MORE TROUBLES
FOR KENOSHAN
Myrtle Anderson Held in
Racine on Charge of
Taking Gold Watch.
CHUM IS DETECTIVE

Trouble seems to be following Myrtle
Anderson, the young girl who was up
before the municipal court in Kenosha
recently for the taking of skirt and
a waist from a buggy in a Kenosha
livery stable. The girl, after leaving
Kenosha, went to Racine and today it
has been learned that she is held there
in connection with the taking of gold
wrist watch which was finally found
on the dressing table in the room Of
her home in the town of Truesdell.
It is said that confession has final
ly been gained from the Anderson girl
and that She will probably be sent to
the state school for girls as result
Of her recent escapade.
Chum is the Detective.
The Anderson girls connection. with
this latter crime was traced out for
the police by chum which she had
made in Racine, whose first name is
Clara, the police there withholding the
entire name. The two girls went to
the home of Mrs. Fred Obeler, 924 Park
avenue, in Racine, where Clara was
answering an advertisement to become
a maid in the household. The girls
were led through the rooms of the
house and while Mrs. Obeler was talk
an apron from a buggy in a Kenosha
not resist the temptation of taking
gold wrist watch that was lying on a
dresser table.
The next daN when it was discovered
that the watch was gone, Clara was
looked upon with suspicion by the po-
lice. She Immediately offered them
her aid in the search for the watch,
but insisted that she was innocent.
Follow Anderson Girl.
IN the meanwhile Myrtle Anderson
had gone to her home in Truesdell,
having been taken there by Clara and.
2 friend Of hers. Sometime during the
time that had interviewed she had ask
ed this friend to get a crystal placed
on a gold wrist watch and this query
had lod to the belief that she might
have the stolen article.
Later the detectives and Clara drove
to Truesdell, but found that the Ander-
son girl had gone back to Racine, She
was finally located, however. and when
confronted with the chain of evidence.
traced out by her chum, admitted that
ere watch was at her home, where it
was found later.
The police at Racine and Kenosha
believe that the girl is unfortunate and
that care at a state school will be
needed to teach her the error Of her
ways,

ARDENT LOVER
PULLS A GUN
Peter LOcanto Arrested
After He Urged Alice
tons on Mrs. Koslowski.
WOMAN GETS GUN

The fact that Peter Locanto was too
ardent a sutton for the hand of Mrs.
Anna Kozlowski, pretty little woman
residing out on Grand View avenue,
resulted in his being jailed on Satur-
day night on a charge of threatening
the life Of the woman. Locanto was
captured and turned over to the police
after an exciting chase by several peo-
pie living in the neighborhood. After
his arrest he alleged that he had been
stabbed but the police declared that
he got bad cut on his face when he
ran into the projecti~ end Of a Gull
vert bridge in his effort to escape.
Chief O'Hare has the revolver which
the man is alleged to have drawn on
the woman and he is to be in court
probably late today on a charge of
threatening to take the woman's life.
Woman Disarmed Man.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Kozlowski, this is the second time that
Locsnto had threatened her life. She
told the police this morning that two
weeks ago he threatened her with a
knife. Locanto had gone to the house
on Grand View avenue and he met lit
tie Anna Kozlowskj Just outside the
house. She had dropped a bottle of
milk and Locanto went to the neigh
borhood store with her and secured an
other bottle of milk. On the return
he met Mrs. Kozlowsi and is alleged
to have attempted to force attentions
upon her. When she refused to accept
the attentions, according to her story,
Locanto drew a revolver. She strug-
gled with him and got possession of
the revolver and threw it away. Later
the man was arrested and turned over
to the police. He denied even having
revolver and the matter was up to
the district attorney for an investiga-
ton today.
