ARREST TWO BARRIERS.
Official of the State Health Department
Comes to Make an Inspection
of the Local Shops.

E. G. Puerner, one of the inspectors
of the Wisconsin State Board of Health,
came to Kenosha on Thursday and
started an inspection of the barber
shops of the city. AS result of the
first two hours work in Kenosha he
fled complaints against Frederick Ellis
and Joseph DeCesaro, keepers of a
west side barber shop. They were
charged with conducting the shop
without first obtaining from the state
department the master barber Is license
demands. The two men were arrested
this morning and the cases will be dis
posed of in the Municipal Court this
afternoon. A general cleaning up of
many Of the barber shops is promised
as result of the visit Of the state
inspector to the city. He asserted
that most of the shops in Kenosha
were in "fair" condition.

FRANK o'BRIEN INJURED.
Former Kenosha theatre Manager Run
Down by an Automobile at Los
Angeles on Thursday.

Frank O'Brien, former owner and
manager of the Princess Theatre in
Kenosha and widely known to Keno
sha people, was severely injured on
Thursday when he was run down by an
automobile on the streets of Los An
geles, Cal. kilograms were received
this morning declaring that O'Brien
was in serious condition and was in
one of the Los Angeles hospitals.
O'Brien has been living with his
mother in the California city since he
left Kenosha. Some time ago he was
stricken with locomotor ataxia and
since than his condition had been such
as to cause great alarm among his
friends. He had been deaf for some
time and it is thought that this all
ment was one of the causes of the au-
tomobile accident on Thursday.

MAY SEEK 1918 TOURNAMENT
IF Assurance Can Be Given New Club
House Will Be Ready Local Elks Will
Have Preference Over Other Cities
In the State This Year.

The Kenosha Lodge of Elks is going
to probably have the largest represen-
tation of any city of the state at the
coming Elks state bowling tournament
which opens at Sheboygan ON January
25th Kenosha will send ninety men
count 'em--to the big state gathering
as eighteen full teams were organized
and signed up at the session Of the
Elks bowlers held at the club rooms
Sunday afternoon.
1t is the biggest delegation of bowl
ers ever sent from Kenosha to a state
meet Of the Elks and two whole days
February 18th and 18th have been set
aside for the Kenosha teams to shine
on the tournament alleys. w. H.
Robinson is to have charge Of the Ke-
nosha delegations. 1t is expected that
many of the Kenosha teams will finish
high up among the prize winners and
several very strong teams have been
organized to contest for the first money
in the five man event while all will
take part in the two man and indi-
vidual events
Kenosha will send the usual number
of teams to have part in the Good
Fellowship event. So many bowlers
are going from Kencsha that provisions
will be made to secure two special
cars to accommodate the bowlers and
it is probable that hotel accommoda-
tions will be provided on the cars.
The big problem for consideration on
Sunday was whether or not Kenosha
will ask for the 1918 Elks bowling
tournament. That the city can have it
if it is ready to entertain, is declared
by Elks from all over the state. The
1917 tournament was to have been held
in Kenosha, but three months ago when
the plans for the new club house were
completed the members Of the order
decided to surrender the tournament
for this year. with the understanding
that the Elks bowlers would come to
Kenosha just as soon as the new club
house was ready to be opened for their
entertainment. The building commit
tee now believes that the new club
house which viii have a full compel
ment of bowling alleys will be ready
for dedication by the last Of December
in this year. It will be playing little
close for the bowlers, but at that Ke-
nosha may ask for the 1913 meet.
Several other cities are ready to take
the meet, but they are also ready to
defer their claims until later if it is
found that Kenosha wants it. It is
just possible that an Elks band will
accompany the bowlers to Sheboygan
and it is certain that the famous Elks
quarette will be right on the job.

LEFT NOTE TO RELATIVES
Despondent Man Had Attended Church
Service on Sunday Morning But Had
Been Despondsnt for Some Time

