N.
have been about thirty thousand
suits brought This | believe is ala
wrong. for if the government was
really wishing 10 help the Indians
and to save them. their lands and
money il seems that the first thing
that they would have done woulC
have been 10 take one decd of each
kind that is, one deed transfcrrng
onc.fourth of the surplus. one tran
fcrrng a fun blood dead claim, l,fr
estate. curtcsy etc. think that al
most fifteen different suits would
have covered every kind of deed ro
corded against indian lands.
The government could hay"
brought these suits at very little oN.
pcnso 10 the government or Indian
and these could have been tcst case.
and would no doubt have been pass
ed on by the highest courts by this
time.
l. is safe 10 say that very few
transactions would have been made
until these suits were settled and
when they were. every one who had
a deed on Indian land Identical w.'l
those passed on. would have been
only TOO glad 10 deed back the land
if the suit was favorable 10 the In
dian. or 10 have corrected any cr.
ror ordered by the courts.
In this way the government would
have saved hundreds Of thousand,
of dollars and would have saved
TO the people who bought this land
hundreds of thousands of dollars ion
costs and Attorney fees, say moth.

Well Known Silver Lake Man Be-
Iieves He Was Shot by
Abraham Lincoln
TALKS lNCESSANTlY AT JAIL
Shows Signs of Acute Religious De
mentia Before He is Committed
TO the State Hospital at Men
dota by Judge Slosson

One Of the most unusual cases of
dementia known in Kenosha in many
years was brought to light in the
County Court this morning when Ru-
dolph Scheele of Silver Lake, a resi-
dent Of that village for many years
and widely known in the town of Sa-
lem, was adjudicated insane and sent
to the State Hospital at Mendoza for
treatment
Scheele has been employed as tower
man by the Wisconsin Central Railway
Company at Silver Lake for several
years and his insanity became danger
GUS few days ago. He has unusual
delusions. A few nights ago, seem
ingly in the Jest Of health, he called
DR.. B. A. Becker to his home declar-
ing that he had been shot while work
ing in the tower on the previous even
ing. The man claimed that he had
been shot in the mouth and not mis-
trusting that he was suffering from
mental trouble Dr. Becker started to
make an examination He found no
trace of bullet and yet Scheele con
tinued to assert that he had been shot
In the face. DR.. Becker then began
to make an investigation into the al
legged shooting and the man declared
that he had been shot by Abraham
Lincoln and that the shot had followed
the wires into the tower striking him
in the mouth. Scheele continued to
work after this time, but he was
closely watched by the physicians. A
few days ago he was seized with an
acute religious mania. The man had
never been a. church going man SO far
as the people Of the neighborhood
knew, but he became embued with
great religious enthusiasm and in a
remarkable manner talked of the COM
ing of the New Christ = He would
discuss the matters for hours and
usually he seemed to be entirely
rational. He was brought to Keno
sha Sunday evening and since reach
ing the jail he had talked almost in
cessantly. He awoke just after six
CLOCK and began preaching and he
continued talking without a break I'M
til after ten O'Clock when he was com
pletely exhausted. The man declared
that he expected to be released from
jail during the day and when he was
brought out into the Office for con
ference with the doctors he was seiz-
ed with a fit Of intense religious
fevor
He will be taken to Mendoza some
time this afternoon Scheele has a
wife and several children at Silver
Lake.

