THREE NEAR DEATH
Fred Hannahs, Jr., Urban
Kupfer a d W. Blair
Have Bad Auto Mishap
CAR SKIDS At Devils TURN"

Fred Hannahs, Jr., Urban Kupfer and
w. Blair, all well known young men
of the city, had gamble with death
at "devil's turn" near Russell just
before midnight Saturday night when
the brake on their automobile which
was driven by Mr.. Hannahs failed to
work and running at high rate Of
speed the automobile left the road and
plowed through barbed wire fence.
All the men escaped without serious
injuries, but all of them were badly
scratched up and it seems almost
miraculous that, one or more of them
did not meet death.
"Devil's turn is one of the worst
pieces of road in the neighborhood of
Kenosha. The road comes to an abrupt
turn and it takes the most careful driv-
ing with slow speed to make the turn
in safety. The three men in the car
evidently did not know the road and
without warning of danger they were
running along at a good rate of speed.
All the lights on the machine were lit
and Hannahs, who is known as care
full driver, was at the wheel. The three
left Kenosha just after eleven clock
for a ride and had planned to make q
swing about Russell and return to Ke-
nosha by early morning.
Just as the abrupt turn in the road
was reached Hannahs saw the danger
and attempted to apply the brakes and
stop the car, but the car did not stop
soon enough and it skidded from the
road and tore into the fence. There
was lot of force behind the car and
it hit one Of the posts breaking it off
like pipe stem. The car did not turn
turtle but when the post was struck
two of the wheels were torn off and
splintered and the car rolled over on
it's side. Blair and Kupfer were both
thrown out and Hannahs was pinned in
by the steering wheel. The fact that
the car did not turn completely over
probably saved Hannahs from death.
Kupfer was thrown seventeen PAGES
from the wrecked car and when Han
nahs, who was the first to get out from
the wreckage of the car, found him he
was unconscious, but he revived in
short time and it was found that he had
simply been stunned by the shock.
Blair escaped without injuries. AS soon
as possible the boys managed to get
car and returned to Kenosha and the
wrecked car fitted with new wheels was
brought in under its own power on
Sunday.
This turn in the road is regarded as
one Of the most dangerous in the neigh
borhood and it is possible that the ac-
cident of Saturday night may result in
the officials in charge Of it making some
efforts to improve conditions. That the
three in the automobile escaped with
out death or serious injury was due to
sheer luck of the game.

The close watch that has been kept
on the fire alarm boxes since it was
found that some one not authorized to
have it is in possession of master key
has resulted in the discovery that in
some sections Of the city the children
have been tampering with the boxes
and formal notice has been issued by
the mayor and the chief of the fire de-
partment to the parents that the boxes
must be let alone or serious trouble will
follow for somebody. If possible the
parents viii be held responsible if there
is any further damage done to the boxes
but if it is necessary the children will
be dealt with directly. Neither the
mayor nor the chief is anxious to prose
cute anybody if it can be avoided and
they are hopeful that the warning sent
out will be all that is needed to end
the matter but the tampering with the
boxes must stop and somebody will be
heavily fined if there is any more of it.

WOMAN SMILES AS MEN SETTLE
Seven Men and One Woman Pay Fines
of Ten Dollars and Costs in the
Municipal Court and One Will Fight
Charges.

AS a result of a raid made on a house
on Union street just back of Schlitz
hall on Sunday afternoon eight men
and one woman were arraigned before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
this morning charged with disturbance.
Seven of the men paid fines of ten dol
lars and the costs of the action while
the eighth entered a plea of "not
guilty with a mental reservation that
he could change his plea later. The
woman received a sentence of 4 months
in Jail in default of a fine of $50
and costs.
The raid Of the house was the most
exciting thing on the police docket dur
ing the past forty eight hours. For
some time there have been complaints
made to the police Of disorder in the
house and on Sunday afternoon the com
plants came so fast that it was de-
cided to get warrant and raid the
house. The warrant was placed in the
hands of Police Officers Newhouse, Nc
Clusky and Clausen and just after one
o'clock Sunday afternoon the patrol
wagon backed up to the house and with
out any warning the police battered
down the doors and entered the rooms.
The one woman in the house gave her
name as Susie Luburs. There was a
great scattering when the police reach
ed the house, but it is thought certain
that none of the inmates escaped as
the police had the house surrounded
The woman asserted that she was the
only one of the 'fairer sex' in the
house and she did not seem to be put
out when she was given the, place of
honor in the patrol wagon.
When the crowd reached court this
morning after spending the night in
Jail the court room was crowded with
foreigners. The men declare that there
had been no improper conduct in the
house, but one by one they walked up
and paid their fines. The woman will
also arrange to have her fine taken care
of. She was comely girl of 10 years
and she seemed to be greatly amused
by the movements of the men in court.
The men gave their names as Charley
Stamkus, Jim Kalrat, John Sickmo,
George Kinnen, Tony Yonts, George
Freamen, Joe Yourliske and Ben SIMS
ko. George Kinnen was the only one of
the number who failed to plead guilty
and he asserted that ne had gone into
the house only a minute before the
arrival of the police and that he had
taken no part in the alleged distur-
bance.
All Of the men save two paid fines
and these two went to jail until this
afternoon when their friends took care
Of the fines and costs.
The police declare that they have had
complaints in regard to other places
about the city and that real cleanup of
all these places in which men and WON
en- are herded is to result. For the most
part the places are boarding houses fire.
quented by foreigners and all of them
are located in the north and west parts
of the city.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
Proprietor of Ice Cream Parlor Charged
With Assembling II Year Old Girl.


Louis Heller, the proprietor of an
ice cream parlor on Union street, was
arrested on Sunday morning on serious
statutory charges brought against him
by Miss Lillian Micho, a seventeen year
old girl. The girl alleged that Heller
attempted to commit criminal assault
On her. She told the police that she was
walking along the street in front of the
place kept by the accused man when he
called her into the place and sought to
hire her as waitress. She offered to
accept the position at small salary
and she alleged that the man told her
to come into the room just back of the
main store room and then attempted to
assault her.
Heller who is a foreigner declared
that his arrest was an attempt at
blackmail. He asserted that the Girl
came into the building and asked for a
drink of water and that he gave it to
her and that was all that happened.
He declared that his story would be
substantiated by other people who were
in the place at the time. The Micho
girl was held at the Jail as witness
against Heller and she told her
story to the district attorney this morn
ing. 1t is probably that the man will
be arraigned in the municipal court this
afternoon, but it has not been decided
just what charge will be brought against
him. He has always borne a good
reputation.
