HAS STRANGE MENTAL LAPSE
Man Is Committed to State Hospital as
Charge of State and Can Give no
Account of Wanderings or Loss of
His Property Formerly Well Known.

Andrew. Hansen, aged 43 years, and
one time one Of the best known Dan
ish residents Of Kenosha, was adiudi-
Gated insane by Judge George W. Tay-
lor in the county court Monday after
noon and committed as a charge of
the state to the Northern hospital at
Winnebago. lie will be taken to the
hospital Wednesday. The case Of Han
sen is one of the most unusual in the
history or the records of the county
court. Five years ago Hansen was re-
garded as one of the wealthiest Danes
Of Kenosha and in the five years his
money and property have been lost and
he seems to be able to give absolutely
no facts as to the manner in which the
property was dissipated. Hansen owned
real estate in both Racine and Kenosha
and had money in the bank to the
amount of more than $4,000 when he
was active in Kenosha five years ago.
AT that time he showed signs Of fail
ling mentality and suffered from delus-
ions. He disappeared from Kenosha and
was missing for two years and during
this time be managed to conceal his
whereabouts from his friends and rela-
tives, although every possible effort
was made to locate him. When he re-
turned to Kenosha he had the appear
anceSof tramp and although he knew
his former friends he could give no
connected story Of row he mad passed
the two years or what had become of
his property. The property had been
signed away and while Hansen must
have received considerable money for
it he had aothing to show. At that time
friends sought to have him examined
for his sanity and while the prelimin-
aries were being arranged Hansen
again disappeared. Later he was heard
from at Wausau and Schennington, but
at both places he was in the guise of
Q wanderer and finally the Kenosha peo-
pie lost all trace of him. He appeared
here only few days ago and was with
out money or property. His friends,
feeling certain that his condition had
made it possible for people to take his
property from him, at once sought to
have him committed to one of the state
institutions. Hansen is still uncommuni-
catiye and he could give no informa-
tion that will solve the mystery in re-
gard to his life during the five years.
On other topics he seems to be perfect
" sane, but when the matter of his
past life is brought up he simply smiles
and refuses to make any statement. He
has however, declared that he cannot
remember anything that has happened
since he left Kenosha. The lapse of
memory is a strange one and it cannot
be accounted for by the physicians. The
friends of Hansen are hopeful that
treatment for several months may re-
suit in lis reason being restored to
him.

HITS CATTLE TESTS
State Veterinarians Are OPP
posed to Present State
Inspection.
UNFRAMED men MAKE TESTS

The Wisconsin Veterinary Society
has gone on record as being opposed
to the manner in which the state is
carrying out the provisions for the test
ing of cattle for tuberculosis and at
the annual convention held in Milwau-
kee last week the Veterinarians adopt
| ed resolutions showing their position
i'll the matter. The resolutions which
were adopted by 8, Unanimous vote
are as follows:
Whereas, The United States Live
Stock Sanitary Association at its Chi
cage meeting, Dee. 18th and 9th, last
adopted the following resolutions
That this association places itself on
record as misunderstanding the action
of any state board which shall emplay
or empower any one to apply this
/ (tuberculin) test officially who is not
a thoroughly competent and qualified
veterinarian, and
Whereas, This resolution must have
applied to the Wisconsin, Live Stock
Sanitary Board as Wisconsin is the
only state where such practice is al
lowed, and
Whereas, This loose method of test
ing cattle gave 1882 per cent Of error
resulting in the useless slaughter Of
thousands of dollars worth Of healthy
cattle from July /, 1910 to July /,
4 1911, and
Whereas, The administration from
July !, to November /, 1911, discon-
tinued allowing any other than quail.
fed veterinarians to apply the test
thereby reducing the error to 81 per
cent, in spite OF which the Wisconsin
State Live Stock Sanitary Board on
December 2, l911, reverted to the en-
roneous tests by the laity.
Therefore be it Resolved by the Wis
consin State Veterinary Society in
convention assembled at the city Of
milwaukee, this 10th day OF February,
1912, that we, the representatives Of
the veterinary profession of Wisconsin,
tdisapprove of the action of the Wis
consin Live Stock Sanitary Board and
pledge our allegiance to the United
States Live Stock Sanitary Associa-
ton, in it's efforts to check the in
crease of tuberculosis and further
] pledge our support of any measure
! looking to the adoption Of practices
in Wisconsin which shall harmonic
with the views of the United States
Live Stock Sanitary Association.

Monday was the, quietest day the
city has seen in some years. The
streets were deserted all day and the
man with the. snow shovel was the
only party who had much business to
attend to- The most satisfactory
thing abols the blizzard was the out
come Of the test given the motor fire
truck for it demonstrated the abso
lutte reliability Of the motor driven
fire apparatus under the most adverse
conditions. The machine is never like
ly to have severer test thar it got
Monday and it performed splendidly
to the great satisfaction of Chief Iser-
mann who from the first has pinned his
faith to motor apparatus. The truck
plowed through the streets from one
end of the city to the other at high
speed and without a Stop where it
would have been almost impossible for
horse drawn apparatus to move at all.