In fit Of dependency, John Ru
kowski, 20 years Of age, a Pole, com
mitted suicide at the home of his sis
ter, Mrs. Joseph LopaWski, 622 Racine
avenue, Just after noon on Sunday.
The body Of the man was found in
his bedroom when his sister and par
ty Of friends entered the house just
after three clock in the afternoon
Blood had flowed freely from two
wounds in the side of the man S head
and the condition Of the body indicat.
ed that he had been dead for at least
two hours. Rukowski had evidently
sat on chair and pushed the revolver
| close to his temple. He had pulled the
trigger three times. The first tive
sshots entered his brain and evidently
death was upon him when he pulled
the trigger the third time as the car.
fridge did not explode. The half emp
tied thirty -two cahbre hammerless re.
volver was found lying on the floor q
few inches from the body.
It had evidently been great effort
for Rukowski to write the note:
Dear sister and brother -in-law:' it
read. II beg you for God S sake not
to be doWncast ON account of my sui
eide because I could not bear to live
any more,@that's why I did it. =
The note was unsigned.
Rukowski had been d resident OF
/ Kenosha for some time and had been
employed at the plant of the Nash
Motors Company. He was a quiet and
unassuming young fellow. He had
spent much of his time at his sister 4
home and was not given to drinking
or carousing.
On Sunday morning he appeared to
be somewhat Respondent but he had
shown signs of dependency for some
time and the members of the family
thought that he would recover during
the day He left the house, declaring
that he was going to church. He at
tended services at the Polish Catholic
church and did not leave the church
until after the noon hour. His conduct
at church had not been such as to at.
tract any special attention. When he
returned to the Louise on Racine ave
nue., his sister and other members OF
the family had gone out for a social
visit with friends. 1t is thought that
he at once wrote the note and killed
himself.
The remains We're removed to the
Hansen morgue. Coroner Millager was
called to investigate the case and it is
improbable that an inqaest will be
held. The unfortunate man was I'm.

and placed in fills. This is the earth
contained in canal SO feet wide On
the bottom, 10 feet wide on top and
TO feet deep, with a length of 8S miles,
being more than the distance from
Milwaukee, to Madison. The difficulties
in moving this earth, however, were
much greater than would be the diff

much as this earth was moved in per-
forming 6,327 separate road jobs and
with small grading tools such az

GET TRAIL OF BOY RoBBER.
Ashes of Camp Maintained by Robert
Livingston are Discovered Out
Near Gray's Lake.

The search of Robert Livingston, the
sixteen year old farm hand, who cleaned
out the kitchen of the McKeon farm in
Pleasant Prairie and borrowed horse
and wagon to haul the booty away. was
resumed this morning when Sheriff
Hermann sent two deputies TO Gray 3
Lake in Lake county to search for the
youthful robber. Last night men
about Gray s Lake found a camr which
had evidently been used by Livingston.
About the pile Of ashes, the relic Of the
fire by which some enc had cooked his
supper was found several pieces cf the
silverware taken from the McKeon
home. II is thought that young Liv,
ingston is concealing himself in The
woods somewhere near Grav's Lake.
This is the second clew that has been
received from this district and the Ke-
nosha deputies are going to make a
vigorous search this time and hone to
bring Livingston back this evening.

at the village of Silverlake was entered
by burglars just after nine clock Sat
urday night and after foraging about in
the office for some time the men left
taking nothing but pair of gloves for
considerable strenuous work. Entrance
to the office was made through one of
the windows and it is thought that a
freight train was standing at the sta
tion when the men hrkke IN. They
went right to the ticket eases and
broke them open and forced the cash
drawer. There was no. money in the
drawer and eSiaently the men wanted
cash and not tickets as none of the

HOLD COMMUNITY INSTITUTE.
Kenosha One of the Thirteen Munich
palities Included in the Program
of the State RIlreau


Thirteen community institutes will
be conducted in various parts of Wis
censin this winter by the department
of civic, commercial, and community
development of the University of Wis
eonsin. Fond du Lac and Alma held
institutes during the past month, and
Oshkosh held a bankers institute,
somewhat similar to other community
meets
The cities that will hold institutes
later are Washburn On January IL and
IL, Eau Claire on January Is and IL,
Elroy on January 20 and "a, Rice Lake
on January 81 and February /, Beaver
Dam on February z, and 8. and Ran
dolph on February Ia and Is.
Horizon will conduct an institute on
March ], and 8, and Kenosha on
March Z and s. Portage, Lancaster,
and Marinette have not made definite
arrangements yet, but will probably
hold institutes late in March or early
in April.
No Institutes will be conducted in
any city on February 20, p, and %,
because of the Commercial and Indus
trial Congress to be held at Madison
on those days.
About twelve community institutes
were conducted by the extension divi-
sion last year, and several of the cities
which held them last year are holding
them again this year. Several civic
improvements, such as water works
systems and garbage disposal systems,
resulted from former community insti-
tuteS.
Lectures, moving pictures, round
table discussions, and social gatherings
characterize the programs at these
meets. Women s interests are always
attended to by Special lecturers to talk
to them.
