LOCAL TALENT IS SUSPECTED
Canvas Nit Found Near Broken Win
dow Is Only Clew for Deputy sher-
ifs to Work on But Arrests May
Be Made Before Day is Over.

The men out in the village of Salem
are either growing boards or shaving
themselves today as some time during
the night burglars invaded the village
and just literally cleaned out the bar
Der shop of William Dicks, the one ton
serial artist of the village. Dicks
brought the story Of the burglary to
Kenosha early this morning and Sheriff
Stahl has sent out a deputy to make an
examination into the matter.
Dicks closed up the shop late last
night and when he went down to work
this morning he found that one of the
panes in window at the entrance of
the building had been cut away just
far enough to permit man to climb
into the shop. The fellow had simply
cleared the decks, taking everything
of value. He got twelve or fifteen
razors, scissors, clippers and all the
other things that go to make up the
equipment Of real barber shop, in
Guiding the Sstigamaroo that they
put on the customer face after the
shaving operation is all over.
1t is claimed that a canvas glove
found near the broken barber shop win
dow this morning is mighty familiar
appearing article to some of the men
in the village Of Salem and it is
thought that the finding Of the glove
is a. sure indication that the robbery
was the work of local talent. No other
places were entered on Tuesday night,
but it is declared that on Monday
night men were heard proving about
the Loescher store and it is thought
possible that the men heard at the
Loescher store were more successful
when they tried out the barber shop.
The loot secured by the burglars in
addition to the equipment of the shop,
valued at some thirty dollars, included
some FIVE dollars in small change.
In all the towns in the western part
of the county complaints are being
heard on account of the number of
strangers coming in. Some of these
men are already looking for work about
the ice houses, but most of them are
Migrants seeking to get some place to
tie up for the winter. The people who
are interested in the Dicks robbery,
however, assert that they do not be-
lieve that these transients were respon-
sible for the robbery of the barber
shop.
Sheriff Stahl declared this morning
that he was hopeful that arrests would
be made during the day and that these
arrests might bring something of a
sensation out in the town of Salem.

Grand Total ........... 500, S05.9
Of course some of this money has
been advanced for work that has baen
done this year, but there will remain
of the county fund something over
forty thousand dollars to be expended
in. the new year.
At little dinner on Tuesday nigIt
Chief Engineer A. R. Hirst paid high
tribute to Kenosha county as "road
building county," He declared that
Kenosha county had constructed more
concrete road this. year than any
county in the state with the exception
of Milwaukee county. He also declar-
ed that the banner road building town
in the state was the town of Someys
in Kenosha county. The people of
Somers have shown a willingness to
keep right on being the banner county
and for its size it is probable that it
will be the top town next year. In
both Somers and Pleasant Prairie
money has been advanced to keep the
road work going after the regular APP
preparations have been expended.
At the meeting of the county board
this morning the Rev. L. g. Catchpole
of Milwaukee, told the board of the
work that is being done by the Child
ren's Home Society of Milwaukee.
The board appropriated one hundred
dollars for this work A similar APP
preparation has been made by the
county board for several years.
At the session of the board this af-
ternoon the question Of the employment
of an agricultural expert was taken up.
Supervisor Luke, who had been in
structed by the board to make an in
vestigation had a report ready which
showed that the farmers of the county
were not in touch with such a move
ment. Under the law portion of the
cost Of maintaining such position is
paid by the federal government, a part
by the state and a part by the county.
1t is held that Kenosha county is not
yet ready to take up this line of work
and the members Of the board will
take another year to study the prob
lem Of the benefits to be derived.

may Be VICTIM or FOUL PLAY
Had Gone Out on the Lake Early in
the Day to Hunt Ducks and Is Sup
posed to Have Been Exposed to
Cold Lake Waters Many Hours.

