TOO MANY MARBLES -
LEADS TO JAIL
Kenosha Youngster Surprises Merchant
by Purchasing Too Many
Marbles on Monday.

He was little shaver hardly tall
enough to reach the top of the lower
counter, but he wanted to buy a whole
dollars worth of marbles. More
than that, he had the dollar and
several more besides and thereby hangs
the tale.
It happened Monday afternoon when
Hans-that's not his real name because
he is too small to be bad enough to get
into print for it-aged nine, together
with a playmate entered Wisconsin
street store and started to buy mar
bles. He bought 'smegsn and tpee-
wees' and kept on buying till he had
more than dollar g worth.
This bothered the merchant, for he
wondered where the boy got the money
he was spending. 1t took five minutes
but he finally tod the story. He had
stolen it the afternoon before-$11.0O
in all-and he was having real boy s
time on the loot.
The nine year old was taken to the
police station where he repeated his
story. he was not enEfeiY unknown
to the police and they kept him in Jail
over night. This morning he penitently
begged the judge not to send him away
and Judge Tully was lenient and gave
him another chance.
The boy had an alibi. He was brought
to this country from Germany only FIVE
years ago and two years later his
mother died leaving him with his step
father. He has grandparents in Ger
many who wish to have him sent back
there and it is possible that this viii
be done later

From Auster Home Found in
Bottom of a Trunk.

There was tempest in teapot at
the police office on Tuesday afternoon

Jail on bonds on Tuesday after being
held for the murder of her husband,
Harry Auster, demanded that the police
department make efforts to locate mort
cages which were alleged to have been
taken from the Auster home following
the arrest of Mrs. Auster. At roll call
every police sfficer was ordered to make
an effort to get some trace of the mort
cages but half hour later word was
received that the mortgages had been
found in the bottom Of a trunk at the
Auster home. The amount Of the mort
cages was not made public in the de-
mand made on the police.

vorce from her husband, Chester G.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1919.

If Kenosha is ever going to have a
real down town district adequate sewer
provisions must be made to take care
Of the business houses on Main street.
Before anything ia done to that street
the city should see to it that it has a
real sewer laid deep enough to accom-
modate the buildings of the future.
Way back in the seventies there may
have been cause for mistakes. There
is no cause or such mistakes to be
repeated.

Russia, like very one else, wants to
shift it's burden on the entente nations
and like the rest of them, she wants
to saw how the shift should be made.
The only way to deal with Russia is to
insist on the unconditional surrender Of
Lenine and the rest Of his gang. If
this surrender can not be secured with
out the use of. armed forces, let the ma
lions Of Europe provide that force and
bring Americans out of the bolsheviki
infested regions.

Director Hines appears to be as
much at sea as the President as to
how the unscrambling of the railways
can be brought about. He thinks that
five years is little enough time to
think the solution out. 1t is an i'm
portant matter all righr but as we re-
call the governments decided in about
twenty minutes to take them over.
Five years seems like o long time in
which to find out how to get them back
TO the owners.

BROKE INTO STATION
SAILORS ARE FINED
Two Enlisted Men Who Entered West
Side Station to Sleep Pay Fines
in Court This Morning.


in Court This Morning.
Joseph Blessing and J. P. Sehmitt,
two enlisted men from the United
States Naval Training Station at
Great Lakes were arraigned before
Judge Tully in the Municipal Court
this morning charged with disorder
ly conduct. The men admitted that
they had broken into the West Side
station of the Chicago, North Shore
and Milwaukee Electric line carly Tues
day morning. They declared that they
were cold and wanted a place to sleep
and had no idea of burglarizing the
place. The Judge imposed fine of two
dollars and the costs of each case. AS
both of the boys had violated their
shore leave it is certain that they
viii have plenty of punishment com
ing when they get back to the Naval
Training Station.

And it is going to be mighty hard
to convince a lot of people that the
gentlemen from Minneapolis did not
slip it overo the Board of Education.
The price that the men placed on the
school building will not be considered
by most people. Those people are just
old fashioned enough to believe that
cities, like individuals had some powers
to enforce contracts and bids for them.

Men who want to maintain cellar doors
and clap traps in the sidewalk, should
make no objections to filing a bond

ed on account of the negligence Of the
property owners.

tt is to be hoped that the need of
a hotel in Kenosha will be made acute
enough to cause some one to loosen
up and build worth while one. Of
course it will probably be necessary to
get outside capital. We don t care
where the capital comes from so long
as the city gets the hotel and gets it
in the shortest possible time.

to the transportation committee.

The fact that only a hundred and
fifty men were found guilty Of desertion
in Wisconsin is no recommendation for
socialist propaganda. It is understood
that these fellows tried hard enough to
discourage army service. The fact that
they only reached hundred and fifty
people is a compliment to the patriotism
of Wisconsin young men rather than
recommendation of socialistic teachings.

BAPTIsTs RAISE BIG FUND.
More Than $4,000 Raised for Fur
ther improvements on Church
Building.

Several weeks ago, Rev. w. c. Al
lien told the Sunday morning c6ngre-
CATION that he was working on plans
for church improvement and that he
would present on the following Sun
day morning his plans for remodeling
the interior and exterior of the church
building, improving the grounds; etc.
He asked for all the members to be
present and the church was pretty
well filled when the morning service
opened.
Mr. Allen outlined his plans for inn
proving the church property, and af-
ter stating the approximate cost OF
making the improvements, asked If
the church was ready and willing to
undertake the work. The response
was prompt and generous, several OF
the members stating that they would
give from $500 to $1,000. Commit
tees were appointed to solicit contri-
buttons and report back to the church
last Sunday. The report of the COM
mittees showed something oyer
$4,000. 90. The contributions are not
in the form of pledges. They are ac-
tual cash and the money is on de-
posit. in the local banks.
The, Baptists have just completed
an addition to the church building at
a cost of about $500.
The plans outlined by Mr.. Allen
and approved by the church members
will be turned over to an architect
and the work will be put under way
as soon as possible. When the i'm
|provements are completed the Bap-
fists will have one of the most COM
Portable and attractive churches in
the county.
