BOXING AND WRESTLING.
In the Kenosha Athletic Clubs First
Show of the Season ON
September q.

BY way of variety, the Kenosha
Athletic Club, in giving their first
show of the season, which takes place
at the Rhode on the night of Septem-
Der 9th, will diverge a little from the
regular run of things by replacing
one of the bouts with thirty minute
wrestling match. In this event, Ernest
Birmingham, Kenosha S best grappler,
viii meet Martin Nelson of Chicago,
an undefeated middleweight. mas
much as Burlington has proven his
ability by meeting the various wrest-
lers with the carnival company at An
derson's Park without being thrown,
and before good sized crowds nightly,
the, lovers of the sport look forward
to some real entertainment aud par
ticularly since Nelson has agreed to
forfeit the hundred dollar purse if he
does not throw Burlington in thirty
minutes.
The main event of the opening is d
ten round contest between Len Row.
lands of Milwaukee and sgd Mitchell
of New Zealand, Australia These
two have met before in fifteen round
contest to draw. Rowlands will be
remembered by the Kenosha fans for
the terrific lacing he gave Anton the
Greek here last season. Mitchell has
quite rep and string of victories
to his credit in Australia and Tom An
drews of Milwaukee, has promised the
winner of the bout that he will match
him for the main event at the Milwau.
kee club
Two good prelims are scheduled.
One between Johnny Moran of Chica-
go and our own Peter Frecker, who will
go it for six rounds at 14S pounds.
Pete has been training for some time
and his friends say that his improve
ment will prove a surprise.
The curtain raiser is between Jack
Baldwin of Lake Forest, and Young
Copin of Kenosha. Neither of these
boys need an introduction as they are
favorites with the local fans.

HAS DURKEE WILL.
Supreme Court Justices Hear Argu-
ments but Give no Indication
OF Their View.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin,
now holds the future destiny of the
famous Durkee claim. The case was
argued before the court on Wednesday
and Thursday, but no indication was
given as to what Interpretation the
court would put on the demand for
further administration of the estate Of
the late Charles Durkee. The point at
issue is the right of certain people to
have administration for the estate.
The Supreme Court is not going to
have before it any of the claims Of
millions, but it is to decide on a cold
legal point regarding the right of the
present appellant to bring an appeal in
the case. It is probable that the de-
cision Of the higher court viii be hand
ed down early in October.

NEW MILK STRIKE COMING.
Kenosha County Dealers in Milk Watch
Developments in the Latest
Chicago Trouble.

Substitution of monthly price rate
for six months contract in the deal
ings of the Borden company with the
Milk Producers Association brought
threats Of another controversy between
the dealers and the dairymen Friday
Possibly of a "milk strike " similar
to that of last spring, in which thous-
ands of pounds of milk were kept out
of Chicago, was secuted by the dealers,
but W. j. Kittle, secretary of the pro
ducers' association, said it may come If
other firms follow the Borden's lead
in abandoning the six months con
tract plan.
The Borden company has announced
$l.90 a hundred pounds as it's price for
October. This is acceptable to the
producers SO far as the rate for the
month is concerned, but they demand a
SIX months contract guaranteeing an
average price of two dollars.
We cannot make six months con
tract because we cannot tell what the
situation is going to be six months
ahead" said Fl. M. Reser, one of the
Borden officials. ''There is nothing
new about that Several companies
have been publishing monthly prices
for years.
THE producers will not accept the
Borden price, you may be sure of
that said Mr.. Kittle. ri don t say
there will be strike, but if there
should be it will start after October IL

WHY NOT HAVE KENOSHA
JUST a LITTLE CLEANER
THAN TT rs AT THE
PRESENT TIME.


In view of the large number
of nuisance complaints that are
pouring into the Health Depart
ment daily, we are persuaded
that there are quite number
of people in Kenosha who really
would like to see better sanitary
conditions existing in this other
wise beautiful and rapidly grow
ing city, and much depends upon
the desires and determination of
the citizens as to what will be
accomplished along this line, but
on the other hand we often find
upon Investigation that some of
our people have allowed personal
feelings and animosities to enter
into the question, and where
that is found to be true, we wash
our hands of that much of it as
we refuse to be drawn into mere
neighborhood squabbles as we
have enough troubles to deal
with IN the regular course of our
work. Cleaning up and keeping
clean costs much less in time,
worry, and actual cash than be-
ing sick.

SAY LAW NOT COMPLIED WITH
Protesting Property Owners Hold Cues.
tion of Bonds Should Have Been Sub
mitted by Written Ballot and Peo-
pie Given Longer Time to Vote.

