j. r. Allen, president Of the Lords
burg Telephone Company, which, by
the way, is not Incorporated, in a
published statement, admits that the
statement made in the LIBERAL Is
correct; that he had refused TO con-
meet with the Mountain States com
pany on the same contract that this
company makes with all independent
companies with which 1t makes con-
nectlon. II the Mountain States
company made any other contract It
would violate the interstate commerce
law, and subject both itself and Mr..
Allen to the penalties for such viola
ton. Mr.. Allen goes further than
did the LIBERAL, and ~confesses he
endeavored to induce the Mountain
States company to violate the law,
and admits the company rejected his
advance and refused to violate the
law. The difference cannot be a very
large one in dollars, although 1t Is
large In principal, for Mr.. Allen
agreed to make the connection for
the muniicent sum OF s17 so. Several
times since the long distance phones
were taken out the LIBERAL has been
urged to start a b~oycotting crusade
against the local exchange to force IL
to seek connection with the long dis
lance wires, but always refused, for
Il does not believe in the boycott. It
50 told those who asked It to urge the
boycott, but told them II, as indivi.
duals, the telephone was of no value
without the long distance connection,
70 order their own phone out, telling
the exchange the reason Il was order
ed out, but urged them to walt. and
perhapes we would get the necessary
connection. 1t again urges them TO
wait until the corporation commits
sion has q chance TO offer It's good
services.

scHMITT BROTHERS TOUCHED.
Till in Well Known Main st. Buffet
Touched for $500 in Change.

The police are making an effort to
get some trace of an unknown man,
who concealed himself in the Schmitr
Brothers buffet on Main street on
Sunday night and who Is charged with
having touched the money drawer IN
the place. He got away with some-
thing like two dollars in small change
John Schmitt had been in charge Of
the place on Sunday evening and it
seems that when he closed up at eight
O'Clock the man in question had hid
den himself in the saloon. Schmitt
had occasion to go back to the place
late in the evening and found the man
sleeping in chair He hurriedly put
the man out and then made an investi
cation which showed that tbs money
drawer had been robbed. BY this
time the man had awakened sufficiently
to get away and the police have not
been able to find him. It is said that
the man is well known about the city
and he will probably be arrested later
in the day.

POLICE At CHURCH
False Alarm Takes Police
Officers and Sheriff to tue
Italian Church Sunday.
FAILED TO LAND SUSPECTS J! !.

The search for the three Italians
m rider is causing all sorts of unusual
stunts in Kenosha, but the most I'M
usual of the lot was pulled off on Sun
day morning when a posse of police
officers and deputy sheriffs arrayed in
their best bib and tucker attended the
services Of the Holy Rosary Church.
1t was just after the bells for church
had rung that Sheriff Achen received
a telephone message from an Italian
deputy declaring that the two men 50
eagerly sought were attending church
at the Italian church. Sheriff Aehen3
lost no time and he notified the police
Office and aid was freely furnished.
-Four Of the city police officers in citi-
zen S clothes and the sheriff with
number of his deputies dressed for
church went hurrying to the church.
The entrance Of the officers caused
something Of sensation. The men
entered the church and remained until
the end of the service and took close
look at every one at church and found
that their trip to the church had been
a wild goose chase. There was nozex-.
cuse for the call of the deputy. How
ever, the police officers and the sheriff
are not kicking as they hold that it.
was perfectly proper for them to at
tend the church services during the
lenten season. The ca Use of the alarm.
has not as yet been discovered, but it
is certain that the men. suspected were
in no way connected with the Milwau-
kee crime, all Of them being. well
known in Kenosha.

IS IN WRONG AGAIN
Carl Fechner Widely Known
Here Held at LaPorte,
Ind, as an Imposter.
CLAIMED PART OF ESTATE
Is 9v


