KENosHA MAN ASKS PAROLE.

Walter Tutlewski, a Kenosha man,
who was sentenced in the Municipal
Court Of Kenosha county to term of
two years in the state prison on Oct.
23rd of last year following conviction
on charges Of failure to support his
family, has appealed to the State
Board of Control for a parole. The
hearing will be held the latter part of
this month. Tutlewski has had a firm
friend in his daughter and some time
ago she appealed to the governor for
Communication of the sentence of her
father and after the governor had
heard the arguments of the daughter
he reduced the sentence from two years
to eighteen months. This made it pos
sible for Tutlewski to make an imme-
date petition for parole. It is said
that local officials will not object to
the granting of the parala,

HAS MADE THREATS TO KILL
Old Man, Fixture in Bristol in the
Memory Of the Oldest Citizen Is Now
Declared to Be a Nuisance to the
Safety of the People There.


Louis Van Houten, old resident Of the
town Of Bristol and character
widely known among the people of that
town for many years, is alleged to be
insane. This morning nine of the best
known residents Of the town of Bris-
toll fled a petition in the County Court
asking that the old man be declared
insane and sent to the state hospital
for the insane at Mendoza
For years, according to the stories
told by the men making the petition,
Van Houten has been a 'squatter !"
on one Of the Gulick farms and all eff
forts to force him to give up the old
shack in which he lives Of pay rent for
it have been without results. Living
alone in the old house with an old mule
as the only companion of his solitude,
the petitioners declare that Van Houten
has for years been menace to the
community. The old shack is located
far back from the road and it is sell
dom that the people of the town have
penetrated the path that leads to it..
In recent months the old man has shown
signs of being dangerous.
The petitioners declare that he has
made threats to kill several people in
the neighborhood and that he has the
old shack barricaded all the time, hold
ing that he expects to be attacked
Van Houten has lived in Bristol for
many years. None Of the people in the
neighborhood seem to know where he
came from. For time he worked on
farms in the neighborhood, but at that
time he was known as a "crank' In
recent years he has lived a secluded
life in the little tumbled down house
sending out a note of defiance to any
one who would seek to dispossess him.
So far as is known Van Houten has
no relatives in Kenosha county or In
Wisconsin. No one ever knew any
thing about the story Of his life. Com
plants have been made to the humane
society on account Of. the condition Of
his mule but the agent of the society
has never been able to find a way
20 dispose OF the one companion
of the old man.
This morning Sheriff stahl got the
warrant to go out and force the bar
ricades of the old shack and bring Van
Houten into court for an examination
into his mental condition. 1t is ex-
pected that the old man will show fight
and he is said to be armed. However.
it is thought that the sheriff will be
able to get him into court by Friday
morning and the hearing on his mental
condition is to be taken up at that
time. The men who have signed the
petition for the examination have de-
clared that he is a dangerous charac-
ter and that something should be done
at once to have him confined in a state
institution.

PAGE TO OPPOSE COOPER.
Elkhorn Democrat Being Grooined to
Make the Race for Congress in
the First District.

Jay w. Page of Elkhorn, is being
groomed by the Democracy of the
First Wisconsin District, to make the
race for Congress against Congressman
81. A. Cooper. It is expected that his
candidacy will be announced at the
convention of the Democracy to be held
in Milwaukee ON Wednesday. 1t had
been generally supposed that Calvin
Stewart of Kenosha has sort of a
mortgage on the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress in this district, but
Mr.. Stewart announced some time ago
that he would not be candidate for
the nomination this year. Mr.. Page
has been a leader in the Democracy
of the first district for some time. He
has been mentioned as possible
nominee of the party for the Office of
attorney general, but it is understood
that he would prefer to make the race
for Congress in the district to accept
ing place on the state ticket.

