JUST LIKE FROM TRENCHES.
Foreigners With Badly Battered Heads
Appear in Municipal Court Today.

The lobby Of the Municipal Court
looked like field hospital in the Eu-
ropean war district this morning when
three men who had part in bloody
fight at Polish saloon on the corner
Of Elizabeth street and Fremont Az
enue were brought in to answer
charges of disturbances Evidently the
fighting had been as hot as in some of
the trenches in Russia Poland. One man
had his entire head swathed in band
ages and one Of the others had a face
which looked like it had been caught
in the teeth of threshing machine
The men Sam Kuhka, Walter Kuklinski
and Steve Kuhka refused to tell just
what it was all about but all pleaded
guilty to charges of disturbance. Kuk-
linski, the worst injured of the trio de-
clined to "squeal" and it was under
stood that his fine was paid by the
other two men. It is said that the fight
started while the men were discussing
the war, When police officers Field
schau and Biennemann got there the
saloon looked like the interior of a

WHO ELSE DID HoLLER RoBq
Self Confessed Burglar Had Lot of
Stuff Not Claimed by City Victims.

John Holler, the Chicago man who
went to the state prison for five years
after pleading guilty to burglarizing
the homes of Mrs. Carrie Wilson and
Ray Dolan evidently did not tell of
every burglary he committed. Tuesday
afternoon the contents Of the pack
which had been carried by Holler were
spread out on table at the police
headquarters. People who had been
robbed went to the police Office and
claimed their valuables but when they
were through there was considerable
amount of stuff which had not been
claimed. This included a Masonic pin,
an Eastern Star pin, gold band we'd
ding ring, several chains and other
small pieces of jewelry. The police
think that it was possible that this was
taken from some house in the neigh
borhood of the Wilson or Dolan home.
People missing anything Of this kind
can recover it by calling at the police
Office and proving the property. Hol-
Ter insisted before leaving for prison
that he had entered no other houses in
Kenosha.

GET SMALL sum FROM DESKS
No Sign of Any Disturbance of Locks
on Doors Rut Condition in Store
Shows Plainly the Visit of the Burg
lar-No Clew to the Robbers.

The police are considerably mystifei
over a robbery which took place at the
furniture store of Jacob Holan in the
Epstein building, near the corner of
Market and West Main street, some
time Tuesday night or early this morn
ing. 1t appears that the place was
entered by means of skeleton key and
that the same methods were used to
gain entrance to a drawer In the desk
from which cash to the amount of SO
was taken Evidently the burglars had
hoped for larger haul At times the
collections of the furniture company
amount to a considerable sum but
Tuesday night being a rainy night there
was little business and for this reason
the amount in the cash drawer was de-
cidedly smaller than on normal occa-
sion. The fact that the place had been
entered was discovered when Holan
opened the store for business this morn
ing. There were evidences in severn
parts of the store of the visit of the
burglar but there was nothing to show
how entrance had been made to the
store. It is thought just possible that
the fellow secreted himself in the store
before the closing hour on Tuesday.
There are many massive pieces of fur
niture in the store and it would have
been an easy matter for man to have
concealed himself behind some of this
furniture and escape detection with lit
q husiTysss going or ian cIoee9 up
The store late Ii sday evening and
carefully locked the doors There was
nothing to show shat any Of the locks
on the doors had been tempered with
and the windows were locked just as
they had been left on Tuesday night.
The proprietor of the place reported the
robbery to the police early this morn
ing and Chief Feldschau made an in
vestigation. Tt was declared that there
Vas no reason to believe that any one
connected with the company could have
had any part in the robbery.
There seems to be a burglary cpl
demic in KenoshA just at present and
the police are being kept busy at night
answering calls of women who
are frightened by people proving
about their homes. Th police are not
in any way Directing to these reports
coming in and every one of them is be-
ing Investigated. 1t is just possible that
with such reports and Investigations
the police will be able to break up these
burglar bands working in the city.
Four burglars have been sent to state
institutions from Kenosha within a
week and the police are hopeful that
q same fate can be melted out to all the
house breakers who work IN the CITY,
As yet no clew has been found to the
man who worked at the Holan store
