KRATz REPRIMANDED

Last summer the city bought a
motor fire truck which made two fire
horses spuerfulous. Chief Kratz took
it upon himself to sell the two horses.
The city council shortly after by vote
of II to | ratified the sale and said the
chief had obtained a good price,
promptly turned in the money and his
action was only overzealousness in the
city's interests. Scherer who voted
mo" on this filed formal charges
against the chief for the attempted
sale. The commission considered they
had statutory duty to have public
hearing. 1t came of last evening at
the assembly room in the Court house.
commissioners Tech Kelluer, Staehls
and Meyer were present Court
Reporter Raether took the testimony
Complainant Scherer was sworn and
testified briefly after the chief had
pleaded mot guilty. Chief Kratz was
sworn and gave the history of the two
nOIsts anu COuSluerdUle eNlueuCe IndJ
the price received was almost e1ces-
Sive. He offered a certified copy Of
che city councils vindcation. He
said the mayor new of the sale before
hand
The mayor was called and sworn and
said his recollection was that it was
after the sale when he spoke to the
chief. Alderman Bigel volunteered to
testify and said that as one OF the
three members of the councils fire and
water committee he had told the chief
to sell the horses If he had good opp
ortunity. There was considerable talk
and then the commission retired to
consult. They came back and made
findings that the chief had acted i'll
egally and imposed quite severe re-
primand and hoped it wouldn't happen
again.

FORGED CHECKS
FOR PETTY GAMBLING.

One of those frequently recurring in
cidents some of which gain publicity
and some of which are covered in
which young man seems to lose not
only his sense of property rights but
all natural instincts of caution and
common sense started the city last
week. Joe Kchail, fifteen years old,
employed by A. o. Anderson, electric
al contractor, forged his employers
name to a series of checks and cashed
them in total Of about 500. This
money he blew in on slot machines,
"26" games and punch boards. The
latter form of petty gambling has be-
come very popular in recent years and
board has decorated nearly every
small store in the city particularly
places frequented by boys. This silly,
sure thing game had fascination for
young Kchail and he would spend a
couple of dollars in nickel punches at
one time. The forgeries extended ov.
er a period of ten days. He secured
MIR. Anderson's blank checks at the
noon hour and made out the checks to
himself in sums of $l5 90, $500, $40. S6
and several OF $1,000. They were
clumsy forgeries but the Anderson
flank and The use OF the Office hecto-
graph together with his employment
at Anderson helped him to utter the
bogus paper. He spent $40 W in one
place on a punch board. The indigna
tion aroused by these men taking a
boys money in this fashion set the po-
lice to work. The order was given to
remove all gambling devices from the
city as If by magic. Chief Groffman
says they are gone for good but those
who remember many similar anti slot
machine crusades In the past will have
to be shown.
Kchail's case in court has not been
disposed Of. Some of the places where
he squande-ed money have offered to
return the same. In court the young.
ster confessed that some time ago he
stole bicycle from a son of Gustav
Torrison but said he did not intend to
keep it. Why young man will COM
nit acts like these check forgeries to
indulge in useless frivolity when the
certainty OF speedy detection ought to
be plain to the dullest mind passes un.
derstanding.
There Is some chance OF the Elks
big Brother" movement saving the
boy from Imprisonment by having him
looked after by An appointss OF the
court.

NEW INTERURBAN A CERTAINTY

1t becomes more certain that the
proposed Green Bay Sheboygan inter-
urban line via manitowoc is the real
thing. 1t begins to be apparent that
the promoters expect to sell not only
stock but transportation. Present
plans are said TO be to raise consider
able part of the cost by stock subscrip-
tions and to bond the the line for the
balance. That is matter Of cousre.
A. O. Lingelhach, promoter has opened
offices in the wood Block and will
make manitowoc the headquarters Of
the company. All the plans of the
company mu st be filed with the State
Railroad Commission and that body
passes upon the necessity for the line.
There is no doubt about this permit
being granted. The officials say en-
gineeripg work is to be commenced on
the line at once. No trouble in fl.
nancing is anticipated

VACCINATE OR
STAY OUT OF SCHOOL

There has been quite a little furry
the past few days over the order pro-
hibiting schoo. attendance by unvacc.
mated pupils. The order was to go in
to effect December lst. The Board Of
Health is composed of the Health OIL
Ger and three aldermen. The three
aldermen put a notice in the papers
Tuesday stating that the'order is not
in force till further notice. Health
officer Meany received telegram
from Madison stating that the Board Of
Health cannot back down. The city
attorney filed an opinion quoting the
statute Section l4l3D, which provides
that the order must emanate from the
Board OF Health. The Health officer
said it had been made by the Board of
Health. A majority OF the board did
not so understand it. They all met
again Wednesday aud it appearing
that one of the objections is directed
against the charges OF 80 cents per pa
tient the board under authority OF Il
statute voted fot compulsory vaccinat-
ion but at the city's expense under in
structions that the statute requires
them to make vaccination condition
for school attendance when the disease
is present in the city. The matter Of
refuuding the cost TO the hundreds al
ready vaccnated will be left to the
city council. The order will now
doubtless be enforced. There is con.
siderable element OF the population ap.
posed to vaccination on principle and
their children will probably bs out Of
school for while.

OUR HARBOR. Our harbor was en-
livened on Saturday last, by the arriv-
al of a large fleet of vessels, seeking
safety from the threatening storm.
We did not count them, but there
must have been fully thirty sail that
entered the harbor between the hours
of , and O'Clock 2. NJ. On Sunday
they unfolded their wings and took
flight to their several destinations.

Jarges in tow, put into this port on

THE SERENADE.-The many friends
of Fred Schroeder gave him serenade
at his residence, en- YorH street, on
Friday night last, in honor of his
birthday. First came Mr.. Veins.
chenk's band, which executed several
beautiful pieces, after which the Saen-
geround Singing Society sang two or
three pieces. Fred came to the con-
clusion that 1t was a pleasant thing to
bave birthday, and asked his friends
in. Mrs. Schroeder served the guests
with nice lunch, while Fred took
good care that they should not become
dry for the want of wine or lager.
Before leaving they concluded to hav-
ing re. union just one year from that
happy occasion, and adjourned after
carrying the vote unanimously.
FIRE.-On Saturday night. at about
9 O'Clock, the frame barn of Caspar
Even, Esq, 9 miles from this city on
the Green Bay road, was completely
destroyed by fire. The loss TO Mr..
Even is quite large one, including II
sheep, II tons of hay, | reaper , plows,
? seighs, drags, cultivator, &c, invov-
ing a loss of about $1,000; insured for
$500 The fire was evidently the work
of an incendiary, AS no fire vas used
about the place since last harvest. 1t
behooves our citizens to be on the
watch for these gentry, who Seem to
be pretty thick among us just now,
and if caught they should be transfer
red to the tender mercies of Judge
Lynch.

TEACHERS MEETING.

The Southern section aud the North
West sections of the County Teachers
Association will hold their next meet
ing jointly at Mauitowoc, Saturday
January Is, 1916. 1t seems 10 be about
as convenient for most teachers of these
sections to come TO Mantowoc as to
meet elsewhere. While the meeting is
primarily intended for the teachers OF
the above two sections any teacher is
welcome. Many teachers live in the
city or come to the city and surely these
ought to take in part OF the meeting if
not all oft, The program which fol-
lows will surely be profitable. The
people on the program realizing some
of the places where immediate help is
necessary have each taken up one topic
for discussion.

In answering this question II must

the lawn soils adjacent, the sidewalks

there are many subterraneab springs
