George Wilson, charged with assault
ing Anton Bredek, in manner evinc-
ing depraved mind and without regard
for human life was arraigned in the Mu-
nicipal Court late Tuesday afternoon.
Wilson was arrested by Chief O'Hare
and when his attorney, r. v Baker,
sought an imr@diate hearing in order
that bond might be arranged Judge
Taylor, sitting in the Municipal Court,
declared that he was agreeable to grant
ing it. Wilson had been locked up and
when the attorneys started to arrange
for a hearing it was found that the
chief Of police who had the warrant for
the arrest of Wilson in his pocket, could
not be located. He was found about 5
0 clock when he came to the court in
company with the district attorney.
Judge Taylor had gone home but by
stipulation of the attorneys Wilson
was admitted to bonds in the sum Of
$2,0oC and the hearing of the case was
continued until June Z. Wilson was
not required to plead to the informa-
ton filed by the district attorney and
a plea of "Not guilty. was entered
for lin. He promptly furnished bond
and was discharged from custody two
hours after his arrest. While Wilson
was waiting for a hearing and his at
torrcys were seeking to have him adj
m)ae6 to bond District Attorney Fish
er sne Chief Of Police O'Hare were
husv seeking and examining the other
men who were passengers in the car on
last Wednesday evening The men
were sought out in different parts Of
the city and taken to the office Of the
district attorney. 1t is declared that
every one of them declared that he
knew nothing of the injury Of Bredek
and insisted that the car in which they
were riding had struck no one on the
road
The preliminary skirmish in the case
is dated to come up on next Tuesday
when Wilson is to be arraigned of reck-
less driving. Tt is known that the state
will summon all the men as witnesses
in this case and it is expected that a
lot Of facts pertinent in the later exam
mation will be brought out at this time.
Wilson and his friends show some in
dignation over his arrest, but this fact
did not seem to bother the police and
the District Attorney in the least.
While the condition of Bredek, the
victim of the accident, is still very Sc
rious it is thought probable that he
will be in court for the adjourned hear
ing on June T.

Years Old, Died at Her Home

A family circle, intact fo- more than
fifty years, was broken about six
o'clock this morning, when the stern
hand of death called Miss Mary
McNulty, of Park street. Many weeks
ago the deceased suffered severe fall
and this coupled with her age was the
cause Of her death. Mary McNulty
was born in County Donegal, ireland,
in 1880. In 1854 in company with her
brother, John McNulty, who has been
her lifelong companion, she came to
America and settled first in Lake
County, illinois. In 1865, she and her
brother came to Kenosha where for
more than fifty years they made their
home on Wisconsin street. Both the
brother and a younger sister, Bridget
McNulty, survive the deceased. No
arrangements have been definitely made
in regard to the funeral, but it will
probably occur on Friday morning at
st. James Church The relatives have
requested that the many friends of

the folks at home He enlisted in the
Coast Artillery year ago the first
part of January and since that time
he had been in the active service of
the army. He had seen a lot of service
on the eastern sea board and when the
need of proper protection of the Pam
anna Canal was emphasized he was
selected as one of the trained gunners
to be sent south. He had been proud
of the distinction conferred upon him
by the government.
AS soon as the stricken relatives
received the cable telling of his death
they cabled the commanding officer at
Colon asking that they be supplied with
details of the drowning but they have
as yet received no reply. They ord

Gross was born and raised in the
town of Somers and he was widely
known to the younger men of that
town and of Kenosha. He had shown
great patriotic fervor as young man
and when the first call was sent out
for the enlistment of men for the army
he hurried to Milwaukee and enlisted
and after short preliminary training
he was ordered to the Coast Artillery.
He was never married but his death
is mourned by his parents and brothers
and sisters. Announcement of the

Women Conductors on
North Shore Electric
Shortage of Men is Forcing West side
Company to Employ Women to
Gather up the Fares.
Fare, if You please! :,

!" Fare, if you pleasel'
The word '9ifo in this request de-
notes that it was put by one of the
gentler sex, because conductors on the
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee
Electric don t say eff you please.
Yesterday, it developed, that traffic
on the electric line between Evanston
and Milwaukee was greatly impaired
by lack Of men, The company
had the cars to operate, but it didn It
have the men to man them. The fault
was not the company Sits war time
and help is scarce.
Today it became known that the Off
cials of the company were planning to
employ women as conductors, and many
men now serving as nickel snatchers
will be put on the front end of the
trains.
Whats the use of taking about
running ears into Chicago nowg Why,
we cannot get enough help to operate
our cars now, said an employee Of the
street car company.
In New York City women are pulling
the bell cords on the electric cars and
it is only a question of few weeks
before they will be doing the same
work in Waukegan.
Many employees Of the electric line
are considering resigning their posi-
tions for they have been assured a
salary ranging from $500 to $500 a
month for service in France
Tt is estimated that the Electric Com
pany could procure so women in Wau-
kegan who would work as conductors
for the days pay amounts to consider
ably over $500.
1t is not expected that the North
Western or any of the steam lines will
employ women as conductors.

Rome, May %. The smashing
offensive of Italians on thirty
five-mile front between Tolmino
and the Adriatic Sea will resolve
itself into decisive battle, accord
ing to the view expressed by mill
tary experts today.
Italians are battling for two
detectives, the first and most i'm
portant of which is Trieste. The
second is Laibach, and if they are
able to occupy this city they will
be only 160 miles from Vienna.
Practically the entire Italian ar
my is massed upon the Julian
front, where fierce fight is in
progress. It is estimated that the
Italians have nearly 100000 men
in action on this front.
The counter drive of the Austro-
Hungarians on the Trentino front
is being carried out with extreme
vigor, but without any decisive re-
suits.

playing patriotic airs and thousands VI
Kenoshans were stepping off to the mad
wild melody of war, out in the town of

served, had been shipped home that
they might be laid at rest in the fam

cable to his father on Tuesday after
noon. 1t was one Of those short, terse
messages of the government officials
giving no details. It read:
"Colon, May Y, 1871.
"A1oyius F. Gross, drowned, Gable

Only few hours before the cable
telling of the death of Gross in the SER
vice reached Kenosha the parents and
other relatives of the young man had
received long letter from him which
had been mailed at Colon on May 18th.
In this letter he told of his transfer
from the Coast Artillery to the special
service of guarding the Panama Canal
Zone. Tt was the typical soldiers let
