RAISING THE STEAMER
Flora M. Hill to Be Raised
from Lake and Sent to
Dry Docks.
DAMAGE DONE is UNKNOWN

Considerable amusement was created
this morning among the local seamen
as result of wreck of the Flora
III. Hill. One of the Chicago papers
came out with the statement that cof-
fms and life preservers had been found
bearing the words "Flora M. Hill, "
and also suggesting that this might be
the steamer wrecked on the lake.
1t will be remembered that the
Flora M. Hill went down in the Chi
cage harbor in March and that she has
not been raised as yet.
Men are now at work, however, rails
ing the boat, and it is thought that
within the present week the worR will
be completed. just how bad off the
ship may be and what her exact con-
dition cannot be told until she has
been raised For the past few weeks
a gang Of men have been at work
raising the boat, but now their opera
tions have been carried out to such
an extent that it is thought that she
will be brought to the surface in a
few days.
As soon as she is brought up she
will be taken into dry dock and will
be repaired as quickly as possible and
put in sailing order again.

HITS SKATING NUISANCE.
Citizen Demands Protection from City
from Assaults of Hoodlulns on Skates.

Editor Kenosha Evening News;
Dear Sir:-Could have fled a humid
red complaints about roller skating
nuisances. While out walking last
night with my wife, were bumped in
to from behind by q grown hoodlum
and girl. Requesting him to be more
careful, answer was, lie had as much
right to sidewalk as we and we could
take middle of street. Those tonghs
get smart and fresh knowing it to be
a hard matter to catch them. This
happened on Pleasant street near Frost
Mfg. Co. 1t seems to me that city
officials would unite with the better
class of people that Have to walk and
appoint every one asking for it, a
deputy, provided he or she is qualified.
Certain parts Of city, especially Ii
brary Park and Elizabeth street park
are made unsafe for pedestrians to
pass by the actions Of the kind of
above named gamins at certain hours
Of day The roller skating nuisance
must be stopped with the approach of
spring weather.
Respectfully yours,
sohn Roper.

Supreme Court Reyerses De-
cision in Mary c. Grant
Will Case.
ESTATE GOES TO ALL HEIRS
Court Holds that While Mrs. Grant
May Not Have Signed Will That Her
knowledge Of the Signing Could not
Be Questioned Ask a Rehearing.

The paper purporfing to be the will
Of the late Mary @. Grant, formerly
Of Kenosha, must be admitted to pro-
bate in the county court of Kenosha
county and the estate valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 must be dis
posed of in keeping with the provi-
sions of the will. This was the deci-
sion Of the supreme court handed down
on Tuesday afternoon and it brought
to a close one of the bitterest will
contests known in Kenosha county in
years. In making the decision the
court reversed the decision of Judge
Belden in the circuit court of Keno
sha county in which he held that the
will was invalid.
1t is admitted that Mrs. Grant did
not sign the will without assistance
and that in ahixing her signature to
the will her hand was guided by the
late Daniel Benedict. The lower
court held that this could not be held
as a signature, but the higher court
holds that the fact that the hand was
directed in signing The will was evil
dence that it was The desire of Mrs.
Grant to make the division of her
property as provided by the document.
Under the provisions of the will the
property must be divided between AL
bert KarneH, the heirs of the late
Peter Dahl, the heirs Of Carl Main
and the heirs Of Mrs. Joseph A. Will
liams, also deceased. The contest against
the admission Of the will was made
by Albert Karnell and the late Charles
Malm and the latter died pending the
continuance Of the litigation. Judge
Heck of Racine county, sitting for the
late Judge Slosson in the county court,
originally admitted the will to pro-
bate, but the appeal was taken to the
circuit court where the decision of the
county court was reversed.
Attorney R. Y. Baker, who repre-
scented the contestants, stated this
morning that an appeal for a rehearing
would be made to the supreme court
at once.
The property affected by the rdeci-
sion is the quarter block Of real estate
at the corner Of Exchange and Park
street known as the Grant Planning
Mill and certain personal property
held by Mrs. Grant at the time of
her death.
The court also handed down deci-
sion in the old case of Charles Smith
against Robert Dixon affirming the de-
cision of the circuit court in the case.
This was civil action which had
been on the calendar of the Kenosha
circuit court for a long time.

MUST LEAVE THE STATE.
Governor McGovern Grants Provision
al Pardon to Walter 3. Crumptop.

