FRIGHTENED BY A REVOLVER
Supposed Insane Man Who Had Caused
Trouble Among Farmers is Landed in
Jail After Hard Struggle With
the Turnkey and Undersheriff.

A man supposed to be insane, who
claims his name is Bob Breedlove and
his residence as Illinois, made a vic
ious attack on the life of Turnkey
Nicholas Fonk, Of Sheriff Gunter s
force at point on the Milwaukee road
a few miles west of the city late
Thursday afternoon and he is now be-
ing held at the county Jail pending an
Investigation into his mental condition.
Breedlove claims to be forty years of
age and he says he has six children
but he does not know where they are
lie has visions Of great wealth and
believes that he owns much of the farm
land in Kenosha county. It was this
belief that led him to go out along the
Milwaukee road on Thursday afternoon
and going to the homes of many well
known farmers he demanded that they
get out of the houses and surrender
the property to him. Breedlove threat
ened to use all sorts of force and so
terrified women and children along his
route that the sheriff was notified and
Turnkey Fonk and Under-sherif Dr.
j. HI. Veitch were sent out to arrest
him. Breedlove was found sitting on
stone along the side of the road and
he showed no indication of being VIC
ious when he was approached by the
officers. Fonk and Veitch attempted
to get him into the buggy when, quick
as flash, Breedlove drew a big knife
out of his pocket and lunged at Fonk.
The turnkey got out of the way and
the man then started for the under
sheriff but by this time Fonk had
drawn his revolver and was holding it
close to the head of the frenzied man.
This seemed to tame him and the offic-
ers were able to secure possession of
the knife after a struggle. The two
men finally got their charge into the
buggy and brought him to jail.
|
Breedlove was raving at the jail
this morning and he declared that the
turnkey was an escaped prisoner from
a state prison in Indiana and that he
had been trailing him for more than
forty years. AS this is considerably
more than Fonk has been on earth it is
presumed that the charge made against
the official is not based on facts.
Many complaints have been launched
against Breedlove by the farmers liv-
ing along the Milwaukee road and it
is probable that an application will be
made in the County Court for an ex-
animation into his mental condition.
He is now totally disarmed, but the
officials at the Jail are keeping close
watch on him fearing new outbreak.
1t is thought that he comes from
somewhere in Indiana and it is sup
posed that he wandered across the
country all the way to Kenosha.

WRECK PROVES FATAL FOR SLIDING SEA VICIOUS ATTACK PATIENTS ARE MED
Post Office Employees in SEES
sion in Chicago Take up
Fees for Registered Mail
WOULD PRACTICE ECONOMY


1t is probable that a recommends
ton will be made to Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock, which may be trans
mitted to congress, for a sliding scale
of fees for registered mail. It was
recently announced that the registra7
tion fee for letters and packages would
be advanced to 10 cents, but the ma
tional association Of supervising en-
ployes of the United States recommend
ed plan for a sliding scale, accord
ing to the value of the material to be
registered
The association opened its annual
convention at the Grand Pacific hotel,
Chicago, and this was one Of the many
subjects under discussion.
Other things discussed were the
efficiency Of the service, which includ-
ed proposal to place all assistant
postmasters in smaller cities under
civil service
Several speeches were made upon
the subject of economy in the depart
ment, apropos of recent announcements
from Washington that expenses were
to be cut down, and it was the uani-
nous sentiment Of the 100 delegates
that economy should be practiced
wherever possible without hampering
the service
The sliding scale registration fee in
cludes a proposition to establish a
minimum fee and to charge upward
from that when the government is call
ed upon to guarantee more than $25
valuation.
The convention will hold sessions
this morning and tonight there will be
banquet at the Grand Pacific of Chi
cago, at which Postmaster Daniel A..
Campbell will preside. The sessions
will close on Wednesday.

AFTER 67 YEARS ABSENCE
George Hale, Wisconsin Official Visits
the Town of His Birth

Perry Q. Griste, Of East Troy, Wis,
came to Chardon Thursday to visit
relatives. He was accompanied by
George Hale, collector of the port of
Kenosha, Wis, and also grocery mer
chant of that city.
The two gentlemen are old friends.
Both are SO years of age. Mr.. Griste
grew to manhood in Hambden, while
Mr.. Hale was born in the Zenas War
ren house on Water street in Chardon,
So years ago. His mother, before her
marriage to Obed Pease Hale, was
Laura B. King. She was the first
white child born in Chardon. She
died 90 years ago, and his father has
been dead IL years.
Mr.. Hale removed to Wisconsin with
his parents in 1912, when he was 2
years old, the trip being made over
land from here by II families.
The Hales settled in the woods in
Kenosha county, which was their home
afterward. Tt is Mr.. Hale s first visit
to Chardon in 81 years. He says:
grew up in Wisconsin and during
the rebellion served three years in the
33rd Wisconsin Infantry. Then /
married and farmed it until 1870, when
| engaged in the grocery business and
and still at it on the main street in Ke-
nosha. | have wife, three sons and
a daughter, and have also lost two
children. Albert Hale, of Hambden,
was my uncle and Mrs. J. B. Miller
of Munson, is my cousin.
Mr.. Griste, who has many relatives
and old friends here, where he has
visited regularly since his wife died,
a few years ago, has banking and other
interests at East Troy, Wis He says
it was high time that Mr.. Hale visited
his native town and that he persuaded
him to come.-Gegange Ohio Republi-

National Committee Leader
Of Fight on Consumption
Says Doctors Are in Error
CLAIM SOUTH OFFERS NO AID

