Town Treas. Make Bonds Pay
able to Wrong Official
PaymentofT Delayed
CITY TREASURER FILES BOND

City Treasurer Martin Steinmetz filed
with the county officials on Tuesday his
bond in the sum of 100000 to secure
the county treasurer of the county for
the payment Of tie county taxes levied
against the property in the city. The
bond is signed by Charles G. Brown and
Frank Slosson. There had been some
criticism about the city on account of
the failure of the treasurer to file this
bond before the actual collection of the
taxes began but this delay was due to
the fact that Treasurer Steinmetz who
has been,in Florida for many weeks did
not return to the city until Tuesday and
he filed the bond within a few hours
of his return. In past years the collec-
tion of the taxes has begun just after
Christmas but this year the City Clerk
got out the assessment rolls earlier
than in former years and for this rea-
son the collection of the tax began a
few days before the so-called "Thirty
Day Bond' was filed. Several of the
tax collectors of the county have been
receiving taxes without these bonds
being on file and at the present time
the bond Of one Of the town treasurers
| is not in the hands Of the county treas
urer. This fact was due to misunder-
standing of the law. After the cleo
| tion the town treasurers made out these
bonds and had them made payable to
| Charles p. Wallig the county treasurer
elect and after the fling of them they
| began the collection of the taxes in the
various towns. This work was stopped
on account Of the fact that it was held
that Wallig was not treasurer and the
officials of the county insisted that the
bonds be made in the name of Frank
Marx the present treasurer. All of the
bonds save one have now been changed
over and the collection of the taxes is
now going forward all over the county
without interruption.

POSSIBILITIES AT ZION.
Vigilance Committees Organized to
Make War on Smokers.

Hostiiities between the .indepen-
Dents and the Volivans in Zion City
burst forth anew yesterday after Over
seer Wilbur Glenn Voliva had dismiss
ed w. L. Tamhling, chief clerk to Re
ceiver G.. D. Thomas, from his duties.
Tambling, who was assessor under
Dowie, and is strong with the indepen-
dents, was ousted, according to Voliva,
because he interfered with the deal to
dispose Of the Zion City properties to a
concern for 100000, by declaring to a
representative of the firm that Voliva
could not give a clear tile to that part
of the property which has been convert
ed into a park. When Voliva learned
discharged,
Voliva followed this up by declaring
that w. T. Breen, station agent of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad at
Zion City, would be transferred after
NJ duo L. b1CCn dIOuScu tuC AlC VI bit
overseer in the last few days by walk
ing through the streets of the city calm
ly smoking a pipe.
During the day the overseer complet-
ed plans for the organization of two
vigilance committees, one of men, the
other of women, to take care Of the per-
sons who smoke within the confines of
the city. These committees will be ask
ed to call on offenders and ask them to
discontinue the use of tobacco.
The leader Of the Independents,
j. Fl. Harvey, said that no attention
would be paid to the vigilance commit
tees, as there is no clause in the leases
held by the land owners which prevents
the use of tobacco, the only provision
on that subject being paragraph pro
hibiting the sale or manufacture of the
product within the city limits.

FILES BILL OF EXCEPTION.
City Attorey Calvin Stewart Plans to
Take Telephone Case to Supreme Court

City Attorney Calvin Stewart fled
with the Clerk of the Circuit court to-
day a bill of exceptions from the de-
cision of Judge Belden in the suit
brought by the city against the Ken
osha Home Telephone company and the
Supreme court of the state will be Civ
en- chance to pass on the merits of
the decision at very early date. The
decision of Judge Belden has been gen
orally discussed among attorneys and
city officials today and there is differ
ence of opinion in regard to it. Several
of the attorneys insist that the city
never had a cause for action against
the company and that the Supreme
court will uphold the decisions of the
lower court. Others hold that the city
will eventually secure the free phone
service, demanded in the old Citizens
company franchise ordinance 1t is not
probable that any return from the case
will be secured in the Supreme court
until some time next year and in the
mean time the city will probably CON
tinue to secure free service with the
understanding that it is to be paid for
if the courts hold against the city.

BUY SITE FOR NEW GARAGE.
Kent Motor Car Company to Erect
Large Building on Park Avenue.

Kenosha is to have new automobile
garage in the near future as on Tues
day the Kent Motor Car company closed
deal for the purchase of the property
on Park avenue owned by Gottfredsen
and Nicoll and the work of building
one of the largest and most perfectly
appointed garages in the state will be
started just, as soon as the weather per-
mits The property is located just OPP
posite st. Matthews church and it has
a frontage Of more than eighty feet on
Park avenue and an average depth of
100 feet. The entire lot is to be used
for garage purposes. The plans for the
big building are now being made. The
front Will be an ornamental one and it
is the intention of the company to
erect a building that will be in keep
ing with the demands of the business
district Of the city. The price paid for
the property has not been made public
but it is said to have been in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. The Kent Brothers
are well known in the automobile bust
ness in Kenosha and with the opening
of the new garage early in the summer
it is the plan Of the company TO largely
increase its facilities for handling the
business of Kenosha. The new loca-
tion is an ideal one as it is on the direct
automobile route for all people running
between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Committee in Charge Of Sale
of Christmas Seals Here is
Busy Making Up Report
SALE LESS THAN FORMER YEAR

