HEAR DIVORCE ACTION.
Circuit Court Hears Unusual Action in
Connection with Suit for Divorce.

An unusual action for divorce was
heard in the circuit court this morning
when Judge Belden heard the evidence
in the suit of Steve Minar VS.. Elizabeth
Minar. The plaintiff in the action has
been a resident of Kenosha for some
time and in his complaint he asserted
that his wife was in Hungary and that
she had repeatedly refused to come to
this country. The evidence produced
showed that both Minar and his wife
had established new domestic relations
and it is possible that the case will be
one for the investigation of the district
attorney. Judge Belden did not grant
a decree IN the case and the matter was
held open pending further investigation
on the part of divorce counsel Peter
Fisher, Jr.

ITO REOPEN RACING
Emil Schultz Gets Lease on
Ideal Park at Russell and
Old Track will be Opened
START REBUILDING At ONCE

Kenosha county is to have another
taste of the racing game as it is re-
ported on good authority today that
Ideal Park. the famous old race track
down by the state line and near the
village of Russell, is to be opened again
this season and within few days
men viii be put to work scraping off
the grass which for decade has been
growing over the track and fences
and grand stands will be restored in
time for racing meet in the early
summer. E. H. Schultz, formerly of
Kenosha, has taken the lease on the
property and he plans to have the
track in shape for use in the next
thirty days. Experts who have ex-
amined the track declare that it can
be put in first class condition by sim
ply scraping off the sod.
Manager Schultz was in Kenosha on
Thursday completing contracts for
building fences and grand stands at
the park and he declared that he was
planning to have both trotting and
motorcycle meets at the track this
summer. Of course there still remains
the hope that the track may be open
ed for the running horses as in the old
days, but this is very improbable.
Manager Schultz expects to have a
number of race meets.
The opening of the race track will
put Russell back on the map, but it
is hardly possible that it will ever at
tain the distinction as sporting GEN.
ter that it had when racing was killed
in Wisconsin. Before that time Rus
sell was the real mecca for Chicago
sports and it was the only place in the
neighborhood of Chicago where runs
ming races were held. Opposition to
the track in the county had a great
deal to do with the action of the leg
islature in passing the bill to prevent
racing in the state.
The track is declared to be one OF
the best ever built in the neighbor-
hood of Chicago and it is certain to
gain favor as a training track if not
among the gambling fraternity which
has been the controlling factor in
many of the big tracks. Many of the
Pleasant Prairie men who are inter
ested in the race horses will hail the
re-opening of the park with interest.

SEEK FRANCHISE At WAUKEGAN
Line Will Undoubtedly be Part of
Lines of Milwaukee Company Now
Being Operated Into Kenosha-Ex-
pect official Announcement Soon.

Report comes from Waukegan that
new intcrurban railway is to be
built to connect Milwaukee and Chi
cago and it is declared that the COM
pany has made formal overtures to
the commission at Waukegan for a
franchise for the line through the
streets Of Waukegan. The matter is
being handled with great secrecy and
the officials of Waukegan have declar-
cd that they will not disclose the
names Of the men interested in the
company until such disclosure becomes
necessary by the city of Waukegan
taking formal action on the franchise
ordinance. Mayor Bidinger Of Wau-
kegan declared on Saturday evening
that agents Of the new company were
now working in Cook and Lake coun-
ties, H., and Kenosha and Racine
counties in this state to secure rights
of way for the company.
The announcement from Waukegan
has not brought great deal of ex-
element in Kenosha as people here
who have watched developments feel
certain that the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light Company will in
the near future seek to extend it's
road south from Kenosha with view
of getting into Chicago. That com
pany owns a right of way running from
the south limits of Kenosha directly
through the property leased by the
Kenosha Country Club and on south to
the very limits of Waukegan. This
right of way was taken over number
of years ago and it has been held with
view of seeking continuance of the
lines to the south of Kenosha. It was
an open secret that the Milwaukee
company sought to purchase the Chi
eago and Milwaukee line, but this pro
posed purchase was blocked by some
of the bondholders. Manager Stearns
OF the Milwaukee Company has re-
peatedly stated that his company
would in the near future seek an out
let south through the streets of Keno
sha and the matter has been discussed
informally with council committees.
1t is known that the Milwaukee COM
pany has an understanding with other
companies which have sought this
right of way.
At Waukegan the crisis was brought
on account of disagreement between
the officials of that city and the of
ticials of the Chicago and Milwaukee
road. The last named refused to meet
the demands of the city of Waukegan
and for this reason Mayor Bidinger
went out looking for another company
to take over the local franchise. With
q FRANCHISE through the city Of Wau-
kegan it would be an easy matter for
the Milwaukee company to extend it's
tracks to the south with the assurance
that it will eventually build the tracks
into the loop district of Chicago.
1t is probable that some official an.
nouneement will be made in the near
future.

