DARING AUTOMOBILE THIEF

Edward Warren Jr. owns a big Hud-
son sedan of this years model which
he purchased This summer for use as a
taA .s.,sl tos ich assts he has sseeltgttc-
voting it. Late Saturday night he
stopped at the garage on South Tenth
street to learn whether there were any
telephone orders in. He was in the
garage but few minutes when he saw
his car moving off and ran out, but the
thieves knew the car and stepped on
it, and were out of sight in an instant.
The loss of this car would be a severe
blow to Mr.. Warren. 1t bore license
No. 202537 This is about the neryiest
stunt pulled off here this year
Tuesday morning the Milwauke ee po-
lice phoned that they had Warren's car
and he went down and drove it home.
1t was unharmed except that one num-
ber had been Clipped from the number
plate and all the tools had been stolen
A Milwaukee Overland car was aban-
doned here, probably by the thieves
who stole the Warren car.

The hearing before the state railroad
commissioner on the petition of the
local street railway for an increase of
rates and on the city's counter move
for better service will be heard at
Manitowoc on Oct, II, beginning at 10
a. m. The meeting will probably be in
the city council chamber and the pub
lie is invited to attend. The city has
made no denial of the company's claim
that it is operating at IA loss but it al
legeS that it does not cover the terri
tory it should reach and does not give
adequate service in the territory it
does serve; that the company might be
put on paying basis if it would de-
velop the field in which it has a mon
opoly.
City Atty. i, l.. Kelley is represent
ing the city in the matter.

dinner Friday evening. The wedding
is to take place early this fall.
Miss Markham and her fiance met
whIie they were members of colony
Of artists at the Hillside farm estate at
Wyoming, New York, guests of Mrs.
Coonley Ward. Mrs Ward had be
come interested in Miss Markham's
professional work and it was while the
latter was being entertained at Hillside
Farm that she and Mr. kanellos met
and the attachment formed which cul-
minated in the announcement of their
coming marriage.
Mr.. Kanellos is an Athenian of in
tcrnational fame as a classical dancer.
He graduated from the Classical
Academy of Athens, after which he
spent several years in travel, for a
time living with the shepherds of Mt.
Parnassos in the Myihic Dwelling of
the Musees. 1t was here while study
ing the simple life of the Grecian
shepherds, and dancing with them to
the music Of their reeds and flutes, that
he chorcgraphed a number of interest

that Mr.. kanell0s inaugurated his pro-
fcssional career with q number of per-
formances in the Paenatheniac Stad-
ium and in the ancient theater of
Dionyssos,
1t was before the war that Mr.. Ka-

LATE ARRIVAL FROM OVERSEAS

Sergt William A. Georgenson, who
left with Co. Ii, 12Sth infantry for the
war has just returned from overseas
service. He was discharged at Camp
SlOcum, New York and left immedi-
ately for Manitowoc He learned on
the train that the Red Arrow division
was having its first reunion at Mil
waukee and stopped off to meet his
old comrades.
After the signing of the armistice in
November, 1918 GeorgenSon stayed
over there as volunteer in the divi.
sion of criminal investigation. His main
duties were to assist ie rounding up
deserters from the American army and
absent without leaves, many of whom
turned criminals in Paris and other
places and disgraced the American
army 1t was an exciting and adven-
turous occupation at times. He says
that there are over 1000 American de
serters still at large in Europe While
travelling on duty he found an oppor-
tunity to visit his parents at Copen-
hagen, Denmark, whom he had not
seen for fifteen years.

NUMBER 10
BASE BALL

In game loosely played by both
teams the Eagles deefated the Masons
in the last game of the season in the
city Fraternal league, ~ to 7. The
Eagles won the pennant in both series
and finished the season unbeaten. They
claim the county championship on the
strength of this record.
The Kellnersville team also claims
the title but it will be hard to arrange
game as four stars have been play
ing with both teams nearly all season.
The Kellncrsvhille team strengthened
its claim on Sunday by trimming the
Arcade team of this city by a score of
4 to 2. Minister, pitcher for the Kell-
nersville team, struck out seventeen
men and allowed but two hits. Stoney
McGlynn Jr. for the Arcades struck
out eight batterS but he was located
for fourteen safe swatS.

MARKHAM FARM LOSS

Fire destroyed the new barn of Her
bert l.. Markham on his farm together
with contents early Sunday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Markham own the
farm that formerly belonged to Mrs,
Markham's father, Thomas Windiate,
about two miles north of the city on
the Shoto road. They have been spend
ing the past few summers there.
Last summer they built a large mod
ern barn and stable. 1t was built with
concrete floors, cork floor stalls, run
ming water and every modern convent
ence. In connection was a new silo.
In the barn were five head of draft
horses, valuable registered bull, six
calves, all this years unthreshed clover
and grain and all the farm machinery.
The cows had been let out over night
and were saved. Everything else was
lost except two calves that got out of
the barn in some way.
An automobile party from the city
attracted by the flames ran out and
woke up the neighborhood but the fire
was far beyond control, Mr.. Markham
says that he carefully locked the barn
about 9 O'Clock Saturday night and
that the two calves could not have got
ten out if the door had not been open
ed. This makes it positive that there
was some one about the premises in the
night. 1t is a staggering blow to Mr..
Mark ham, who has had his heart in
this new work the past few years. He
has given without stint of his labor and
took great pride in his model place.
The insurance does not begin to
cover the loss and much of the prop
erty lost can be replaced only with
time. If it was the act of firebrand
he, sure, is a villain in human form.

MRS. BASS IN CITY

Mrs. George Bass, a former Manito-
woe girl, who has won "A national repu-
tation as a publicist was in Manitowoc
last Friday. During the afternoon
there was a reception in the assembly
room at the courthouse where many
women, mostly those with Democratic
leanings called and discussed public
matters. Mrs. Bass is strongly in favor
of league of nations of the kind
drawn up at Versailles as the only
means of ending wars. She addressed
a meeting at Sheboygan and may come
back here for talk later although she
is dated many weeks ahead including
several of the country's largest cities.
Mrs. Bass is chairman of the women's
bureau of the Democratic national

LOST BURNS DEED ESTABLISHED

Judge Kirwan last Saturday filed his
decision in the lost deed case of
Burns vs. Burns, deciding in favor of
the plaintiff, Patrick Burns.
In 1913 John Burns and his son Pat
rick, now aged about 80, and who has
been blind since an early age, were
living on a forty acre farm in Maple
Grove owned by the father. They went
to Charles Etzler at Reedsyille where
the father executed deed of the farm
to the boy. He then left the deed with
Mr. Etzler with directions to keep it
for the boy" The deed was never re-
corded.
In 1918 Mr. Etzler with the sons
consent gave the deed back to John
Burns, who died intestate in the fall of
1918. The deed has never been found
and was probably destroyed. The son,
Patrick sued to establish the lost deed
and to bar his brother John, who las
lived with an aunt in Chicago since in
fancy, and his two sisters, May and
Agnes. The main point in the case
was whether leaving the deed with Mr..
Etzler with directions meaning that it
was to be given to the boy was such a
delivery as the law requires. A grantor
who retains the right to take it back
or change a deed effects no convey
ance whatever. Mr.. Etzler testified to
the contents of the deed and to the
legal formalities required and to the
nature of the delivery. The court now
holds in effect that the delivery to Etz-
Ter was delivery to the boy and that
Patrick owns the farm to the exclu-
sion of the other three. After delivery
of the deed to Etzler for his son, John
Burns could not by any act Of his re-
gain the title.
