DWIGHT STREET GIRL STABBED, MAY DIE,
 ASSAILANT CAUGHT
(Continued from First Page)

at the handcuffs that restrained him and he perspired freely.
 The knife. a homemade weapon, sharpened on both edges and ground down to fine point and fitted with wooden handle, was found by one ot the young men who gave chase for the Would-be murderer. There was only slight trace of blood on the rusty blade. It seemed as if Wawzyk must have wiped the blood off on his clothes.
 That's my knife," said Wawzyk when shown it.
 The police officials, Chief Rawlings and Detective Sergeant Richardson, put Wawzyk through a cross exam lnation in the detective bureau.
 | stabbed her" finally admitted Wawzyk The efforts to procure a motive for the assault were in vain. Wawzyk said he did not know the girl and he did not know whether he had ever seen her before. He talked in a rambling way about the draft and having to go into the army and ne mentioned his sister but he appeared much confused.
 The theory has been advanced that WaWzyk became suddenly insane, owing to the excessive heat of the day
 Despite the fact that the assault was committed shortly after 1 o'clock, when the streets were fairly we'll crowded with people, there were few who saw the actual assault. H. White, chauffeur who drives one of the Wise & Smith delivery wagons in the city, saw the blow struck by Wawzyk. His eyes were on Wawzyk because Waw- zky crossed within two or three inches of his auto and narrowly escaped be- ing killed. White is not sure whether he had knife in his hand when he passed in front of his auto. He saw WaWzky make the lunge with the knife and saw the girl fall.
 Many passed along the street during the excitement incident to the assault and went along when they were told that the young woman had tainted, owing to the heat. Most of the peO- pie had that impression and it was not until the blood stain appeared on Miss Casey's white dress that they realized that an assault had been committed. Even Miss Casey did not realize for a minute or two what had happened.
 Wawzyk has been employed of late at the Landers, Frary & Clark branch factory where the state trade school was formerly located. He told Police Captain Thomas W. Grace that he has not been well of late. but he has not been to see a doctor. After his arrest he wanted to know where he obtained the ring which he tried to bite. Captain Grace received the statements of H. White and others who saw WaWzyk.
 The accused will probably be brought into court tomorrow morning on the charge of assault With intent to kill and the case will be adjourned owing to the inability Of Miss Casey to be present.
 This afternoon pr. Bodley, assisted by other surgeons, operated on Miss Casey to ascertain the full extent of her wound.

JUDGE KIRKHAM HAS
 GOOD FISH STORIES
Has Photographs of Men Riding On Backs of Fishes and Gets One 19 Feet Long

Feet Long.
 There is no law against fish stories, although there are numerous fish regulations. Judge John H. Kirkham returnes from his annual vacation, spent this summer at Nantucket and, unlike many fish story tellers, can back up his with photographs.
 Recently, for the first time in 40 years, 8 school of black fsh--some- times called COW fish, appeared off Nantucket. The fish took the noton to come ashore and the summer col ony was surprised to find 40 of them foundering about. Last Saturday near ly 100 came so close in shore that they could not get out. Here's where the stories begin.
 Some of the summer colony, among them Judge Kirkham decided to go fishing. At this point let it be known that black fish weigh upwards of g., 900 pounds being of the whale family and measure in length upwards of 15 feet. That is according to Judge Kirk hams ruling. The judge made a catch. He got a rope and tied 1t around the tail of said black fish and hauled it ashore. He did not put any salt on the fish's tale, believing that the salt in the water was sufficient. It was, Ask the judge. His catch measured 9 feet in length.
 A few of the daring summer visitors went into the water and scrambled onto the backs of stranded fish and had the unique experience of a fish back ride. Photographs submitted are marked Exhibit A.
 The police court reporters, sitting as a Jury in the case, found for the plain tl1t-he was not complaining though It was hot day to report back for duty and made a mistake in coming to court, where Judge Meskill was sit ting, through a misunderstanding

MAN "MOST DEAD"
JUST "WELL LICKED

"Send the ambulance right over to
the Lemon Street crossing, man has
been terribly hurt but his life may
be saved" was the order that came
into the police office at nine O'Clock
Monday night. The ambulance went
just touching the corners as it turned
them and when the Lemon Street eros
sing was reached John Morris was
found lying on the ground by the track.
He looked like he had been killed but
an investigation showed that he had
not been struck by train but he had
been struck by fist and hit awful
hard. He had both eyes closed and
his nose was twisted out of shape. He
was not even in condition to say You
ought to see the other fellow The
police did not take Morris to the Hos
pital but to Jail and this morning he
was in court to plead guilty to a charge
of disturbance. He said the fellow who
landed on him came from Waukegan
with him and that he would attend to
him after his wounds healed It will
be several days before the fellow will
be in any danger.

DOWN POUR OF RAIN
ROUTS PHONE SERVICE
Down Town Gable Gets Water Soaked
and People Have Lots of Trou-
BILE Early This Morning.

