ANOTHER ZION FREAK
Mother in Zion City Claims That Her
Baby is Second Christ

Zion City, the home of some of the
most wierd and uncouth theories and
practices, has another sensation, one
that far ecnpses anything that the
city has ever known. So suddenly has
it been thrust upon the people that
they have not yet recovered from The
shock.
A report reached here today that a
second Christ had been born in that
city and that already several suscepti-
BILE imbeciles have accepted the condi
tion of affairs and are focking to the
new STANDARD. This latter cult to be
started is perhaps the strangest that
has ever been born in the city.
The matter came to the attention Of
Zion City, but a few days ago, when
a child was born to woman living,
itNis said, east of Sheridan Road and
north Of Shiloh boulevard
Ehe next day it is declared that she
issued statement that the child
was the Second Christ which we are
promised in the Bible.

.KLE|ST ON THE JOB
Local Game Warden Given TEN.
porary Appointment as Deputy
in the Department
MAY NOT Be PERMANENT

Michael Kleist, Kenosha's active
deputy game warden, is back on the
job again as this morning State Game
Warden Rickemann notified the county
clerk that temporary appointment
would be issued to Kleist, but that he
could not say whether or not Kleist
would be made permanent member
of the force of the department Kleist
claims to be on the pay roll regardless
of the appointment as he was working
under civil service and he holds that
the department had no power to re-
move him without filing charges against
him and giving him a chance for a
trial.
Reports have been coming thick and
fast of Chicago men fishing at the var
ious lakes of the county, but Kleist,
pending the determination of his con-
nection with the department, has not
followed any of these fishermen and
there has been no check placed upon
them. Several of them had applied
to officials in the towns in the lake
regions for fishing licenses and the
officials had told them that there was
no deputy game warden here and hear
ing this the men simply went to the
lakes and fshed regardless of the laws
of the great state of Wisconsin.
Kleist on being advised that he had
been put back on the pay roll at once
started out to take look about the
lakes and it is probable that he will
come back tomorrow with bunch of
prisoners. There is no better deputy
in this ection of the state and the peo-
pie of Kenosha will be glad to know
that Kleist is back on the job again.

WANT LAW REPEALED
Hard Fight To Be Made Against
the License Clause in the Z
Fish Came Law
RESORT HOTElSARE HARD HIT

More work is to be done to secure
either the repeal or the annulment Of
the so-called fishing license law than
mosS people imagine.
This fishing license law was passed
as clause in the fish and game bill
and it was only because a veto Of the
whole law that it did not receive a
gubernatorial negative. Two years
ago when the fishing license bill
passed IN a separate measure the gov
ernor rejected the bill. The measure
provides that all non-residents Of the
state must take out licenses to fish at
a cost Of ST. per license.
The summer resort keepers are the
principal opponents of the BILL With
the exception of few owners of
fishing resorts in Northern Wisconsin
they, however, paid no attention to
the measure when it was before the
legislature, not having seemingly en-
tertained any idea that it would be-
come law.
Now, however, they are thoroughly
worked up in regard to the law and
are planning to form an organization
to secure either its repeal at the special
session or test action on its consti
nationality.
Inc resort keepers claim that the
law works a great hardship on them
in lessening the number of guests who
come into the state for a fishing trip.
More than this, they say it is a great
nuisance to obtain licenses for their
out of the state guests. Friends Of
the measure claim this latter objec-
tion is obviated by the fact the
game wardens are authorized to have
licenses at the hotels for the hotel
keepers to issue.
