TO WATCH SHERIDAN ROAD.
Shedidan Road Improvement Associa-
tion to Put Car on the Road
to Chart the Dangers.

An official automobile will be placed
in service on Sheridan Road within a
short time by the Sheridan Road I'm
provement Association for the purpose
of charting and make temporary mark
ings along the highway. The car will
be kept on the road several weeks.
This car will be kept on the road every
day until the work is completed. The
highway will be charted so that the
motorist will be able to follow it easily.
The highway is badly in need of mark
ings which will be temporary, until
more permanent markings can be es-
tablished. The road is badly in need
of this feature. Active work in the
improvement of che road is to be fol-
lowed this winter. The greatest
amount of agitation will be- conferred
ON Kenosha county as the stretch of
road north of this city is considered
as the poorest between Chicago and
Milwaukee.

BASED ON COUNTY VALUES
No Chance Will Be Offered for This
County to Secure Further Amount
from State Unless Bonds Are Issued
Not Influenced by Town Bonds.

County Clerk Russell II. Jones this
morning received formal notice from
the Wisconsin State Highway Commits
sion that the apportionment of Keno
sha county for state highways for 1917
would be $15,481S0 and this will be
available at any time after the collec-
ton of the taxes that year. The
amount is to be taken from the general
fund of the state and under the new
law no levy of highway taxes will be
made against the county to reimburse
the state for the amount paid over to
the county officials. The amount paid
to the various counties in the state is
based entirely on the valuation of the
taxable property of the county Under
this rule Kenosha county is entitled to
1880 of the total appropriation made
by the legislature for state aid for
highways. This total was 1921, 700.37
made up of the appropriation of
$785, 900 made at the last session of
the Legislature and $136,700 which
was secured as the state s portion of
automobile license fees.
Under the new law there is no chance
for a further appropriation to be'made
to Kenosha county unless the legisla-
ture at it's coming session shall make a
new appropriation for highways which
would be available at once. It is not
thought that there is any reason to be-
ieve that such an appropriation will
be made. In other years the amount
of the state aid was based on the
amounts raised by the towns and the
county for road work, but this year
the amount is in no way Influenced by
the amount raised in the towns. The
amount, however will not amount to
the amounts raised by the svarious
towns in the county. If Kenosha de-
sires further money for road work in
1917 from the state it will be necessary
to have the State Highway Commission
arrange for the issuance of road bonds
which will be paid by the county with
the understanding that the county will
be reimbursed in the future from the
general highway fund of the state. AS
the state now gives a fixed amount to
aid in road work there was no con-
lecture as to the amount.
1t is thought that with the amount
appropriated to the county by the
state added to the amounts appro-
priated by the towns and the county
it will be possible to carry out all road
work planned with the exception of the

.DESPONDENT OVER A GIRL
Friends Claim That Young Woman to-
Whom He Proposed Marriage Failed
to Accept His Proposal-Had Car
tridges for Revolver With Him.

Andrew Cacany, aged thirty years.
an Austrian who resided at 521 Middlei
street, died in mystery on the Middle.
street bridge on Grand avenue just af1
ter midnight this morning. A bullet
from a thirty-eight calibre revolver
had passed through the very center of
his heart and while it is thought that
the man was a suicide, the police are
making an investigation.
Cacany had resided in Kenosha for
the past five or six years and for the
past three years he had been employed
at the plant of Simmons Company.
The man is said to have been de-
spondent for some time. Just after
midnight Sunday night Cacany, joe
KOrbel and Paul Sine were walkingi
west along Grand avenue. The threei
men were friends and all of them re-
sided on Middle street When the trio
reached the Grand avenue bridge Ca
cany stopped and the other two mem
walked on. The last they saw of him
he was standing against the railing of
the bridge. The two men told the POI
lice that they walked as far as West
Main street when they heard a revolt
yer shot They ran back to the bridge.
and found Cacany sitting on the curb
along the sidewalk. "What s the
matter Andy?' one of the men said to
him, but there was no response andl
when the men made an examination
they found that blood was fOwingt
They summoned Police Officer Rupp,
but when the officer arrived Cacanyl
was dead. The police ambulance was
called and with it the county coroner.
The remains were removed to the Ham
sen morgue and Coroner Millager took
up the investigation. The two ,men
who had been with Cacany just before
the shooting told straight, forward
story. They asserted that the man hadi
appeared to be in good spirits, but
both of them admitted that they had
known that he had been respondent on
account of a romantic attachment for
q young woman. 1t is said that
she had not met kindly his sugges-
ton of marriage.
Near the dead body of Cacany the
police officers found an automatic re-
volver. There had been a single cart
ridge in the revolver but forty-nine
similar cartridges had been found in the
clothing of the man. His friends be-
Eeve that he had planned to commit
suicide early in the evening but he had
been so surrounded by friends that he
had no chance to carry out his plan
until the men reached the bridge.
The friends of Cacany claim that
they have no idea who the young.
woman in whom the Austrian had taken
such an interest was, but that she lived
somewhere on the west side in Keno
sha. Cacany was known as a hard
working young Austrian and he had
been employed at one post at the Sim
mons factory for the past three years.
Under the Simmons insurance plan he
will have a benefit of eight hundred
dollars coming to him. This is made
payable to brother living in Austria.
So far as is known the young man has
no relatives living in Kenosha or in
this country. No arrangements will be
made for the funeral until after the
coroner and the police department have
completed their investigations