At Madison on Tuesday afternoon
Governor Il. T. McGovern handed
down an order granting a provisional
pardon to Walter B. Crumpton, form
erly Of Kenosha, who had served seven
months of a two years sentence in the
state prison at Waupun. Crumpton
was sent to prison from the municipal
court here after he had pleaded guilty
to making an assault on Joseph Loef,
a Prairie avenue saloon man. The as
sault was particularly vicious one.
Crumpton is a member of one of the
best known families of Nashville,
Tenn, and his relations have been ac-
tive in seeking his release from the
state prison. Governor McGovern al
lowed the pardon only with the under
standing that Crumpton shall return
to Nashville at once and that ne shall
refrain from the use of intoxicating
liquors. Crumpton had been a soldier
at TT. Sheridan at the time he was
arrested for the Kenosha crime He
was alleged to have had wife in
Kenoshs, but this fact was denied hy
the attorney who appeared for him be
fore the governor on Tuesday. There
was no objection to the pardon on the
part Of local officials.

NO PARTIALLY BEING SHOWN
Privileged Saloon Men Notified that
the Order to Remove Wine Rooms
Means Them Just the Same as it
Means Any Other Saloon Men.

Saloon men seem to be little
slow to grasp the idea that the police
mean it. ~ AS a result of this slow
ness Of comprehension two ARREST were
made today for violation Of the sa-
loon regulations James w Rose was
charged with keeping his place OF
Elizabeth street open until 1870 Tues
day night and warrant was issued for
Charles Vite, also a saloonkeeper in
the Brassville neighborhood, charging
that his place of business was open at
five minutes after the witching hour
of midnight this morning. Rose ap-
Ipeared in the municipal court this
morning and the hearing Of the case
was continued for a week. Vite is
expected to be in to interview the
judge this afternoon. The minimum
fine on conviction is $25 and the costs
Of the action. The hearing of the
case against Patrick Devine on similar
charges is scheduled to be taken up
by Judge Randall This afternoon.
When the order was issued to close
up at eleven there was lot OF sly
winking among the saloon men, but
they are beginning to understand that
the police chief means just what ne
said this time and it is probable that
after half a dozen Of the men who
fail to see the regulations have been
fined in court that they will get on
understanding of just what d regula-
tion means.
| There are a few men who seem to
regard themselves as privileged in the
matter of removing wine rooms and it
| is known that several of the wine
rooms-with the doors removed-are
still being maintained IN the saloons.
Chief O'Hare issued his last warning
on Tuesday and it was take 'em
out. There is not going to be any
more warnings and if the wine rooms
are not out and all out in the next
forty-eight hours every proprietor Of
a saloon where they are found will
be brought into court.
For the most part the saloon men
are cheerfully obeying the regulations
and are satisfied with them and these
men are going to be fully protected in
their business and the men who will
not obey the law will be made to,
pay fines enough to make it decidedly
improbable for them to refuse to
comply with the spirit as well as the
words Of the regulation.
Chief O'Hare has kept his men on
the jump all the time and every COM
plant made to the department has
been looked into. The proprietors of
all halls have been advised that Sun
day dances under the guise of wedding
celebrations will not be permitted in
the future. Two of these celebrations
were held on last Sunday, but they were
permitted only on account that the in
vitations for them had been issued
long before the new regulations for the
saloons and dance halls were made.

and three nights the soldiers held OF

tenant Hall with three men were or
dered out on a reconnaissance. The
lieutenant and his little command
circled through the mountains for
several hours and in the afternoon
they heard a succession of shots.
They struck out for the spot from
which the firing came. On rounding
the shoulder of the valley Lieutenant
Hall saw at a little distance across
the open space band Of at least
forty Utes. The ofiicer saw that

been surprised and had taken to a

drive at Lieutenant Hall. They made
half the distance to their comrades
before the Indians had reloaded. Then
the two dropped behind a rock and
waited. The Indians did not again

Halls command. Then the lieutenant
stood on the rock once more facing
the Utes. Lieutenant Weir and the
scout dashed OUTPUT the Indians

the Indian band turned their guns
at Lieutenant Hall. The other half
fired at Weir and the scout, both of
whom fell dead, while Lieutenant Hall

comrades, who retreated slowly from
cover to cover. holding their assail-