PAY FINES IN RACINE.
Kenosha Men Help Swell the Amount
in the Strong Box of the Racine
Courts for Snne7irlg


Courts for Speeding.
There does not seem to be any strong
brotherly feeling between Racine and
Kenosha when it comes to arrests for
speeding and Kenosha people contri-
buted sixty dollars and costs to the
treasury of Racine county on Wednes-
day as results of arrests for speeding
on July 4th. In fact the Kenosha men
contributed just one-half of the total
amount secured by the courts of Racine
on the speeding charges. George H.
Milne, John Gentle, Leo Denton, and
Lucien Lance made up the list Of Ke-
nosha men hauled up for speeding BY
the Racine officials and in each case
a fine of fifteen dollars and the costs
was assessed. Judge Shielding in as
sessing the fines declared that it was
IN keeping with the Home Coming =
spirit and that the fines were just a
home coming of some Of the money
which had been paid by Racine speed
ers TO the courts Of Kenosha county.
It can be said to the credit of the Ra-
cine police that two Of the men ar
rested for speeding during the double
holiday were from Racine.

CIRCUS WAGON WRECKS AUTO.
G. Martin and Guests of Pleasant Prai-
RE Have a Narrow Escape from
Injury Thursday Night.

G. Martin of Pleasant Prairie and
three guests, two men and a woman,
had narrow escape from injury near
the Chicago and North Western tracks
on Grand avenue just after nine CLOCK
Thursday evening when the Martin au-
tomobile was wrecked in a collision
with circus wagon. The circus wagon,
pulled by four teams of horses, was
loaded with long tent poles. The wagon
had caught in the tracks of the electric
railway company and in swinging it
out Of the tracks the driver threw it
around so that the poles raked the Mar
tin automobile, tearing off the top and
breaking the wind shield. Martin and
his guests were fortunate to escape
without injury. There was no hest
fancy on the part of the circus man
ayers in paying the damages claimed
and the whole matter was settled up
without any complaint to the police.

mons Badly Damaged on Sat-
urdaY Afternoon.

by q. G. Simmons was badly damaged
by fire in the Simmons grounds on

blazing car out Of the garage and call
ed the fire department. The gasoline
tank did not explode and the fire de-

ISABEL Low ALSO IN CORPS
Trained Social Investigators Are in
Demand in the Headquarters and
Are Being Drafted from !.
Many Cities.

The call to the colors for one Ke-
nosha woman has sounded and she has
responded just as CALAMITY and prompt
ly as have the young men who have
FASTENED to Yale to join the ranks of
their college regiment, at the first hint
of need
Miss Louise Cottrell, superintendent. of
the Associated Charities, has been draft
ed by the National Red Cross associa-
ton for service in Chicago in the re-
lief station established by the Red Cross
in that city.
Miss Isabel Low who may almost be
counted as Kenosha woman as she
has been connected with the schools for
some time has also been called to the
service of her country, via the led
Cross route. Miss Low had trained as
social worker in Evanston and also
did special work for the Chicago Trib-
une in Investigating social conditions a
few years ago.
The head of the Chicago Red Cross
Relief station is Miss Myra B. Van Nos
trand, under whom Miss Cottrell put in
her cadetship as social worker. Miss
Van Nostrand has made Miss Cottrell
her first assistant, and superintendent
with entire charge of applications from
relatives outside Of Chicago in ten
states, and of one district in Chicago.
In letter received from Miss Cot
trell, she spoke Of applications for re-
lief coming in at a rate that made the
Christmas rush in Kenosha seem incon-
sequential. The workers are staying
at their posts until late at night.
In order to build up an organization
competent to take care Of the work
that is piling in, it was necessary for
the Red Cross society to practically
strip the Chicago Associated Charities
of it's workers and to make drafts upon
surrounding towns where organized
charities existed.
Mrs. Edith Sieger Hennessey who as
Miss Sieger had charge of the Keno
sha A. G. office for short time is
among the workers in Chicago.
Miss Eleanor Schoenberger, class of
1908, Kemper Hall, of the Cen
trail Charities Association Of Racine,
is also among those called. Milwaukee
has sent half dozen of it's workers
and other surrounding cities have re-
sponded Loyalty.
The service will be for an indefinite
period. Those in charge say their work
ers may be needed for few days, for a
few weeks, for month or two or pos
sibly for years. Each worker is paid
the same salary drawn in the position
left to golto Chicago, thus they shoulder
the additional expense Of living in the
larger city and the extra work which
they do during the excitement and rush
Of the large number Of incoming appli-
cations, as their sacrifice for their gov
eminent.
