MEXICAN RATHER HERE.
Truck Drivers In Mexico Send Harold
Hart One Of the Real Roamers Of
the Mexican Deserts


Harold Hart, of the truck department
of the Nash Motors Company has an
elephant on his hands for the winter.
This morning he received from way
down in New Mexico one of the real
rof.ners Of the desert. 1t is a real live
Mexican rattlesnake with thirteen rat
ties and button and vicious disposition.
The RATHER was sent north to hibernate
during the winter and it is the present
to Mr.. Hart from the members of
Truck Company No. | who are still driv-
ing Kenosha Quad trucks over the des-
erts of Mexico and New Mexico.
'tThis is the only thing known which
can go where Quad truck can not go, y
was the inscription on the box. Now
Hart wants to know what to feed rat
tlesnake and how is the best way to
feed it. He also wants to find some
good kind nurse who will be willing
to take charge of his pet and keep it
until the spring comes again when he
can send it back to Mexico to roam the
deserts again. Like lot of things
coming up from Mexico it is something
of an unWelcome guest. The RATHER for
the present is on exhibition at the
Palica cigar store and Palica and his
whole force are out catching mice to
take care of its ravenous appetite.

Der Of the series
Alberto Salvi, harpist, was presented
with Miss Helen Brown Read, soprano,

All Of the trio had good things to offer
in their particular lines, but it was to
the artistic work of the harpist that
the greatest mede of praise went.
The young man handles his instru-
ment as if it were part Of himself
Under his touch it is vibrant with life
and the expression of his moods and
emotions An instrument particularly
adapted to the expression of pathos
and sadness, in the hands Of Salvi, it
fairly talked.
Miss Reads voice was pleasingly
sweet and clear, and she was well ac-
companied by Miss Harris.
Both of the artists gave their servi-

UNCLE SAM NEVER FoRGETs.
Kenosha Police Urged to Look for Two
Local Men Wanted for DESERVING
Army in the Fall Of 1913.

Uncle Sam never forgets and this is
especially true, of his search for men
who desert from the United States
Army Edward A. DAILY, former Keno
sha man and one time member of Co. B
of the Thirty First Infantry, is alleged
to have deserted from Vancouver bar
racks September 10, 1912, and Carl M.
Nelson, also of Kenosha, is charged
with DESERVING from Fort D. A. Russell
on April 16, 1912. Both are still being
sought by the war department and the
fact that not single word has been
heard from either since they left the
service, without permit, has not de-
tered The department keeping after
them. The police today received let
ters from the department advising
them that a price was still put on these
two men and urging them to keep
watch for them. Under the new regu-
lations for the army deserter may be
taken and punished any time within
five years of his desertion.

Don't Choose Wireless Work.
Mr.. Lamb advises young men not to
consider wireless telegraphy as a voca-
ton. He says while the life it leads
them to is likely to be pleasurable in
that it may be adventurous and excit-
ing, there is no future worth mention
ing in it, as the pinnacle Of fortune
for the operator is usually a $3.50 a
month position. As an avocation he
recommends it for it is study full
of interest and entertainment for its
devotee. He said he himself became
interested in wireless telegraphy when
he was high school lad and later
went to a New York school where he
fitted himself for professional work.

George Mindeman Wanted
Here for Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses
Arrested There.
DREAM OF MILLIONS FADES

