BREAK DOORS OF Her HOUSE
Police Officers Find Hard Working Wo-
man Nude on the Floor of Her Bed
room When Anxious Relatives Ask
for Search on Tuesday Afternoon.

Mrs. Elizabeth Maurer, aged seventy
two years, resident of the city for
more than quarter of a century and
widely known to the business men of
had served as charwoman in many
of the down town business houses dur
ing the time she had lived in Kenosha
was found dead in her home at $40
Park street just before six o'clock
Tuesday evening. The condition of the
body indicated that the old lady had
been dead for several days and it is
thought that she died early Sunday
morning. She was last seen on Satur-
day evening when she returned to her
home late in the afternoon after a
hard days work. To her neighbors she
complained of being tired and it was
apparent that she had suffered greatly
from the effects of the heat.
Monday afternoon little grandson
of Mrs. Maurer had gone to the house
seeking the old lady but when he found
the door locked he thought that she
was out working some place and he
paid no further attention to the case.
On Tuesday afternoon just after five
O'Clock he again went to the house.
This time he noticed that the KEY of
the fsont door was in the lock on the
inside of the door and he talked with
the neighhors. They declared that they
had not seen the old lady since Satur-
day. Police officers William and Ed
ward Bienemarh were sent to the house
to make an investigation. They broke
open the doors Of the house with an
axe and going to the second floor they
found the nude body Of the old lady
laying on the floor of her bedroom
Coroner II. c., MilIager was called to
make an investigation and physicians
were summoned. The physicians de-
clared that the old lady had probably
died from heat prostration. She1ived
2.one in the house and it is thought
hat she had taken off all of her clothing
in an effort to keep cool 1t looked as
if she was crawling toward the bed
when she was stricken.
Mrs. Maurer was the widow of the
late Philip Maurer. She was born in
Germany October %, 1843, and she
came to Kenosha twenty-six years ago
landing here on the day that fire de-
stroyed the Kenosha Water Cure and
the Allen tanneries. Soon after that
Sc began work as scrub woman.
Although she is reputed to have been
independently wealthy she never gave
up her work. She has acted as clean
err for many of the big buildings in
Kenosha up to last Saturday night and
it was a familiar sight to see her walk
ing along the streets with box on her
head carrying home supply of fire
wood and kindling. Among her close
friends she was known as Mother"
Maurer She had a rare German wit
and she was a great favorite among
the people who employed her.
Mrs. Maurer is survived by three
sons and a daughter.
The funeral services will be held from
the German Lutheran church on Friday
afternoon and interment will be at the
family plot at Green Ridge.
Coroner Millager, after making an
investigation, declared that he was
convinced that Mrs. Maurer had died
of natural causes and that there was
no evidence of anything in the nature
of foul play

GETS YEAR IN PRISON.
Foreigner Charged With Taking Liber-
ties With Little Girl Sent to
Waupun by Judge Randall

Martin Ikbowski, arrested several
days ago on charges of taking indecent
liberties with Mary Pechinski, five
year old girl, was sentenced to a term
of one year in the state prison by
Judge Randall and he was taken up to
Waupun to begin his term on Tuesday
afternoon. The man pleaded tguilty"
to the charges against him in the NUM-
cipal Court and did not offer any ex-
cuses for his action. The little girl was
in no way injured and the evidence in
the case was of such a sensational
nature as to make it unfit for the pub
lie print. Ikbokski has lived in Keno
sha for. several years.
