SMITH HOME rs ROBBED.
Prairie Avenue Home Entered by Same
Burglars Who Robbed the Dale Jewel
nv Store Last Saturday Night.

ry Store Last Saturday Night.
The robbery Of the Dale store on
Main street was not the. only job pulled
off by this band Of burglars, as the
police received report on Tuesday af-
ternoon that the home of William Fl.
Smith on Prairie avenue had been en-
tered. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith had been
away at summer resort for, some time
and on their return they found that the
house had been entered through rear
window and the rooms ransacked. The
thieves got about a hundred old coins,
a cameo pin and gold watch. On the
morning after the Dale robbery gold
watch was found in the Balm yards
near the rear end of the Dale store. 1t
was not one of the watches taken. from
the store and it was identified on Tues
day as the watch taken from the Smith
home. It is evident that the burglars
first worked at the Smith home and
then went to the Dale store dropping
this part of their booty in their hurry
to get away from the place. Efforts
are being made to secure the return of
the coin collection and the cameo pin.

SAYS EVIDENCE IMPROBABLE
Man Charged With Making Repeated
Assaults on Mary Buffalo Demands
That He Be Freed from Jail and
Charges Against Him Dismissed.

Vito Scholerio, recently held to trial
IN the Municipal Court on charges of
making a criminal assault on Mary
Buffalo, a child of tender age and
released on bonds Of seventy-fve humid
red dollars pending the hearing on the
evidence in the case in the Circuit
Court, through his attorney, R. v.
Baker, on Tuesday afternoon fled a
petition in the Municipal Court de-
handing that writ of habeas corpus
be issued which would make possible
his release from the Kenosha county
Jail. Scholerio was surrendered to the
sheriff by his bondsmen on Monday
and when he had been in tho county
Jail less than twentyfour hours the
petition for the writ of habeas corpus
was filed in the Municipal Court. 1T
is returnable this afternoon at three
'clock and it is expected that at this
time the district attorney will demand
more time for the examination into
the petition and that Of this demand
the hearing will be continued until
later in the month.
Scholerio is pretty widely known
among the members. Of the italian
colony in Kenosha and it was asserted
in court that he was pretty muchly
feared by some Of the people in the
west side colony. He was arrested on
May 9Th The evidence which was in
troduced at the preliminary hearing
after which he was held for trial in
the Circuit Court, was the story OK the
child named in the complaint. The
story was told with considerable tlra-
matte effect and after hearing it the
court held that there was cause to be-
Geve that the crime charged had been
committed and probable cause to be-
lieve that Scholerio was guilty Of the
charge and he held him to the Circuit
Court for trial. In his petition for the
writ of habeas corpus Scholerio de-
clares that he is being held in jail with
out proper warrant. He holds that the
evidence given by the child is so i'm
probable' and contrary to facts that
The court erred in holding him for trial
The demand for a writ of habeas
corpus under the circumstances is
unique in the history of the courts of
Wisconsin. Judge Randall, who passed
on the original evidence in the case, is
now asked to review his own proceed
ing in holding Scholerio for trial It
is Just possible that the court will call
in another judge to hear the evidence
presented in support of the writ and
the argument of the attorneys.
Scholerio is said to have many friends
who are anxious to secure his release
and who are willing to pay the cost
of long fight in court to secure
this result.
The district attorney has not out
lined his defense to the petition more
than TO declare that the evidence on
which Scholerio was held for trial was
entirely sufficient.

GENTRY SHOW COMES BACK.
Dogs and Ponies Back to Delight the
Children and Grownups for First
Visit in Six Years.

After an absence of six years, the
famous Gentry Dog and Pony Show
was back in Kenosha today and it de
lighted thousands of Kenosha people
at the show grounds on Sheridan Road
near the city cemetery at the first per-
Torrance this afternoon and it is ex-
pected to delight thousands more at
the second performance at eight
o'clock this evening. The Gentry show
has a reputation of twenty-five years
as the best show of it's kind ever tour
ing this country. It is maintaining
this record this year and it is declared
that the program is better than ever
before. The crowd on the streets this
morning was just about as big as the
usual circus day crowd. The parade
of the Gentry show is worthy Of more
than especial notice While it is ad-
vertised as dog and pony show there
are a lot of animals on the program
and the parade this morning showed
nearly as many open cages as any
show seen in Kenosha this season. The
Gentry dogs represent the aristocraey
of the canine world. Many of them
have been in the show for years. The
dogs now form only small part of the
show and there are many other per-
forming animals. The Gentry show
has many features and the perform
ance this afternoon gave the best of
satisfaction. The coming of the show
brings the opening of new show
ground on Sheridan Road and it is in
easy reach iof all parts of the city as
the street railway runs directly to the
ground. It is mighty true that the
old statement call circuses are alike"
does not apply to the Gentry show.
1t is real circus and yet it has feat
ures that no other circus boasts of. It
is without question the greatest show
on earth for children and the kiddies
of Kenosha will be talking about it
for the next month.

PROBABLY LARGEST
TOMATO CROP EVER

HORACE RAiNEY, JR, TO PLANT
ONE HUNDRED ACRES FOR
NEXT PACK.
SOLD TO LOCAL CANNING CO.
All Delivered Before Sept. Will Be
Paid for at the rate of $40 per Ton
All After That Date at the Rate
OF So Per Ton.

One of the biggest tomato contracts
ever made in this section OF the coun
try was that made recently by Horace
Rainey, Jr., hustling young farmer
and recent graduate of the Tennessee
Agricultural College OF the University
of Tennessee, who has contracted with
the Columbia Canning Company to
plant 100 acres Of toamtoes for the
factory for next year. The contract
was made at stipulated price Of $40
per ton for all tomatoes delivered be-
fore Sept. /, 1917, and at $8 per ton
for all delivered after that date.
Doubtless this is the largest crop OF
tomatoes ever grown or contracted by
one man in the South and sets a new
record.
Mr.. Rainey is one OF the most en-
thusiastic young farmers OF the coun-
ty and takes the liveliest interest in
everything pertaining to the cultiva-
ton and growing Of crops. In 1911 in

HIGH IS
VICTOR OVER The
COLUMBIA SCHOOL
CENTRAL DEFEATED AT BASKET
BALL BY SCORE OF
26 TO 18.
VERY FAST GAME is PLAYED
Thomas Stars For The Visitors, Lead
ing the Scoring by Pitching Four
GoaIs-Another Game Sought by the
Locals.

In one Of the fastest basket ball
games ever played in Fayetteville the
Lincoln County High Of Fayetteville,
defeated the Central High of COlum
bia, Friday afternoon by the score Of
26 to IS. The game was great deal
closer than one would think from the
score as the Lincoln countians got an
early start and managed to keep it
through the game, although the locals
played hard and no doubt if the game
had been played here the score would
have been turned around.
The baskets were not set firm and
straight and it took the locals some
time to find them, but during the last
half the Lincoln County High was
very clearly outplayed. Thomas, play
ing forward for C. H. s., played an
excellent game and led in the scoring
by pitching four goals. Barrick also
put up a strong game and played rings
around his opponents; he came next
in the scoring by pitching three goals.
1t is understood that the local lads
are trying hard to get another game
with Fayetteville for Thursday week
to be played here and If able to book
the game they are confident Of turn
ing the tables.
