CITY MUST PAY.
City Atty. Declares Contract for Sewer
Does Not Include Receiving Well.

City Attorney Calvin Stewart has
fled a written opinion with the city
engineer holding that the receiving
well for the trunk sewer at the corner
of Pleasant street and SeIleck avenue
must be paid for by the city and that
it is not part of the contract between
the city of Kenosha and the Cleary,
White, Newman Company. The city
attorney made this decision after a
careful investigation of the contract,
the specifications and the detailed plans
of the sewer and he declares that he
can find nothing in the specifications
or on the detailed plan which would
provide that the cost of the well be
paid by the contractors. The city en-
gineer has estimated the cost of the
well at $3.50 and it is probable that
the city council will order it built at
the next council meeting. This well
may be built by contract under the
holding of the city attorney that it is
not covered by the contract with the
Cleary, White, Newman Company.

SEE 1.-THE FoRTuNE HUNTER ;

It is not often that we take the liber-
u of advising our readers to go and see
a play, but in the case of "The
Fortune Hunter Winchell Smith S
comedy gem, which is coming to the
Rhode Opera House, Sunday afternoon
and night, Nov. 5th, we do. Hers is a
genuinely amusing comedy which, while
arousing emotions of all that is best in
our nature, teaches moral lesson that
lpeople may learn in an atmosphere of
absolute enjoyment. Lessons learned
while we laugh stick closer sometimes
than the other kind and 'tThe Fortune
Hunter,' is most enjoyable, its theme
pure and clean, while its dialogue fairly
bristles with entertaining chatter.
America has rarely seen so honest a
play, and if Winchell Smith, it's author.
can continue to teach the virtues of
goodness and its value as a guide in
communion with our fellow men. he will
undoubtedly be hailed as the evangelist

Ernest Wuertzberger of Ra-
cine Has Both Feet Filled
with Buck Shot Monday
WAS SHOT BY 4 COMPANION

Ernest Wuertzberger of 1131 Wash
ington avenue, Racine, had both feet
plugged full of buck shot yesterday
afternoon while hunting at Somers, a
gun belonging to companion being
discharged accidentally, and the load
of shot partially striking Wuertzberger
in the feet. He was taken to Racine on
a train, and was then removed in the
ambulance to st. Mary's hospital.
Wuertzberger had a narrow escape
from death, for if the charge of buck
shot had struck few feet higher, it
would have torn, both of his legs off.
That part of the shot that entered the
ground snear Wuertzberger, ripped a
hole nearly foot in diameter, winnie
the remainder entered his feet. :.
Wuertzberger went out Sunday to
visit Al Middlecamp, a friend residing
in the township of Somers. As part
Of The entertainments Middlecamp pro.
posed that they go hunting, a number
of wild ducks having been seen in That
region. So the two of them set out
with their guns.
Arriving at small body of water
they lay in wait for the ducks to ar
rive. A flock soon few near, and the
two hunters lay in the weeds waiting
for the wild fowl to settle. They were
separated about ten feet.
Suddenly a gun shot was heard.
When the smoke cleared away, Mid
dlecamp found Wuertzberger in agony,
with both of his feet filled with shot.
He carried Wuertzberger to the
farm house, only a short distance
away, and then drove him to the Som
ers station, where the injured man
was placed on train and taken to
Racine.
According to reports this morning,
Wuertzborger is resting easily, the
surgeons having been able to pick out
all of the buck shot from his feet.
The wounds received may have per-
manent effect, however

NO APPOINTMENT MADE AS YET
Harry e. Grace Will Probably Con-
tinue as Deputy Oil Inspector Until
After the Civil Service Commission
Sits the Charges Against Him.

