PICNIC A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Hermann Outing Club Enjoy
Annual ..Reno' on Sunday.

George did it on Sunday. He took
the members of the Hermann Outing
Club to Larabee' $ Bridge for their
annual picnic on Sunday and it was
some picnic Arriving at the grounds
refreshments were in order followed
by a practice game Of indoor outdoor
ball after which chicken dinner was
served. After dinner, John Haag, mas
ter of ceremonies, in an impressive lit
tie address introduced J. M. Hermann,
who in few words expressed himself
as being very much pleased to have the
honor of belonging to such an dis
tinguished and extraordinary organiza-
tion which had on its membership list
ton who had on its membership list
the finest bunch of good fellows you
would ever want to meet. After
more speeches, songs, character songs,
high diving and acrobatic stunts the
feature Of the afternoon was pulled off
in the game between the Married Men
and the Single Men. Jack Powell
started to pitch for the Single Men
but retired in the fifth because Of a
"raw' decision. At that time the
score was five to nothing in favor of
the Married Men. Enough said. The
game was called at the end of the
seventh, the final score being ten to
six in favor of the Married Men.
After the game the club had their
picture taken and then proceeded to
finish the rest Of their official program.

WAR AGAINST HUNTERS UPHELD
Committee Which Investigated Arrests
and Trials of Kleist in Winnebago
County Holds That He Acted in
Strict Performance of Duty.

Michael Kleist has been vindicated
IN his long fight against the pot hunters
up IN the norther part of the state as
on Thursday the governor gave his sig
nature to law which reimburses Kleist
Tor the money he has spent in defending
himself against charges brought against
him IN the courts in Winnebago coun-
ty The amount in question was but
forty dollars but in order to have this
amount paid to Kleist it was neces-
sary to pass a special act of the legis-
lature. Wardens Kleist and Boomer a
year ago waged war on the pot hunters
up in the Winnebago Lake district and
made many arrests. The two wardens
were several times assaulted and threat
ened and there were arrests charging
them with assault on several occasions.
The pot hunters adopted the plan Of
!arresting the game wardens on charges
of assault every time a jury failed to
convict a man arrested for violation of
the game laws and Kleist and Boomer
were in court much Of the time. 1t was
asserted that they did not have the full
support of the game department. in their
fights against the band of pot hunters.
Kleist was in court for many days de-
Tending himself against assault charges
and the jury finally acquitted him. He
demanded expenses of the litigation
from the state fish and game depart
ment but the bill was not allowed, it
being held that no appropriation was
made for such purposes. Kleist who is
something Of a fighter refused to ac-
cept the word of the chief Of the de-
|partment as final and with the opening
of the legislative session he appealed
to the legislature. Kleist did not care
so much for the forty dollars as he did
for vindication of his work as a deputy
game warden. He held before the com
mittees. of the legislature that the fact
that he was discharged by jury show
ed that the action he had taken was
fully indicated and that for this rea-
son the state should pay his expenses.
His fight against what he termed dis
elimination in the matter Of expense
accounts is now matter Of record and
an entire chapter of the statutes will
be given over to his vindication. In
cidentally the state treasurer will at
once send to Kleist state treasury
warrant in the amount Of forty dollars
to clean up the expense account.
Kleist has had lot of fights with
the department. and several efforts have
been made to remove him from Office
but in all of these battles he has corae
off with flying colors.

A BIG AFTERNOON.

More than thirty of Edward Allie
man 8 hand painters and grainers of the
Simmons Mfg. Co., celebrated their
first annual picnic at Washington Is
land Saturday afternoon. The main
feature of the day was one of the fast
est ball games ever witnessed on the
island. Frank Keller was chosen UNI
pire and certainly had some close deci-
sions to argue out but was on the job
at all times. The hand painters were
very considerable and allowed the
grainers four runs and taking twenty
runs for themselves. Capt. GRATIS ex-
cuse for the grainers low score his
team pulled in was that they had very
little practice. Capt. Long of the hand
painters says his battery, Smith and
Winkler, was the cause Of it all. After
the game refreshments were served and
everyone reported one good time and
left for their homes at six p. m.

