POOLING WITH SHOT GUN
William Cerach Accidentally Pulls Trig-
ger and Shoots Comrade Only Ten
Feet Away Right Leg
Riddled With Shot.

Kenosha paid it's first tribute Of the
year to nimrod Sunday morning about
ten O'Clock when Stephen Kernepsky,
aged thirty-six, was accidentally shot
in the right leg by his hunting com
panion, William Cerach. The accident
occurred in Tobin IS Woods, about five
miles south of the city, and although
Kernepsky was hurried to the Keno
sha hospital there is still grave dan
ger that he will die from the loss Of
blood. The scattering shot from the
shotgun severed the artery and for
the time rendered the lower part of
the leg useless and also splintered the
femur, but it is now believed that it
will not be necessary to amputate I'M
less complications arise.
Kernepsky with Cerach and Julian
Krupirsky, all of whom live at 301
Sheridan Road, started on the i'll fated
hunting trip early Sunday morning.
When they reached the scene of the
accident Cerach with the shotgun in
his hands, sat down on log while
Krupinsky and Kernepsky, the latter
in the rear, started toward the creek.
Cerach, when the men were less than
ten feet away began "fooling with the
gum and in some way accidentally
discharged it with the result that the
contents of both barrels imbedded
themselves in the right leg Of Kernep-
sky. In spite of all efforts to stop
the flow Of blood, the ragged wounds
bled profusely and it is certain that
the victim would have died from loss
of blood had not Herman Krieger as
sisted the hunters in bringing him to
the hospital. Krieger, who is farm
er Of that vicinity, drove by in his car
and when hailed by Krupinsky hur-
#ried to Kenosha for the ambulance be-
cause the wounded man was in such a
condition. that he could not be brought
to the city in an ordinary touring car.
The ambulance call was answered
quickly and Kernepsky was at the hos
pital in less than an hour after che
accident had happened. Even then
he had lost SO much blood that his re-
covery was in doubt. Kernepsky, who
suffered intensely from the wounds all
day Sunday and Monday, rallied late
this afternoon and although he is not
yet past danger, he has now more than
an even chance to recover.
All three hunters tell exactly the
same story which is also substantiated
by Krieger. Cerach was an intimate
friend Of Kernepsky and is willing to
meet any expense for the recovery of
the man, whom his recklessness harm
ed. The accidental shooting, which is
the first of the year, is another of the
long list of hunting accidents which
carefulness might have avoided bit
which cannot in any way be blamed
upon any of the participants.

The most democratic organization in
the world is the American Red Cross.
1t is not an organization of badge
wearers, but an organization of work
ers. There is no woman in Kenosha
who need to hesitate in entering on it's
work with the fear that she will not
be welcome. It's field is as wide as
humanity and the demand for its serv-
ice is great enough to enlist the best
efforts of every man and woman who
has heart interest in the relief of
suffering. IF you are of this class your
place is with the Red Cross and with
the Red Cross now.

JAMES PERRONE
BACK FOR TRIAL
Kenosha Men Arrested in Brooklyn
Brought Back to Answer Charges
of Attempt to Murder,

James Perrone, alias James Trossi,
former Kenosha man, wanted on a
charge of attempting to murder James
Circari in west side saloon on the
night of January 9th last, was in a
cell at the county Jail today. He was
brought back from Brooklyn, New
York, by Chief of Police Owen O'Hare
and reached Kenosha just after mid
night. Trossi, as he is known il Ke-
nosha, made no fight against extradi-
ton, but it is expected that he will
have an elaborate defense when the
charges against him are called for
trial. AS the district attorney was
away from the city on official bust
ness today the hearing of the ac-
cused man will probably be continued
until Wednesday.