Today was the day set for the re-
moval Of Harry E. Grace as deputy oil
inspector for Kenosha county, but At
torney A. E. Ruekmaster, who is repre-
senting Grace in the controversy with
the state department., has received a
letter from State Oil Inspector Louis F.
Meyer in which he states that he is
perfectly willing to permit Grace to
have a hearing before the state civil
service commission. Meyer in his let
ter declares that he will be ready ia
present his charges against Grace at
any time the latter can have a date
set by the commission and Attorney
Buckmaster has notified the commission
and asked that a date be set for the
hearing. 1t is supposed that Grace viii
continue to hold Office until the matter
has been thoroughly threshedi out be
fore the commission. Meyer in his let
ter to the attorney for Grace declared
that there was no doubt but that thf
commission would sustain his action in
the matter, but at that the deputy in
spector is determined to have the com
mission act before he turnes over the
records of his office.
The decision to go before the com
mission will probably have the effect
of slowing up some of the candidates
for the position who have been decid
edly busy ever since it was announced
that graee would be retired from
Office. 1t is now declared that il an
appointment is made Fred Babcock is
OIL the inside track and that he will
probably land the appointment.
Administration leaders in Kenosha
declare that in their opinion tn re is
absolutely no doubt but that Grace will
eventually be removed from the service
in the department. These men do not
give any reason for the removal OF

state inspector says in regard to the
men working under him will go when
the matter comes before the state civil
service commission.
q Grace seems to be resting easy in the
matter and he declares that there is
absolutely nothing that the state de-
partment can bring against him that
would warrant his removal He insists
that all the regulations Of the depart
ment have been enforced in Kenoshs
and that many of them have been en-
forced with a great deal more vigor
than men high in the standing Of the
state department have enforced them
in their districts.

Sousa and His Band.

Sousa and his band is the term used
in announcing the appearance in Ke-
nosha on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 25,
of the organization of sixty musicians
headed and directed by John Philip
Sousa. While the band has won cele-
brity all the world over its conductor
also has gained distinction by his
unique personality, his manner and
method of directing the performance
of his players and by his compositions.
Although Sousa IS fame as composer
has generally been attributed to the
popularity of his marches, serious musi-
clans have found great deal to admire
In the various suites and symphonic
poems that he has written. In addition
to these, he has found time to write
songs and compose nine light operas.
Sousa s latest march is called TtThe
Federal and it will be heard in the
program he has prepared for his concert
in Kenosha.

LOST TW0FINGERs IN ACCIDENT
Thought Train Had Stopped When He
Stepped from the Platform and was
Thrown Under the Car-Escape from
Death Miraculous.

Walter French of East Jordan, Mich,
brother of Mrs. Charles w. Allen and
widely known in Kenosha on account
of his long connection with the n. r.
Allen s Sons Tannery, had a remark
able escape from death just after nine
o CLOCK Tuesday night when he slipped
and fell under train at the station
of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way Company. By rare presence OF
mind Mr.. French prevented his body
from being drawn under the car, but
his left hand was caught ON the rails
and the two first fingers of the hand
were so badly crushed that amputation
at the second joint was found neces-
sary.
Mr.. French had been in Chicago and
accompanied by his nephew, G. G. Allen
he had come to Kenosha on the train
reaching here at % p. m. AS the
train pulled into the city the brakeman
had opened the doors of the car and
Mr.. French was on the platform with
Mr.. Allen ready to leave the train. On
the adjoining track a train was
standing and French believing that this
train and not the one on which be was
riding was in motion stepped off the
steps of the car. AS he stepped from
the bottom step of the car he was
thrown violently to the platform and
he rolled off the platform. There is a
space of less than sixteen inches be,
tween the platform and the rail but
Mr.. French realizing his danger push
ed his body under the platform and
with the aid of a newsboy on the train
who rushed to his assistance he was
able to keep the main portion of his
body from going under the train which
was running at a rate of about thirteen
or fourteen miles an hours.
In his attempt to keep from going
under the train the left hand of Mr..
French struck the rail and two trucks
passed over it before the train could
be brought to stop. AS soon as pos.
sible friends of Mr. French hurried to
the aid of the injured man and with
the aid of the train crew he was pulled
from his perlious position. People who
stood on the platform expected the
man to be pulled out dead, but after
he had been lifted from under the plat
form Mr.. French at once showed that
his injuries were not fatal but blood
was flowing from his hands. He was
taken in carriage to the Allen home
and Doctors P. p. III. Jorgensen and
FL. A. Robinson We're called to attend
him. The fingers were so badly crush
ed as to demand amputation at the
second joint.
Men who witnessed the accident de-
clare that it was nothing less than a
miracle that Mr.. French escaped with
his life. The injured man is a large
man and it seems almost impossible
that he could have rolled to the small
space between the platform and the
tracks without being crushed to death
under the wheels of the train. Members
Of the party insist that there was no
guard placed over the open door and
this fact was largely responsible for
the accident.
