Auto Belonging to Fred Head
Collides With Sand Pile at
Mayors PlaceofBusine
MAYOR TAKES HAND AND LOSES

An automobile belonging to Fred S.
Head of Russell, ILL.,, was badly dam
aged and Mr.. Head himself was slight
ly injured Thursday night when the
car ran into pile of sand and build
ing material in front of the building of
the Fortune Brothers Brewing company
occupied by Mayor Scholey on West
Market street. It is claimed that the
pile of material was not properly pro
tected with lights. Mayor Scholey was
on the scene of the accident short
time after the car had been disabled
and engaged in wordy war with
Clyde Ellis who had been sent out from
the Kent garage to bring in the dis
abled car. The Mayor insisted in
words profoundly deep that the car
had not struck the sand pile and when
Ellis offered to bet good American
money that the Mayor didn' It ow
what he was talking about he was
threatened with arrest and for time
it looked as If he might be forced to
spend the night in Jail for disagreeing
with the Mayor. However the matter
was fixed up and Ellis was kept out
Of Jail and no charges were brought
against him in the municipal court.
Head was running along Market street
and the sand pile was covered with
snow and appeared to be snow drift.
The automobile struck the sand pile
and Head was thrown up against the
wind shield. The front axle of the
automobile was broken off and some of
the mechanism of the car was broken.
The damage to the automobile will ex-
coed 800 and it is probable that the
city will be called upon to make some
settlement for the accident.
Automobile drivers today are pro
testing loudly on account of the con
dition of number Of the streets of the
city where building material has been
left on the streets and it is claimed
that these piles covered with snow can
not but cause trouble for drivers. Eliza
beth street is especially bad and it is
feared that several bad accidents will
happen on this street if the city does
not take some steps to put the street
in better condition.

BOWS OF CAR SAVE OCCUPANTS
Auto Containing Arthur Gardiner, Pet
er Gales, John sherrer and John
Sherrer, Jr, Leaves Road in Salem
Thursday Night.


The narrow Salem road between An
tioch and Wilmot came near resulting
in another tragedy just after ten
O'Clock Thursday night when an auto
mobile driven by Arthur Gardiner and
having for its passengers Peter GALES,
John Sherrer and John Sherrer, Jr.,
went over the embankment at almost
the identical point where the accident
occurred a little over year ago which
resulted in the death of Harvey Gibson
and the serious injury of Edward Col
lier and Mrs. Arthur Gardiner. The
second Kenosha party to meet disas-
ter on the marrow road Jared better
for in some miraculous manner the
men escaped from under the damaged
car and none of them was seriously
injured. The party had spent the even
ing at Antioch, Ill.,, with relatives Of
Mr.. Gardiner and had started home an
hour before the accident occurred. Mr..
Gardiner was at the wheel himself and
feeling his way along through the
storm the automobile was being run
at a snails pace in order to avoid the
possibility Of accident along the mar
row roadway. The trip had been made
without incident to the spot of the for
mer accident and the road was so drift
ed with snow that the men shuddered
as they started along this piece of the
road. At almost the very spot that
Gibson was killed the car went over
the embankment and before it had
been stopped it had gone more than
thirty feet from the road. The car
turned over on it's side but fortunately
it struck on the top and the bows of
the top managed to hold it from falling
to the bottom of the ditch at the side
of the road. Gardiner was pinned in
by the steering wheel but the other
men crawled out of the overturned car
and managed to roll to the bottom of
the ditch and later Gardiner was re-
leased. Mr.. Gales was the only one
of the men to suffer injury and his in
jury was limited to badly sprained
wrist. The members of the party went
to the nearest farm house and tele-
phoned to Kenosha and relief party
headed by Claude Barnes was made up
and went out to the scene of the acct
dent The car was pulled back on
the road and it was found that it was
not seriously damaged. The members
of the party reached Kenosha just af-
ter midnight and there was decided
feeling of congratulation among the
men for their narrow escape. Had the
car been running at a high rate Of
speed there is little doubt but that it
would have turned turtle and that all
the men who were in it would have
been seriously if not fatally injured.

There is not likely to be any dis
position to challenge the correctness of
the census figures in Kenosha but any
one who has any knowledge of the con-
ditions in this city knows that they are
much more apt to be under than over
the mark. The enumerators did the
best they could in the wards having a
large foreign born population but they
must have missed great many of this
class. The minute anything in the
nature of an official inquiry is started!
a big percentage of these people "hide
out" somewhere and it is almost an
impossibility to get at them and there
is every reason to believe they followed
their usual custom while the census
enumerators were going the rounds.

ARE BEING M|SUSED
Members of Co. Judges Assn.
Informed Insane Patients
are Being Mistreated
CALLS FOR AN INVESTIGATION

Judges of the several county courts
of Wisconsin in session at Milwaukee
were startled when Judge j. B. Simp.
son of Lafayette, declared that insane
patients committed to the asylum at
Mendoza were being mistreated and
that he had made personal investi-
cation with the result that he had OBJ
served black and blue marks on the
bodies of persons whom he had ordered
committed to the state asylum.
Judge Simpson demanded that the
Wisconsin County Judges association
take some action leading to a formal
inquiry into the management of the
Mendoza hospital but his demands were
refused and Judge Simpson was in
formed that the proper tribunal to in
vestigate such charges was the state
board of control.
AT the annual meeting of the asso-
citation discussions covered a wide
range but it seemed to be the general
opinion that the laws of Wisconsin,
particularly with reference to probate
and Inheritance tax laws, are fairly
satisfactory in their present workings.
The greater part of the day was de-
voted to the discussion of the inheri-
lance tax law. Many inclined to the
view that the law should be more
stringent, especially in regard to the
transfer of property before death.
Judge A. G.. Zimmerman Of Dane.
who is regarded as the father of the
Wisconsin inheritance tax law, ex-
pressed the opinion chat the good
faith of wealthy men who distribute
their money among their children be-
fore death was a question of fact to
be decided in each case. The GEN
eral health of the person, his DISPOSE
ton and other purely personal consid-
erations should enter into the decision.
according to Judge Zimmerman.
President Conway was authorized
to appoint a committee of five to ap.
pear before the Legislature during the
coming session in support of such
measures as the association NAV de-
eide are necessary. Among suggested
changes in the law was an amendment
to the present statute regarding the
rights of widows 70 household goods.
Judge II. Kreis of Outagamie urged
that the exempt property limit for
widows should be raised from $3.50 to
$4,000.
A law was advocated permitting the
attorney general to examine safety de
posit vaults of deceased residents of
the state as well as non-residents
More stringent regulations touching
the assessment of taxes against the
corporate stock of nonresident decd
ents also were suggested.

ALL ARE DISCHARGED.
Judge Randall Fails to Hold Foreign

The eight Kenosha foreigners arrest
ed a week ago on charge of extorting
money from Joseph Weinberg of Du-
luth will not be forced to stand trial
on the charges against them as after
an all day of taking testimony Judge
Randall late Thursday afternoon hand

the men from custody. It was case
of eight to one for while Weinberg S
evidence indicated that the men had Sc
cured money from him through threats
the evidence of each of the defendants
showed that no threats had been used.

presented by Weinberg have declared
that the matter will not be dropped

Billy Ellison of Kenosha has signed
articles for a ten round bout with
Young Mahoney of Racine, the fight to
be pulled off under the auspices of the

latter part of this month or the first
of February. Ellison has been in train
ing for weeks and it is declared that
when he enters the ring with Mahoney
he will be in better condition than he
has been in his fighting career and
there are a lot of people who believe
that he will be able to take the measure

satisfactory place for boxing shows.

that they can give them where they
