lot, struck the tarraced bank of the
lot and bent both front wheels back
under. The driver managed to turn it
but it ran off the sidewalk and back
into the middle of the road before it
stopped. No one was hurt but had the
car tipped over the result would proba-

erne, Cornwall, England. May 3, 1882,
and died at his farm home, near Jones'
dale, Wis, Dec. %, 1916, being S4 yrs.
6 months and Is days of age.
When a young man his parents re-
moved to Hayle, where their son be-
came an engineer, and there he re-
mained until his emigration to the
United States in 1866.
He was married in England to Miss
Mary Tremayne, who some years later
passed away, leaving three children,
namely; John, now prosperous farm
er in Waldwick, Mrs. w. o. Hosken of
Mineral Point, and Mrs. Ellen Venning

commenced farming two years later,
and subsequently he purchased the
farm in Waldwick where he has resided
ever since.

OF our pioneer agriculturists for thirty
four years, when death again entered
his home and took away his beloved
wife. Three children were born Of this

tian life since early manhood, when
he was led TO Christ by the Rev,
Walter Vercoe. He soon after became
student Of theology and was appoint

to the position of lay preacher. He
was active and successful in this i'm
portant work until old age made it inn
possible to answer the many calls made
upon him. Soon after moving to Wald-
wick he established religious services
in a school house near his farm, and
later was chiefly instrumental in build
ing the Bethel church.
Far and wide Mr.. Bond is known, and
his memory revered, especially in south

tian character and his most acceptable
services as a minister of the Word.
His illness has been Of long standing,
but became more aggravated a year
ago. Lovingly his family has cared for
their father who passed away on Sat
urday evening. The faith he has
preached to others gave him victory il
his closing moments and made his enc
triumphant.

wall, and a brother, Rev w. j. G
Bond. pastor Of the Congregations

'HoME TOWN GIRL, REAL SHOW
Hyans and Mcintyre Please Large
Crowd at the Rhode Opera House
In Tuneful Comedy.

The regular theatrical season in Ke-
nosha had an suspicious opening at the
Rhode on Tuesday evening when John
Hyams and Leila Mcintyre rollicked
through the two delicious acts of "My
Home Town Girl It is a comedy of
the real sort, with pretty catchy music
and featured with a beauty chorus
which would make hit in any town.
1t was the first visit of Hyams and his
charming wife to Kenosha and they
laughed and sang themselves right into
the hearts of the people of Kenosha so
that their coming annual visits will be
real events in the theatrical calendar
of Kenosha. No more charming must
cal comedy was ever seen on the stage
of the Rhode 1t was loaded full with
clean wholesome fun and the music
had tuneful something to it that
compelled repeated curtain calls. The
dry humor of John Hyams as "Tony
Darling,o divided honors of the
evening with the clever singing
and dancing of the co-star, Leila
Mcintyre. They were not the only
stars of the evening. Edna Won
Luke had very clever impersonation
of Madame Marie, and Maurice Darcy
was decidedly funny as the erich
Uncle" The music was of the whist
ling kind and along the clever song
hits were "Hello Dorothy May"
Glove Me in the Morning Early"
"Boy of Mineo and of course the real

FORGOT TO NOTIFY CONSUL.
Judge Taylor Refuses Administration
II Estate of Russian When Consul
Was Not Notified.

An international problem was solved
in the County Court on Tuesday after
noon when Judge Taylor denied admin
istration for the estate of Simon An
d1szkiewicz, Russian who was fatally
injured in an accident in a Kenosha
factory some time ago. A Milwaukee
attorney had fled petition of cred
itor of the deceased demanding the
appointment of an administrator. At
ter the evidence was in, it was found
that the attorney had not served the
twenty-day notice on the Russian vice
consul and Judge Taylor promptly dis
missed the whole proceeding. The new
law provides that in every estate where
heirs in another country are interested.
the nearest vice-consul shall be given at
least twenty days notice of the date
set for the hearing of an application
for the settlement of an estate.

Kenosha students at the University
of Wisconsin must come home to vote
if they want to vote for president at
the coming general election, as the
Supreme Court of the state on Tuesday
handed down a decision in which it
was held that students at the univer-
sity could not vote in Madison unless
it was shown that the city of Madison
was their permanent resident. The de-
cision is the first to be written by JUS
tice Eshweiler. About twenty students
from Kenosha county are in attend
ance at the university, but many of
them are not of voting age. Most of
the Kenosha students in the past have
insisted on retaining their voting resi-
dence in Kenosha even when attending
the state school.

HOLD STATE LAW VIOLATED
Cases of Two Boys from Chicago Held
on Grand Larceny Charge to be Used
to Urge Appointment of Probation
Officers for Child Offenders.

Prominent members of the City Clut
Of Kenosha in session on Tuesday af
ternoon, raised a protest against the in
generation in the county Jail Of two
Chicago boys, John Brandenburg anc
Peter Porstner, aged twelve and ter
years, and the club rembers protested
that in the jailing these two boys
the officials were guilty Of violation
of the law for the protection Of
juvenile offenders.
The two boys which stirred The
storm of protest, wer taken to Chicago
on Tuesday evening by one Of the
juvenile probation officers of that city
and whatever charges are TO be made
against them will beAnade in the juve
nile courts of Chicago The club WON
en- declared that it was possible that
an appeal would be made to higher Of
fcials of the state to prevent a reeur
renee of such an event in Keafasha. :.
"The state law strictly provides, .
said one of the leaders of the woraen
''that officials of cities and counties
must not incarceratef in any jail or city
lookup children under the age of four
teen years, but that they shall be turn
ed over to Some snbati1n officer and
kept pending the Investigation of such
charges as may be filed against them
These two boys were kept in cell at
the county Jail for forty-eight hours
Of course, I understand that they were
not permitted to mingle with other and
older prisoners in the Jail, but they
were held contrary to the provisions
of the law. This case is just one of the
cases which emphasizes the need Of a
probation officer in Kenosha. The boys
who go wrong have right to the full
protection accorded them by the state
law and this protection included free
dom from being forced to sleep in a
county jail or police office.''
It is understood that the appointment
of a probation officer for the county
will again be urged at the coming No
vember meeting of the County Board
At the last session of the board the plan
failed to meet with support, but since
the meeting lot Of work has been done
to edneate the members of the board
along the lines of the value of proba-
tion officers. Few small boys have been
held in Jail in Kenosha. The officers
insist that there was nothing else to be
done with the two boys brought here
from Waukegap. They had been
charged with grand larceny and they
had to be held somewhere until their
parents could come and take care of
them or until they could be cared for by
some official. The boys were without
money for their support and it was i'm
possible to turn them out into the
streets. No formal charge was brought
against the pair here on account of
their tender age.
