SEEK WESTERN HOMES
Colony Being Organized in
Kenosha to Secure Gov
e1nment Lands.
TEN FAMILIES TO GO WEST

Ten Kenosha families are planning
to shake the dirt of Kenosha from
their feet in the near future and go
to the far west to seek homes on farms
in Montana and representatives of
the colony will leave this evening for
Montana to take part in the sale of
government lands which opens at Bill
lings on next Tuesday. The members
of the families have carefully consid-
cred the plan and they are ready to
leave for the far west just as soon as
they can secure the land from the
government and prepare for the cree
tion of homes The land to be sold is
part of the Crow reservation and it
is offered by the government at rate
of dollar and half an acre. The
purchasers of the land will be forced
to pay one-fourth of the amount at
the time the land is staked out for
them and the remainder may be paid
in three annual payments. The Ke-
nosha men will take over large
tract of the land if it is possible to
purchase it and it is expected that
many other families from Kenosha
will go to Montana later. The people
are for the most part from the Sean
dinavians in the city and these people
will be able to pay cash for the land
when the deeds are turned over by the
government agents.
There is no string tied to these
sales of government lands and no resi-
dence on the part of the, purchasers
is required. 1t is said that the land
is one of the most fertile tracts in the
Montana reservations and some of it
has already been irrigated by the
government. It is expected that the
Kenosha colony will leave for Mon
tana about the first OF January.

Peculiar Case Friday Afternoon.

Nick Ferentino, an Italian was
brought before Judge Randall on Fri
day afternoon charged with assault
and battery. It was alleged that
Nick with the aid of his brother,

vicious assault on Mrs. Nick Feren-
tino. The trouble arose when the
wife objected to her husband going
with his brother and his wife to a
theatre. Both of the men are said to
have had q part in the chastisement
of Mrs. Ferentino. It is evident that
tn e beating brought results as Mrs.
Ferentino was very centric in court
and asked the court to release her
husband. The court failed to see it
that way and assessed fine of S.
and costs Of the action. The brother
is to be in court this afternoon.

MACHINES MAY Be ABANDONED
People Will Probably Return to Old
Plan of Voting on Paper Ballots for
all ces.-District Attorney Asked
to Make Final Decision in Matter.

County Clerk Russell TEL. Jones this
morning received from the attorney
general the formal opinion in regard to
the use of voting machines at the CON-
ing National election and it now looks
very probable that the people of Ken
osha will turn their backs on progress
and return to the old form of voting on
paper ballots and that the machines
which have been used with success in
the city will be thrown into the discard
so far as this election is concerned. The
opinion of the Attorney General covers
some ten pages of typewriter matter
and the one thing that it makes very
plain is that the presidential candidates
names must appear on blue paper bal
lot and must be voted only on this sort
of ballot. It also shows that the
question of the women voting must be
submitted on a pink paper ballot. The
Attorney Genaral has cleared up one
trouble and that is in regard to the
state ballot and constitutional amend
ments going on the machine. He holds
that these may be voted on the ma
chimes but it is not necessary to use the
machines to carry out the law. In this
ruling he has reversed his former rul-
ing in which he held that there could
not be both machine and ballot voting
County Clerk Jones laid the whole
matter before District Attorney II. J..
Hastings and asked him to render an
opinion as to what shall be done.
In his opinion the Attorney General
puts lot of stress on the separation
Of the state and presidential ballots
and the fact that the question of stuff
rage must not be on the same ballot
with the other questions.
County Clerk Jones said this morn
ing Gas things look now we may de-
eide not to use the machines at all but
w PlCPCtlO OLO OISt-4c1oAlUuOu Od4IUbo LII
the use in both the city wards and the
rural towns. This seems to be the
only solution that will be considered
fair to every one. Of course this plan
will make lot of trouble for the men
in charge Of the polls and the people
would be forced to wait to get the re
suits of the election but even if the
people have to wait for the returns we
want to be as fair as possible to all
interested in the outcome of the cleo
ton"
Candidates have said lot of things
in regard to the new rule but most Of
these things would be unfit for pull
cation in a paper published for gen
eral circulation. One thing is certain
and that is that there will be some
changes in the election laws when the
next assembly and senate meets in Mad
ison.
