Henry Hartnell Held at the
Co. Jail ON Charges Made
BY State Fire Marshal
ADMITS GUILT TO OFFICIALS

Henry Hartnell, member of a well
known family in the town of Salem,,
but man with long police record, is
in the county Jail charged with arson.
He was arrested by State Fire Marsh
al T. M. Purtell after the state official
had made an investigation of the burn
ing of big stack Of hay on the farm
of Henry Smith. The fire took place
last Friday night and the circumstances
attending it were of such an unusual
nature that the state fire marshal was
called to Salem to make an investiga-
ton OF the fire and his investigation
resulted in the arrest of Hartnell
Hartnell was arrested at his home
and he admitted that he had been re-
sponsible for the fire but at the time
insisted that he had lighted his pipe
while passing the Smith hay stack and
that the burning of it had been acct
dental. Later ON he admitted to the
State Fire Marshal that he had deliber-
ately set fire to the hay stack for the
pleasure of seeing it burn. The case
OF Hartnell is an unusual one and this
is the second time that he has been ar
rested on charges of arson. Two years
ago he was arrested on a charge of
setting fire to a warehouse connected
with q lumber yard at Salem. This
was they first time that he had been
brought into court charged with a
crime and he was released by the
court under suspended sentence.
Since that time Hartnell has spent a
lot OF time in the Jail here. He has
been repeatedly arrested on charges of
intoxication and vagrancy. The ofic-
ials claim that Hartnell is not re-
sponsible for his actions and that the
friends of the man should take some
steps to have him sent to the state
school for the feeble minded at Chin.
pewa Falls.
Hartnell makes no attempt to get out
of the fact that he set fire to the hav
stack. "Well, I suppose I'll go over
the road this time' was his only com
ment when seen at the Jail. Later he
said that ne was drunk at the time he
set fire to the hay stack.

The narrowness of the roads is not
the only evil the town boards through
out the county will have to look out
for. Some of the road commissioners
out in the country are extremely care
less in leaving open bitches in the
road longer than is necessary and even
through the night without protection.
Three specific cases have come to this
Office In the form of complaints dur
ing the past summer, where deep ditch
es running entirely across the road
were left open throughout the night
without any guard or light and serious
accidents have been narrowly ayerted.
One Of these was on what is known
as the wood-road in Somers Just short
distance out of the city; another was
in Pleasant Prairie on the Hannah
cross road and the other was in Bris-
toll on the Geneva road. To leave an
open ditch even at the side of the road
without q light is considered grave
otfense in cities, but when an open
ditch running entirely across the road
way of a main thoroughfare is left
over night without protection or light
of any kind, it seems to us to be be-
yond the limit and the town that al
lows such things to occur is in sooner
or later for heavy damages.

COMMISSION ACTS QUICKLY.
Railroad Commission of the State is
Efficient in Getting Reforms.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart re-
ceived a communication from the Wis
consin State Railroad Commission this
morning stating. that the complaint of
the city of Kenosha against the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway Com
pany in regard to insufficient protec-
ton of crossings had been taken up
with the officials of the company and
that the company had agreed to place
fag1nen at both Bronson and Hansen
street crossings. Attorney Wheeler,
who represents the company in Wis
consin has notified the commission to
this effect and copy Of the letter of
the attorney has been sent to the Ke-
nosha officials by the railroad commits
sion. 1t is thought that this will make
an end to the contest between the
company and the city over the flag
men.

Talk of Tampering With Jury Set at
Rest by Statement From Attorneys

Rest by Statement From Attorneys
Ugly stories Of tampering with jury
in the circuit court were going the
rounds of the city and county on Thur
day but these stories are denied by
court officials and attorneys. The jury
in question was the jury which heard
the suit of Edward Collier against the
town of Salem. The facts have been
brought out that the deputy sheriff in
charge of the jury on the night that it
was celebrating was told that the jury
decided to know the meaning of the
word proximate' which appeared in
the special verdict given the Jury by
the court and as deputy Babcock was
an accommodating bailiff he went out
and secured dictionary for the Jurors
This dictionary was given to the Jurors
without warrant from the court and
it is claimed that the fact that the
jurors received the book, will be one of
the main reasons advanced by the de-
PENDANT town board for a new trial. It
is declared that all other stories about
the jury are pure fabrications.

in the opera house in many a season
greeted the German players. The en-

music was given in the language of
the fatherland and to say that it made
hit would be putting it mildly. There
were many people in the audience who
