FIRE DESTROYS
WERNER HOME
Gideon TruesdelI House on
Geneva Road Destroyed
by Fire on Monday.
HISTORIC in COUNTY

The historic old "Truesdell'' resi-
dence on the Geneva road, five miles
west Of the city, was completely de-
stroyed by fire Just after six o'clock
Monday evening. The home was owned
by DR.. Werner and it is declared that
the loss from the fire will be in the
neighborhood of fifteen thousand dol
lars with partial insurance. The fire
came as result Of sparks from a
chimney falling on the roof. 1t was
discovered by women working about
the house just after five o'clock. All
of the men employed on the big farm
were in the fields and some distance
from the house when the fire was
discovered and before they could be
called to fight the flames they had
spread with such rapidity that the
building was doomed. Much of the
furnishings of the house were re-
moved, but efforts to save the build
ing we're futile.
Built Forty Years Ago.
The Truesdell house was one Of the
show places Of the rural districts of
Kenosha county. 1t was built more
than forty years ago by the late
Gideon Truesdell and for years he
made his home in it. 1t was one of
the largest farm houses in the county
and it had always been kept in ex-
cellent repairs. For some years it had
been the home of Dr. Werner who
came from Chicago to Kenosha county
and who was in charge Of the opera
ton Of the big farm owned by mem
bers of the Werner family residing in
Chicago. The old house was the scene
Of many historic social gatherings in
the old days and its destruction by
fire caused much comment among the
older residents of the city today. It is
expected that new residence will be
built on the site of the ruins at once.

Reviews Whole Case.

The commission reviews the whole
history Of the heating plant here. 1t
shows that the plant is in badly run
down condition and that to repair it
would demand great expenditure of
money which would not be taken care
Of in service promised to the company.
It said that the loss from leakage alone
in the heating season amounted to
$685. It said that the patrons had de-
creased one-third in the last year and
that although efforts had been made
by advertisements in Kenosha papers
to secure patrons for the company that
the effort had failed and that only a
few people had shown any interest in
the continuance of the service.
In concluding the decision Of the
commission says: "The present situa-
ton is quite unfortunate for the COM
pany and its heating service patrons
1t was declared by the commission that
much of the trouble of the company
might have been eliminated if the com
pany had shown proper willingness
to properly keep up its service ten
years ago.
1t is possible that there will be an
appeal on the part Of the heating pa
irons o. the company, hut 10 action
to go to the courts will be taken until
