Who Want Them.

Kenosha men seem to be too busy
even to have gardens. Fifteen vacant
lots located in all sections of the city,

of the Kenosha Retailers association

months and just one man has called at
the offices of the association and shown
a willingness to put in a garden

one man who is willing to farm them
We had expected that there would be
an immediate response to the offers of
garden places for the summer, but the
people do not seem to be interested
If the men who want gardens do not
show up in few days we shall just
thank the people who have offered the
vacant property and drop the cam
paign. It does look as if things were
coming pretty easy in Kenosha now. y

NEED FOOD REGULATIONS.
Mayor Called Upon to Decide Whether
a Cow That Breaks It's Neck Is
Good Meat Product.

Kenosha s need of regulations in re-
gard to meat food products was shown
this morning when the mayor was called
upon to decide rather unusual ques-
ton. 1t was this: SIS the carcass of a
cow which fell and broke its neck suit
able for sale in butcher shipgo It
was the Humane agent who put the
question up to the mayor and the rale
of the meat was held up pending some
decision. Mayor Pfennig looked through
the city ordinances and appealed to the
city attorney. He even went out and
looked over the meat but he refused to
render Judgment. The meat is still be-
ing held up.
1t is probable that at an early meet
ing of the council the aldermen will be
asked to pass some kind of an ordi-
nance which will make proper regula-
tions for the sale of meats in the city.

Mexican Bandits
Rob Passengers Of
Clothes and Jewels

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 16.-A north
bound passenger train from Chihua-
hua City was held up yesterday at
Terrazas and the passengers robbed.
according to reports today to
Carranza Consul Bravo. The BAN
dts holding UP the train were COM
manded by Generals Corral and Muir
ga. The train is expected to reach
Juarez tonight. The telegraph wires
south are reported cut, presumably by
the bandits.
A force of Carranza calvary is re-
ported to be in pursuit of the bandits
who robbed the train. These bandits
are thought to be the same band
which held up and robbed the south
bound passenger train on the night of
October so, when twenty-nine of the
Carranza train guards were executed
and the passengers robbed of their
clothing and valuables.
Nothing has been heard from the
train which left Juarez for Chihua-
hua City yesterday morning and it is
feared this train was also held up and
robbed. The telegraph line has been
repaired and messages are being re-
ceived in Juarez.
The passengers were robbed of their
clothing by the bandits. Watches,
jewelry and other valuables were
taken, but none OF the passengers
were killed or maltreated, according
