In a certain uptown neighborhood.
which shall, for obvious reasons, be

enacted during the past week. This
small drama seems to have its points
Of absolute originality. so far as re-
corded history permits us to Judge.
But here is the case:
In the uptown neighborhood in cues
ton two small boys reside. They are
not so small, either, these boys. The
fact is. the whole issue of the tragi-
comedy hangs on the size of the boys.
One party to the struggle regards
them as being small The second party
regards them as being relatively large.
Each party consists Of two persons,
so that the drama end is not yet in
sight.
In house belonging to one of the
parties of the first part mother
walked into room and discovered her
young son in subtly suspicious atti-

newspaper spread out over his knees.

Passenger Train Crashes In
Ito a Bakery Horse Kill
b. ing Him Instantly.
IDRIvER AND FRIENDS ESCAPE
(From Tuesday s Daily

Adolph Sluzjinski, baker, with a
shop at SO North Pleasant street,
airted with death at the Lemon street
crossing of the North Western road
just before noon today and had his
horse instantly killed. The baker
himself had miraculous escape from
death. With him in the wagon were
two boys about nine years Of age, who
were members of some Of the families
of foreigners living in the peighbor-
hood of the bakery. They escaped
without a scratch, but after the acct
dent happened they ran away from
the scene of the trouble before their
names could be secured. Sluziinski
sat on the seat of his delivery wagon
and saw his horse literally cut to
pieces and the accident was the most
remarkable ever known in the history
of grade crossing killings in Kenosha.
The baker was driving west along
Lemon street and as he approached
the crossing the Waterman warned
him not to attempt to cross ahead Of
the train coming from the north at a
high rate of speed. Sluzjinski either
failed to hear the warning of the
Waterman or paid no attention to it
and drove onto the track in an eff
fort to cross ahead of the onrushing
train. The horse was in the very GEN.
ter of the track when it was struck
by the engine. Had it been struck by
a great knife it could not have been
cut cleaner. The entire front portion
of the horse was severed and literally
chopped to pieces. The thills of the
wagon were broken, the harness on the
horse literally torn to pieces and the
wagon was overturned. Sluzjinski and
the two boys had crawled out from
under the debris of the wagon before
the engineer was able to bring the
train to a stop and when the train
had backed back the two boys were
running far from the crossing while
Sluzjinski was bemoaning the loss of
his horse and the partial wreck of the
wagon. The engineer and fremen left
the cab and jumped in glee when they
discovered that the accident had not
resulted in the loss of human life.
ST don't see how that feiiow and
those boys got out without being kill
ed said one of the trainmen. eve
were coming down at good rate of
speed and when / saw the horse and
wagon on the track it looked certain
that there could be no escape for
them.
sluzjinski made a careful search of
his body, but he could find no injury
and the two little boys were not
even bruised.
The accident delayed the train for
more than an hour. The mangled body
of the horse was strewn along the
tracks for more than three blocks and
portions of the harness were found a
hundred feet west of the crossing. !.
OF course the accident served to
emphasize the need Of elevation of the
tracks In KeIosha.

Poor Illustration.

At meeting of clergymen a curate
was anxious to bring himself under
the notice of the archbishop. He in
formed his grace that he had recently
seen a wonderful example of the way
of Providence. Your grace" said the
curate, my aunt intended taking a
railroad journey, but missed the train
owing to her cab being held up. That
very train met with an accident and
many passengers were killed and in
jured. Was not that wonderful In
teryention Of Providence?" The arch
bishop looked at the curate and, after
pausing moment, simply said: Il
didn't know your aunt"

It is considerable of a job to under
lake the compilation and codifcation
If the city ordinances, but the present
council is as competent to undertake
.;he work as any that the city has had
some time and the matter will be
brought to the attention of that body
~ some of the aldermen. No attempt
las been made to straighten out the
avs and ordinances of the city and
ndex them in many years and their
present condition can best be describ
ID as "grand high mix. . There is
lot the slightest doubt that many of
he earlier ordinances of the city have
'een abrogatea or greatly amended by
alter enactments OF the council and on
many points it has taken very ex-
ended search by attorneys to ascer-
ain just what the present laws pro-
lde. The revision of the ordinances
vill take time and money. but the
onger it is delayed the more it will
ost. A competent attorney will have
be engaged and it will take months
or him to straighten out the old ordi-
iances so that induces can be made.
The work of the council will come in
assing new ordinances to take the
lace of those which have been so
mended by later measures that their
leaning is not clear and in repeating
rdinances that have become "dead
,tters.'

The outcome of the adjourned meet

so much that they are concerned great
ly as to whether or not any of the
saloons under FIRE and against which
adverse reports have been made by
the license committee get licenses,
but because the vote this evening
will enable them to Judge of the
affiliations of some of the aldermen
whose standing is in doubt at pres
emit Moreover, the present situa-
tion and the kind Of pressure that
has been brought to bear on the
aldermen is better understood by more
people than the principals in the con-
troversy have any idea of. 1t is APP
preciated that it takes backbone and
nerve for the aldermen to resist the
kind of influence they are being sub
jected to and vote on the facts as they
appear and the people are naturally
interested in knowing which of the al
dermen have it. Whichever way it
goes, the results of the battle on the
floor of the council this evening are
bound to be far-reaching.

MANY WITNESSES oA(sIAND
Police Officers Fail to- Support Head Of
License Committee in Charge of In
toxication Against Man Arrested in
n the Joell Jacobsen Saloon.

When is a man idrunka Thissprob-
lem which has caused jurists toswaste
weeks in meditatioaIfor years back was
brought prominently before Judge
Randall in thesmunicipal court on Mon
day afternoontand refusing to sidestep
the issue ands also refusing to adopt
the retort 1.-THE Irishman who came iBr
to the court a while ago and declared
that a Imam who could walk was not
drunk, Judge Randall changed the forml
of the question sand putlit When is
"a man drunk lin Kenosha according
to the ordinaneessof the.city of Keno
shaa' The judgeSd id notiintimate that
it took any more to get man drunk
in Kenosha than it did in other places,
but he established firmly that there
was difference between being stew
ed, " "soused," duplicated, lin
|ebriated, = intoxicated and
/" drunk. F" Judge Randall made this
more definite when he ruled that Jacob
Walraven, who had been arrested in the
saloon of Joel Jacobsenlon last Satur-
day afternoon by Alderman August
Kisten was mot intoxicated. y The
court did not rule on the question of
"tipsy' or inebriated and his hold
ing was that Walraven was "not in
toxicated under the meaning of an or
dinance passed by a city which licensed
saloons to do business
The court did not decide the case on
his own personal opinions but on the
evidence produced. The evidence was
unusual. Police officers Feldschau and
Bradley were called by the city. They
held that while the breath Of Walraven
had an odor which was not unfamiliar
in the lookup room at the city hall,
tyet he was not so under the influence
of liquor that they would have picked
him up without some one suggesting
lit. Police Officer Zievers qualified his
evidence, - would not want to say
that the man was intoxicated, but I
think that he was slightly inebriated, -
was the way the sergeant put it.
"The man was druna,' testified AL
derman Kisten. He declared further
that he had watched Walraven drink
four bottles of beer. When questioned
as to the capacity OF NValraven to con-
sumo the amber fluid, the alderman adj
mitted that he was unable to give fur
| Their evidence
There was lot of evidence for the
defendant. Walraven himself took the
stand and declared that he had drunk
just one bottle of beer He declared
that he was not drunk.
The star witnesses for the defendant
were DR.. F. E. Andre and DR.. Cleary.
DR.. Andre declared that the man was
entirely sober when he saw him two
hours after the arrest, but DIR. Cleary
was just little more conservative and
admitted that he detected from some
of the movements of Walraven slight
indications that he might have been in
oarroom during the day, but his evil
dence was against his being "intoxi-
cate" at the time he saw him.
This evidence with the brilliant ar
gument of the counsel for the defense
settled the question and Walraven
walked out of court free man.
! 1t was the merriest farce comedy
that Kenosha has seen in many day
and it was entitled to curtain calls for
all the principals.
