AUTOMOBILE BUCKS AND IN
JURES TWO MEN.

That an automobile can be as obsti-
nate as bucking broncho and fully as
dangerous was shown Sunday night
when Thomas Houghton and Mr.. Day
ton of Kenosha received painful in
juries while attempting to crank the
former s machine. The Southport men
were on q, visit to Racine. just before
returning Mr.. Houghton, while crank
ing the machine, was cut on his hand
when the crank was caught in the sign
bearing the number, which is attached
to the automobile. The force of the
blow was sufficient to cut the skin to
the bone. Believing the injury to be of
only minor character, Mr.. Houghton
started to crank with his other arm
when the same thing occurred, incapa-
citating the uninjured hand Mr. Day
ton then tried to crank the car, but
suffered an injury to his hand similar
to Mr.. Houghton. Both men were TAX
en- to a physician who treated their in
juries. Later they were removed to
their homes in Kenosha. Examination
of the car, after the accident, showed
that the injuries were due to back
firing of the engine. journal

dominating. A three course dinner was
very well served by three eighth grade

This puts the county clerk in a
position he is supposed to fll-that of
county auditor continued Mr.. Hager.
"The bill further provides that the
county board may direct the clerk to
conduct detailed audit of the books
Of any county officer or employee. This
makes it possible for the clerk and the
county board to enforce a correct and
up-todate handling Of county finances
Assemblyman Hager points out that
the state has such system in force
and that all of the county treasurers
pay out nearly two times as much
money as the state treasurer. The
bill has already been engrossed in the
house. Many of the county clerks and
members Of the county boards of the
state have written to Assemblyman
Hager approving the measure.

RESIGNATION BY TELEGRAPH
Desk Sergeant Of Kenosha Force Wires
That He Is Married and Is Leaving
Shortly for China Where He Plans
to Remain Indefinitely.

+ X
Martin Christlanson, desk sergeant Of
the Kenosha police department for
many years, has resigned his position
and has left the Kenosha police force
Christianson telegraphed his resigna-
ton from the force all the way from
Richmond, CAL, and with it he tele-
graphed the announcement that it was
all the fault of Cupid that he was go
ing to quit being a policeman.
The interesting little story connect
ed with Cupid pulling Christianson
away from the brass buttons of a po-
hceman s uniform, is not to be made
public just at present. Sergeant Chris
tianson has been married out at Rich
mond and his wife does not care for the
climate of Wisconsin and prefers to
live elsewhere. Who is the bride Of
the sergeantg' This is the question
that was uppermost at the police Of
fee today and there was no one to ans
wer it. Several of the members of the
force had a memory of lot of letters
which had passed between the Kenosha
police office and Richmond, Gal. They
remembered that at nights when there
was not a great deal to do at the police
office the cergeant had been busy writ
ing these letters and it is thought that
the woman whom Christianson mar
ried at Richmond week ago was the
recipient Of these letters.
It is an open secret among the fellow
officers of Christensen that he had been
following closely the advertisements in
a matrimonial paper and they insist
that out Of answers to some Of these
advertisements Sergeant Christensen
found the one woman who could fill the
vacant spot in his heart.
The sergeant left Kenosha two weeks
ago. At that time it was expected that
he would spend his annual vacation at
the old home out near Union Grove.
The first letter received from him a
week ago caused mild surprise. 1t was
dated from Richmond, Cal. The BOYS
at the police Office began to compare
notes and they spelled out wedding
bells early in the game. They wired
congratulations but got no return mes
sage. This morning the chief received
formal announcement that Christian
son would not return to Kenosha.
"Please send my salary as due to
me at Richmond. My wife and / are
planning to leave in the near future to
see the world and we plan to sail for
China the latter part of this month. -
This. was all that the message convey
ed. The unpaid salary was telegraphed
tc the honeymooners. Before Christian
son and his bride start for China it is
expected that some further facts in re-
gard to the wedding will be sent to
Kenosha. The benedict policeman had
been a member Of the force for the
past six years and he had rendered eff
fcient service as night desk sergeant.
His resignation has been submitted
to the board of police and fire commits
sioners and it will be accepted at the
next meeting of that body.

MAKES COUNTY CLERK AUDITOR
Capitalization of Bookkeeping Work of
Wisconsin Counties Meets With Sup
port From Many Of the Members Of
the State Legislature.

That the bill just recommended for
passage in the assembly making the
county clerk the sole auditor Of the
county will do more to put the finances
of the county on a business-like basis
than any other measure before the leg
islature is the declaration of Assembly
man John F. Hager of Trempeleau
county. This county finance bill is the
longest measure before the house for
consideration. Mr.. Hager was former
ly county treasurer Of Trempeleau
county.
This bill is intended to do away
with the confusion, cumbersome and
inefficient form of county government
which now exists in county finances, Y
said Assemblyman Hager today. Its
chief purpose is to bring the actual
issuance of county orders into the
hands Of one oficial-the county clerk.
BY doing this it makes possible an
accurate check upon the condition of
each of the many county funds. 1t
enables the county board and the
taxpayer to secure correct informa-
ton in regard to the financial status
of the county.
The bill does not take away powers
now possessed by any county official,
committee or board. It advocates no
particular system Of book keeping to
decide just how it's details shall be car
ried out. It outlines a uniform ar
rangement for all counties. It's effect
will be to legalize attempts that have
already been made by resolutions of
county boards to bring some sort of
control by the county clerk over the
finances of the county.
Under existing laws there are APP
proximately thirty-one different officers
authorized to draw orders on the
county treasury. These orders may re-
main outstanding for long period SO
that it is practically impossible to find
out the actual condition of the various
funds at any given time. Both the
county clerk and county treasurer
work in the dark under a patchwork
system which has outgrown its useful
ness'
Assemblyman Hager's bill provides
that the county clerk shall draw an or
der upon the county treasurer upon the
receipt of a certificate properly APP
proved by the official or officials
authorized to spend the money. This
order, like check, goes to the person
who has a claim against the county
and is presented by him at the county
treasury or at the bank of county de-
post for payment. The certificates are
fled by the clerk as vouchers for the
expenditures He can examine them
as they come in and thus audit the
payments.
