MRS, EPPERs GETS DECREE.
Judge Randall Grants Decree in Suit
Against Valentine Eppers Monday.

W
In the Municipal court late Monday
afternoon Judge Randall handed down
Judgment granting an interlocutory
decree of divorce to Mrs Carrie Ep-
pers in her suit against Valentine Ep-
pers. The charge was cruel and inhu-
man treatment extending over a long
period. Eppers was not in court but
his interests were represented by At
torney George W. Taylor who stated
that the husband would not oppose the
granting of the decree. Mrs. Eppers
was given the custody Of the minor
Children. Mr.. and Mrs. Eppers have
been married for nearly twenty years
and they are among the best known
people of the town of Pleasant Prairie.
1t was stated that a stipulation had
been made by the parties to the action
for the division of the property which
is valued at about $500. Under this
stipulation the wife takes the property
on the payment of $500 to the husband.
The domestic relations of the Eppers
family have been heard in court on
other occasions and the divorce action
was not surprise to people who were
in close touch with the family.

SEND new PACT TO MADISON
Resolutions Passed at a Special Meet
ing This Afternoon Urge the Pass
age of the Bishop Amendment to
Utility Act

The City Council of Kenosha took
another twist of the legislative tail
this afternoon with view of making
good the franchise ordinance of the
Kenosha Electric Railway company
when the council in special session
passed q resolution urging the legisla-
ture to pass the Bishop bill providing
for the legalizing of the franchise of
the company. The action was taken
at the suggestion of Mayor Scholey
who brought down from Madison re-
solution as long as the moral law
which was supposed to cover every
point at issue in the fight between the
two lighting companies. In the pre-
amble to the resolution it is stated
that the Supreme court has held the
franchise ordinance of the Kenosha
Electric Railway company invalid and
further recites the story Of the con-
test between the railway company and
the Kenosha Gas and Electric company.
It tells of the amount of money spent
by the railway company and the fur
Their fact that the company is now
actually engaged in the business of
supplying light and power in the city.
The meat of the resolution is contained
in the following sections:
Whereas, the city of Kenosha and
its citizens, by reason of their many
years of experience Herewith, are dis
satisfied with the electric service fur
nished and the excessive rates charged
therefor by the Kenosha Gas and Flee

in said company, as the sole utility en-
joying a monopoly of the electric bus
mess in Kenosha, to furnish them ade

rates, and upon extended investigation
and consideration have determined
that it is to the best interest of the

frankie Conley the Kenosha bantam
weight has challenged Johnny Coulon
who defeated him for the championship
at New Orleans on Sunday to another
battle. Conley attributes his defeat to
tho fact that he was forced to make
such a low weight. He declares that
he was forced to take off ten pounds
in Fights days in order to make the
weight limit. He has suggested a fight
at catch weights. It is pretty certain
that Coulon will decline to meet Con-

Wisconsin and Illinois Diyis-
ions of G. & M. E. Will Not
Split Up by Court Order
AGREEMENT HAS Been SIGNED

The Chicago and Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railroad company lines will not
be split up into separate lines.
The final fate of the road as it APP
plies to the north shore and to Ken
osha will be made known when Judge
Peter S. Grosscup now down in Ohio,
returns from his vacation.
Stipulations in regard to the settle
ment of the affairs of the road are now
in circulation among the leading Sc
curity holders and are receiving their
signatures.
According to formal statement
from an authority in Chicago, imme-
ditely after Judge Peter S. Grosscup
signed the order making William o.
Johnson of the Western Trust and
Savings bank the operating receiver
for the road, with the three original re-
ceivers as aides, at once stipulations
for a final settlement of the affairs of
the road were prepared.
These are now being circulated
among the bondsmen who control the
securities of the road. They are sign
ing the paper. When Judge Grosscup
returns from down in Ohio he will cut
the Gordian knot that has tied up the
road indefinitely thus far and settle
every matter connected with it.
The thing in which above all others
North Shore people are interested is
that the road will not be split. The
Illinois branch from Evanston to Wau-
kegan, and the Wisconsin branch, from
Milwaukee to Wankegan, will be pre-
served intact.
This is one of the things on which
Judge Grosscup is to insist, according
to Chicago advices which are reliable.
One Of the stipulations Of the agree
ment which is being circulated is that
all of the security holders shall &C.
cept the Judges decision as final and
! it shall not be contested.
1t was feared that the upshot of the
whole matter would be that the Wis
! consin and Illinois bondsmen would
tear the road to pieces and make two
separate lines Of it. This is not to be.
One Chicago objection at first made
against the appointment of w. 0. John
son as operating receiver was that he
was close man to the Metropolitan
Elevated railroad, and that his appoint
ment meant the entrance of the local
| intorurban to Chicago over new Lo
| gan Square loop to be built by the Met
ropolitan elevated This is affirmed
and denied, but it is known that John
son was chosen for his neutral position
between elevated lines and bond hold
ers and it is believed that he will make
fair and necessary decision for the
| benefits of the north shore. What
ever benefits the north shore is taken
to benefit Chicago also.
! If the Metropolitan elevated does
not get the Chicago privileges of the
Interurban line, then the Northwest.
