To Sell Intake

The council cleared the way for the
members Of the board of water com
missioners to dispose of the present in
take of the water company after the
building of a new intake and under
the vote of the council the commission
was given full power to dispose of the
intake with the understanding that the
price to be secured be not less than
$4,000. There was considerable op-
position to the move on the part of
some of the members of the council
and the mayor took occasion to declare
that he was unalterably opposed to the
sale Of the pipe to the Simmons Man
ufacturing Company or any other pur-
chaser. It was shown that it would
be Of no use to the water company
after the new intake was completed
and the vote on the sale was as fol-
lows: Ayes, Aldermen O'Brien, Timme.
simons, Hegeman, Swift, Higley, Har-
baugh, Marlatt. Nos, Alderman Geo.
Wade, Pirsch, Stemm, Willems, Werner
and John Wade.

Telephone Bills Paid

The question of the payment of the
telephone bills of the Kenosha Home
Telephone Company came up for a final
decision and it was shown that the
company had filed written agreement
to refund to the city all monies paid
if the Wisconsin Railway Commission
should decide that the city Of Keno
sha had a right to receive free phones
from the company. In this connec-
ton a resolution was passed directing
the mayor and the city attorney to APP
pear in person before the Wisconsin
Railway Commission and present to the
commission the contention of the city
in regard to its demand for free
phones. This step will be taken at
once and it is hoped that an early de-
cision on the question viii be secured.
By vote of to it was decided to
pay the bills and the matter is now
closed until the commission shall make
some decision in the case

To Prepare New Code


To Prepare New Code
The council took up the important
question of preparing a new code of
the ordinances Of the city and the com
mittee on judiciary was ordered to take
up this matter and report at the next
meeting of the council. It is held
that the new code is one of the great
est demands of the city as there has
been no revision of the book of ordi-
nances since 1884.
The bills of Thomas Donley for the
repairing of the breakwaters to the
north of English Court were sent to
the council, the total of the bills be-
ing $2,408 and the bills were ordered
paid with the understanding that the
orders are to be held until after the
new tax levy is collected. The COM
mittee on harbors and breakwater was
instructed to confer with Mr.. Donley
and seek to have him follow up the
work done with the repair of the break
waters between English Court and
Deming street it being planned to have
this work done with the opening of
the new season.
The old question of a rebate to the
property owners of Grand Avenue east
of the railway tracks on account of
the use of that street by the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company was brought
up and referred to the committee on
judiciary. 1t is expected that these
property owners will get their rebates
and the council will make a demand on
the railway company for an immediate
payment.
There was some discussion of the
question of municipality owned tele-
phone company which would furnish
phones at a very low rate, a discussion
of a new form of curb for the streets
which would contain pockets on either
side for the carrying of electric wires,
this being offered as a panacea for all
the wire troubles of the city. Mayor
Scholey sent communication to the
city asking that some steps be taken
to make wires safer and this matter
was referred to the committee on
streets and alleys to report at the next
meeting.
The council voted to appropriate
money to send George Osborne and the
members of his family back to England
on the receipt of letter from the
Bristish Vice Consul in Chicago which
stated that Osborne would not be re-
turned to this country. The man is
suffering from consumption and is in
the last stages of the disease. He is
ready to return to friends in England
and he will leave shortly after the
Christmas season. There was the usu-
al amount Of routine business and the
aldermen were kept busy until long af-
ter midnight.
Alderman Wright of Ft, Wayne, who
had been the guest of honor at the
session admitted later that Ft. Wayne
would have to yield the palm to Ke-
nosha and that the fair Indiana city
had nothing to compare with the Ke-
nosha Common Councik in action.

Stepnon horton ~ tne rOsut Of Oeoth
Last Saturday morning. word was
phoned in that Stephen Horton was
found In his corn crib, At his farm IL
miles north Of this city, with wound
In his head and unconscious. He had
eaten breakfast as usual and about half
an hour afterwards was found by his
sons wife, Mrs. Ira Horton. A 22-cali-
Der revolver, which he had bought the
day previous at Guenther's hardware
store, lay close by his side, with one
cartridge discharged.
Mr.. Horton was removed to the city
early In the afternoon and taken to the
Samaritan hospital, sioux City, on the
3:25 train. The wound was located
back Of the right ear, but probing as
deep as the surgeons dared failed to To-
cate the ball. Mr.. Horton is living at
the present time, but little hope of re-
covery is entertained. However, If per-
itonitis does not set in, there is u posi-
bility that he may rally.
During the week there have been
brief intervals when Mr.. Horton see med
to regain consciousness. At one of these
periods he was questioned as to how it
happened and he replied that it was an
accident. There are some other circum-
stances, however, that seem to point TO
the theory Of suicide. Several years
ago Mr.. Horton was injured In the head
in runaway accident and he has been
a great sufferer from neuralgia since.
Mr.. Horton came to this section SO
years ago this fall and is one OF the few
very old settlers OF the county. His in
