John Gross Who Enticed
Little Girl Sent to State
Prison for Two Years.
WAS SECOND OFFENsE OF man

Washington Island furnished the SEN
sation in police circles in Kenosha on
Sunday as John Gross, thirty-three
years of age and long resident of the
north side of the city, was arrested on
charge of taking indecent liberties
with little girl six years of age. The
man had found the little girl playing
along the street and had carried her
into clump of bushes where he was
found by people residing on the island.
The fellow was pretty roughly handled.
but he was finally turned over to AS
sistant Chief of Police Newhouse who
locked him in the city lookup. This
morning Gross appeared in the munich
pal court and his plea of drunkenness
did not get him a great deal of sym
pathy with Judge Randall The man
admitted that he had enticed the lit
tie girl into the unlerbrush on the
island and declared that the only ex-
PLANTATION he could make was that he
was drunk. He will have plenty of
time to think the matter over as this
afternoon he was sentenced to the
state prison for a term Of two years.
While the officials were making an ex-
animation of the charges against Gross
and preparing the legal forms for him
to enter plea of guilty under the
state law they discovered that the fell
low had been arrested several years
ago on a similar charge. At that time
he had pleaded intoxication as a de-
Tense and on plea of friends he had
been let off with sentence of sixty
days in the county jail. He served the
term. Gross is unmarried and claims
to have been a resident of Kenosha for
nearly twenty years. He was taken to
Waupun this afternoon to begin the
service of his term.

TO THE VOTERS OF KENOSIIA
AND KENOSHA COUNTY.

AS my name has been listed among
others, as a prospective candidate on
the democratic ticket for the office of
county treasurer, and, as 1 have been
out of the retail trade for a number of
years ,and many of my old friends may
have forgotten me, would like herein
to make a brief announcement.
On August Is, 1881, opened a book
and wall paper business in the store
now occupied by H. W.. Robinson, and
which l continued for over seventeen
years. Many of the voters of today
in both city and county, purchased
their school books and supplies at
" Melvilles," during that period, and
doubtless will recall our pleasant rela-
tions at all times.
In l898-99 the citizens of Kenosha
honored me with the office of city
treasurer, the duties of which office /
seem to have satisfactorily discharged,
and should the voters feel that / am
worthy of their trust to the office of
county treasurer, which | am seeking
| promise to perform the duties per-
tanning to that office, honestly and
faithfully so long as I am in charge
of the office, and to render an accurate
account of all transactions, up to the
close of my service.
| am not putting out any of my
photographs, as I might not compare
very favorably with my opponents
But there is also another reason: This
year our assessments have been boost.
ed pretty high, and the tax levy is
bound to follow suit, so that our citi-
zens will necessarily have to turn over
to the treasurer a very large sum of
money. Should / be elected to take
charge of this treasure and temptation
got the better of me, and / absconded,
it would prove most unpleasant to
have my pictures scattered all over the
county. A little early precaution of
ten saves trouble. But, as you must
trust some one with the fund, I be-
lieve you will be perfectly safe to

IMPROVEMENTS HELD UP NOW
Order Of Court Gives Receivers a New
Chance to Avoid Making Improve
ments Which Have Been Demanded
By Officials Here and in Other Cities.

Again the sale of the Chicago and
Milwaukee road has been postponed.
| This time for six months. Federal
Judge Geiger yesterday granted the
petition of the Master in Chancery
Charles Morrison in which delay was
asked owing to the present situation
in Europe.
At the time that Morrison fled the
petition before the court he declared
that the present war made it financially
an impossibility to finance any project
of as large at magnitude as the G. & NJ.
would be. For this reason and others
it is said the court granted the stay
and the long deferred action was laid
over again.
Announcement has been made that
the delay in the resale of the road will
be urged as a cause for the holding up
of all improvements that are being
urged in Kenosha and other cities as
the receivers of the company have
practically closed up their books and
it is declared that they will not start
any new work until after the re-

THE l2lDyD[plL[D
Dear Editor:-


The writer is young man, who has
been absent from the city for a year
and upon his return this summer, MISS
ed one thing more than any other and
that was the Y. NJ. G. A. Why do we
not have an association building at the
present timeq Is it on account of the
lack of interest ON the part of the
citizens, or is there no demand for
ones The undersigned feels confident
that the citizens of Kenosha are very
much interested in this work and are
willing to support it in every phase
of its activities. The rapid growth of
the association during thea past years
proves that there has been, a great de-
mand for it, and, it has become a
vitalzing power for the community.
The many branches of the Y. NJ. G. A.
reached out among the young men of
the city and were the source of their
mental, physical and spiritual develop
ment. 1t has become an indispensable
factor and its absence is being keenIy
felt by all of the former members.
Gould not campaign be started this
fall so as to secure funds and make
building possible next spring. The
writer is not only voicing his own sem
timents, but those of hundreds of
young men of the city who are looking
forward to the time when they viii

organization of the company has been
effected or until after the court has
handed down final decree in the set
Element of the long fight over the
future ownership of the road. Keno
sha council committees have been MAX
ing an effort to secure the improve
ment of crossings in the city, but it is
declared that this work must be laid
over pending the reorganization. If
the city desires to secure any action
before the formal order of the court
is carried out it will be necessary for
it to make an appeal to the state rail
delays in connection with an appeal to
the commission it is not probable that
the city will secure the carrying out
of its demands until such a time that
the tangled financial affairs of the
road have been Strengthened out and
this will probably be full year.
Cities all along the route of the line
have been bombarding the receivers
with demands for improvements and
changes in the conditions under which
the road is operated and it is possible
that if concerted action was taken by
the officials of the various cities some
action could be forced ON the part of
the company. With the affairs of the
road badly tied up in court the re-
ceivers find a defense for pretty near
ly anything that might be charged
against the operation of the line. 1t
is declared that the financial report
of the receivers for the past six
months shows a satisfactory increase
in the business of the company.

Many of the people in the newly
annexed territory do not appear to be
willing to abide by the bargain they
made or which was made in their name
and presumably understood by every
body Ithere was no protest made at
the time) with the city council at the
time the annexation ordinance was
passed that no public improvements
would be demanded until after that
territory had paid in some taxes to the
city. They are after some things in
that line, using any argument that can
be thought of, and nobody blames
them very much. 1t is natural enough
that the people there are impatient.
As one of them remarked when his at
tention was called to the alleged bar
gain; "Well, what did they think we
wanted to come into the city for, any
waygo 1t was pretty well understood
by everybody, except possibly some of
the aldermen, that the annexation of
this wide expanse of territory, much
of it vacant property, would consider
ably increase the running expenses of
the city within a very short time so
why complains Certainly the city as
sumed an obligation to give the people
there the same police and fire protec-
tion received in other sections of the
city and a certain amount of service
from all Of the city departments.
