CHARGE CHECK WAS RAISED,
r. Eenbauer Arrested OH Serious
Charge by Chief O'Hare.

r. Neubauer, well known young
man of the north side of the city was
arrested on Tuesday evening by Chief
of Police O'Hare charged with attempt
ing to pass a raised check on Thomas
McNally, a we'll known saloon man.
Young Neubauer had been employed
by the Municipal Engineering and Con-
struction company at Winthrop Harbor
and had been given check in the sum
of $3.50 by the company. The check
was drawn on the Peoples bank of
Waukegan. He admitted to the police
that he went to the postofice and rails
ed the check to $1765 and chen pre-
sented it for cashing. When the check
went to the bank the change in it
was discovered. The raising of the
check was done in bungling manner
and no one should have been deceived
by it. Young Neubauer at first denied
his guilt but later admitted the facts
to the police lie will have hearing
in the municipal court late this after
noon.

HEARING ADJOURNED.
Letter to Sweetheart MAY Aid Officials
in Locating Missing Brother.

The preliminary hearing of James
Marinni arrested many Weelss ago on
charges of assault with intent to do
great bodily harm, was to have been
taken up in the municipal court this
morning, but when the matter was
called the one brother, Frank, was still
missing and the court decided to ad-
loprn the hearing until July 18th to
give the officials further chance to Get
Frank Marinni who is regarded as a
very important witness at the hearing
The officers have not been able to To-
cate Marinni, but they have found that
he has recently written letter to a
sweetheart in Kenosha and they hope
to be able to trace him by means of
this letter. The other brothers Of the
missing man seem to be anxious to
get hold Of him and bring him back
to Kenosha. Marinni is thought to be
hiding in Chicago and It is thought
that within few days he will drop in
to Kenosha. No warrant has as vet
been issued for Frank Marinni, but it
is probable that the same charges
against the brother will be brought
against him when he is found by the
officials.

PRICES HIGH
Six Dollars a Barrel now De-
manded by Commission
Houses of Kenosha
POTATO FAMINE IS FEARED

Six dollars a barrel was the price
demanded today by local commission
merchants for potatoes from Vir-
ginia. This section is now depending
almost entirely on Virginia for pota-
toes and the prices are advancing by
leaps. The price demanded today for
potatoes is the highest known in ten
years and merchants are Of the opinion
that the prices will continue to adj
vance.
There is danger Of a potato famine
as potato growing sections, which
under normal conditions have many
carloads of potatoes to ship out during
the season, are known to be far short
of actual home requirements this year.
As result these sections will be in
the market for supplies, instead of CON
tributing stock to be distributed in
producing centers. The Missouri
state crop report issued last week said
the potato crop in that state was al
most an entire failure with yield Of
only one third normal in most favored
sections.
Unless there is a heavy rainfall
throughout this state within tile next
forty-eight hours the fall potato crop

will be demanded for potatoes, Some
shipments Of potatoes grown in South
ern Wisconsin and northern Illinois
are being received here but the pota-
toes are small. From nearly all of the
potato growing sections Of the state
come reports that potato vines are
burning up and unless there are heavy
rain falls there will be no crop.

PLAN BIG REUNION
Directors of Old Settlers Club
Arranging for Picnic ON
Last Thursday in Aug.


The members of the board of direc-
tors of the Kenosha Old Settler s club
are now making arrangements for the
annual reunion of the club which is
to be held at Paddock's Lake on Thurs
day August 81 and it is planned to
make the reunion this year one of the
most interesting in the history of the
organization. It is probable that the
directors will return to the old plan of
having an orator for the day and some
man widely known in the state will
be invited to deliver the annual ad-
dress. For the past two years the gath
ering has been held without an address
bat the Old Settlers and many of the
younger settlers seem to look with fav-
or on the old plan.
Efforts are being made to have an
obituary record prepared and read at
the coming gathering In the days
when r. F. Roberts was the secretary
VI tic CIup bIIS annual uuOTbudFy Tcc-
ord was made one of the most inter
esting features of the annual reunion.
In recent years this feature has been
omitted, but this year it is expected
that the list of the old settlers who
have died will be complied and short
tributes paid to all the leaders at the
annual reunion.
The city baseball team CAP sained by
John Wade and the county team cap
tanned by Andrew stahl, are expected
to furnish the big feature for the af
ternoon Of the reunion and it is re-
garded as certain that the baseball
game is on. Captain Wade has already
begun to line up the city officials for
tie game and it is certain that the
county will draw on every town to
get together a strong team Of players
It IS thought that this game of bali
viii furnish more interest than any
other game that could be scheduled.
The definite plans for the reunion
will probably be announced within the
next few days.

Man Found Dying at Silver Lake.


The mystery surrounding the identity
of the man found dying in the Coggs-
well Woods at Silver Lake on Tuesday
morning, was cleared up at the inquest
over the remains of the ma. held on
Tuesday afternoon. Tt was found that
the dead man was Joseph Svec, a Chi
cago bartender, residing at 1900 Fisk

years of age. His death is supposed
to have been caused by acute alcohol
ism. The evidence at the inquest
brought out the fact that Svee was
still alive when he was found in the
Coggswell woods on Tuesday morning
There was absolutely no evidence Of
any foul play in the case. svec had
ten dollars and a gold watch on his
person and these were all found after
his death. The remains were semi to
