BUSINESS men
TO HOLD Meeting
this Afternoon
WILL DISCUSS THE COMING
FOURTH OF JULY CELE-
BRATION.

There will be meeting held this
afternoon at O. clock at the
Elks hall by the business men of
this city to which everyone is in
vited to attend. The coming Fourth
of July Celebration will be discussed
as will also the suggestions to post
pone the affair until Labor day,
with which will be combined Tono-
pah day to commemorate the dis
covery of this camp by Jim But
Ter, October 8, 1900.
The majority of the people of
this city are in favor of having the
celebration on the Fourth more for
the entertainment of the ladies and
children. Many of the men folk
will be in attendance at the prize
fight at Reno and as the women
cannot attend an affair of this kind
it is no more than right that they
should be afforded some enjoyment.
Many of the business houses have
gone to considerable expense In
making arrangements for decora-
tions. while others have contracted
for floats for the parade. and the
sudden change In front of few
should not affect the original plans
1t will be remembered that sub
scriptions were secured for the
Fourth of July celebration. and
should be expended accordingly.

HEROISM OF
LAWYER COSTS
HIM HIS LIFE
ALFRED NEEDLES DROWNED IN
ATTEMPT TO SAVE GIRL
FROM SAME FATE.

1t was the heroism of Alfred R.
Needles that cost him his life last
Thursday in Swan Lake, near Seat
tie. In his efforts to save his 147
year-old step-daughter from drown
ing the former Tonopah attorney
was unsuccessful and gave his own
life in the attempt. The following
story is taken from the Seattle
Times of June Is, and gives the
details of the accident:
Their rowboat capsizing when a
large collie dog suddenly leaped
overheard, Alfred Needles, young
lawyer who recently arrived here
from Tonopah, Nevada, and IA year
old Blanche German, of Orilla, were
drowned in Swan Lake, three miles
southwest of Renton, yesterday aft
ernoon
According to Alice Monahan, an
is year old girl Orilla girl who
was the third member of the party,
and who saved herself by clinging
to the overturned boat, Needles lost
his life in vain attempt to save
the little German girl
The bodies were not recovered
and a searching party is dragging
the lage for them today, the work
being directed by James Monahan,
of Seattle, a brother of Miss Mona
han.
Needles was 80 years old and
was on his way to the Iditarod
gold fields. He was visiting the
Monahan and German families at
Orilla, having been acquainted with
both for years.
Yesterday, accompanied by the
two girls, Needles set out for a
five mile walk to Swan Lake, where
the party intended to spend the day.
They ate luncheon on the shore and
then set out for boat ride on the
iohO, "hiSH 10 duouI lWO iuiCS iou6
and three quarters of a mile wide,
taking the collie with them.
While in the middle of the lake
the dog, which had been held in
the boat with some difficulty, as
he was mad to get into the water
for swim, finally broke away and
leaped into the lake. The violent
rocking of the boat, which was
small and narrow, caused it to cap
size and threw the three occupants
into the water.
Miss Monahan says that when
she came up she grasped the over
turned boat and chung to it until
she finally righted it and then
clambered aboard. The last she
saw of her companions, Needles was
endeavoring to swim to the boat
with the younger girl, who was
struggling violently.
Captain John Lee, of the gasoline
launch Flyer, heard the cries for
help and fastened to the scene,
rescuing Miss Monahan, who was al
most exhausted by her struggles
and chilled from exposure. He saw
no trace of the others.
Deputy Coroner G. Chittenden,
of Kent, was notified and appealed
to last night for permission to dy-
Mantle the lake to raise the bodies
The game warden refused to permit
this on the ground that it would
kill many fish, so the work of re-
covery was carried forward today
with graphing hooks. James Mona
han, who is directing the work,
was Joined by Deputy Coroner Chit
tenden this afternoon.
Blanche German, the drowned
girl, was the daughter of Richard
German, one of the best known res
idents of White River Valley. Nee
dies was an athlete, having been a
member of the baseball team at
Berkeley, Cal. He had relatives in
San Francisco.

BIG DAY IN COURT
Municipal Court Takes in S2o6.92 in
Fines and Costs on Monday

Monday was record breaking day
in the municipal court and the total
receipts of the day were more than
5000. Out of the twelve cases heard
in the court during the the clerk col
eGted fines and costs to the amount
of $206.92. The six prosecutions of

costs in these actions and one-third of
the fine, while another third of this
amount goes to Charles Kleunder who
made the complaint against the men
charged with illegal fishing. The
other cases tried were the general run
of Monday morning cases, but the day
as whole proved to be a record break
er for the court.

