MISS CLARA MUssELMAN DEAD.
Well Known Young Woman Dies at Ke-
nosha Hospital Monday Night.

Miss Clara Musselman, aged 35 years
and formerly an employee of the Ke-
nosha Evening News died at the Keno
sha Hospital just after eleven clock
Monday evening following an opera
tion for peritoneal abscess. She had
been taken to the hospital week ago
and her ailment. had proven something
of puzzle to the physicians attending
her. It was decided to drain the alb
scess on Monday morning. Death fol-
lowed from shock.
Miss Musselman was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. T. Musselman and she
was born at Byron, H., on Jan. 2, 1879.
Her mother the sole surviving member
of the family was with her when death
came. Miss Musselman came to Keno
sha eight years ago and since that time
she had been employed almost continu-
ously in the offices of the Kenosha Ev-
ening News. She was a young woman
Of cheerful disposition and great fav-
orite among her friends. The announce
ment of her death will come as great
shock to many friends as few had
known of her serious illness
The remains were removed to the
Rutledge & Crossin undertaking par
loTs where they will remain until Wed.
nesday morning after which they will
be taken to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. Fl. Larrabee on Park Row.

LOCAL POLITICIANS ARE WARY
Decline to Circulate Papers for hide
pendent and Take No Interest in the
Campaign Being Waged in His Be
Half-Hold Candidacy is Ill Starred.

John J. Blaine of Boscobel, Indepen-
dent candidate for governor is seeking
support for his candidacy in Kenosha
county and today six letters came to
men who have been considered leaders
in the progressive eauseo urging
them to get papers in circulation for
Blaine at once. Six letters went back
to Blaine before noon containing six
sets of unsigned petitions Local poll
ticians did not seem to have any spec
ial desire to get in on the rump candi-
dacy of the Boscobel man. In the let
ters sent to this county the men to
whom they were sent were urged to Sc
cure five names each and to have the
papers in Madison by Thursday. Next
Saturday is the last day for the filing
of petitions for Independent candidates
and it is evident that some of the
Blaine advisers are little doubtful as
to whether or not it will be possible
to find thousand men in the state
who are willing to go ON record as fav-
oring rump candidacy for governor.
Blaine is not known in this county ex-
cept to few men who have been ac-
tive in politics in the past few years
and these men have not paid a great
deal of attention to him. They have
known him as political mal-content
and for this reason they have paid lit
tie pr no attention to his proposed in
dependent candidacy for governor. One
}bf the men who received the petitions
jim Kenosha said: II don It know how
this fellow ever thought that, I would
be willing to circulate petitions for
him. | know him and know him well
yand il is probable that because / know
him do not desire to have anything
to do with his candidacy"
Others in Kenosha county evidently
took the same view of the matter and
it is declared that ALI the petitions were
sent back unsigned.

WOULD LOCATE HERE.
Nussbaum Piano Co. of Joliet, Ill, is
Seeking Place to Locate Plant Here.

Edward Dayton was down at Joliet,
Illinois, on Sunday and while he was
there he discovered that the Nrssbaum
Piano company of that city was desir-
Gus of moving its plant to Kenosha. A
telegram from Dayton this morning
urged the Kenosha people to get busy
and seek to secure the location of the
factory. The factory is new concern,
but at the present time it is employing
fifty men and the chance for large
increase in the number Of employees
seems to be good. AS yet no formal
steps have been taken by any of the
Kenosha organizations to secure the
factory, but it is expected that officials
of some of these organizations will get
in touch with the officials of the COM
pany at once.

FOUND HOUR AFTER ACCIDENT
Had Suffered Terribly From Loss Of
Blood and Surgeons at Hospital In
sist on Immediate Amputation of
Both of Nelson S Limbs to Save Life.

James Nelson, aged twenty-seven
years, a Kenosha man, residing at C5
Grogan street, was terribly mangled
under the wheels of a freight train at
the sixteenth street crossing of the
Chicago and North Western road in
Racine on last Saturday and he is now
lingering between life and death at st.
Mary's hospital in Racine. Both of
his legs were cut off by the train and
Nelson was almost dead from shock
and loss of blood when be was found
nearly an hour after the accident.
Nelson had been employed by the
Wisconsin Telephone Company in Ra-
cine and it is declared that he had
a custom of returning to his home in
Kenosha late in the evening and many
times he found it difficult to get car.
1t is thought that he attempted to
board the train at the Sixteenth street
crossing and that it was running so
fast that he was drawn under the
wheels and crushed. Nelson at the hos
pital this morning stated that he had
been struck at the Fourteenth street
crossing and dragged for two blocks.
He declared that after he had been in
jured he crawled some forty feet to a
pill of iron at the side of the Higgins
Spring Company's plant and he was
laying on this pile of iron when he
was found by one of the watchmen DC
the company on Saturday evening. AT
the hospital an investigation showed
that the right leg had been crushed
above the knee and the left one just
below the knee. The surgeons held
that it was necessary to amputate both
of the legs in an effort to save the
life of Nelson. The young man stood
the operation well, but he was very
weak on Sunday and at the hospital
this morning it was declared that his
condition was serious.
Nelson was formerly employed by
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany in this city, but he had been
working for the Racine company for
the past two months. Relatives of the
injured man went to Racine on Sunday
afternoon and they were entirely salts
fed that everything possible was be-
ing done for him. Nelson is unmarried
and he had lived with his mother at
the Grogan street address.

