be Told to Get Out of Kenosha.

Man Whose Memory is Restored May
be Told to Get Out of Kenosha.
Frank Van VIE, the mystery
man. is not going to remain in Keno
sha much longer and the only thing
that is bothering him today is the nat
ure of his exit from the city. Chief
O'Hare has notified the authorities of
the Medford state bank that if they
want Van Vie for any charge they
must come to Kenosha today and get
him or notify the police that formal
warrants for his arrest are on the way
If this telegram does not reach Keno
sha before tonight the chief has de-
clared that he will take Van VIE to
the limits of the city and order him to
get out of Kenosha and stay out. He
told the chief that before he left Ke-
nosha he wanted to make statement
and it is probable that this statement
will be given to the chief this evening
Van Vie was remembering everything
pretty well on Sunday and he assured
Chief Hare that regardless Of mental
flip fops he would never forget the
Kenosha chief.

MANY PEOPLE SEE BOLD CRIME
Edw. Duffy and Mike o'Brien Claim
ing to be From New York Arrested
After Tussle With Pedestrians Who
Went to Franey's Rescue.

Joseph Franey, an employee of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, was held
up and robbed at the corner of Park
and West streets just after midnight
Saturday night and Mike 0 'Brien, who
claims to live at Niagara Falls and Ed
ward Duffy, who halls from New York
City, are held at the city lookup on
charges of assault and robbery. The
men have declared that they know
nothing about the robbery, but their
records are being investigated and
they will De held.
Franey had spent the night down
town and was on his way to his room
on West Prairie avenue when he was
accosted by the two strangers. He
was walking along the north side of
the high school grounds when he saw
the men at the corner just ahead of
him. He paid little attention to the
two fellows, but as he reached the
corner one of them, alleged by Franey
to have been Duffy, struck him blow
in the face knocking him down. There
was no warning of any kind given the
man and as he fell to the ground the
other man, alleged to be O'Brien
rolled him" and took his pocket book
which contained in the neighborhood
of thirty dollars
Franey made al effort to struggle
with the two men and he managed to
keep them busy long enough for other
pedestrians to come up. David Jeff,
William Snow and John Mccullough
came along and in response to the
shouts Of Franey, Mccullough took af-
ter the two men. He managed to catch
0 'Brien and the two men were strug-
Cling when the police arrived. The
men had none of the money which had
been taken from Franey when they
were arrested, but it was claimed that
they had dropped the pocket book con-
tanning the money few feet from
where the hold up took place. Two
men and two women came along
minute later and it is declared that
one of the women picked up the pocket
book. My, but you are lucky" one
of the members of the party said as the
young woman opened the pocket book
and got a sigh of the roll Of bills.
The four people left the place and their
identity has not as yet been establish
ed. The police, however, expect to
find them during the day and are
hopeful of recovering Franey; s money.
O'Brien, Duffy, Franey and other
members Of the party were taken to
the police office in the patrol wagon
and Franey declared that he could alb
solutely identify Duffy as the man who
had assaulted him and 0 'Brien as the
man who had taken his pocket book.
The two alleged holdup men were
about as tough looking customers as
have been picked up by the police in
some time. They claimed that they
had been in Kenosha for a couple of
days and that they were looking for
work 1t is thought that they had
planned to leap on train which was
standing at the Park street crossing at
the time Of the robbery, but they were
prevented in carrying this plan into
execution on account of their being
pursued. Several people in the neigh
borhood witnessed the assault and rob-
berry, but these people were not able
to distinguish the faces of the two men
who held up Franey.

1900 RECEIVE LICENSES.
Agents, Except Mutuals, Usually Rep
resent Two or More Companies.

IS
According to figures compiled by
Commissioner of Insurance Herman t..
Ekern there were issued by the in
surance department between Febru-
airy /, 1914, and March l, 1915, a
total of 1886 agents licenses to
1899 agents. The fire and marine
insurance companies, excluding Wis
consin local mutual companies, lead
with 22,218 licenses, to 5,727 differ
ent agents. The casualty companies
follow with 5,279 licenses to 1878
agents. The life companies are next
with 1927 licenses to 3,012 agents. Then
follow the city and village mutual
fire companies with l ,749 licenses to
576 agents; the farmer IS town mutuals
with 1857 licenses to 1857 agents;
the Wisconsin mutual casualty and ac-
cident companies with 981 licenses to
$50 agents, and finally the hail and cy-
clone companies with 408 licenses to
401 agents.
1t will be seen that among the town
mutuals, the hail companies, the life
companies and the casualty companies,
the agent ordinarily represents but one
company. With the fire companies, on
the average four companies, while
many agents represent 10 to 20 com
panies. Henry johnson of Edgerton,
Wis, representing 70 companies, is said
to represent more companies than any
other single agent in the country.
The amount collected by the de-
partment, as fees paid the state for
these licenses, was $4O,347.
