MIGRRYNIAI I[ERS MEET DEATH.
Twelve Instantly Killed and Others
Fatally Hurt by Fast Train.

--~-~-----~-
Neenah, Wis, Sept. 24.-Sixteen
deaths will probably result from a
mile-a- minute passenger train crash
ing into party Of thirty-one merry
young people loaded upon hay rack
here this afternoon. A big billboard
obscured from view the locomotive
as we'll as the wagon. Mist and fog
did the rest.
Twelve persons on the hay rack
were instantly killed, one has since
died and three. out Of eight others
injured, are believed to be fatally
hurt. Nine of the thirty-one persons
on the wagon escaped without
scratch, and so did both horses. No
body on the train suffered.
The collision occurred at $40 p.
M, on the Chicago and Northwest
ern Railway. at a crossing here. The
victims were returning from a trip
to the country. where they attended
the celebration Of n wedding ami
versary. All but two. who were Chi
cago men, were residents of Menasha.
Armless, legless and headless
bodies covered the right Of way as
the train Of nine coaches was brought
to stop, 500 feet from the scene Of
the crash. Several Of the bodies
were so badly mutilatcd that idcntifi-
cation was possible only by Fragments
Of clothing.
Six OF the victims, all dead. were
discovered on the engine pilot, where
they lay until removed by the train
crew. Two others were hurled
through flagmans shanty with such
force as to Overturn the little struc-
ture. One Of these, Miss Finn, was
still alive when picked up. She died
few hours later. Another Of the
victims killed was thrown over a
barn. fifty feet from the railway
right Of way.
Bnby'S Miraculous Escape.
Among the occupants of the hay
rack, who escaped, were Mr.. and
two years. They were seated in the
front half Of the rack, the mother
holding the child in her lap. About
half way back in the wagon sat Mary
Schwartzbauer. The latter was hurl-
ed about fifty feet and ndered un-
conscious. When found by rescuers
the Briszinslti child was in her arms,
having escaped unscathed. The par
ents Of the child were only slightly
injured.
Peter Hansen, driver, managed to
hang to the reins md was the only
person aboard who was not tempo
! rarily stunned. He declares he made
every effort to look in both direc-
tions along the track, but did not
observe the On-rushing train until his
| team was on the track. He whipped
up the horses, but could manage to
get the wagon only half way across

There is great deal of sympathy
Throughout the county for the farmers
who have to ship through the Somers
station of the St. Paul road on account
of the difficulties they have been hav-
ing in moyi G their crops and every
farmer in the county and every bust
ness man in the city is hoping that the
appeal which is to be made to the COM
mission for better facilities will be
ular kicks" such as are commonly
registered against a railroad company
by a few individuals who have been
aggrieved by some real or fancied in
jury to themselves personally but the
united protest Of the producers of an
entire section who are facing heavy
losses as result of conditions which
they themselves are poWerless to rene
dy. There is something radically wrong
somewhere when a producer may be
forced to lose large percentage of the
profits of his. labor through inability to
transport his crop to market through
no fault of his own and it is for the
commission to find out where the trou-
bic lies and apply the remedy. It is
true that the railway company has made
an attempt to improve conditions at
this shipping point, but the fact that
practically every shipper in the neigh
borhood has united in the protest to
the commission shows that whatever
effort was made was inadequate to meet
the situation and that further action
is required. The commission will doubt
less make a thorough investigation be-
fore taking any action on the petition
ana whatever changes may be decided
upon will come too late to be of any
help to the shippers this year, but if
they win their case before the commits
sion they will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they can go ahead with
their crops next summer with the assur-
ance that they will have to Face only
tho ordinary troubles of the shipper
when the time comes TO market them in
the fail. The outcome Of the appeal to
the commission will be watched with
interest all through this section Of the
state

ALLEGES CRUEL TREATMENT
Declares That Spouse has Fortune in
Her Own Name and is Demanding
a Division of Ills Estate Which is
Valued at $1,000

Frederick TT. Donsing, one of the
wealthiest farmers Of the town of Som
ers and widely known in Kenosha, has
filed a suit in the circuit court de-
manding a divorce from his wife,
Julia NJ. Gerry Donsing, on grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment. The
summons and complaint in the case
were served on the defendant at the
Donsing home in the town of Somers
and it is expected that the case will
come up for trial during the present
term of the court.
Mrs. Donsing was formerly well
known as the keeper of boarding
house in Kenosha and it was three
years ago that she and Donsing were
married at WATERFOWL. The marriage
caused something of stir among the
people of the town of Somers. The
complaint made by the husband is OF a
sensational nature and he accuses Mrs.
Donsing Of continued cruel and inhu-
man treatment He declares that at
times she practiced personal violence
toward him and that she has repeated
ly accused him of infdelity. He claims
that Mrs. Donsing has SO mistreated
his children by a former marriage that
they have been forced to marry in
order to leave their home and that
one of his sons has been driven from
home by the action of his stepmother.
In his complaint Donsing alleges that
Mrs. Donsing has repeatedly demand
ed a division of the estate and has
declared that she would go her way
if such division was made.
The complaint states that Donsing
has property in the town of Somers
valued at $4,000 ON which there is a
small mortgage and in addition to this
he has considerable personal property.
He asserts that the wife has at divers
times demanded the division of the
estate and had set apart the portion
of the household furniture which she
claims as her share.
The complaint alleges that at the
time Mrs. Gerry was married to Dons-.
ing she was the owner of property at
Highland Park valued at $4,000 and
having mortgage on it amounting to
$4,000. 1t is asserted in the complaint
that she is still the owner of this prop
erty and is in receipt of large in
come from the rentals of it.
Few people in Kenosha knew that
Mrs. Donslng was possessed OF a
fortune in her own name.
Since her marriage to Donsing Mrs.
Donsing has been a leader in the af-
fairs of the neighborhood in Somers
and the filing of the divorce action
caused great sensation in that dis
trict.

