many AUTO WRECKS OCCUR
Heavy Rains in Western Part of the
County Make Roads Almost Impassa-
BILE and Scores of Automobile Parties
Have Marrow Escapes on Sunday.

Kenosha county was hard hit by
the freak storm which passed over
the southeastern part of Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois just after five clock
Sunday evening and in some portions
of the county the storm assumed the
proportions Of cyclone. The path
of the storm was wide over Kenosha
county and reports from the south
western part of the town of Pleasant
Prairie indicate that a lot Of damage
was done by hail. The hail continued
for about ten minutes and old timers
declare thai the fall of the hail this
time was Cne Of the heaviest ever
known in Kenosha county 1t is claim
ed that considerable damage was done
to the fruit and berry crop as a result
of the storm.
The storm came up so rapidly that
there was little chance for the people
out in the open to get to shelter and
from all parts of the county come hard
luck stories this morning. At the vii
lage of Salem the storm was only a
rain storm, but it is declared to have
been the heaviest rain ever known in
the village. Five miles from Salem at
Twin Lakes the rain was little more
than a sprinkle and the fishermen did
not leave the lakes on account of it.
In some parts Of the county the storm
was accompanied by high wind
There was little damage to the tele-
and only one station. on the rural lines
was reported out of order this morning.
While the tanners were hard hit by
the damage to small fruit and berries
they were no harder hit than scores Of
people from Kenosha who were forced
to travel the roads of the county in
automobiles after the storm and it is
declared at the garages today that the
road from Kenosha to Lake Geneva
and all the other roads to the west
are strewn with wrecks of motor ears.
Fortunately no one has been reported
as seriously injured, but there were a
lot of them had narrow escapes More
than sixty automobile parties from
Kenosha we're at the lakes on Sunday
afternoon and many of them lured
by the perfect weather of Sunday

ASsALANT FLEEs FROM CITY
Peacemaker Is Attacked by Husband
Who Had fingered Too Long in sa-
looms But His Injuries Are Not
Thought to be Serious.

Only one cutting ARRAY was report
ed to the Kenosha police from the
foreign sections of the city on Decora,
ton day and Sunday and this took
place at boarding house on Victoria
street just after two O'Clock Sunday
morning when Joseph Petroski was at
tacSed with a shoemaker s awl and
before he escaped from the house he
received more than twenty wounds.
The man was boarder at the home
of George Hrvatski and the latter is
being sought as the man who welded
the anvil. While Petroski has lot of
wounds DIR. NJ. A. Bernstein, who is at
tending, has notified the police that
there is no danger of his dying unless
blood poisoning sets in in some of
his many wounds.
The police have had trouble getting
all the details of the case. Petroski
has been boarder at the house for
some time and it is said that he was
pecked with the awl when he sought
to act as a peacemaker between
Hrvatski and his wife. Hrwatski had
been out at saloon until late hour
Saturday night and then had caroused
at the home of friends in the neighbor-
hood until long after midnight.
Petroslxi reached the house on Vic.
toria street just after the head of the
house and when he entered the room
he found Hrvatski and his wife quar-
reling over the condiJ4oA of the man.
Petrosh is alleged to have sought to
act as a peacemaker when it is claim
ed the other man picked up the awl
and went after him. The awl had a
blade about two inches in length and
evidently Hrvatski wore himself out
digging it into the flesh of Petroski.
His shirt was torn to snreds and there
were scratches all over his arms and
his breast. Several of them seemed to
have been aimed at the heart, but the
blade of the awl was so short that no
vital spot was reached.
By the time the police reached the
place Petroski had been taken away
to have his wounds taken care of and
Hrvatski had fled from the place.
Since that time the police have been
making an effort to get some trace of
the missing man, but he evidently has
fed from the city. Petrosh was able
to be at the police Office this morning
and he seemed very anxious to have
his assailant captured. 1t is probable
that warrant charging attempted
murder will be issued for Hrvatski.
He is thought to be in Chicago and
the detectives of the Chicago police
department have been urged to look
for him.
just after six clock Sunday after
noon foreigner living on West street
caused some excitement by firing a
revolver. Evidently he did not hit
any one and he managed to get away
before the police arrived and he has
not as yet been arrested. People in
the house declared that there has been
no trouble. It is probable that the
man was just celebrating.

SEND OUT A WARNING.
Police Department Receive Warning to
Look Out for Land Swindlers.

The police department. this morning
received warning from federal Of
ficials urging them to keep a close
look out for band of land swindlers
who have been working all over the
west and who are said TO be headed
toward Kenosha. The men work
largely in the rural districts and their
plan is to sell farms giving fraudu-
lent deeds. It is declared that the
men have worked in many sections Of
the country and that their workings
have Melted them hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. The members of the
gang are now being sought by the
officials of the federal government on

sought aid from the city or shelter
for the night. How all Of these par
ties escaped injury is little less than
a miracle.
The heavy rains converted the dirt
roads in the central part Of the county
into boys and the careful drivers of
the automobiles were the only ones who
escaped going into the ditch. Several
of the parties took more than four
hours to make the trip from the lake
resorts to the city.
In Kenosha the rain which continued
for half an hour was unusually heavy
and the usual flooding of some of the
fiat ground to the west of the city
was reported. The sewers, however,
were able to take care of all the water
within the limits Of the city.

tion of Prohibition Party on Friday.
Prohibitionists of Kenosha county
failed to throw any great scare into
the 'Ewets" by the county convention
scheduled for Friday night at the
county building for only two members

The Rev. Peter Stair, who had been
named IS the principal speaker of the
convention, and T. T. Parker, always
loyal to the old flag, were the only
two members of the party to appear
and no convention was held. Evident
ly there was some mistake as to the
date as several of the members of the
state committee had planned to be in
Kenosha and attend the convention.
The two faithful members of the party
did not wait long for the crowd to
come for ten minutes after the hour
set for the convention they deserted
the court house. It is said that an
effort will be made to hold another
convention later at which time efforts
