Sixty Year Old Machinist
Dropped Dead at the Of
flee Of DR.. c. A. Caughey
This Morning.
TOOK HEADACHE POWDER

Sven Legreid, sixty years Of age, an
employee of the Nash Motors Company,
residing at 852 Dayton street, died I'M
der unusual circumstances at the Office
of DR.. G. r. Caughey in the Epstein
building at the corner of Market and
West Main streets, just after ten
o. CLOCK this morning. DR.. Caughey
was just opening his desk to start an
examination into the condition of
Legreid when the man fell to the floor.
He was dead when the doctor reached
him. The remains were removed to
the Mischler morgue and an investi-
cation is to be made into the cause of
the death. Only short time before
the sudden death of the man he had
taken a headache powder at one of the
down town drug stores.
Legreid came into the drug store at
the corner of West Main and Park
streets just after ten clock and asked
for DIR. Caughey. At the time the doe
tor was busy with another patient in
the rear of the drug store and he ask
ed Legreid to wait for minute or so.
"Can't you hurry DOCTOR" the man
answered. ct am suffering great
pain Caughey then led the way to
the office on the second floor of the
building and Legreid walked up the
fight of stairs. CT have a terrible
pain in my chest" he told the physi-
clan. DR.. Caughey directed the man to
take off bis coat and vest and he
turned to open the desk. The man had
placed his clothes on a chair.
As far as can be learned Legreid
had not been i'll before he was attack
ed with the headache on his getting up
this morning. His head bothered
him so that he decided not to
go to work, but went down town to
get powder for it.
Legreid had come to Kenosha some
six months ago. He had worked for
many years at one of the big plants at
Stoughton, Wis. He has family
of grown children widely scattered
throughout the country. It is expected
that brother of the deceased will be
here tomorrow to make arrangements
for the funeral.

John Milligan and Edward
Murphy to Take Over the
Nicholas Pirsch Plant
ON Exchange Street.
BLACKSMITH shop De Luxe

John Milligan and Edward Murphy,
two of the best known men of Black
smiths Row. have formed a partner
ship and this morning it was announced
that the firm of Milligan and Murphy
had purchased the Equipment of the
Nicholas Pirsch carriage and black
smith shop on Exchange street and
within the next three weeks the old
plant, one of the historic old indus
tries of the city will be opened under
the new management.
Many improvements are to be made
on the shop before it is opened by the
new managers and it will be a modern
plant for this line of general repairing
and for horseshoeing. Orders have
been given for the installation of all
possible modern equipment and it is to
be made the blacksmith shop de luxe
of Kenosha county right off the reel.
The members of the new partnership
are widely known to the people Of the
city and county and it is expected that
their new venture on Exchange street
will bring a lot of activity to that nor
ton of the city. It is the plan of the
new company to have a general repair
shop which will take care of all the de-
mands of the city along this line and
competent men viii be employed to
handle all branches of the business.
The Pirsch shop has been one of the
old pioneer shops of Kenosha. 1t was
established way back N 1856 by the
late Nicholas Pirsch and for many
years it did a pretentious business in
the manufacture of wagons and car
riages. In recent years, since the
death of the founder, the plant had
been largely used as a repair shop.
The portion of the Brister building
which has been used as the Milligan
blacksmith shop will be put into the
hands of builders at once and within
a month it is to be ready for opening
as the home of Buick automobiles in
Kenosha, Sheriff Andrew F. stahl
who has the contract for the sale of
the Bucks in Kenosha has taken a
long time lease on the building and it
will be remodeled so as to meet every
requirement of modern automobile
salesroom and garage. The old room
in the Wulf building which has for
years been the Murphy blacksmith
shop will be converted into store
building early in the new year.

Judiciary Committee Of the
Council FavOrs Second
Precinct With Big Vot-
ing Population.
VOTE AT CITY HALL AGAIN

People living in the east part of the
first ward are going back to their old
voting home in the basement of the
city hall. The judiciary committee of
the council met last night to consider
the plan for dividing the ward and a
decision was reached to recommend the
council that the ward be divided
into two precincts with Congress
street as the dividing line
This will make it possible for the
voting place for the first precinct to
be established at the City Hall and
that of the second precinct will be left
at the High school basement. It had
been planned to divide the ward at
West street, but an examination of the
poll list showed that this would be an
unequal division. With the line at
Congress street the east precinct of the
ward will have voting population of
521. This is pretty close to one-half
of the 1929 votes cast at the last gen
eral election. 1t is thought certain
that the council will accept the report
Of the committee and that resolution
providing for the new precinct will be
passed at once so that the voters will
have better accommodations for vot-
ing at the next city election.
1t will be unnecessary for the city
to buy new voting machine for the
added precinct as one machine has been
held in reserve at the City Hall and
if the vote is by machine at the spring
election there will be little added ex-
pense for the new precinct with the ex-
ception of the cost of election officials.
Junk Men Are Not United.
The committee at the meeting on
Wednesday night heard the story of
the junk men of the city who want an
amendment to the license ordinance.
There were twenty junk men present
at the meeting, but after most of them
had been heard the committee was I'M
decided as to just how the license fee
could be adjusted so as to please all of
them. Most of the junk men were
agreeable to a reduction of the license.
but a lot of them wanted two sorts
Of licenses. One of these at a nominal
fee for the regulation of junk men re-
siding in Kenosha and another with
considerable higher fee for junk deal
ers who might come from other cities.
This plan did not meet with any great
support among the members of the
committee. The whole matter will be
referred to The council as a whole at
the meeting on next Monday night.