HOLD ANNUAL RECEPTION.
Annual Reception of New Members of
Grace Lutheran Church Held Thursday.

The annual reception to the new
members of Grace Lutheran Church
last evening was the most successful
social event of the year for that con
gregation. An unusually large num-
Der of people was present and enjoy
ed the occasion. The church parlors
were tastefully decorated in keeping
with the season. During the evening
several musical numbers were rendered
and Mrs. Gebhart gave two readings
in her inimitable manner. A new or
ganization, the Kenosha "Sympathy
Orchestra, made it's first appearance
before an audience and each member
filed his part in a masterful manner.
Later in the evening various interest
ing games were enjoyed by the large
number of guests and refreshments
were served by the committee in
charge.

No Trouble Over Milk Prices for Keno
sha County Farmers on Tuesday.

There is not going to be any trouble
for milk producers Of Kenosha county
on Tuesday when the new contracts
for the summer months 60 into effect.
The victory Of the producers seems to
be complete as the Borden company
has now dropped into line and on Sat-
urday announced a new scale which
practically meets the demand of the
producers. The Borden price is not in,
exact terms of the contract demanded
by the producers but it offers
premium for milk of certain test. The
Borden company was SO slow to come
in with the new price that many farm
ers who had sold to the bottling plants
OF that company had already made
contracts with other companies. On
this account it is declared that some
of the plants in this county will be
short of milk during the year.

AS the result of numerous complaints
the police have found it advisable to
bar the roller skaters from the walks
iT the down town district of the city
and orders to that effect go into force
Immediately. At present there is no
intention to further curtail the privi-
leges Of the skaters, but it is limited
that some of the older skaters who
have shown no regard for the rights
of pedestrians may be brought into
court On charges of disorderly con-
duet. The chief of police does not
propose to punish the many for the
sins of the few and bar the skaters
from the walks altogether unless it be-
comes absolutely necessary to DO so,
and the effect of a few arrests of the
most notorious offenders will be tried
first, but way must be found to. stop
the continual complaints against skat-
ing on the walks coming in to the
police.

NO vALUABLEs ARE MISSING
Entrances to Houses were made through
Basement Windows Home of Miss
Allen Is Ransacked from Basement
to Garret-No Clew to Guilty Parties

The police Of the city are making an
Investigation of two mysterious burg
laries, which took place on Saturday
night or early Sunday morning when
the homes of Miss Julia Allen and Mrs.
Charles w. Allen, both on Chicago
street, were entered by burglars.
The attempted robbery at both
houses was evidently the work of the
same parties. Entrances were made
through basement doors which had been
broken open with a jimmy" At the
home Of Mrs. Charles w. Allen the
men got no further than the basement
of the house as the doors leading to
the upper rooms had Withstood the at
tack of the thieves. At the home Of
Miss Julia Allen the entire house was
ransacked and it is impossible to tell
whether or not the burglars got away
with valuable loot Mrs. G. w. Allen
is spending the winter in New York
and Miss Julia Allen and the members
of her household are in California and
both houses had been left in the care
Of a caretaker.
When the people in charge went to
the home Of Miss Julia Allen on Sun
day morning they found the house torn
topsy turvy. Entering the building
through a cellar door the burglars had
forced their way into the kitchen of
the house and from this room they had
free access to all parts of the house.
Not a drawer in the house was I'M
touched and clothing and silverware
We're scattered about the rooms. The
burglars had evidently been looking
for money for when the police were
called they found more than $500
worth Of silver and plated ware scat
tered about the dining room. The po-
lice were at once called to the house
and they discovered that the thieves
had left through rear door locking
the door from the outside and taking
the key with them. Fearing a return
of the thieves Chief Of Police O 'Hare
stationed an officer at both of the
houses on Sunday night, but the
thieves failed to put in an appearance.
Evidently the men had timed their
entrance to the houses. The caretaker
had been at the houses on Saturday
night and it is thought that the
thieves were in waiting for his depart
ure and as soon as he had left they
entered the places. The blinds had
been pulled down SO that the men work
ed with little idea of being disturbed.
The police can not account for the fact
that the thieves failed to take the
valuable table ware at the home of
Miss Allen.
Members Of the Allen fmily have
not planned to return to Kenosha I'm
til -late in April and pending their re-
turn men will be stationed at the
houses. The same precaution will be
taken at the home of Nathan Allen
which has been vacant for some time.
Chief O'Hare stated this morning
that he had no clew to the guilty par
ties, but that ne felt certain that the
burglaries were the work of some Ke.
nosha people who knew the conditions
at the Allen homes.
