EXAMINES WITNESS HIMSELF
District Attorney Produces Witness to
Show That Accused Man Knew What
He Had Done After Shooting-Sent
Back to Jail Without Bonds.

Vincent Kurnilowitz, charged with
the attempted murder Of Miss Anna
Antonowicz, said to have been his
sweetheart, whom he shot on the 10Th
Of January last, was brought face to
face with the young woman for the
first time since the shooting in the
municipal court this morning and it
was largely through the testimony of
the young woman that he was held
FOR trial in the circuit court on
charges Of attempted murder. He re-
turned to the county Jail, the court
declining to fix any bond in the case.
If there ever had been any roman
tic attachment between the girl ard
the accused man, she failed to show
it in court this morning and she told
the story Of the shooting without any
interest in the outcome Of the case so
far as Ku.nilowitz was concerned. He
personally cross examined the wit
nesses at the hearing, but he RETAINED
from seeking to get any further IL
formation than the woman had given
on the direct examination. The girl
told practically the same story she had
told to the district attorney on a
former occasion. She asserted that
there had been no cause for the shoot
ing and that she had not suspected
trouble. The girl showed no desire to
shield the accused man in any way.
kurniloWitz had taken the stand and
asw svs1 4sasas his sailnre ia rersq,,s her
anything in connection with the
events of the night. He did not de-
ny the shooting, but simply plead q
lapse of memory.
The story of the girl was subatau-
tiated in part by Patronella Happen
witch and Amelia Remanowski, who
had been with Miss Antonowicz at
the time of the shooting. Neither of
the girls had seen the shot fred as
when the man drew the revolver they
retreated to clothes closet and did
not come out Of the closet until after
Kurnilowitz had left the house. They
testified that they had heard the
threats made against the life of til
young woman. One surprise for
Kurnilowitz was sprung by District
Attorney Drury when he called Joseph
Adamovich to the stand. An hour af-
ter the shooting according to the story
told by 1his witness Kurnilowitz had
calmly entered the home of the wit
ness and had declared that he had shot
the young woman. Adamovich had
disarmed KurniloWtiz and had aided
the police officers in bringing about
his arrest.
It is declared that the accused man
may later decide to plead guilty
to the charges against him, but he
showed no intention of taking such
action at the hearing this morning
and gave the officials to understan
that he would contest any effort to
convict him on charges Of attempted
murder.

BIG REDUCTIONS THE RULE
New Rates Will Go into Effect When
They Have Been Adopted by Local
Insurance Board-Rate Docs not AT
fecs Residence Property in any way.

The Wisconsin Inspection Bureau
which has charge of the making of adj
visory rates for all insurance business
in Wisconsin on Tuesday sent to the
agents in Kenosha new advisory rates
which are to cover all brick and flame
mercantile risks in the city and under
this new rate there will be many
changes in the rates now charged OF
this class Of risks. The new rates will
be acted on by the local insurance men
at meeting to be held on Friday
evening and it is expected that they
will be adopted. The coming of these
new rates is a direct acknowledgment
of what Keuosha has done to give th5
city proper fire protection and re-.
duction in rates has been given for
nearly every building in the city used
for mercantile purposes. in some cas- $
the rate has been reduced as much as
fifty per cent and the reductions range
from ten to fifty per cent. But two
buildings in the whole mercantile list
have been given an increase in rates.
One of these has been advanced about
five per cent and the other is given
even . smaller increase.
One Of the leading insurance men Of
the city when seen this morning said:
1.-THE coming Of this new advisory
rate was something Of surprise to
MS. There had been no special demand
for q re-rating Of the mercantile prep
erty in the city, but Of course some
of these rates were not satisfactory
The bureau seems to have taken great
care in making the inspection of Kel
nosha property. There was some proo,
erty that was ovel-rated in Kenosh
and some of it was moderated. The
change in the rates if accepted by the
local board and they will undoubte
ly be accepted, will make a big reduc-
tion in insurance premiums paid in tha
down town district of the city 1t
should he distinctly understood that
this new rating does not in any way
affect residence property nor does it
apply to any Of the so-called factory
risks. 1t is possible that soma new
advisory rate for this class of proper
ty will be offered later, but. at tn !,
present time the inspection bureqd has
given no notice OF such change. IL
is Impossible to give all TIE clements
that have entered into this new rate
making. The buildings of the city are
Of a better class than they were n
past years and the fire department has
been materially strengthened. An ex
animation of the fire loss in Kenosha
during the past few years viii show
that Kenosha is in line for as favor
able rate as is being granted to "
cities of the size in the country. The
change in the rates will be made prob
ably within the next thirty days id
all business written will be under tnis
new rate. !"
The rating is made for each indivi !
ual building used for mercantile pur-
poses and the agent Of every insuran. )
company represented in Kenosha has
been given copy of the new rates.

