John Sheridan Cut to Pieces by
Freight Train While on His
Way to Hooker Lake
4 MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT
Man is Supposed to Have Lost His Hold
on the Car and Slipped Under
the Wheels-Body Found
by Pedestrian

John Sheridan, 90 years of age, a
son of Mrs. Margaret Sheridan, S24
Market street, and widely known among
the people of the west side of the city,
met an awful death under the wheels
of a freight train on the western di-
vision of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway late Saturday night or early
Sunday morning. His hfeless body
was found by a pedestrian walking
along the road just west of Orchard
Knoll just after midnight Sunday morn
ing and it was evident that the man
had been instantly killed. The re-
mains were terribly mangled. Sheri-
dan g head was completely severed
from his body, one foot was cut off
and the other crushed, both arms were
badly mangled. The police in the city
were notified of the finding Of the body
and an ambulance was taken out and
the remains removed to the Miller and
Cosgrove morgue. AS Coroner F. E.
Andre was out Of the city Judge Ran
dali of the Municipal Court was called
and he directed that the remains be
brought to Kenosha and the inquest
will be. held at the morgue late this
afternoon.
Little or no details of the tragic
death Of Sheridan have as yet been OBJ
tanned and it is probable that it will
never be known just how he met his
death. Sheridan had worked all day
Saturday and when he left his home late
in the evening he notified his relatives
that he was going to join a fishing
party at Hooker Lake for Sunday.
The members of the party, three in
number, had planned to go to the lake
early in the afternoon, but one of them
was unable to make the regular train
and rather than give up the trip they
decided to go out on the freight train
which leaves for the west just after ten
O. clock in the evening. Sheridan had
formerly been a brakeman on the road
and was popular among the railway
men and for this reason he had little
trouble in finding passage for them on
the freight train.
No one saw Sheridan fall from the
train and in fact he was not missed
until after the freight had passed sew
eral stations. Later on the men on
the train were advised that his dead
body had been picked up at the cross
ing. 1t is said that these men can
give no information in regard to the
manner in which Sheridan met his
death, but they will be in Kenosha to
attend the inquest. The body of
Sheridan was identified by one Of the
men who had planned to be member
of the fishing party, but who changed
his mind early in the evening.
Sheridan was unmarried. He had
resided in Kenosha for many years and
had large number of friends in the
city. The story. Of his tragic death
when it become known on Sunday morn
ing caused profound sensation.

Annual Report Of Chief Of Police
Shows Nearly a Thousand
Arrests in a Year
URGES LARGER POLICE FORCE
Fees Received From Use Of the Wagon
Go Long Way Toward Provid-
ing for its Maintenance
and Operation

The annual report Of the chief of
police which has been fled with the
city clerk shows that during the year
closing with June 1st the department
was exceedingly busy. In fact the re-
port shows that the year was the
busiest in the history Of the depart
ment. The report shows that the total
number of arrests made by the depart
ment in the year was GIG. AS in
former years large number of arrests
were for intoxication, the total num-
Der on this charge being $50 184 peo-
pie were arrested for disturbing the
peace, ~ on suspicion, 116 on charges
of assault and battery and 50 for US
ing obscene or abusive language. Of
this number arrested 404 paid fines,
200 were discharged without a hear
ing, 81 were discharged in court, As
paid costs, 10 were held to the Circuit
Court, 131 committed to jail, sent to
the reform school at Waukesha, s to
Green Bay reformatory and 10 to the
state prison at Waupun.
The report shows that the patrol
wagon recently installed by the de-
partment is rapidly paying for itself
and in the year the wagon was called
for 634 cases. In addition to this the
wagon was sent out for 81 fire calls
and 35 calls for ambulance service. In
every case where the wagon was sent
out a fee Of a dollar was collected from
the man arrested and these fees went
into the special fund for the main
tenance Of the wagon. The wagon is
not self supporting as yet, but it is
constantly coming into more general
use and there is no doubt but that
within year or so it will pay for it's
keep.
The report showed that the fees col
lected during the year amounted to a
total Of q little over 81, 100 all of which
was turned into the city treasury The
stolen property recovered amounted in
value to $2,663.35 and the stolen prop
erty not recoveder was shown by the
report to be 500. During the year the
department killed 157 animals, 229
bicycles were picked up and returned
to their owners and IS lost children
were found and restored to their homes.
The department answered 1920 tele-
phone calls during the year.
In closing his report the chief strong
ly urged that the Council and the Fire
and Police Commission take some steps
to add more men to the force stating
that the growth of the city had been
such in the past few years that there
was big demand for more men on
the force and that some provision
must be made for an increase in the
force if the patrol system was to be
kept up to the present high standard.
The report will be taken up by the
Commission and it is probable that as
soon as possible the recommendations
will be carried out.

