MAKE VOLUNTARY SETTLEMENT
Relatives of William Streek and liver
Carter Will Receive $500 in Full
Settlement of the Claims for the
Death Of the Boys

Kenosha relatives of William Streek
and liver Carter, the two Kenosha boys
who lost their lives in Lake Erie at
the time Of the collision between the
steamers Frank II. Goodyear" and
"James B. Wood" which occurred at
FThunder Bay" on August Goth of
last year, will receive $4,000 from the
steamship companies in settlement of
claims for the death of the boys and
in the county court at Racine this af-
ternoon Judge Heck was asked to grant
an order giving the administrators of
The estates of the two boys power to
settle with the company. The settle
ment provides that $4,000 shall be paid
TO the fathers of each of the boys.
Streek was an engineer on the
steamer Frank H. Goodyear and Car
ter was deck hand on the same boat
Neither Of the boys were of age. and
for this reason the settlement, which
was effected by County Judge George
". Tayor, is regarded as a most ad
vantageous one. Since the accident
]he Gilchrist Transportation company,
)wner of the steamer Goodyear, has
rome into the hands of receivers and
here is some doubt as to whether or
lot it would have been possible to col
ect anything against the company if
he claims went into court.
The two boys were among the list of
more than thirty people who went
Town when the Goodyear and the James
B. Wood collided during fog. Meth
sr body was ever recovered and some
lime after the sinking of the steamers
It was reported that Iver Carter, one
Of the Kenosha boys on board the boat,
had been seen in Detroit, Mich This
report was generally circulated, but
when an investigation was made moth
ing could be found of Carter and the
officials of the company after further
convinced that the boy could not have
escaped death. At the time of the ac-
eident he was in the hold of the steam
er and the evidence showed that all
in this part of the boat were lost.
The members of the Carter family
waited for weeks to hear something
( from the boy and finally a memorial
service was held for him and he was
given up as lost. The officials of the
company owning the steamer have
shown willingness to settle all claims
for death of employees and thus far
not a single action has been started
against the company in court to collect
damages for loss of life. The pilot of
the steamer and all the other officials
went down with the boat and for this
reason the United States officials held
that, it would be almost impossible to
place the responsibility for the acct
dent.
There is no doubt but that the pro-
posed settlements will receive the sane
tion of Judge Heck and that the fami-
lies of the dead boys will receive the
money stated in the petitions for set
Element within few days.

BARTER HOME BURNED.
Home Of Well Known Pleasant Prairie
Farmer Destroyed This Morning.

dIiuCl OCoGLUyGO LID
A disastrous fire occurred on the
farm Of Fred Barter in the town of
Pleasant Prairie just before noon to-
day when flames destroyed the Barter
home, one of the finest houses in the
town, an ice house and a creamery.
The fire started in the ice house, a
short distance from the house, and it
spread with great rapidity. The report
reached Kenosha that it was / ne Lang
er Tavern and the men at the Central
Engine House started with the automo-
bile to aid the rural fire fighters. The
local 6remen made the run to the Bar
ter home in less than eleven minutes.
When they arrived the fire was beyond
control and they realize that it would
be impossible to do anything to save
the house. The fremen aided in the
removal of furniture and every piece
of furniture in the house was saved.
The barn which was just across the
road also was saved. More than
hundred men and women gathered at
the burning buildings eager to save
them, but the water supply was so linn
tied that it was impossible. The loss
will be between eight and ten thousand
dollars, partially covered by insurance.

WANT DOGS MUzzLED
Rabies Among Dogs Causes
Reign of Terror in Some
Parts of the City
SEVERAL TAKING TREATMENTS

