Miss Sallee sustained severe, but not dan

and got the stove under control. The fire

SEEK ELOPERS HERE
Streator, Illinois, Couple Sup.
posed To Have Come to Ke.

FATHER IN HOT PURSUIT

Frank Convey Of streator, ILL.,, was in
Konosha Friday seeking to find
his daughter Margaret Convey, seventeen
years OF age, who is alleged to have
eloped in an automobile with Frank x.
Miller of the same city on Friday morn
| ing. The couple left Streator Just af-
ter ten O'Clock Friday and the father
followed In an automobile, but was
caught by the rain at Highland Park
last night and he failed to reach Ke-
nosha until early this morning. He
made visit to the Office of the county
clerk and to both of the Judges but
found nothing to show that his daughter
and Miller had been married in Keno
sha. The father declares that his
daughter he's friends in Aenosha and
that for this reason he is convinced
that the couple will come to this city
for the wedding. So far as can be
learned no application has been made
1NA q 1lSUl4oO AClGs Lie IdLn6T INSISTS
that the couple were in Waukegan late
Friday afternoon, but that they made
no effort to secure a license there but
| left Waukegan for Kenosha.
1t would be impossible for the cou-
pie to get a license in Kenosha with
out applying to the county clerk and
up to noon no such an application had
been made. Convey declared that his
only objection to the marriage was the
fact that his daughter was but seven
teen years Of age and that young Miller
had just attained his majority The
young man is an attorney by profes
sion and was graduated from one of
the Chicago law schools this year. It
is said that both the bride and groom
are members of prominent families in

HAD NARROW ESCAPE ALL CELEBRATE DAY
Painters Working on EicheIman
Hotel Have Spectacular Escape
When Scaffold Falls
ROPES SAVE MEN FROM FALL

William Hallett and Edward Stein
bach, two well known painters of the
city, had sensational escape from
death Friday while they were at
work on the painting of the Eichelman
Hotel and the nerve which the two men
showed in the face of the greatest
danger attracted the admiration of
scores OF pedestrians who witnessed
the accident. The two painters were
at work on a scaffold forty feet above
the sidewalk when without warning
the rope at the north end of the scat
fold gave way and snapped like whip
cord, The scaffold fell with a crash
to the ground Below scattering the
red paint in all directions. People on
the street saw the accident and fled
in terror expecting to see the two
painters dashed to death on the side
walk below.
Hallet was working near the middle
of the scaffold when the break came
and he showed the greatest nerve. He
was several feet from the rope which
had held the scaffold, but he never lost
his head for a minute and in the
second which interviewed between the
breaking of the rope and the falling
Of the heavy scaffold he made flying
leap for the end Of the rope and man
aged to catch it. Crowds rushed to
the scene OF the accident as the scat
fold fell but all they saw was a couple
of determined men hanging on to the
ropes and climbing slowly toward the
windows on the third story Of the
building. They managed to hold on to
the ropes until the windows were open
ed and then they were given a safe
refuge.
Both Of the men were little nervous
after they were safe from their peril,
but neither of them sustained serious
injuries Hallet had one of his arms
badly cut but his nerve was not shat
tered for a minute and later in the
day both of the men returned to work
on the scafold. The accident was a
decidedly lncky one as minute before
the scaffold fell many people were
walking along the street and it seems
almost miracle that no one was under
it when it fell.
The entire front Of the building as
well as the sidewalks and windows was
well smeared with a combination of red
and gray paint, but no damage of
serious nature was done.

kenosha People Give Nations
Birthday a Noisy Celebration
on Sunday and Monday
ONE BOY SERIOUSLY HURT
Hundreds of People Attend the Picnics
in Various Parts of the City and
County and Clash of Officials
Causes Trouble

Kenosha had a reasonably sane cele-
bration of the nations birthday not
withstanding the exciting events of the
two days holiday, but this morning
with the smoke of the battle clearing
away there is the usual number of
burned fingers, bandaged eyes and bat
in Kenosha all right from the stand
point Of the small boy and some of the
larger ones, but the city got through
with the celebration with only one real
serious accident, Perry Hoffman, the
ive-year-old son of Henry Hoffman of
Park avenue, had one Of his fingers
shot away and his hand badly torn by
the explosion Of giant fire cracker
on Monday morning. DR.. Cleary dress
ed the wound of the little boy and
while his hand is in very bad condi-
ton it is thought that it can be saved.
There was lot of minor accidents re-
ported, the total number reaching Is
but none of them was worthy Of more
than passing notice.
The holiday was generally celebrated
in Kenosha on Monday and business
was suspended and hundreds of the
people of the city went to parks and
summer resorts for the day. Many
Kenoshans went to Racine to attend
the big home coming celebration while
a train load went out to Paddocks Lake
to attend the annual celebration given
under the auspices of the Old Settlers
Club. This was the most successful
celebration of the day held in Keno
sha county. There was a crowd of
1900 people present and all parts of
the county were represented and while
there were no speeches or set program
all sorts of sport was offered and the
crowd enjoyed itself to the limit. In
the afternoon there was a ball game
and the day closed with the usual
Fourth of July dance in the evening.
A clash in authority between the
police department. and The mayor caus
ed the celebration in Kenosha so far
as the shooting of fireworks was con
cerned to last from Saturday after
noon to Monday night. Seven arrests
We're made on Saturday evening, but all
of the people were released when the
mayor telephoned Chief O Hare to per-
NIT the celebrators to go ahead with
the noise. On Saturday night the fire
department. was called out to look after
a small blaze in the Fair store result
ing from a ball from Roman candle
being fired into one of the windows of
the store. The damage from the fire
was not worthy of mention This was
the only fire call during the two days
celebration.
Monday night there were several dis
plays Of fireworks about the city, the
most notable one being at the grounds
Of the Kenosha Country Club.

Many Catholics Attend Solemn
Ceremonies Held at Lithuan.
ian Church on Sunday
ARCHBISHOP MEsSMER HERE

One of the greatest church celebra-
tions held in Kenosha in many months
occurred on Sunday in connection with
the blessing of the bells of st. Peters
Lithuanian Catholic church. The cele-
bration drew to the city Arch Bishop
Messmer of the Milwaukee diocese and
a large number of visiting priests
from Milwaukee, Chicago and other
cities and the ceremonies which were
of deeply religious nature were at
tended by many people not only of the
Lithuanian congregation, but from
other Catholic congregations in the
city. The archbishop arrived in the
city at ten o'clock in the morning and
he was met by the priests of the local
church and large number of the mem
bers Of the various Catholic orders of
the city who marched to the station
and acted as escort for the distinguish
ed guest. In the parade, which was
more than a half mile in length, were
two bands and more than thousand
marching men representing more than
twenty societies.
The services at the church were
under the direction of the archbishop
and he was assisted by many of the
visiting priests.
After the ceremony a dinner was
served at the parish house at which
the visitors were the guests of honor.
The celebration was the most note
worthy one ever held among the
foreign Catholics of the city.
