DECREE FOR MRS TRACER
Long Contested Divorce Action Results
in Divorce Being Granted the Wife


In the Circuit Court Friday morning
Judge Belden handed down a decision
in the divorce action of Martha Traeger
vs. Walter Traeger granting the de-
cree to Mrs. Traeger. The wife is al
lowed alimony in the amount of $500
and an allowance of five dollars week
for the support of the minor children.
In the findings the court did not make
any decision in regard to the sensa
tional questions raised in the trial of
the case, but simply held that the wife
was entitled to the decree and the
custody of the minor children. The
case was started in Circuit Court sew
eral months ago by Mrs. Traeger and
the husband filed an answer in which
he made sensational charges against
his wife. Charges of a serious nature
were made by the wife in a cross bill
and the court took til cease under adj
.visement. The parties are residents of
Orchard Knoll and well known in that
part of the city.

NEW Law WILL BE BURDEN
Clerk of Circuit Court is to Draw
Jurors to Serve at Inquests

The new law relating to the drawing
OF coroner's Sury may prove impracti.
cal and inexpensive to the county. Under
the old system, when an inquest was
to be held the constable of a city or
village or the county sheriff was mott
fed to collect jury of six men in
the vicinity of the morgue.
BY the new law, introduced by Sen
ator W. R. Gaylord of Milwaukee. in
the last legislature, the clerk OF the
Circuit Court draws the jurymen from
his venire list. Oftentimes the men
thus drawn are not to be found or live
long distance from the place where
the inquest is to be held. When friends
or relatives of the deceased are wait
ing to hold funeral, it is urgent, that
an inquest be held Immediately, which
is practically impossible by the new
system of drawing.
Then there is the item of expense to
be considered. According to the sys-
tenn 1t costs the county approximately
three times as much for a jury as it
used to cost. The difference comes in
transportation of juries from some dis
lance out in the county and extra time
consumed IN coming in to the inquest.

The cotton scale has made it's APP
pearance on many of the maple trees
of the city and on some few elms and
it is feared that the return of this pest
seriously threatens the lives of the
trees. Many of the trees which are
now being attacked have not yet re
gained their full vigor since they suf-
fered from the pest three years ago
and in their weakened state are in no
condition to Withstand any unusual
strain upon their vitality. The trees
are the chief glory Of the city and
their loss would be nothing less than
a calamity and every property owner
should 60 to work with sprayer at the
first sign of the scale upon his trees.
Even it he cares nothing for the beauty
Of the city the fact that the loss of
the trees would cut down property
values very considerably should move
him to his best efforts to save them.
It is very real danger that threatens
the trees with the return of the scale,
but if it is taken in time much Of the
damage may be prevented.

A FALSE ALARM
Report Tat Fairfield Had Been Caught
st Harvard Proves False

At 4 a. m. Thursday morning Sheriff
Gunter received a telephone message
from Harvard, H., stating that Frank
Fairfield, wanted for the shooting of
Jnlef of Police O'Hare, had been ar
rested there. The report proved
false alarm for later in the day while
the sheriff was preparing to leave for
Harvard to take look at the suspect
telephone message from Marshall
Burke of Harvard showed that no one
lad been arrested there. 1t is suppos-
ed that man answering the descrip-
ton of Fairfield was seen in the neigh,
borhood and that this gave rise to the
rumor of his arrest. There were no.
other clues found during the day and
the officers are now giving considerable
time to search for the Madison
woman who is alleged to have come to
kenosha with Fairfield. The woman
IS said to have home in Chicago and
TINS IS being closely watched by detec,
tives. The police are also seeking to
ind some trace of bundle which
faiSfeld had at the time he left the,
livery stable on the night of the shoot
ing, but which he had disposed Of be-
tore ne was taken into custody by
Chief Q Hare. It is thought that the
bundle may throw some light on the
Workings of Fairfield. Chief OuIare
IS still gaining ground and he is hope
ful that he will be able to Lave the
hospital and go to his home on Sun
day.

BEE ST|NCS NORRIS
Lacrosse Member Of State Senate
Being Groomed as candi-
date for Governor
SUPPORT OF PRoGREssIvEs