Grant Simmons, Son Of Z. C. Sim.
mons, Jr., Shot by Younger
Brother at Camp Lake
Injured Boy Taken From Camp Lake to
the Presbyterian Hospital in Chi
cago for Treatment-In Injuries
May Prove Serious

A deplorable accident occurred at
Camp Lake in the western part of the
county late Sunday afternoon when
Grant Simmons, aged IA years, son of
q. G. Simmons, Jr, was accidently shot
and seriously wounded by his brother
Zalmon G. Simmons, LII. The iniur-
ed boy was taken directly from Camp
Lake to the Presbyterian Hospital in
Chicago where he is now being treated
and the friends and relatives are hope
full that the injury will not prove
permanent one. The boy was shot
with twenty-five calibre rife, the
ball going through both of his feet.
The two Simmons boys have made it
a practice for some time to go to Camp
Lake on Saturday evening and remain
over Sunday and in keeping with this
custom they went out to the lake last
Saturday night and with perfect
weather they had enjoyed a great day.
Late in the afternoon they decided to
try their hand at target shooting and
while Zalmon had the rife Grant
went to arrange the target which was
some distance away. He was busy ar
ranging the target when in some man
ner the rife was discharged and the
bullet struck him in the feet. With a
cry of pain he fell to the ground and
the younger boy realizing what had
happened at once summoned aid from
one of the hotels in the neighborhood.
AS soon as possible the injured boy
was carried to the Camp Lake Hotel
and James II. McVey Immediately
made arrangements to have him cared
for. The relatives in Kenosha were
notified of the accident and they at
once hurried to the lake and made ar
rangements to have him taken to the
hospital in Chicago for treatment.
Late Sunday evening the injured
boy was taken from Camp Lake to
Chicago. He did not seem to be in
great pain and it is hoped that the
injury will not prove worse than flesh
wound.
The injured boy is well known
among the boys of the city and the
report Of his injury which became
public this morning caused a profound
sensation.
At the Simmons home this morning
no details of the accident could be
secured as it was stated that both the
father and mother of the injured boy
were with him in the hospital in Chi
cago and would remain with him dur
ing the day.
A telephone message from the hospi-
tai this afternoon states that the physi-
clans have successfully probed for the
bullet and it has been removed and
young Simmons is resting very com
fortably The doctors in their exami-
nation Of the wounds Of the boy found
that no bones had been broken by the
bullet and the wounds are largely
flesh wounds Outside Of the usual
dangers from blood poisoning the
wounds are not considered very seri-
GUS, but the young man will be laid
up for several weeks.

Manufacturers Association Of ke.
nosha Holds an interesting
Meeting on Friday
ALL OFFICERS REELECTED
Every Plant in the Association Repre-
sented at the Meeting and All
Are Satisfied With Results
Accomplished in Year

The annual meeting of the Manu-
facturers' Association Of Kenosha, was
held at the offices Of the association
in the Scholer & Funck building on
Friday afternoon and the meeting
proved to be a very interesting one.
This meeting came at the end Of the
first fifteen months Of the life Of the
association and the men associated
with the great manufacturing inter
ests of the city were enthusiastic over
the manner in which the plans for the
association had been realized Every
plant having membership in the asso-
citation was represented at the meet
ing and the men represented factories
whose pay roll for the year just closed
amounted to more than five million
dollars. The factories represented in
the association employed during the
past year total Of 8,400 people ex-
elusive Of Office help.
Many matters Of great interest to
the members Of the association were
taken up and discussed. A number
of the contractors Of the city sent a
communication to the association ask
ing that they be permitted to work
in harmony with it. This matter will
be taken up again at later meeting.
The association was also asked to take
up a plan for providing burial for all
employed men by the payment Of a
small benefit. This matter was not
disposed of, but it will be discussed
at later meeting and in the meantime
the workings of such a plan will be
Investigated by the officials Of the as
ISOLATION.
The most interesting matter laid be-
fore the meeting was the reports Of
w. L. Yule, the secretary and Conrad
Shearer, the assistant secretary, who
is in charge Of the Association En-
ployment Bureau. This showed that
the bureau had been a complete sue
cess in the past fifteen months. The
report showed that the bureau had
taken care of the employment Of more
, than 1000 people in the fifteen months.
At the present time the total registra-
, ton in the bureau is 9,210.
The figures for the month Of Febru-
airy just closed were particularly inter.
esting to the general public as they
showed that in that month 200 more
men had been put to work than had
been let out. This is the high water
mark for the association and it shows
that the industries in Kenosha are
rapidly returning to their former con
dition.
All of the work Of the association
will be continued during the coming
year and there will be no changes il
the methods Of operation. The fol
lowing officers were elected for til,
year:
President Thomas B. Jeffrey.
Vice President-Z. G. Simmons, Jr.
! Secretarv-W. L. Yule.
Assistant Seey-Conrad shearer.
| Treasurer Herbert L. Shearer.
| Executive Committee Thomas B
Jeffrey, 2. G. Simmons, Jr., w. L. Yule