Store of Late Frank Bode Is
Purchased by Werye Fur
niture Company Today.
WILL Be MADE A MODEL STORE

Charles B. Werve, formerly one of
the assistant managers Of the n. r.
Allen S Sons Company, has entered the
mercantile trade in Keposha as late
Tuesday afternoon he tick possess iou
of the big furniture store on Park
street, formerly owned by the Frank
S. Bode Company. Since the death of
Frank S. Bode some months ago the
store has been under the management
of the widow, but with the deal closed
on Tuesday Mrs. Bode retires entirely
from the management of the concern
and disposes of all of her interest in
the stock aud business of the company.
The building is not made part of
the transfer. No statement has been
given out as to the consideration in
the sale Of the stock and business, but
the price is said to be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
Mr.. WeIve was in full charge of the
business this morning. At the present
time no change will be made in the
employees of the company and the
business will be continued under tBe
same policy outlined by the former
proprietor.
The Frank S. Bode store was one
of the oldest establishments of nc
kind in Kenosha., 1t was established
in 1905 and since that time it has bean
popular as a trading place in Kenosha.
Under the new management the store
will be known as "The Werve Furn;.
ture Company"
At the store this morning Mr..
Werve was busy arranging The
business. II am planning to make
this store one of the best furniture
stores in the middle west" he said
- It will be modern in every way. All
four floors Of the building win be
used for the display of furniture and
allied lines and we plan to give TIC
people of kenosha the best selection
Of furniture, carpets and rugc to be
found anywhere in Wisconsin. The
Bode stock has always been one Of the
largest in the state and this reputation
will be kept under the new mann ~
ment. In short time we will have an
important announcement to make 20
the people as to the future policy CT
the store. We plan to give the people
the best possible service in our lire
and we hope TO merit their confidence.

Nichols was always there, doing
his share, and more. In these
five years the kid" pitched 222
games, of which he won 156,
giving him the wonderful aver
age of .702.
In the early eos baseball was
a rough and rowdy game. The
Tebeaus, the McGraws, the Bur-
ketts and the Kellys were in the
ascendent, and Baltimore, Cleve-
land and Pittsburg were espe-
cially hard teams to handle.
Players surged about the umpires,
questioning every other decision,
but Nichols was at all times quiet
and orderly until play was resum-
ed, when he quickly retired the
batter.
The best batters were clay In
the hands of Nichols when he
was In his prime. No matter
how rough or unruly they were,
the Players always respected
Nichols as a man and as a pitch
er.
Behind the kid" on the. old
Boston team were Tom Tucker,
Herman Long, Bobby Lowe, Hugh
Duffy, Tom Mccarthy, "King'
Kelly, Charlie Camel, Charlie
Bennett, Stivetts and Stafey.
Some baseball team, folks!
Nichols was as great a pitcher
IN his day as Matthewson, Bender.
Walsh, Joe Wood, or any star of
today. He did everything they
90, equally as we'll, and he faced
more great batters than the stars
are now called upon to meet.

succeeded in landing several good
lefts on Koepkey's gloves and just
about then he decided that a nicer
spot than the mat would be hard
to find.

program was almost as short as
the main event. "Foxey" Miller,

over that he did not want to fight
