HURT BY SHE WOLF.
Miss Lee Willetts, Georgetown, At
tackled by Vicious Animal.

GEORGETOWN, March 30.-Suffering
intensely from decorations from the
vicious attack of she wolf, Miss
Lee Willetts, popular young George
town woman, is in the hands Of ply
sicians today. Miss Willetts lives
with her mother on High Market
street, extended, and yesterday after
noon Mrs. Willetts went out to feed
the wolf, which was kept in a pen in
the back yard. The animal made a
lunge at Mrs. Willetts and the daugh-
ter, who was standing on the back
porch, knowing the viciousness of the
wolf since the death of it's mate
about two weeks ago, went to her
mothers rescue. The wolf fastened
it's fangs first in the young Woman's
thigh and as she fought him off with
her bare bands he caught her arm
and fingers, literally chewing one OF
the digits off. She grabbed the blood
thirsty wolf with her left hand and
the vicious animal again sank his
fangs deep into her arm.
Neighbor to the Rescue.
The cries of the women brought
Mr.. Ellis HARRISON, who lives next
door to the Willetts home, and he
caught the wolf by the throat, run
ming the risk of being bitten himself.
Tightening his grasp he finally threw
the animal into the pen and then
turned his attention to the badly IN
jured young woman. A physician
was summoned and the wounds dress
ed. While her injuries are painful,
it is not thought they will be fatal,
but she will be some time in recover
ing from the terrible assault.
Sent to Deceased Brother.
About a year ago Wilson Willetts,
a brother of the victim of the she
VOLTS attack, traded a pair of chick
ems for puppy to a party in Texas.
The puppy afterwards died and upon
writing the fact to the Texas fancler,
the latter sent pair of wolves, said
to be perfectly tame. The male as
it grew older seemed perfectly domes-
ticated, but the female, the worst OF
the species, seemed to resent captiyl-
ty. Wilson Willetts died about two
weeks ago and the day after his death
the male wolf expired. Since that
time the she wolf has grown notice
ably more restless and care was taken
in feeding her.
AS soon as physician was sum-
moned Mr.. Haralson, who had heroic
ally gone to the young woman's res
cue. returned to his home and secur-
ing his rife went to the pen and dis
patched the vicious brute that she
might no longer prove a menace to
those in the neighborhood..

pleteIy Destroyed by Early
Morning Blaze.

The city of Union Grove on the west
ern borders of Kenosha county, had the
second disastrous fire within year at
an early hour this morning when fire
of unknown origin completely destroyed
the electric light and power plant and
plunged the city into darkness. The
fire was discovered just after midnight
and although heroic efforts were made
to save the plant it burned to the
ground. 1t was feared that the water
tower would also be destroyed but it
was saved. The night was one of the
widest ever known in the history Of

fight against the flames. It is de-
clared that the loss on the power and
light plant viii be in the neighborhood
of $4,000 which is covered by insur-

HAD 4 Big COLLECTION
Booty Ran All the Way from Cigarettes
and Tobacco to Couple of Boxes of
Golf Balls - Case Presents Knotty
Problem for the Court.

Small boy burglary played return
past few days and late Saturday after
noon following a raid on hut on Balm
avenue members Of the police depart
ment accompanied by William Jeffrey,
Railway Company, arrested John Klop-
stein, aged Is, Walter Dufin, aged Is
and Otto Matter, aged IL years.
The three boys were in the Munich
pal Court this morning to be arraigned
on charges of burglary and their cases
presented knotty problem for the
judge Of the court. The warrants
charged burglary and the loot is al
legged to be. valued at more than sixty
dollars.
According to the story told to the
court by Detective Jeffrey, eight or
nine cars Of the company which had
been side tracked in the /" farm out
west of the city had been entered.
The seals to the cars had been broken
and cases containing miscellaneous
merchandise had been broken open and
part of this merchandise taken. It
is claimed that the first thefts from
the cars were discovered about week
ago and the railway detectives who
worked on the case finally traced the
stuff to the hut on Balm avenue. In
the list Of stuff recovered was lot Of
automobile accessories, boxes of snuff,
cigarettes, many boxes of them, tobac-
co in smaller amounts, packages of
seed, and golf balls to the value Of
$11.20.
The boys admitted that they had
taken the stuff from the cars and in
stead of being held in Jail they were
placed in the custody of their parents
pending the court hearing. They as
serted vigorously that they had not
been responsible for robbery Of cars at
other times. Most of the booty alleged
to have been taken from the cars was
recovered. The boys are all decidedly
small for court hearings, but the rail
way company is insisting that some
action be taken to put an end to the
robbery of the cars in this and other
cities along the line It is declared
that the company has lost thousands
of dollars as result of petty robber-
les of cars. The police also have in
mind the disbanding of the boys who
have gathered at the hut on Balm ave-
nue. and if possible the hut will be put
out of commission.
After hearing considerable evidence
in the cases, Judge Randall parolled
the three boys to their parents until
the first Of March at which time the
cases will again be taken up.

