DON'T EXPECT AID OF STATE
District Attorney Hastings Ready to
Hand Evidence Over to His Success
sor in Fight Between County and
Hercules Powder Company.

District Attorney Henry J. Hast
ings is being hampered considerably IN
his efforts to get evidence against the
powder mills at Pleasant Prairie on
account Of the timidity of the people
living in the village of Pleasant Pralff-
lie and the surrounding territory. These
people seem to be opposed to giving
any aid to the effort that the County
Board is making to GUST the plant from
the county. Pleasant Prairie seems to
be willing to take an occasional shak-
ing-up in order to retain the business
that naturally follows the operation OF
the powder plant. Attorney Hastings
is, however, getting together much evi-
dence from other parts of the county
which is to be used in the litigation
to show that the plant is a nuisance
and it is expected before the case is
submitted to the courts that there will
be some evidence from the people of
Pleasant Prairie. Many of these peo-
pie strongly urged the county board to
take some action to close up the plant
but they ran for their holes when they
were asked to come out into the open
and appear before the courts to pro-
test against the continuance of the
l,-u...aao oe +ba ao,onopxy ~, +ha countv
No formal papers have been filed in
the action of the county against the
company but Attorney Hastings will
have everything in readiness to turn
the case over to his successor District
Attorney-elecet A. L. Drury. On the
first day of January there will be a
change in the name and management
of the Kenosha county plant and after
that it will be the property of the Her
cules Powder Company. This company
has but four plants in the United
States and it is probable that much of
the powder sold by the company will
be made at and shipped from the plant
at Pleasant Prairie.
The matter of bringing the action to
Dust the plant in the name of the state
has not as yet been taken up with the
Attorney General and the local officials
are of the opinion that little aid would
be gained by seeking the aid of this
state official. In the former action
brought against the company the At
torney General declined to act in the
matter and the brunt of the fight was
borne by the local attorneys and local
property owners. Attorney Hastings
declares that he has secured a large
amount of evidence Co show that the
plant as it is maintained is a nuisance.

SEEK SITE FOR BANK PEOPLE TOO TAD FAVOR COL. STRONG
Madison Men Seek Lease of
StahI Building on Church
Street Thursday.
SOUGHT SITE HERE BEFORE

Kenosha may have a new bank just
after the opening Of the new year and
the men promoting the new institution
are in Kenosha today actively engag-
ed in seeking building for the use
of the company. They have sought a
lease of the new building recently
built by Sheriff Andrew T. Stahl at
the corner Of Park and Church streets
and have offered to take a long time
lease of the building. They have gone
so far as to seek to purchase the lease
from the American Express Company.
The new bank is to be known as
" The Farmer S Bank of Kenosha =
and it is declared that it will cater
largely to the big agricultural districts
about Kenosha The names of the
men active in the promotion of the in
stitution have not been made public,
but it is understood that the capital
for the bank is to be furnished by
several men who reside in Madison.
It is thought that the men backing
the project are the same men who have
sought to secure a bank in Kenosha
in former times. It is said that the
same men hold the controlling stock
in one Of the banks in Milwaukee and
that there will be no lack of capital
for the bank when it is opened.
Sheriff Stahl when seen this morning
said: "The Madison men have sought
a lease on my building with the plan
OF opening farmers bank but / am
not at liberty to give out the names
of the men behind the movement.
They seem to mean business and it is
pretty certain that they themselves
will make an official announcement of
their plans within the next few days.
They have been in Kenosha on sew
eral occasions and have declared that
they considered the city a place suit
able for bank which will cater es-
pecially to the demands of the farm
ers who do business in the city. The
matter of the lease is up to these men
and the express company, the latter
company having taken a lease on the
building for a term of years. I under
stand that The men have several other
buildings under consideration and
have even considered the possibility

WILLING TO ACCEPT OFFICE

The question of the appointment of
q postmaster for the city of Kenosha
under the new democratic administra
ton is still being agitated among the
followers of democracy in the city
and the latest development in the
movement is the announcement that
an effort will be made to secure the
appointment of Col w. w. Strong to
the Office. Col. Strong is not a poll
tician in the sense of going out after
the Office, but when seen this morning
admitted that he would not be adverse
to holding down the Office of post
master if the democracy Of Nenosha
deemed him the proper man to urge
for the appointment. He has assumed
a willing attitude and a waiting one
and he holds that it is decidedly early
for any one to figure on moving into
the postoffice. The friends of Col.
Strong have been active in the past
few days and they are not going TO
allow any of the other candidates to
get the jump on them. The colonel
himself has taken no part in the ac-
tivity beyond expressing his approval
and assuring his appreciation.
Col. Strong has been a leader among
the democracy of the county for the
past thirty years. He has stuck to
