ted Suicide in Brighton
J on Sunday Afternoon.
TRACE DOWNFALL TO LIQUOR
Man Had Eeen on Protracted Drunk
and Returned to Farm Early Sunday
Morning and Later Went to Sheep
Barn and Hanged Himself,

Rudolph Weinhard, a farm hand en-
ployed on the farm of Anton Daniels.
committed suicide in The sheep barn
at the Daniels farm lust after noon
Sunday when he choked himself with a
rope attached to the low roof of the
building. Weinhard was determined in
his effort to die and dragged himself
along the floor until his neck was brok-
en-. He was found by Daniels a short
time after death.
The man had left the Daniels farm
on last Tuesday and did not return I'm
til early Sunday morning. When he re-
turned it was evident that he had been
drinking heavily and he seemed to be
completely wrecked in health. He went
about his work during the morning and
just after dinner he declared that he
would go out to the barn and look
after the stock. He picked up piece
of rope as he walked across the barn
yard and going into the barn he loop
ed the rope over the low rafter. The
man was just able to stand under the
rafter of the barn and when the rope
was about his neck he was forced to
fall down on his knees in order to
make it taut.
The condition of the floor in the
barn showed that the fellow had sway
ed back and forth in order to kill
himself. Not a sound was heard from
the barn during the lime and later
Daniels went to the barn to see what
the fellow was doing. He had been
dead for half an hour when found.
He had been dead for half an hour
when found. The town chairman was
summoned and Coroner Stanton went
out from Kenosha and brought the
body to Kenosha Sunday night A Jury
was called and it returned verdict in
keeping with the facts in the case.
So far as is known he was unmarried.
He had been ivingyin Michigan up to
a year ago when he came, to Burling-
tor and since that time he had been
working at various farms in Kenosha
and Racine counties. So far no trace
Of his relatives have been found and
the remains are being held pending the
discovery of these people. Men in the
Brighton neighborhood declare that
Weinhard had been respondent for
some time and that he had made sug-
gestions several times that he might
hang himself
The man had been a heavy drinker
for some time and the people who
knew him believe that his condition
was due to the excessive use of liquor.

County Board Orders Add.
ton to Municipal Court
Built at Once.
MAKE BUILDING COMFORTABLE

Kenosha is going to have real
ing the county board authorized the
county agent to proceed at once to the
building of an addition to the old coun-
ty building now used by the municipal
court and with the opening of the new
building season the work will be start
ed. The addition, which will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000, will pro-
vide for a room to be used by the at
torneys, a room for the jurors and san
itary closets for the use of the officials
of the court and for the use of the
general public In addition to this, a
basement will be placed under the new
portion to be built to the north of the
present building and here will be hous-
ed complete hot water heating plant.
The new portion will be 51xl6 feet and
it will be of brick and in keeping with
the remainder of the building. In adj
dition it is planned to provide COW
cred runway from the county jail to
the municipal court for the use of pris-
oners being taken to and from the
court Plans for this work are now be-
ing drawn by Architect Lindl, and the
specifications will be out early in the
new year. The appropriation for the
work was voted this morning.
As soon as the new portion Of the
building is erected the entire building
will be redecorated. It Will be wired
SO that electric lights may be used and
other changes made to make it suit
able home for the municipal court.
While the building is an old one it is
thought with the changes provided for
that it will be suited to the court for
the next ten or fifteen years and that
the necessity of new building will be
Gone away with for that time.
At the session of the board this morn
ING a special committee, composed of
John G. Williams, highway commits
sioner, County Clerk Jones and Super
visors Shuart, Of Bristol, and Kreus-
cher, of Paris, was named to have
charge of the purchase of road ma
chinery for The county. This commit
tee was given full power to decide just

of specialist had recovered consider
ably and was in fairly good health un-

passed away in the evening as peace

She was a deyout and practical
Christian, who had that clearness of
vision, firmness of faith and beauty
of prospect which come to those who
have struggled successfully with life s
trials. The expression of calnlness ON
her features in death spoke of the
beauty and gentleness of her soul
1t is not idle praise to say that she
was a striking example of maternal
devotion. With a cheerful spirit, I'M
firing diligence and gentle counsel she
presided over her household containing
nine children, eight of whom entered
the teaching profession.
She is survived by her husband and

Evelyn Harrington, of Kansas City.
This was the full list of inmates of the
place. The names given by the men
were Gust Schultz, William Ammon,
Alfred Fibert, R. V. Hanson, L. Stare,
all claiming to be from Racine; O. Jen-
sen, 0. Koner and n. Petersen, claim
ing Milwaukee as their homes, and
Frank Schultz, John Ueskwich, c. Mel
son, R. Larsen, M. Bernet, Dave Foley,
R. Krigsman and George Martin, of
Kenosha.
1t was a sleepless night for the men
who had been arrested, but the girls
seemed to take it Just as part of the
business. Frantic efforts were made for
telephone calls to get bail, but the men
at the Jail insisted that the morning
was good enough to look after that mat
ter and all remained in jail.
Threats of revealing some secrets of
protection accorded to the house are
made land it is just possible that the
raid may bring out some real facts IN
regard to conditions in the city.
On Monday the whole party came
into the municipal court and the men
and women alike entered pleas of
guilty before Judge Randall. Each of
the sixteen men were fined ten dollars
and costs, while the women were as
sessed at the rate Of twenty-five dol
lars and costs. The men all paid their
fines but an hour after the hearing was
over the women were still waiting in
the court room while there was trust
ed scout out seeking TO raise the $175
necessary to secure them their liberty.
1t was stated that there was no doubt
but that the fines would be paid. Mrs.
Jewel was not arraigned in the NUM-
cipal court as the warrant under which
she was arrested was a state warrant
returnable before Court Commissioner
Buckmaster. If the woman is convict
ed under the state law it will be neces-
sary for the case to go to the circuit
court and under the law a Jail sentence
with fine of not less than hundred
dollars is the lowest penalty. The
preliminary hearing of the woman was
set for this afternoon.
1t is generally believed that with the
keeper facing state charge that the
days Of the resort are numbered and
that this raid will be the last necessary
for the officials of the city and county.

the sheriff that he never saw the
other man after he ran away from the
Bullamore store, but this is thought to
be false. The other man is supposed
to be somewhere in Milwaukee. 1t is
declared by Milwaukee detectives that
the accused man was a former resi-
dent of that city and that he has a
police record.
Schubatka was arraigned before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
Saturday and waived examination on
