ASKS DAMAGES FOR ASSAULT.
Charles Riebe, Beaten Up in Salem De.
clares He Wants Damages.

In the circuit court this morning
civil action was started in which
Charles Riebe, well known Salem man
is the plaintiff, and Fred Bernhoft,
Frank Bernhoft and Harold FTeueker
of Salem, are the defendants. The
plaintiff demands damages in the sum
of $1,000 for alleged injuries received
when he was assaulted by the defen-
dants on the afternoon of November
9th. He asserted that he was so seri-
ously beaten, bruised and kicked that
he was forced to expend large sums for
medical attention and that he suffered
permanent injuries. The case will be
heard at the February term of the cir
cult court.

Among the recommendations made by
the secretary of agriculture in his
annual report was one for the discon-
tinuance of congressional seed distri-
button and the substitution therefor of
work along the line of securing and
distributing new and valuable seeds and
plants, The present system of seed dis
tribution costs the government over a
quarter of a million dollars annually
and the work that the secretary pro-
poses to substitute, while infinitely
more valuable, can be done for much
less money, but it is CERTAIN that unless
the secretary can interest the public in
his plans to the extent that some pres
sure will be put upon congress, any bills
abolishing the seed distribution viii be
quietly pigeonholed in Vme committee.
The little seed packages are the only
means some congressman have Of in
forming their constituents that they are
still in the land of the living.

Frank NJ. Stoffels Prominent
Paris Man Alleged to be
Insane by Relatives.
HAS Spent MONEY TOO FREELY

Petitions were fled in the county
court this morning asking for an ex-
animation into the mental condition Of
Frank NJ. Stoffels, one of the best
known men Of the town eff Paris and
at the same time the court was asked to
name a guardian to have charge of all
the property of Stoffels and special
guardian to be in charge of his affairs
pending the formal appointment of a
general guardian The petition was
filed by the district attorney who held
that 1T was necessary to take this step
in order to protect the interests of the
relatives and friends of Stoffels in
property which he had in his keeping.
Stoffeis was brought to the Pennoyer
Sanitarium some time ago fore treat
ment and it is said that his condition
is critical. At the time he was brought to
the city for treatment he chased mem
bers of the party with meat cleaver
and before he was finally subdued he
chopped the veins of his wrist with the
cleaver and he suffered considerably
from loss of blood. Before this it is
alleged that he had used five dollar
bills as a torch to light cigars and had
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-01-08

shown Willingness to dispose of money
in manners entirely unique to people
IL the town of Paris.
In connection with the demand for
the examination into the mental eondi-
ton of Stoffels the district attorney
has been asked to make an investiga-
ton into his financial dealings. Stof-
fels was treasurer of cemetery asso-
citation in the town of Paris and it is
thought possible that some of the funds
of the association have been used by
him. There has also been some ques-
tion raised as to note given the
Union Grove Bank which bore the
name of a well known resident of the
town of Paris. This note was for 5000.
In speaking of the case this morn
ing, District Attorney Drury said:
There is not any idea that Stoffels
has been knowingly guilty of anything
of criminal nature, but it is possible
that in his weakened mental state he
has done some things which would
make him subject to prosecution under
the criminal statutes. For the present
we are hopeful that we can clean up all
of the troubles of the man and have
him sent to hospital for treatment.
He will be examined by the physicians
some time in the day and after he has
been taken care of we viii make some
investigation into his financial affairs.
IStoffffels seemed to be laboring under the
impression that he was very wealthy
man and was spending money in keep
ing with his dream. He is one of tie
most prominent men in the town of
Paris and his condition has brought
profound sensation among the people of
that town. 1t is probable that he will
be sent to the state hospital at Men,
dota for treatment"

MRS. JOSEPH LINDL DEAD.
Well Known Kenosha Young Matron
Died at Johnsburg on Sunday.


Mrs Clara Gulig Lindl, wife Of
Joseph Lindl, well known Kenosha ar
chitect and young matron widely
known in Kenosha, died at her father s
home at Johnsburg, Fond du Lac
county, just after four 'colck Sunday
morning. Death resulted from pneu-
mania which had followed an attack
of brain fever. Mrs. Lindl, accom-
panied by her husband and her little
son, had gone to Johnsburg just before
Christmas to spend the HOLIDAYS. AT
the time she left Kenosha she appeared
to be in the best of health and the an
nouncement of her death received here
Sunday afternoon came as great shoe k
to her friends. Mrs. Lindl was taken
Ill with brain fever on the day before
Christmas and this later developed into
pneumonia. The deceased was a daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert Gulig. She
was born at Johnsburg in Fond du Lac
county, May u, 1884. She was married
to Mr.. Lindl at Fond du Lac Nav Is.
1910. Since that time she had made
her home in Kenosha. A woman of
great charm, of cheerful nature and al
ways thoughtful of her friends she
made wide circle of friends in the
city to whom the announcement of her
death comes a sd personal sorrow. The
husband and one little boy survive.

MUST SHOW DIVIDENDS PAID
State Seeks Information in Regard to
Amounts Paid to Stock Holders and
These Will be Assessed Against In
dividuals if Not Returned.

With the opening of the new year all
corporations in Kenosha today received
from the Wisconsin State Tax Commits
sion the call for the annual income tax
schedules. All of these must be on file
in the office of the commission at
Madison on or before the 10Th day of
April. The blank offered by the state
commission this year does not differ
greatly from those of the former years
except that some Of the Investigations
of the commission into the business of
the corporations go little deeper this
year than before.
Three blanks are sent out this year.
One is the regular income statement of
the corporation; another provides for
the listing of all people employed by
the corporation and the amount, over
500, paid to each. The last blank pro-
vides for the listing of all dividends
paid during the year to stockholders of
the corporation. Under this notice is
q note from the commission in which
it is declared that unless this informa-
tion is given all stockholders will be
taxed on their dividends. The assessor
of incomes is expected to use this
dividend sheet in checking up the indi-
yidual returns. There is no statement
| made as to the intent of the state com
mission in regard to the taxing of the
incomes of bondholders of corporations
but it is supposed that this tax will not
be levied next year as the commission
has been pretty well satisfied that un-
der the law such a tax can not be
collected.
The schedules for the individual in
come tax payers will be sent out with
in the next few weeks and they will
probably bear a date for return of
the first of April.
An interesting controversy is being
raised by some of the fraternal or
CARNATIONS of the city in regard to the
income tax. These organizations for
the most part have paid no attention
to blanks sent out by the state and
onlo yOdl tHb tdA cOnAHiSSIUH maze an
arbitrary assessment against them.
Members of the organizations are now
seeking relief from these taxes. They
claim that the income all goes toward
The promotion of the work of the orders
and that under such circumstances the
societies should be freed from this
burden Of taxation. Sums amounting
to nearly a hundred dollars are claim
ed as the income tax of some of the
Kenosha societies. The state tax
commission has promised to. give these
organizations hearing. One thing is
certain and that is that in the future
the organizations will return the in
come tax blank.

The little boy was born at the hospital
week ago and at The time of his birth
his blood was so thin that he was near

an artery in the neck of the child and
the other end of it to an artery in the
side of the father In a snort time the
blood was pumped from father to son
and the child is now declared to be
thriving. 1t is able to take proper
nourishment and the physicians declare
that it has every chance to grow. Mr..
Bidinger declares that he has felt no
i'll effects from the operation.
