G. N. Bliss Takes Little Daughter
From Arms of Grandfather
On Sunday Morning
LITIGATION is PROMISED
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert A. Wilson Grand
parents Of the Child Secure
Attorneys and Will Fight
For Her Custody

The courts Of Kenosha county will be
called upon to decide very interesting
point in regard to- the custody of little
Geraldine Bliss, the daughter of George
n. Bliss, the Chicago manager for the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company. The lit
tie girl who has just past her fifth year
was the central figure in a sensational
little incident on Sunday when her
father took her by force from the arms
of her Grandfather Robert A. Wilson,
who resides on Newell street. The
Selling Of the child took place on Park
avenue just after the close Of a church
service at which the father and grand.
father Of the child had both been in
attendance. The two men came near
coming to blows, but other members of
the church prevented this and the father
took the child to his home. Later the
grandfather sought to secure a habeas
corpus writ to get possession of the
child, but it being Sunday no writ could
be secured and the matter is now in the
hands Of the attorneys representing the
grandparents and something will be
done in the courts within.a short time.
AS the parties in the incident are well
and favorably known in the city, the
taking Of the child has created con.
siderable of a sensation and the future
developments will be watched with the
greatest interest. Mr. Bliss as well as
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, formerly lived
at Battle Creek, Mich, and the mother
of the little girl was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson. The mother died
at the birth Of Geraldine and it is claim.
ed that before her death an agreement
was made that the child should be
brought up by the grandparents. In
the five years that have passed since the
death of the mother, the child has con,
tinually resided with her grandparents
and they had become greatly attached
to it. Three weeks ago Bliss notified
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson that he would de-
mand the custody of the child and at
that time the grandparents refused to
surrender the child and at once employ
ed attorneys. The crisis came on Sun
day when Bliss discovered the child in
church and believing the time opportune
stepped up to Wilson and quicker than
a flash took the child out of his arms
just after the party had left the church.
1t is supposed that the child is still
in Kenosha, but as Mr.. Bliss is en-
ployed at the Offices of the Jeffrey Com
pany IN Chicago it was impossible to
get an interview. Attorney R. V.
Baker has been employed as the at
torney for Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson, but he
| absolutely refused to discuss the case
when seen this afternoon. 1t is certain
that the matter will be taken into the
courts within few days.

Judge BeIden Decides the Famous
dutch Cap Case Against
the Petitioning Farmers
WRIT OF MANDAMUS REFUSED
Court Holds That the Action is Irregu-
lar and That He Would Not Be
Warranted in Ordering Com
pletion of the Ditch.
(From Saturdays Daily

j
Judge Belden has decided that the
famous Clutch Gap' in the town Of
Bristol will not hold water and in a
decision in the long contested case filed
with the clerk Of the Circuit Court this
morning, he dismissed the action
brought by George A. Shields against
the town board to secure the completion
Of the ditch. The decision is short and
to the point, but it leaves no chance
for bubble and removes the last vestige
of hope for the farmers who were in
favor of the completion of the big
ditch. The fight over the Dutch Gap,
has been on for nearly seven years and
for three years it has been a matter
before the courts OF the county The
trial of the matter was bitterly con-
tested and the town has been badly di-
vided on account of the digging of the
ditch. For years the friends and foes
of the ditch have fought in the town
campaigns and the man who favored
and the man who opposed the ditch have
repeatedly been rivals for office. I'm
der the ruling of the court. the ditch
cannot be dug and the town board is
ordered to refund to the property own
ers the amounts they paid in. In his
decision Judge Belden says:
"This ditch will not hold water. The
proceedings are SO insufficient, irregular,
faulty and defective that they must
fall. It will not be necessary to enumer-
ate the several defective points further
than to say that the court sustains the
contention Of the respondents.
"The proceedings must be held for
naught and the petition for writ of
mandamus dismissed.
SIT would seem that the money paid
into the hands of the town treasurer
herein should be returned to those who
paid it, less the several proportionate
shares of the proper disbursements.
The findings and appropriate order may
be entered accordingly
This ends the case so far as the Cir
cult Court is concerned, but the Bristol
men who favored the construction of
the ditch are fighters and it is probable
that they will not be willing to give up
the fight until after the Supreme Court
of the state has had chance to pass
upon the merits Of the big ditch.
A portion of the ditch has already
been constructed, but it is of little value
to the property owners without the com
pletion Of the remaining work planned.
George A. Shields who was the pc
titioner for the writ of mandamus is
the man most damaged by the ditch as
he paid into the town treasury the larg-
er amount Of the money that has beel
expended in digging the ditch as far
as it has gone. The hearing on the pc
tition for the writ of mandamus was
held in the Circuit Court several weeks
ago, but Judge Belden has given the
matter the most palnstaking examina-
ton before filing his decision.