Chief of Police Owen O'Hare this
morning received a telegram from
Sheriff J. f. Ward at Tucumcari, New
Mexico, telling of the arrest Of George
Mindeman, alleged multi-millionaire,
who is wanted in Kenosha on charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The warrant for the arrest of
Mindeman was issued in the Municipal
Court here on December 81, 1913, and
since that time the police of the city
have been seeking to locate the man.
He is charged with obtaining little
over $500 under false pretenses from
Charles Carlson, Kenosha real estate
man. Kenosha police officers will leave
for the southern border this evening
to bring Mindeman here for trial. Dap
per and well dressed Mindeman made
his appearance in Kenosha in the fall
of 1918. He proclaimed himself pro-
moter of some big projects in New
Mexico and surrounding states and he
declared that he simply reveled in
money. In the complaint it is alleged
that he represented to Carlson that he
had an interest in large properties in
Mexico which were valaed at more than
nine million of dollars. In addition to
this he claimed that he had 100000
interest in the Quay County New Mexico
Development Association, that he
owned property in Milwaukee and had
a handsome house in Pewaukee.
In his complaint Carlson claims that
not one of the statements which the man
made in regard to his wealth is justi-
fled by the facts. 1t is asserted that
he has no interest in lands and other
properties on the border and that eff
forts to find the property in Milwaukee
and Pewaukee have been unavailing.
For nearly three years the local police
have been searching for Mindeman.
They got on his trail at many places in
the west but it was not until a month
ago that they traced him to the New
Mexico city. Then Sheriff Ward was
directed to find Mindeman and hold
him for the Kenosha officials.
1t is not known whether or not any
other people in Kenosha were caught in
the web of Mindeman but efforts are
being made to locate people with whom
he associated while he was in Kenosha.
Tt will take a week to get him back to
Kenosha from New Mexico but it is
declared that he will be punished to the
full extent of the law.

SUCCEEDS MISS Balm
Present Officer Has Served Four Terms
Retires Because of Other Work
Mrs. haywood Has Done Much
Good Work Elsewhere.

The nominating committee of the Ke-
nosha Equal Suffrage league has spent
much time in preparing what it con-
siders one of the strongest possible
states of Officers to serve the league
during the next year. The slate will be
presented at the annual election to be
held in the Hotel haywood, Dec. 5, and
while nominations are called for from
the floor, precedent makes it almost a
foregone conclusion that every name on
the slate will be elected.
Mrs B. F. haywood is chosen as
president Mrs haywood is woman
who has been active in suffrage work in
both Milwaukee, Minneapolis and other
towns where she has made her home.
Her executive ability is undoubted. She
has held many important club and or
ganization offices heretofore, including
that of head of the Order Of the Eastern
Star of Milwaukee.
Other officers on the ticket to be pre-
scented are: First vice president, Mrs.
Charles Pope; second vice president,
Mrs. H. B. Robinson; third vice presi-
dent, Mrs. A. E. Epstein; treasurer, Miss
Emma Robinson; secretary, Mrs. George
Mcintyre; committee chairmen: Mem
bership committee, Mrs. r. K. Dorr;
finance, Mrs. Malcolm Farr; social, Mrs.
Lawrence Baldwin; press, Miss Eleanore
Casey; legislative, Miss Harriet Balm;
lecture, Miss Florence Wells; director Of
Junior league, Mrs. Joseph G. Rhode.
Township chairmen are: Pleasant
Prairie, Mrs. j. E. Jones; Bristol, Miss
Ruby Fox; Salem, Mrs. Arthur Bloss;
Somers, Mrs. Herman Herzog; Paris,
Mrs. George Kreuscher. Other township
chairmen have not as yet been re-
ported upon.
Miss Harriet Balm, the retiring presi-
dent, has served four years in that ca
pacity and has held other important Of
fices with the league. While her SER
vices were regretfully dispensed with
a$ an officer, it was made clear that
the state financial campaign which she
is directing renders it impossible for
her to continue to do active work in
the county league.
Her present campaign to raise $4,000
asked for as the apportionment given
Wisconsin to raise toward the $1,000,000
which is to be used for the national
campaign for federal suffrage, is well
under way.
Those in charge Of the meeting are
sending out 100 notices to the members
of the league in Kenosha county. Each
notice includes folders and although
the notices themselves are printed, the
work of addressing the envelopes and
enclosing the printed matter has taken
three people in the neighborhood of fif-
teen hours.
