Ignatius Breidt Caught at
Middle Street Crossing
and Instantly Killed
Early Today.
CONFUSED BY SWITCHING

Ignatius Breidt, aged 68 years, and
one of the most widely known of the
German pioneer citizens of Kenosha,
met instant death at half past six
O'Clock this n rning when he was
struck by the south bound Green Bay
train on the Northwestern tracks at
the Middle street crossing. His life
less body was thrown up against the
fence guarding the right of way of the
company. It was not mangled but
when a companion reached his side a
second after the train had Numbered
past he found that Mr.. Breidt was
dead
The deceased had been resident of
Kenosha for more than thirty-five
years and nearly all Of this time he had
been employed as department. head at
the plant of the N. R. Allen Son s
Company. He was on his way to work
at the time of the accident. The
Green Bay train was late and when
Mr.. Breidt and William Cole, a fellow
workman, reached the crossing, the ac-
commodation train was switching about
it. This train cleared the crossing and
the two men started to cross going east.
Cole saw the train coming from the
north in time to avoid being struck. He
shouted a warning to Mr.. Breidt as he
leaped away from the danger. Breidt
was in the center of the tracks when
the train struck him. The remains
were removed to the Hansen. morgue
and Coroner Millager notified and it is
probable that an inquest will be held to-
morrow.
Ignatius Breidt was one Of the best
known of the German born citizens of
Kenosha. He was born September 18,
1888, and he came to this country and
to Kenosha in 1882. Shortly after he
reached the city he became one of the
employees of the tannery and he had
been in the e~0~7ov of the company
ever since. "He was one of our old
est and most priced employees" tan
merry superintendent declared when
they were advised of the fatal accident.
He was an active worker in the ranks
of the German Working Men s society
and in the St. Joseph society of ST..
George church Since the death Of his
wife several years ago he had made
his home with his sons.
He is survived by two sons, John
Breidt, member of the Kenosha po-
lice force, and Frank Breidt, also of
Kenosha.
Funeral services will be held at ST..
George church at nine O'Clock Thurs

Russell Has Big Fire
On Friday Afternoon

The little village Of Russell on the
southern boundaries of Kenosha county
had the biggest fire in its history on
Friday afternoon when flames, which
broke out in the big creamery there,
threatened the entire town. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
destroyed the creamery and the ice
houses adjoining it with a loss of more
than six thousand dollars. The heat
from the fire broke windows in many
buildings on the opposite side of the
road and caused great excitement among
the owners of the building. The fire
protection was very limited and call
was sent to Kenosha. The west side
department responded, but with the
heavy roads the fremen from Kenosha
did not reach Russell until nearly four
clock and at that hour the fire was
under control. The loss by fire was
covered by insurance.

August Johnson, Old Resi-.
dent of KenOsha, Died a
Suicide at House on
West Side Thursday.
HAD LONG BEEN RESPONDENT

Unbalanced through grief over the
death of his wife which occurred more
than year and half ago, August
Johnson, aged fifty-eight years and one
of the oldest of the Swedish born resi-
dents of Kenosha, fred bullet into
his brain at his room at 1Sl North
Rowland avenue. No one knows just
what time johnson shot himself, but
his body was found lying on bed
in his room just before six o'clock on
Thursday evening by J. Holm with
whom he had resided for some time.
There was no note of explanation
and johnson had made no statement
to any of his close personal friends
more than to declare on several occa-
sions that some day he was going to
shoot himself. Johnson was employed
in the N. R. Allen Son IS tannery for
many years but in recent weeks he had
not been working. He returned to the
Holm residence in the early afternoon
on Thursday and he acted SO queerly
that the young lady who was in charge
of the house left him alone in his room
and went out for a visit with friends.
When Holm came from work he no
ticed Johnson's room open and going
in found the body. A single drop of
blood on the white covering of the bed
indicated the method Of his death.
The revolver small twenty two
calibre weapon--was found on the floor
close to the bed. It had three empty
chambers in it. A half filed box Of
cartridges lay on the bed near the
body. Coroner Millager was called and
he ordered the body removed to the
Hansen morgue pending further
investigation, but it is not expected
that an inquest will be held.
johnson s wife died on November
9th, 1915. They hadono, children and
there had been close companionship
between them. Since that time he had
been respondent and he had often ex-
pressed the fact that he was tired Of
living. He had worked irregularly
since the death of the wife and had
shown little interest in, life Adolph
Johnson, brother, took charge of the
body and made arrangements for the
funeral which is to be held at two
O'Clock Saturday afternoon at the
Hansen Chapel Interment will be
at Green Ridge.
johnson was born in Sweden,
May 81, 1858, and came to Kenosha
more than thirty years ago.

