ORDERED SENT TO HOSPITAL
Visit of the Stork Threatens TO Inter
rupt Court Proceedings But Woman
Is Held For Trial at the Next Term
Of the Municipal Court.
lFrom Wednesday Daily

The municipal court room was con-
verted into hospital at the noon hour
today when Mrs. Rose Matzi, who had
been before the court for a preliminary
hearing on charges of shop lifting, be-
came hysterical. Her condition became
SO serious that physicians We're called
to the court room and an hour after
the hearing had been disposed Of the
woman was still in semi-conscious
condition and physicians declared that
she was in no condition to be taken
to the county Jail. Later Judge Ran
dali ordered the woman removed to
the Kenosha hospital for treatment
Mrs. Matzi is in an interesting con-
dition and the physicians who attend
ed her following her fainting in court,
declared that they feared that the ex-
element attending the hearing would
bring a premature visit of the stork.
The young woman had seemed to be
highly nervous during the hearing, but
it was not until after the court had
handed down a decision holding her
for trial at the next team of the muni-
cipal court that she collapsed In a
minute DR.. McCracken was called to
the court room and he remained in at
tendance on the woman until after one
O'Clock this afternoon and then gave
orders that size be removed to the hos
pital. The woman had been arrested
several days ago on charges of shop
lifting. 1t was alleged that she had
secured merchandise to the value of
nearly a hundred dollars from a dozen
different stores in the city. The woman
did not take the stand in her own de-
Tense and her attorney made no OBJ
lection to her being held for trial The
court fixed the bonds Of the woman at
$500 but her husband was unable to
furnish them and it was when she was
being led away to the county jail to
await trial that the collapse came. The
attack was similar to the one the won
an had at the time Of her arrest sew
eral days ago.
In the meantime the police had been
investigating the former life of the
woman at Scranton, Pa, and Chief
O'Hare has received messages which
indicated that the husband of the won.
an was wanted in the Pennsylvania
city, but it was stated in the message
received that the charge made against
him there was not an extraditable Of
Tense. The facts in regard to the Of
Tense charged against the husband
have not been made public. The hus-
Rand has made every possible effort to
secure bail for the woman and it was
declared this morning that the three
children Of the woman were suffering
as q result of her long absence.

ten years was in business in Wauke-
gan. He came to Kenosha in 1900 and

CHILD MAY Be ABANDONED
Man Claimed to be From Chicago and
Hired Out to Work For Eldora Hor-
ton of Bristol to Secure Home For
Himself and Motherless Boy.
[From Wednesdays Dailyl


Eldora Horton, prominent farmer
of the town of Bristol had five year
old boy wished on him this after
noon according to the story told by him
to the police department and late this
afternoon the police are securing the
city searching for the man who is sup
posed to be the father of the boy. The
boy, a bright lad of five years, seemed
to be entirely satisfied to remain with
the daughter of Horton and he was
decidedly uncommunicative. Horton
declared to the police that he was con-
WINGED by the actions of the man and
the little information that he had Sc.
cured from the boy that the man had
made a deliberate effort to abandon
the boy. The little fellow declared to
the police that his name was Williams
son and that he lived far far away.
This was the extent of the informa-
ton that could be secured from his
childish prattle However, he showed
a lot of knowledge of things about
Kenosha and the police were inclined
to believe that the boy and his father
were both residents of this city.
Horton was at the Erickson barn
early this afternoon when the man, well
dressed and seemingly very much in
earnest approached him and offered to
hire cut for the winter. He declared
that his wife had died recently leaving
him with the five year old boy and that
he wanted to get home for himself
and the boy during the winter months.
The man declared to Horton that he
came from Chicago. Horton hired the
man and the fellow at once turned the
boy over to Horton IS daughter, stating
that he wanted to go to the store and
get pair of overalls and some UNDER
wear for the child. This was just after
one O'Clock and up to three O'Clock the
man had not returned and the strictest
search of the police failed to find any
trace of him. Horton called on the
police just after two 0 clock and de-
clared that he could not take the boy
without he got the father too.
The boy was taken in hand by Chief
o Hare and Assistant Chief Newhouse
and he told the officers that his mother
was not dead but that she worked in a
shop. lie said that he had come to
/" Nenosa" last night and showed con-
siderable pride In new cap and new
pair of mittens which his father had
bought him. The case proved a real
puzzle to the police. They searched
tie saloons, but found absolutely moth
ing of the man who had represented
himself as the father of the boy. Hor-
ton frequently declared that he felt
certain that the man had taken train
out of the city leaving the boy TO the
tender mercies of strangers. The puz.
zle is still unsolved.