JUDGE GIVES high PRAISE
Says Team He Heard Is Finest High
School Debater He Ever Listened
to - Boys Yell Themselves
Hoarse over the Victory.

1t was thrilling time last night at
the high school when the students and
parents who filled the assembly room
got the decision in favor of
the local team which had debated
with Waukesha s High school team on
" Resolved: That state boards of arbi-
tration with compulsory powers should
be established to settle interstate dis.
putes between employees and employ
ers."
The concourse of students cheeret.
madly, they threw up their hats and
they insisted on speeches from the de-
baters and from the principal, G. n.
Tremper, from H. o. Whitbeck, presi-
dent of the school board, from their
best rooters, from the judges and every
one else they thought they had chance
Of getting to talk.
But this excitement was as nothing
to that which prevailed when from Ra-
cine came the news by telephone that
the Kenosha team had wrested honors
from the Belle City Itself winner last
year,
This makes Kenosha doubly winner
and assures it of place in the second
triangle debate which takes place the
second Friday of March and the winner
of which is eligible to entrance in the
state contest when the state champion
will be named, probably along in April,
although the date has not been decided
definitely.
The team which won for Kenosha
high school in Kenosha was made up of
Vernon Kraft, Helen Duncan and Wal
ter Henschen. The winners at Racine
were: Durham Martin, Arthur Heyman
and William Purnell.
The judges chosen were well qualified
for the work, and were Miss Genevieve
Loft, University of Wisconsin; Fl. B.
Kingsley, member of the faculty of the
West Division High School of Milwau-
kee; r. E. Pattison Kline, member of
the faculty of the Columbia College of
Expression, Chicago.
The excellence of the Kenosha debat-
ers in comparison with that of their
opponents was commented upon by those
who attended the lecture. Most Of the
audience conceded victory to Kenosha
almost as soon as the team had begun
its debate.
In speaking Of the contest afterward,
Mr.. Kline of Chicago, one of the judges,
said he did not exaggerate when he stat
ed that this was the best rounded up,
the best prepared and the best present
ed of any high school debate he had
ever heard, and he paid more tributes
even than this to the excellence of the
young Kenosha men who had won their
laurels in the debate he had listened to.

SEEK GERMAN sYMPATHIzERs
Federal officials Securing Wisconsin
and May Work in Kenosha and
Racine Within a Week


German residents in the United
States, who are suspected of harboring
hostile feelings for this government,
are being catalogued by government
secret service men, according to dis
patches received here from Chicago
The work is being done by agents of
Captain Thomas I. Porter, Hinton G..
Clabaugh and Peter G. Drautzberg,
government operatives who have their
offices in Chicago. The work has ex-
tended all through the Chicago dis
trict, particularly in the large cities,
such as Chicago, Milwaukee, Indiana
polls, Gary, etc. Although there has
been no definite information to that
effect, Racine and Kenosha are said to
be included in the cataloguing. Both
these cities are within Captain Por-
ter's district. The local police depart
ment stated today, however, that no
secret service men had presented them
selves at the station. Chief o Hare
said that if such cataloguing was 60
ing on here, he knew nothing about it.
AS a result of the cataloguing, it is
said that there are hundreds of Ger
mans in the Chicago district who are
under suspicion. A copy of the cat
alogue will be sent to Washington, and
all the men whose names are mention
ed therein will be kept under constant
surveillance. Tt is probable that the
government, in keeping with its policy
throughout the country, will secure
figures regarding what Kenosha fac
tories could turn out in the way of
clothing, shoes, auto trucks, ETC., in
the event of war.
