WASHER USES A GUN
Man Who Accosted Young
Woman Opens Fire on
Their Companions.
WOULDDE BAD MAN DISARMED

George Thompson and r. W. Cole,
two young men residing at the Cum
mings Hotel and employed at the plant
of the Thomas B. Jeffery Company,
were under fire Sunday evening and
Thompson has mark in the way of
a bullet hole through the heel of his
shoe. The shots were fred by an
Italian who had insulted two young
women who were walking with Thomp-
son and Cole. After the shooting
Thompson and Cole assaulted the
Italian and disarmed him, but he man
aged to escape. The police have a
good description of the man and are
hopeful that he will be arrested be-
fore the day is over.
The exciting little incident took
place on Prairie avenue just west of
the Chicago Milwaukee tracks just af-
ter seven o'clock Sunday evening.
Cole and Thompson accompanied by
two young women were walking west
along the avenue. AS they passed one
! of the numerous saloons west of the
track three Italians standing along the
sidewalk offered an insult to one of
! the young woman Cole and Thompson
at once resented the insult and
promptly knocked the Italian down.
| The young women fed to a place of
safety and Cole and Thompson were
preparing to clean up the whole gang
when the Italian who had been knock
| ed down drew a revolver out of his
pocket and opened fire. The bullet
whizzed past the head of Cole and
| the second struck the heel of Thomp-
SON s shoe. The two men started to
run. The Italian stood in the road
pulling vigorously at the trigger of the
repeating revolver, but the gun miss
ed fire and Thompson and Cole believ-
ing that it was empty returned and
took another chance with the Italian.
They knocked him down and took the
revolver away from him. Later it was
turned over. to the police. In the fight
which followed the three Italians man
aged to all get away.
Cole and Thompson returned to the
hotel. This morning the police were
searching in the Italian quarter for
the men but up to noon no arrests
had been made. Frequent complaints
have been made to the police Of in
suits offered to women by Italians in
this district and the officers are deter
mined to hunt down the men connect
ed with the Sunday night shooting and
see to it that they are prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law.

ADDS MILLIONS TO THE Cost
Many Men Who Have Not Received
Pensions in the Past Will Now be
Paid by the Government Men of
Long Service to get Higher Pensions.

Veterans of the civil war in Keno
sha as well as in all parts of the
country are taking q great interest in
the new pension law recently enacted
by congress. Under the law there will
be more than a hundred veterans In
Kenosha county who will be entitled
to pensions. Of course some of them
are receiving pensions at the present
time.
The new pension law is pronounced
one OF the fairest that could have
been drawn up because it takes into
consideration both the age and the
length of service Of the veterans, Civ
ing each due consideration. Thus the
man who served but ninety days will
not receive as large a pension as the
men who served three years or more.
The age is an important feature also.
The veteran at 62 years and from
then on up to &c years will receive a
certain amount. After he has attain
ed this age the pension increases
it will remain stationary again until
he reaches the age Of seventy-from
then up to rs it remains the same
when the maximum amount is paid.
This provides that as the veteran de-
clines in years his pension will grow
from time to time.

CARRY CLOTHES into YARD
Robbery Is Discovered When Newhouse
and His Sons Begin to Dress Sunday
Morning Handkerchief May Give
Clew to Identity Of Bold Burglars.

One of the most daring Tobberies
known in recent years in Kenosha was
committed at the home of Charles
Newhouse on Ounce street Saturday
night or early Sunday morning when
unknown burglars entered the home
where four people were sleeping and
looted every room in the house. The
clothing of the three men in the house
was carried out into the rear yard
about the house and looted after
which it was left laying on the ground
near the door leading to the house.
The burglars got away with two suits
of clothes and considerable money,
the amount being unknown to the po-
lice.
The robbery was not discovered I'M
til late Sunday morning when the
members Of the family got up for the
day. The only clewl that the police
have to the identity of the burglars
is a handkerchief with a laundry
mark on it. This was found in the
back yard near the clothing which had
been discarded by the burglars.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newhouse and their
two sons were in the house at the time
the burglary took place. but not one
of them heard any sound in the house
during the night. Three of the rooms
were entered and in each of them
some member Of the party was sleep
ing. The clothing belonging to the
men which had been hung up in the
three rooms had been carried out into
the yard and rooms not used as sleep
ing rooms had been thoroughly search
ed by the burglars. There was moth
ing to indicate that the members of
the family had been given any sleep
ing lotion for they awoke at the usual
hour Sunday morning and they had no
feeling of drowsiness.
Mr.. Newhouse was the first to dis
cover the robbery. When he reached
for his trousers in the morning he
found that they were missing. He
went into the other rooms and aroused
his sons and they found that their
clothes were also gone A hurried
search of the house revealed the fact
that the burglars had been there and
when the men opened the back door
they found their clothes within easy
reach Of the door.
The police officers had seen no one
of a suspicious nature on the streets
near the Nevrhouse home. There was
nothing to show the manner in which
the men had made an entrance to the
house have the fact that the front door
7 of the house was open. It is claim
ed that the door was locked when the
members of the family retired on Sat-
urday night and it seems probable
that The burglars gained access to the
house by use of skeleton key.