People OF the town of Pleasant
Prairie are going to fight the issuance
of road bonds by that town and to
this end petitions are now being cir
culated among the voters of the town
which will be presented as a protest
to any further action of the Town
Board as a result of the election held
on primary day. The people of the
town who are opposed to the issuance
of the bonds, have retained Attorney
r. V. Baker to fight their battle for
them and the formal protest against
the issuance Of the bonds has been
drawn up by this attorney. It is said
that several people of prominence in
that town are backing the protest and
that they are willing to battle in the
courts if necessary in order to main
tain their claim that the bond cleo
ton was illegal The names of the
protesting citizens have not been made
public, but they will appear on the
protest when it is formally presented
to the town board.
The protest questions the legality of
the election held to provide for the is
suance of the bonds and the petition
holds that it was not held in keeping
with the provisions of the state law.
1t holds that the state law provides
that an election on such questions shall
be by written ballot and that this plan
was not followed in the election held
on September 5th when by majority
OF twenty the voters decided to issue
bonds in the amount of one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars for the
completion of all state roads within
the limits of the town. The protest
holds that under the law the voters
should have been given a chance to
cast their ballots at any time between
the hours set for the opening and clos
ing OF the polls on the day Of the cleo
ton. The vote was a viva voce vote
cast at two o'clock in the afternoon at
an old fashioned town meeting.
The members of the Town Board are
resting pretty easy in the matter as
they held the election in this form,
following an opinion from the attorney
of the state and at the orders of the
Wisconsin State Highway Commission,
which commission prepared all of the
blank forms for the election notices.
1t was known at the time of the cleo
ton that the bond proposition was OPP
posed and opposed vigorously by sew
eral of the big property owners in the
town. Just how far these people will
be willing to carry the fight remains
to be seen, 1t is just possible that
should the County Board and the Town
Board be satisfied with the legality of
the vote on the bond issue that the
issuance of the bonds will be stopped
by injunction. At any rate the Town
Board members feel that the protest
is being lodged at an excellent time as
it will give them all winter to fight
out the question and if the courts
should hold that the bonds were issued
illegally that another election can be
held in the spring and the bonds issued
in time to have the work on the roads
completed next year

Many Business and Profes.
sional Men of City Anx-
ious to Make Visit to the
Neighboring Towns.
.SOMERs WILL Be FIRST STOP

Kenosha merchants and professional
men S big Trade Booster Trip through
the county for 1916 is. an assured sue
cess, as already dozens of men have
responded to the call sent out week
ago asking for automobiles and the sup
port of business men generally. This
year Is tour will be the third annual, and
the Retailers Association, under whose
auspices it is annually conducted, an
nounce that the usual so cars will not
begin to accommodate, the men who
are asking for reservations three weeks
in advance.
A slight change has been made in the
itinerary through the county, and it has
been decided to make Somers village
the first stop, then swinging over to
Pleasant Prairie, with the remainder Of
the schedule carried out practically the
same as in former years. The ladies
at Salem are also being asked to provide
another one of those real Booster Din
ners which have made so big hit with
Kenosha men in the past, and the COM
mittee in charge are working on a pro-
gram of entertainment to be staged
at the various centers. From all over
the county come the announcements of
arrangements being made to receive
the boosters, and one town at least has
promised a regular celebration in their
honor.
Three years ago, when the possibili-
ties of a County Booster Trip were
first discussed, some Of the local mer-
chants felt that they might be stepping
on the toes of the village merchant, and
that they did not wish to antagonize
him. The past two years experience,
however, has demonstrated that the
Boosters have been instrumental in
cementing the feeling between city
and county, and that the boosters are
welcome.
One of the things the Boosters will
have in mind on their 1916 tour is the
matter of good roads, and arrange
ments will be made for speakers who
know the road conditions and their
needs, to place the question before the
farmers in a business-hke way. A
program of this nature, carried out
and presented in business way is
bound to show results.
Of course, the usual giving away Of
souvenirs will be participated in prac-
tically by all of the merchants who
make the trip, and conservative es-
innate is made that the value Of mer-
| chandise articles and advertising mat
ter will amount to approximately one
thousand dollars.
The trip for 1916, which will be held
on Thursday, October 9Th, will inc1ude
stops at each of the following towns
and villages: Somers, Pleaasnt Prairie.
Bristol, Salem, Camp Lake, Wilmot,
Silver Lake, Bassetts, Twin Lakes,
Powers Lake, SHADES Corners, New
Munster, Wheatland, Brighton and
Paris Corners.
A charge Of two dollars for each
passenger IS made to those Of the
boosters who do not enter their own
cars. This money usually just about
covers the cost of the dinner at Salem.
the band and the general advertising.
