SEMI CENTENNIAL OF BIG FIGHT.
Battle of Franklin, Tenn, Was Fought
Fifty Years Ago Today.

Veterans of the civil war in Kenosha
today were recalling the historic bat
tie Of Franklin, Tenn, which was
fought just fifty years ago today. One
Kenosha soldier, Oscar Rector, was en-
gagged in the great battle. After Gen
eral Sherman had started his famous
march to the sea General Hood in com
mand of one of the confederate forces
started north to reach the Ohio River
with an army Of forty thousand men.
He was pursuing General Thomas of
the union forces with but twenty thous-
and in two corps General Thomas and
his men managed to make the en-
trenchments rat Franklin, Tenn, and
there one of the bloodiest battles of
the civil war was fought. The battle
continued until 1850 had been killed,
1000 wounded and 700 captured from
the confederate forces, while the union
army lost 1S9 killed, 1888 wounded and
1104 were reported as missing. Mr..
Rector had many interesting remini-
sences to tell of the great fight.

Kenosha and Racine Beet
Growers to Receive S. per
Ton for Product in 1915.
ANNUAL MEETING At CORLIss

Racine and Kenosha county raisers
of sugar beets are to receive fifty cents
more a ton for their product in 1915
than they received this season as at the
annual meeting of the Racine Kenosha
County Beet Growers association held
at Corliss ON Saturday afternoon final
action was taken to close up the con-
tracts with the Wisconsin Sugar Beet
company of Milwaukee for the output
Of the farms in the two counties for
the coming season. Representatives of
both this company and the Pope COM
pany of Riverdale, ILL.,, were present
at the meeting. The Wisconsin repre-
sentative offered price of Sc per ton
with contract practically the came
as the one offered the farmers in 1914
and the association voted almost unani-
mously to accept this proposition. One
hundred and twenty five members of
the association were present at the an
nual meeting. 1t is probable that the
Pope company viii offer the same price
for the beets later in the year, but it is
thought that practically all of the mem
bers of The association will sign con-
tracts with the Milwaukee concern in
keeping with the decision at the meet
ing on Saturday. The seed for the
coming season is to be supplied by the
Milwaukee company at a price of ff-
teen cents a pound, the same as was
charged in 1914.
The meeting was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings of
farmers ever held anywhere in the two
counties. The association elected the
same directors as have served SO well
during the past year and the following
officers were named:
President-A. J. Piper of Berryville
Vice President-E. Lamberton OF
Ives.
Secretary Treasurer-John Herzog Of
Solnerg.

SEEK COUNTERFEIT PLANT HERE
Federal officers Said to be Looking to
Kenosha for Counterfeiting Plant.

1t is declared that federal officers are
to be sent to Kenosha in an effort to
locate a counterfeiting plant from
which lot of bogus money has been
put into circulation in the lake shore
district during the past few months.
Several arrests for eounterfeiting have
been made among the foreigners of .Ke-
nosha during the past two years and it
is declared that the government officials
have struck a trail leading to Kenosha
again. No counterfeit money has been
discovered in circulation here and the
money found in the past was for the
most part crude. The officials are now
seeking the source of very dangerous
Ten Dollar Bill" For long time a
gang of foreigners engaged in the
making of counterfeits in Kenosha and
Waukegan and it is thought possible
that these bills may be the output of
that factory"

ICE CREAM ON TRAINS.
North Western Ry. Co. to Make Ice
Cream on It's Own Dining Cars.

The making of ice cream enroute, is
an innovation which has recently been
inaugurated on a number Of the import
ant dining car runs of the Chicago and
Northwestern Ry. This feature is
distinctive of the dining car service
supplied by the Chicago and North
Western Ry. It is already in opera
tion on the North Western Limited, the
Overland Limited, the Colorado Special
the Iron and Cooper Country Express
and the Chicago Special. Under this
plan the dining car patrons are assured
of getting only newly made cream,
eliminating the chance for it to become
icy, or tainted with salt from the re-
tainer. Hundreds of gallons are now
being made each month under this
plan, the favors being changed regu-
larly to suit the taste of epicures.

BIG FIRE IN BRIGHTON.
Barns on the John Terry Farm Destroy
ed Saturday--Loss $4,000.

