Not long ago Frank Crawford. the attor-
ney. was considered to be one Of the best
base ball players in Omaha. But he has
been out OF the game for a few years
past. For more than year he has been
studying law and cricket at oxford uni
versity. England, and when he. returned
home this week. he could not Withstand
the call OF the ball"
When he was most pressingly invited to
take part In the Omaha Council Bluffs

The case of the father who lost his
reason grieving over the death of his
little girl who was killed in the "death
strip" is about as sad thing as the
history of the city can show and this
tragedy should be sufficient incentive
to the city authorities to use every
effort to improve conditions along the
tracks so that the danger of further
accidents Oh the kind will be reduced
to minimum. So long as people per
sist in invading the right of way of the
railroad company they will always be
in more or less danger but this section
Of the tracks which hundreds of men,
women and children use for a thorough
fare can be made much safer than it
is at present, Even with the expendi-
ture Of whatever money is needed to
carry out the Improvements now sug-
gested, the lives of the people who
take this "short cut" will not be any
too well guarded but with the precau-
tions which it is proposed to take the
number of accidents should be material
ly reduced.

DR.. Stonebraker, Formerly
Widely Known in County,
Dies in Sioux City, la.
RECALLS FAMOUS COURT CASE

kilograms received in the village of
Bristol Wednesday announced the death
of DR.. Peter Orrin Stonebraker, form
erly widely known in Kenosha county,
which occurred some time Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning at Sioux
City, Iowa. No details of the death
of the former Kenosha county doctor
We're given in the kilograms, the mes
sage simply stating that the doctor had
| died suddenly in Sioux City and ask
ing that some directions be given for
the disposition of the body. The re-
mains will arrive in Bristol on Friday
and will be buried at the family plat
at the cemetery there.
The death of DR.. Stonebraker produc-
ed profound sensation in Bristol and
in the town of Somers where he was
widely known. The friends of the doc
tor had not known of any illness and
ne was supposed to be practicing his
profession at Scotland, S. D.
DIR. Stonebraker was son of the
late Orrin G. Stonebraker, one of the
best known of the pioneer residents of
the town of Bristol. He was born in
Bristol, Sept. 6, 1865. He was edu-
Gated in the schools of Bristol and Ke-
nosha and graduated from Rush Med
ical College in Chicago as member of
the class Nof 1892. After his gradua-
tion he went to the town of Somers to
practice medicine and became we'll
known as physician throughout the
county. DR.. Stonebraker' death re-
calls one of the most sensational cases
ever tried in Kenosha county. He was
named as defendant in divorce ac-
ton by his wife and in connection with
the case sensational evidence was
brought out which resulted in a war
rant being issued for the arrest of the
doctor on serious statutory charge.
His friends declared that he was the
victim of a plot but before he was ar
rested on the warrant he left the coun-
ty and state and no effort was evef
made to bring him back to Kenosha
county for trial. On account of the
prominence Of the doctor and the mem
bers of his family the issuance of the
warrant proved to be one of the most
sensational events in the history of the
county. Little had been heard of DR..
Stonebraker since he went west.

One of the unmistakable signs of the
near approach Of colder weather is the
big increase in the number of hobos and
Migrants of all descriptions passing
through the city. The fall tide of trav-
Ell of the knights Of the road has set in
towards the big cities just as it always
does about this time of the year and
about the only thing that makes it pos
sible for the people of the city to en-
dure this somi-annual pest with fair
degree of patience is the knowledge
that these unWelcome visitors seldom
tarry with us longer than a single night
and then push on towards their goal of
the barrel houses of Chicago where
most of them make their winter quar-
ters. The people who are being con-
stantly importuned for GA little assist
ance'' may not notice any falling off
in the calls for help for time yet for
enough new ones drift in during the
day to take the place of those who move
on every morning but at the rate the
stream is moving there must be an end
to the supply pretty soon now.

This County Not Recognized
in Appointment of State
Political Committees
PLATFORMS ARE PROGRESSIVE

