Conforti Bakery on North Fremont Ave-
nue. Reduced to As.es

The Italian bakery on North Fremont
avenue was Quilted by fire just before
two O'Clock Sunday morning and the
flames which originated in the bakery
spread to surrounding buildings and
brought destruction to two barns. The

hood of 800 and it was said to be en-
tirely covered by insurance. The bakery
Is owned by Sam Conforti and it is be-
ing operated by Font and Santi. The
men lad locked up the place at six
clock Saturday evening and the fire
had been pulled out from under new
bake oven the installation of which
had been completed only short time
ago. The blaze at the bakery was dis
covered by Police Officer Henry Meur-
er. He noticed that the bake shop and
the barn adjoining were in flames and
before the alarm was turned in Meurer
rushed to the barn and showing a lot
OF personal bravery he broke into the
barn and managed to effect the rescue
Ct three horses. Then he turned in the
alarm. When the fremen arrived the
file had secured a big Roadway and it
was found impossible to save the bak-
cry. The firemen gave their attention
to the surrounding buildings. The bak-
cry has had a stormy career. Some
time ago it was partially destroyed by
a charge of dynamite being placed I'M
der it. No arrests were ever made in
this case. Fire Chief Isermann declar-
ed that after an investigation he was
convinced that the fire Sunday morning
was the result of an accident. The bak-
cry will be rebuilt at once

NOTE IN BoTTLE-JUsT A JOKE.
Supposed Suicide is Found Well and
Happy Regardless of Note Found.

The ''note in the bottle'' joker is
busy again and on Sunday morning
Frank Steinmetz, son of City Treasurer
SteinTetz while walking along the
beach off the Kenosha Country Club
picked up bottle with note in it..
The note was purported to be signed
by L. A. Wissmann, Chicago man and
it indicated that he had committed
suicide. 1t read:
"My wife don t love me any more.
All is forgiven. Whoever finds this
notify Henry Wardman, 6346 Broadway,
Chicago. All is forgiven.
The note bore the date Of September
7, 1915.
Shortly after the note was found,
Wardman was given the grewsome mes
sage at his home in Chicago. Is that
so?' was his comment. q Wissmann
just left here an hour ago and at that
time he was very much alive" Later
Wissmann was reached by telephone
and he also declared that the report
of his suicide was premature. Just
the work of some practical joker, !" was
his comment. II fail to see the joke, y
he added.

From the present outlook, one of

out doubt the discussions will be live

Marchetti, of Wausau. The findings
of the survey made by the board of

Miss Agnes Wilson, and some important
public relief official will present his
views on the law 1t is expected that
there will be large attendance of in
terested people from the various coun-
ties of the state where mothers pen

two years. From present indications
there certainly will be some scrap. In
addition to this important question
there will be a lively discussion on the

just after eleven clock Sunday morn
ing when a Ford automobile owned by
G. Nyholm $40 Rowland avenue went
into the ditch at > point half mile
east of Pleasant Prairie village on
the Wilmot road. The automobile turn

lous that none of the people in the
car were injured. The automobile had
been used as jitney and the driver of
it declared after the accident that he
did not know the identity of his pass
engers. He was too tickled over the
fact that all escaped with nothing more
than slight bruises to waste any time
worrying over just who they were. In
the car were three men, a woman and
a baby and a young man about sixteen
years Of age. They were all able to
walk about the wreck of the car and
later they were brought to Kenosha.
The automobile was so badly damaged
that it will be out of service for some
time. 1t was brought in to one Of the
LEGAL garages ON Sunday night.

kenosha to Receive Sl4, 3O3.03 From
Utility Company.
If the amount of the state taxes paid
by the Wisconsin Gas and Electric com
pany in Kenosha is to be taken as the
guide the jitneys have taken just $374
away from the company here, This is
the reduction in tax of the Kenosa COM
pany over the tax paid a year ago.
The State Tax Commissioner announces
that the amount of tax to be paid to
Kenosha by the company this year is
$14,303.03 as compared with ST., 340.4 A
in the previous year. Of course this
represents only a small percentage
of the profits of the company and the
actual reduction in the amount of fares
collected is much In excess of this
amount. This is however the difference
to the city. Officials Of the company
hold that the tax to be paid in Keno
sha is nearly as large this year on ac-
count of increase in other lines of bust
ness which have nearly equahzed the
losses Of the railway business.
