Frank Klein Widely Known
About Business District
Meets Unusual Death
TOUCHES ELECTRIC LIGHT; DIES

Frank Klein, aged IS years, and wide
ly known as porter about the saloons
of the city met sudden death at the
International Wine and Liquor House
on Main street just after five O'Clock
Sunday morning. The man had just
taken hold of an electric light bulb,
when he fell over on the floor and he
died before a physician could be sum-
moned. The wires connected with the
light were of low voltage but at that
it is thought that there was sufficient
electricity to cause the death of Klein.
A few minutes later Police Officer
Fred Bradley who had gone out from
the police department. to investigate
the accident took the same current but
it did not have any effect ON him. On
this account Coroner f. E. Andre di-
rected that a post norton be held over
the remains and this revealed that while
Klein's death was caused by the cleo
trio shock, he had suffered from fatty
degeneration of the heart and the kid
neys and it is thought that the condi-
tion Of his heart made it impossible for
him to withstand the force of the cleo
trieity.
Klein had gone to the saloon only a
short time before he met his death and
was assisting the bartender in cleaning
up the place preparatory to the business
Of the day. The floor had been scrub
bed and it was very wet just under
the electric light 1t is thought that
this condition of the floor contributed
not little to the death of Klein.
Coroner Andre was called and the
remains were removed to the Miller &
Stanton morgue. Later in the morning
jury was called and after the Jurors
had viewed the remains DR.. J. B. Spald-
ing and Dr.. William NJ. Pugh conducted
the post mortem examination.
Klein was sixty-fve years old on
October 9th, He was a native of Ger
many but had lived in Kenosha for
many years and had lived about at sew
eral Of the down town hotels and had
worked in several saloons as a porter.
He was widely known among the fire.
quenters of these places as Sweet
hearts. A genial whole -souled sort
of fellow he was fayorite among
the men who knew him. 1t is not
thought that Klein had any relatives
in this part of the state but an effort
is being made to locate some of his
relatives and the remains will be held
pending the result of these efforts.

MEETS HOLD-Uf MEN
A. C. belong Held Up and
Robbed in Milwaukee
ON Sunday Morning
YIELDS AT POINT OF GUN

A. G. belong, residing at GA Grogan
street and employed at the plant Of
the Simmons Manufacturing Company,
was held up and robbed in Milwaukee
ON Sunday morning and the two hold
up men who forced him to disgorge at
the point of a revolver managed to get
away with four dollars in cash.
DeLong, within few minutes after
the robbery reported the case to the
Milwaukee police department and later
in the morning two suspects were ar
rested and they are now being held at
the Milwaukee police station pending
more positive identlncation by their
victim. belong had gone to Milwau-
kee on Saturday afternoon and late in
the evening he met two young men.
The men seemed to be hale fellows,
well met and they suggested that the
Kenosha man join them for trip
about the town. belong went with
the men and they took him to the
Cherry street railway crossing and after
they had got into good dark place
one of the men pulled revolver and
thrusting it into DeLong's face de-
manded that he throw up his hands.
At the same time the other man made
a rush for him and as his hands went
up he was caught from behind and
Thrown to the ground. belong at
tempted to shout for help but the two
men were ready for the emergency and
thrust dirty handkerchief into his
mouth and silenced him until they had
made a hurried examination of his
pockets. They found the four dollars
in one of belongs trousers pockets
but he had taken precaution and had
placed larger sum Of money in one
of his coat pockets and this was over
looked by the hold up men.
belong was not seriously injured in
the attack by the men and notwith-
standing the fact that they threatened
him with death if he attempted to fol-
low them the Kenosha man lost no time
reporting the case to the police. De
Long returned to Milwaukee this morn
ing to appear against the two men ar
rested as suspects Of the crime and he
will remain there until after the hear
ing is over.

20 PERCENT LAW UPHELD
Ruling of the Supreme Court Expected
TO Result in an Independent Candl-
date Being Brought Out for State
Office.

The state supreme court in decls-
ion on Saturday afternoon, from which
Justices Winslow, Siebecker and Ker-
win dissented, held that votes for a
deceased person by persons who knew
the fact of his decease must be regarded
as so much blank paper.
The court granted the injunction
asked for by Speaker Levi H. Bancroft,
as prayed for in his complaint, and or
ders the secretary of state to place the
name of Mr.. Bancroft, who received
nearly 10000 votes in the primary, on
the official ballot for attorney general.
In the dissenting opinion it is held
that section 81 of the statutes of 1898
is made applicable to primary elections
by the primary election law of 1908;
and therefore the provision for filing
vacancies in general elections in cases
of death after the ballots are printed
applies to the primary; that the bal
lots for Tucker are legal and that the
relator, Bancroft, is not entitled to
have his name placed on the official
ballot.
The court says: "The following prop.
oaitions are decided in this case.
"Q). The provisions of the general
election law contained in section 81,
statutes of 1898, relating to the filling
of vacancies caused by the declination,
death Or other disability of nominated
candidate are not imported into the
primary election law and hence do not
apply to primary elections.
"(2). Under the allegations of the
complaint it must be held that the fact
of the death Of Mr.. Tucker was brought
home to the knowledge of the gyeat
mass of the electors of the state be-
fore the holding of the primary and
that the great majority of the electors
who placed a cross opposite his name
upon the primary ballot did SO with
such knowledge.
"(3) Votes which are in form cast
for deceased person by voters who
know the fact Of his decease cannot be
considered as votes for or against any
person, but must be regarded as so
much blank paper.
"(4.) II follows that under the al
legations of the complaint the relator
received the greatest number of votes
cast at the primary as Republican
candidate for the Office of attorney gen.
eral and under subd. l of section Is of
the primary law is entitled to have his
name placed upon the official ballot as
such candidate,
The decision means that the name of
Charles H. Crownhart will not be on
the ballot to take the place of the late
Frank L. Tucker, who, though dead,
received more votes than Mr.. Bancroft.
Mr., Bancroft, through his attorney,
started action in the supreme court to
test the validity of the law under which
the committee held that a dead man
was person.
The court also handed down a de-
cision that the 20 per cent clause of
the primary law is valid and must be
followed.

is expected that the change in teachers
will be made about the first of Novem-

There is, we believe, an ordinance
which forhids the burning of dead
leaves and refuse of all sorts on the
paved streets Of the city but of course
no one pays any attention to it. In
order to tighten their own labors, how
ever, a consideration which should APP
peal powerfully to them, the street
commissioners might see what they
could do with the aid of the police de-
partment if necessary towards forcing
the people responsible for the fires to
clean up their own ashes. It takes onlr