Kenosha Republicans will have no ac-
tive part in the Republican campaign
in Wisconsin this year as at the con-
vention of the party which closed at
Madison Wednesday evening Kenosha
and Racine counties were entirely over
looked in the making up Of the state
central committee and the members from
this district are t. G. Handley Of Beloit
and M. A. Morrissey of Delavan. Henry
Krumey of Sheboygan, former mem
Der of the State Senate was elected as
chairman of the Republican committee
| and William L. Essman Of Milwaukee
was named as secretary. The only dis
tinction given to Kenosha county was
the naming Of Senator Isaac 7. Bishop
as member of the committee on ere
dentials at the Republican convention.
The state Democrats did not notice
Kenosha county either, but Racine coun-
ty secured representation on the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, Ward
Clemens being named as member of
the committee.
1t was decided that the headquarters
of both of the committees will be in
Milwaukee and the headquarters will
probably be at the Plankinton House.
Senator LaFollette was the, big feat
ure of the Republican convention and
the provisions of the platform adopted
for the state campaign were all approx
ed by him before insertion
! The features of the platform are as
follows:
Condemnation of the Payne Aldrich
tariff act.
Physical valuation of railroads and
more stringent regulation of them.
Second choice primaries.
Initiative, referendum and recall.
Anthology law.
Graduated income tax.
Home rule in the liquor traffic.
National control of natural resources.
Advalorem taxation of corporations.
Condemnation of the "pernicious act
ivity' in the recent primary campaign
of the brewery corporations, insurance
agencies and the binding Irvine "trust''
Employers liability laws.
Condemnation of the suppression by
special interests in congress of the in
vestigations of the country life commits
sion.
Regulation of working hours of WON
en- and children.
Urging the federal government to de-
termine the style of craft best ADAPTED
for river use in the light of future i'm
provement of streams.
The principal feature of the Demo
cratic State platform was a declaration
against county option. The platform
adopted at the former state convention
was endorsed but leaders at the conven-
tion insisted that the Democrats of the
state go on record as being opposed to
the principle of county option and after
a stormy time the plank of the plat
form condemning county option was
adopted.

Such large number OF Kenosna
county people attend the fairs In all
the adjoining counties that it has been
suggested that it might be possible to
have a Kenosha county fair. Ii such
an undertaking was pledged as much
support as Kenosha county people now
give to other fairs in other counties 1t
would have a good start on the road to
success. The old fair grounds have
been subdivided but another, and pos
sibIy more central location could be
secured and if enough Of the leading
men Of the county could be induced to
take hold of project of the kind they
could get up an exhibition that would
be a credit to all concerned. 1t must
be admitted that the men who nave
been approached on the subject are not
enthusiastic over the prospects Of max
ing such an undertaking financial sue
cess but the suggestion has been made
and it is given for what it is worth.

WILL GIVE LAND FOR ROUTE
Believed That Chicago Capital Will be
Found to Finance the Road If the
Right of Way is Assured by the Pro
perty Owners.

Farmers in the western part of the
county who are interested in securing
better transportation facilities between
their homes and Kenosha have taken up
with zest the plan of Justin K. Orvis,
the Waukegan attorney, to build a line
Of electric railway from Kenosha to
Wilmot and meetings will be called in
the near future at which the farmers
themselves will take some steps to urge
the common council Of Kenosha to give
the proposed company terminal facili-
ties in Kenosha.
The movement to secure the building
of the road is being given strong sup
port by men interested in summer re-
sorts throughout the county and these
men have started house to house can
vass through the town of Salem to find
just what can be done among the farm
ers. Several Of the property owners
affected by the coming of the proposed
line have suggested that the farmers
get together and provide right of way
for the line. Some years ago District
Attorney r. V. Baker started out to
work among the farmers on similar
line but the Chicago men whom heirep-
resented gave up the project on account
Of the fact that the farmers were not
willing to do their share toward get
ting the line. It is known that more
than mile of right of way has already
been pledged for the new project and
many other farmers are taking a deep
interest and it is expected that they
will later offer free right of way for
the company. The people in Salem and
Bristol seem to be very anxious to get
this new gateway to Kenosha. These
people for years have been dependent
on the trains on the Western Division
of the Northwestern road and at many
times Of the year this service is entirely
inadequate. 1t is certain that the
building of the proposed electric road
would offer these people frequent trains
to Kenosha and it is just as certain
that the business interests of Kenosha
would get a big boost in the building
of the line.
The proposition of Orvis has been dis
cussed informally among members of
the common council and it is certain
that some of them will be in favor of
the building of the line. The main hitch
in the proceedings is going to come
when stock in the company is put on
sale. There are some men who will be
willing to go into the company as stock
holders but they are few end far be-
tween and it is beginning to look as if
the promoters of the company will have
to raise the money outside of Kenosha
county. If the farmers show a willing
ness to grant the proposed right of way
through their farms and the city shows
a willingness to permit the company to
get into the center of the city without
holding it up for big damages it is
pretty certain that plenty of capital
can be found for the building of the
line.
The city Of Waukegan demanded
$4,000 in cash for terminal rights and
the company refused to accept them
at this figure, the promoters of the road
declaring that they would not pay one
cent for the terminal rights, claiming
that the city would reap greater ben
eft than the company.
