ITALIAN KILLED NEAR SOMERS
William Hall, Long Watchman fol
the Knickerbocker Ice Company
Meets Death on the Wisconsin Cen.
trail Near Trevor.
(From Tuesdays Daily


Two fatal rail accidents have oc.
Cured in Kenosha county within the
last twentyfour hours and Coroner
Stanton and his assistants have been
busy looking into the accidents. Late
Monday afternoon Paul Petit, an
Italian, So years of age, was ground
to death by fast passenger train
mile south Of the village of Somers
on the tracks of the Chicago and St.
Paul road and just after seven clock
this morning William Hall, an elderly
man, employed by the Knickerbocker
Ice company at Camp Lake, was run
down and killed by passenger train
on the Wisconsin Central a half mile
from Trevor
The killing of Petit was a particular
ly exciting accident. Petit was a mem
Der of large force of section men
at work on the st. Paul tracks near
the village of Somers. With a COM
panion, William Young he had been
working some distance from the
other members of the party. A freight
train from the south had lust passed
the point where The men were working
When passenger train came from. the
north. The foreman of the gang fearing
an accident on account of the passing
OF the trains shouted to the men to
get out of the way. Neither of them
paid any attention to the order and
Petit was standing directly in front
Of the fast train when he was strucL
and instantly killed. Young saw the
train just in time(and jumped into the
vacant space between the freight and
the passenger. He missed death by the
narrowest of margins. The body of
Petit was taken to Somers station and
Coroner Stanton notified He took a
jury to view the remains after which
they were brought to Kenosha. The
inquest is being he'd at the Mischief
and Stanton parlors this afternoon
The accident at Trevor occurred lust
after seven O'Clock this morning and
the victim, William Hall, had been at
work during the night as a Waterman
at the ice houses Of the Knickerbocker
company at Camp Lake. He had start
ed from Camp Lake to walk to his
home at Trevor with the opening of
the ice house this morning and had
gone about half the distance when he
met his death. He was walking along
the track with his back to the an.
preaching train and it is thought that
he failed 10 hear the train Ia time to
escape. The engineer sounded a warn
ing whistle, but the man walked on
just as if he had heard nothing The
body was taken to Trevor and Justice
Evans called a jury to hear the evil
dence in the case. Hall was about fifty
five years of age and had been en-
ployed by tne ice company for long
time. 1t is thought that tie members
of his family reside in Chicago. There
were no witnesses to the accident save
the men on the engine of the train
and they declared that they did all in
their power to get the old man to
leave the track but failed.

TAKE BEST FEASIBLE ROUTE
Council Will be Asked to Grant Rights
for Three Different Routes and Com
pany viii Elect Later Which to
Take.

The engineers of the henosha Elec
trio Railway company, are busy outlin-
ing the route to be proposed for the
new extensions of the lines of the com
pany to the suburban districts to the
west and south of the city id it is
expected that the franchise ordinance
will be presented to the city within a
short time. Much of the lines propos-
ed will be outside of the city and to
secure a right of way for these lines
the company will be forced to apply
to the town boards of Pleasant Prairie
and Somers. However as the property
owners are very anxious to secure the
building of the lines it is not thought
that the town boards will make any
objections to the grant.
The company is working on three
tentative routes with the understand
ing that the council will grant all Of
the routes with right for the com
pany to select the best possible route
when the plans for the extensions are
finally worked out. The right to streets
not taken in the final route of the
company will revert to the city.
The plans for the route provide for
lines to the Goldberg, Heating and
Crook subdivisions and it will be ar
ranged in the shape of loop connect
ing on the north with the lines on
Grand avenue and on the south with
the lines on Elizabeth street 1t has
been suggested that Rice Park be in
cluded in the plans for the extension
and it is probable that this idea will
be taken up if a plan can be found
to run to the loopnort before it turns
to run the loop north before it turns
west and south.
The engineers have been over the
various subdivisions affected by the
plans and they feel certain that they
can work out line that will provide
service for several thousand people now
out OF reach of the street car line
Manager Loughridge declared this
morning that the plans of the com
pany were not as yet in condition to
outline the route to be proposed, but
that the routes selected would include
all available routes and that the com
pany would have to select from these.
There is Of course no idea of building
the loop this year, but the managers OF
the company hope to complete it dur
ing 1912.
In addition to this ordinance the
company will have an ordinance to
clear up their title to Elizabeth street
as railway street 1t is now closed
by court suits and it is thought that
the best way out of these difficulties is
Ito have the council pass an ordinance
which will make their rights secure
The company is planning to proceed at
once with the paving of the street as
the officials have been assured that the
council will grant any reasonable
franchise ordinance providing for the
route on Elizabeth street.

FIND ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
ccronor's Jury Gets Little Evidence O..
the Death of Paul Petit at somers.

Coroner II. J. Stanton and a jury in
vestigated the death of Paul Petit.
killed on train near Somers on Tues
day afternoon ana verdict of acct
dental death was returned. Peter Pet
ii, brother of the dead man, was
present at the inquest and arranged for
the burial of the body at st. George
cemetery this motnlng. The evidence
brought out the fact that the foreman
in charge of work ON the section had
shouted warning to Petit, but he had
either not heard the Warning or had
paid no attention to it. The man was
unmarried and his brother, who resides
in Chicago, was his only relative in
this country. It is probable that the
railway company VIII arrange to paw
all the expenses OF burying the I'M
fortunate workman
