STILL ARE SILENT
Kenosha Heights Anxiously
Awaiting the Coming of
Their Photographs
LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE FAKE

a bunch of people living out in the
neighborhood of Kenosha Heights are
anxiously awaiting the return of man
who recently made trip through the
territory and who managed to get
away with whole lot of easy money if
reports brought in are authentic. The
man was clever talker and he made
the round of every house in the district
offering to give monograph valued at
$50 with a years subscription to the
newspaper The stipulation was that
the person subscribing must pay FIVE
dollars in cash and it is claimed that
no less than score of people gave up
their five dollar bills as a result of the
single day work of the man. The
monographs have not as yet arrived
and the local circulators for the paper
in question declare that the paper has
not offered any such premium and that
no contracts are being written with a
photograph as premium. Anxious
residents have sent letters galore to the
paper in question today but it is GER
tain that they are doomed to dis
appointment. The men who worked the
scheme were clever as week or two
ago the bona fide agents for the same
paper were working in Kenosha and
took large number of subscriptions.
However, the circulators for the paper
in question do not go out as far as
KenosFa Heights and for this reason no
contracts were written in that portion
of the city. Nor is that all An inves-
tigation indicates that similar plans
were worked at Waukegan only short
time ago and the men got away with it
there just like they did at Kenosha
Heights.

the blast. And in both Wisconsin and
Illinois bills have been introduced in
the State Legislatures looking towards
the more strict regulation and control
of powder mills and other places where
great quantities of high explosives are
stored.
What seems to be needed is a law
backed by competent and honest in
spection-which will prevent the ac-
emulation and storage in single To-
cation of any such tremendous amount
of blasting powder as a thousand tons.
AS well live on the crest of live
volcano as within fifty miles of such
a potential and ever-ready earthquake.

GET HANSON WOMAN.
Woman Alleged to Have Eloped is in
Custody in City in Iowa.

Woman Alleged to Have Eloped is in
Custody in City in Iowa.
Mrs. Marie Swenson Hanson, wife
of Hans Hanson of Elizabeth street,
who is alleged to have eloped from
Kenosha on last Saturday in company
with Edward Murray, is under arrest
at Buffalo Center, Iowa, and Chief Of
Police O'Hare received a telegram
from Chief c. w. Gakegan of that city
this morning asking what disposition
should be made of the woman. Murray
was not apprehended in the Iowa city,
but Chief Hare sent back a message
to the police there asking that they
make an effort to secure his arrest. It
is claimed that Murray is not in Buff
falo Center and Mrs. Hanson has re-
fused to make any statement in re-
gard to the case AS yet no formal
warrant has been issued for the az
rest of the woman, but it is expected
that a warrant will be issued later in
the day and that Chief O'Hare will go
to Iowa to bring the woman back
to Kenosha. It is claimed that both
the woman and Murray had friends in
Iowa and this led the police to ask
the officials there to keep a strict watch
for her.

Men Who Investigated Death
of Louis Nielsen Unable to
Agree Upon a Verdict
WAS SEEN LATE WEDNESDAY

The coroner jury called to examine
into the death of Louis Nielsen, well
known Main street liquor dealer, ad
journed late Friday evening with
out reaching verdict and the investi-
cation into the case is to be continu
ed by District Attorney Henry j. Hast
ings, who conducted the inquest. Dis
trict Attorney Hastings expressed the
belief that the death of Nielsen was
accidental, but the members Of the jury
after making a trip to the place where
the body was found and after discov-
ering some new evidence were inclined
to credit the theory that Nielsen came
to his death through foul play. The
evidence at the, inquest was far from
convincing and Mate Friday after
noon the jurors decided to make trip
along the lake to the place where the
body was found. In making this trip
they met William II. Moore who re-
sides south of the city on Park avenue
and Moore declared to them that he
had seen Nielsen just before five
o clock Wednesday evening walking
along Park avenue just east of the
Kenosha City cemetery. At that time
there were no wounds on the man s
fa"e and he seemed to be walking as
if he had a purpose in view. AS Mel
sens watch stopped just after six
C clock it is thought that he met his
death at that time.
The testimony of the physicians who
made the examination Of the body in
Dictated that all the wounds on the head
and face Of Nielsen were ante-mortem,
but it was declared that none of these
wounds was sufficient to cause death.
Efforts were made to show that Mel
sen received these wounds by falling
from the breakwater into the bed of
stone between the two piles, but as
he was seen by Moore at the time
indicated it is thought certain that he
did not 60 near the breakwater and
there is no breakwater along the place
where the body was found. The rela-
tives and business associates of Mel
sen can assign no cause for his going
south along Park avenue on Wednes-
day afternoon and SO far as can be
learned he had no friends along Park
avenue south of the city. At the in
quest it was shown that Nielsen had
a considerable sum of money in the
bank and several thousands Of dollars
worth of. property in the city. 1t is
not thought, however, that he had any
large amount of money on his person
at the time of his disappearance.
Coroner Stanton when seen today
declared that he had not fully made
up his mind in regard to the case.
There are some people who believe.
that Nielsen was a suicide and went
to this out of the way place with the
expectation that his body would be
carried out into the lake and never
found However, it is hard to account
for the ante-mortem wounds if this
theory is accepted as a solution of
the mystery.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
To Utilize Used Cars for the Manu-
facbure of Delivery Trucks.

A new departure in the sale of sec
ond-hand motor cars, and one which is
quite likely to be initiated by other
makers of high quality cars, has lust
been introduced by the Thomas B. JEFF
ferry company, makers of the Rambler,
in placing on the market line of used
cars which have been converted for de-
livery service.
1t has long been a problem with mo-
tor car manufacturers to find a suitable
market for ears which had been sub
Jected to but few thousand miles of
service in the hands of the first owner.
The Rambler people have this year
taken in exchange, from owners who
have purchased the 1911 Rambler, a
few used cars which are in excellent
condition. Many of these cars have
been taken apart, cleaned, worn parts
replaced and the entire car rebuilt. re-
adjusted and reprinted to be sold as
pleasure cars. But the latest idea is
the equipment of the GLASSES of some
of these used cars with delivery bodies
for the use of contractors, builders.
merchants, laundry men and others who
need a conveyance of this character.
The move has proved very popular
and some of these cars are being offer
ed for sale in this city.

HOPE TO COMPLETE THIS YEAR
Several Sites are Being Considered
and Stock Company Will be Formed
to Furnish Funds for the Project
Outlook is Bright

Members of the Catholic Order of
Foresters in Kenosha are going to
have home of their own and at the
meeting of Heiss Court, No. 159, held
on Wednesday evening the big move
ment for the erection of home for
the court was started and a commit
tee is now busy at work canvassing
the members of the court to secure
the funds necessary for the project.
AS yet the plans have not been ma
tured and the amount to be expended
in the erection of the new building
will depend entirely on the manner in
which the members support the pro-
ject. Heiss Court has been organized
for more than twenty years and it has
a membership of more than three
hundred including all the leading men
of st. George church. The court has
been one of the most active in the
order in the state and for several
years the members have felt the need
of suitable home. Several times
plans have been made toward this end
but this time it is pretty certain that
the plans will be carried to a success
full conclusion. John Zens has been
named chairman of the committee So
letting funds for the home.
The plan that has met with the
sanction of the court provides for the
organization of stock company with
the understanding that all of the
stock shall be held among the mem
bers of the order in Kenosha. The
proposed building will not cost less
than twenty thousand dollars and it is
possible that nearly double this sum
will be expended. Several sites are
being considered for the building but
no announcement Of the location Of
them will be made until after formal
action has been taken for the sale of
the stock and the committee in charge
able for the purchase of the site and
for the erection of the building.
When the building is erected it will
contain rooms for the use of the court
and possibly store rooms. The com
mittee/has worked on several plans
and the one that is most favored pro
vides for the erection of buildino
which will at least in part be self sup
porting.
Alderman N. J. Werner of the
Seventh ward is Chief Ranger of
Heiss Court and when seen today he
said: "We can not at this time an
nounce the plans in regard to the new
building. The committee will start
work soliciting funds today and the
maturing Of our plans will depend
largely on the financial aid given to
the undertaking. I feel convinced that
with such splendid body of men the
committee will have little tronble in
securing the money necessary for the
building of home which will be a
credit to the order and to the city of
Kenosha. AS it will be the first home
erected by a Forester organization in
Kenosha we naturally feel a pride in
making it one of the best owned by
courts of the order in the state. It
will be several weeks before we will
be able to announce definitely our
plans for building, but we are hopeful
of erecting the new building before
the end of the present building sea

KILL MAD DOG IN soMERs.
Dog Suffering With the Rabies is Kill
ed Near the Tennessen Farm.

ed Near the Tennessen Farm.
The people of the town of Somers
had little mad dog scare all by them
selves on Friday afternoon when a
mad dog made trip through the north
end of the town and caused consterna-
tion. The dog snapped at several child
rem and bit two dogs on the Tennessen
farm, but it is claimed that none of
the children was bitten. The farm
ers got out with shot guns and finally
cornered the animal and killed it. It
is thought possible that the dog was
one of the dogs bitten by the Hartung
dog some two months ago. A close
watch is being kept on all the dogs in
Somers and they are being slaughtered
just as fast as they show any signs of
development Of hydrophobia.

KEICHERT SAYS MISTAKE

Figured on a Two Instead of Four Ring
Brick Sewer When he Gave Bid.
n. j. Reichert of Racine, who had
the lowest bid for the construction of
the trunk sewer when the bids were
opened on last Saturday, has sent
no word as. to his probable action, to
the city engineer, but Racine con
tractors in Kenosha today declared
that Roichert admits that he made a
vital mistake in figuring the cost of the
sewer. 1t is declared that he figured
on a two ring instead of a four ring
brick sewer. This would of course
mean great reduction on the cost
of the material and the work.

ANOTHER PROTEST
Further Objections to Granting Of
Third Class License

'
Third Class License
| am glad that there are a few hon
ored Christian people in Bennington
who are willing to appear at the bal
lot box in opposition to licensing the
sale of intoxicating liquor, and in pub
lie print as opposed to granting a Bird
class license Perhaps it may be use
less, but | desire to record my solemn
protest against the granting OF any
kind of a license for the sale of intox-
icating liquor in Bennington.
A majority of our legal voters have
no moral right to do, or TO suffer a
wrong to be done, and the legalizing
of the liquor traffic in no way lessons
its influence for evil, but increases
it, 1t seems to me that the people
Of Bennington ought to have more
pride in our old historic town than
to allow it to remain the only large
town in our state which has always
voted for license, and to allow eight
cancerous saloons to do their hellish
work. Why do we do it? Is 1t for
money? Are we bribed to sell our
good principles and our honor for
$4,000 year, and thereby become
partners in the profits of, and respon.
sible for the evils of the business? For
economic reasons our attitude should
be that of uncompromising hostility
to the liquor traffic.