SEEK A PAROLE
Friends of Edward Hensel Seek to Have
Him Released From Green Bay

A quiet effort is being made to secure
a parole for Edward Hensel, Kenosha
boy who is now serving term in the
state reformatory at Green Bay. Hen
sci was sent to Green Bay on a charge
Of robbingethe Giles store and his term
will not expire until Sept. 1911. Hen
sci has made model prisoners from
the time he entered the institution and
he is now employed in a position of
trust in the Office of the reformatory.
It is said that the officials of the re-
formatory are ready to recommend the
parole at any time and all that they
will demand is that Hensel be able to
secure employment before he is releas-
ed from prison.
Hensel was recently released from
the institution and came to Kenosha
on his own parole and spent several
days with relatives. He returned to
the Institution at the end of the time
allowed him.

Farmers in County Show a Desire
for Building Line to Lake Re.
gions From kenosha
BAkERREADYT0M MAKE REPORT
States That Names of Men Backing the
Plan Will be Made Public Within
Few Days-Must See Chance
for Right of Way

District Attorney Robert Verne Bak-
er is preparing his preliminary report
in regard to the practicability Of build
ing an electric railway from Kenosha
to Lake Geneva and this report will
be submitted to the chicago capitalists
back OF the plan the latter part Of this
week. The report of the attorney is
decidedly favorable to the building Of
the line and it is thought that the plans
of the Chicago men will be made public
as soon as this report has been received
by them. The report shows that the
farmers all along the line are DESTROYS
Of having the line built and that they
will. beN willing to- meet the company
half way on pretty nearly any plan that
may be proposed. In speaking of the
matter, District Attorney Baker said
g The farmers seem to be very favora-
bic to the line and our report to the
men backing it will be in this vein.
You can never tell just what will come.
1t seems that all people are anxious for
railways when the matter is started,
but later when the promoters go to get
the right Of way the property owners
get a change of mind in some cases and
demand high prices for the land. The
company is not looking for something
for nothing, but it is certain that if
the line is built it will be with the aid
of the men most vitality interested and
they are the property owners along the
road. [ am convinced that the com
pany will make good if they decided
to go into. the business. +"
Mr.. Baker stated that he could not
give out the names of the men behind
the plan, but that he would be able to
make them public within a week. He
said that there was no secret in the
matter, but that the men did not de-
sire to- have their names given to the
public until they had reached some
final decision as to what they would
do. The announcement that the new
company was making a preliminary sur
vey has awakened some of the old pro-
jects and a little quiet work is being
done among the farmers in the interests
OF these former projects. Even Frost
who was considered down and out for
the present is said to have been closely
watching any plan to build the line to
the west and it is possible that some
company in which he is the ruling fac
tor will seek to make some arrangement
to get into the game.
The members of the Common Council
have discussed the matter of an en-
trance to the city for such line and
with the present Frost troubles it is
probable that many of the members of
the Council would be willing to give
the company a hearing. It is under
stood that the company has no desire
to get into the local field service, but
simply to get passengers from the west
into the heart of the city.
