City Golf Course
Again Agitated
!
Purchase of Present Country Club
Site Is Again Urgtd to
Members of Council.


There was more agitation this morn
ing for the purchase of the present
Country club along Park Row by the
city in order to use it as a public golf
course. It is said that several mem
bers Of the city council have been APP
preached on the question and that
they have been urged to act before it
is too late. 1t is said that enough in
terest has been shown that an inform
al investigation into the interest
shown in the city course at Washing
ton Park in Racine has been started
and that action here will await the re-
port from this visit. 1t is also inti-
mated that the proposition may be
again brought before the park board
and then carried to the council al
though at the present time all agita-
ton has been taken directly to mem
bers Of the council. Those who are in
favor of the project declare that in
time Kenosha must have golf course
and that the purchase of the present
one will be mucn cheaper than to al
low it to be torn down and to later
construct course in some part of the
city where it would be accessible.

Marinette, Wis.-The seven year old
son of John Leisner, who has been lost
in the woods near his home since Tues
day evening, when he went to round up
the cows, was found this morning
asleep behind log less than a mile
and half from his home. He was
weak from lack of food and when
Weakened asked for something to eat.
He will be restored to health grad
ually under the care OF a physician.
Over three hundred men from every
village near here took part in the
search for the lost child. Four farm
ers from Hickory, Oconto county, dis
covered the little fellow. There was
great excitement in Coleman, the vii
lake where he is now under the care
Of physicians, when the little fellow
was brought into the town. Bells
rang to tell the people that the lost

SURROUND FUGITIVE
HIDING In SWAMP
Sheriff Leads Posse in Exciting At
tempt to Capture Louis Kruger,
Long Sought for by Police.
(Bx limited Pressl

Eau Claire, visa big posse OF
men, led by Sheriff Weaver, were this
morning surrounding the swamp at the
rear of the Kruger home near Withee.
This home was the scene of the famous
battle Of Kruger farm in September,
1918. The posse is awaiting the ar
rival of Louis Kruger, fugitive, and
brother of Frank and Leslie Kruger,
draft evaders who are in the prison at
Waupun for the shooting of Harry
Jensen, station agent at Owen who was
killed during the battle.
Louis was located last night in the
Kruger home which has been occupied
again during the past few months by
his mother, Mrs. Louise Kruger. But
when the posse surrounded the house
and attempted to arrest him, he Ieaped
through a second story window amid
volley of bullets and escaped into
the swamp at the rear of the house.
Other posses were Immediately or
gained and surrounded the swamp and
began an all night watch. 1t is be-
lieved that Louis was not injured by
bullets during his escape and it is
also believed that it is impossible for
him to get out of the swamp while
it is completely surrounded.

BORDER GUARD
is ON WATCH
Carranza May Seek to Enter
United States Secretly. II
by Associated Press)

Washington - Information regarded
as of the most reliable character, has
been received in Washington to the
effect that President Carranza is pre-
pairing to flee from Mexico. The gov
eminent was so much impressed with
the intelligence that it is understood
to have sent instructions to federal
agents all along the border to watch
closely for the appearance of Carran-
"a. The information reaching here in
dicated that Carranza might leave
Mexica by way either of Vera Cruz
or the American border. That it has
sound basis is not doubted. What
would be the course of the United
States government should Carranza
seek to cross into this country or ar
rive on ship at an American port
is not known. The supposition is that
he would be given asylum.

Industrial Commission
to Explain New Law
Exhibit of Auto Lights to be Held at
the City Hall on May 7th by
the Commission.

Kenosha drivers of automobiles who
may be in doubt as to just what the
new law regulating automobile lights
demands, will have chance to get
first-hand information from the indus
trial commission of Wisconsin as plans
have been completed for an exhibit to
be staged in the city hall here on May
7th at which time lamps which are
approved by the commission and which
are held to meet all the demands of the
law will be on display. The commits
sion will have one of it's agents in
charge of the display and this man
will explain fully just what the law
seeks to do and how its provisions may
be met. The law does not demand the
purchase of any kind of lens for
the automobile light. 1t is admitted
that there are certain lens which meet
all the requirements of the law but
the lens now in use may be treated SO
as to conform to the regulation. y

Only Four Men
Want Judge Title

Only four of the fifteen men who
were elected to put the title Of Judge"
before their names and serve as justi-
ces of the peace in the city and county
have qualified for Office and the rest
Of the men "honored" by their fellow
townsmen do not seem to care for the
honor. The four who have filed their
official oaths and bonds with the clerk
of the circuit court are: Ben Cameron
of Kenosha, John Clausen of Pleasant
Prairie, G. V. Cook of Salem and H. T.
Homer of New Munster. The new
term of the justices of the peace be-
gins on Monday morning and they are
elected for term of two years. Since
the opening Of the Municipal Court
here, the office of justice has been a
good deal of an Office in name only and
the men elected usually decline to
qualify.

WOrkmen's Quarrel
Ends in Lawsuit
Joseph Washkunas Sues John Shugzda
for $500 Damages as Result
of Recent Quarrel.

Exhibit A" at the Office Of Attor-
ney Calvin F. Stewart this morning is
a fifteen inch strip of iron nearly two
inches thick which featured several
weeks agoin quarrel between Joseph
Washkunas and John Shugzda which
promises to ripen into an interesting
law suit. In claim for $500 dam
ages, in which action was started BY
Attorney Stewart for Washkunas
against Shugzda, it is alleged that the
latter threw this piece of iron at he
paintiff. Washkunas threw up his
arm to protect his face and was struck
by the missile. He claims that he has
been forced out of work and has suf-
fered damages to the amount of $1,000
because of the injury. The papers were
served on Shugzda by Deputy Sheriff
Schulien on Saturday afternoon and

Miss DOwser
Just on a Visit
Mystery Grip at Home of Her Sister
Very Much Peeved Over Notoriety
Given to Her.

