SUPPOSEDFRIENDS Use A GUN
Fish Merchant is Tied to Wheel of His
Automobile While Two Bandits Take
$50 in Money Just After II Today
Posses scour Two Counties
From TUESDAYS Daily


In the boldest daring daylight hold
up ever known in this section of the
state two holdup men worked between
Racine and Kenosha this morning and
Jacob Christensen, Racine fish mer
chant, who does thriving business
along the Lake Shore Road, was held
up and robbed of fifty dollars in
money. For daring and spectacular
work the hold up had all the thrills of
the old border days.
Christensen had covered his route
and was driving his automobile slowly
along the road half mile north of
Central Park when two strangers ap-
peared along the side of the road
Lo jake one of them shouted at
him and as he walked out into the road
Christensen brought his automobile to
a stop. FWant to give us a lift to
Racine the man continued and Christ
ensen with willingness to be obliging
opened the door of his automobile and
one man crawled into the front seat
and the other one got into the rear
seat Christensen went to start the
automobile again when the man sit
ting at his side shouted, "Now we
want your change. guess not, y
Christensen replied and as he spoke the
man struck him blow in the face. AT
the same time he felt the cold steel of
a revolver pressed against his head by
the man who was in the back seat of
the automobile. With surprising dex-
terity the man in the rear seat threw
a rope over the head of the luckless
Christensen and bound him fast
Now just be quiet and we II get
through in a hurry, y the man along
side of him said, and he got busy. He
took fifty dollars in bills and small
change from the wallet and pockets
of Christensen and then the two men
leaped out Of the automobile and ran
over into the woods. Christensen
found himself tied to the steering
wheel sof the automobile with the rope
closely wound about his wrists He
managed to release himself and hur-
ried to Central Park where he sent no
tice of the crime to both Racine and
Kenosha. Racine at once put four
motorcycle officers ON the road and
Sheriff Stahl took up the chase from
this end. Up to a late hour this after
noon the men had not been captured
although the officers have been given
an excellent description of them.

RISKS LIFE FOR LITTLE ONES
Clad Only in Night Clothes Woman
Bushes Through Walls Of Flame and
Carries Little Children to Safety
Falls Exhausted from Efforts.
From Tuesday Dailyl


Mrs. Olga Judah, aged rs years, wife
of Albert Judah and one of the most
prominent of the younger women of the
town of Randall in this county proved
her mothers love at an early hour this
morning when Drawing fire and smoke
and risking her own life she carried
her three little children from the burn
ing home of the family near the village
of Power g Lake. In her heroic efforts
to save the children from death Mrs
Judah was severely burned and she is
now confined to her bed at the home of
a neighbor suffering from great wounds
on her head and arms and breast. Mr.
and Mrs. Zudah and their infant child
were sleeping in a room on the first floor
of the house. In the early morning
Mrs. Zudah awoke to find the room fill
ed with smoke. AS she opened the
door leading to the hall the flames
rushed into the room. She managed to
awaken her husband who was practi-
cally overcome by smoke and the three
managed to escape through window
clad only in their night clothing. Zu
dab took the baby in his arms and ran
to the nearest house to find shelter for
it and aid in fighting the flames. Mrs.
Judah gave her attention to the little
son and daughter who were sleeping in
the house. Fighting her way against
the smoke and running through a wall
Of flame she managed to reach the room
on the second floor of the house only to
find that both of the children had been
Iovercome by smoke. She took the lit
tie girl in her arms and carried her
downstairs. The woman fell to the
ground exhausted but the mother s love
asserting itself she made the second trip
through the burning house and carried
out the little boy. By this time Judah
had returned with a neighbor and they
found the mother and her two children
living unconscious on the ground, they
were clad only in their night clothing.
Neither of the children had been burn
ed as Mrs. Zudah had wrapped them in
blanket before carrying them from
the house. The two children recovered
consciousness within a few minutes and
they were taken to the home of neigh
bors. Mrs. Zudah had many severe
burns.
The house together with all of its con-
tents was destroyed, the loss being in
the neighborhood of 100000. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

ALDERMEN IN MERRY BATTLE.
All Night Meeting of the Council Is
Featured With Frequent Personal
Tits Between MANIFESTATION on
South Street Is Deferred Again.

