East Walker CIoudburst

ON Friday of last week, when the
heavy thunder shower prevailed i'll Yer
ington and other parts of Mason Valley,
a cloudburst occurred just above the
Morgan ranch, on the East Walker
River. Hail fell in great quantities and
the water washed the ranch bitches full
of dirt and rock, covered up alfalfa and
grain land with debris and did consider
able other damage. There was no loss
of life to stock so far as known. The
Lewis bulkhead also went out, and thus
added to the volume of water that spread
about the flat country.

HAD QUIET WEDDING.
Miss Harriet A. Harff and Leo E
Alvord Married This Morning.

There was a very quiet little we'd
ding ceremony at the parsonage of the
German Methodist church at half past
nine clock this morning the contract
ing parties being Miss Harriet, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. J. Harff and
well known young lady of the city,
and Leo E. Alvord, head bookkeeper
for the Kenosha Gas and Electric com
pany. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Peter Rech, pastor of the
church in the presence of few friends
and relatives of the bride and groom.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Alvord left for Chicago
where they will spend short honey
moon. They will make their home at
557 Rowland avenue and will be at
home to their friends after the first
of May. Both the bride and groom
are widely known in Kenosha and they
will have the best wishes of a large
circle of friends and relatives. The
date Of the wedding had been kept
secret from the friends of. the bride
and groom and for this reason the an
nouncement will come as something of
a surprise to them.

1t is nobodys fault exactly because
nobody could foresee the great growth
Of the city, but for the next few years
the city is going to be put to consid-
cradle expense in replacing and re-
Quilting public improvements which
were sufficient when they were planned
but which have been outgrOwn. The
council should make an ironclad rule
and stick to it that in the future all
improvements put in of whatever ma
ture shall be so constructed that they
may become part of a complete system
no matter how much the city may ex-
tend, This is particularly true of many
of the older sewers in all parts of the
city. At the time they were built they
were plenty large enough and it was
believed that they would take care of
all future growth in population, but the
city has outgrown them and where it is
impossible for the engineers to arrange
to take the surplus sewage into some
of the new sewers, the old sewers which
have done service for many years will
have to be rebuilt and enlarged and
this work will have to be done at the
expense of the city.

The books of the Kenosha County
Old Settlers Club are now open for
subscriptions and it is to be hoped
that the response of the people OF the
county will be prompt and dellberal
enough to permit Of the carrying out
of the plans for the improvements
planned by the club this summer. There
must be great many people IN the
county whom the passing years have
made eligible for membership in the
organization and a stock certificate OF
the club is one thing needed to con-
firm their right to the proud title OF
cold settler. This organization is
one in which the people of the country
may well take pride for it was founded
and supported by the pioneers, the men
and women who laid the foundation on
which the present prosperity of the
county rests. The annual gathering of
the club is very generally observed as
holiday all through the county and
it is to provide proper accommodations
for the crowds that flock to these meet
ings that the club is raising funds by
the increase in the capital stock.

Moore is a veteran of the civil war
and he and his wife and one daughter
have been living in Kenosha Heights
for several years. The complaint of the
wife is of sensational nature, she
declaring that at different times during
their quarter of a century of married
life, her husband had attacked her
with stove pokers, stove wood and that
at .one time he had chased her with a
shot gun. Moore is alleged to have
property valued at $4,000 besides the
amount he receives monthly from the
government as a pension and the wife
asks for division of the property
and the custody Of the one daughter,
Miss Harriet Moore, who is now TWEEN
ty years of age. The case will be
tried at the April term of the NUM-

COULoN COMING BACK.

johnny Coulon, the little bantam
weight torpedo, is to be seen again in
Kenosha as Matchmaker George Tul-
ly of the Badger Athletic club has com
pleted arrangements to have Coulon
meet Phil McGovern, the clever Mil
waukee bantamweight fighter in linn
tied round go to be pulled off at the
Auditorium here on the night Of April
goth. The articles for the bout have
been signed.
HPop' Coulon, the father manager
of the champion likes Kenosha as
fighting center and he has ex-
pressed his willingness to have
the champion meet McGovern here
IT proper arrangements can be
made. Coulon made a big hit in
Kenosha and there is little doubt
but that the bout between Coulon and
McGovern will draw great crowd.
Kenosha sports are anxious to have
Coulon meet frankie Conley here even
if the bout is to be a limited mum.
Der of rounds. Conley is not out look
ing for ten round fights, but it is GER
tain that he would get into such a 60
with Coulon if the bout could be pulled
off in Kenosha. Conley meets Joe Riv-
ers, the Mexican, in forty-fve round
fight at Los Angeles next Saturday
night and will return to Kenosha i'm
mediately after this fight and will then
be ready to talk plans for a battle
with Coulon.
Kenosha fans have never had a
chance to see Conley in action since
he reached the championship class and
it is certain that Conley- Coulon bat
tie in Kenosha would be one of the
best drawing cards that could be ar
ranged. Any one of the Kenosha clubs
would be willing to stage the bout if
the two boys would sign articles to
get together.