An early morning blaze Of unknown
origin Saturday completely destroyed
the large granary, stable, corn crib,
cattle sheds and two other outbuildings
on the farm of John Terry, two miles
south of Brighton, causing loss which
is figured at between $4,000 and
$4,000. The blaze was the most dis
astrous on farm in this vicinity in
years. August Carroll, who was re-
turning home from a dance at $3.50
O'Clock in the morning, discovered the
blaze, and gave the alarm. The fire
had good start when it was discover
ed, and was beyond control. After
arousing Terry and his family, Carroll
notified neighboring farmers who ran
to the scene and attempted to save cat
tie, horses, and other live stock. The
heat of the flames, which had in the
meantime spread to the other build
ings, prevented this, however. Seven
valuable horses were burned to death,
several cattle were killed and all of
Mr.. Terrys pigs died in the blaze.
Farm wagons, harness and other farm
implements stored in the wagon shed
were also destroyed. Mr.. Terry had
stored large quantity of grain and
hay, but this was all consumed in the
blaze. In a vain attempt to save the
barns the farmers organized bucket
brigade, but finding their efforts futile,
turned their attention to the house.
The fact that the house was construct
ed of brick was the only thing which
saved it. The heat of the burning
buildings, which were some distance
away, was so intense that practically
every window in the large house was
cracked and broken. No reasonable
theory as to how the fire started at
so early an hour in the morning can
be advanced other than that it was set
aire by some tramp, who may have
sought refuge in the granary.

FIGHT WAY TO PATROL WAGON
Officers Have Hot Chase After One Of

Offenders in Municipal Court Today.

Hand to hand fighting with bunch of
men and women was the problem put
up to the police just after eight o'clock
Sunday night when Police Officers
Biennemann, McGivern and Cyzak were
called to subdue riot in house at
6l2 Elizabeth street. On Saturday a
wedding celebration had been in
augurated at the house and it had been
continued without interruption for
close to forty-eight hours. The wagon
was sent to the house after a report
had been received by the police that
one of the men of the party had
been stabbed.
They found foreigner with small
cut in his upper lip which was alleged
to have been made with pocket knife
in the hands of Charles Spalinski
The police started into the house to get
Spalinski and the man who was stabbed
and they had troubles of their own.
Once in the house men and women set
upon the officers The women caught
hold of the officer s clothes and nearly
tore them off and they emphasized
their dislike for the police force by
one continual bombardment. The men
joined in the merry fight and the three
officers were forced to fight their way
from room to room in the house. The
man who was alleged to have been
stabbed escaped through window, but
Spalinski was finally arrested. One
woman hung to the clothes of the police
officers when they started to take
Spalinski out of the house and the of
officers dragged her to the wagon but
she was not arrested. Spalinski plead
ed guilty to charges of making dis
turbance in the municipal court this
morning and he was fined ten dollars
and the costs Of the action.
The officers had no more than reach
ed the station with Spalinski when
they were called out again on account

of Strong and Anton street. officer
Rock Joined the invading forces and
when the four officers reached the
scene of the trouble there was not a
person in sight They went into near
by house and found four men in bed
with their shoes on, but they were
seemingly asleep and all of them de-
clared that they had nothing to do
with the fight. The broken windows
in the house indicated that there had
been a lot of carnage before the police
officers arrived AS the officers left the
house they saw man dart out from
between two houses and run down the
street. They gave chase with Officer
Biennemann in the lead The man
was gaining when Officer Cyzak pulled
his revolver and fred shot. 1t had
no effect on the fleeing foreigner, but
Bienneman managed to catch up with
the fellow and fell him with well di-
rected blow with his fist. This man
gave his name as John Kerzowski and
il the municipal court this morning he
pleaded guilty to disturbance" and
paid a fine of three dollars and costs.
There were some sixteen defendants
in the municipal court this morning, all
of them charged with violating the
minor ordinances of the city. 1t was
a big day for the city treasury as all
of the men were leash customers"

GUARDIAN FOR SCHULZ.
County Judge to Name Guardian to
Handle Business of Park st. Man.

In the county court this morning a
formal petition was filed asking that
guardian be named for FL. G. Schulz,
well known hardware dealer. The petit
ton, which was made by G. e. Schulz,
the son, .eld that the condition of his
father was such as to make it impossi-
BILE for him to attend to his business af-
fairs. Mr.. Schulz has been at the Pen
meyer Sanitarium for the past ten
days and DR.. G. f. Adams declared
to Judge Taylor that his condition was
very grave and that there was little
reason to believe that he would recover
his health and strength. It was stat
ed that the patient was suffering from
senile dementia, and that while his
physical condition had shown a slight
Improvement no Improvement had been
noted in his mental condition. Judge
Taylor announced that he would name
guardian later in the week. The
petition placed the value of the per-
sonal estate Of Mr.. Schulz at $4,000,
and put no value on real estate owned
by him.

1t is in the interest of every individ-
ual in the United States that this aw-
full disease be stamped out, as it is not
only harmful to animals, but also to
human beings. We, therefore, appeal
to you to cooperate with the U. S. De