Carl Fechner, one time resident of
Kenosha, but more recently a Racine
man, is being held at LaPorte, Ind,
as an imposter. Fechner went to La
Porte some time ago claiming that he
was Otto Buck, son of former.
wealthy man lfacturer Of that city and
sought to establish his claim for an
estate valued at 100000 Il is de-
clared that Fechner is insane and this
fact is carried out by stories of the
former working of the man shown by
documents in the office of Attorney
Calvin Stewart here. The Kenosha at
torney had appeared as attorney for
Fechner in a former case in which he
had sought to secure possession Of ali
estate valued at 100000 and left by
a Pittsburg man. At that time the
man claimed to be Carl White, the sou
Of Pittsburg man and Attorney
Stewart went to Pittsburg and sought
to secure the estate for him. AS soon
as Stewart reached Pittsburg and
started an investigation of the case
he saw that the claims made by Fech-
ner were false, but he managed to get
him out Of jail and sent him back to
Racine. Fechner1 seems to have had a
mania for claiming estates of deceased
persons and it is said that ! he has
change dhis name at least three times
in the past few years. It is probable
that the man will be released as he is
regarded as harmless
Attorney Stewart declares that he
has had no part in the LaPorte case
started by Fechner. kilograms from
LaPorte declare that the demand for
the Buck estate was fled by a Keno
sha lawyer, but none Of the local at
torneys admit any connection with the
case.

JURY FINDS ACCIDENTAL DEATH
Man Had Been at Work But Two Days
and Is Said to Have Been Intoxicat-
ed at Time of Fall-Physician Found
Man Sustained Fracture of Skull.

John Sullivan, aged 48 years and .
Chicago man, met instant death just
after 70 II O'Clock Saturday afternoon
when he fell from a runway at the
plant Of the Thompson Ice Co., on
Twin Lakes He struck on the ground
and the fall was sufficient to fracture
his skull. The man was dead when
other wo1kmen of the company reach
ed him.
Sullivan had been employed on the
Kenosha county lakes less than three
days. He had come out from Chicago
on Wednesday and went to work on
Thursday morning. At the time of the
accident he appeared to be under the
influence Of liquor, but he insisted on
continuing his work for the company.
The gang of men had been engaged n
taking ice from the lake up the run
way into the ice ho use and Sullivan
had been put to work at the top Of
the runway. He showed no incapacity
for work At the time. of the accident
the machinery for handling the ice
had been shut down and Sullivan was
leaning against the side of the run
way. Without any warning to the
other men in the gang Sullivan plung-
ed head first from the top of the run
way. 1t was twenty-eight feet to the
ground below. Dr. Foster of Twin
Lakes, was called at once, but he de-
5clared that the man had been instant
ly killed.
Justice H. T. Hofner Of New Mum
ster, held an inquest over the remains
and a verdict Of accidental death was
returned by the jury. The remains Of
the man were buried at Twin Lakes on
Sunday. Efforts to find any Of the
relatives of the man were without eff
feet. Sullivan had been employed by
the ice company through one of the
Chicago employment agencies and this
agency could give nothing in regard
to the former life of the man or his
family.
The death of Sullivan is the first to
be reported in connection with the ice
harvest in Kenosha county. The
Thompson company was not in any way
blamed for the accident by the jury
which investigated the death of the
man and it was the opinion of the
members Of the jury that the man was
intoxicated and had lost his balance
and fell to death.
In former years the ice cutting sea-
soon has been accompanied by a CON
siderable loss Of life, but iii recent
years the companies have been putting
in safety devices to protect the men
so that loss of life in the handling of
the ice is well nigh impossible. 1T Is
customary to have number of drown
ing accidents during the season, but
no accidents along this line have been
reported this year.

mons Manufacturing Company took
twe special cars to Milwaukee in ORD il

tween the Office force and the factory
foremen of the plant. Zach depart
Inent was represented by q team Of
twenty-four men and it was impossible
to find alleys large enough in Keno
sha to accommodate the bowlers. Ter
ry's alleys in Milwaukee were select
ed and for three hours the Simmons
men kept the pins dropping. At the
end of that time there was dispute
as to just how the game actually finish
ed and expert auditors havesGeen put to
work on the scores. The Office mell
claim to have won by margin of one
pin while the factory foremen are just
as insistent that they led the opposi-
ton by two pins. After the bowling
match was over the entire company

Hotel Maryland and covers were laid
for more than a Kindred and fifty.

Every report issued by the muni-
cipal court shows the usefulness of the
court and increases the Wonderment
that the city was willing to get along
for so many years under the old JUS
tice shop system. The court is self
supporting already and in time will
turn in much more money to the
county than it costs to maintain it,
but that is the least of the benefits
it confers on the community The
wide usefulness of the court is shown
in the annual report just forwarded to
Madison of the number and kind Of
cases handled in the court during the
past year. The list includes about
every crime on the statute books COW
cred by the powers of the court and it
is not exaggerating in the slightest to
say that the cases were handled more
expeditiously, with more exact Justice
to the unfortunates brought to the
bar, and with less expense to the
county than they could have been
handled in any other way.
