One government soldier is reported to
have been killed by bomb thrown by
one of the d'Annunbian legionaries,
and shots are said to have been fred
at an Italian destroyer, but this far
the "war" has not been marked by any
notable hostilities. A barrage of proc
lamations has been hurled into the
rival camps by d'Annunzio and Gen.

in no way connected with the party
in the automobile which ran down and
killed Frank Fehlinger in Milwaukee
on last Wednesday night but it is adj
mitted that his name was handed to

be talking with one of the men who
was a passenger in the car. The po-

Mr.. Price had been visiting at the
home Of Philip Hilbert and he had
gone with Mr.. Gilbert to the Town

not communicated with the members of

no idea that his name had been men
toned in the case until after his at
tention was called to it late Thursday
afternoon. He did not even know that
the men in question had been held by
the police until he read of the matter
in the Milwaukee papers on Thursday
evening.

at the University of Wisconsin who
was the fourth member of the party in
the car which struck Fehlinger sur
rendered himself to the Milwaukee po-
lice late Thursday evening. He was

is Asphyxiated
Mrs. ]. c. Murray, Formerly Miss Ag-
mes McKenna, of Kenosha, Found
Dead at Home in Beloit.

Mrs. ]. G. Murray, formerly Miss
Agnes McKenna, Of Kenosha, was
found dead on the floor of the kitchen
of her home in Beloit on Thursday
morning, according to word received
in Kenosha this morning by her sister,
Mrs. G. M. Smith. An investigation
showed that Mrs. Murray had been
accidentally asphyxiated as a result of
being taken suddenly i'll while at
tempting to light a gas fixture in the
kitchen of the home.

by neighbor who detected gas fumes
and scented trouble because she had

found the body of the Kenosha woman,

night and had risen from her bed to
aid herself She had suffered several
times during the past few months from
severe attacks of gall stones and it is
thought that this may have been the
illness from which she was suffering.
It was evident that she had gone to
the kitchen and attempted to light the
gas burner of the stove. She had
turned on the gas and had probably
started to light the match when she is
believed to have became nauseated and
to have fallen in faint. The box
of matches was thrown on the floor
beside her and the matches scattered
all over the floor.

in MARTIN CASE
Mrs. Florence Martin Given
Release from Marriage
Bonds in Court.
THE CASE Is CONTESTED

Mrs Florence Martin was the only
woman in Kenosha to get a divorce
decree from Santa Claus. Judge Bel
den played the part Of good old St.
Nick in the circuit court on Thursday
afternoon just before six o'clock
when after hearing the rather sensa-
tional evidence in the case he an
nounced that he would grant a decree
to the wife and hand down an order
later providing for the division of the
estate which is declared to be valued
at $35,O00
Real estate men who were called as
witnesses in the case did not place
the value on the property of Laurence
F Martin, the husband which had
been set in the complaint. They said
they believedy a fair valuation of the
property was $4,000
Alleges Spite" Marriage.

clares that she went to Waukegan and
married Martin on July %, 1919 and
she charged that at the time of the
marriage Martin had been served with
a summons in suit for breach of
promise and that he had married her
in order to escape the suit She al
leges that the marriage ceremony was
not entered into in good faith by
Martin The, name of the woman
who was alleged to be about to sue

appear in any of the evidence pre-
sented to the court,

that her husband had treated her with
cruelty and that he had forced her
to leave his home on August 23rd of
the. year in which they were married
Martin declared that he had been sick
at the time Of the marriage. No spe-
Cial effort was made by the defendant
or his attorney to prevent the de-
cree being granted.
There was no issue as a result Of
the marMage and the interest in the
case appeared to be mostly in the d.
vision of the property.