TO TRY CASE IN THIS COUNTY
Judge Transfers Case Against Kenosha
County Officials to This County.

At the opening of the April term
of the circuit court for Racine county
in Racine on Monday afternoon Judge
Belden issued an order changing the
place for the trial Of the suit of John
Frenyak against Sheriff Andrew Stahl
and Chief Of Police Owen 0 Hare from
Racine to Kenosha county. Frenyak
demands damages on account of his
being taken into custody in connection
with the death of Maria Zahon in
January of this year. The attorneys
for the Kenosha county officials made
an affidavit demanding a change of
venue in the case on account of the
fact that both of the defendants were
residents of Kenosha county. The
case will probably come up for trial at
the September term of the circuit
court for this county. The officials
named in The complaint hint at some
very interesting developments, but as
yet the line of their defense has not
been made public.

VICTOR WINS IN LAST ROUNDS
Prelininaries to Main Bout of the
Evening Prove Decidedly Tame and
Small Crowd Witnesses the Boxing
Show

Billy Ellison, the Kenosha light
heavyweight, won hair line decision
over Al Goodale, the veteran Chicago
fighter in their ten round bout before
the Kenosha Athletic club at the Gold
berg Auditorium on Tuesday night, but
at that Ellison s lead over his more
famous opponent was nothing to brag
about. The battle was fast from start
to finish and during the earlier rounds
of the contest it looked as if Ellison
had met his match. Goodale was in
great condition and Notwithstanding
the fact that it was stated that both
of the men were under the weight linn
it of 165 pounds it looked as if Good
ale had lot on Ellison in the matter
Of weight. In the opening stages of the
fight Goodale showed up strong, but at
that Ellison was forcing the fighting.
In the seventh round Ellison was in
trouble and some of the fans expect
ed that he would be knocked out by
Goodale. However, he managed to
stick the round out and at the end
of the round Goodale who had sought
hard to land a knockout, was all in.
In the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds
it was all Ellison. The youth of the
Kenosha fighter came to his aid and
he had the veteran stalling all the
time. In the last rounds Ellison land
ed many stiff punch on Goodale and
he had his opponent guessing all the
time. Ellison showed wonderful recup-
erative powers and in the last rounds
he had a big margin over the Chica-
go fighter. Both men were on their
feet at the end of the bout and no
decision was given, but popular ae-
claim gave the decision to Ellison.
The preliminaries were pretty tame.
In the first bout Frankie White of
Chicago, met George Bretz and it took
him just two rounds to bring Bretz
to the place where he was willing to
quit. At the end of the second round
the seconds Of Bretz threw his towels
into the ring. Bretz was beaten all
the way and he was no match for
White.
It was bad night for the Bretz
family of fighters for in the second
bout Art Bretz met Art Cappe1in, a
Kenosha fighter, and he got almost as
bad a pummeling as his brother had
received in the former bout. Cap
pelln failed to show knockout punch
but he had Bretz groggy several times
during the six rounds and at the end
of the bout Bretz was hanging on to
prevent a knockout.
The show was not a success fnan-
cially and less than 300 people at
tended.

MAKES GOOD PROGRESS.
Report of Kenosha Associated Chari-
ties Shows Work is Progressing.

The board of directors of the Asso
ciated Charities of Kenosha met in
regular monthly session Monday after
noon. The report of Miss Louise
Cottrell,, superintendent of the field
work, was an interesting account of
three busy weeks. During two of these
weeks there were seventeen offeo calls
for assistance; forty-iye home vista
tions made. Twenty-Five cases were
referred to the superintendent. Miss
Cottren appreciates highly the spirit
of earnest cooperation shown her in
starting out in this work. Estimating
some OF the most practical parts of
the cooperation in dollars and cents
which 1t represents, the amount would
approximate forty dollars. The finance
committee consisting of Charles T. JEFF
fiery, Walter Frost, Frank Wells, have
started on a campaign for funds. The
medical association has given great en-
Oou1 dSCnSuG 10 Gu6 dSSOCidGIOA ny the
very hearty cooperation it is showing
in carrying forward the efforts of re-
lief and reform.
At this meeting it was decided that
the development of the work not only
warranted but necessitated keeping
the Office, at 214 Wisconsin street,
open all day and it was voted to secure
the services of an Office assistant who
should also be the stenographer for
the superintendent.
Miss Van Ostrand, superintendent of
the Central District, Associated Chair
ties OF Chicago, was present and gave
some excellent suggestions at the
same time commencing most highly the
organization here and the splendid re-
suits it had already accomplished.

