WOMAN TRIES TO
KILL PARAMOUR

Attempted murder of her paramour
on Thursday by a Milwaukee woman
who loved not wisely but too we'll,
brought the fair name of Kenosha into
the imelight once more. The only
connection, however, that Kenosha had
with the story is that the woman and
her husband ran down from Milwaukee
to the Gate City, secured marriage
license, and under dispensation were
married the same day. This all took
place on September A, 1905.
On September (, 1905, the records
in the Office of the register of deeds
show that James G. Hynne and Resale
Hendrickson presented themselves at
the county clerks Office and obtained
a license to marry. He gave his occu-
patton as clerk. The young couple
then Immediately hied themselves to
the office of County Judge Russell H.
Slosson, where with two witnesses,
Violet Hendrickson and John MUTT,
they proved to the satisfaction of
Judge Slosson that there was no OBJ
lection to the marriage and he granted
dispensation to waive the five days
between the application for the license
and the granting of it and when this
was done the young couple was mar
ried, the ceremony being performed by
Judge Slosson.
Judge Evidently Not Satisfied.
While the judge was satisfied that
there was no objection to the marriage
the brides age, for ne wrote on the
margin of the marriage license, "Wife
testified she is 20 years of age" and
understood the word testified" The
account in the Milwaukee papers say
that both young people were II years
old at that time.
But this is only the beginning. About
one year ago Mrs. Hynne obtained a
divorce from her husband after becom-
ing infatuated with one Stanley Adam
ski, prominent member of the Polish
contingent in Milwaukee, who it is
claimed is the father of the youngest
of Mrs Hynne's four children. Mrs.
Hynne claims that Adamski promised
to marry her after year had elapsed
since obtaining her divorce, as pro-
vided by the laws of Wisconsin. This
year expired March 9Th and although
since that time she has often impor-
tuned her lover to marry her, he has
not done so. She appealed to the dis
trict attorney to compel her paramour
to marry her and was advised by that
official to throw him over, but she re-
fused, saying she loved him too well
for that.
Threatens Lover.
When she left the district attorneys
Office Mrs. Hynne said: eff he don't
marry me, will kill him, kill my four
children and kill myself. I will end
all Of this horrible affair." Wednesday
evening she went to Adamski's paint
. ing and decorating establishment to
attempt once more to persuade him to
marry him, then he left his shop and
walked down the street with the
woman following ana arguing with
him. He refused and she shot him
with 20 calibre revolver, which ac-
counts for the fact that he is not dead.
The woman's former husband, hear
ing Of the affair, went to the home of
his former wife and states that he will
stand by her and the children.

FOR FISHERMEN
Conservation Board Re-
jects Petition to Length
en- Bass Season.
HAS NO POWER BY LAW

Kenosha county fishermen and pro-
prietors of hotels and summer resorts
situated on the various lakes and fish
ing grounds in the county, are very
much disappointed over the ruling of
the Wisconsin state conservation board
in rejecting their petition to lengthen
the black-bass season.
The petitioners were under the i'm
preston that there was an emergency
board provided by the act which
changed the open season from May 20
to July 1, with power to regulate the
restrictions Of the law to suit differ
ent localities and resting under this
understanding some 500 persons signed
a petition to this board asking that
the open season for black-bass in Ke-
nosha county be allowed to remain as
heretofore, that is, to begin May 29th.
Conservation Board Writes.
But in answer to that petition a let
ter was received by Buckmaster and
Hammond this morning from the chair
man of the conservation committee
stating that there was no such COM
mission, and that there is no board
that can lengthen the season. The
letter further stated that the conserv-
alton commission has the authority to
shorten any season on wild life, but
none to lengthen. The letter then goes
ahead and recites that June is the
month for spawning of the bIack-bas
in Wisconsin and that the parent fish
stay close to the nests for the purpose
of protecting them and whenever any
object, hook and line and bait, or even
a stick approaches the nest the par
sent fish grabs it and tries to run away
with it and in this way thousands of
game fish are destroyed. That the
people of the (northern part of the)
state had been trying for years to get
this law enacted and had never been
successful until last winter, and now
they have the law, it was going to be
enforced
Kenosha Peoples Claim.
With all due respect to the conserv-
alton board, Kenosha fishermen and
hotel proprietors say that the black
bass spawns in the southern part of
the state, at least in Kenosha county,
in April, and that by waiting until
July LIST the fishing season for this
county is over. In addition to losing
the sport it amounts to no little finan-
clal loss to the proprietors of hotels
and summer resorts. In the month of
June thousands of persons from Chi
cago and other cities come to Kenosha
county to spend their vacations in
fishing and the present law will pre-
vent their doing so in the future and
the hotel people will lose by it.

ATOW is the time when shops and
IN department stores are briskly
busy, many hours of the day, Quitting
their patrons with winter wraps.
Nearly all of these prospective pur.
chasers want coats that are smart as
to style, and equal to much service,
and their satisfaction In these regards
has been assured In a great many new
models. If, in addition to these Inn
perative requirements, they can find
garments that have some ingenious
trick in cutting, some unusual manage
ment of drapery or lines, they are so
much the better pleased since these
features add distinction to wraps that
are compelled to have many things in
common.
Coats this season are long, reaching
to the bottom of the dress or within
very few inches of it. They are made
of soft, velvetry cloths, duvetyn and
Bolivia or similar fabrics making the
strongest appeal with their suggestion
Of warmth and comfort. Their lines
are capelike and simple, their sleeves
ample, many of them have high col
lars Of fur and many others have muf-
fer collars of the material of the coat

Partisan Mementoes OF Napoleon.

The statue of Henri of Navarro on
the Pont Neuf, the Oldest bridge in
Paris, is a memento Of Napoleon, for
it was cast from tie bronze of the en-
peror's statue which was torn from
the top of the Vendome column in
1914. This column was erected to
honor the victories of the great sol.
der, his martial deeds being depicted
in a spiral strip which covers the sur
face of the pillar. His figure, in the
robes of Roman emperor, has since
been placed at the top. The Exchange
bridge was erected by Napoleon and
still bears his monogram, the arches.
