TERRIBLE CROSSING AccIDENr.
North Western Train Hit Street Car
al MenOminee Last Friday.


Two are dead and score injured
as result of very bad crossing ac-
cIdent at Menominee last week Fri
day night. Among the injured Is Gro
yer G. Mitchell, son of Mrs. Stacy OF
this city, fireman on the engine.
The train was the regular Ashland
train that runs from Ashland through
Iron River, Stager and Powers TO
Marinette and which carries passen-
gers from this section as far as Pow
ers where tile most OF them transfer
70 the copper country train that
comes along a short time after the
Ashland train.
IL seems that the fuse in the head
light blew out at Powers and that n
common white lantern had been sub
stituted. The motor man claims that
he stopped his car and went 10 tho
track. as is the rule.
Seeing no train approaching he at
tempted TO cross and when the car
was in the middle OF the track Il was
hit by the oncoming train.
Two women were killed outright.
one, Rose Marie Henes, and Mrs.
Laura Rasor child OF Mrs. Rasor
was very severely injured and IL
was thought that death would result.
Twelve persons were injured, includ-
ing the Rasor boy
The engine was thrown from tho
track as were the baggage and ex-
press cars and it is a miracle that
more were not killed, so serious was
the collision.
Grover Mitchell, the fireman, who
lives in this city, in speaking OF the
wreck, said he has been I'm the EN-
ploy of the road for six years. lie Is
20 years old and single. His head Il
bandaged, and in severe pain from
the severe bruises he received. To
walked about the halls Of the hosplt.
al the next morning. In relating the
story OF the wreck, he said that when
the train collided with the street car.
that not a word was spoken between
he and the engineer but that an
eternity seemed 70 pass as he clung
10 his seat while the engine rolled
down the embankment and flames

luickly as possible, and called 10

nee of last night was one that Nit
hell says he will never forget 10 hll

John Hoye Appeals
To President Wilson
Young Bridegroom Does Not Want to
Spend Honeymoon at an Army
Cantonment Camp.

The first appeal of a Kenosha man
to the President of the United States
for exemption from military service, is
being completed today by John Hoye
of Pomeroy street. Hoye was regis
tered as a resident of the town of
Bristol and drawn for service by the
county exen ption board. Just before
the draft was made Hoye was married.
He passed the physical examinations
and the county exemption board de-
clined to allow claim for exemption
on the ground that he was "married
man." Hoye prosecuted the appeal
before the district board in Racine but
this board approved the action of the
lower board and certified Hoye for
service. He is due to go with the
county quota to Battle Creek. This
morning he formally appealed to the
board for a blank on which to perfect
his appeal to the President. His bride
of a few weeks joins him in the ap-
peal. He claims exemption on the
ground that his wife is dependent
upon him for support.

German Enlists
To Fight Kaiserdon1
Ernst Eisinger Who Can't Speak Any
English Wants to Take
Whack at Germany Now.

Kenosha found one of the right kind
of Germans on Friday evening when
Ernst Eisinger, a native of Germany and
not able to speak a word of English,
appealed to the postmaster to find a
place for him in the United States
army. He insisted that he wanted to
fight the Kaiser and Kaiserdom and
that he knew exactly what he was do
ing. He declared that the victory of
democracy was lot more important
than the Kaiser holding his job and
he went right up to Milwaukee to be
enlisted in the regular army of the
United States. Eisinger had taken out
his first papers and it is thought that he
will be accepted for service in the army.
At the same time Camilla Petrara, an
italian, came in with first papers and
asked that he be sent to the nearest
army camp. He went with Eisinger
to Milwaukee. Recruiting officers all
over the country are opening their
doors to volunteers for the army
and many men are enlisting through
the volunteer route.

PATRIOTISM IS The KEY WORD
Members of Organizations Allied with

Provide Big Dinner for Veterans
Memories of War are Recalled.
From SATURDAYS Dailvl


Veterans of Racine and Kenosha
county who fought in the War of the
Rebellion recalled the battles of '61 10
'65 today when more than q hundred
of them gathered at Central Park fol-
the annual sessions of the Racine-Keno.
she County Veterans Association. The
fact that the weather was little
threatening this morning did not In
any way interfere with a large crowd
coming from both of the cities. The
veterans were not alone for many of
the ladies belonging to the organiza
tions allied with the Grand Army went
out to all in making the picEie a sue
cess. Commander G. F. Stemm and
Charles E. Likes, past commander of

of the arrangements for the day and
every provision had been made to make
the day one to be long remembered
among the veterans. A large crowd
had gathered before ten O'Clock this
morning when the annual business
meeting was held and by noon more
than three hundred people were on
hand. The morning was spent in pleas
ant "reminiscences of the days of Civil
War with rapid fire addresses by prom
inent men of the two counties who had
part in the great struggle. The big
dinner which was served at noon was
one Of the features Of the day. The
members of the allied organizations
had made every possible provision to
meet the demands of the appetites of
the old soldiers and they CAM with
baskets well filed. The "mess" was
dinner fit for king and it recalled
no memories Of the dinners which had
been served to the boys who fought on
the battle fields of the south.
After dinner was over the veterans
and their friends gathered at the pa
vi1ion at the park and a program of
patriotic music and addresses was car
ried out. The program was as follows:
Prayer by the chaplain, Theodore
Boyington, Kenosha; song by the quar-
tette selected by Kenosha; address OF
welcome by the president, Q. f. Stemm;