TO USE MOTOR CYCLE.
Police to Secure New Equipment to
Chase Offending Auto Drivers.

The police of the city are getting
ready for the enforcement of the law
against automobile speeding in Keno
sha and to this end the council will at
the next meeting be asked to purchase
a motor cycle for the use of the mem
bers of the force. Yesterday an ac-
communicating agent for the machines
gave the police chance to practice
up and from the chief down the men
are now proficient in the use of the
gasoline bicycle. Chief O'Hare claims
that the cost of the machine will be
about $240 and that the city will be
able to make back all of the cost in
the collection of automobile fines. He
declares that it is impossible for the
police to enforce laws against speed
ing without a machine to follow up
the reckless drivers. The crusade
against speeding is to be started at
once and with the motorcycle as an
aid the police expect to be able to
catch a majority Of the violators of
the speed laws in the city.

Reports Show That There is
Some Decrease in Num-
Der of Idle Cars
COUNTRYS TRAFFIC KEEPS UP

A slight upward turn In the trend of
railway traffic as indicated by the num-
Der of freight cars in use, is shown
in the foftnightly bulletin of car
surplus and shortages issued during
the day by the American Railway asso-
citation. For the first time since Octo-
Der -, 1910, the bulletin shows de-
crease in the number of idle cars on
the side tracks of the railways Of the
United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The decrease for the two weeks end
ed March 20, as reported by this bull
letin, was 1870, leaving total
surplus still of 196,217, whereas in
March, 1910, the surplus did not ex-
ceed 1915. On October IL it had been
reduced to 1895, and from that time
until the date Of the present bulletin
the number of idle cars has steadily
increased with the falling off in gen
eral traffic.
The decrease in surplus cars report
ed is divided about equally among the
various classes of equipment, with sub
stantial decreases in the eastern and
middle sections as well as in the south.
In New England and Canada, accord
ing to the report there are increases in
the box car surplus. Reports also in
dictate, it is stated, that there is prae-
tically no change in the number of
shop cars since the last bulletin, from
which it follows that the decrease in
surplus denotes an increase in the num-
Der of cars in service.
cit should also be noted,'' says
Arthur Hale, chairman of the COM
mittee making the report, Efthat since
the present increase began the surplus
of box cars has been comparatively
small, indicating that the general traf-
fic of the country is keeping up well. =

The first quarterly reports of the
Register of Deeds, County Clerk, and
Clerk Of the Circuit court just made
to the county board, the first since
these offices We're put on a straight sal
airy basis, indicate that the supervisors
did a good stroke of business for the
county when the fee system of compen-
sating the holders of these positions
was abolished, regular salaries fixed,
and the legal fees collected ordered
turned over to the county. The receipts
to the county from the fees will much
more than compensate the county for
any increases in salaries which may be
made in the future and it is probable
that with the fees as now fixed by law
remaining as they IRE, the receipts to
the county from this source will in
crease annually from now on. Atten-
ton is called to the fact that the quar-
ter reported ON is the smallest in the
year for the county offices and that the
amounts of the fees turned in to the
county are likely to be larger for the
next three quarters. 1t appears that
in the future the salaries OF these off
GERS of the county are going to be paid
for the most part by the people who
require their services in matters for
which fees may be charged. In this
connection it should be stated that the
county board refused to allow the Off
cials any leeway in the matter of col
lecting the fees and that they were in
structed to collect every fee allowed BIZ
law for any and all services rendered
and that no redit was to be given.
This stand taken by the board is in a
large measure responsible for the sur
prisingly large total of fees collected.
Up to the time this order was made the
officials were accustomed to do lot
of work for the people of the county
for which fees could have been charg-
ed for nothing and about the only crit
icism of the change to the salary sys-
tenn has come from people who have
had to pay fees under the rule for ser
vices which were formerly performed
gratis by the officials but these com
plants win not have much influence
with the taxpayers of the county who
are saving money by the change.
