OLD BARRACKS BURNED.
Old Buildings at Camp Logan Make
Spectacular Blaze.

The old barracks at Camp Logan, the
Illinois state rifle range just South of
the Wisconsin state line, were com
pletely destroyed by fire on Tuesday
night causing loss of ten thousand
dollars. The flames from the burning
building were seen in Kenosha and it
was thought that some farm in the
neighborhood of Winthrop Harbor had
suffered great loss. The flames are
supposed to have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion. At the time the
fire broke out Major John V. Clinnin
who is in charge of the range, was
entertaining at a reception in honor of
the fifteenth anniversary of his mar
riage and the guests at the reception
were hurriedly turned into fre~fighters
ana they were kept busy fighting the
flames to prevent their spreading to
other buildings on the range. The fire
department. from Zion City also went
to the aid of the soldiers and with
this aid the flames were quickly
subdued.
The barracks had been used since
the erection of a newer building as a
store house for tents, target frames and
other camp necessities. In the build
ing was a tank containing twenty gal
Ions of gasoline. But though fire was
all around the tank the gasoline did
not explode.
Captain Harry +. Keator declared he
believed the fire started from spon-
taneous combustion. With the fire
conquered the guests returned to the
dance hall. The officers washed away
the stains of the smoke of battle and
once more donned their swords.

KILLS FLOODED DOG
Bully Boy" Said to Have
Class of All English Dogs in
Country Killed by Auto
HEAVY DAMAGES DEMANDED

Bully Boy" an English pit terrier,
owned by w. A. Rockingham of New
FORK and claimed to be one of the
finest if not the finest dog Of his breed
in America, met an untimely death in
Kenosha on Tuesday afternoon when
he was run down and killed by an
automobile driven by F. Dunnebacke at
the corner of Ridge and Market street
Rockingham is here doing some work
for the Thomas B. Jeffrey company
and the dog was brought to Kenosha
ON Sunday afternoon and he was on
his way to the train to return to Chi
cago when he met his death. Becking-
ham appeared in the municipal court
this mornings and demanded the arrest
of Dunnebacke on charges of speed
ing and declared that he would at once
killing of the dog. He asserted that
the automobile was running at rate
dog was struck and that he had been
informed that it was the second dog
that had been struck by the automo-
bile during the day.
"Bully Boy" from the story told by
his owner, seems to have embodied all
of the traditional virtues of an English
thoroughbred. The dog was six years
old and had been purchased by Beck
ingham at a cost of 1915 some time
ago. He was brought to New York
and Rockingham declared to the court
that he had recently refused an offer
of 5000 for him. Bully Boy had a
record as a life saver and at one time
he had jumped into the Chicago river
and rescued a little child. Nor was
this all. He has shown his class in
contest with burglar. Some time ago
when Rockingham was living in Chi
cago a burglar broke into his apart
ments. Mrs. Rockingham had the doc
for a protector and the dog sprang at
the burglar and caught him by the
throat and throwing him to the floor
guarded him until the police arrived
and placed him under arrest.
Rockingham declared that he would
not have sold the dog for a thousand
dollars. 1t is probable that the suit
resulting from the killing of the dog
will be decidedly interesting one.

WHEELER GIVES LOW FIGURES
Man Who Built the Water Plant De-
clares That the Filter Gould be In
stalled at Cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 at This Time.

Members of the common council are
now receiving figures from filter con-
Germs with view of building a filter
i'll connection with the plant of the
Kenosha Water company and it is pos
sible that the council will take some
steps along this line within short
time. The figures given run all the
way from thirty to hundred thous-
and dollars. w. I'll. Wheeler Of Beloit,
who was interested in the building of
the water plant, declares that he has
made careful study of conditions in
Kenosha and that he believes that the
only way that Kenosha can secure pure
water is 10 install filter. Mr. Wheel
er has made plans for filter in con-
nection with the Kenosha plant and
he gives his figures on the cost at from
$4,000 to $4,000. These figures are
for filter large enough to take care
of all the water passing through the
mains in Kenosha.
Some time ago the council ordered
the committee on buildings and water
works with the city health officer, city
engineer and Alderman Pirsch added,
to make an investigation of the ques-
ton of securing purer water but as
yet this committee has taken no steps
to carry out the orders of the council.
The chairman of the committee is AL
.derman James Filbin and he is ready
to get busy just as soon as the com,
mittee lines out plan for action.
Alderman Filbin has been one Of the
strongest supporters of plans to Sc
cure better water for the city and it
is certain that he will take a deep per-
sonal interest III the work. However,
he is not willing to rush into a big
contract for the city without ample
consideration. He plans to investigate
the work done in surrounding cities
and at the same time have some autho-
rative tests of water made before he
makes any recommendation to the
other members of the committee.
Contractor Wheeler has been in Ke-
nosha several times during the past
two weeks and declares that the filter
could be installed on property owned
by the city adjoining the water plant.
He declares that his system of purify
ing the water is one of the best de-
vised and that while lot more ex
pensive filters could be purchased by
the city that none of them would prove
more satisfactory.
The question of the extension of the
intake will be considered very careful
y before anything is done in that line.
Members of the special committee
seem to question some of the state
ments of Health Ohcer Spalding in
regard to the condition of the lake
water off Kenosha and the committee
will probably seek to have some prac-
teal tests made before the plan for
extending the intake is abandoned.