DON'T. SEAL PACKAGES.
Postmaster Warns Christmas Shippers
Against Sealing Up Fourth Glass
Mail Matter.

Warning was issued today by Post
master German against inadvertant
sealing of packages designed to be sent
as fourth class matter.
"Many come into the office with
their packages neatly tied and sealed
with Red Cross stamps, only to lin
that they have placed the stamps on
the folds, and prevent postal inspee-
ton, which means that the articles
must go, il at all, as first class mat
ter
Mr.. German finds that probably
more trouble arises from this one
source than from any other che cause,
attributable to law of requisite knowl-
edge of government rules.
Another warning aid one just as
important is edo not put Christmas
seals of any kind on packages to be
sent to foreign countries" Postal
agreements with these countries pro
vide that nothing but the regulation
postage stamps may be used on par
cells or letters. This order if not fol
lowed will result in parcels addressed
to foreign countries being held in the
local Office or sent to the dead letter
office at Washington.

MISSION THERE IS SECRET
Has Gone Into the Interior of Mexico
AS REPRESENTATIVE of South American
Country-Likens His Spanish to the
German of Chief O'Hare.

A plaintiff wall of a home SIGH man
from way down in the interior of
Mexico reached Kenosha today. 1t
was from DIR. John B. Spalding, former
city health officer and city physician,
who is now at Etzatkan in southern
Mexico, some twenty miles from the
Pacific sea coast. DIR. Spalding is home
sick for Kenosha and he admits that
if he saw a yellow dog running along
the street with Kenosha dog tag on
it he would rush out an embrace it and
hail it as long lost friend. DR.. Spald-
ing is. communicative as to his mis-
sion to Mexico. He says that he is
representing one of the South Ameri-
can countries in the Mexican interior
and that he is having so many adj
ventures that it would be impossible to
relate them. He admits, however, that
his life in the war-ridden country is
furnishing enough excitement to make
him entirely satisfied with the way
things are going. Mrs. Spalding is
with him.
DIR. Spalding left Kenosha many
months ago to go to Argentine Repub-
lie and since that time his friends have
heard little from him. It was init
mated that when he started for the
"horn" that he had a government posi-
ton in prospect and his letter from
Mexico would indicate that he has
gone into the diplomatic service of
that nation. Tn his letter to the News
DIR. Spalding says in part:
"I am here on official business for
a South American country and am en-
joying every possible courtesy and con-
sideration so far as courtesy and con-
sideration goes in this country. I
would gladly give ten dollars gold
just for a copy of the News. If [
could only see some one from dear old
Kenosha I would embrace him with the
most rapturous emotion, whether l
knew him or not. Since leaving home,
for Kenosha will always be Fkome,' al
though it is unlikely that [ will ever
be there again, I have travelled many

stirring adventures that would tax
your credulity, but have thus far es-
capped unscratched. My chief ailment
is nortalgia-this means home sickness.
I am rapidly ACCUSING the use of the
Spanish but to the natives my
Spanish sounds good deal like the
German of Owen O'Hare."

DAE1INes GOING BACK HOME.
Silver Lake Couple End Troubles of
Kenosha County Officials by
Starting for Antioch

Kenosha County Officials by
Starting for Antioch.
John Darling and his wife, the two
Illinois dependents who have caused no
end of trouble for the town officials of
the town of Salem and the county
pauper officials, are going to give these
fellows Christmas present. They
started back to their old home at An
tioch this morning with the assurance
that Chase Webb, in charge of the
pauper work in the town of Antioch,
would not make any effort to prevent
their return to Illinois territory. DarI-
ing and his wife have been existing i'll
an old shack near Silver Lake for more
than year. They had been refused
aid from this county on the ground that
they were entitled to aid from the Of
fcials of Lake county, III. The Lake
comfy officials did not see the neecs-
sity of granting such aid until one of
them had been cited into the Municipal
Court here to show cause. Then it was
decided that Darling and his wife should
90 back "The old man is reconciled
to going to the poor house." was the
way Mrs. Darling put it to the town
officials out in Salem. The old man is
nearly blind and the family has no
visible means of support. Although it
was the coolest day of the year out in
Salem the pair started for Antioch
this morning