it is, there, are two ways OF doing IT.
One is the placing OF entertainment OF

ones own home and pocketbook, and
the other is entertaining within ones
means at all times.
The woman who entertains beyond
her means makes every effort TO sacrf-
fee and ecoponlize in every other way
except where her friends are concerned
For them she puts her best foot for

false impression OF what she has. Only

cations may be repaid. II a single

back into the game. Both outdoor and
indoor baseball are receiving much at

NEW OVERTHROW RULE.
Runner Entitled To Two Balls by Re-
vised Issue.

Cincinnati, July H.-An official order,
closely defining the ground rules relating
to overthrown balls, was issued today by
President Harry Pulliam of the National
Baseball league.
President Pulliam has sent the order to
all club presidents and managers giving
notice of the change, which says that
in future umpires are to judge of where
the base runner is when the overthrow
is made and the base runner is then to
be allowed to go to the base for which
he was headed and then take one more.
The change in the ground rules govern
ing overthrows into the crowd or into a
stand Is the outgrowth OF protested
game between Brooklyn and Pittsburg.
The new order was made public by
President Pulliam just before he left for
New York this afternoon.

Veteran Twirler Will Probably Retire

New York. July 21.-Jack Chesbro, one

ably will retire from baseball unless he is
claimed by one of the major league clubs
within a few days Waivers on the once
formidable twirler have been asked by the
New York American League club, and
as Chesbro is well-to-do and has a pros
porous lumber business in Conway, Mass,
he probably will quit the diamond. Ches-
bro has been unable to regain the skill
that made him terror to the batsmen
of the National league when he pitched
for Pittsburg, and later with the local
club of the American league.

Big SURPRISE IN
TENNIS TOURNEY

Augusta, Ca, July H.-The surprise of
the day in the South Atlantic tennis tour
nament was the defeat of Val Dawson
by Lee this afternoon In the semi-finals
in singles.
The play today was very fast and ex-
citing and a large gallery was attracted
to the courts. Lowry and Philips played
in excellent form in doubles, and from
their work it was plainly seen that they
will have to be reckoned with in the
finals.
Miss Evans, last years champion, de-
feated Miss Galloway this afternoon and
won the ladies' singles.
Tomorrow Lee will play Bridges of
North Carolina for position in the finals.
The winner will play j, Dawson, and

DETROIT AFTER
ATKINS AND RUDY

Atlanta, July H.-(specisl.) Tommy At
kins and Rudy Schwenck for Detroit
These two men have been recommend
ed to President Navin and Manager Jen-
nings by Jack Horner, scout and ex-big
league player, and already Homer has
been asked to get an option on Schwenck.
Just what action Detroit will take In
the Atkins case is uncertain, but Scout
Horner has given him the strongest kind
of recommendation, and states his belief
that Little Tommy is the best left
handler in the league. In the past Detroit
has always played Horners tips to win,
and the Tigers are not likely to overlook
this chance.
Babb has been aske-s to give an option
on Schwenck, and will doubtless do so as
soon as he can get In communication with
President Coleman.
