquor house of E. B. Gibson,
of that city, is the young man who
is held to answer that charge.
There have been sworn out two
warrants against Higgins, one
charged him with giving liquor to
a minor and the other with giving
liquor at q public place. Both are
violations Of the law of the state.
Bond has been required of Hug
gins in the sum of two hundred
dollars in the case Of giving liquor
to minor, and in the sum of one
thousand dollars for giving liquor
away at a public place.
This young man came to Athens
Thursday afternoon. He came
evidently with instructions from
his house just how far to go, and
it appears that he stepped a little
beyond their instructions. 1t is
believed that they told him not to
give away the liquor in public
places, understanding, of course,
that such would be violation of
the law.
He had evidently been at his
business but a few hours yesterday
morning when Chief McKie got on
to his work and set the trap to
catch him.
Officer bearing Hill was put on
his track and about one O'Clock
yesterday afternoon arrested him
at the Central depot where he had
been giving away samples of rye
liquor.
Higgins had with him q quaint
ity of literature setting forth the
qualities Of the Gibson liquor and
telling the advantages of buying
from that firm. This literature C
was distributing throughout the
city. The police have found at
least one order that has been sent
out to Chattanooga as a result of
the advertising.
Higgins was also giving away
small bottles of Whiskey as sam
pies. The bottles contained about
one quarter of a pint of rpe wills
key, being samples Of the goods
advertised in the literature.
In giving away his samples he
gave one bottle to a young man
about eighteen years of age, there
by laying himself liable to the
charge of giving whiskey to a
minor, which in this state is mis-
dcmcanor.
He is also charged with giving
several bottles away in the Cen
trail depot, and therefore subjects
himself to the charge eff furnishing
liquor in a public place, which is
q violation Of the state prohibition

LONG ON GOATS
Deputy Sheriff Werve of Orchard Knoll
Has Three Goats in Custody

Orchard Knoll is long on goats. So
long in fact that it has been necessary
for Deputy Sheriff Werve, who repre-
s9nts the majesty Of the law in that
section to put three of them under ar
rest and they are now in custody in a
barn waiting for the district attorney
to, get busy and prosecute. Saturday
night and Sunday the goats, which are
said to belong to one of the Italians at
Orchard Knoll, had a field meet in
which several people were attacked and
driven from the street. The goats
have become SO persistent in their at
tacks that it is claimed that some Of the
people fear to 60 out on the streets
District Attorney Baker states that he
is looking up the law on goats and that
he will act in the matter when he is
satisfied as to what action should be
taken. In the meantime Orchard Knoll
will be kept safe by keeping the goats
locked up.

COMING TO KENosHA
Famous Rife Shots to Give Exhibition
For the Kenosha Gun Club Soon

Nh. and Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, of
ISan Antonio, Texas, the celebrated
'marksmen, will give an exhibition of
expert and fancy shooting at the
grounds of the Kenosha Gun Club on
June 16, $3.50 p. m. This exhibition
will be well worth an effort to see, as
mo such marvellous shooting has ever
been done in this section. 1t will be
a revelation to all of the wonderful
possibilities of modern arms and am
munition in the hands of experts. Mr..
.Topperwein is the acknowledged dean
of fancy and trick shots, his many
feats being Of highly sensational
character. Mrs. Topperwein is without
Ia peer among women in this line of
work.
During the Wolrd s Fair in st. Louis,
ITopperwein broke 3,5O7 flying targets
without miss. Another feat perform
ed by him was to hit IS out of 100 215
inch targets thrown in the air, he doing
the shooting while riding at full speed
in an automobile.
During ten days in December 1907,
Topperwein shot at 1880 2A inch
wooden blocks, scoring 72,491, only 8
misses. He lost only 4 out of the first
10000.
Mrs. Topperwein, is without doubt,
one of the premier lady shots of the
world.

