SEEK PART IN SUIT
Companies Interested in Finances
Of Kenosha Electric R'y Co.
Would Be Defendants
CONTEST PROMOTERS CLAIM

AS a result of the hearing on the
suit of Patrick F. Haynes and Gustav
l.. Causen VS.. The Kenosha Electric
Railway Company in the Circuit Court
on Wednesday, Attorneys Quarles,
Spence and Quarles of Milwaukee have
filed petition asking that The West
ern Trust and Savings Bank and Will
loughby G. Walling of Chicago, the
Union Trust Company of Toronto and
The Investment Registry Limited of
London be allowed to come in as de-
PENDANTS in the action and file a cross
complaint to the demands of the pro-
moters.
In the cross complaint proposed it
is alleged that the companies now
seeking to be named as defendants in
the action are the holders of bonds of
the Kenosha Electric Railway Company
in the sum of 100000 and that they
have trust deed on all the property
of the company to secure the payment
of these bonds. They allege further
that at the time of the purchase of
the bonds they had no knowledge of
any claim against the company by
Haynes and Clausen and further that
not a bit of the property now covered
by the trust deed held by them was
built by the Kenosha Street Railway
Company which had the original agree
ment with Haynes and Clausen. In the
cross complaint it is demanded that the
trust deed held by these companies be
declared by the court as a prior lien
to the Judgment granted by the Su-
preme Court.
The attorneys for Haynes and Clau-
sen have filed objections to this petit
tion and cross complaint, declaring that
the Supreme Court of the state has
settled the question of the priority of
the mortgages and that for this reason
there is no cause for allowing the com
panies named to come in as defendants
in the final settlement of the action.
Judge Belden has directed the attor-
neys for the contestants in the action
to submit briefs in the matter and it is
evident that the decision will not be
rendered for some time. One thing is
certain and that is that there is long
legal fight in prospect before the promo
ters secure any sale of the property of
the company under the order of the
Supreme Court

LAKE SHORE LEAGUE MEETS
Managers Give Chicago Union Giants
Notice to Put up Larger Guarantee


AT a meeting of the Lake Shore
League at the Republican House in
Milwaukee it was decided that the
Chicago Unions, one of the travelling
teams, did not have large enough
bond up to guarantee their fulfilling
their obligations with the league. Man
ager Peters was notified that he would
be given five days to come up with a
larger bond and if he did not do SO his
franchise would be forfeited. Several
applications have been received from
teams DESTROYS Of putting teams in the
leagues and it was for the protection Of
the clubs now holding franchises that
this method was taken to- force the
IGhicagp team to guarantee the league
against any losses. The controversy
over Pitcher Ernie Groth in which the
5Rort Washington and Milwaukee clubs
are concerned was left for committee
of arbitration to decide. President
Herzog, directors George Pierce Of Ne
nasha, and Ben Dempsey of Manitowoc
will constitute that committee.

FIND MISSING DEEDS
Post Officials Find Deeds Stolen
After Leaving kenosha in Loot
Taken From Robber Gang
DISAPPEAR ID EARLY IN APRIL
Department Had Been Searchisg for
Valuable Papers for Several
Weeks When They
Were Found

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of two deeds to valuable
property in Kenosha which were lost
while in transit through the post Office
during the month of April, has been
solved by the finding of the deeds in
the mass of booty recovered from the
daring band of train robbers recently
arrested near Omaha, Neb Post Of
fee Inspector Ralph Bird was in Keno
sha ON Thursday to restore the deeds
to their owner and they are now again
on their way to the purchaser of the
property in Spokane, Washington. The
deeds are said to have been valued
at several thousand dollars but Inspec-
tor Bird and Postmaster Maloney de-
clined to give out the name of the
parties to the real estate deal. The
deeds were mailed here as registered
mail matter early in April and two
weeks after that time the postmaster
received notice that the letters had
never reached their destination. The
postmaster took up the matter with
the department and the registered
package was traced, but all trace of it
disappeared near Spokane and it was
finally decided that the package of
deeds had been stolen. The officials
Of the department at once got after
the matter and began further search
but found nothing until the recent ar
rest of the gang at Omaha and when
the booty secured from this gang was
turned into the department one of
the first packages opened revealed the
missing Kenosha deeds. 1t is believed
that the finding Of the deeds estab-
fishes the fact that the same gang
which worked near Omaha was respon-
sible for the robberies of the mails
committed near Spokane some time
earlier in the year.
This is not the only robbery that
has been committed in which mail mat
ter from Kenosha is affected as In
spector Bird is looking up a case Of
the theft of letter which contained
s. ten dollar bill and which was sent
registered through the Kenosha Office.
Tbs money was stolen by a clerk in
ono o. the sub-stations of the Chicago
office and the man escaped. AS the
government is liable for losses up to
$25 on such letters the entire amount
will be restored to the sender.
It is declared that there are several
other cases of robberies in which the
office here is affected, but as yet they
have not been cleared up and the in
spector declined to give out any infor-
nation in regard to them.

PLANNED OLD TRICK
julius Bidinger Saw dead Man
on the Road Between Keno,
sha and Waukegan
BY ON OTHER SIDE

What is declared to have ben q
dastardly effort to hold up and rob
Alderman Julius Bidinger Of Wauke
gan occurred on the sand road four
miles south of Kenosha at a late hour
Wednesday night, but the Waukegan
! alderman was too careful to fall into
| the clutches Of the robbers and, speed
| ing his car at rate that defed all
Illinois and Wisconsin laws, he man
aged to reach Winthrop Harbor after
which he took a posse of men and went
back along the road and made an eff
fort to locate the supposed hold-up
man.
Alderman Bidinger had been in Ke-
'nosha on business and had started home
at a reasonably early hour in the even
ing. He was speeding along the road
as fast as the sand would allow him
when the lights of his machine fell on
the PROSTATE form of man lying in
| the middle of the road. The first in
stinct of the alderman was to stop and
see what was the matter with the man,
4 but as he started to stop the machine
a figure moved in the bushes on the
road side and "Judy' without further
examination, turned his car to the side
Of the road and, like the Levite, passed
by on the other side. He not Only
passed by, but put on all speed posi-
BILE to get out of the neighborhood.
1t is declared that this scheme has
been worked before in order to make
possible the robbery of occupants Of
automobiles and Bidinger seems to be
convinced that a band of men were in
hiding near the spot where the pros
trate form Of the man blocked the road
BiGinger feels sure that the man in the
road was neither dead nor drunk as he
distinctly saw the fellow move when
he pulled his car to the side of the
road to get out of the way of him. At
Winthrop Harbor Bidinger managed to
arouse the village marshal and several
other people and, placing them in the
machine, he retraced his trip along the
road, but nothing could be found of
the PROSTATE form or of the other men.
1t is claimed that the scheme has been
worked largely in the east and that
it was once tried near Glencoe and re-
suited in rich haul for the robbers.
This was several years ago and it ap-
pears that the crooks have decided that
| it is about time to give the "dead
man. racket another try out.
