SAYS he WAS ROBBED
Man Arrested in Connection
With Street Cutting
Charges Robbery.
POLICE DOUBT MANS STORy

The police are making a most vigor-
Gus investigation of the bloody fight
which occurred near the Arthur Cap
pelin saloon in the town of Pleasant
Prairie Monday morning and it is now
declared that one of the men connect
ed with the fracas was robbed of $500.
Cappelin, one Of the men injured in the
fight, was removed from the city lock
up to the Kenosha hospital on Monday
afternoon and his condition was re-
garded as serious. This morning it was
state at the hospital that his condition
showed Improvement but it viii be
several days before he is able to leave
the hospital and appear in court to an
sWer the charges against him. Julius
Koulovich, one Of the men cut in. the
fracas, is the man who brings the allie
cation of robbery. He asserts that
when he went into the Cappelin saloon
some time after midnight Monday
morning that he had $500 in his pocket
and that after he had been taken bv
the police the money was missing. The
man claims that during the progress
of the fight just outside the saloon he,
saw some one reach in his pocket and
take the money. Kouloyich had near
ly thirty eight dollars when he reached
the police Office and the members of
the force doubt the story of the rob
berry. The man was not able to tell
where he had secured the money or
to give any reason for carrying about
so large a sum. The other men in the
fight profess to be entirely ignorant
of the robbery and they declare that
the man is dreaming.
Four of the men Steve Doritz, julius
Koulovieh,y Albert Nildebrandt and
William Zayarski We're taken into the
municipal court on Monday afternoon
and Judge Randall ordered a continu-
ance of the hearing until Friday morn
ing. Bonds in each case were fixed
at 5000 and all of the four men return
ed TO jail being unable to furnish the
bond It is thought that by Friday
Cappelin will be able to be in court
and give his side of the story.
The proposed effort to close up the
Cappelin place has been held in abev-
anee by Sheriff Stahl pending the out
come of the injuries of Cappelin but
it is certain that the sheriff will do
mand action both in the municipal
court and from the Town Board Of
Pleasant Prairie. Action in other sa-
loon cases was held up pending the
outcome Of the CaRpelin case.

The teachers committee of the
Board of Education acting under the
authority of the board met on Monday
evening at the office of the superin-
tendent and completed the list Of
teachers for the schools next year by
naming IL. B. Murphy Of Oconto, as
principal, Mr.. Murphy has not been
assigned to any school but it is under
stood that he will be sent to either
the Frank or the Balm school. Edward
f. Randall who has been at the Balm
school as principal since the building
of the school is to be given a choice
between this school and the remodeled
Frank school and if he takes the prin-
cipalship job of the Frank school the
newly elected principal will go TO the
Balm school.
Principal Murphy comes to Kenosha
with the best of recommendations, He
is a graduate of the Oshkosh Normal
and has had wide experience as a
teacher. For several years he has
been principal of one of the largest
grade buildings in Oshkosh and he had
been reelected to his position for an
other year. He will accept a position
in Kenosha and has resigned his posi-
tion in Oshkosh in order to come here.
There are now no vacancies in the
list of teachers of the Kenosha schools
and all of the contracts for the new
year have been signed. Tt is expected
that the work of assigning the teach
ers to the different buildings will be
completed by the last week in August
and following the plan of the superin-
tendent few changes will be made. 1t
is expected that for the most part the
teachers viii be assigned to the same
buildings as last year.
The opening of the new domestic
science department. at the Central
building will be the most notable fea-
ture of the opening of the new school
year. Miss Frances Beck is to have
charge of the department. and she has
had wide experience in this line Of
work. 1t is planned to make this de-
partment one most helpful to the
young people of Kenosha and the edu-
cation along practical lines will be Just
rs complete for the girls of Kenosha
rs has been offered for the boys in the
various manual training departments
Of the city schools. It is thought that
the new department will be very pop
ular with the girl students of the
schools and while the start this year
will be along certain fixed lines, it is
expected that the course will be so
popular that before the end of the
year there will be demand for the
extension of this kind of work to the
graded schools of the city. No plans
have been made for the building of a
new building this year, but the mem.
bers of the Board will be forced to
rent several rooms, possibly at the
Lutheran school, in order to take care
of the increased number of school chill.
dren. Plans for the enlargement of
the Balm school are being considered
and it is probable that this work will
pe sought rather than the building of
a new building next year.

