Gustav Wellman Found I'm
conscious in Home on FIRE.
mont Avenue on Monday.
WIFE HAD SUED FOR DIVORCE

Gustav Wellman, well known resi-
dent of Fremont avenue, is at, the Ke-
nosha hospital suffering from the eff
fects of partial asphyxiation from il
Eliminating gas and while his condition
today is such as to cause his physi-
clans to believe that lie is out Of dan
ger he had very close call from
death. Wellman was found in his
home on Monday. The doors of the
house were locked and gas was flow
ing freely from several jets in the
house. Tho discovery that the man
had been overcome by the gas was
made by one of his relatives who went
to the house to visit him. The doors
were forced open and Wellman was
found unconscious on bed in his bed
room. He was hurried to the Kenosha
hospital in an ambulance and DR.. j. F.
Hastings was called to attend him. He
had evidently been under the influence
OF the gas for some time and for a
time it was feared that he would
not survive.
On Monday morning Wellman was
made the defendant in !. suit for d.
vorce brought by his wife, Mrs. Ernes-
tine Wellman and just after the suit
was filed in the municipal court the
man was found unconscious at his
home In her suit Mrs. Wellman
charged that her husband had repeat
eddy assaulted her and asserted that
during the last few weeks his conduct
toward her had been such that she
feared to remain in the same house
with him. Wellman had known of the
suit being fled. The couple were mar
ried in Kenosha, August s, 1901, and
have no children. Mrs. Wellman has
two daughters by former marriage
who had made their home with her.
The condition of Wellman was such
that he was unable to make any state
ment in regard to the gas jets being
turned on at his home, but his friends
assert that it is probable that the
partial asphyxiation came as a result
OF an accident. Both Wellman and his
wife are well known in Kenosha and
the finding of him unconscious in the
home so soon after the fling of the
action for divorce has caused pro-
found sensation. After the fling of
the suit for divorce Mrs. Wellman and
her daughters left the home and they
were not aware Of the condition of
Wellman until told Of it after he had
been taken to the hospital. The ac-
ton for divorce will be heard at the
next term Of the municipal court

THREATENS AN INJUNCTION.
Jacob Ludwig Notifies County Officials
He Will Contest Road Improvement


The officials of the county in charge
of the highway work have been notified
that trouble is brewing in connection
with the proposed Improvement of the
Burlington road to the north of the
city. The plans provide for the i'm
provement of this road by the building
Of concrete roadway, but Jacob Lud-
wig has filed a protest against the
lines of the road. He has notified the
officials that he will seek to enioin the
county from improving the road unless
provision is made to have the road run
straight through his property. The
present plan for the road provides for a
slight bend in the road at the Ludwig
property. Mr.. Ludwig insists that he
fears such bend in the road will in
terfere with future annexation of the
property to the city. Efforts are being
made to settle up the difficulty without
a court action.

of age is going to be his own step
father. Saturday afternoon Joseph APP
piled at the office of the county clerk
with a perfectly good eugenics certi-
ficate and asked for marriage license
AS the clerk wrote in the name of the
bride Katherizina Licltenstein he
casually remarked FYou are not cous-
ms are you?" Nope responded the
bridegroom to be. Any relation at
all, !" continued the clerk. Nope, .
responded the Russian again. :" You
see,n he continued, the bride is my
step mother, but L am advised that I am
not related to her. Nothing doing,
said the clerk. Joseph insisted that
he was entitled to license and the
clerk consented to -ay the matter
before the district attorney. Mr..
Drury read the law carefully and came
back with FWell if this fellow wants
to be his own step-father there is moth
ing in the law to prevent it. Issue the
license. /" Notwithstanding the fact
that she is the widow of the father of
her husband to be, Mrs. Lichtenstein
is but thirtyfour years of age Her
former husband died some time ago.
Lichtenstein admitted that it was a
little unusual for step children to have
such an interest in the step-1nother but
he declared that this was an ~ nal
Istep-mother.
