GETS UNUSUAL SENTENCE
Pearl Wilmot Arrested on Serious
Charge Goes to Rescue Home

Pearl Wilmot arrested several weeks
ago with Charles Bissell Chicago man
on a serious statutory charge got an
unusual sentence in the Circuit Court
here late Thursday afternoon when she
was sentenced to serve three months
in the Rescue Home conducted by the
Salvation Army of Chicago. She was
taken to the home last night Of course
there is no legal effect of the sentence
and it was simply an agreement be-
tween the woman and the court officials.
The records show that the woman was
released on her own recognizance. Bis
sell who was arrested with the woman
was parolled to his wife by the court
some time ago and the woman is to be
given the same chance to reform. She
went to Chicago in custody of one of
the members of the local corps IF the
Salvation Army and the officials believe
that she honestly intends to lead a new
life.
She can be brought back to Kenosha
for trial at any time should she fail to
live up to the promise made to the
court. Bissen is also liable to trial at
any time his wife sees fit to surrender
him to the officials.

MADE A GREAT HIT
Lion and the Mouse Delights Full
House at the Rhode Opera House

The Lion and the Mousse a play
that has attracted great notice in the
theatrical world, was given a splendid
presentation at the Rhode Opera House
Wednesday night and attracted to the
house one Of the largest crowds Of the
season. The producing company was
one Of the best seen in Kenosha in
many years and curtain calls were num-
erous. The cast was so perfectly Sc
lected that every member proved star.
Mr.. Everett as John Burket Ryder, dis,
vided the honors Of the evening with
Miss Donnelly who took the difficult
role of Shirley Rossmore in a decidedly
clever and pleasing manner. The
scenic arrangements for the production
were exceptionally good.

ON LOOKOUT FOR sW1NDLER
Clever Magician Who Shifts Bills
In Making Purchases

Kenosha jewelers. have been warned
to look out for swindler who has de-
frauded jewellers from New York to
Minneapolis out of large sums of
money.
His method is to pay for pur-
chase with roll Of bills, in which are
several 81 bills. When the ieweler
counts the bills he finds that there is
ST. short.
The customer counts the bills again
and acknowledges his mistake, return
ing the "roll'' with a silver dollar to
make up the correct amount.
In handling back the money he slips
most of the bills out by a sleight-of-
hand trick, and thus secures valuable
goods for small fraction Of what they
cost.

Injunction Given by Circuit Judge
Proves Blessing in Disguise
to Kenosha Company
MAY EXTEND ALL FRANCHISES
Attorneys Eagerly Await the Filing Of
the Findings and Judgment in
the Case Before Taking
Further Action


:
Attorneys for the Kenosha Electric
Railway Company are anxiously await
ing the fling Of the findings of the
Circuit Court in the suit brought by
the property owners on Elizabeth street
to restrain the company from building
double track on that street and it
is thought possible that the action of
the court may prove life.saver for
the company in holding the rights on
various streets in the city as granted
to it by the extension ordinance passed
by the Council more than a year ago.
In his conference with the city officials
on Tuesday, President Frost did not
mention this matter, but it is under
stood that his attorneys have taken up
the matter very carefully since his visit
to Kenosha and it is certain that there
will be considerable delay in the set
Element Of the case. The company will
certainly appeal to the Supreme Court
for a ruling on the decision Of judge
Belden in regard to the double track
proposition and as the company has a
year in which to file the appeal there
will be plenty Of time for Mr.. Frost
to make financial arrangements to take
care of the building of extensions in
Kenosha.
One of the local managers for Mr..
Frost in speaking of the paving of
West Market street yesterday insisted
that the injunction of the court touched
directly on this street on account Of
the fact that double track was to be
laid there and that under the provisions
of the franchise ordinance the company
had a right to claim an extension Of
time equal to that caused by injunc-
tions. The company also has right
under the ordinance to build line
double or single track on Grand avenue
and this would probably also be govern
ed by the injunction order of Judge
Belden. Attorneys for the Elizabeth
street property owners have stated that
other complaints have been filed against
the double track proposition and all of
these complaints will come as bless
ings in disguise to Frost and his asso-
ciates in their present financial difficult
ties. The contracts for large amount
Of street improvement including the
paving on West Market street, on
Grand avenue and Ashland avenue will
be directly affected by the order of
the court and as the company can keep
the case in the Supreme Court for
several months at the least it will be
| impossible to count on any of this work
for the present year unless Frost de-
cides to disregard the injunction and
go ahead and aid with improvements.
City Attorney Slater when asked as
to whether the injunctional order would
serve as a legal cause for delay in the
work, stated that he could not give an
opinion on this matter until the findings
and judgment of the court in the
Elizabeth street case was filed with
the clerk Of the Circuit Court. It is
expected that this will be filed before
the end of the week and attorneys are
now at work on it.

