dozen short speeches at various points

NO SIGN OF FOUL PLAY.
Coroner and Police Fail to Get ANY
Evidence of Murder in Case
of Conrad T.ach.

That Conrad Lach, the Russian whose
body was found floating in the Keno

play, was the decision held by the po-
lice and the coroner after an examina-
tion into the facts surrounding the dis
appearance of the man. Lach had at
tended dance at Tatra Hall on the
night he disappeared and the officials
feel certain that he was on his way
home from the dance when he fell from
the docks into the harbor near the spot
where the body was found on Friday.
There were no woup is on the head of
the man which could not be accounted
for and not one of these wounds In

LoJEsKI SENDS RESIGNATION.
Police Officer Convicted Of Assault
Refuses to Embarass the City
In Any Way.

Declaring that he had no desire to
embarass the city in any way, Police
Officer Walter Lojeski, who was con-
victed of an assault on John Zapf in
the Circuit Court on Thursday, fled his
resignation with the chief Of the de-
partment on Friday with the under
standing that it was to be effective at
once. On account Of the action Of
Lojeski the chief Of police took no
further action in the matter. The
Police and Fire Commission may not
drop the matter with the resignation
of Lojeski. Some of the members of
the board hold that regardless of the
holdings of the courts Lojeski is en-
titled to consideration and that the
facts submitted may show that he act
ed in the performance of his duty at
the time of the alleged assault The
formal charge against Lojeski is still
pending before the commission and it
is not beyond the possible that the
board may take up the matter and con-
duct hearing in order to lay the real
facts before the people. The resigaa-
ton Of Lojeski from the force will,
however, make it unnecessary for him
to appear at the hearing unless he de-
sires to do SO.

DIES IN RACINE HOSPITAL
Brakeman Failed to Hear Signal for
Starting of Train and Plunged from
Top of Car to the Rails Below
Remains Taken to Milwaukee.

L. G. Kelly, brakeman employed
by the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railway Company and working
on one of the through freights of the
company, was fatally injured at the
Somers station in this county just after
four O'Clock Wednesday afternoon
when he fell from one of the cars of his
train and went under the wheels. His
left arm and left leg were severed from
the body. He was rushed into Racine
to st Mary's hospital, but he died
later in the day. Kelly showed great
fortitude and although he was terribly
injured he remained conscious and be-
fore his death asked that relatives in
Ireland be notified of his fate.
Kelly had been employed by the com
pany for only a short time and he
made his home in Milwaukee. He was
unmarried. He was member of the
crew in charge of the through freight
which pulled into Somers station just
after three O'Clock. The train was
held up for some time and it started to
pull out with the usual warning to the
members of the crew It is thought
that Kelly, who was standing on the
top of one of the cars, failed to hear
the warning and when the train start
ed up he plunged between the cars to
the track. Several trucks passed over
him before the train could be stopped
and he was. terribly mangled. The
remains will be taken to Milwaukee
for burial
Little facts in regard to the unfort-
innate brakeman could be found at the
village. 'FKelly had not been running
through Somers long, said the agent
this morning, fand we knew little
about him. He seemed to be popular
with the other members of the train
crew and they expressed great sorrow
over the accident. So far as we know
he was unmarried and all of his people
live in Ireland"

GETS NEW VOTING LAW.

County Clerk Russell H. Jones &hiy
morning received from the secretary of
state at Madison a copy of the new
law relating to "absent voters" which
was passed by the legislature in its
special session on Tueday and Wednes-
day. The law not only provides for
soldiers in the field voting, but it also
gives other absent voters a better
chance to vote by mail. It provides
that applications for absent voters
ballots may be made by male and gives
the county clerk the right to print the
ballots at least twenty days before the
election is to be held so that it win
be possible to supply all applicants. 1t
is thought that this change in the law
viii result in a much larger number of
absentees awaiting themselves of the
right to vote at the national electioEs

MUST HAVE A RE-TRIAL.

