COME AFTER COUNTY REPORT.
State Tax Commission Sends Man to
Find Out How Kenosha County
Spends Her Income.

The nosey old State Tax Commission
is busy in Kenosha again and this
time representative Of the commits
sion is trying to find out how Kenosha
county spends its money. Some time
ago demand was made on the county
clerk for report for the commission.
The clerk held that such report would
be about the same as an audit of all
the books of the county and he could
not see why this work should be added.
The County Board made the same deci-
sion after it heard the facts in the mat
ter and the report was not sent to
the tax commission. Now the commits
sion is getting the figure itself and it
is probable that later on the county
will be asked to pay bill for the
work of the clerk in connection with it.
just about that time the County Board
is expected to see when tax commits
sion has right to demand an audit
Of the county books. The report has
little to do with the taxation problems
of the county.

crank Welker Has Sensational Com

Wife, Pearl Welker.

Judge Randall is to be asked to re.
verse his decision on marriage CON
tract which was made in his court on
February 9Th last in which the contract
ing parties were Frank Welker and
Mrs Pearl Welker. The husband
through his attorney, R. ". Baker, has
filed suit in the Municipal Court ask
ing divorce. His complaint is of the
sensational order. He alleges that they
had known each other for but few
days when they were married and that
he was bitterly disappointed in his
wife. He asserts that she is addicted
to the use of intoxicants. For a second
cause of action he relates the facts
concerning little party which is al
legged to have taken place in the Welker
home during his absence and which cul-
minated in the landlord of the house
finding man concealed in a closet.

ator Hatton had a majority of all votes
cast for governor in Dane, Jackson

ment. Governor Philips best run
was made IN his home county, Milwau-
kee, where he received 1884 votes as
compared wish $3.50 cast for all of his
opponents. This is considered remarka-
bic in view of the fact that Milwaukee
is also Mr.. McGovern s home county.
For lieutenant governor Edward F.

seventy-one. For secretary of state,
Merlin Hull carried thirty-eight out of

ORDERS A NEW TRIAL.
Salem Automobile Damage Suit to
Have Re-hearing in the Circuit
Courc of This County.

The Supreme Court has handed down
a decision ordering new trial in the
suit of William Earl against Frank
Gunderson. Earl was injured at the
village of Salem on the night of July
4th, 1914, when an automobile owned
by Gunderson " climbed the station
platform = and Earl was run down by
it and very severely injured. He was
in the hospital for many months and
when an action for damages was tried
in the Circuit Court some time ago the
jury returned verdict fixing his dam
ages at four hundred dollars. Attor-
ney Calvin Stewart, who appeared for
Earl, sought to have the verdict set
aside as perverse and not in keeping
with the evidence. The appeal to the
Supreme Court was taken by the attor-
neys for Gunderson after Judge Belden
had ordered new trial of the case.
The court ordered that the appeal be
dismissed and that the case have re-
hearing. It will probably be tried at
the next term Of the Circuit Court.

County Board to Meet in
Special Session on Septem-
Der Is to Approve New
Subdivision Plat.
MAY DECIDE ROAD QUESTION

County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning sent out formal call for a
special session of the County Board to
be held on Monday, September 25th.
The call is sent with view of having
the board take action on plat of a
subdivision of Henry L. Bullamore but
it is expected that several interesting
matters will come before the board.
1t is expected that it will be one
day session.
The town of Pleasant Prairie is
anxious to get some expression from
the County Board in regard to the pro-
posed issue Of bonds for the building
of roads in that town and to that end
the Pleasant Prairie men will be on
hand. Some of the supervisors have
expressed some doubt as to the desir-
ability of issuing bonds for roads in a
single town Some time ago the board
voted to favor county bond issue for
the town of Somers and Pleasant
Prairie, but at the election held on
primary day while Pleasant Prairie
voted bonds, Somers turned the matter
down. Some of the Somers people
have suggested that the question be
submitted again on special ballot on
the same day that the national election
is held. If this plan is to be followed
the Somers people would like to have
some assurance Of the manner in which
the County Board is to regeard the mat
ter. Pleasant Prairie people believe
that they have a right to expect the
County Board to act favorably on the
Pleasant Prairie bonds regardless to
the action of the voters in Somers.
They hold that they voted in good faith
to issue the bonds and that for this
reason they are expecting the county
to follow up this movement. The Town
Board of Pleasant Prairie is now work
ing out the details of the bond issues
and making provisions for payments
and it is the plan Of the board to con
plete all the state road work in thai
town IN 1917. The completion of
this work will insure the completion
IOf the Sheridan Road from the state
line to Kenosha.
At the session of the Board of Trus-
tees of Willowbrook sanatorium will
appear before the board and ask that
the "winter quarters at the sana-
forum be completed. Windows must
be provided for the big porches and
painting of some portions of the build
ing is demanded. The sanatorium now
has its full quota of patients and every
inch Of room available is necessary for
the work of the institution. Tf this
work is to be completed before the com
ing OF the winter months it must be
ordered at the special meeting of the
board, as the regular meeting in No
vember will be too late to have the
work completed in good building
weather. Plans are now being made
showing just what is necessary at the
sanatorium and it is thought that the
County Board members will give their
sanction to these demands.

BURGLAR WANTS CLEMENCY
Man Captured in Act of Robbing Home
of DR.. ). N. Palt Asks Release by the

sition to Paroles in Kenosha.

Three Kenosha county prisoners at

most exciting burglaries ever commit

1arizing the home Of Dr.. j. N. Palt on
North street. DR.. Palt returning to his
home after social engagement, found
King at work in the house and he was
captured in the very act of burglariz-
ing the place. When he was arraigned
in court he entered a plea Of guilty
and was sentenced to term of three
years. Efforts were made to get some
facts in regard to the former life Of
King, but he was a mysterious
stranger" in the city and the officials
never were able to get any facts in re-
gard to his career. 1t is declared that
he has been model prisoner in the
state institution and it is not expected
that the parole will be opposed.

Chicago men, who were sentenced to a