CONSUMPTION CLAIMS VICTIM
Miss Anna Morrison Died At Her Home
On South Main Street Friday

Consumption claimed another victim
in Kenosha on Friday evening when
Miss Anna Morrison, a well known
young girl of the city, died at her home
on South Main street after short i'll
ness from the disease. The deceased
was daughter of Mr. and Mr.. William
Morrison and was sixteen years of age.
The announcement for the funeral has
not as yet been made. Miss Morrison
was a girl of beautiful disposition and
her early death will cause great sorrow
among her friends in the city.

John Gresh Declares His Daugh.
ter, Irene, Long Missing, Is
Held by Force Here
REOPEN SEARCH FOR HER
Father Claims That He Has Evidence
That Letter Alleged to Have
Come From the Girl Was TAX
en- to Racine to be Mailed

Acting on the suggestion of John
Gresh, the police of the city have re
opened the search for Irene Gresh and
the statements made by the father have
added new mystery to the case and
the father now declares that he has
evidence that the girl is being held in
Kenosha. THE letter which is supposed
to have been written by the child was
turned over to the police Yesterday and
while the father admits that the writ
ing is that of his daughter, he insists
that he has found that the letter was
written in Kenosha and taken to Ra-
cine to be mailed in order to mislead the
officials of this city. He claims that
the girl has been held by force by a
Kenosha man living on North Congress
street, but the police have refused to
give out the name of the man if it is
known to them. There is little TRACE
dy of childhood behind the story some
where, but the father declares that the
daughter was always given the best of
treatment by him and that he does not
know what she could refer to in her
letter. He insists that the letter while
written by the little girl was dictated
by the man who was instrumental in
having her leave her home a week ago.
and that this man forced her to make
threats in the letter in an effort to
influence the father and the police from
further search for her. The police are
in complete quandary in regard to the
case as they have not been able to find
any evidence in support of the claim
the letter is a decoy more than his
statements that he has evidence that
the letter was taken from this city to
Racine to be mailed.
A close examination into the former
life of Gresh while he lived in Chicago
is being made by the police and this
may in manner solve the mystery at
tending the disappearance of the little
girl. The officials of Racine county
following the clue given in the letter
from the child have been making an eff
fort to locate her in that county. The
letter which the father claims was a
decoy and which is now in the hands
of the police is as follows. It bears no
date:
From Irene:-
Don't look for me Pa for you will
not find me. [ am on farm and you
will have to find the farmer before YOU
find me. You won t never find me so
it s no use looking. [ am going to
work on farm way up north, think
it's called Dakota, that's the name of
the place. [ ain It sure. am sick from
walking to much. So don It look for me
and if you tell the police to find me.
will tell them everything for I won It
go home any more. The Human Society
will take care Of me alright.
Goodbye,
Irene.
Take good care of Johnnie. You told
me to g" and never let you see me again
and I went.

Dear SIR
Some of your customers have given
our agent, now permanently located in
your city, orders for one Blue Ribbon
Package Coffee. These customers have
asked to have their coffee delivered
through your store.
In each instance the purchaser has
signed a contract which we guarantee
to be bona-fde and valid. This cof-
fee, as we'll as our other specialties,
shows profit of 80 per cent to the
grocer. We figure it costs 10 per cent
to sell the goods which we save for you
because we have already made the sales.
Therefore, you are making an actual
profit of 40 per cent.
We are enclosing herewith an address
ed postal card for you to fill out (Which
kindly do at once), so there will be no
delay in our getting together.
Respectfully yours,

by which hereafter the young men

a certificate permitting them to teach
without further examination for a Pc
Rod of FIVE years. II they teach for
three years out Of the FIVE they will
then be entitled to EI-year certih-
cate, and if they teach on that four
years will be entitled to q certificate
