INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.
Well Known Somers Men Have Narrow

Well Known Somers Men Have Narrow
Escapes at Village Wednesday.
The village of Somers had the most
exciting runaway accident in its his
tory just after nine O'Clock Wednes
day morning when team of horses be-
longing to Chris Rasmussen, a farmer
in the town, ran away. The team was
frightened at passing train and Axcl
Rasmussen, Fl years of age, who was
driving them, was unable to stop them.
Young Rasmussen was thrown out and
dragged, sustaining serious injuries. He
had a great wound in his scalp and
was bruised all over the body. After
the driver had been thrown out the
team ran madly through the streets of
the village. Adams Lytle, merchant
in the village, failed to see the horses
coming and he was run down by them.
He went right under the horses hoofs
and it seems miraculous that he es-
capped with his life. Lytle was picked
up unconscious and taken to his home
aud DR.. Ripley was called to attend
him. 1t was found that he had no brok-
en- bones, but that he had been badly
cut and bruised.

completely crushed as result of the
tragedy and today he was said to be in
"a serious condition, his nerves Scent
ingly being completely wrecked.
The little girl fingered until mid
night Tuesday evening in great agony
when death came to relieve her. The
little boy had shown signs of improve
ment today and the physician in
charge declared that he had an even
chance to recover.
Just how the explosion occurred is
something of mystery. It is thought
however, that the fumes of the gaso-
line coming out Of the open can got
close enough to the flames in the stove
and brought the explosion.
A jury was called to investigate in
to the death of Mrs. Kretschmer and
the little child Justice H. T. Hoff-
ner presided and verdict of acct
dental death was returned. The jury
added to the verdict "Mrs. Kretsch-
mer gave her life for her children. =
The funeral of the mother and the
daughter was held from st. Alphonse
church this afternoon and interment
was at the family plot there.

Grand Army Officials Make
Plans for State Encamp-
ment at Amigo.
SPECIAL TRAIN FOR VETERANS

Department Commander Hiram J..
Smith Of Racine, and Master of Trans
portation John w. Canes, Ripon, have
completed their arrangements for the
trip to Amigo, where the next state
G. A. R. encampment will be held.
The headquarters train will leave
Milwaukee Monday morning, June 10,
at 11:45 O'Clock. 1t will consist of a
baggage, composite and chair cars and
as many coaches as will be required
for those who go from the southeast
ern part of the state, as well as those
who desire to 60 with the commander
and his staff from West Bend, Camp
bellsport, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Nee
nah, Menasha and Appleton.
The veterans and citizens of Amigo
are making arrangements for the care
and entertainment of all who attend
and they have assurance that, the at
tendence will be large, as the Wom-
ans Relief Corps, with large mem
bership, the Ladies Of the G. A. R.,
Daughters of Veterans and Sons of
Veterans meet at the same time.
Among the more important work
the encampment will be called upon to
perform will be the election of four
members Of the board of trustees for
the Wisconsin Veterans home. It is
likely that Trustees Smith, Veeder
and Canes, who are filing vacancies
occasioned by the death of Phil Cheek
and the resignation of DR.. H. E. Mann
and Col. B. F. Bryant, who is now the
commander of the house and Capt. R.
|B. Lang, whose term expires this year,
will be elected.
There is no contest for department
commander. George 5pratt, sheboy-
gan Falls, is slated for the position.

IS A NATIVE or WISCONSIN
New Pastor for ST. George Is Widely
Known as an Organizer and Has Had
Several Important Posts in Diocese.
Priest for More Than 20 Years.

