THINK DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
Mrs. UT Had Been III and it is Sup
posed that She Fell in Faint and
Struck Tube Connected With Gas
Stove Releasing the Gas.

Mrs. Anna Sladek Utt, aged So
years and wife of William F. UT,
well known salesman for the Belle
Clothing company and formerly Demo
cratic candidate for county clerk, was
found dead in the kitchen of her home
$50 Ashland, avenue just after five
o'clock Friday evening. Death had
been caused by asphyxiation by illu-
minating gas and indications seem to
point to accidental death. The body
Of Mrs. Utt was found by her husband
who had returned to the house for his
supper and although she had been dead
but q short time all efforts to resusci-
tate her were in vain. Several physi-
clans were called to the house, but
they declared that Mrs. UT had been
dead for some time.
The body was on the floor of the
kitchen near gas plate which had
been connected with the gas pipe with
a short rubber tube. The tube was
disconnected and the gas was flowing
into the room at the time UT entered
tie kitchen. Mrs. UT had been alone
in the house during the afternoon. For
several days she had been suffering
from nervous headaches, but when Mr..
Ctt left the house to go to the store
just after noon Friday she stated that
she was feeling much better than she
had in several days. During the af-
ternoon Mrs. UT had called several
OF her friends ON the telephone and
had made an appointment for a social
visit with one of her friends for Fri
day evening. When talking with one
of her friends she complained of suf-
fering from an intense headache. 1t
is thought that she went into the
kitchen of the house and fell in faint
to the floor and that in her fall her
arm struck the tube connecting the
gas plate and pulled it from the pipe.
It is thought that while she lay I'M
conscious on the floor that the gas es-
capped and brought death.
Mrs. UT was well known to many
people in Kenosha and her death has
carsed profound sorrow. The deceased
was a daughter Of the late George
Sladek, for many years prominent
resident of Hammond, Ind. She was
a native of Switzerland, but came to
this country with her parents when a
little girl and spent most of her life
at Hammond. She was woman of
education and refinement and had TAX
en- great interest in literary work. Mr..
and Mrs. UT were married in Keno
sha thirteen years ago, the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. I. w.
Corey, formerly pastor of the First
Baptist church. After their marriage
they lived in Chicago until seven years
ago whom they came to Kenosha to
make their permanent home.
Mr.. UT is the sole surviving member
of the family and he has the deep
sympathy Of the community in his
great bereavement.

Great Encampment of NJ. W.
A. Forestry Teams Held in
Eastern City in June
kENOsRA TEAM TO TAKE PART
Plans for the national encampment

Plans for the national encampment
of the uniformed Foresters Modern
Woodmen of America, to be held in
Buffalo June 10 to "a are being made
in Elgin late this afternoon. Maj. Gen.
John Fl. Mitchell of Ionia, Mich, the
commander in chief, Brig. Gen. 7. P.
Anderson Of Rockford and Brig. Gen.
Joseph Riehemann, with the advisory
aid of Col. Richings J. Shand, adult
ant general of the Illinois National
Guard, are making the arrangements
at q conference in the offices of DR.. J.
A. Rutledge, national director of the
Modern Woodmen.
DR.. Rutledge and Joseph Riehemann
are both well known in Kenosha and
Kenosha county Noodmen are glad to
see the high honor bestowed on the
latter. There is little doubt but that
the full uniformed Forester team of
the Pike Woods Camp of Woodmen
will attend the national convention as
they have done in past years. They
have a. great opportunity of being re-
turned prize winners in the competitive
drill.
The Buffalo encampment will attract
thousands of uniformed Modern Wood
men from all parts of the United States
Silver Leaf Camp No. go of Elgin, I'M
der Capt. Morgan Brightman, will at
tend as one Of the competing drill
teams. The Elgin team, under Capt.
u. B. Caughey, won the. national prize
at the Kansas City encampment in
1902. The ground plans for the great
camp, which will accommodate 5000
men, have been drawn by Brig. Gen.
Riehemann.
The Elgin man has but recently re-
ceived promotion from the rank of
colonel Of the Foresters to that Of brig
adler general. The honor is in recogni-
Gion of nine years service. He will
continue his present duties as chief
paymaster Of the organization.
Others recently named brigadier gen
erals by order of MAJ. Gen. Mitchell
are Col. F. /. Ringer of Lincoln, Neb.,
the inspector general; Col. Peter T.
Anderson of Rockford, chief quarter
master, and Col G. A. McCullom, of
Minneapolis, the chief surgeon.
The Kenosha Forestry team is plan
ming to go to Buffalo and it is de-
clared by local members of the order
that the team will be one of the most
notable contestants for the big prizes
offered in the competitive drills. The
Kenosha men will all be fitted out with
new uniforms and new equipment and
it is certain that they will better than
duplicate the high honors won at the
recent head camp session at Peoria,

HAD A MERRY TIME.
Boy Scouts as Hounds Follow the
Hares Over Long Route Saturday.

