Large Portion of Business
District of Winthrop Har-
Dor Wiped Out By Fire.
KENOsHA F|RENEN LEND AID
(From Thursdays Daily


The business district of Winthrop
Harbor, the "Dream City, built up
by ]. H. Van Vlissengen, the Chicago
man, lifteen years ago, just over the
state line south of Kenosha, was al
most completely wiped out by a fire
which broke out in the Neibauer Hotel
Just after midnight this morning. The
flames started in the bar-room of the
hotel and spread with such rapidity
that the entire old frame buildings
which covered nearly all of the bust
ness portion of the village to the east
of the Sheridan road, was left mass
of smouldering ruins. Fire fighters
from Zion City and Kenosha both went
to the aid of the people of the village
and while they were able to prevent
the spread of the flames to the build
fngs on the west side of the road they
were powerless to prevent the main
store buildings of the village being
reduced to ruins. The dry frame build
ings burned like timber and within an
hour and half after the first tongue
of flame appeared the flames had eaten
their way from one of the buildings to
the other. In another hour nothing but
smoking smouldering ruins were left of
what had been the one block of bust
ness buildings in the village.
There were narrow escapes galore in
the fire, but no one was seriously injur-
ed. More than fifty men employed in
the two little manufacturing plants at
Winthrop Harbor had made their homes
in the hotel and these men were routed

PREPARE FOR 1916 CAMPAIGN
Friends of McGovern Who May be
Beaten by Husting Declare That He
viii at Once Announce Candidacy
Against LaFollette in Next Campaign

No matter who occupies the United
States senatorial seat from Wisconsin
which has been filed by the election
just concluded, the alignments in Wis
consin politics have been entirely
changed by the election.
With the face of the returns showing
the election of Paul o. Husting, the
democratic candidate for United States
senator, the close friends of Gov. Fran
els E. McGovern in all parts of the
state are saying things in regard to
Senator LaFollette which would make
the senator S ears tingle if he could
hear them If the feud between the
stalwarts and the LaFollette leaders
was bitter in this state, it is likely
that it was mild in comparison to the
feeling which exists between the Nc
Govern and the LaFollette people at
this time Even should the now seem
ing impossibility occur of the senatorial
seat finally going to Gov. McGovern,
it viii not lessen the feeling of
the McGovern people against Senator
LaFollette and his followers.
After Bob's Scalp.
The McGovern leaders feel that de-

from their sleep to find the flames
grew excited and fearing to risk trip
through the halls and down the narrow
stairs raised the windows and swung
themselves out and dropped to the
ground below. 1t was only a short
drop and none of them was injured.
A score of the men escaped with moth
ing but their night clothing and their
other clothes were left behind to be
burned in the flames. A few thrifty
ones remained behind in the burning
building long enough to pack up their
belongings and risking death they pack
ed the trunks down the narrow stairs
leading from the burning building and
piled them in a heap in safety to the
west of the Sheridan road
Chief Isermann and his men had re-
tired for the night when frantic calls
began to arrive from Winthrop Harbor
just after one O'Clock. "The town is
burning up and we must have help at
once" was the first message and the
chief called upon Captain Hansen and
the west side company to go to the
stricken village. With reinforcements
of two men frem the central station
the west side truck pulled away from
the city hall just after one o. clock and
made the run to Winthrop Harbor in
less than thirty-fve minutes. When
the Kenosha fremen reached the vii
lage they found the flames slowly eat
ing up the last of the big hotel build
ing. The Zion City department had
reached the village half hour before
and they had their pumps working TAX
ing water from the little creek and
pouring it on the buildings surrounding
the hotel
It was night never to be forgotten
in Winthrop Harbor The burning EN-
hers from the old frame building were
blown all over the village by the strong
wind and on nearly every house top
men were stationed to prevent fire.
The women and children thronged the
streets, the women crying and shouting
to the visiting fremen to save
their homes from destruction. while the
children considered it one great morn
ing holiday.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by some one dropping a lighted
cigarette in the bar-room or one of the
hotel rooms adjoining. No one among
the men who lived at the hotel could
make any statement as to the manner
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1914-11-19

hberate fight has been made by Sena
that Senator LaFollette has courted
the war which they say will follow in
Wisconsin politics. The McGovern
leaders declare also that it will be a
war to the knife and one of Gov. Nc
Governs closest friends, in talking of
the situation, declared that if the Nc
Govern organization never accom-
plishes anything else in this state it
will see that Senator Robert M. LaFol-
lette never again shall hold a position
from Wisconsin by the suffrages of
Wisconsin voters.
The LaFollette leaders in the state
laugh at the McGovern threat. They
make no secret of their apparent JOY
at the seeming defeat of the governor
for United States senator, and they
say their only regret is that the figures
are not more overwhelming. They de-
clare Gov. McGovern has perfectly
good reason to be angry at them.
They say the LaFollette war on Nc
Govern was an open war and point to
the fact that the LaFollette leaders
did not hesitate to distribute slips ad-
vising votes for Blaine and Husting.
To "Clip His Wings
They declare the fight was an inten-
tional fight, and that the intent and
purpose of the fight was to eliminate
absolutely Francis E. McGovern as a
political power in this state and so clip
his wings that his leadership should
in the future not be prominent or of
any political weight. This the La
Toilette people seem to think they have
accomplished.
Whether it has been accomplished is
an entirely different question. The
friends of Francis E. McGovern declare
he is too large man to remain in
political obscurity, and there are strong
hints that the McGovern campaign
will be a continuous performance af-
fair for the next two years and that
Francis E. McGovern will, within the

TAKE DYNAMITE CASES
TO US. SUPREME COURT
Attorneys Ask Review of Trials of
President Ryan and % Iroa
Workers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The su-
preme court of the L. 5. Tuesday was
asked to review the cases of Pres
Frank NJ. Ryan and % other mem
bers of the Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers union who were found guilty
at Indianapolis of engaging in a dy-
Mantle conspiracy. Counsel for the
labor men presented a petition to the
court for a review, which, if granted.
will prevent them from going to jail
for possibly two years. The govern
ment opposes the petition.
The conviction of Ryan and the
others recently was sustained by the
federal court of appeals at Chicago.
They were convicted OF transporting
dynamite III violation of the interstate
commerce laws. They alleged that they
were convicted largely on the uncOr-
rObOrated evidence of Ortie McManl-
gal and James Il. Mcnamara, princi-
pals in the Los Angeles Times con-
spiracy and other dynamite outrages.
