INJURED MAN COMING HOME
Declared That He Will Recover From
Injuries But May be Laid UP For
Many Weeks-Case Puzzle to the
Officials Of Two Cities.

The mystery surrounding the injury
ef James Larsen former member of the
Board of Education and foreman for
the Northwestern Railway Company
has not been cleared up as yet and it
is stated that the detectives of the
railway company who have been at work
on the case for nearly week find that
they are bafled at every point Of the
investigation. Larsen was able to sit
up at the st. Luke s hospital on Monday
afternoon and it is declared that he will
be able to return to his home within
a short time, possibly within the next
two days. He has no broken bones
but he has bruises on every part of his
body. Larsen still talks like man in
dream and he insisted to Kenosha
friends who visited him on Monday
that he was not able to give any light
on the manner in which he met his
injuries He Insists shat he was walk
ing along the track on Lake street
when he suddenly became unconscious
and he is unable to state whether he
was struck by train or if he was as
saulted.
All sorts or theories are being adj
vanced in the case but none of them are
backed up by any facts that have
been gathered by the railway officials
and there is absolutely nothing given
to the public save the fact that Lar
sen was very seriously injured and
that the company knows absolutely
nothing of the manner in which these
injuries were received. On Monday
evening it was stated that the surgeons
were hopeful that the injuries Of Lar
sen would not prove permanent and
they stated that if his improvement
continued he would be able to be
brought home possibly on Thursday
In local railway circles it has been
rumored that a gang of mem had been
looking for Larsen on account of the
discharge of some of the section men
but the men closest to Larsen declare
that he was general favorite with
the men employed under him and that
it would have been impossible for dis
charged employees to have plotted for
his death or serious injury without the
facts reaching the ears of either Larsen
or some of the other section foremen
working under him. The nature of the
injuries Of Larsen seem to indicate that
it might have been possible that he
had fallen from train and had been
dragged in some manner but with re-
turning consciousness he insists that
he has no memory of having boarded
a train before the accident.
Larsen was able to see his friends at
the hospital on Monday but his condi,
tion was such that the visitors were ad-
vised not to seek to learn from him
the story of his injury. This matter had
all been taken up by the detectives of
the railway company and Larsen and
the surgeons declared that Larsen
should not be permitted to talk about it
any more.

THREATENS DEATH TO WIFE
Little Girl of Man Was Killed on Rail-
way Tracks Week Ago and Father
Refuses to be Conlforted-fIeld at
County Jail.

CraZed With grief over the deaCn or
his seven year old daughter who was
run down and killed by train on the
Northwestern railway near the Ounce
street intersection week ago, Wladis-
law Wasniewski, street workman en-
ployed by the city is confined in cell
at the county Jail awaiting an examine
tion into his mental condition in the
county court. Wasniewski was taken
into custody late Monday evening at
the orders of the district attorney to
whom the wife of the unfortunate man
had appealed. Ever since the little girl
was killed the man has shown signs of
insanity. 1t is claimed that previous to
this time he had shown signs of demen-
tia but the death of the child coupled
with the excitement attending the fatal
accident seems to have completely de-
throned the reason Of the man and on
Monday evening when he was taken
from his home and locked in the coun-
ty Jail he acted Lire a raving maniac.
This morning his condition shows i'm
provement and the officials have not as
yet decided as to what disposition will
be made of the case. The man was
formerly one Of the best city workmen
but since the death Of the little girl
he has worked only few hours day
and his wife declared to the district at
torney that he sat about the home on
Park street grieving for the little girl.
Wasniewsk seemed to have become
possessed of the idea that his wife was
in some way responsible for the death
of the little girl and in the past few
days he had repeatedly threatened to
kill the wife. Monday evening Was
niewski became so violent that the wife
and children fed from the house and
she went at once to the Office of the
district attorney and told her story
She declared that she was afraid to re-
turn to her home if her husband was
allowed to remain there for the night
as she felt certain that he would carry
out his threat and kill her. The woman
declared that the condition of her hus-
band had reached this acute stage only
since the death of the little girl and
that before that time he seemed to
have almost entirely recovered from the
mental ailment which had attacked him
some time ago. At the Jail last night
Wasniewski sobbed much of the night
and several times he called for the
little Girl who had been killed by the
train.
Physicians who have attended the
man declare that he is suffering from
acute melancholia and they seem to be
Of the opinion that his mental condition
was produced by the death of the
child in so tragic manner. The little
girl was a great favorite with the ia
Their and among the other children and
when he was at work with the city gang
ne had talked almost necessarily about
her tragic death.
It is expected that the city council
will take some steps at its next meet
ing to secure the opening of some sort
of roadway at the place where the
little girl was killed and the officials
of the Northwestern have already sent
men to the city to work out plan
for such change at the point in ques-
ton.

