Mrs. Eunice Frost Wilson and Alex
Wilson which was celebrated at st.
Joe, Mich, on October 25, 1908. The

CITY CASE STARTS
In CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Belden Hears Argument on De-
inurrer to Answer of City in
Filtration Company Suit.

The suit Of the New York Continen-
tai Filtration Company against the
city of Kenoshs to collect $14,202, al
legged to be due on the contract for the
new filtration plant, came up in the
Circuit Court before Judge Belden this
morning when attorneys for the con-
tracing company argued a demurrer to
the answer Of the city to the complaint
of the company. The attorneys for the
company hold that under the contract
the company may not be held liable for
unpaid claims against the sub contrac-
tor. Briefs will be submitted and
Judge Belden will hand down a deci-
sion in the case later.
The suit of the Concordia Insurance
Company against Simmons Company to
recover $1,31s.51, which the insurance
company paid on fire loss in Keno
sha also came up for a hearing this
morning. The company claims that
the fire protection Of the city had been
greatly reduced ON account of the fact
that the defendant company Is contrac-
tors had driven a pile through the in
take of the Kenosha water plant and
that during such reduced fire protec-
tion building which the company
had insured was destroyed. The at
torneys for the compsny demurred
to the complaint on the ground
that it did not state cause for ac-
ton. The court took the matter
under advisement.
This Afternoon the hearing Of Grim
inal cases was taken up by the court,
the first case being that of the
state against Adolph Malinowski
charged with burglary.

UNCONSCIOUS FOR HOURS
Benumbed Fingers Refused to Pilot AT
tomobile-Had Gone to Somers to
Take Care of Quarantine and Acct
dent Occurred on Return Trip.

Dr. Herbert G. Wright, city health
commissioner, met serious injuries just
before noon on Sunday when a small
automobile in which he was driving
left the road at point three miles
west of the city ON the Grand avenue
road and turned over on it's side in
the ditch. DR.. Wright was picked out
from under the wreckage of the auto
mobile few minutes later. He was
delirious and in semi-conscious con
dition. He was hurried to the Keno
sha hospital where it was declared to-
day that he would recover. He has a
broken rib and very severe bruises
about the head and bad cut over the
nose. 1t is probable that he will be
confined to the hospital for several
weeks. DR.. Wright was not entirely
conscious when he was brought to the
hospital an hour after the accident and
even today he was unable to tell just
what happened to cause the little car
TO leave the road. 1t is his opinion
that his fingers became so numbed with
the extreme cold that he was unable
to keep the automobile under control
and that the Y heel slipped from his
hands and the car turned over.
On call from DR.. George Pugh, the
health commissioner had gone to
house on the Milwaukee Road in the
town of Somers to aid in taking care
of quarantine for scarlet fever. At
ter the work was completed DR.. Pugh
had started out ahead of DR.. Wright
and he was some distance ahead of
him when the accident took place.
DIR. Pugh knew nothing of the accident
until after DR.. Wright had been
brought to the hospital.
Just after twelve o'clocl; Sunday,
Undersheriff John Haag received a
telephone message from the Keuck
farm telling him of the accident to the
health commissioner. Haag hurried to
the scene of the accident and found
DR.. Wright wrapped in the blankets
and suffering severely. He brought
him ct once to the city and took him
to the hospital where Doctors Pugh
and Windesheim were called to attend
him. Mrs Wright was hurriedly sum-
moned as it was feared that the doctor
had suffered so from his injuries and
from exposure in the cold that he
would not survive The patient re-
gained consciousness late in the after
noon and today it was declared that
his condition showed a great improve
ment Under the orders of the physi
clans the patient was being kept very
quiet but efforts were made to find out
just how the accident occurred. DR..
Wright declared that he he'd no mem
DRY of just what happened. He de-
clared that his hands had been terribly
cold and that on account Of the numb
ness of his fingers he had soLle trouble
handling the automobile, but he had no
memory of having gone into the ditch
or of his trip to the hospital.
The automobile was not severely
damaged and it was brought into the
city late Sunday afternoon.
In the absence of Dr. Wright from
the health office the executive work Of
the board will be in charge of Doctors
G. Windesheim and G. II. Ripley who
are members of the board.