breast and abdomen. He would
allow no one but Coroner Barnes
to do the trick. Stretched out.
with his head on one chair and
his feetlon another, the rock was
laid on his person and Mr. Barnes,
with sledge hammer, did the
work thoroughly and to the salts

Yankee Dead In Corinth

No less than fifty-hve or sixty
thousand Yankee carcasses are
mingling with ssthe dust in and
around Corinth and between tn Il e
and the Tennessee river. Ger
tainly great sacrifice of human
life for the small advantage gained
by a temporary foothold in North
Mississippi. During the stay of
the Yank ,es here they were con-
stantly carried off to that borne
from whence no traveller returns
by diseases Of almost every kind
in large and increasing numbers
In the month of August, 1865 one
hundred of the 10th Missouri cav
airy alone died of disease. Thirty
died in one company in the same
month. Other commands lost in
large proportions. The 10th Wis
consin buried three hundred and
eighty two privates and officers
during the time it was here, from
November 1862 to May 1868. Not
less than fifteen thousand were
buried shortly after the Corinth
battle in October 1862. The en-
tire number buried from Tuscum-
bia Greek, near Camp Davis, to
the river, including the battlefield
of Shiloh may not be overestimat-
ed at fifty-fve thousand or per-
haps sixty thousand. No wonder
that Lincoln has had to replenish
the ranks Of his army by hundreds
Of thousands and half millions,
when his numbers have been di-
minished in such proportion
wherever he has invaded us.

with a copy Of the Moulloa {Ala.)
D-mccrat Of July 18th, 1864, ed
tied by d c White, from which we

To The MEMORY Or
Maj DICK JOHNSON, 18th Reg
iment Alabama Cavalry, who
was wounded in the late battle
near Moulton, Ala.
The very mention of Mai Dick
Johnson's death will saddenamany
a heart and moisten many an eye.
The dauntless, daring and gal
liant soldier has fallen; and we'll
may mother, maiden, friend and
relative weep. Well may his coun
try weep. The grave claims not

sure guardian of his country's iii
critics. He was soldier in tn,
true sense OF the word. Not con
tent simply to pass off the time
no play-out but ever ready for
duty, he performed it with alacrity
He was faithful and earnest and
the Commanding General knew
we'll in whom he put his trust.
He was no loud s,boaster of his
own exploits, but sshis conduct on
the field was ever SO martial and
heroic as to call forth words of en-.
ccnliun from both friend and foe.
1 As a;l officer he was firm dccid-
ID, prompt and energetic.
Shrinking from the performance
Iof no duty, The had no patience
with stragglers and skulkcfs.
He was full of courage enter
prise and an honorable love of g..
ry. But III Was not pfo.np..ed
merely by thoughts o, sele eg-
grandizement. He was despls
concerned about the good or evil
that mig'l. fcfall her in this hour

crisis through which she is passing
To see him charge into a show

Wy supposed he was reckless Of
life, BRIT not 50. He felt that
the casihs demanded It's risk that
it was Ills dAfy and Il wss no time
to count rssSohal consequences.
His courage sssS nbt simply OF a.
personal or privasE Character, bit
he possessed that Lssasbotn' nbbler
courage that induced MID tbrisk
all the bright hopes and Jfbsbects
of the future and lay down Ais'1ife
a voluntary sacrifice on the aatar
of his country.
His mind was of no common
order. His intellect was strong
vigorous and active Though
shrcwd and sagacious he possessed
no element of sordidness or cum
ming.