Miss Helen Dowser, much peeved
Milwaukee woman, arrived at the home
of her sister, Mrs. James Cahill in Chi
cago on Wednesday afternoon, terribly
bored on account of the fact that over
suspicious relatives and friends had
staged search for her at all the
towns along the north shore. The
young woman left Milwaukee to visit
in Chicago week ago and it was her
announcement that she had spent the
week with Mrs. r. Shrader in Kenosha.
The name of Mrs. Shrader does not
appear in the Kenosha city directory,
but this is not an argument that the
Milwaukee woman was not fully truth
full in making the statement that she
visited here. On Wednesday, the Ke-
nosha police were asked to search for
Miss Dowser and there was long tele-
gram from her friends expressing
grave fears for her safety. Miss Dow
ser is thirty years of age and she in
timated that she was entirely old
enough and in her proper mind. She
told her friends that she did not like
the requests to the police to search
for her.
Didn't Have to Give Account
The Milwaukee woman told newspa-
per reporters that she was not aware
of the fact that she was expected to
give account of all of her movements
to her relatives. She did say, how
ever, that she had written her sister a
letter and that the letter was in no
way connected with the search for her.
Miss Dowser stated that she had given
a(letter of explanation to her Kenosha
friends husband and he had forgotten
to mail it.
The Kenosha police today were MAX
ing no efforts to learn anything more
about the young woman.

RAIDCIGAR STORE
ARRESTGAMBLE

Fl. L. Davis, the proprietor Of cigar
store on North Main street, pleaded
guilty" to charges of being the
keeper of a gambling house, in the
municipal court this morning and
was sentenced to pay fine of two
hundred dollars and the costs of the
action with an alternative of spend
ing six months in the county jail.
He went over to Jail, but it is ex-
pected that the fine will be paid
later in the day and that Davis will
be out for Sunday.
The arrest of Davis followed the
raid by the police department upon
the North Main street store. Com
plants had reached the police depart
ment that considerable amount Of
gambling was being carried on in the
store. The officers reached the place
just before eleven o'clock and fifteen
men who were taking part in games of
different sorts were taken into custody.
Release Men Later.
For the most part the men taken
into custody were young men and
they did not appear to have had
part" in any big game and after the
arrest of Davis as the keeper of the
place, Chief -O'Hare ordered that the
men who had been taken on charge
of being inmates of the gambling
house be discharged.
Chief O'Hare said that according to
the information he had bean recaiv-
ing both card games and dice games
had been tolerated in the place and
that it had been general hang-out
for gamblers in small amounts.
1t was said that complaints had
been made against some other places
in the city and that these complaints
were row being Investigated and if
found to warrant other raids would
be made.

PICK ROBINSON
TO HEAD BOARD
Well Known Banker Re
elected President of Po-
lice and Fire. Com.
GET AFTER SKATERS

Henry B. Robinson, president of the
Merchants and Savings Bank, was re-
elected as president of the Kenosha
police and fire commission when the
commission met for the annual reor-
ganization at the Office of the chief of
the fire department on Friday evening.
Nicholas P. Mischler was elected as
president of the commission, and
John Priddis, veteran member of the
board who was formally appointed for
new term on Friday by Mayor Joach-
i'm, was elected secretary, taking the
place of N. P. Mischler who asked to
be relieved of the hard duties of keep
ing the record of the board. Mr.. Prid-
dis served the board as secretary for
many years and he is back in the old
position. The reorganized board will
follow the same policy as in the pre-
vious years, there being no change in
its personnel.
After Roller Skaters.
The most interesting feature of the
meeting of the board was the issuance
of an order to the police departm
demanding that the roller skaters be
kept off the asphalt streets. Several
incidents were related to the members
of the comm ssion, showing that PEG
pie had been injured and many had
narrow escapes as result of the use
of the streets as skating Kinks.
The commission has sent formal
order to the chief, directing him to put
an end to skating on the streets. It
is declared that the police department
may arrest people using the streets for
skating on charges of disorderly con-
duct and prosecute them under such q
charge. There have been frequent re-
quests on the part of the police for
the children to keep off the streets but
it is declared that these requests have
gone UNDECIDED and parents have shown
little effort to aid the police in en-
forcing the order. 1t is thought by
the commission that if few of the
children are arrested and forced to pay
fine that the nuisance can be abated.
The commission recognized merit
when it voted unanim ously to advance
Police Officer Emil Clausen to the
grade of sergeant" in the department.
Sergeant Clausen, who is one of the
best known and most active members
Of the force, is now in charge of the
work at the Municipal Court 1t has
been decided that new bailiff of the
court will be named at this time to
take the place of the late Henry G.
Teldschau, but the work at the court
will be divided among the day mem
bers of the force.
The commission examined a number
of candidates for places on the police
and FIRE departm forces and Secre-
tary Mischler this morning certified
the names of three men for appoint
ment to each department. The list in
cluded: For police officers Alfred L.
Goeb, Nicholas J. Otto and George
Hollager; for firemen-Paul Bull,
Frank j. Ludwig and George Fack.
At the present time there are mum
Der of vacancies on both forces and it
is expected that appointments will be
made from the list of eligibIes within
the next few days.