Bert Dean, well known barber at
Silverlake and formerly of Kenosha,
is lowering between life and death at
his home in the little village in the
western part Of the county as a result
of exposure on Silverlake on Monday.
The conditions surrounding the acct
dent are shrouded in mystery and Dean
has not been sufficiently conscious since
he was rescued from the lake at night
fall on Monday night to give any ac-
count of what happened to him.
Just before six o'clock Tuesday night
a man rowing across the lake found the
unconscious form of Dean. His hands
had been all but frozen to the side of
the boat and the remainder Of his body
was being tossed about on the surface
of the lake. His exhausted condition
indicated that he had been exposed to
the cold waters of the lake for many
hours. The unconscious man was TAX
en- to the beach and carried to his home
where he remained unconscious until
ed only partial consciousness and all
efforts to get any statement in regard
TO the manner in which he had fallen
into the lake were without avail. He
continued in this condition today and
his friends have not been able to get
any real facts in regard to the case.
Dean had gone out into the lake
early Monday morning to shoot ducks.
He was alone in the boat and a short
time after he rowed out into the weeds
one shot was heard. No other shooting
was heard during the day 1t is
thought possible that the rebound of
the gun when this first shot was fired
may have thrown Dean into the water
and that he foundered about in the
water until he was found late in the
evening. The man was so overcome
by exposure that the physicians at
tending him declare that there is lit
tie hope of his recovery.
A report of the case was made TO
deputy sheriffs in the neighborhood of
Silverlake and they are making an in
vestigation on the possible theory that
Dean met with foul play. There is lit
tie reason to believe that anything will
be found to support this theory.
Dean is about twenty-five years Of
age and he was regarded as an expert
in handling a boat and gun. The
shot gun which he had with him was
found in the bottom of the boat to
which he was clinging when he was
rescued. The condition of the boat in
dictated that it had not capsized.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE AT HEAD.
Total Amount Available for Road Work
In 1916 Will be S65, so5. 9o-Engi-
neer Hirst Pays Compliment to the
County and to Town of Somers.

The county board this morning gave
its time to making the annual levy of
road taxes and as result of the board
meeting the demands made upon it by
the various towns in the county the
finance committee was instructed to
levy a county highway tax of $23,584
for building permanent highways in
1916. AS the state has already appor-
toned to the county the sum of
$14,637.90 as the county share of the
state highway fund, the total available
for highway work next year will
amount to $65,805.90 This is just
three hundred dollars less than the es-
innate made short time ago.
In filing requests for money for per-
manent road work the town of Pleasant
Prairie leads ali the towns in the
county this term, making report that
the town board had appropriated 1884
for road work next year. This will
mean a total of more than $4,000 to
be expended in the town of Pleasant
Prairie. The town of Soiners was Sec
ond with 1900 and the town of Paris
third with an appropriation of $4,000.
The amount levied by the county will
be exactly the same as that raised in
the towns, but the amount from the
state fund will be bpt ssftv-sv per cent
of the amounts raised in the towns
and the county. The total amounts
returned as appropriated by the towns
were as follows:

WANT PEOPLE TO MAKE KICK
Officials of the Company Anxious to
Make Service Such as Will Meet De-
mands of Kenosha People Con-
ductors May Come Back Later.

With view Of drawing back to it.
self the departing nickels of passen-
gers the Kenosha Electric Railway
company this morning announced i'm
provements in the service on the lines
Of Kenosha which promise to make for
much better railway service in the
city. Six minutes of the running time
is to be Topped off of every car operated
on the Kenosha lines On the main
lines of the company from the north
end of Milwaukee avenue to the west
end of Elizabeth street twelve minute
service was ordained today to take the
place of the eighteen minute service
which has been in force for a good
at seven clock in the morning and
continue until eleven 'clock in the
evening. On the Grand avenue and the
Ashland avenue lines a twenty-four
minute service is to replace the thirty
minute service. Employees of the com
pany have been instructed that this
schedule must be maintained at all
times.
There will be no new cars placed in
service but Superintendent Timme has
issued an order for a general speeding
up of the service and it is thought that
1t will be an easy matter to maintain
the schedule as fixed.
The new order contains no mention
sc To - L.
but it is stated that this matter is now
under consideration by the officials of
the company in Milwaukee and it is
not improbable that within few weeks
about their necks will be back on
the cars.
"We want to make the service bet
ter was the announcement made at
the Office Of the company this morn
ing and with this end in view we
have ordered the change to the twelve
and twentyfour minute schedule. This
will mean many more trips for the cars
doring the day and we believe that it
will be a change which will be appre-
ciated by the people, In maintaining
this schedule we hope for the CO.
operation of the people of the city.
When cars are off schedule instead of
standing on the corner and kicking we
will be glad to have the patrons Of the
company go to the nearest telephone
and notify the offices of the company
that cars are off schedule. Tn this way
we will be better able to remedy any
defects. 1t will take us a little time
to work the men into this new and
faster schedule, but we feel that it
can be DONE"
1t has been an open secret that -
local managers for the railway COM
pany have strongly urged not only the
new schedule which went into effect
today, but also the return of the con-
ductors to the cars The real fight is
to be made before the Milwaukee men
who control the operation of the road.
1t is possible that if the changed
schedule brings new and larger business
to the company that it will prove the
opening wedge for securing real
modern street railway service for Ke-
nosha which in due time will become a
paying business for the company