11oASS AsCL 1IOI1S SATURDAY.
One of the most unique outings ever
attempted by the scouts in this city
was pulled off last Saturday by mum
Der of boys from the English Metho-
dist church. Tt was one of the real
hare and houn3 chases. The boys Were
divided into three groups with lead
er for each group. Although it rainol
hard the boys were not to be beaten,
going in spite of it. The boundaries
that were laid out were as follows:
the state line on the south; the first
Milwaukee road on the west; the lake
on the east; the Blank road on the
north. This made an area of twenty
four square miles.
The start was made at $50 by the
hares. At noon the hounds followed.
Reports were sent into the Y. NJ. G.
A. at intervals of half hours, as to
the whereabouts of the different parties
and where they where going. In this
way they kept tab on the others. At
noon they all stopped for lunch and
rest Then the chase began anew, I'M
til half past five when the hares were
captured, five miles from the city. The
boys came home drenched from the
rain and tired, but high in spirits. Al
together they covered about twenty
two miles.
The hares were: Wallis, Nelson, La
Sale, Hubbard, Clark, Letsom, Nelson,
Gray, Gail. The hounds were: Cooper,
Hackett, Rehm, Matthews, Gray, Nor
row, spoor, Maddox, Letsom and
Matthews.

TIRED OF STRENUOUS LIFE
Weaver is Said to Have Enlisted in the
Army From Kenosha But Little or
Nothing is Known of Him Here
Leaves Unusual Letter.

II have done this of my own free
will. l do it because I am tired of hv-
ing-life is HI. I am suffering of an
incurable disease and am slowly going
blind. [ have travelled the downward
path and most earnestly warn others
to beware as the end is DEATH"
George W. Weaver, private of
Troop [, Fifteenth Cavalry stationed
at Fort Sheridan, and said to have en-
listed from Kenosha, wrote note Fri
day morning the text of which was as
stated above. Then he drained a bot
tie of stryehnine.
He was still alive when found but
lived but short time. Just before
death he announced that he had swal-
lowed the strychnine. Everything pos
sible was done to save his life but he
died in spite of everything.
His body was taken at once to an
undertaking establishment on Wabash
avenue and later may be removed to
Fort Sheridan, or to his home in Day
ton, Ohio, where he has sister and
brother living.
I" Weaver appeared to be in the best
of spirits when he left the fort for
Chicago on leave of absence yester-
day. said an officer at Fort Sheridan
today. ~ never have heard that he
complained of being i'll or that he was
Respondent at any time. The first that
we knew of the affair was when we re-
ceived word that he had committed sui
cide.'
So far as could be learned Weaver
never had confided his secret to men
stationed at the fort but had kept the
secret stored in his own breast until
it's constant gnawing became more than
he could stand. Everything pointed to
the fact that he had arranged every
thing as carefully as possible before
taking the fatal step.
In his letter and also in the little
conversation with those who gathered
about his bedside before he died, Wea-
yer confaed that he had led riotous
life and admitted that it is the pace
that kills.
He said he had been suffering of an
incurable disease as a result of this
wild life and said that although he had
consulted many physicians his condi-
ton had been pronounced hopeless. The
realization that he was going blind was
more than he could stand, he said, and
he decided upon self-destruction to put
an end to everything.
His warning for others to beware of
the pitfall into which he had fallen
was pitiful in the extreme. He said
that such life could lead to but one
place and that was an early grave. His
hearers were deeply touched by his ear
nestness
Weaver was quite well liked at the
fort although of late he had been of a
more or less quiet disposition. His fell
low soldiers did not think much of this
at the time but now they attribute it
to brooding over his illness.
Efforts to locate relatives of Weaver
in Kenosha have been without result
and it is supposed that he had been
in Kenosha but short time when he
enlisted in the army.

Tony and Tom Rebich were both bit
ten by a dog belonging to one of the
all too numerous tribes of gypsies in
Kenosha ON Sunday morning. The
boys Were not seriously injured, but
the police considered their injuries a
sufficient cause to slaughter the dog.
There was weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth among the gypsies
as result of the dog killing.

Injured by Exploding Cannon

Only one accident is reported as
the result of Fourth of July enthus-
iasm and exploding powder, in this
vicinity. The eldest son of Edgar
Morgan, who lives on the Garvin hill
road, and companion were firing a
cannon, made from gun barrel, and
had loaded up the piece pretty well.
When match was applied it failed
to discharge. The young artillery
men waited for what they supposed
was reasonable time, and then APP
preached the cannon, when belated
explosion occurred which was highly
satisfactory as sound maker, but
filed young Morgan's face with pow
der and singed his eyebrows. His
eyes escaped injury and he is rapidly
recovering from his wounds.

in similar way. Five hundred

it was once more cool and fair.
Saturdays weather was a warning
of worse things to come and on Sun
day the mercury touched 96,-stick-
ing up around that point for the next
FIVE days. Mondays record was 50,
and on the 4th the mercury rose to
100, though there was little breeze
to relieve the situation somewhat
1t dropped only two notches We'd
nesday, to 50. Thursday opened
under the same intolerable, blistering
conditions, and then thunder, light
ming and rain ended the weather
mans riotous and suffocating orgy.

afternoon, but that section got a good
ducking in the evening, this village