Officials of the city are being urged
to consider a new order for the muzZ-
ling of all the dogs in the city and it
is declared that there is reason to be-
lieve that an epidemic of rabies will
break out if some immediate plans are
not taken to keep better tab on the
dogs. People in the south and west
portions of the city at the present
time are living in fear that the dogs
will go mad on account of the fact
that many dogs were bitten by ami
mails which died later. The heads Of
these animals were sent to DR.. Ravenal
at the University of Wisconsin labora-
tory and in at least three cases posi-
tive response for rabies was found.
Albert Karnell is just completing a
series of treatments in the Madison
Pasteur institute and Edna Greenwald,
the three year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Greenwald has just start
ed to Madison to take a similar course
of treatments. Out on the west side
it is declared that there is a woman
threatened with hydrophobia as a re-
suit of her having been bitten by a
dog, but the physicians in attendance
on the woman do not confirm this
report.
The little Greenwald child was bit
ten by dog belonging to Richard B.
Heather who resides near the Green
valid home on South Exchange street.
Later the dog died and its brain was
sent to Madison and the men in charge
of the laboratory found positive signs
of hydrophobia. This dog is alleged to
have bitten a number of dogs in the
Exchange street neighborhood and most
of these dogs have already been killed
by the owners while others have been
sent out into the country and will be
kept under close surveillance for some
time.
Within the past month no less than
a dozen cases of people being bitten
by dogs have been reported to the po-
lice. In most of these cases the dogs
were killed by the police officers.
With the coming of the hot months
of July and August physicians in the
city fear that there may be many
other cases of this sort and for this
reason the officials are being urged to
take steps to provide for muzzling the
dogs until after the warm weather is
over 1t is thought that the spread of
the. rabies among the animals was
started early in March when ten or
twelve people and half score of
dogs were bitten by the Somers dog
which was afterward killed and found
to be suffering from acute rabies.
Some of the dog owners of the city
are bitterly opposed to any plan for
muzzling the dogs while others declare
that they believe that this is the only
way to safeguard the people of the city
during the hot months. Most dog own
ers in the city have already secured
muzzlos for their dogs and the expense
of putting the new order into effect
would be decidedly small.

CARNIVAL COMPANY HARD HIT
One of the Members of the Company
Claims Very Serious Injuries and
Asks $4,000 as Damages from the
Company.

The Chicago and Northwestern Rail.
way company is named as defendant
in suits for damages for personal in
juries aggregating $4,000 in thres
suits filed in the circuit court today
by Calvin Stewart, attorney for en-
ployees of the Cosmopolitan Carnival
Shows.
The suits are brought as result of
a wreck which occurred in Chicago on
last Sunday night when fifteen people
employed by the carnival company suf-
fered more or less injury. To date but
three suits for damages have been filed
but it is understood that other suits
will be filed later. The officials of the
company have made an effort to settle
with the various people injured in the
wreck and some of the number have
already made settlement with the
company.
Mrs. Mary HallyDurton, wife of Ed
gar HALLIBURTON, is the plaintiff in the
first suit fled and she demands dam
ages to the amount of $4,000. The
woman, who is twenty-one years of
age, was riding in one of the passenger
cars when the wreck took place. She
was thrown violently and suffered bad
bruises and internal injuries. Mrs.
Hallyburton was in a critical condi.
ton and she is now at the Hotel Fischer
suffering from her. injuries and the re-
sulting illness and grave fears for her
recovery are entertained. The young
woman just after the accident signed
an agreement to settle with the COM
pany for the sum Of $50, but her at
torneys now assert that her condition
at the time was such that it was i'm
possible for her to understand the nat
ure of the settlement offered by the
company's representatives. The plain
tiff in the second action is Ethel Lamur
who is now in the Kenosha hospital
suffering from internal injuries received
at the time of the wreck Her condi-
ton is not as serious as that of Mrs.
Hallyburton, but it is feared that she
will be forced to remain in the hospital
for many months. Miss Lamur on the
advice of her attorney, Mr.. Stewart,
has declined to make any settlement
with the company. She claims that her
injuries are of permanent nature and
she demands damages to the amount
of $4,000. The plaintiff in the third
action is Charles W. Jessop, a man.
ager of one Of the carnival shows. He
was injured internally and badly bruis.
ed and he declares that his injuries
seem more serious now than they did
at the time of the wreck. He demands
$4,000.
The persons bringing the suits are
all residents of Chicago and it is ex-
pected that the suits will be brought
to trial at the September term of the
circuit court.
In addition to the suits for personal
injuries it is probable that the owners
of the carnival shows will bring suit
against the company for property loss
as a result of the wreck. One of the
big cars of the carnival company was
completely demolished and it is claim
ed that the company had property
loss of several thousand dollars.
Negotiations for a settlement with
the company are now pending in this
case, but it is expected that it will get
into the courts before the settlement
Of satisfactory nature is made.

The people of the city are to be
given a chance to subscribe for the
sewer bonds and the fnanciers cannot
complain in this instance that they
were given no chance to get in on in
vestments originating in their own
city. There is no sentiment in business
but it unquestionably helps the credit
of the city to have some of its bond
issues carried by its own people.
