BINGHAM MURDER
STILL UNSOLVEO
Considerable Mystery Surrounds
The Shooting Of Three Foreign
ers at Little Austria"
VERSIONS ARE CONFLICTING.
Joe Mclich Declares That Marovitch
Told Him lie Was Going to
XIII Popoyitch.

While there is stiil considerable mys-
terry surrounding the shooting of three
Foreigners at Little Austria" near
Bingham, one man has come forward
with n statement that viii go hard
against steve Maroyitch, alias Miers'
now IN the county jail charged with the
murder of Mike Popoyitch which oe-
CURED Sunday morning as PopoVitch
was about to enter his cabin.
Joe Melich of Bingham declares en-
phatically that Marovtch told him
Just a short time before Popovitch was
shot down that he was going to kill
Popovitoh While some of the Aus
trians say that the shooting grew out
of religious quarrel, others declare
that this is not true and that the muir
ders were the result of personal diff
ferences.
According to the statement made by
Melioh, Marovtch came 10 him about
30 minutes before the shooting of Popo-
witch and paid him n bill OF 500.
MELICH's STORY.
After paying me the money" said
Melich. "Marovitch told me that he
had had trouble with Popovitch and
was going to kill him that night
Thirty minutes later Popovltch was
shot down in cold blood. can back UP
my statement by at least a dozen wit
nesses. Popoyitch was one Of the most
peaceful and steady men in the colony,
He was a good workman and not the
kind OF man to cause trouble. This
statement will be corroborated by the
superintendent, foreman and shift boss
es of the Highland Boy.
''Marovitch has been a good GUS
toner of mine but | will stand by my
statements and am satisfied that he
has been the direct cause of the shoot
ing sorapes and bloody alterations
that have occurred there during the
past few months"
Under the direction of Sheriff Emery,
n posse OF deputies is now searching
for Adam Paprich, the alleged murder
er of Mike Bovich who died at the hos
pital Saturday night as result of
gunshot wounds.
Peter Galacz who was shot Sunday
is now nj the Keogh- Hammond hospital
but is not as badly wounded as at first
supposed. Officers are trying to locate
the man who tried to murder Galacz.

to church or to town. The automobile
brings the farmer a great deal closer
to market and the trip to town is no
longer something to be dreaded, but
few minutes work. The farmer appre-
ciates the automobile as time-sayer
and a pleasure bringer. He appreci-
ates that it can be used for everything
that farm horse can be used for with
the exception of the actual work in the
fields.
Kenosha county is naturally one of
the homes of the farmers automobile
and the machines are being purchased
by many of the up-to-date farmers of

to the automobile is DR.. j. T. hern-
sheim of the town of Bristol. DR.. Hern-

horsemen in this part of Wisconsin and

and as such it fitted for the farmer as
well as for the city man.
The object lessons of the use of the
auto on the farm are being widely
scattered by the Jeffrey company and
while the Kenosha company was the
first to see the advantages of the car
for the farmer the entire business is
being benefited by tile introduction of
the Rambler in the rural districts.

jail for the night.
Several times they made an effort
to get prominent men of Kenosha. but
these men returned them the frozen
face and they were forced to remain in
Jail. There was a great hurrying to
cover among the aforesaid prominent
men and they absolutely refused to
have anything to do with the case.
Mrs. Parker was arrested in MiIwau-

The six people arrested in the raid

Taggart at Lake Geneva just after one
O'Clock this morning. Death resulted
from rheumatism complicated with
tuberculosis. Attorney Sturges was
taken i'll about two months ago.
He went to Mudlavia in search
of health but returned only a
month ago and at that time it
was found that he was suffering
from tuberculosis. A little over a week
ago Mr.. Sturges was taken to the home
of his sister at Lake Geneva and he
had been under the care Of several well
known specialists since that time.
The announcement of the death of
Attorney Sturges will cause great sor-
row in Kenosha for few men in the

advice on criminal cases was eagerly
sought by men much older in his pro
fession. Mr.. Sturges was an artist of
note, a great lover Of books and a
,alished writer. His sketches and his
writings were never published, but they
proved Of greatest interest to his
friends.
The deceased was a member of the
Lake Geneva Lodge of the Knights of

members of Kenosha Lodge 30 of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks. He has been a member Of the

Meeting the business man of the coun-
try with the business man of the city.
Il is perfectly natural that the Jeffery
company should be the leader in this
work of introducing the automobile to
the farmers, for years ago the designers
lot the Kenosha plant decided that the
car that would win in the long run was
the car Of steady service and this is
the kind of a car that appeals to the
man on the farm Fine lines and light
bodies look right to some people and
these machines may be all right, but
the farmer is of curious mind and
must be shown. The farmers have
kept pretty good tab on the cars they
have pulled out of the sand and helped
over hills and they have noted that the
claim for the Rambler that it was the
car that always comes back /" is pretty
nearly true. Incidentally the farmers
have found that the Rambler car is
just as useful on the farm as it is on
the paved streets Of the city. They
are learning that the automobile is a
mighty fine thing to take the milk to
the milk station with and that the cost
Of keeping it is not as great as the
