SEEKS NEWS OF BROTHER.
Mail Carrier at Adrian Mich, Declares
That Brother was Drowned.

Chief of Police O'Hare has received
q letter from Benjamin Ehrbright, a
mail carrier at Adrian, Mich, asking
that an effort be made to find the facts
in regard to the drowning of his broth
err, Frank Ehrbright, who is said to
have been drowned off the steamer
haywood here. The haywood is one
of the boats of the Hill Steamboat line
and at the Office of the company this
morning it was declared that there
was no record Of such man having
lost his life off any of the boats of the
company The Adrian man declares
that he has sought information on vari-
Gus occasions, but has been unable to
get any definite facts in regard to the
accident. The records Of the Keno
sha county coroner will be searched in
an effort to find the facts relating to
the mans death 1T is declared, how
ever, that there is little hope that any
thing will be found in these records to
clear up the mystery.

ICE FIELD IN THE LAKE.
Comes Over Against West Shore but
Navigation is Not Interfered With.

The shift in tie wind last night
brought a great ice field which is now
packing in along the entire west coast
of the lake. Vessel men declare that
the channel leading to the Kenosha har-
Dor is open and that the coming of the
Ice has not caused any trouble to ma
vigators as yet. However, the lake is
full of floating ice and it is being
packed against the west coast so strong
that it is feared that within a short
time the channel will be closed. No
trouble has been experienced by the
water company as yet, but it is feared
that there will be lot of trouble from
anchor ice when a shift in the wind
breaks up the big ice field. Skaters
are being warned to keep off the big
ice field on the lake as this is very
treacherous and the field is liable to
break up at any time. Accidents OF
other years should serve as warning
to men and boys to keep off the ice
field in the lake. Several people came
near losing their lives year ago with
just such conditions.

JEFFERY QUAD STANDS SERVICE
Kenosha Made Truck Appeals to For
eign Governments After Actual Tests
on the Field of Battle-order For
the Trucks Totals 100000.

The Thomas B. Jeffrey Company has
cut in on the big business of furnish
ing trucks for the Allied armies of Eu-
rope. Following negotiations by Presi-
dent Charles t. Jeffrey and Salesman
Hill of the company, who are now in
the war zone, Salesmanager E. S. Jor-
dan wired from New York this morn
ing that he had closed with the repre-
sentatives of the Allies for a contract
of 100000 work of trucks. These are
to be delivered to New York and from
that city shipped to the French army
now in the field.
In securing this great order for
trucks the Jeffrey company has gone
into competition with lot of Amer
can and foreign truck makers Some
time ago the company sold small or.
der of trucks to the Allies and the four
wheel drive truck has been put into
the most strenuous competitive tests
with trucks made in both American and
foreign factories and it is declared
that today the Kenosha made truck is
the most popular with the men in
charge of the movement Of supplies fol
the great armies in the field.
On account of the demand for an i'm
mediate closing of the contracts for
the big order of trucks Salesmanagen
Jordan was forced to desert the Chi
cago automobile show and go to New
York to meet the agents of the Allied
armies. No formal statement has been
made by the company as to when ship
ments of the big order will be started
but it is understood that there is an
immediate demand for the trucks in
Europe. The local company will have
nothing to do with the shipment of
the trucks after they reach the eastern
seaboard. For several days rumors of
the coming of the big order have been
rife about Kenosha, but it was not I'M
til Friday that the order was finally
closed. Mr.. Jeffrey and Mr.. Hill are
still abroad and it is certain that the
contract just closed is the opening
wedge for other contracts which will
assure the prosperity of the Kenosha
plant.
In addition to the big order for
trucks the reports from the big show
in Chicago indicate shat the sale of
Jeffrey pleasure cars is going to more
than keep pace with the big sales in
other years. The sales of Jeffrey
trucks to domestic purchasers will be
unusually large following the show and
combining all these elements promises
to bring to the Jeffrey company by far
the largest year IS business in the his
tory of this great company.
There was great rejoicing over the
securing of the big French order among
the men at the Jeffrey plant today.
