DON'T WANT ANY ARREST
Man Insists That the Shooting Was En-
tirely Accidental and That He Is Not
DESTROYS of Any Report Being Made
to the Police Department

Charles Myokus, twenty-four years
of age, working on the Gantzer farm
in the town of Pleasant Prairie, is at
Kenosha hospital with thirty 1.-TWO
calibre bullet wound in his left thigh.
1t is thought possible that the bullet
shattered the thigh bone. Myokus is a
good sport and chivalrous gentle
man and he is suffering without word
all on account of the fact that the
wound was inflicted by woman. 1t
was not Intentional wound, but this
fact is not going to prevent the man
being laid UP for some time as result
of it. No report Of the shooting has
been made to the police department
and no report is going to be made
MyoIus is willing to suffer in silence
and while he knows who shot him and
all the circumstances surrounding the
shooting he is not going to tell on
the party.
The shooting took place at a board
ing house out on Tanck avenue on
Sunday morning. Myokus is a Lithu-
anian and he had gone to the house to
spend the morning with some of his
friends. The members of the party
were laughing and joking with each
other when enc of the women in the
house, said to be the landlady, took a
part in the sport. She playfully pulled
a revolver out of a table drawer
+" Just remember boys that [ am not
afraid of a revolver and 7 know how
to shoot one,' said said as she lifted
the gun. A second later there was an
explosion and the bullet from the re-
volver winged Myokus in the left
thigh. The woman was hysterieal af
ter the accidental shooting and she re-
fused to be comforted. DR.. M. A.
Bernstein was called to attend the
injured man and he was hurried to the
Hospital in an ambulance.
The examination showed that the
bullet had ploughed deeply into the
fleshy part CT the thigh and DR., Bern
stein declared this morning that it had
probably splintered the bone.
After he reached the hospital Myokus
declared that he did not want any of
fetal investigation into the shooting
and that he was satisfied that it was
an accident and that the woman would
not have shot any, one for anything.
This view Of the matter was carried
out by statements Of other witnesses
and on this account no report of the
shooting was made to the police.
It is declared that there is no serious
danger in the wound of Myokus, but
he will be laid up for long time.

JENSEN WARRANT RETURNED
Governor Philip Entirely Satisfied With
the Sheriff's Action on the Warrant
and He Declared the Incident
Closed This Morning.

Cordial relations between the execu-
tive offices of the state government at
Madison and the private Office of the
county Jail in Kenosha county, have
been re-established this morning and
Sheriff Andrew f. Stahl is not going to
Madison on Wednesday to show the
government cause for not removing
him for malfeasance in Office, for his
failure to arrest Pete Jensen, farm
hand, wanted on an abandonment
charge down in Indiana. Sheriff Stahl
got an autograph letter from Governor
Philip this morning telling him that
it would not be necessary to appear at
Madison on Wednesday as had been
stated in a former more or less official
communication received by the sheriff
from the governor. The matter seems
to be entirely satisfactory both to the
governor and the sheriff
ct am convinced that when the gov
ernor heard the facts in this case he
would find no cause for complaint, +"
said the sheriff this morning "The
statement you have made is entirely
satisfactory to me,'' said the governor
in his letter. It develops that since
the governor had cited the sheriff to
appear and show cause all the facts
in connection with the warrant for
the arrest Of Peter Jensen have been
looked up.
To the ordinary man it appeared
that there was about a ffty-ffty split
between the governors Office and in
Madison and the sheriffs office in Ke-
nosha with peeved lawyer down in
Indiana wanting to put the whole fault
on the sheriff of Kenosha county. It
developed in the Investigation that the
papers for the arrest of Jensen had
been held at Madison about two
months after the request for his arrest
had been made by the governor at
Indiana. OF course the warrant had
been held in this county for something
over a year, but in qhe meantime the
sheriff of this county had conferred
with the officials down in Indiana and
had given them several excellent sug-
gestions as to how they might be able
to secure the arrest of Jensen, who
at one time worked as a farm hand in
this county. The sheriff had the ex-
cellent defense that Jensen had left
Kenosha county more than month be-
fore he secured the warrant, but ne
had told the Tdiana officials where they
might locate Jensen. He admitted in
notation" on the back of the Jensen
warrant returned to the governor, that
he had been in error in not returning
the warrant when he failed to get his
man. He suggested that he had acted
in good faith as he had thought possible
that Jensen might return to this county
and that he had kept on the look out
for him with an intent to arrest him if
he appeared again.
Meantime everything is lovely and
the governor and the sheriff are on the
best of terms and the sheriff is as
sured that he is going to serve out his
term without official interference from
Madison. Possibly the man who hand
led the papers at Madison has been
advised that in catching criminals
speed is necessary in the office of the
governor as in the Office of the sheriff

WATCH THE CHRISTMAS
TREE.

Kenosha has been very fort
innate this winter so far as fires
are concerned. However, Christ
mas is close at hand and
Christmas trees are to be placed
in many homes. Heads of fire
departments are unanimous in
their opinion that Christmas
trees, with infammable decora-
tions, are a source of great dan
ger and that every precaution
ton should be taken to avoid
a confagration.
The state fire marshal has sent
out a number of valuable sug-
gestions, which Fire Marshal
Isermann thinks it would be
well for the people to observe.
Here they are:
A match, a gas jet, an cleo
trical defect or a cigar or ciga-
rette stub may ignite decorations
Keep decorations away from
gas jets. Do not permit smok-
ers to light cigars inside the
stores. Do not tamper with the
electric wiring. Get an cleo
trician.
Fire insurance policies usu-
ally provide that a WillfuI in
crease of the fire hazard renders
the polie5 void.
Set the tree firmly, so child
rem cannot upset it. Use me-
tallic tinsel and non-i nfammable
decorations, not cotton.
Powdered mica or ASBESTOS
fibre can be used to represent
snow.
Children should not be allowed
to light candies when parents
are not present. They are LA
able to set their clothes on
fire. To this end lock up
all matches.
The tree should be removed
Immediately after Christmas, as
the needles dry and ignite
readily. A number Of these
fires occur in January.

ON Time TO The MINUTE
Income Taxes of 1927, 944.16 Swell the
Total of the Tax Warrant to Make Tt
the Largest in the History of the
City by over 100000.

The city tax warrant completed by
City Clerk Harrington and his assist
ants and signed by the mayor just be-
fore noon today, went to the city
treasurer this afternoon exactly on the
time demanded by the state law and
it commanded the treasurer to get busy
and collect taxes and special assess
ments totaling $875,782.92. 1t was the
biggest tax warrant by more than a
hundred thousand dollars ever turned
over to the treasurer by the city clerk.
The treasurer will not be ready to start
actual collection of taxes for another
week as the accounts must all be
indexed and as there are some four
thousand of them it is going to take
from a week to ten days to get the
books ready for the issuance of receipts.
The high lights in the warrant were
the sixteen mill city levy amounting
to $547 ,3708S, the income tax to be
collected in the city amounting to
1927 944.16 and the special assess
ments which grouped amounted to a
total Of 50,46788.
For the past two months the city
clerk and his assistants have been busy
much of the time working far into the
night, getting the tax roll ready. 1t
was impossible to make the formal as
sessment until after the last meeting
of the council when the formal tax
levy was voted.
Tt is not expected that the treasurer
will collect the total Of 1875, 1892 as
a part of the income taxes charged on
the tax roll will be offset by the pay
ment of personal property taxes by
people against whom the income taxes
have been assessed. Tt is expected that
the total collections will come pretty
close to the 100000 mark. The
detail of the tax roll shows the follow
ing charges:
