Kenosha has heard wars and rumors
Of war, but the first actual battles to
result from the differences between the
Russians and the Austrians of Keno
sha were staged on Sunday afternoon.
One was at the saloon of Leo Rose on
the west side and the other was at a
house Oh Anton street. There was car
mage a plenty and as result of the
two battles on widely separated battle
grounds one Russian is in the KenOsHa
hospital and another appeared in
court this morning with his head and
arms swathed in bandages.
The man in the hospital is Mike
Peterosl1o and he was terribly cut up
in fight at the Rose saloon just after
five clock Sunday afternoon. To the
physician, who took six stitches in his
head, he declared that they were
"fghting over the war; and he was
assaulted with a beer bottle. The
man Is injuries are regarded as serious
and it will be some time before he will
be able to resume his place in the
trenches The police reached the scene
of this battle early after the hostilities
began, but when they got there the
Austrians had folded up their tents
and disappeared and as yet the man
who committed the assault on Peter
osl1o has not been located. One arrest
on charge of disturbance was made
at the saloon and it is expected that
other arrests will be made during
the day.
The battle at the house on Anton
street was about as bloody as it could
have been without general slaughter.
DITTO Roman, who had half dozen
cuts and scratches, was arrested after
the fight was over charged with as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm. His victim was alleged to have
been Mike Balkiewicz, who had been
attacked with a common case knife.
He had great cut in his head and one
Of his fingers was partly cut off.
In this battle the two factions of the
Russians had clashed and it was de-
tween the men had been brewing for
some time Balkiewicz, Roman and
Mike Grawlick were all taken into Gus
tody by the police department. and all
of them were held under heavy bonds
for hearing which has been set for a
week from Tuesday.
While all of the men appeared to be
in a sorry condition in the court room
this morning it was declared that the
knife wounds would not prove fatal to
any of them. They showed a lack Of
willingness to talk about the battles
and insisted that the only thing that
could be said was that they were fight
ing over the war"
Bonds were furnished for all of the
men and it is expected that they viii
have declared truce if not established
peace of a permanent nature before the
date set for the adjourned hearing

I'll. f. Wheeler who for the past four
years has been manager of the Postal
Telegraph company Office in Kenosha,
has been transferred to the Central
office of the company in Chicago.
During his work in Kenosha, Mr..
Wheeler has been very successful in
building up the business of the com
pany in Kenosha and many local users
of the telegraph lines will regret his
departure. He will be succeeded in
the management of the Kenosha Office
by E. w. Olsen of Milwaukee. Mr..
Olsen has been working in the main
office of the company in Milwaukee
for a number of years and is thor
oughly experienced in the demands of

RACINE POINTS THE WAY.
Council in That City Would Work With
Kenosha to Get Crossing Projections.


The Racine common council has TAX
en- the initiative to secure better pro-
lection of crossings of the Chicago and
Milwaukee Electric railway in that
city and members of the Racine body
have suggested that Kenosha aldermen
cooperate. They suggest that with a
united action the company may be made
to see the necessity Of crossing protec-
tion in the Wisconsin cities without an
appeal to the railroad commission. If
this plan of urging protection fails the
two cities can make joint appeal to
the commission. Such a joint appeal
would greatly reduce the cost of the
movement to the two cities. It is very
probable that a joint appeal would re-
suit in an earlier disposal of the mat
ter by the state commission.

Kenosha made products has been don
ated by scores of merchants in the
down town district and in other busy
districts in the city and the committee
from the Manufacturers association is
busy planning for the series OF. exhibits.
Chairman II. G. Hansen, who is at the
head of the committee of the retail
merchants is convinced that the show
to be put on by the Kenosha merchants
will be fully as good as any that has
been put on in other cities Of the state.
Many of the merchants are planning
to make the date set for the exhibit
days for special displays of their own
wares as well as that of the manu-
facturers. It is planned to take one
window in each Of the stores for the
manufacturers displays and this will
leave ample room for displays by the
merchants in other windows. Several
of the merchants are planning to make
these windows unusually attractive.
The same bulletin of the Reailers
association announces that the date for
Kenosha s first " Dollar Day. has been
set for November 18th This is going

engineered by the Retailers associa-
ton. Every merchant in the city, re-
CARELESS of his line of business has
shown a willingness to get into this
movement and more dollar bargains
are going to be offered in Kenosha this
day than ever were offered before.
Some of the merchants are making long
trips to big eastern markets just with
a view Of securing some special offer
ing for this day. All over the mer-
chants are combing their lists with
care in order to get a real "leader' =
for this big bargain day. The adver-
tisement of the day throughout the sur
rounding territory is already beginning
to attract attention and it is certain
that there will be lot of bargain hunt
ers in Kenosha for that day.
On Wednesday night the annual
meeting of the Retailers association is
to be held at Grosvenor hall. The
meeting was originally set for Thurs
day evening but so many things were
arranged for that evening that the

ing ever held by the organization in

President Wilson has interfered to
postpone the execution of one Hills

in the State Of Utah. He took this
action at he request Of the Swedish

on, we observe, without word of com

the Underwood tariff bill was under
consideration, and he drove il through