FINDS WAY TO THE HOSPITAL
Returns Home With Broken Nose and
Six ssnunctures' in His Scalp, but is
Full Of Fight and Will Return to Mil
waukee and Get His ASSISTANTS.

Deputy Game Warden Michael Kliest
is confined TO his home on North Main
street suffering, as he puts it, from SIX
pupctures of the head, Z IS result of
q bitter contest with bunch of Greeks
IN Milwaukee Monday morning The
Kenosha warden bore the brunt of one
of the bitterest battles ever waged
against the men Of the game warden S
department in the state, and when the
battle was over he was taken to the
emergency hospital in Milwaukee, where
his wounds were dressed, and later he
was sent to his home in this city. Kliest,
while terribly bruised, is not dangerous
ly injured and he was able to be about
the house today. He admitted that he
was suffering considerably but all the
fight is left in him and Just as soon as
the wounds heal he will be back Ill
Milwaukee and after his assailants
Kliest and two other members of the
state department had gone to Milwau-
kee to make Investigations of viola
t1ons OF the game laws and these in
took them to place on the
north side of the city, which is known
as one Of the SsGreek colonies.'' The
officials had no more than started their
operations when they were attacked by
IA mob Of eighteen or twenty Greeks
and the men used paving bricks as their
weapons The two officials who were
with Kliest managed to get away with
out serious injury, but Kliest was left
to bear the brunt of the battle. He
bore it bravely and before he was over
powered by the mob he managed to
knock two Of the Greeks over. When
he came to his senses after the assault
he found himself practically covered
with paving bricks. His nose was brok-
en- and he had half dozen wounds in
his head from which the blood was
flowing freely. He managed to make
his way to street car and went to the
hospital, where he had his wounds
dressed and then communicated with
the police department, but up to noon
today no arrests had been made in the
case. 1t is understood that the, other
two deputies escaped without serious
injury, but Kliest has not been able to
get any trace Of them since the attack
by the mob. It seems that Kliest was
inside building when the trouble start
ed and there was no way for him to
reach the other deputies, WHO had re-
manned outside, but to fight his way
through the mob Of Greeks When he
finally emerged from the building he
was greeted with shower of paving
bricks.
The Kenosha warden was not in con-
dition to go into the details of the
case this afternoon after his return to
Kenosha but the facts in the case have
been laid before the state game warden
and it is pretty certain that the state
will see that the men who were re-
sponsible for the assault are arrested
and prosecuted Warden Kliest de-
clines to give out the facts in regard to
the raid planned by the deputies, de,
elaring that these facts are confidential
with the department. He will probably
be laid up for another week and will
bear the marks Of the battle for many
months.

Monday was the last day for the
payment of taxes and hundreds of
property owners who Put off their pay
ments until the last possible moment
who were prevented from reaching the
office of the treasurer by the storm
now find themselves delinquent. It
is probable, however, that under the
circumstances a little leeway will be
allowed even if it is not strictly in
keeping with the demands of the law
and that property owners who get
their money to the treasurer office
at once can get their receipts without
any extra charge for costs and inter-
est being assessed against them. There
has been such great rush of pay
ments in the last few days that it
will take the deputies some time to
straighten up the books, but this work
will be rushed as rapidly as possible
and after the books are turned over
by the city treasurer the full penal
ties will have to be collected from all
delinquents There are more delin-
quents Just at present than there ever
We're before on any tax collection in
the history Of the city, but it is to be
hoped that most of them can take adj
vantage Of the day or two Of grace
allowed them through the courtesy Of
the tax collectors and pay up. The
taxes are plenty high enough without
anybody being mulcted for any ex-
ira costs.

IS PICKED
AS NEXT SENATOR
BY William A. MaoCorkle. a
Former Governor of
West Virginia.

William A. MacCorkle. ex-governor
OF the state, thinks that virgn l..
Highland. OF this city. win be chosen
By the legislature 10 succeed United
States Senator Clarence ". Watson.
4 New York dispatch has the follow
Ing 70 say about MacCorkle's belief
in this respect:
Former Governor Maccorkle. a
Democrat and a partner or United
States senator Chiffon, came to New
York two days after election. and.
in melancholy tones, lamented that
with an overwhelming Democratic
victory the country over Yves, vIr-
GINA should fall down in local az
fairs and lose a worthy senator Ike
Watson. let alone long list Or state
officers. Governor MacCoritle perkcd
up some later on during his visit and
derived some satisfaction in declaring
that Republicans will have terrific
fight over senator. and might event
ually compromise on a modest. but
wonderfully capable Republican like
Virgil l. Highland. or Clarksburg,
who has been the chairman or the ad-
visory committee and the hardest
working member OF il throughout the
campaign. The MacCorkle view is
that Highland has kept clear or any
tactional troubles and stands ii a
good position to finally unite the sup
porters OF young Eikins. william Sey-
Eour Edwards. and Brier Fox Daw-
son. who has had senatorial designs
ever since he left the governors
Office. The possible projection or
Highland into the senatorial scrap Is
rather discouraged by his friends at
this time, but MacCorkle Is a wise
old bird in West Virginia affairs, and
heed will be given TO his wisdom even
by Republicans in time OF stress.