The down pour of rain on Monday
evening brought lot of trouble for
the local exchange of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company. One of the down
town cable ducts was filed with sur
face water and in the early part of the
day more than hundred and fifty
phones in the down town district were
out Of commission and the trouble halt
ed business for several hours.
Fortunately the trouble was discov-
cred before the regular working day
began and the company had big force
of men at work cleaning things up so
that by ten O'Clock most of the
trouble had been taken care of.
Some phones were still out of commits
sion this afternoon.
The fall of rain on Monday night
was unusually heavy and persistent and
reports of sewers backing up were re
eeived from several parts of the city
and the west side flats were hard hit
as usual. 1T is declared that the
floods of water did no permanent dam
age to property.

its coal through the County Fuel AID
ministrator as it is held that it would
be practically impossible at this late
date for the city to hook up with any
of the big distributing agencies for
the coming season.
Just how deep the city will go into
coal is to be determined by the com
mittee and the council. It is expected
however that something like $4,000
tons viii be handled this season if it
can be secured. The proposed city
coal yard viii have this capacity
Alderman Sullivan Of the first ward
was the only member of the council
opposing the coal yard scheme. He
declared that he was in favor of a
coal pile - to try out the plan during
the first season.
It is probable that the council will
seek to employ some man with large ex-
perience in the coal business to handle
the city yard and that this man will
be placed on the job in time to have
an active part in buying the coal for
the coming season.
The working out of the experiment
is to be watched with a great deal of
interest.

ARRIVE COVER THERE
Messages Announce the Safe Arrival
Overseas of Lieut.. Alexander
and His "AnimaI Train

Messages received in Kenosha this
morning announce the safe arrival over
seas Of Lieutenant J. D. Alexander of
the 120th Supply Train together with
his men and his horses Lieutenant
Alexander was second lieutenant of
Troop E of the Kenosha Cavalry and
he was later assigned to Battery E Of
the Field Artillery. Still later he was
selected for the FFanimal train and
since that time he has had charge of
the horses belonging to the men in
Troop E. With him were some twenty
Kenosha soldiers who were formerly
in the cavalry troop. These men have
been waiting at the sea board for a
long time for transportation to France
and friends and relatives in Kenosha
have bee very anxious as to their
whereabouts since they left the port
of embarkment. The card announcing
the safe arrival of the members of the
troop overseas will bring relief in a
lot of Kenosha homes. OF course no
announcement is made as to where
Lieutenant Alexander and his men have
landed but they are probably in Eng
land waiting for further orders to 90
to the battle front in France

MERRY GAMBLERS
ELUDE SHERIFF
-Four Go Through the Windows but
Sheriff Gets One and He is Fined
on Charge of esDistur bance.''

Sheriff Hermann was called to a
west side boarding house on Monday
night to break up gambling game !"
AS the sheriff entered the front door
there was scattering of the men.
They went through rear doors and win
dows and most of the men who had
been shutting the cards and anteing
the chips managed to escape.
The best information that the sheriff
received indicated that there were five
men in the game, but all of them escap-
ed except one. He was taken to Jail
and spent the night in cell. This
morning the sheriff refused to have him
bear the burden of the whole game
and he was arraigned on charge of
s. disturbance. He appeared to be
tickled to pay the fine.
Many complaints of gambling games
in boarding houses are reaching the
officers and the sheriff and the police
department. is determined to break up
the gambling fever.

COMPETE With LOCAL YARDS
No Formal Action Taken to Buy Coal
But This Will Probably Be Taken Up
at Next Regular Meeting Cost
to Equip Placed at $4,000.

The City of Kenosha is going into
the coal business. The movement was
launched at the meeting of the common
council on Monday evening when the
aldermen by vote of 16 to decided
on the purchase of the property of the
Mangan estate, located on Fremont
Avenue between Elizabeth and Strong
Street at cost of $12.650. The pro
perty has a frontage of 253 feet on
Fremont Avenue. The report of the
committee on which the purchase was
made recommended that the city pro-
coed at once to install switch tracks
to this property and to build a con
crete platform on which the coal is to
be dumped. The cost of the track is
estimated at $4,000 and the cost of
building the concrete platform is placed
at the same figure. This will mean
an initial expense of $18,650 to pre-
pare the property for the reception of
the first car load of COAL
No appropriation has been made by
the city for this purpose further than
an appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of coal. The money is to be
taken from some of the other funds
Of the city.
1t is understood that the city is to
dive right into the coal business and
become an active competitor to the old
time coal yards of the city and that
to this end it will handle all kinds
of coal and coke. No formal arrange
ments were made by the council for
the securing of the supply of coal for
the yards but it is supposed that this
matter will be up to the committee
in charge of the coal yard headed by
alderman Meyer.
Coal dealers in the city have been
watching with great deal of interest
the possibly action of the city in re-
gard to the coal yard. Some of the
dealers have openly declared that if
the city goes into the coal business
they will make no effort to place or
ders for coal this year and several of
them have been declining contracts of
old patrons on the grounds that they
want to know what the city will do
before they make any contracts.
The city will be forced to order