Frost Not Represented When Suit
for $685. 900 Against Him Is
Heard in Circuit Court
TO F0RECL0SE BIG MORTGAGE
Claims of George Rockwell for Large
Sums Of Money Borrowed by
Frost Placed in Hands of
Peter Fisher as Referee

| In the Circuit Court this morning
the first of the big cases against A.
lC. Frost and his various interests was
brought to a hearing, the case being
the suit of George Rockwell Of Chica-
Igo, against Frost and the other com
Ipanies which had been under his man
lagement. The fact that Frost is down
land out was shown by the fact that
while the amount at issue was more
than $4,000 Frost himself was not
Ieven represented by an attorney. The
hearing was on a foreclosure of a
mortgage covering lands in Racine
and Kenosha counties and it was stat
ed that there would be no contest. It
was heard before Peter Fisher as
referee and decision in it will be
handed down in a few days. Otto r.
Hansen Of Milwaukee, represented the
plaintiff, while the companies named
with Frost in the suit were represented
by Judge d. H. Flett Of Racine and
1Quarles, Spence and Quarles of Mil
waukee. None of the attorneys raised
any objections during the taking of
the testimony and the only thing
sought by the referee was to get at
the amount that was due Rockwell.
The suit was brought to foreclose mort
gage on land owned by Frost in Ra-
cine and Kenosha counties and the
total amount was over $4,000 This
was made up Of a number Of notes
which had been given by A. c. Frost
and Company to Attorney Hansen in
1906 and 1907 and the loans were made
by Hansen for Rockwell, a Chicago
capitalist. In a former statement of
this suit when the papers were fled
in the Circuit Court the amount was
stated to be much larger, but this was
a clerical error. It is said that the
property covered by the mortgages is
worth considerably more than the
amount claimed in the suit and for
this reason the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Railway Company and the other
interests named as defendants were
closely watching the outcome of the
suit.
Tn connection with this suit it is
stated that A. c. Frost has lost all
hopes of securing possession of his
former properties this year and there
is now a great fight on to force the
sale of the Chicago and Milwaukee
electric to other parties.
The London Registry Investment
Company which now owns the Keno
sha Electric Railway, is one of the
active bidders for the property, but it
is certain that there will be a mum
Der of other bidders and it is possible
that a sale will take place within the
next few days. Frost has filed pro
test against the sale in the courts, but
it is said that receivers Of the com.
pany are favorable to such a disposal
Of the property.

WILL ARREST BARRIERS z
Chief of Police Orders officers to Stop
Barking" on Streets

Kenosha has joined with other cities
to do away with the barker NUS
ance and this morning Chief of Police
0 Hare gave orders to his men to
arrest every person found barking"
on the street on a charge Of disorderly
conduct. A Darker is man with
"a megaphone and his services are used
by theatres in seeking tc advertise
the shows at the various places. There
was a time when the man will the
megaphone was an oddity on Kenosha
streets, but at the present time there
are about dozen who make bust
ness of 9 barking" and the din on the
streets is such that it has become a
public nuisance Sunday the church
services were disturbed on account of
the incessant workings of these men.
Other cities in the state have passed
ordinances against these men and it is
probable that Kenosha will follow suit
but in the meantime the men will be
charged with disturbance.