Members of the county board of Ken
osha county are today being urged to
hold special session for the enactment
of an ordinance which will give the
county chance to take the lion s share
Of the fines which may be collected
from people who are arrested for vio-
lating the speed limits on the improved
roads of the county. The Racine county
board at the suggestion of District At
torney W. w. Storms and Judge Smeid-
ing of that county are planning to pass
a similar ordinance. During the past
ten days more than twenty speeders
have been arrested on the county roads
and they have paid into the municipal
court sum close to $3.50 in fines and
costs and nearly all of this money will
have to be paid to the state treasurer.
District Attorney Storms of Racine
claims to have found provision in
recently enacted statute which gives
the county chance to secure all of
the amounts which may be collected in
fines In this manner. He has been asked
to send to Kenosha county the full ex-
tent of his Investigations along this
line and it is certain that the Kenosha
county board will get an ordinance into
operation just as soon as possible. At
the present time the county is paving
all of the expense of policing the roads
and the fines collected are going to the
state. The cost of this work is close
to 5000 month and had the
county the right to collect the fines
and turn them into its own treasury
the policing of the road would be self
sustaining. More than this unless the
speeders learn their lesson faster than
they have been doing the policing of
the roads could be made profitable to
the county. The county officials have
no desire to secure profit from the ar
rest of speeders and the only idea that
they have in seeking arrests is the pro-
lection of the public. The work of the
motorcycle deputies in the past ten days
has wrought wonders. The word that
Kenosha is arresting offedners against
the speed laws has been carried all
over this section of the country and for
the most part people who use the con.
crete roads are keeping the speed of
twenty five miles an hour. With COM
plete cooperation between the officials
of Racine and Kenosha county there is
little chance for speeders to escape ar
rest AS the speeders are now tanned
down considerably it is possible that
the members of the Kenosha county
board will not enact an ordinance until
the regular November session.

MOVE OFFICES TO kEN0sHA
All Activities Of Big Wire Rope Max
ing Plant Are to Be Conferred Here
In the Future = Macomber Joins
Ranks of Insurance Men.

The Macomber and Whyte Rope Com
pany is to be more Of Kenosha insti-
tuition as the general offices Of the
company, which have been located in
Chicago, are now being removed to this
city and within short time all of the
business of the company will be done
at "Ropeville. !" With the removal of
the offices from Chicago announcement
is made Of the retirement from the
company Of F. B. Macomber, secretary
and manager of the company who has
been associated with the company for
many years. George S. Whyte, tks
president Of the company, is now prac-
tically the sole proprietor of the big
business. Mr.. Macomber was very ac-
tive III the location of the plant in
Kenosha, but since the removal OF the
plant to this city he had given nearly
all of his time to the management of
the Chicago offices and Mr.. Whyte has
been the resident director of the inter
ests of the company. Following his re-
tirement from the company Mr..
Macomber has gone into the insurance
business in Chicago.
There has been a steady growth in
the business of the company since it's
removal to Kenosha few years ago.
At that time the company had one
plant at Coal City, Ill, and the other
at Fostoria, Ohio, but both Of these
plants are now in Ropeville. A large
number Of the men who were. employed
in the plants in the other cities have
removed to Kenosha and it is expected
that nearly all Of the men connected
with the Chicago offices of the com
pany will follow these offices to
Kenosha.
Under the new management of the
company Mr.. Whyte will remain the
president, and John w. johnson of
Chicago the treasurer. The new list
of officers has not as yet been made
public.
The company plant is now one of
the largest wire rope plants in the
country and like other Kenosha indus
tries it is rapidly forging its way to
the place where it is a power in its
line of business.
The number Of employees of the
company to the Kenosha plant has been
increased by leaps and bounds and
with the reorganization Of the com
pany and the Capitalization of all the
business in Kenosha it is certain that
further additions will be made to the
force of workmen.
For the present the company is to
continue under the old name, but a
change may be made later.

APPEALS TO HIGHER COURTS.

Hearing in the Circuit Court Later.

The Jensen Wilkins feud which has

no end of bitter feeling between two

making an assault on Mrs. Cora Will
kins. In an effort to put an end to the
bitter family trouble Judge Randall
assessed the minimum fine of dollar
and the costs Of the action and urged

OF the Jensen family was an appeal of

of the case will come up at the next
term of the circuit court. Many ar
rests have been made in connection

SAYS CONDUCTOR wRoNGED HIM
John Morris Charges M. r. & x. Con
ductor with Refusing to Give Change

1900
John Morris, residing at 316 Jenne
street, made. a report to the police de-
partment last Sunday night charging
conductor on the M. R. & K. road with
refusing to return his change from
bill of large denomination which he had
proffered in payment of his fare and
with throwing him off the car. Morris
declared that he boarded the car of
the company at Racine and when the
conductor came along he handed him a
ten dollar bill from which to take out
fare to Kenosha. "Wait minute, -
the conductor is alleged to have said
and pocketing the bill he went on
that the man returned and demanded
his fare. He asserts that when he told
him he had given him ten dollar bill
and demanded change that the conduc-
tor became angry. In the Trough
house" which followed Morris and
companion, A. Westkowski, also said
to be from Kenosha, were thrown off
the car. Morris was unable to give the
name of the conductor but it is thought
that it will be an easy matter to locate
him. Morris appeared to be pretty well
bruised up. His side of the story was
confirmed by his friend and the conduc-
tor is expected to be in Kenosha to-
morrow to give his side of the case.
Morris and his friend went to Central
Park after they had been thrown off
the car and came to Kenosha on a jit-
ney bus, hoping to make the complaint
and secure the arrest of the conductor
before the car left for Milwaukee.
