HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Forbes Taken on Bench Warrant From
the United States Court After Be-
ing Terribly Beaten by His Old
Rival.

Harry Forbes, former Kenosha box
ing instructor and former feather
weight champion, got a double dose
of it at New York last night for after
he had been beaten into insensibility
by his old rival Abe Attel and his
seconds had thrown up the sponge at
the end Of the sixth round of what was
to have been ten round fight, a
United States Marshall took the place
of the referee in the ring and produc-
ed bench warrant issued at Council
Bluffs. Iowa, and arrested Forbes on
a charge of wilfully using the United
States mails to defraud Forbes had
not recovered from the knockout
punch given to him by Attel when
the marshal appeared and served the
warrant and it was some minutes be-
fore he recovered from his dazed con-
dition and recognized that he was in
the clutch of the officials of the gov.
eminent.
Forbes went east some three weeks
ago intending to regain his laurals as
fighter and after he had put away
couple of fast featherWeights he got
a chance to meet Abe Attel who had
wrested the honors from him some
time ago. Attel put it all over
Forbes. In fact he was so far superb
or to the Kenosha man that there was
never a time when Forbes had any
chance of winning and from the sound
of the gong in the first round it was
a foregone conclusion that Forbes was
whipped.
All the time that Forbes was receiv-
ing his beating deputy United States
marshal sat by the ring side watching
the fight. The warrant for the ar
rest of Forbes was issued in the case
brought against him some time ago.
Forbes was arrested in KenOsha late
last fall on serious charge and taken
to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he gave
bonds to appear 1t is charged that
Forbes together with lot of other
men well known to the sporting world
conducted fake fights in different parts
Of the country. The mails were used
for advertising these fights. At the
time of his former arrest Forbes issued
statement in which he declared that
he was innocent Of the charges brought
against him.
Forbes was taken to Albany, New.
York, on Monday night after the fight
and he will have hearing in the
United States court there this after
noon. 1T is expected that he will be
able to furnish bonds for his appear
ance when the case against him is call
ed for trial.

COUNCIL TO AID WITH PLAN
All People of the City Will be Inter
ested in Scheme for a General
Home. Coming of Former Residents
of the City.

The plans for holding a home coming
celebration in Kenosha during the COM
ing summer probably during the
month of June are to be arranged at
once as Mayor Scholey and the mem
bers Of the common council at an in
formal session held on Friday evening
made plans for the calling of q mass
meeting of the people to be held at
the Rhode Opera House some time
after next week and at this meeting a
committee will be named to take up
the work and get things moving.
The plan for the me-coming was
first proposed to the council by Alder
man G.. F. Stemm more than eight
months ago and at that time the coun-
Gil passed a resolution pledging the
support of the city for big gather
ing of old Kenosha residents for this
year. Tt is the plan of the promoters
Of the celebration to give whole week
over to the entertainment of the old
timers in Kenosha and it is thought
that the plan for entertainment will
be laid out on such broad scale that
it will attract former residents from
all over the United States. Since the
plan was proposed scores of letters
have been received from people in diff
ferent parts of the country declaring
their willingness to return to Kenosha
for the week and aid in making the
first home coming of Kenosha people
success. The informal plans that
have been made for the week provide
for all sorts of entertainments and
it is certain that if Kenosha goes into
the home coming business that she will
go into it on a scale to make the SINH
lar celebrations in other cities look
small.
Business men along Main street
have entered into the scheme with a
good deal of zest and it is certain that
there will be plenty of money in sight
when the committees in charge get
down to work. 1t is proposed to
have general committee appointed at
the mass meeting and this committee
will name other committees to have
charge Of the various lines Of work
in connection with the celebration.
This year there will be no reunion
Of the members of the Kenosha High
School Association and for this rea-
son the promoters of the home coming
think that the time is ripe to carry
out their plan with the understanding
that the homecoming will be made
a biennial event in the years when
the members of the school association
do not come to Kenosha.
The details of the public meeting
will be announced within a few days
and the call will be an official one
from the mayor and the common coun-
Gil.

W3nn5
Factory Representative.