The city council met in regular SEES.
sion at the city hall on Monday evening,
they met in regular session until nearly
one O'Clock this morning and the meet
ing was one featured by bitter personal
clashes of the members. Outside of
the making of the annual tax levy,
which is mentioned in another column
the most interesting thing to come be-
fore the council was a letter from the
board of water commissioners asking
the city to order bond issue of $780,
600 to provide for the completion of the
new water plant. In the letter the
members of the board insist that there
is no desire to shift the burden of fnan-
cial responsibility from the shoulders Of
the water company but that the city
bonds are asked as the best method to
reach the end with the understanding
that every cent of the principal and in
terest will be paid from the receipts of
the water company. The members Of
the board held that the banks of the
city had shown that it would be difficult
to float so large an issue of non-iability
bonds, or bonds on which the surety
would be only the physical property of
the Kenosha water company. The let
ter showed that a regular city bond
could be sold at lower rate of interest
and at much higher premium and that
for this reason it would be the part Of
real economy for the city to issue this
sort Of bond. The matter was re-
ferred without discussion to the COM
mittee on buildings and water works
with instructions to report at the next
regular meeting. The members of the
water board are anxious OF have the
bonds issued as early as possible in or
der to insure contractors prompt pay
ments on the work as it is installed
Tt is not thought that there will be any
opposition to the making of the bond
issue provided it is shown to the coun-
ell that the water company will be able
to meet all payments of principal and
interest as they may fail due.

MILK WAGON HITS STREET CAR.
Henry Mau Has His Wagon Damaged
but Nary Drop of the Milk was
Spilled in the Accident.

Henry Mau, well known milk dealer,
had "lucky' accident at the corner
Of Market and Third streets early this
morning when his milk wagon collided
with a street car. Both the wagon
and the car were going west and near
the corner the driver was busy arrang-
ing his route and forgot all about the
lines. The horse turned suddenly and
side swiped the street car with enough
force to cause the windows in the
wagon to be broken and some of the
milk bottles, the empty ones, met a
similar fate. The street car was not
damaged.

FIND BODY ALONG The TRACK
Had Evidently Met Death Early in the
Morning While Walking Home After
Attending Medicine Show Perform
ance at Village on Monday Eve.
utrmz.znunzzzassrzm,zua

Harry Faber, aged twenty five years
and one of the best known young men
in the Silverlake neighborhood in the
town of Salem, was ground to death
under the wheels of train on the 500
line half mile south of Silverlake
station late last night or early this
morning. The body of the young man,
terribly mangled, was found along the
tracks of the road at an early hour this
morning. The details of the accident
are shrouded in mystery, but several
trains passed through the village dur
ing the night and one Of these must
have been the cause Of the fatal acct
dent. Young Faber lives about mile
southeast Of the village. He had gone
to the village on Monday evening to
attend performance given by medi-
cine show there. He had been one of
the jolliest members of a party Of
young people at the performance. AT
ter the show was over he had talked
with his friends for half an hour and
with happy "good night he had
started off to walk down the track to
his home. This was the last seen of
him until his body was found along
the track. An inquest is to be held
over the remains this afternoon and
it is possible that some further facts
in regard to the accident may be
brought out. Faber had lived in the
silverlake neighborhood for many
years and had been employed by sew
eral of the ice companies there. He
was unmarried. No arrangements have
as yet been made for the funeral

Hold Up Pavement.

A lengthy protest against the pro-
posed paving of Pomeroy street during
the year 1916 was received from prop
erty owners on the street and this with
the report recommending the paving of
the street was referred back to the
street assessment committee for further
consideration. Tt is declared to be i'm
probable that the council will order the
proposed improvement.
A number Of kicks ON charges made
against property owners for snow show
cling were received and after some
caustic comment ON the manner in
which these charges were made the
committee on streets and alleys was di-
rected to make study of the charges
for snow shoveling and report at the
next meeting of the council. It is GER
tain that some new system will be
adopted to keep track Of this work dur
ing the coming winter months.
F. r. Jones offered to present to the
city lot at the corner of Ashland ave-
nue. and the Northwestern track to be
used as a site for fire station or as a
place for recreation purposes with the
understanding that the city would pay
the sewer tax on the property. The
matter was referred to the committee
on fire department for consideration and
some report on the plan will be made
at the next meeting of the council.

"would stand patti on its reouisition.
This was taken to mean that the board
may 60 into the courts to force the
council to raise the money which it
deems necessary for the schools for the
coming year. The discussion all hing
ed about the purchase of the ssBonny
Hame" property but the matter was in
no way cleared up.
The report on the proposed redistrict-
ing of the city was not presented but
it is understood that it will be whipped
into shape and an ordinance providing
for the proposed change of ward lines
presented at the next meeting of the
council.
Air Soiled Linen.
The members of the fire department
committee aired their personal griev-
ances in the meeting and Aldermen
Kisten and Tully went to it in hammer
and tongs fashion. The trouble all
came up over a protest from Michael
Bode that his company had not been
given a chance to bid on furniture for
the fire houses. Bode declared that
there had been careful effort to elm
mate his company as bidder. The
two aldermen disclaimed responsibility
for the condition in language rather
more forcible than elegant and the mat
ter all ended there.
The eight hour ordinance bobbed up
serenely again and on the demand of
Alderman Goodman the council voted
to take the ordinance from the street
committee and refer it to the committee
on judiciary.
Action on the opening Of South street
was deferred until the next meeting of
the council on account of the fact that
there had been no communication re-
ceived from interested property owners.
It is probable that final action in the
matter will be taken at the next meet
ing.

inc business and it was long after mid
night when the council adjourned