Cruel and inhuman practices are al
legged in statement given out today
by the National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
against the eastern doctors who per-
sist in sending dying cases of consump-
ton to the southwest.
Fully 1850 persons hopelessly diseas-
ed with tuberculosis annually come to
die IN the states of California, arizona
New Mexico, Texas and Colorado,
most of them by order of their physi-
clans. The statement, which is based
upon the testimony of well-known ex-
perts, and all available statistics,
shows that at least SO per cent of
those who go to the southwest every
year for their health are so far adj
vanced in their disease, that they can
not hope for a cure in any climate,
under any circumstances. More than
this, at least 60 per cent of these ad-
vanced cases are so poor that they
have not sufficient means to provide
for the proper necessaries of life,
which means that 1915 consumptives
are either starved to death, or forced
to accept charitable relief every year
1t is not an uncommon thing, the
National Association declares, for
whole families, who can hardly exc
out living in the East, to migrate
to the west in the hope of saving the
life of some member of the family
In most instances, the abject poverty
of such cases forces them to beg, or
to live on a very low level. Often
consumptives who cannot afford the
proper travelling accommodations are
found dead on the trains before reach
ing their destination. The resources
of almost every charitable organiza-
ton in the southwest are drained
every year to care for cases which
would be self-supporting in their east
ern homes.
1t cost; on an average, at least $50
per month for the support of con-
sumptive in the southwest, including
some medical attention. The Nation
al Association strongly urges no one
to go to this section who has not suf-
fcient funds to care for himself at.
least one year, in addition to what his
family might require of him during
this time. It is also urged that no
persons who are far advanced with
tuberculosis go to so distant climate.
Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends a person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
of cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At
tempts are also being made in south
ern California and in Texas to exclude
INDECENT consumptives or to send them
back to the east.

TO PLAY RACINE
Manager Breen Arranges for Three
Games with Racine Team

Peter Breen, manager of the Keno
sha base ball team, was in Racine
Thursday and arranged series of
three games between his club and the
Racine Wisconsin Illinois League team.
The agreement was reached with Man
ager William Armstrong, after a short
consultation. The first game will be
played in Racine. on Sept. 10; second
game at Kenosha on Sept. 26. and the
third game on neutral grounds. Man
ager Breen said that he would be will
ing to play for the entire gate re
ceipts If the Racine manager desired.
Kenosha has a very strong team and
Manager Breen is confident that they
will give the Racine team a good argu-
ment No doubt the series of games
will attract much attention both in Ra-
cine and Kenosha, as well as in cities
of the state.

ROBERTS GETS JOB
Named as Supervisor of Census for the
First Wisconsin District

Kenosha politicians who were lick
ing their chops in anticipation of an
appointment to the fat job of super
intending the taking of the census in
the first district got a bad disappoint-
ment last night when it was announc.
ed that President Taft had named
former sheriff D. Elmer Roberts of Ra-
cine for this position. The appointment
was made at the suggestion of Con-
gresham Cooper. Mr.. Roberts will
have the duty of appointing his own
assistants and it is expected that there
will be a grand rush among the minor
politicians in Kenosha for the jobs in
this county. The work Of. taking the
census will not begin for three months.
but It is expected that the appoint
ments will be made long before that
time.

One man was fatally injured and an
other very seriously injured in col
lision between a caboose and a car
Of coal near the Balm station on the
Northwestern road just after midnight
this morning.
The Dead.
William Starr, aged 80 years, resid-
ing at 1929 st. Louise street, Chicago.
Crushed in wrecked caboose; pelvis
crushed Died at the Kenosha Hospi-
tai at O'Clock this morning.
The Injured.
Timothy Hollerin, Chicago, bridge
man employed by the railway com
pany, caught in wrecked caboose and
terribly bruised. Injuries are not
thought to be fatal
The two men were bridge men in the
employe of the company and had taken
night train at Harvard in an effort
to reach their home in Chicago before
this morning. They had planned to
come into Kenosha on the freight and
take an early train to Chicago
When Balm was reached the freight
train started to back into track lead
ing to the coal chutes of the company
but it is supposed that switch was
misplaced and the caboose of the train
crashed into the coal car, completely
demolishing the caboose. Both Starr
and Hollerin were found pinned in
among the broken timbers of the ca
boose and it was some time before the
debris could be removed sufficiently to
make it possible to extricate the two
injured meu. Both Of them were con
scious when removed from the ruins
Of the wrecked car
AS soon as possible the Kenosha
officials for the company were notified
OF the accident and special train was
made up and hurried to Balm. On
the train were Agent Parr and Doctors
H. A. Robinson and j. F. Hastings
and number of railroad men AS
soon as possible the injured men were
cared for at the scene of the accident
and then placed on the special train
and hurried back to Kenosha. They
were removed to the Kenosha Hospital
in an ambulance and at that time it was
thought that both of them would re-
cover. Starr, it was seen, was very
badly injured. The pelvis had been
crushed, there was a rupture of the
bladder and he suffered an internal
hemorrhage shortly after he reached.
the hospital. The physicians remain
ed with him until short time before
his death. Starr was conscious at the
hospital, but could give only a limited
story of the wreck. He stated that
he was caught in the timbers of the
wrecked car and that he had no chance
to save himself. 1t is thought that
both of the men were trying to get a
little sleep when the crash came and
they had no chance to get away from
the wrecked car
The officials of the railway company
at once began an investigation into
the cause of the accident, but they are
not yet ready to fxe the blame for the
death of Starr and the serious injury
of his companion. ,,..
The accident caused great excite
ment in the yards of the railway com.
pany and when the first report came
in it was thought that a large number
of people had been killed or injured.
All the ambulances in the city were
at the station when the special train
bearing the two injured men arrived.
