FOUR HUNDRED
FACE ARREST
City Clerk Directed to En-
force State Law for Col
lection of Dog Tax.
FISHER TO PROSECUTE

Four hundred owners of dogs in
Kenosha who have forgotten all ahor+
taking out licenses for their CANNES
as provided by the state law, are fac
ing arrest, as City Clerk George W.
Harrington this morning received an
order from the Wisconsin State De-
partment of Agriculture directing him
to turn over to the district attorney
on July 18th the names of all owners
of dogs in Kenosha who have failed to
pay the state fee. Under the law the
district attorney must prosecute these
people for failing to pay the tax and
the law provides a heavy fine for the
delinquents. The slaughter of the
dogs may follow but it is only incl
dental. Four hundred dog owners
in Kenosha have failed to pay the
tax. About the same number have
paid the city treasurer the tax de-
manded under, the new state law.
The police have made complete
count of all the dogs in the city
and the total is just above the
eight hundred mark.
First Prosecutions Now.
This is the first year that the law
has been in effect and the prosecu-
tions to be started later in the month
will be the first under the law. The
district attorney has no option but
to demand the arrest of the delin-
quents and prosecute them.
Men and women in Kenosha who
deal in soft drinks are slow to pay
the city fees for the Glass "B" per-
mits and the clerk has forty-fve of
these permits all made out and wait
ing for the men and women named in
them to come and get them. Under
the city ordinances the people who
fail to- pay the fee and get the permits
are subject to heavy fines.

WORKMEN FIND

Finding of "0asis in Base

House Wrecking Grew.
FIND THIRTY -TWOPlNTS
Some people have all the luck.

Some people have all the luck.
At least that is the belief OF many
Kenoshans who have heard the rumors
along Main street of how house
wrecking crew discovered "real oasis
in the prohibition desert" and the two
day holiday which followed the dis
covery. The patched together
give the following story:
A house-wrecking crew was busy
clearing the basement of Main street
building which has been occupied by a
saloon and were hurrying the work
to be ready for the changes to be
made in the building for new es-
Establishment. All went well until a
few of the workmen in a corner of
the basement made discovery.
Follow the Scent.
One Whit was all that was neces-
sary. One of the men, according to
the story, went out quietly carrying a
big jug and several of the others fol-
lowed with a case of something. !"
When they left. work that evening,
it is said that the jug and case dis
appeared with them.
The man in charge of the work de-
clared that he knew nothing about the
"oasis" but admitted that he would
probably be the last one to know about
it if the men had made such discov-
cry. He declared that on the following
day, he was five men shy and admitted
that if an oasis was found it might
have been the cause of the shortage.
Thirty-two Pints-Maybe.
1t has leaked out that there we're
thirty-two pints in the oasis in addi-
ton to whatever the jug contained.
The rumors go on to say that as the
story became known along Main street,
the man in charge of the house wreck
ing crew was deluged by applications
from men to fill the places of the alb
sent worknen, who are reported to
have found the "oasis in the basement"
