Parents of Charley Piroseh
Ready to Turn Him Over
to Some Other People.
BOY SUFFERS IN HOSPITAL

Charley Pirosch, the little nine year
old boy, who was burned on Monday
noon by the premature explosion of a
frecracker, is at the Kenosha hospital.
He was taken to the hospital this
morning by James Ii. Karnes, humane
society agent, and he is being cared
for by the humane agent. The night
by fireworks the boy was allowed to
sleep in wood shed at the Pirosch
home on Caledonia and Lemon streets
and the parents of the boy have de-
clared that they are anxious to dispose
of him. The mother of the boy has
declared to Agent Karnes that she de-
sires to dispose of the boy and she is
willing to give the little sufferer to
some one who will take him and raise
him. County Agent Karnes went to
the Pirosch home and took possession
of the little boy on account of the
complaint made by the neighbors who
asserted that he was in need of care
full nursing if his life was to be saved
The agent had long talk with the
mother Of the boy and finding that
she was taking little interest in the
case he took the boy to the hospital,
Charley, the boy, is bright little
foreigner and he has been a pupil at
the Weiskopf school. Mrs. III. NJ. Nc
Kenzie, principal of the school, has
taken a great interest in the little
fellow and she is CONVINCED that he
has the making of real boy and a
real man if he were only given proper
care. Agent Karnes will take the
mother at her word and seek to find
some one who will take the boy and
give him good home. The little fell
low is suffering terribly from burns on.
his arm and face and chest, but it
is thought that he will recover in a
short time under the care given him
at the hospital.

mo REVOLvERs TO Be USED
Carrying Revolver on Independence
Day is Liable to Bring Fine of
Fifty Dollars and Costs-Dealers Aid
in Securing Sane 4th in Kenosha.

chief of Police O'Hare has notified
the members of the police department
that the celebration of the 4th of July
in this city this year must be a safe
and sane one and that every one OF
the laws of the state and the ordinances
of the city must be enforced The deal
ers in fire works have all been warned
against the selling of certain sorts of
fire works and most of the dealers have
refused to stock anything prohibited by
law. Some of the prohibited fire works
have been ordered by other citizens but
if they are found they viii be promptly
confscated by the chief and his men.
There will be no use of revolvers in
celebrating the fourth in Kenosha and
any man found carrying revolver
will be liable to a fine of $50 and the
costs of the action. There is nothing
in the Declaration of independence that
gives right to carry fire arms aud the
police will see to it that every man OF
boy in the city who carries a revolver
is arrested under the regular law
against carrying concealed weapons.
Premature celebration of the nation (
birthday is the surest way to get into
the municipal court on charges of dis
turbance and the chief has declared
that the celebration Of the fourth will
not begin in Kenosha until Friday
morning and that it must cease on
Friday night. Officers have been mott
fed to keep close watch and cause
the arrest of any person who seeks to
start. something before the day set fo1
the celebration.
The Boy Scouts of the city have ten
dered their services to the mayor to aid
in securing enforcement Of the city or
dinance providing for a sane observance
of the Fourth of July and reports from
the Scouts will be promptly acted on
by the police department. Last year
Kenosha got away with celebration
of the fourth with but four burned
children. Already one boy has been in
iured in the premature celebrations in
TIE city this year and the police will
make an effort to safeguard the rest
of the children.
The movement to have the day oh,
served strictly in keeping with the pro
visions of the laws Of the state and the
ordinances of the city has the hearty
support of the people of the whole
city.

MINAR GETS DECREE.
Hungarian is Granted Divorce but Fans
to Get Custody of -Four Children.

In the circuit court on Tuesday aft
ernoon Judge Belden handed down a
formal decree of divorce in the suit OF
Stefan Minar against his wife RATHER
ina Minar. The suit has been pending
in the circuit court for more than a
year and efforts have been made to
make the fullest investigation of the
case. Mrs. Minar is in Hungary and
it is claimed by her husband that she
had refused to come to this country
after he provided home for her. The
life of Minar in this country has moi;
been above reproach and the court re-
fused to grant his request for the Gus
tody of the four miner children who are
now with their mother The order of
the court makes no provision for the
care of the children aud the decree
does not become absolute until the end
of a year, it being understood that the
wife may reopen the case at any time
during this period.

BLAMEs WATER THIEVES.
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Co. has a
New Excuse for Poor Service.

The Wisconsin Gas and Electric
Company has a new excuse for poor
service on the part Of the central
heating plant and it is now claimed
that the failure Of the service is due
to a large extent to the thefts of water
from the mains. Agents of the company
insist that during the winter months
many people open the radiators and
use them to supply hot water and in
this way SO much water is used that it
is impossible tt keep the water in the
mains at temperature to furnish heat.
1t is probable that this will be one Of
the arguments used by the company in
urging a defense to the complaint
made against the service which was
heard by the railroad commission
today.

LIGHT COMPLAINT WITHDRAWN
Commissioner Harlow Listens to Com
plants on Time Worn Cars and has
Engineers of Commission Make al
Examination of the Rolling Stock.


Wisconsin Railroad COMMISSION, came
to Kenosha this morning to hear the
multiplied complaints of the city Of
Kenosha against the Wisconsin Gas
aud Electric Company, The Kenosha
Electric Railway Company and allied
companies. The hearing was an abb
breviated one and was limited almost
entirely to evidence in regard to the
insuiiciency of the rolling stock now
in use on the lines of the Kenosha
Electric Railway Company. The sec
ond complaint of the city against
lighting conditions was withdrawn as
it was shown that the company had
to great extent removed the cause Of
complaint. The city insisted, however,
on putting in evidence to show that
the complaint was not frivolous
one and that it was made in good
faith by the city.
The attack was directed especially
against the time worn and time hon
ored cars in use on the lines of the
local street railway and City Attorney
Slater put on dozen witnesses to
show that these ears were out of date,
Improperly heated, improperly ven
tilated and much of the time entirely
too small to accommodate the traffic
IN Keuosba evidence WAS a,so takeit
10 show how repeated promises had
been made by the various men in con-
troll of the property to bring new cars
to the city. 1t was shown that none
of these promises had been Kept after
the formal complaint Of the city was
filed with the commission. People who
were not officially interested in the
city told of crowded and poorly heated
cars and objected strenuously to Ke-
nosha being made a junk yard for ears
which had served out their good time
In some other city.
Manager Stearn3 was the only wit
ness called by the railway company.
He asserted that no promises had ever
been made in regard to rolling stock
in the city and held that the ears now
here were sufficient to take care of the
traffic, He held that the cars were
satisfactory to the people when the
company took over the business of the
Kenosha Electric Railway Company
He told of the two new payas-you-
enter cars and declared that sufficient
number of these ears to take care OF
the traffic on all the lines would be
sent to Kenosha by the end of the
next two months Mr.. Stearns stated
that any agreements made by the
managers of the former company to
furnish new cars to the city were not
taken over by the present owners OF
the property
Two engineers of the state commits
sion We're in the city to make an ex.
animation of the cars and this ex-
animation and report will be made a
part of the evidence in the case
The complaint against the heating
service Of the company was not gcte