FAMOUS WARREN CASE UP ON APPEAL MONDAY

GIRARD, Kas., May 5.-The
outcome of the case of Fred d.
Warren, which is to be heard on
appeal before the United States
court of appeals, at st. Paul,
Mimi, May 8, will attract the wild
est attention. Warren is manag-
ing editor of the Appeal to Rea-
son, the socialist weekly paper
published here.
Warren held that Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, officers of
the miners union, were kidnapped
from Colorado, and taken unlaw-
fully to Idaho. The United States
supreme court held that the ar
rest in Denver, and that the jour-
ney to Idaho under military
guard, was a justifiable proceed
ing. Justice McKenna dissented.
Interpreting the decision of the
United States supreme court as a
declaration sanctioning this sort
of kidnapping" as a lawful meth
cd of apprehending persons want
ed by authorities for the alleged

mapped with impunity so can capt.
talist politicians"
One day there appeared promi-
nently displayed on the first page
of the Appeal to Reason the fol-
lowing advertisement:
"One thousand dollars rev ard
will be paid to any person who
kidnaps ex-Gov. Taylor and re-
turns him to Kentucky authori-
ties"
A special article accompanied
the foregoing in which Warren
set forth at length his reasons for
offering the reward. The same
advertisement was printed on the
upper left-hand corner of $4,000
envelopes and mailed to persons
in different sections of the Unit
ed States. 1t was the mailing of
these envelopes that resulted In
Warren's arrest by the postoffice
authorities.
Warren was indicted by a fed
eral grand jury at Fort Scott,
Kas., in May, 1907. Two years
later he was tried at Fort Scott,
convicted, and sentenced to serve
six months in Jail and pay a fine
of $500 by United States District
Judge John G. Pollock. 1t is
from this decision he is now ap-
pealing to the st. Paul court.
At the Fort Scott trial ex-Gov.
Taylor appeared as a witness for
the prosecution. Warren's defense
was that he consulted the Girard
postmaster before mailing the en-
velopes, and was informed by that
official that the mailing of them
would violate no law. On the clos
ing day of the trial and in re-
Spouse to a question asking If he
had reasons why sentence of the
court should not be pronounced,
Warren arose and made a speech
which has been preserved and
circulated extensively by social
lists as a propaganda document.
Warren and his friends assert
that the trial and conviction
were brought about by the gov
eminent purely to hamper the
work Of the Appeal to Reason in
its efforts to propagate socialism.
This, government officials con-
nected with the prosecution of
Warren's case, deny.

termined to put it to the test. He
remembered that w. s. Taylor,
former governor of Kentucky,

fty in the murder of Gov. Goebel.
Warren also remembered that the
Kentucky authorities had out
standing reward offer of $780,
900 for the arrest and delivery of
Taylor to any Kentucky sheriff.
"If it is lawful forcibly to seize
labor leaders, giving them no
chance to consult lawyers or
fight extradition, and convey
them to Idaho to be tried for the
murder of ex-Gov. Steunenberg,"
said Warren, then it is lawful
forcibly to seize Taylor, a capt.
talist and a politician, and con-
vey him to Kentucky to answer
the Indictment charging him with

bel. If labor men can be kid

Is OGDEN IN THE
ANTI-LYON FIGHT?
Reported That He May Be
Put Into One of Lyons
Present Jobs.

San Antonio, Tex, March 31.-Much
significance is attached in local politi-
cal circles to the conference that judge
c. w. Ogden has had with president
Taft at the white house in regard to
the appointment of a federal Judge foT
the eastern district of Texas. to fill
the vacancy caused by the death OF
judge E. c. Bryant.
The fact that the president invited
Judge Ogden TO confer with him in re-
gard to the appointment Is regarded as
significant. Judge Ogden has been tend
cred the position, but refused to accept.
As yet nothing has been learned as 90
the result of the conference and it Is
not known who Judge Ogden has rec
commended.
j. @. McGTady of Bonham is the can
didate who has the favor of Cecil Lyon,
but it has been denied that Judge Ogden
especially favOrs his appointment. How
judge Ogden and Col. Lyon stand with
the president is matter of conjecture
in local political circles, especially since
a fight has been opened in Lyon 1t IS
understood that Judge Ogden is friendly
with that faction of the Republican par
~ in Bexar county which is opposed to
Lyon and this is taken to mean that
there is movement on foot by this
IaclIOn 10 nave Judge Ogden named as
successor to Lyon as state chairman or
as national committeeman.
There is objection in many quarters
to one man holding both offices-state
chairman and also national committee
man-and a desire to have at least one
Of these offices go to another, and a
better man than Judge Ogden, it is be-
1ieved here, could not be found for
either office These offices were form
erly> held by two men. 1t is claimed
that with one man holding down both
jobs he is given too much power and
placed in a position where he can die
tate at his will, regardless of party
interests.
That either judge Ogden or Col. Lyon
has a hand in this move IS not believed
to be the case, but it is believed TO be
the work of those who do not favor the
conditions as they now exist