IF the feeling throughout the state
is anything like it is in this county,
the sheriffs association will have hard
work to get any bill permitting a
sheriff to succeed himself through the
legislature. The people appear to be
firm believers in the principle of rota-
tion in office as applied to this par
ticular position and there are too many
influential men waiting for chance
to "'run for sheriff. to have any bill
which will decrease their chances go
through without determined opposi-
ton. This opposition may not be
open but it will be none the less pow
erful for all that and it will make it
self felt at Madison. It might be
possible to get bill through inereas-
ing the term of the sheriffs to three
or even four years and making a sheriff
forever ineligible to hold that Office
again but one which made it possible
for a sheriff to hang on to his job
for several successive terms would not
stand much chance.

Fishing Tug Breaks Propel'
Ter Ten Miles From Har-
Dor and Drifts for Hours
TOWED into PORT BY ENGEL

The crew Of the fishing tug "Mis-
chief had an exciting little adven-
ture Monday morning when the en-
gines of the boat were disabled when
she was more than ten miles from the
harbor and for more than six hours
the little vessel drifted in the lake.
The Mischief had gone out early in
the morning to lift the nets for the
day and when out about ten miles,
just after eight o clock she was fight
ing her way through an ice field and
striking great cake of ice the shaft
of the engine was broken and the pro-
peller lost. On board was Captain
Fred Joerndt, William and Charles
Joerndt, William Werner and Joseph
Borkenhagen. While the drifting
tug was not in any great danger a
high sea was rolling and several times
the men were forced to take the soak
ing Of the waves in their efforts to
DTlng Cne QlSaDleQ DOaG AnCO narDoF
by use of the sail. Working against
terrific odds they had made about
half the distance to the harbor when
they we're sighted by the tug William
Engel which was covering practically
the same course and the Engel at once
went to the aid of the disabled fish
boat and brought her into port. The
Mischief reached her docks just after
four O'Clock Monday afternoon. The
damage done TO the little boat was
considerable and she will be laid up
for several days pending the repair
of the engine.

Tenor Gets Funny.


Siezak. who was one of the new
bunch of talent at the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York-just closed
for the seasons a practical joker.
All the company were his victims. His
favorite was Schmedes, the Vienna
tenor. One morning about 2 O'Clock
Siezak stirred up Schmedes.
Are you Herr Schneider Siezak
called through the telephone in broken
German, fitting the character.
YES" came in sleepy impotence
Herr Schmedes, the tenor"
Yes, of course, the tenor. What 9TH
er would at that hour have stickled
for complete Identification?
How fortunatep' was the ambigu-
GUS rejoinder. II am Lord Morley, at
the Hotel Bristol"
Delighted, 1 am sure"
The voice sounded now quite awake.
A distinguished foreigner Of a nation
not noted for its impulsiveness could
not sleep without a word with him!
"Who is singing in 'Lohengrin' Mon
day nightT' sped to him over the wire
81, Schmedes," the answer rang,
with an inference of pleasing news.
"Ahr' Deep. startling disappoint-
ment freighted the word. 81 had hoped
it was Siezak. They say he sings so
beautifully. "-Chicago Post.

Boss" Aldridge Defeated

The sensational overturn in the
32d congressional district of New
York is quite as complete and salts
flying as the recent revolt In
Massachusetts. James S. Ravens,
Democrat, defeated George w.
Aldridge, TIE Republican ruler OF
Munroe county, by 5000 votes, the
result of the election showing a
change of 10000 votes from that of
1908, and is the first Democratic
congressman that has represented
the 32d district in 20 years.
1t is a wholesome, thorough
shake-up of considerable signif-
canoe, and it isn't surprising to learn
from Washington that Republican
members of congress from New
York are showing much concern
over the outlook. 1t is even sug-
gested that Congressman Payne may
be the next victim.
Mr.. Haven's platform advocated
tariff reform, free raw materials,
Canadian reciprocity, party indepen-
dence of all political BASES, and its
endorsement by the people of his
district showing refreshing defiance
of the "stand-pat" policies proclaimed
by Aldridge. d