The statement recently made to the
effect that friends of Senator Thomas
Morris of Lacrosse were grooming him
for gubernatorial candidate is con
firmed from that city. His friends
there admit that they will try and get
the senator to come out as a candidate.
Assemblyman J. E. Mcconnell, La
Crosse, in the Lacrosse Tribune said
Senator Morris might become a can
didate if the party demanded him, but
he would not fight for the nomination
~ have no authority to speak for
him." said Mr.. Mcconnell. 81 do not
know what his attitude in the matter
may be, but I believe he would never
be more than a receptive candidate.
If it seems best o-the Republicans of
the state that he should become can
didate for governor he would doubtless
respect their wishes
It is one of the curiosities of politics
in Wisconsin these times that the sen
ate Investigating committee appears to
be running to gubernatorial honors.
All three members have been .'Emen.
tioned.''
Senator Marsh was first suggested
when the county optionists intimated
they would get into the political game
right to the elbows, though the senator
has held himself aloof from any an
nouncement that he would be candi-
date; in fact, he has conveyed the i'm
preston that he would not.
Even yet there are those who be-
lieve that in case the county option
people decide they must come into the
field that Senator Marsh will be the
man picked to stand as their champion.
Then Senator Paul Husting is spoken
of as a possibility for the head Of the
Democratic state ticket next year. In
this connection the name Of Assembly
man w. J. Bickler, Ozaukee county,
has also been the subject of some talk.
MI Bickler made good member and
was one of the strong men of the as
sembly, and many of his friends would
take off their coats for him if he were
to become candidate.
But to get back to the senatorial in
vestigating committee. After the
other members have been placed in the
mentioned column along comes Sen
ator Morris and gets right up in front
with something like a strong backing
behind him. In this regard the sena-
tors have put the assembly members of
the joint investigating committee en-
tirely out of the running.
The only one of the assemblymen
who achieved mentioned honors was
Assemblyman w. NJ. Bray, Oshkosh.
Whether the investigation will prove
of assistance, provided any of the
members of the senate committee final
ly lands as a candidate for governor,
is much disputed question.
From the general feeling of disgust
which is shown toward the wasteful
expenditure of time and money on the
investigation heard through the state
it would not look as if this were a
good foundation on which to erect any
able bodied hopes for seat in the
governor S chair.

The Police and Fire Commission ap-
pears TO be taking more interest in
the affairs of the two departments just
at present than it has before in some
time and there is an evident intention
to see that the rules laid down by the
commissioners for the guidance of the
men in the departments little while
ago, especially those with regard to
drinking while on duty, are to be en-
forced no matter who is hit. The COM
mies;oners are not yet convinced that
the charges against certain members
Of the police force are strong enough
or well enough substantiated to war
rant them in taking summary action,
but they have taken occasion to CON
vey q hint that any repetition of the
charges may lead to something being
done and to vacancies in the ranks of
the city's employees.

Masked Men Holds Up Agent Of
c. & NJ. Electric at Racine
on Thursday Night
VICTIM IS TERRIBLY BEATEN
Man Gets Away With s1oo and a Gold
Watch and Police in Kenosha
and Other Cities Join in
Search for Him

new man hunt among the lake
shore counties was started Friday morn
ing as on Thursday night the police
of Kenosha were notified that a dar
ing hold up had been committed at
Racine just before that hour when a
lone bandit held up and robbed the
agent Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric Railway Company at the sta
ten just outside of Racine. The
agent, William Light, was alone in the
station at the time the crime was com
mitted and he was rendered unconsei
Gus by the assault made upon him and
it was fully twenty minutes before he
regained consciousness. When he re-
covered he found that the man who
had assailed him had taken every pre-
caution to make good his get away
and the telephone wires leading to the
station had been cut and the telephone
instrument torn from the wall The
robber got 800 in money and gold
watch.
The robbery was one Of the most
daring ever reported in this section
of the country. Light was just clos
ing up the station and stood behind
the counter counting up his money for
the night when the man entered. He
wore low mask over his face. In a
rough voice he commanded Light to
throw up his hands. Light made mo-
ton as if to protect himself, but in a
second the bandit leaped upon him.
cast aside the revolver which Light
had seized and in the hand to hand
conflict which followed the man man
aged to get hold of a heavy knife with
which he cut a great cash over Light S
head. Later he struck him on the
head with some blunt instrument rem
dering him unconscious and then hur-
riedly footing the cash drawer he cut
the telephone wires and disappeared.
The man was described as being short,
thick set, wearing a broad brimmed
hat and dark clothes.
AS soon as Light regained conscious
ness he discovered that the wires were
cut and making his way as rapidly as
possible to the nearest telephone he
notified the Racine police of the crime.
Police departments in the cities along
the lake shore were at once notified
and man hunt started. The Kenosha
officials were sent out to watch the in
coming electric cars, but it is probable
that the fellow had he taken these
cars would have caught car and got
into Kenosha before the local police
had chance to throw out drag net.
The man worked in method similar
to that which has been used by the
bandits in Milwaukee who have re-
peatedly held up several electric cars
in that city and who reaped golden
harvest from their operations. There
is absolutely no clue to the identity of
the man who held up the Racine agent,
but the fact that a car passed the
station going toward Milwaukee Just
before the robbery has led the officers
to believe that the man might have
gone to Racine from Kenosha. Sew
eral stations of the Chicago and Mil
waukee road have been robbed during
the last few months, but this is the
first time that the robber has shown a
willingness to attack the man in charge
in order to make the robbery possible.

Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people
are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is fancy and
the germ is fact. If the germ could be masnihed
to size equal to its terrors it would appear more
terrible than any fre-breathing dragon. Germs
can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe,
the water we drink.
The germ can only prosper when the condition
of the system gives it free scope to establish it