Archbishop S. G. Messmer Of the
Milwaukee diocese on Tuesday hand
ed down an official order naming the
Rev. A. J. Nickel of Elm Grove, as
pastor of st. George church to sue
coed the Rev. A. M. Rossbach, who
was transferred to Notre Dame Con-
vent in Milwaukee on last Thursday.
Father Nickel will come to Kenosha
within few days to take charge of
the work Of the Kenosha congregation.
Father Nickel is Wisconsin man
and he has spent his entire life in the
Milwaukee diocese and in that time
had given much valuable work to the
church. He is native of Saukville
where he was born Oct. 30, 1866. He
was educated at the schools of his
native parish and later entered the
seminary at ST. Francis where he COM
pleted both the classical and theologi-
cal courses. He was ordained to the
priesthood on March 3, 1889 and two
days later was given the privilege of
celebrating his first mass at St.
Michael s church in Milwaukee. He
was named as an assistant at this
church and after five months in which
he showed his ability as manager
and priest he was named as pastor Of
lSt. HYbert' church at Richfeld. He
remained in charge of the Richfeld
parish-ant1 1895 when he wasf tra4s-
ferred to ST. Theresa congregation at
Eagle He remained at Eagle for five
years when he was transferred to the
church at Elm Grove.
Father Nickel is in the very prime
of life and he is vigorous as man
and as a leader in his church. He
has been known throughout the do
cese for his work of building up the
churches with which he has been
connected and he has been very popu-
lar in every city where he has had
charge of a Congregation Father
Nickel is distinctly man of
red blood. He is fond Of the good
things in sports, an ardent hunter and
fisherman and lover Of all sorts Of
athletics. He is vigorous as speak
er and as thinker and there is no
doubt bit that his coming to St.
George church will be heartily well
coined by the members of the large
congregation. This is the second time
that the archbishop has named a Wis
consin priest to have charge of ST..
George church, the other Wisconsin
priest being Father Joseph Dreis who
served St. George church for many
years and died in his work here.

of Tracks Would Cost 100000.
The city council of the city of Ra-
cine held a special session on Tues
day night to consider the plan of ele-
walton of the tracks of the North
western Railway Company through
that city and at the meeting it was
declared that the cost of raising the
tracks would be in the neighborhood
of 100000. 1t was also declared that
part of this cost would have to be
paid by the city of Racine and it will
be up to the railway commission of
the state to divide the expense should
the tracks be ordered raised. The
work in Kenosha is not nearly so
large as that in Racine and it is de-
clared that if the work in Racine
would cost but 100000 that the
tracks through Kenosha would be
raised at a cost not to exceed $250,000.

ROAD WORK BEING DISCUSSED
Committees Named to Have Charge of
Regular Work of Board During Com
ing Year and Many Matters Are Laid
Over Until November Session.
From Wednesday s Dailvl

SNAiSpOU1 Od1lY J
Frank Shuart, chairman for the town
of Bristol, was elected chairman of the
county board at the meeting of the
board for reorganization held at tire
county building today. The election OF
Mr.. Shuart came on the fifth ballot, but
he had led in the voting from the first.
His most active opponent in the early
ballots was A. j. Burg, the former
chairman of the board. On the fifth
ballot Mr.. Shuart received nine votes,
John T. Yule four, A. J. Burg two and
one was cast for Supervisor Herzog of
the town of Somers.>
In accepting the office, Supervisor
Shuart thanked the board for the CON
fidence they had placed in him and
assured them of his appreciation of
the high honor. He declared that he
would aim to govern the board with
all fairness and urged the cooperation
of all the members of the board that
the best interests of the county might
be served during the year. Mr.. Shuart
has been member of the board seven
years.
The board passed a vote of thanks
to Supervisor Pacey the retiring chair.
man of the board.
At the opening session this morning
no indication was given of any impor
tant business to come before the
board, but s. ~ committee was
named by the chairman to appoint the
standing committees for the year and
the committees were organized at the
session this afternoon.
It is not expected that any special
business will come up at the session
which is expected to close late this
afternoon. The main question to be
discussed is the question of road build
ing and this will probably be in the
form of discussion, rather than in
the form of definite action. The new
committees are expected to take up the
road work and an effort will be made
to get more action in the county. The
work is not well under way yet, al
though the building season is getting
pretty well advanced.
Several other matters are in the
hands of the committees of the for
mer board, but it is not expected that
these committees will make any re-
ports until the November session of
the board.

special committee and confirmed by the
board follows:

The sudden and severe storm of Sat
urday and Sunday tested the capacity
of the new trunk line sewer and it
must be said that the sewer did all
that was claimed for it by the en-
gineers. The sewer evidently can take
care Of al the water that can get into
it under present conditions and the
showing made encourages the city
authorities to believe that the sewer
will be able to meet all the ordinary
demands made upon it even when all
of the interseeting sewers which must
find their outlet through this main
trunk sewer are connected up and dis
charging into it. 1t viii be years be-

The state highway commission has
been sending out some gcod advice to
the men in charge of the construction
of county roads, but most of it ap-
plies equally well to the contractors
on city pavements. Two clauses in the
last leafet sent out are particularly
adapted to all road building work:
The road you are proud of building
costs very little more than the road
you have to apologize for, and At
tention to little details that seem
hardly worth while will make the diff