The suit of Sarah F. Karnes ct al
against the Chicago and northwestern
Railway Company, must go to trial
again in the Circuit Court, as this
morning Judge Belden handed down an
opinion in which he declined to either
set aside his order granting a new trial
or to reduce the verdict. The court
held that he could not see his way
clear to grant either suggestion of the
defendant company and held that the
case must be tried. It is probable that
the trial of it will be taken up before
jury in the Circuit Court before the
end of the coming week. The case
was brought in connection with the
condemnation by the railway company
of certain lands used for industrial
tracks.

Antioch Pauper Official Must show
Cause Why He Sent Paupers
Over Into This County.

in charge of handling the pauper af- ;
fairs of that village, must appear in
the Municipal Court in Kenosha on
October Oath and show cause why he
should not be punished for sending
paupers from the state Of Illinois into

Kenosha county on Friday to attend an
auction sale and when this fact was
tipped off to the sheriff he motored out
and found Webb on this side of tie
state line and served him with a sum-
mons in the case. The case, which is
unusual in court history Of Kenosha
county, is connected with the support
of John Darling and his wife Florence
Darling, alleged dependents who are

purpose of the Kenosha county officials

WERE MARRIED LAST June.
Girl Who Had Nationwide Notoriety In
the Investigation of Arthur Evelyn
See Cult in Chicago Is Now Happy
Wife of Former Kenosha Boy.

The other day when Kenosha people
read in Chicago papers the announce
ment Of the marriage of Mildred
Bridges-she who had been selected by
Evelyn Arthur See, strange religious
fanatic as !" the perfect MOTHER Of the
Absolute Life Cult in Chicago-to
Carl Marshall Huck, probably paid lit
tie more than passing notice to the
announcement as few Of them knew
that the husband of this young woman
who gained noteriety throughout the
country on account of her relations to
the strange cult of religious fanatics,
of them are beginning to recall the
fact that this same Carl Marshall
Huck was formerly a football star
in Kehosha. 1t was only a few years
ago that he was starring as the half
back of the Kenosha High School foot
ball team and one of the most popular
boys in the school.
His marriage to Mildred Bridges was
made known during the week just clos
ing when Arthur Evelyn See, the
prophet who had so much to do with
the young woman, was released from
prison after serving a three years
term. When he returned to Chicago
search was made for the young woman
and she was found living happily as
the wife Of the former Kenosha foot
ball star in comfortable little fiat at
1908 South Green street in Chicago,
The facts connected with the marriage
Of Mildred Bridges and the former Ke-
nosha boy had been kept a close secret
and it was known only to the nearest
friends and relatives Of the bride and
groom. They had been living quietly
away from all the noteriety of the world
and it was only by chance that a news
paper reporter searched them out and
got the announcement of the MARI
age. Young Huck and Mrs. Bridges
were married in Chicago last June.
The marriage followed romantic
coutrship and it is said that the mem
bers of the Hrck family were opposed
to the union. However, Mrs. Huck has
been given the most cordial reception
by the members Of the family. She has
declared that the part she had in the
famous Chicago cult has all been for
gotten along with a lot of other things
common to foolish girlhood and that
she is very very happy in her married
life She took no interest in the re
lease of See from prison and declar-
ed to her friends that she had no
desire to see him or have anything to
do with his future.
Mrs Huek was declared to be one of
the most beautiful women in Chicago.
She and her husband have not visited
in Kenosha since the marriage. Carl
Huck is son of M. M. Huck, formerly
a Main street jeweler. He spent much
of his life in Kenosha. He was edu-
Gated at ST. James School and later at
the Kenosha High School when he gain
ed note as q student and an athlete.
He left Kenosha about year ago to
accept position in Chicago and since
that time his friends here had not kept
in close touch to him. The announce
ment of his marriage to the famous
Mildred Bridges will be matter Of
great local interest, especially among
the alumni of the High school
