ROAMING GIRL HERE
Milwaukee Wanderer Has Worked in
Corliss and Zion City Enroute

The strange story of the adventures
of a 15-yearold girl who ran away
from her home in Milwaukee last Sep
TENDER and since that time has travel
ed over 200 miles, earning her own
way as she went, was unfolded last
night, when Detective Louis Hartman
of Milwaukee, returned to that city
from haywood, ILL.,, with the girl.
Her name is Maria Werdescneck,
and she disappeared on September IS.
During the past four months she has
been in Racine, Kenosha, Zion City
and haywood. At each she would tell
the story that she was an orphan,
looking for work. Charitably inclined
people would find place for her.
In most cases she worked as a do
nestle, and according to the people
who have employed her, her reputation
was always of the best. At Zion City
she worked as a laeemaker, but grow
ing restless left there, going through
Chicago to haywood.
She was called "the mysterious An
ME Roth, and there was considerable
speculation as to her identity.
Detective Hartman said that the girl
claimed her father had gone to Europe
and that her mother was dead.
Saturday night the girls parents
visited the central police station, where
their daughter had been placed in the
custody of the matron. They had a
talk with the girl and refused to take
her back, the police say.

ICE HARVEST DELAYED
Men in Charge of Cutting Ice on Lakes
Find it Hard to Get Men to Work


The continued SHOWS coupled with
scarcity of laborers has made it all
but impossible for the big Chicago Ice
Companies to continue the ice harvest
on the lakes of Kenosha county and
reports from the lakes indicate that
many houses still remain untitled. The
ice is of unusually fine quality but in
many places it is covered to a depth
of several feet with snow and it is
impossible to get this snow scraped
off the ice. In places the melting of
the snow has resulted in the lakes be-
ing covered with water. In addition
to these troubles the men in charge
of the harvest are finding it almost
impossible to get men. A call has
been sent to all the larger cities for
men but in Chicago and Milwaukee the
heavy snow storms have brought de-
mand for workers on the streets and
the men seem to prefer this to working
in the ice fields. It now looks as if
several of the houses in this county
will not be filled this season.

Detectives Seek John Thomas
Who Robbed Drug Store in
Milwaukee Sunday
GOT BUSY IN SHORT ORDER

Detectives from Milwaukee and Ke.
nosha searched Kenosha on Sunday and
today in an effort to find some trace
of John Thomas, % years of age, who
is wanted in Milwaukee on charge
of robbing the store of the Public
Drug Company. Thomas is alleged to
be a Kenosha man and he secured en-
ployment at the Milwaukee store on
last Tuesday. On Sunday morning he
was given the keys of the store and
it is alleged by Henry Gerhoff, the
proprietor that he opened the store and
took what money there was in the cash
register and bunch of fountain pens
and escaped from Milwaukee. At the
time of the robbery Gerhoff, the owner
of the store, had gone to attend the
funeral of his mother. The robbery
was discovered just before noon when
the owner returned to the store and
found the place locked up and desert
ed. He went into the store and found
that the cash register had been loot
ed. Securing a Milwaukee detective
he took the first train to Kenosha and
laid the matter before the Kenosha
police thinking that Thomas would
come to his home in this city. It is
possible that Thomas IS a KenoshA
man, but if such is the fact the police
have not as yet been able to solve the
mystery attending his identity. The
man was a drug clerk and it is said
that he registered from Kenosha but
it is thought that he must have been
working under an assumed name. The
amount of property taken from the
store is valued at about SIS. The
search for Thomas is being continued
today but the officials of the two cities
interested have little hope Of finding
him here and search is being made
in other cities of the state as well.

teacher of German in the Kenosha
High School, has sent her resignation
TO the board of education and will re-
tire from her position as soon as the
teachers committee of the board Sc.
cures successor. Miss, Stock has
not been in good health for some time
and for this reason she decided that it
would be better for her to give up her
work at this time. Miss Stock has
been popular with the students. and
the faculty and her resignation has
caused general regret among the stu
dents of the high school The mem.
bers of the teachers committee have
already taken up the matter and it is
probable that new teacher will be Sc
cured within the next ten days.

There is every prospect that the
county board of supervisors is going
to get into first class row before
the controversy over the repair of the
Jail is finally settled but there is one
thing in connection with the matter
which will appeal to every citizen and
that is that every member of the
board is squarely on record all the way
through and every one interested can
trace the 4ction of his representative.
There is no lodging of responsibility
in the board of supervisors as there is
in some of the other bodies which
spend the taxpayers money for them.
On every important motion record
vote is taken and the proceedings Of
the board complete are published in
book form and in the News and Tele-
graph Courier so that every taxpayer
who takes the trouble to look up any
matter in which he is interested can
find out just what has been done.

MAKE RECORD MOST COMPLETE
William H. Harrison is Elected az
President and F. H. Lyman as Secre-
tary of the Commission-Send Ad-
dress to All Residents.

The commission recently named by
the county board to prepare a suitable
permanent memorial to the soldiers
and sailors of Kenosha county met at
the court house late Saturday after
noon and completed organization and
the great work of collecting the data
for the memorial has already been
started. The commission organized
with the election of William I'll. Harri-
son of Randall as chairman and Frank
II. Lyman of this city as secretary.
The members spent several hours out
lining the plans for the collection Of
the data and deciding as to what
material is to be placed on the bronze
tablets.
The plan as outlined will provide for
the erection of series of bronze tab
lets which will contain the name, the
regiment and the company of every
man from Kenosha county who served
in the war of the rebellion. These
tablets will be placed on the walls of
the court house and supplementing this
list will be a history of the service of
each Kehosha county soldier. 1t will
be comparatively easy matter for the
members of the commission to get most
of this data as it can all be taken from
the official rosters of the various Wiscon-
sin regiments now on file in the war
department at Washington. However,
there were men from Kenosha county
who served in regiments enlisted in
other states and Secretary Lyman will
make an effort to get list of all of
these men.
Since the close of the war many
men who served in regiments enlisted
in other states have moved into Keno
sha and it is possible that the names
of these men will be placed on the
record. 1t is planned to put in bronze
the names of both the living and the
dead and it is probable that special
mention will be made of all the Ke-
nosha county men who fell on the
field of battle. The record of the
services Of the soldiers will be put in
some permanent form with the under
standing that this record is to be filed
with the register of deeds and be sub
ject to examination by the people of
the county. It would be impossible
to put the entire military record Of
the various men who saw service on
bronze tablets.
Secretary Lyman has already prepar-
ed an address to the people Of the
county in which he asks that the COM
mission be given every possible aid
il getting this data and it is expected
that the data will be gathered within
a year. The commission plans to have
it's first report ready for the considera-
ton of the county board at it's annual
session next November. In the mean
time men from the commission will
not only prepare the data needed but
will get estimates on the cost of get
ting up and casting the tablets so that
the board will be able to act intelli-
gently on the report. It is thought
that the cost of carrying out the plans
as originally stated will be in the
neighborhood of $1,000.
The formal announcement of the
plans of the commission will be sent
out about the middle of this week by
Secretary Lyman.