GETS CHICAGO FELLOWSHIP
Edwin S. Bishop, Son Of Senator Isaac
T. Bishop Gets High Honors

A telegram received in Kenosha this
morning states that Edwin S. Bishop,

of the town Of Somers, and former
lstudent of the Kenosha High School
and the old University School here, has
been named by the Regents Of the State
University at Madison as fellow in
the University of Chicago for the COM
ing year. The honor is one of the high
est that can be conferred by the Re-
gents Of the University. Tt carries
with it a goodly financial consideration
and at the same time places Mr.. Bishop
in a place to secure much higher honors.
Mr.. Bishop graduated from the Univer-
sity School here in 1898 and was gradu-
ated from the University of Wisconsin
four years later. For the past two
years he has been in charge Of the de-
partments Of physics and manual train

ITALIANS SW|NDLED
Smooth SwindIer Claiming to Rep.
resent New York Co. Lands
Victims in Kenosha
ADVANCE MONEY FOR FREIGHT

Several Italian merchants in Kenosha
are making efforts to find traces Of a
smooth swindler who recently worked
in Kenosha who claimed to be a repre-
sentative of the Florence Distilling
Company of New York City and as fa1
as can be learned the man s work in
Kenosha for half day Melted him
$50. The mans game was an old one
but it seems to have worked to perfec-
tion and the district attorney who has
been appealed to by the Italians will
undoubtedly have hard time locating
him. The man whose name is unknown
hit Kenosha several weeks ago and the
Italians have just discovered that they
were swindled.
| He stated that the New York concern
which he represented while distillery
dealt largely in groceries which were
peculiarly salable at Italian stores and
to italian people. The man was a
smooth talker and he managed to talk
the local merchants out of $50 and they
are now awaiting the arrival of orders
amounting to something like $3.50. The
fellow informed the Italians that their
credit was good and this was further
linducement for them to invest. He told
them that the goods would be shipped
subject to their approval, but that in
order to make sure that the freight
would be paid he asked each Of the four
dealers to put up $40. The goods had
been sold to them at rate which would
make Montgomery Ward and Sears Roe
buck green with envy and for this
reason the Italians were anxious to take
the chance of putting up the money fol
the freight. After waiting a week to
hear from the orders the Italians got
into communication with New York
only to find that there was no such a
company as the Florence Distilling Com.
pany. Since that time they have been
comparing notes and they are now unit
ed in an effort to locate the bogus
agent and if possible have him placed
in some institution where it will not
be as easy for him to prey on the sus.
ceptible store keepers for the Italians
There is little doubt but that the man
has made good his escape and the Ke.
nosha officials are not very hopeful OF
locating him. It is probable that the
Kenosha Italians can charge the $50
to profit and loss and take advantage
Of the education and experience they
have gained.

Kenosha and Milwaukee Lake Shore
League teams met for the opening game
of the season Sunday afternoon and
Milwaukee took the game by score
of two to nothing. The game was one
of the poorest exhibitions of the ma
tional game ever seen on local dia-
mond and it emphasized the fact that
some Of the old land marks on the Ke-
nosha team have outlived their useful
ness and if Manager Breen expects to
do business in Kenosha as he has done
in the past, to use the vernacular, it
will be necessary for him to "can" a
number of the old timers and get some
live base ball players. 1t is claimed
that several of the men are in a league
and that if one goes all go. 1t is up
20 Breen to let them all go for it is
pretty certain that an infeld could be
picked up in Kenosha that would do
just as well as Laabs, Knipple and
Klopf. Sam Feiting is a good fielder
but it is seldom that he gets hit and
it might be just as well for Breen to
look up a hard hitting third baseman
at the same time. The work of Laabs
outs at second was disgusting and the
manner in which Knipple famed out
twice at critical moments of the game
Sunday should have been enough to
give him his walking papers. Klopf
had four errors out Of eight chances
and this is getting pretty close to the
limit.
The game Sunday was lost simply
because the Kenosha players felded
raggedly and failed to hit the ball
Smith pitched a good game and allow.
ed butathree hits. He was unfortunate
in hitting Barutha which error made
the first score of the Milwaukee team
possible. The last score of the Milwau-
kee team was due solely to an mex
cusable error by Klopf.
There was little to be featured in the
game on Sunday save the pitching of
Pape and Smith. Both boys were in
great form and pitched fine ball, but
Pape had the support and Smith did
not, Several times Kenosha should
have scored, but when these times came
the batters either famed or laid the
ball in the hands of one of the Milwau.
kee felders. The game was enlivened
by some daring base running on the
part Of Roddy and Henderson, but for
the greater part of the game there was
little solace for Kenosha fans save in
the pitching of Smith. The Milwaukee
team gots it's first run in the fourth
when Harvey got a hit and was advanc-
ed to second by Barutha being hit by
the ball. He scored on the hit by
Kopling.
Milwaukee scored again in the seventh
when K1opf's error allowed Koliseck
to reach first and he scored on the
two base hit by Pape which followed.
Three times during the game Kenosha
had men on third base, but not one of
them could get home on account of the
stupid batting of the Kenosha players.
The score of the game follows: s4
