TELEPHONE SERVICE DEFICIENT
Motorman and Conductor Declare that
Telephone Dispatch System Had
Been Out of Working Order For Two
Days Before Accident.

"That the said John Goergen came
to his death, at 6:55 p. m. on Oct. 9Th,
in Somers, Kenosha County, Wis, as the
result oof injuries received by being
accidently struck by car 1908 Of the
Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light
company. We the jury find that the
headlight Of said car 1908 was de-
fective and out of order and that the
telephone dispatch system of said rail
way company was also out of order
for two days prior to and at the time
Of said accident and that we the jury
believe that the above accident result
ing in the death of the said John
Goergen, would have been avoidable
provided the equipment of said railway
company had been in perfect condi-
ton"
This is the verdict of the coroner s
jury called to examine into the death of
John Goergen killed in the COLLISION
north of the city on Wednesday even
ing and it places the liability for the
accident squarely on the shoulders of
the railway company. Many witnesses
were examined at the inquest and it
was midnight before the verdict of the
,ufy was returned The most interest
ing evidence was given by Joseph
Baron, conductor and William Burk
hardt both Milwaukee men. These two
men were in charge Of the car and they
seemed to make no effort to conceal
the fact that the car was defective
in the way of headlights when it left
Che Kenosha station. The evidence of
the two men conceded in every point.
This showed that the headlight on the
car had been burning when the car
reached Kenosha but when it was
switched to the other end of the car it
failed to burn. The men testified that
they were working on orders to keep
the cars running on scheduled time and
that they were aware Of the fact that
the telephone dispatch system of the
company, had not been good working
order for some time.
They had been forced to call the
train dispatcher in Raiine from the
private telephone at the Curtis farm
in order to advise the company that
an accident had occurred. It was
the sentiment Of the jury that the men
in charge of the car had done all in
their power to make the car safe and
for this reason they should be exhon-
Grated from blame in the death of
Goergen.
The two members of the crew testi-
fed that the car was running at a rate
of fifteen miles an hour when the col
Esion took place. There was no evil
dence to show contributory negligence
save the fact that the wagon tracks at
the place of the accident Indicated that
Goergen had been driving along the
track from point 500 feet north of
the place where the collision took
place.

Bob The Evening News Dog Died
This Morning After EVENT. Career.

Bob" The Evening News dog,
probably better known than any dog
in Kenosha died this morning. After
life which had been marked with
exciting escapes the old dog died in
his bed at his home. For the past
twelve years the dog had been a. fam
liam figure to the people of tue down
town district as in that time he had
been at the News Office every day. He
was taken with his fatal malady on
Thursday and paid his last visit to his
old haunts Thursday afternoon. He left
the Office with the force at six 'clock
but the trip home was a tiresome one
and when he reached his bed he never
left it, Death came as result of ad-
vanced years
Bob was sired in a famous eastern
kennel and was brought to Kenosha as
pup. He was dog of genial nature
and of remarkable intelligence. lie was
rated as the champion rat dog of the
city and his services had been in de-
mand among the proprietors of down
town business houses during the last
years of his life. Bob had the happy
faculty of making friends with every
one and he was especially well known
to the children. A good dog, a com
panionable little fellow be will be
greatly missed by those who had been
accustomed to see him daily during his
long life.
