scHILDT VERDICT rs AFFIRMED
Supreme Court Holds That Kenosha
Man May Not Recover Against
Chicago and Milwaukee Road.

The Wisconsin Supreme court on Tues
day handed down decision affirming
the Circuit court of Kenosha county in
the non-suiting of the action brought by
Louis Schildt of Kenosha against the
Chicago, and Milwaukee Electric Rail
way Company. Schildt was terribly in
jured at one of the stations south Of
Kenosha when he was struck by a car
on the lines of the defendant company.
At the time he was struck he was stand
ing near the track holding lighted
match in an effort to signal the motor
man to stop the car. He demanded ten
thousand dollars damages. The court
held that he did not have the right Of
a passenger to recover from the COM
pany. The case was unique on account
of the fact that it was the first case
in which an effort had been made to
establish the rights in law of person
who sought to signal an electric car.
Judge Belden held that Schildt was
guilty of negligence and this decision
has been upheld by the Supreme court.

Kenosha Water Plant Is Dis.
abled Because WOrkmen
Had No Idea Where It
Was Located.
TO SHUT OFF WATER TONIGHT

Put aside couple of buckets Of
of water. Some time between now
and tomorrow morning al the water
in the mains of the City Water
Company is going to be shut off and
it may be several hours before it is
turned ON again.
The superintendent Of the water
company discovered late Tuesday af-
ternoon that the intake had been dis
abled and the pressure in the mains
fell to ffty-fve pounds at five 'clock
last night. The trouble is that some
workmen employed on work for Sim
mons Company drove big oak piling
right through the intake pipe at point
pumping plant on Market street.
Workmen started digging within a few
minutes after the pile punctured the
intake, but up to noon today the break
had not been found. The pipe is of
cast iron and it is possible that it is
not punctured but simply bent out of
shape. Greiling Brothers, who have
charge of the installation of the new
intake for the water company, have
been given the contract to make the
repairs. The amount of water running
through the intake has been greatly
reduced and this morning the best pres
sure secured was sixty-fve pounds and
this was before there was any general
use of water in the city.
It is impossible to tell how seri-
GUS damage has been done to the in
take pipe" said one of the officials of
the water company "Of course, the
break, if there is one, is within the
made land along the lake shore east of
the pumping plant and we are hopeful
that it will be an easy matter to make
the repairs. We are not planning to
shut OFFS the water during the busy
hours of the day, but it will probably
be shut off early this evening or dur
ing the night and every possible effort
will be made to get the repairs com
pleted before daylight tomorrow. Wealth
er conditions are not of the best but
the contractors are hopeful that they
can make repairs within few hours
after the break is discovered and
the water shut off so that they can
get to it,
It is declared that the men response
bic for the break had no idea that the
intake pipe was anywhere in the neigh
borhood until the pile struck the big
pipe. This is the first break in the in
take pipe since its installation and the
men at the water works plant are Just
little in doubt as to just what will
be demanded to repair it. People are
urged, pending the repair Of the pipe,
to be as sparing of the use of water
as possible in order that pressure may
be maintained for fire purposes. Plans
have been made to connect the city
mains with the mains of Simmons com
pany in case there should be a. fire in
the city and it is thought that this
would be necessary in order to main
tain fire pressure.

WENT TO FIGHT INDIANS.
Kenosha Boy Held in Racine Pending
the Coming of Some One 20 Re-
turn Him to Kenosha.

The police of Racine are endeavoring
to establish the identity of a thirteen
year-old boy, who says he lives in Ke-
nosha and gives his name as John SUI
wasky.
The boys parents evidently are not
worrying about him, for he has been
leading tramp's life in Racine for four
days, sleeping out nights and securing
his meals as best he could. He was
picked up Tuesday evening by Officer
Nelson and is now at the probation
rooms. Kenosha has been communicated
with, but has not been able to find the
boys relatives.
Suwasky said that he went to Racine
on last Saturday, and has been having
a good time since. He presents such a
pathetic figure, with his tattered clo-
thing and woe-begone face that it was
easy for him to secure his meals The
lad evidently secured money in some
way, also, for moving picture proprietors
remember seeing him at number of
performances.
When taken to the police station the
lad said he didn t care to go home,
as he was having good time. He
said that he originally ran away from
home to shoot Indians He had
two auto name plates in his possession
and also small pop-gun. The police
believe that he pried theSname@ plates
loose from automobiles