LIMITS COST TO 100000.
School Board Tells Architect That New
North Side Building Must be
Kept in This Figure.

The cost of the Washington school to
be located on the north side ball park
site, must not exceed ninety thousand
dollars This was the ultimatum of
the Board Of Education to the architect
at special meeting held at the City
Hall on Friday evening at which the
plans for the new building were dis
cussed at considerable length Archi-
tect Howard Hahn met with the mem
,bers of the board and many of the
features of the plans were discussed in
!" executive session 1t was decided
to place balcony in the gymnasium of
the building and the board voted that
the building must be absolutely fire
proof The ninety thousand dollar
limit set by the board is fifteen thous-
and dollars more than the originally
planned cost of the school and it is
thought that with this leeway the ar
chitect may be able to incorporate
changes suggested by the board The
plans and specifications are now being
completed and it is expected that
ground for the building will be broken
some time in MAY or at the latest in
the early part of June.

NOTICES TO Be SERVED SOON
Owners of Such Buildings Must Provide
Iron Stairways for Use Of People Who
May Use Halls and Offices on
Upper Floors Of the Buildings.

Assistant State Factory Inspector
David D. Evans, who is in charge of
Che enforcement Of the building laws
IF the state, started crusade in Ke-
losha today to secure better protection
or the lives Of people who may occupy
rails and apartments on the second and
third floors Of buildings in the down
town and some of the outlying districts.
The preliminary inspection indicates
that there are nearly hundred build
~ in the city which have not met the
demands of the state building depart
ment for safeguarding tenants. Many
of the buildings used as lodge and as
sembly halls and even dance halls, have
not fully complied with the state
provisions for safety and a lot of them
have made no effort to comply with
these regulations.
~ have not as yet served any no
tices, said Inspector Evans this
morning. 81 am just taking the mat
ter up with the owners of the buildings
and of course I hope that it will rot
be necessary to serve notices of q
formal nature. KenOsha people for the
most part have shown a willingness to
meet demands of the state department,
but in some manner these important
matters have been overlooked. The
state law demands that iron stairways
be installed so that all of these halls
shall have at least two exists and
they must be safe exists. The old
ladder fire escapes are not considered
sufficient to meet the demands of
the state regulation
The condition of these buildings has
oeen considerable of a care to the
inspectors Of the Kenosha fire depart
ment and for several years they have
been urging that the state regulations
be carried out The halls have been
maintained for so many years without
proper provisions for exists that the
owners of them have in some cases
resented the demands of the city and
state as being unnecessary caution. )"
In many of the cities of the state these
regulations have been enforced to the
WI ASbpOiJ Ny N1plCl JllS lOSdl uCDdIb-
ments or the deputies of the state
building department. The cost of put
ting the proper exits on some of the
older Kenosha buildings will be consid-
cradle and it is going to be something
of an engineering feat in some cases to
find proper locations for these exits.
Inspector Evans will be busy for
some time getting all of the facts in
regard Co the Kenosha buildings and
as soon as this material has been whip
ped into form it is expected that the
state department. will take up the whip
against all owners of buildings who fail
TO heed the call of the inspector.
The suggestions being made are
wholly for the safety of the people and
Inspector Evans has shown a willing
ness to be entirely reasonable in meet
ing the needs of the various buildings.