he was still hopeful that the court

The council committee on gas and
light has devoted considerable time to
the location Of the ney street lights
and it is believed that the problem Of
placing the lights where they win be
of the greatest benefit to the greatest
number Of the people of the city has
been pretty well worked out. The lights
have not been apportioned by wards,
but the needs of the city as whole
have been considered in locating the
lights and a good share of the lights
have gone into the new territory, where
they were urgently needed.

TO RUN TO COUNTRY CLUB
First Route for New Car Will Be Along
Park Avenue to Park Row and Along
Durkee Avenue and Exchange Streets
on Return Trip to Business District

Durkee avenue, Park avenue and
Exchange street are to have motor car
service before the end of the week as
the first of the big motor cars to be
put into service in Kenosha by the
Motor Transportation Company arriv-
ed IN the city on Sunday and it will
begin to make regular trips over the
outh side streets some time later in
TIE week, probably on Wednesday.
The new Nnotcr car is of the latest
design and it will have seating cspa.
city OF twenty people and will be able
II necessary to carry thirty passeng-
ers. 1t is built with a view of COM
fort to the passengers. Heavily up
holstered seats promise places Of COM
fort for the passengers and it has
speed enough to make lot of trips
during the day.
The tirst route to be covered by the
new car is from Market Square south
along Main street and Park avenue to
Park Row, east to Durkee avenue.
north on Durkee to Eagle street, west
on Eagle to Exchange street and north
on Exchange to Market street and
Market Square.
The motor bus will make regular
trips over this route during eighteen
hours of every day. 1t will be in
charge of competent drivers. The com.
ing of the bus will bring to the city
the first "Pay as You Enter trans
portation. There will be no conduc-.
tor on the bus, but it will have a box
at the door and passengers will be ex-
pected to deposit their fares. The
first trip will be made about six
O'Clock in the morning and trips will
be made three or four times an hour
until midnight. J. Mark Hansen is
to be one of the men in charge of
the operation of the line. r. H. Welles
who is at the head of the company
interested in the installation of the
busses in Kenosha said that other
BUSES would be put on just as rapidly
as the service showed demand for
them. One more of the vehicles is now
in course Of building for the Kenosha
company and it is planned to operate
this car on Prairie avenue later in
the summer.
The routek selected for the first of
the cars promises to be a we'll pat
ronized one. 1t Will carry passengers
directly to the gates of the Kenosha
Country Club, to the gates of Kemper
Hall and to the city cemetery. In
addition it will stop within few feet
Of all the hotels in the city and will
make close connections with street
railway cars running to the North
western and the two stations of the
electric lines. The company will make
an announcement of the rates of fare
within few days and it is the inten-
tion of the management to make these
rates of fare sufficiently low to make
it an object for people to use the mo-
tor bus the same as they use the
electric cars.
The bus sent to Kenosha is of the
very same pattern as those now in use
in many of the leading cities of the
country

Many Millions More.

The new law provides the added
benefaction of $25,79S,O0O to the old
veterans which is added to the $780,
100000 that was paid them before.
Kenosha old veterans have been
wondering how they should go about
| it to take advantage of the raised pen
sions. They have besieged local JUS
tees Of the peace for information.
The blanks which they must fill out
and swear to before notary public
are still in the hands of the govern
ment printers and probably will not
arrive here for another week at least.
1t is a fact that old veterans will be
interested to hear that no increase of
pension will be effective until after
these slips have, been filled out and
placed on file In Washington, so any
veterans who wish to get the increas
ed pension would better not delay
matters any more than is necessary.
Complain of Rate.
The rate Of allowances is such that
man who lacks a few months of be-
| ing 66 years old must take the PEN
sion allowed the men of sixty-two thus
| it is probable that if there are any
who are not quite old enough to quail
lfy under the higher rates that they
will wait until their birthdays before
they send in their blanks.
Some of the old soldiers here think
that one Of the provisions of the law
that is not quite fair is that even if
a man has served within one month
Of three years that he must take the
pension allowed a man who has serv-
ed but two and half years. They
think that there should be more of a
graduation. Old veterans will be in
formed as soon as the blanks arrive
SO they will not need to lose time in
getting them filled out and sent away.
