PETRACCI SEEKS PAROLE.
Kenosha Man Serving Three Year
Term at Waupun Asks for Glenn
ency Of the State Board.

Dominick Petracci, Kenosha man who
was sentenced on November 4th, 1914,
to term of three years in the state
prison at Waupun after pleading to
charges Of shooting his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Raeffle Blase in Kenosha, has
made an application to the State Board
of Control for a parole. Petracci has
been in prison a little over twenty
months and it is declared that he has
been model prisoner. The shooting
took place at the Petracci home ON the
west side of the city and at the time
Mrs. Blase was shot she was given no
warning. She was singing Petracci s
little baby to sleep when he walked
into the room and opened fire. The
bullet took effect in her left arm and
she was in the hospital for some time.
She has entirely recovered from the eff
feet of the wound. Petracci fed from
the city following the shooting and was
located two months later working in
stone quarry at Knowles, Wis. He
was arrested by Chief of Police O'Hare
at the point of a revolver and brought
back to Kenosha charged with at
tempted murder. Before he pleaded
in court the charge was changed to
one of assault with a deadly weapon
regardless of human life. While under
the rules of the state board Petracci
is eligible to parole, it is probable that
there will be objections to his release
on the part of the Kenosha officials
who were connected with the trial.
The hearing on the parole is to be held
at Madison on July 25th and it is ex-
pected that the district attorney will
appear at that time to present his views
in the case.

CLIFFORD G. YOUNG DEAD.

Clifford G. Young, aged sixteen
years, son of Charles E. Young, keeper
of the Kenosha lighthouse and former

Mich, September 10, 1899 and he had
resided in Kenosha for the past ten
years. After the close of the term of
the High School he had accepted a
position in the Hurd Drug store and
he was at work when he was taken i'll.
The young man had given great prom
Use and his sudden death came as a
great shock to his relatives and
friends. The funeral services will be

SHERIFF GETS SACRED MULE. ;
Louis Van Houten, Old Bristol Reclus,
Sent to Mendoza and Mule Will
go to Pastures Green.

Louis Van Houten, the old Bristol
recluse was adjudicated insane in the
county court on Tuesday afternoon and
this afternoon he entered the state
hospital at Mendoza for treatment.
Van Houten did not make any great
objections to going to the hospital He
talked the matter over with the ply
sicians examining him and declared at
the end of the examination that it was
possible that he was not just mentally
competent. He confded to the doctors
that the reason he had kept the old
mule in the barn for SO many years
was the fact that he had vision in
which he had been shown that this was
sacred mule.o The sacred mule
was turned over to the sheriff and It
will be taken from the barn and turned
out into pastures green. Van Houten
showed great solicitude/ for the care of
the old mule and the sheriff told him
that it would be given every possible
care.

POLITICIANS ALL GONE.
Republicans and Democrats Alike De
sert -Kenosha to Attend Conven-
lions in Madison and Milwaukee.

Kenosha had little standing as a
political center today as the real
'leaders of both the Democracy and
the Republicans left the city early this
morning and went to Madison and
Milwaukee to attend the state conven-
tion of the two parties. There was a
dozen in the delegation to the Demo
cratic convention and almost as many
in the Republican contingent. There
was no fixed program for the action
Of either of the delegations. of course
the Republicans were for Philip for
governor and it was said that the
Democrats would support Burt Will
hams, the former Ashland mayor, in
preference to Dan Grady of Portage,
who is being proposed by the old guard
Of Democrats as candidate for gov
ernor. Tt is expected that both of the
conventions will complete their work
this afternoon and the Kenosha men
are expected home this evening.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-07-13

is thought that the Milwaukee man
will send some one to investigate
the case later on.
The only excuse that Forbes gave for
breaking into the Windesheim home
was that he was out Of work and dis
couraged. He declared that he had
come to Kenosha seeking work and
that he could not find any. He is a
sufferer from tuberculosis and appear
ed to be in bad shape when he was in
court on Tuesday evening. Detectives
were summoned from both Milwaukee
and Waukegan to give information in
regard to Forbes and sentence on him
was deferred until this morning in
order to give the officials chance
to learn something more in regard to
the fellow. Tt is thought possible that
Bohlke may also plead guilty to the
charges against him after he has had
his talk with the consular agent.
The wound Of Forbes was not caus-
ing him great deal of trouble. The
bullet which was fred into his arm
is still there fattened against the
bone and no effort has been made to
remove it.
Mrs. r. G. Watrous, well known
Waukegan woman, and her daughter
came to Kenosha this morning and
identified all Of the jewelry found in
the pockets of the two men arrested
on Tuesday as jeWelry which had been
taken from her home in Waukegan in
daylight burglary on Monday after
noon. She also identified Forbes as a
man who had been seen in the neigh
borhood Of the house. The revolver
which Forbes waved in his fight with
the police had been part Of the Loot
taken from the Watrous home. The
Waukegan house was entered just be
fore FIVE O'Clock Monday afternoon
There was no one in the house at
the time.

HELP THE CITY BE SAFE.

Thoughtless people in Kenosha
are making the fire hazard in
the city very grave one just
at present on account of the use
of water from the city mains for
sprinkling purposes. These peo-
pie are using the water for
sprinkling purposes during the
hours of the day that there is
an unusual heavy demand for
the factories. AS a result the
pressure out on the west side
this morning dropped down
from sixty to thirty-nine pounds.
People are urged to sprinkle
their lawns and gardens after
the supper hour in the evening.
Experts declare that this is the
time when sprinkling will do
the most good for the grass and
the plants and using the water
for sprinkling at this time will
not endanger property in case
there should be fire. This
appeal is made with a view of
getting a little civic patriotism
along Safety First lines. VIII

MORE MYSTERY IS
ADDED TO DEATH
OF MISS DiEMER

PONTIAC, His, Nov. lG--A new
note of mystery was added to The trag-
ic death of Christine Diemer today by
\. =. Middleton. The physician who
performed the autopsy on the BODY,
who declared that in his opinion me
girls body vas thrown into the Yer
million River not more than three days
before it was found.
This apparently established a lapse
of nine days from the time or her dis
appearance until the body was thr0Tn
into the river investigators worked
all day in an effort 70 find SOME trace
Of the girls wanderings between the
time she disappeared and the day her
body was recovered. She disappeared
from the Diemer home OCTOBER ~ ana
her body was found in the Nermllon
River November S.
Some OF the theories advanced were
that the girl was murdered the night
of her disappearance. her body hidden
for nine days and then thrown in the
river. or while in a hysterical state of
mind she fled into the nearby woods
and remained there until sh" was at
taxed. Another theory advanced was
she might have been held prisoner IN
Il hut along the river until she WAS
murdered.
Or Middleton asserted the woman
might have been killed Immediately
before she was thrown into the river,
or several days before.
