Jury Fails to Fix Responsibility for
Accident but Assesses Both
Nelson and Anderson.

The jury in the circuit court which
heard the evidence in the suit Of John
Fox vs.. Frank Nelson, E. Z. Anderson
and Thomas Hartneu returned verdict
on Friday afternoon giving Fox dam
ages in the amount of $500. He. had
asked for thousand. On the opening
day Of the trial the,suit was non-suited
50 far as Hartnell was concerned and
the question that was put up to the jury
was to ascertain which Of the other
owners Of the automobiles which col
lided. and caused the injuries to Fox
were to blame. The jury decided that
il was about fifty fifty and the verdict
directed that the damages be jointly
paid By Nelson and Anderson. It is
possible that there will be an appeal
of the case to the higher courts.

County Treasurer Hartman Accepts Po-
sition as Head Time Keeper With
the Horlick Milk Company

County Treasurer Philip Hartman, Jr.,
is going to move away from Kenosha
at the end of his term In the county
office which he has filled with honor
for two terms. He has accepted a po-
sition as head time keeper for the Hor-
lick Matted Milk company in Racine
and is no win the active charge of his
new duties in that city. Mr.. Hartman
could not have been a candidate for re-
election as county treasurer this year as
he has served the two terms which are
allowed to a treasurer under the state
law. AS yet no candidates have come
into the field for the office but it is
certain that there will be candidates
a-plenty before the primary election is
held. Mr.. Hartman had been employed
by the Thomas B. Jeffrey company but
resigned his position with this company
when the splendid opportunity was of
fered him by the Racine company. Mr..
Hartman plans to live in Kenosha until

Canine Is the Least Sufferer When He
Causes Automobile Wreck on Mil

1.-THE Dog Ran Away Unhurt is the
concluding sentence Of the police re-
port of an automobile accident which
occurred on Milwaukee Avenue on Fri
day. Michael Faber, a driver of a lit
ney, was at the wheel of an automobile
which ran over a dog. One Of the
wheels went right over the back Of the
dog and there was such a mighty yell
ing on the part Of the pup that Faber
lost control of his machine and ii
veered to one side and crashed into d
delivery wagon owned BY the Standard
Oil company. It pushed the horse
hitched to this wagon over to the curb,
severely injuring him. The automobile
was also damaged to a considerable ex-
tent. The police did not find cut who
was the owner of the dog but his owner
will probably be asked to pay the dam

STILL SEEKING SUICIDE.
Mrs. Ellen REESE Who Worked as a

Rushing out Of municipal courtroom

and worked in a+Kenosha factory, Fri
day afternoon made a sensational at
tempt to plunge over the railing in the

one foot from the railing She was
overpowered after a scuffle and was
taken back to- the jail in irons.
Mrs. Reise was brought to court to
be sentenced in the case in which she
painfully burned her husband by throw
ing -carbolic acid on his body while he
was asleep. She spent more than
twenty minutes in bantering with
Judge Backus in regard to the case.
He had almost decided to commit her
to Waupun for two years, when he
reached the conclusion that she was
mentally unsound and he ordered her
examined by Drs. F. E. Studley and

CARRIERS WORK OUT PLANS
ALI Four Carriers Working Out Of Ke-
nosha Post office on Rural Routes
VIII Use Motor Driven Vehicles
After June Farmers Pleased.

Efficiency in rural delivery Of mail
despite the handicap placed on it by
the department at Washington is plan
ned by the carriers connected with the
Kenosha post office and before the
first day of June the carriers them-
selves will have worked out a plan to
motorize rural delivery from Kenosha
to the various routes in Pleasant Prai-
RE and Somers and even on the Bristol
and Paris lines. So far as is known
Kenosha is to be the first city in the
state that is to have a complete corps
Of carriers working by automobile.
Tt was not possible to keep old Dob
bin working on the rural routes and
meet the demands of the people. Now
farmers are getting accustomed to have
their morning paper with their break
fast if it is late enough and some of
the farmers have their breakfast just
as late as they do in town.
The carriers with the use of Henry
Ford s product and little gasoline
believe that they will be able to carry
the mail to all the rural routes and get
back to Kenosha before noon. POST
master German admits that with such
unheard of speed in the rural service
there is no intention of putting on an
afternoon delivery for the farmers as
there is nothing IN the government
code that provides two deliveries.
The. automobiles are not the property
of Uncle Sam but the property of the
four rural carriers. John Baum is the
latest addition to the rural carrier
force. His appointment arrived on
Friday and he will take the No. 8
route starting work on the first of
June,
The four rural carriers have not as
yet sold the old horses which have been
used on the routes as they fear that
the gasoline method may not work ex.
actly right when the roads are deep
in mud. With long stretch of sum
mer weather ahead of them and the
promise of good roads leading all the
way from the city they feel that it
will be possible to make a big improve
ment in the service and at the same
time make more Of the money paid To
them IN salaries stay in their pockets.
1T is probable that other cities in the
state will follow the plan inaugurated
here of putting all of the rural car
rlers ON automobiles and that one of
the questions to be asked at the civil
service examinations for rural carriers
in the future will be, Have YOU an
automobile or money enough to buy a
Ford9''

evidence in the suit Of Mrs. Luella M.
Mcneil against Jay G.. Mcneil. Mrs.
Mcneil asked for divorce on charges
of cruelty. Mcneil did not appear
to contest the granting of the decree
and he was not represented at the hear
ing. The wife alleged that she had
been married to Mcneil in Racine on
December Fl, 1904, but that most Of
their married life had been spent in
Kenosha. Rather. sensational court ac-
lions of year ago were not brought
up IN connection with the case and the
only witness sworn except the wife was
witness to prove residence. Mrs. Mc.
Neil was granted the custody of one
minor child, Everett Mcneil, and the
husband was directed to pay six dollars
week alimony for the support of the
child. The divorce counsel declared
that he lad received no protest against

party of the employees and the man

anniversary. Duke Smith S orchestra

joyable one. More than three hundred
couples we're in attendance and in many
ways it was the most interesting party
of the year in Kenosha.
