FOLLOW MANY SUSPECTS
Jacob Christensen, Robbed North OF
Town, In Kenosha to Aid Sheriff
Stahl and Police in Search for Band
Which Has Worked N. Shore Road.

The trail of the road bandits who
bound and robbed Jacob Christensen
on the Lake Shore Road north OF
Central Park just before noon on Tues
day, is leading toward Kenosha and
the sheriffs Of both Racine and Keno
sha county seem to be Of the opinion
that the men who have worked with
success in the various raids made on
automobile parties along the road be-
tween the two cities is finding shelter
in Kenosha. Christensen came to Ke-
nosha on Tuesday afternoon and spent
an hour at the county jail giving such
information as he had in regard to the
men who robbed him. He asserted that
one of the men appeared to be an
italian while his companion appeared
to be American born. He said that
the men appeared to be about thirty
years Of age and that one Of them
could not speak good English.
Sheriff Hollick of Racine county and
Sheriff Stahl of this county kept on
the jump all Tuesday afternoon and
reports Of suspects came flying in from
deputies all over the two counties. At
least four men were picked up near
the village of Somers, but all Of them
were released without being brought
into Kenosha on account of the fact
that they did not in any way answer
the description of the men who robbed
| Christensen. Search was made along
| the north shore by armed deputies
from both counties during Tuesday af-
ternoon and the road was patrolled on
| Tuesday night but not single arrest
was made. The Racine sheriff has put
four motorcycle police officers on the
! roads again today with orders to make
search of every part of the territory
| along the lake shore between the two
| cities. Tn addition to this officers have
been sent to all points along the
| Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail
way to search for men who may seek
| to board trains at these points
| Christensen declared that after he
was robbed the two men started north
! COWd1 IodC1hC5 DuG GuC UhlCClS Gullh
that they simply made circle and then
beat their way back toward Kenosha
1t is just possible that they managed
to get back into Kenosha before the
general alarm was given out that
Christensen had been assaulted and
robbed. The Racine fish merchant was
not much the worse for his experience
with the bandits. He had badly dis
colored eye when he was in Kenosha
last night and he insisted that his
wrists were stiff from the effects OF
the cords which had been tied about
them. He declared that so far as he
knew he had never seen either of the
men who robbed him before.
This is the third robbery to take
place on the road within two months
and it is thought possible that the
thieves may have a hiding place some
where along the road. Every old build
ing along the road was looked into by
the deputies on Tuesday afternoon an6
evening and nothing was found tt
show that any of these places had beer
recently used as a place of habitatior
for the daring robbers.

DISAPPEARED MONDAY NIGHT

Money to Amount of 1926 Taken
Suspected Man Offers to Buy
Drinks for Boarders Who Lost.

A robbery in which cash to the
amount of $125.00 and jewelry of con
siderable value made up the loot of the
thieves, was reported to the police de-
partment on Tuesday afternoon when
the officials were asked to make an eff
fort to get some trace Of John
Yrmalak, Russian who formerly
boarded at the home of William
Zahorski at 308 Garden street. This
man disappeared on last Monday af-
ternoon. His fellow boarders were not
greatly worried about his disappear
ance, but about the time he left it was
discovered that the considerable sum
of money had also disappeared from
the Zahorski home. One boarder re-
ported loss Of $500 and gold watch,
William Zahorski lost $4,000 in money
and some small pieces of jewelry, and
Thomas Zahorski, who has considerable
Of court record, had hundred dol
lars taken from his trunk at the board
ing house. It is declared that
Yrmalak did not work on Monday and
he was about the boarding house much
Of the afternoon. Late in the after
noon one of the other boarders met the
man in down town saloon. He was
cordial and even courteous and he in
sisted on his fellow boarder having a
number of drinks just to cement their
friendship. He intimated that he was
planning to leave Kenosha and even
insisted that he might want to make a
small loan. The fellow boarder later
discovered that Yrmalak had consid-
cradle sum Of money. The missing
boarder is thought to have gone to
Chicago and descriptions have been
sent to that city and the officials
there asked to make an effort to Sc
cure his arrest.

MOTOR CAR DEALERSAT WORK
Plans Are Made to Hold Show at the
Coliseum and Committees Will Be
Named in Few Days-May Have
Farmers Institute in Connection.

Kenosha is going to have another au-
tomobile show. This was decided at
the meeting of the executive committee
of the Retailers association held yes
terday afternoon and plans for the big
event are already under way. Within
the next ten days committees will be
named to have charge of the prelimin-
airy arrangements, for the show and it
will be held at the coliseum some time
during the month of March. The COM
mittee hopes that the automobile show
can be held in connection with far
mers' institute but as yet the state
board in charge has not decided to grant
Kenosha an institute this year on ac-
held here last year. eve would like
very much to have a farmers institute
this year, said one of the members of
the committee in charge but if we can It
get an institute we are going right
ahead with the plans for the auto show.
The dealers in automobiles are strong
fer the show. The one last year proved
to be real trade stimulant and we are
assured that with show this year there
will be even more exhibitors. Nothing
ever held in Kenosha proved more at
tractive to the people in the county and
we are not sure but tisisfhe automobile
and trade show drew Just as many peo-
pie to Kenosha last spring as did the
roundup institute. Wilmot is going
to stage a farmers institute in a very
short time and we are hopeful that it
will prove most successful gathering.
After the institute is over there, we will
make another effort to have an institute
arranged for Kenosha. -
It is expected that the plans for the
coliseum show will provide for display
of Kenosha made products other than
automobiles and that there will be a
poultry and grain show in connection.
One Of the big features of the coliseum
show last season was the poultry show
held in the basement of the building.
Kenosha poultry owners are very anxi-
GUS to have another chance to display
their stock. They feel that such show
can be best arranged in connection with
trade show.
A lot of the Kenosha dealers in auto
mobiles are planning for notable dis
plays at the coliseum show this year and
with an abundance of time to arrange
for these displays It is certain that there
will be a better showing than there was
last season. The date for the show will
be after the big shows in New York,
Chicago and other cities and it is ex-
pected that lot of the companies will
be willing to send portions of the ex-
hioits from the big shows to Kenosha.
The plans of drawing for space at the
show and more detailed announcement
of the show will be made by the COM
mittee within the next few days.
