HITCH IN BOND BIDS.
National City Bank Bid Provides In
terest Be Paid on Bonds.

There is a slight hitch in the sale
of the bonds of the city issued to
raise funds for the building of the new
city hall on account of the fact that
the bid of the National City Bank of
Chicago which concern offered the high
est premium on the bonds provides that
the interest and principal shall be paid
in Chicago instead of in Kenosha as
provided in the advertisement for the
bids. Representatives of the bank who
were here to personally present the bid
insisted that the bank would be per
fectly willing to accept this amend
ment to the bid but the n. w. Halsev 8
representative objected declaring that
his bank would offer as high a. prem
ium if it were stipulated that the in
terest be paid in Chicago. The bid of
the n. W Halsey company was second
III the list of providing for a premium
of $4,000. The whole matter will come
up before the city council at its meet
ing on next Wednesday evening.

AUTO AS DESTROYER
Farmers of Somers Claim
Autosare Killing Chick
ems in Large Numbers
ROADS STREWN WITH THEM

''As fowl killers automobiles are
great success y said prominent farmer
of Somers township this morning. Gone
day last week I rode down from Mil
waukee behind spanking good team
of horses On the highway between
South Milwaukee and Kenosha limits I
counted no less than sixteen dead chick
ems. Making inquiries I found that the
fowls had been run down and killed by
automobile drivers passing through the
country roads Besides these chickens
were four dead turkeys, and three
ducks.
Farmers, owners of fowls, said that
while in some instances accidents of
this kind are unavoidable, in the major
ity of cases drivers of machines de-
light, when they discover chickens or
other fowl on the highway, to hit up
the autos at speed of % to 40 miles
an hour, with no other purpose than
to see how many chickens they can
strike and kill
Naturally, when an automobile
rushes upon the fowl at such tremend
Gus speed they become bewildered and
fly from one side of the road to the
other and are killed On account of the
wholesale slaughter of the chickens and
turkeys, in every part of Kenosha coun-
ty and sections Of the state, farmers
are up in arms and declare that some
law must be passed to protect them.
There have been a number of cases
where hQgses and stray cows have been
run down and pigs killed.
This is the story of one farmer, but
it is the same thing with almost every
tilIer of the soil met. Farmers realize
that the automobile has come to stay,
but they believe and will insist that us
ual precaution shall be taken when the
highways are filed with chickens or
other fowls and that the thirty and
forty mile speed shall cease.

SEEK MISSING PAIR.
Police Asked To Locate William salvert
and Woman Alleged to Be in Mich.

The police of the city have received
a request that they make an effort to
find some trace Of William Salvert and
woman alleged to be residents of Ke-
nosha who left here on Wednesday and
who are said to be at Battle Creek,
Mich. The name of the young woman
in the ease has not been given out and
the police profess utter ignorance of
her identity. The request for informa-
ton as to the whereabouts of the couple
was made by boarding house keeper
who alleges that several articles of
clothing and jewelry are missing from
the boarding house and he believes that
the discovery of Salvert would throw
some light on the missing articles. The
police have as yet found no trace of
the pair but the Battle Creek police
have been asked to look for them.

Recognition of Bravery Comes After
Thirty-Iwo Years.
Washington, d. c., October S.-After
thirty-two years of waiting. James
Cummins, OF Custer. Mich, quiet
hero, too modest to tell OF his own
bravery. has received from the Treas
ury Department gold medal for his
part in saving forty-four lives from
the wreck of the grain barge j. II.
Rutter. of Ludington. Mich. on No
vember 1. 1873.
Cummins was the engineer of the
government harbor tug, Colonel Gra-
ham. In raw November gale the
Rutter went down In eighteen feet of
water when the car was shifted. and
drove the crew of forty-four into the
rigging. There the men hung night
and day. the icy waters breaking
over them.
When Captain Frederick Kendrick,
OF the Graham volunteered to tow a
lifeboat out to the wreck and the
masters of sturdier craft had shook
their heads and declared 1t a lost
hope. Cumnlins, down in the dark hold
OF the tug stood by the throttle and
encouraged his firemcn In a sea that
threatened to swamp the tug and car
ried off the lifeboat. they fought to
the lee side OF the wreck and took off
the men.
Captain Nendrick got a medal inn
mediately, but the engineer below was
forgotten until Representative James
Mclaughlin recently heard of his case
and brought 1t to the attention Of
the Treasury Department.

II look to see the control of the Vir-

When 1 say the Vanderbilts win

through the Lake Shore. Why did the
Lake shore buy the Hooking Valleys
Toledo and Ohio Central and kanawna

to Gauley, w. Va, for Gauley is just
across the river from Deepwater, the
western terminus of the virginian. All

up with the Virginian is to build a
little bridge across a narrow river.

If the Lake Shore were to turn up

competition of strong road Is more
desirable than that of another not SO
