DEATH RIDES ON
DANCE JOURNEY
Clemens Opanski Fatally
Injured While in Racine

STRUCK BY STREET CAR


A journey to Racine to attend a
dancing party ended fatally for Gle
mems 0panski, aged thirty-two, of S18
Albert street, Kenosha, as a result of
collision between the automobile
which he was driving and a street car
on Douglas avenue in Racine early
Sunday morning. opanski was thrown
heavily to the pavement and suffered
conclusion of the brain from which
he died about three o'clock on Sun
day afternoon at the St. Mary,s
hospital in Racine. He never re-
covered consciousness.
Was Attending Dance There.
Opanski, who is we'll known among
the Lithuanians Of this city, motored
to Racine on Saturday evening to at
tend a Lithuanian dance in that city.
After leaving the dance hall just at
ter midnight, he had trouble with his
car and had to be towed by friends
of his from Kenosha. The three of
them, George Wakulsk, 7O1 Edward
street, the victim and his cousin, An
thony Baris, had finally repaired the
car so that it could move on its
own power, but when the engine
started, the lights went out.
Opanski, alone in the car, started
to turn around in the street, and was
halted while on the street car tracks
by a policeman, who ordered him to
report to police headquarters imme-
diately for not having any lights.
Opanski expostulated with the police
man and while they were talking a
street car bore down on them and
Opanski had no chance to jump for
his life.
Thrown Several Feet.
His friend and kinsman from Keno
sha were only short distance away
and say the car struck by the street
car. opanski was thrown several feet
to the pavement and when they reach
ed him he was bleeding from the head
and was unconscious. He was hur-
ried to the st. Mary's hospital
but all efforts to revive him proved
futile.
The victim was born in Russian
1iLHuauldy UuI HhQ DCSIl a IE6lOCAL u
Kenosha for the past ten years. He
was an expert mechanic and was en-
ployed at the Nash Motors company.
He was also a member Of the Ameri-
can Lithuanian society and had been
active in its work Besides his cousin,
who saw the accident, he has no rela-
tives in this country, but is survived
by his parents and several brothers
and sisters in Europe.
Remains Are Brought Here.
The Racine coroner held an inquest
over the remains at Racine this morn
ing. The body was later in the day

nosha where it was prepared for burial.

BIG TERRITORY
FOR ANNEXATION

A formal petition was filed with the
city clerk this morning which asks for
a very large addition to the property
making up the corporate limits of the
city Of Kenosha. The petition is signed
by the Hoyt-Newell Land company and
the Greater Kenosha Land company
and the property seeking annexation
to the city includes the two great sub
divisions on the limits of the city to
the south and west
1t is one Of the largest pieces of
property ever proposed for annexation
to Kenosha. Much Of the property has
been plated and IS now on the market
as building lots and the present own
ers of it hope for an early action on
the annexation petition with the de-
sire to offer to the builders of homes
in the subdivision chance to secure
sewers, city water and to have the inn
provement of the streets under the
direction of the common council.
There has been some, objection raised
to the annexation on account of the
fact that the property to be included
does not include property extending
east to Lake Michigan. "0@
Would Square City Limits.
The aldermen would like to have the
annexation petition provide for the
annexation Of strip of land running
east and west from Lake Michigan to
the western boundary of the land pro
posed for annexation. It is not ex-
pected that the annexation of the
property named in the petition will be
held up because it does not include all
the land from the lake west but the
effort is to be made to have other land
included This would mean the annex
alton to the city Of large tract of
land running along the southern Dor
der Of the city.
The fact that plans have been made
for the building of many houses in
this new territory gives the city assur-
ance that there will be a lot of tax
money to collect in the territory next
year.