Receiyership at Zion City to
End Within a Montth-New
Plans Worked Out
REGRET THOMAS IS TO QUIT

It is reported upon good authority
that the Zion City receivership will be
terminated within month and pos
sibly the LIST of May.
Receiver Gus D. Thomas is DESTROYS
of being relieved Of his duties as re-
ceiver.\
It is expected that a board of seven
trustees Will be appointed by the
court, and steps toward this end have
already been made by the receiver.
While majority of the investors of
all factions have petitioned Judge
Lands to continue the receivership, it
is learned that he has decided not to
do so, but plan is being worked out
according to reports-which will
have much the same effect as if re-
ceiver were continued in office.
The board of trustees which will be
by Judge Lands of the fed
eral court will consist of seven mem
bers, four of whom will be investors
in the estate of Zion as required by
the reorganization plan adopted under
Receiver John G. Hatley's administra-
ton. The other three may or may
not be investors according to the de-
cision of the court.
Letters have been written by Re
ceiver Thomas to the investors asso-
citation and to the VoIiva faction, re-
questing them to make recommends
tions to the court of investors whom
they would prefer to have appointed.
The receiver has also written to the
European investors making a similar
request. The recommendations which
will be made will be merely advisory,
but it is expected that Judge Lands
will be guided in his appointments to
some extent by the expressed wishes
of the investors.
Universal regret viii be felt when
the investors learn of the intention to
abandon the receivership because of
the mastery way in which Receiver
Gus D. Thomas has handled affairs
of the estate. His retention has been
urged by majority of the investors.

Rev. Father Malone to Begin
Work of Raising Funds for
st. Thomas Church
COMPLETE CHURCH THIS YEAR

The Rev Father Malone who has
been named by Archbishop Messmer Of
the diocese of Milwaukee to be the
first pastor of the proposed new st.
Thomas English Catholic church, will
take up his permanent home in Keno
sha within a few days and the formal
canvass for the organization of the
church and the soliciting of funds for
the new church building will be start
ed within fortnight. Already much
work has been done along this line
and it is certain that the new congre-
cation will be one of the largest in
the city. 1t is not expected that it's
membership will notably affect the
membership of the German and other
churches in the city as a canvass has
shown that there are many Catholics
in the city who at the present time
are not affiliated with any Of the
churches. A majority of these, how

st. James church. The plans for the
new church building have not as yet
been accepted but architects have been
at work for some time and it is prob
able that several sets of plans will be
presented to the building committee
when it is named. 1t is estimated
that forty thousand dollars will be
needed to carry out the plans of Faith
er Malone for the erection of the
church and school and it is thought
that at least half of this amount will
be raised before the work is started.
Several of the wealthy people of the
city have promised to make large con
tributions to the church.
As soon as the new parish is fully
organized committees viii be named to
assist the pastor in raising the fund
for the building and it is expected
that these committees will be very
busy during the coming summer.
Before the new church is erected it
kis probable that some place viii be
leased for the holding of the services
of the congregation.
Father Malone has been in the city
several times since he gave up his pas
torate of the church at Monches, Wis,
and ne is decidedly enthusiastic over
the outlook in Kenosha. His personal
popularity as leader is counted to aid
materially in the early realization OF
the plans Of the congregation.

HARD CHASE IN VAIN
Man Arrested in Racine After Ions
Chase Released on Payment Of Costs

The police force has had another
hard chase in vain as Simon Stakaimiz
arrested in Racine little over a week
ago on a charge Of robbing Ignatz
Lukensiz on Ridge street, was released
on the payment of the costs of the
action. When the case was called for
a hearing the man who had been rob-
bed declared that he did not desire
to appear against the defendant and
it was evident from the action of the
men that they had reached an agree
ment to drop the case. Stakaimiz de-
clared that he was willing to pay the
costs of the action and the district at
torney moved that the case be dismis-
sed with this understanding. 1t is
understood that the man who was rob-
bed had secured return of his money
with interest.

COUNCIL IS UNREASONABLE"
Declares That the Company Employs
Extra Switchman to Guard Cross
ings While Cars are Being Handled
for the Company.

George W. Daley of Chicago, gen
eral superintendent Of the Wisconsin
Division of The Chicago and North
western Railway Company, came to Ke-
nosha on Monday afternoon and held
a conference with City Attorney John
G. Slater and members of the common
council at which the question of addi-
tional tiagmen at crossings in the city
was taken up. The visit was due to
the fact that the city has had man
employees to watch the crossings in the
yards of the n. r. Allen s Sons Com
pany and has sent the bill for the serv-
ices of the man to the company. Mr.,
Daley declared that the action on the
part Of the city was unwarranted and
unnecessary OH account or the Tact
that the company has continually en-
ployed an extra switchman whose sole
duty is to watch that crossings over
which the cars are switched are prop
erly protected.
"We believe,' said Mr.. Daley,
"that we can protect the crossings
better in this way than in any other
way. The wages of this extra switch
man are double those of fagman and
he is a better man for the work in
every way. He knows Just what is
demanded of him. In addition TO this
these crossings are used only a short
time during some of the days and if
we employ this special switchman he
can be used in other parts Of the city
during the time he is not actually en-
ployed in the guarding of these cross
ings. ] want to make this PROPOSE
tion to the council. / want them to
employ some fair man and [ don It
care who he is. Let him stand at
the crossing and if the extra switch
man does not guard the crossing let
us know and we will not only put on
IA fagman, but we will discharge the
switchman. What we want and what
the council want is to get these cross
ings protected during the time that the
switching is going on. No one cares
to have man sitting at the crossing
all day if there is no need of him.
We simply want to be fair with the
city and want the city to be fair with
us, This switching problem is one
that we have gone into at length and
we have found that the people get bet
ter protection by the extra switchman
than they do from regular fagman
Superintendent Daley stated that
the company had directed the men here
to proceed at once with the planking
of the tracks about the new postoffice
building and this work will be com
pleted just as soon as possible. AS
the new building will be opened for
public use within another week it is
thought that the company will have
the work done by that time.