The Gamblers, = the most success
ful contemporaneous dramatic Offering
in America, which scored a remarkable
run of 200 performances at Maxine Ii
lofts Theatre, New York, comes to
the Rhode Opera House Friday night,
Oct. 20, under the management of the
Author S Producing Company, of which
John Cort is president.
In this absorbing play by Charles
Klein, author of THE Third Degree, !"
The Lion and the Mouse, 1.-THE Mu-
sic Master, Maggie Pepper" and
notable stage successes the story arises
out Of the operations of one Wilbur
Emerson, who, with several associated
with him in the banking business, uses
the money of the depositors III an err
deavor TO fight several larger banks
Which are endeay0ring to crush them
Ali this would be very well but for
the fact that Emerson has had his faith
er endorse certain notes without telling
him of the real purpose to which he
intends to put them, and if he were
not very fond OF Mrs. Darwin, the wife
OF the prosecuting attorney for the fed
eral authorities. Emerson learns of
DARN $ intended prosecution Of the
group in time to save everybody IS skin,
for he has borrowed enough money to
cover the notes. Unfortunately, how
ever, one of the directors has lost his
nerve and turned states evidence.
Before this is discovered Emerson
matches cards with his associates to de-
eide which must go to Jail to save the
others and, asserting a misdeal, he
claims the card that would have fallen
to his father. 1t is only of his father
that he is thinking at this time, be-
cause the elder Emerson knew nothing
of the transaction. And so, when he
discovers that Cowper has left a full
confession and the tell-tale notes at
Darwin's house he makes up his mind
to go after them there at once.
Darwin has departed for Washington
and Emerson, making his way into the
house by ruse, is discovered in the
library, where he has gone to look for
Cowper's letter by Mrs. Darwin. Oar
win returns and surprises the pair. In
the scene which follows Mrs. Darwin
has a very good opportunity to gauge
the relative value of the two men, and
after Darwin has sent Emerson to jail,
her ringing denunciation of her SNUG
ly hypocritical husband brings the
play to a climax of amazing dramatic
strength.

Alleged Marriage of Chicago
Man Here Under Assumed
NameB Being Investigated
BRIDE ASKS COURTS HELP

A searching investigation is being
made into facts surrounding the marri-
age of Albert Leaf and Miss May
MarkowitZ which took place in this city
on September 7th. Leaf is alleged to
be well known Chicago merchant and
it is alleged that the name ne gave
when he married in Kenosha was an
assumed name given for the purpose of
keeping the marriage a secret. The
bride is said to be resident Of Wall
ingford, Conn, but she was employed
in the store of her husband in Chicago
just previous to the marriage. The
couple Were married by Judge Clifford
L. Randall and before he performed
the ceremony he insisted that both
sign an affidavit that the facts contain
ed in the application for a marriage
license were true.
On the day following the marriage
in Kenosha the local officials received
a letter from the Office of the district
attorney in Chicago stating that a
man by the name of Albert Leaf had
been arrested there on a statutory
charge and that the name Of May
Ma1kowitz had been mentioned in the
complaint. This complaint was dis
missed when the Chicago officials were
advised that the marriage license dis
played by the man and woman was a
genuine one. A little later the plot
began to thicken when the Kenosha
Judge received telephone message
from an attorney in Chicago, stating
that Leaf had declined to support his
bride and that he had married her
under an assumed name for the sole
purpose o fdisposing of the action of
nature which had been brought
against him in the Chicago courts.
Judge Randall told the attorney that
the only action that would lie in this
state would be criminal action for
perjury.
The identity of the man has not been
revealed, but it is said that he is a
merchant on Wilson avenue and a mem
Der Of an old Chicago family. The
fact in connection with the Kenosha
marriage and of the arrest in Chicago
had been carefully hidden under the
assumed name as the man had given
the name of Leaf at the time of his
arrest in Chicago and later when mar
riod in Kenosha. The deception was
carried out throughout the application
for the marriage license here and the
man laimed that his fathers name
was "B. Leaf. = He stated in the
that he was a Russian by
dissent.
Chicago detectives are said TO have
some inside facts in regard to the case
laid before them by the bride and it
is said that the case viii make a ire
mendous sensation when the full facts
in regard to it are given out in Chiea-
go.
Judge Randall said that when the
couple came here to be married there
appeared to be no bar to the ceremony,
but that he took the precaution Of
causing both the bride and groom to
make the affidavit before he consented
to perform thu ceremony.
