GOES UP FOR FIVE YEARS.
Silla Porifico Charged With Pandering
Pleads Guilty in Municipal Court.

Silla Porifco, the italian arrested a
week ago on sensational charges made
by his seventeen year old wife, plead
ed "guilty" to charges of pandering
in the municipal court this morning
and Judge Randall sentenced him to
term of five years at hard labor in the
state prison at Waupun. Poriico wept
copiously when he came into court for
sentence and he declared that while he
was willing to admit the charges made
by his wife that he did not know what
he was doing. DR.. Germano appeared
in behalf of the man and declared that
he had for some time been a sufferer
of epilepsy and Sheriff Stahl declared
that he lad suffered an attack of
epilepsy or some similar ailment while
he had been confined in the jail. Dis
trict Attorney Drury declared that he
did not believe that the maximum sent
ence Of twenty years in prison should
be pronounced In the case and it was
at his suggestion that the court i'm
posed The five year sentence. The wife
of the man was not in court when he
was sentenced.

He said he heard no whistle and so
tried to cross the tracks as he had done
many times before on his way to
Racine.
Just as the machine reached the top
of the tracks the engine died and he
got out to crank it. He was Mortified
to see the train laundering down upon
him. Ten seconds later the crash came.
He can remember nothing further.
The coroner was Immediately notified
of the tragedy and had the bodies NOV
ed to a Racine morgue.
The grade leading up to the tracks
is steep one end the tracks run dag
onally across at this point. The en-
gineer of the train apparently had no
chance to apply his brakes as the train
did not stop for some distance. The
pilot was found to be considerably dam
aged Of the little automobile there
remained hardly trace. 1t was broken
to smithereens.
The remains of the unfortunate wo-
man and the two boys We're terribly
mangled. The entire trestle over the
ravine was covered with pools of
blood 1t is probable that the bodies
were rolled this distance before being
mangled. After hitting the trestle
works the machine which was being
carried along by the passenger engine
was thrown about fifteen feet into the
gully. Hundreds of people were at
tracted to the scene which is near the

OBSERVE PAST MATRoNs NIGHT.
Members of Eastern Star Have Inter
esting Communication on Friday.

One of the most notable sessions
ever held by the members of the Keno
sha Chapter of the Eastern Star was
held on Friday evening at the Masonic
Temple when there was the annual OBJ
servance of Past Matron Is night.
More than two hundred and fifty mem
bers of the local chapter and visiting
members were in attendance. A dinner
was served at seven O'Clock. 1t was
one of the prettiest dinners ever served
at the Masonic Temple, the arrange
ments and decorations of the tables be-
ing decidedly tasty. Old fashioned
"Indian Brush" had been dug from
Kenosha county swamps to furnish the
unique decorations for the tables and
they looked exceedingly attractive
After dinner was over Judge Clifford
E. Randall oficiated as POSTMASTER.
In happy vein he introduced the
speakers of the evening, the list includ-
ing Mrs Ella Washburn of Racine,
Past Grand Worthy Matron; Past
Patron Conrad Shearer; Past Worthy
Patron Henry j. Hastings, and Worthy
Patron W. A. Matzke. After the speech
making was over a regular communica-
ton of the chapter was held at which
the degree of the order was conferred
upon three candidates. The chairs
were all filed by Past Matrons and
Past Patrons, Mrs. John B. Maloney
filing the chair of Worthy Matron in
a most acceptable manner. After the
ceremonies of the evening there was
an informal social hour.

THOUSANDS INTERESTED IN IT
Case Has Been on the Calendar of the
Court For Many Months and Judge
Belden Orders Attorneys to Bring it
to Trial With Opening of June Term.

Kenosha county is going to wash its
hands of the old Charles Durkee will
case and there is going to be some
final judicial determination of the stat
us of the ''Durkee Estate so far as
the circuit court Of this county is con-
cerned, as this morning Clerk of the
Court DeDiemar received an order from
Judge Belden announcing that the ap-
peal on the Durkee case from the coun-
ty court would be called for trial at
the opening of the June term of the
Circuit court next week.
It is probable that the final chapter
of the old fight to establish the rights
Of the people who have invested in the
Durkee Claims will be written be-
fore the end of next week.
The fight in the local court is over
the action of the county court in nam
ing an administrator de bonis non for
the estate Of the late Charles Durkee
On the upholding of this Judgment it is
declared stands the whole fight of the
men who have been ling the Durkee
claims with such success in the stock
selling game for the past twenty years.
The question of the existence of any
unadministered estate Of Charles Dur
kee will be decided in this case when
the court passes upon the necessity for
the appointment of an administrator.
Of course administration of the es-
tate has long ago been granted in the
state of Utah. but it is certain that if
the prop of the Kenosha courts is taken
from behind the old scheme that it will
fall and that the promoters of the
"claims will abandon their twenty
year old campaign.
The case has been on the calendar of
the Circuit court for several terms, but
it has been laid over from time to
time on account of illness of attorneys
and this is the first time that the
court has had chance to force a trial
of the issues. 1t is expected that at
torneys from all over the country will
come to Kenosha to watch the trial Of
JIG CASE. ll6 uGClSlOu Ill UH0 matter
will be left up to Judge Belden and on
account of the wide publicity that has
been given the case and on account of
the hundreds and probably thousands
of people who are interested in the al
legged estate by reason of shares of
stock purchased, the decision of the
court will be awaited with greatest in
terest.
When the court sets on next Thurs
day morning it will be with view of
cleaning up every case for trial in the
circuit court. It is possible that the
jury will be called ir for the hearing
of single criminal case. Clarence
Mitchell. a negro. charged with burg
larry, is in the county Jail awaiting
trial, and he is anxious to have the case
disposed of. 1t is just possible that
Mitchell will have a chance to plead
to the charges against him next week.
There are dozen other cases on the
calendar, but none Of them carries any
great public interest. The court has
intimated that all of these cases will
be called for trial in the order they
appear on the calendar and it is ex-
pected that every one of them will be
disposed of.

DECLINED TO FOLLOW LAW.
Wheatland Coup1o Who Sought License

Wheatland Coup1o Who Sought License
Fail TO Get the Proper Certificate.
There is one physician in Kenosha
county who refused to bow to the die
tates of the Wisconsin law in regard
to eugenic certificates for bridegrooms
This was DR. Fulton who resides in the
WheatIand neighborhood and the mar
riage of Fred Limahirst and Mrs.
Bertha Vogel of that ncighborhood has
been delayed on this account. Way back
in April the bridegroom applied for
license and brought in home made"
certificate signed by DR.. Fulton The
certificate did not follow the provisions
of the law and it was promptly sent
back with one of the regular printed
forms. DR.. Fulton signed this form af
ter he had made a number of changes
and the certificate again went back
with a notice that it must be in the
form requested by law. This, Fulton
declined to sign, and the application
for the license was withdrawn. It is
understood that the Wheatland couple
after long delay went to another
state and were married.