SHOULDER CRUSHED IN FALL
The HORSE Trampled on Head Of Prone
Man and Portion Of His Right Ear
Was Gut Off Submits to x-Ray Ex-
animation at Hospital This Morning.

M. F. Barber, former chief Of police
OF the city and now deputy sheriff,
met terrible injuries at Ideal Park on
Sunday afternoon and as result hs
will probably be marked for life. Bar
Der was run down by a race horse and
trampled. His left shoulder was
crushed and physicians who have been
in attendance are not certain whether
the bones have been broken or if the
thill of the cart punctured the joint.
Barber had portion of his right car
tramped off by the horse and was
terribly bruised.
Deputy Barber had gone to Russell,
ILL.,, on Sunday afternoon to aid in
keeping order at the race meet at Ideal
Park and he had been, busy at the
track for an hour before the accident.
The drivers were trying out the horses
and the big crowd had insisted on get
ting out on the track and Barber had
been busy putting the men off the
track, Two men, one of them under
the influence of liquor, caused lot of
trouble for the deputy and he had
been arguing with the fellow just be-
fore the accident. Barber was stand
ing on the side of the track with this
man when he saw "Babe Lynch, -
driven by William Phalen coming at a
fast rate of speed. Barber gave the
man push which sent him sprawhng
over into the crowd which lined the
side of the track, but he could not get
out of the way himself. The horse
coming at the high rate of speed bore
him down on the track and trampled
him. Phalen was unable to stop the
horse in time to prevent the accident,
but as Barber was struck he pulled in
on the lines and as soon as possible the
horse was stopped.
Barber lay unconscious on the track
bleeding from half dozen terrible
bruises on his head and face and his
left arm was disabled. Nearly one
third of his right ear had been cut off
when the horse stepped on him. Bar
Der was hurried from the track and lat
er brought to the city by DR.. j. J. Nc
Shane, who was passing the track at
the time of. the accident. He was TAX
en- to the Kenosha hospital for an ex-
animation. This morning an X-Ray ex-
animation of the shoulder was made
and later Barber was taken to his
home on Market street
It is impossible for the physicians to
tell the exact extent Of his injuries,
but it is thought that he will be laid
up for many weeks as a result of
the accident.

AUTO STRIKES TREE.
F. Larsen Forced to Choose Between
Three Evils on Sunday Morning.

Fred Larsen, well known contractor,
was forced to decide and decide quick
ly on Sunday morning as to which was
the most advisable-to run an ANTONIO
bile into a street car, into farmer s
buggy or into a tree. He took the
latter course as the one seeming to Of
fer the least danger and as a result
his automobile was damaged, but he
and his children escaped without seri-
Gus injury. The accident happened on
Elizabeth street just off of West street.
Larsen was driving east. He got the
idea that he was following the street
car when he whirled into the street,
but in second he found that the car
was approaching him and that between
him and the car was farmer s buggy.
In, second Larsen appreciated that
all of the vehicles could not occupy
the street at once. He had with him
in the automobile his two daughters
and w. T. Marx and when the auto
mobile hit the tree with considerable
violence the two little girls were
thrown up against the wind shield. The
wind shield was broken and one of
them was slightly injured. The farm
er's buggy was also, scraped by the
automobile and one of the wheels was
pulled off it. The Larsen automobile
was not so badly damaged that it
could not get away under it's own pow
err, but it will have to go to the repair
shop. It was declared that the injured
girls were in no way seriously hurt and
the driver escaped without injury

Observations on the Side.
The pilot car was commonly spoken
Of as the fparlor carr before the trip

Prof. Trenary was so pleased with
the dinner at Salem that he made it his
chief topic in his talks in the different

A Jeffrey Quad truck was the chief
item Of interest at Twin Lakes. The

The reception given by the school

New Munster and Wheatland were

London. Oct. 10-The German oc-
cupation of Antwerp may have inter
national consequences even more i'm
portant than the military results,
great as the latter undoubtedly are.
Predictions, indeed, are being made
that the present events will mark
the beginning of a new phase in the
great European struggle, that is, the
active participation in war of several
of the smaller nations.
"A minister of neutral state of
world wide experience who has just
arrived in London after visiting both
Belgium and Holland. states that
there exists considerable misappre-
hensipn in England regarding Dutch
feeling in regard to the war. Hol-
land, me says, far from being as rep
resented here, divided in sentiment
| is wholly and entirely on the side OF
1.-THE allies except for a small, unim-
portant clique.
There is no hatred of Germany
but there is undoubted fear and sus-
picion of Prussian miIitarism, he
says, and settled conviction that il
Germany should win, Holland S in.
dependence would speedily become
an empty sham. Dutch statesman
according to my information, fully
realize the situation and very little
influence would he required to in.
duce them to cast in their lot with
the allies.
In some quarters 1t is argued that
the psychological moment when Hol
lands well-trained little army Of
l250,000 men which can he increased
to $50, 900 could be most effectively
! employed is not far away, even il
