NELSON MAY FIGHT HERE.
Battler May be Matched to Meet Jack
Redmond Here on April 21st.

Kenosha fight fans may get a chance
to see some real action in the SQUARED
circle as negotiations are now under
way to match Battling Nelson the for
mer lightweight king and Jack Red
mond of Milwaukee for a ten round
battle to be pulled off here on the
night of April 21st.
This will be Nelson's first important
battle since he was knocked out bv
Owen Moran, and it is likely that CON
siderable interest will be evinced in
the Danes return to the padded circle.
The beating which Nelson received
from Wolgast and the second trounc-
ing at the hands of Owen Moran seem
ed to have stopped all of the great
battler's vitality and evidently he Is
on the downside, although loath to adj
NIT it.

Lake Shore League Season
Vi us with Game Between
Kenosha and Racine
ADOPT SCHEDULE NEXT SUNDAY

Following a conference with Lake
Shore league managers, President
Klocksin, Wednesday night, announced
that the formal opening of the league s
season will take place on Sunday, May
z. It had originally been planned to
open the season on Easter Sunday, APP
ril 16, but owing to the uncertainty of
the weather the state clubs preferred
to begin the campaign the. first Sunday
in May, as has been the custom in for
mer years.
The playing strength of the various
teams in the circuit, according to the
leagues head, is a matter of specula-
ton and it is likely that the probable
ineups will not be given out until the
end of the present month. It is known
however, that Sheboygan, West Bend,
Racine and Kenosha have signed a
number of star local players, who have
requested that their names be held in
confidence until the opening Of the
Lake Shore season.
An important meeting of the league s
managers and officials will be held at
the Republican house in Milwaukee on
Sunday, April 10, at which time the
schedule will be adopted and all remain
ing details disposed of, preparatory to
the season s opening.
Following the usual custom, Presi-
dent Klocksin has given out the first
round of games as follows:
Sunday, May z.
At Misunderstanding VS. Stumpf
&, Langhoffs.
At Kenosha-Racine VS. Kenosha. /

Son of Jorgen Fredson, Miss
ing More Than a Year, Asks
Administration
FOUND NO TRACE OF FATHER

Believing that his father Jorgen
Fredson, who disappeared from Ken
osha under mysterious circumstances
on the afternoon of JAN IL, 1910, is
dead Samuel G.. Fredson of the town
of Pleasant Prairie has filed an apph-
cation in the county court for the ad-
ministration of the estate of his father.
The petition which is sworn to by the
son declares that Fredson died at the
city of Kenosha on or about the 18th
day of JAM, 1910. It is stated in the
petition that Fredson left real estate
in the county valued at 5000 and per-
sonal property to the value of $4,000
and that he left no will The heirs to
the estate are Samuel G. Fredson the
petitioner, Annie Fredson, Frederick
Larsen, of Kenosha, Mrs. Marie An
derson, Mrs. Sarah Augustine of Pleas
ant Prairie, Anthony Fredson Of Sal
EN- and Andrew Fredson minor whose
address is unknown to the other bro
theirs and sisters.
The petition is a peculiar one and at
torneys are very much in doubt as to
whether or not the children will be
able to establish any claim to the es-
tate. It is admitted that the children
have no actual evidence of the death
of their father. District Attorney Hen
Try j. Hastings who appears for the
heirs to the estate was seen this morn
ing and he said: "We have no actual
evidence of the death of Fredson but
we believe that the showing made will
be sufficient for the appointment of a
general administrator. We do not ex
pect to be able to close up the estate. -
The law of Wisconsin provides for the
handling of the estate Of missing peo-
pie and under the law Fredson could
be declared legally dead and the estate
divided among the heirs seven years
after the date Of his disappearance.
The members of the Fredson family
have made every possible effort to get
some solution of the mystery attend
ing the disappearance. Fredson came
to Kenosha on the morning of Jan. IL,
1910 and after collecting judgment
of $500 which had been awarded to him
by the courts he is supposed to have
started from west side saloon to go
to his home in Salem. There was a
great snow storm that night and Fred
son is supposed either to have been lost
in the storm or to have met with foul
play. For months search was made for
the body Of Fredson but absolutely no
thing was ever found. The fact that
Fredson had the large sum Of money
in his pockets at the time of his dis
appearance has caused the theory Of
foul play to be closely followed. The
action Of the county court in the matter
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.

DELEGATES FOR STATE CAMP
Judge G. e. Randall and Walter Carey
Will Represent Kenosha County at
State Meeting Held Here in May
Next

Judge Clifford E. Randall of Ken
osha and Walter Carey of Wilmot were
named as delegates to represent Ken
osha county Woodmen at the coming
State Camp of the order to be held in
Kenosha in May, at the meeting Of the
County Camp on Wednesday afternoon
and William Hester of Salem and
Charles Sleight of Kenosha were nam
ed as alternate delegates. The mem
bers of the various camps in the county
will aid materially in entertaining the
state camp sessions and it is expected
that each of the camps in the county
will send large delegations to the state
meeting. The Kenosha County Wood
men have gone on record as being fav-
orable to some revision of the rates
charged in the order which will pro-
vide for the establishment of reserve
fund and the delegates elected were
urged to use their influence to secure
the enactment of legislation by the
State Camp and by the head camp of
the order for the creation of a reserve
fund. Dwight House one Of the dele
gates from the Kenosha camp was at
the head Of the movement which pro-
vided for the collection Of twelve full
assessments a year with the under
standing that the amount so collected
over the amount needed for the pay
ment Of actual claims should go into
the reserve fund of the order. It was
stated that it would be necessary to
change the charter of the order in or
der to make the creation of the reserve
fund possible and it is probable that
some resolutions will be passed by the
Kenosha State Camp providing for such
"a change.
The members Of the County Camp by
a unanimous vote endorsed the candi-
dacy of A. n. Bort Of Beloit as a can
didate for reelection as Head Direct
or of the Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea. Mr. Bort has been in office for
several years and he is recognized as
the most active member of the direc-
torate Of the organization and his work
for the order has been Of such a high
order that it has attracted the atten-
tion of the order at large Wisconsin
has about one-tenth of the entire mem
bership Of the order and it is held that
for this reason the candidacy of Dir
ector Bort will meet with favor. Al
ready there are some ten candidates in
the field for the office and it is certain
that Director Bort will have the sup
port of the II county camps in Wiscon-
sin.
Many other matters of interest were
taken up by the delegates to the coun-
ty camp and the meeting proved the
most interesting ever held among the
Woodmen of Kenosha county. Kenosha
was selected as the place for the hold
ing of the next county camp.
Following the regular sessions an in
formal session was held at which ar
rangements were completed for the en-
PERTAINING of the State Camp. The for
NAL program for the entertainment of
the State Camp will be announced with
in the next few days.