The Kenosha Anti-tuberculosis com
mittee and Public Health League has
not as. yet made any report of the
Christmas seals sold in Kenosha during
the past month and it is not expected
that the report will be ready before the
first of the new year. w. III. PurnelI,
the treasurer of the committee stated
this morning that the funds had not as
yet been checked up but that these re-
ports We're being brought in just as
rapidly as possible and that the report
would probably be ready ON the first
of the year. 1t seems certain that the
sale of the seals in Kenosha this wear
will not exceed the sales of last year.
Some of the schools of the city have
established records in the sale of the
seals but the general sale this year has
not been as large as it was last year.
The committee will be forced to make
some provision to settle with the state
society for the money lost by the child
rem in the robbery of the Balm and Col
ulnbus schools but the schools will be
credited with the sale of the stamps.
AS the local committee is entitled to
forty per cent of these sales the loss
will not be. over fifty dollars. The
greatest interest in the report of the
sale of the seals is being taken by the
children of St. George school as it is
thought that this school will have an
excellent chance to win one of the
prizes offered by the state societies.
The report from the school is not ready
but it is thought that it viii show that
the st, George school has sold nearly as
many stamps as has been sold by all
the other schools in the city. Large
orders were placed with the children of
this school TO aid them in their fight
for the prize. The stamps are now be-
ing collected by the committee and it
is thought possible that the returns
will show sale of not less than So
900 seals.

frankie Conley Has Best of
Tommy Dougherty in
Fight Tuesday Night
BROKEN BONE STOPS CONTEST

Referee Robert Fitzsimmons stopped
the Frankie Conley Tommy Dougherty
fight at Fond du Lac in the fifth round
after Dougherty fractured his left
shoulder Fitzsimmons IS action brought
to close Ave of the swiftest smuggling
rounds in Wisconsin rings for years.
There was not pound difference in
the weight of the youngsters when they
entered the ring. The bantam champion
lit into Dougherty like fend and the
Denver youth was in fair way to
having a knockout registered against
him, but he managed to last the round
out. In the second Dougherty was eau
tious but regained some of his conf
dence and made Conley travel. From
the second round to the fifth both
fought fast. Conley bored into his less
experienced opponent but the Denver
pug fought stubbornly and cautiously.
Early in the fifth round, following a
rapid exchange of blows, Dougherty' S
seconds saw he was not using his left
arm, his face white with pain. He
tried to clinch with Conley, but the
Italian shook him away and landed
rights and lefts to the face until Dough-
erty was dripping blood. When the
round. ended Fitzsimmons examined
Dougherty's shoulder and called the
fight off.
The Kenosha bantam had all the best
of the fight and there is little doubt
but that he would have scored a knock
out over Dougherty had the fight been
allowed to continue. Conley showed
great improvement over his former
form when he fought in Milwaukee and
the fast way that he went after Dough-
erty showed local fans who travelled to
Fond du Lac to see the fight that he is
in the best possible condition. At the
end of the mill Dougherty was all cut
to pieces from the fierce blows of Con-
ley but the latter came out of the fight
without mark and he was in Kenosha
today with no signs of the encounter.
Conley is now being eagerly sought
by Milwaukee fight fans for a meeting
with Willie Driscoll another fast fight
er and it is probable that the two men
will meet in Milwaukee on next Mon
day afternoon. It was expected that
articles for the fight would be signed
before the day is over. Conley had a
hard fight Tuesday night but at that
he seems to feel certain that he can
take on and dispose Of Driscon on Mon
day.

NAMES DEPUTIES FOR TOWNS
Has Made No Appointment of Turnkey
and May Not Appoint Until After
the Opening of His Term on Next
Monday-Names Well Known Men.
(From Wednesdays Daily

Bejamin f. Stahl, formerly a well
known hveryman of Kenosha will be
under sheriff of the county for the
next two years as this morning Sheriff
elect Andrew H. Stahl announced that
he had appointed his brotker to be his
principal aid in Office. The term will
begin on next Monday when the new
sheriff takes his oath of Office and as.
sumes charge of the county jail. Sher-
if elect Stahl had his brother for his
principal helper in the campaign and
the new undersheriff was certainly de-
serving of recognition for the work
which he did.
Mr.. Stahl this morning named his de.
puties for the towns in The county and
all of them are well known men. Break
ing away from the established rule of
naming long list of deputies the new
sheriff has named but nine deputies for
the towns outside of the city and
every town with the exception of the
town of Randall has place in the list.
His appointments q pas follows:
Brighton-Hubb geyen.
Bristol--Albert Scn-Gckel.
Paris-John Spartz.
Pleasant Prairie-Arthur Kelley and
Fred Blank.
Salem-Matt Reiter.
Somers Joseph Huck.
Wheatland- Joseph Toelle and Her.
man Schmidt
Nearly all of the men named as de-
puties in the counties are fellow demo-
Gratis with the sheriff elect and most Of
them were active in the campaign.
Mr.. Stahl has announced no appoint
ments for the city of Kenosha and will
probably not make any appointments
in the city until after he formally takes
his Office. He has declared that he in
tends to do the greater part of the
work in the city himself and that he
will have little need of long list of de-
puties in Kenosha. The new sheriff
has named no one for the office of turn
Eey at the county Jail but Nicholas
Fonk the present turnkey will remain
in this capacity until such time as the
sheriff elect selects some permanent APP
pointee for the Office. The new deputies
will be notified of their appointment
tomorrow and will file their oaths in
time to begin work on next Monday.
