from tenants who declared that the
owners desired to raise rental prices
and that they did not care to make any
needed repairs in the property.

TWO INJURED
IN AUTO MISHAP
Mr.. and Mrs. Ell. C. Carlson
Run Down by Auto Driv-
en- by Lloyd BOsteen.
BOTH WILL RECOVER

Mr.. and Mrs. H. c.. Carlson, the lat
ter a teacher in the schools Of the
city, were severely injured just after
seven o'clock Sunday evening when
they were run down by an automobile
driven by Lloyd Bosteen, who resides
at 857 Dayton St. Both are now at the
Kenosha Hospital and while it is not
feared that their injuries may result
fatally, it is probable that they will
be at the hospital for some time. Mr..
Carlson was badly bruised about the
head and face and has several tract
ured ribs. Mrs. Carlson suffered very
severe bruises and it was thought pos
sible that she may have sustained a
superficial fracture of the skull
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson are con
scious and surgeons attending them
were hopeful that they would recover.
Storm Caused Accident.
Bosteen was detained by the police
following the accident. Tie was hys-
terical over the fact that he had been
the cause Of the injury of thestwo peo-
80 dimmed his vision that it was i'm
possible to see them. Bosteen was
driving along Park place from the west
and swung into Park avenue just as
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlson were attempting
to cross the street. The vision Of the
victims had been handicapped on ac-
count Of the fact that they were walk
ing under an umbrella. Bosteen was
not operating his car at an excessive
speed when the accident occurred. At
the police headquarters it was said
that no charge had been made against
the driver of the car and that he was
simply being held pending an investi-
cation. He appeared to be ready to
aid the officers and the injured people
in every way possible and expressed
the deepest regret over the accident.
Mr.. Carlson is employed at the limo
walton on Main street.

DEATH Turks IN
SPRING FRESHET
John Kovacna. Aged 16,
Drowned Near Hast
ings Grove.

Kenosha paid its first death toll for
the year to floods and high waters on
Sunday afternoon just after five
o'clock when John Kovacna, a 16 year
old boy, living at 420 Rice avenue,
was drowned when he fell into the ra-
vine leading to Hastings Grove, which
has been transformed into a spring
torrent by the high waters. The vic
tim was clad in hip boots and was
wading in the culvert at a point a
block north Of Bronson street, where
it is not more than six feet in width.
He stepped into deep hole and sank
before assistance could be brought
to him.
All night long the police and life
saving crews dragged the ravine for
the body of the drowned boy. 1t was
not found until eight thirty o'clock
this morning when Police Officers Matt
Wade and Chris Radtz found the
body caught at the bottom of the cul-
vert near where it goes under the
Northwestern tracks. With the as
sistance of Police Officers Kramer and
Long, the body was brought to the
surface and later at the direction Of
Coroner Truman Parker was taken to
the Mischief morgue.
After Log of Waste Wood.
The story Of the drowning was told
by Martin Koyacna, the ten year old
brother of the victim. He with Hell
muth Haubrich, also ten years old and
the victim were walking along the edge
of the ravine all Sunday afternoon.
The brother declared that John had
been wading in the gully and that he
ventured out into the middle of the
stream to secure piece of drift wood.
Suddenly, so the younger boy says,
he began to sink and cried for help.
A man passing nearby came to his as
sistance and held stick within reach
ing distance. The drowning boy
grasped at the stick but did not have
strength to clinch his hold. He was
evidently seized with cramps and q
second later the water circled over
his head.
No Signs of Body.
The three waited in vain for the
body to rise to the surface and when
it failed to reappear the police were
notified and long search for the body
was started. Captain Fontaine and
his crew Of life savers assisted in the
all night search for the body which
ended this morning. The body was
bent over, indicating that the boy
had been siezed with cramps.
The searchers found that the water
in the ravine was from eight to ten
feet deep in many places. The body
had been carried more than a half
mile before it was lodged in the roots
of tree.
The drowned boy was stepson of
John Kovacznik, APO Rice avenue with
whom he had made his home. He is
survived by two sisters and brother
in Chicago, where he had lived until
short time ago. No arrangements
have yet been made for the funeral
services.
