These Affidavits
Crossed the Ocean
Affidavits Filed in Settlement of &
Kenosha Estate Travel Far in
Two Months.

What is believed to be a record in
the matter of mail service was estab-
lished on Friday when affidavits sent
from one part of this country to the
other and then across the seas came
back to Kenosha properly executed af-
ter two month travel. The papers
were compiled by Attorney Clifford E.
Randall in the settlement of the estate
of Charles Richards. They were sent
first to relatives in Illinois, from
there to Minnesota and then to Los
Angeles. The heir in Los Angeles for
warded them to Paris and from France
they came back to Kenosha. The en-
tire circuit was completed in less than
two months, the papers having started
on their travels on September 3rd
The feat was all the more remarkable
by reason of The fact that the heir in
Paris, who is a large importer, was
away on hunting trip and the papers
waited there two weeks before they
were delivered to him. The affidavits
passed through the consular office in
Paris and bear several interesting en-
-dorsements as a result.

Timm Wanted Here
Nabbed i'm Milwaukee
Meissner Finds Man on Boat After
Looking Two Years for Him
On Land.

Louis Timm, for whom Secretary
Meissner of the police department has
been conducting search for the last
two years, has finally been apprehended
at Milwaukee. Timm is wanted here
on the charge of non-support, and his
family have been cared for at the e7-
pense of the city all the time that
he has been away.
Meissner has tried to find the man
in every city, village and hamlet of
the state, but the search proved I'M
availing, and finally it seemed clear
that Timm was not to be found on the
soil of Wisconsin, and that if he still
belonged to the state, it must be that
he was on the lake. Following this
conclusion through the secretary's eff
forts, Timm was found working en-
one of the boats that run out of M :
waukee.

teachers retirement insurance. This
is the first year that this sur tax has
been levied and the state will collect
1,139, 745.15 for this fund this year
OF this amount the Kenosha corpora
lions will pay $91, 982.67. The city will
receive no part Of either Of the sur
taxes collected, the entire amount be-
ing paid directly to the state treasurer.
The taxes assessed against the cor

individual income taxes recently as
sessed by the local assessor Of incomes
will bring the total to be paid in in

amount ever paid in Keno2ha county.
More than 1900 Kenosha county in
dividuals will be assessed with income
tax this year.
Roll Not Yet Received.
The income tax roll for Kenosha cor
porations has not as yet been received
by the county clerk and the details Of
the roll Will not be MADE puDllc Until
after 1t is formally filed. It is expect

that it can be certified to the various
town clerks and the city clerks before
the middle of Novemb :.
The income taxes an the sur taxes
will be collected along with the regu-
lar city nd county taxes beginning the
latter part of December. The vast in
crease in the amount of the income
taxes to be collected may make posi-
BILE some reduction in the mill tax as
sessed by the city but this will be a
matter to be decided by the finance
committee Of the city council when the
final figures are made the first Monday
in December.

TRIO SOUGHT AS
TRAIN WRECKERS
Two People Are Injured in Wreck Of
Grand Trunk Train Near
1"~ Lapeer, Michigan.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Lapeer, Mich.--A sheriff's posse and
railroad detectives were searching the
countryside today for three men who
fled from the scene late last night Of
tn de-railment of the first section of
the Grand Trunk passenger train No.
5. The men were believed by the au-
thorities to be the train wreckers, who
removed a rail near Elba, three miles
from here, with the result that the
entire train except one Pullman, plung-
ed into the ditch. Three persons were
injured seriously.
A flagman saw the trio running into
the woods from the scene Of the wreck,
as he went to the rear to place warn
ing signals. One of the men, he re-
ported was well past middle age while
his companions were much younger.
This directed suspicion toward man
about IS years of age, who had been
in Elba three days and who was seen
last night in company with two young
men. 8ifhe three, it was said, had
carefully avoided contact with the
villagers.
That the train had been deliberately
wrecked was established officials said,
by the finding of track workers tools
at the point Of the derailment and
Identification as having been stolen
from the Elba station house two
days ago.
The engineer observed that a rail
had been removed and was able to
slacken the speed of the train before
it reached the spot. The engine turn
ed over three times as it hurled into
the ditch and so diminished the speed
of the coaches that they merely left
the rails and toppled over. The track
was torn up for distance of more
than 100 yards. The injured, two pas
sengers and the fireman, were brought
here for treatment. The fireman,
severely scalded, probably could not
recover, physicians said.

ed in the accident in which the Gillet
school omnibus figured yesterday after

REPORT OF THE RACINE-KENOSHA

is due to two primary reasons: Many
cows are dry at this period in herds

of prepared rations or concentrates.
The number of cows producing 40

Where are Lightfoot and Whitefoot

!. The assessment of personal property
for the city has just been completed
under the supervision Of City Assessor
John W. Stevens, and the assessment
shows among other things that what
ever the Archbishop of Canterbury may
say to the contrary there are at least
forty people here who are Of the OPP
inion that it is not cheaper to buy
the milk than to keep cow.
Of course everybody knows that Ke-
nosha is thriving town with some of
the charming bordermarks of viii

chickens, the feathered ones, may be
seen walking out a couple of blocks
from Main street, looking for worms

But cows, and forty-two of them!
Who ever "heard tell'' of the like of
that? But City Assessor Stevens has
the figures, and Miss Lydia Stevens

Total Valuation Higher This Year.
The cows that Kenosha owns total in
value $780, but set against this ling
ering touch Of village life, is the item
showing that 1882 automobiles are
owned here and that their value near
ly reaches that of one million and a
half dollars.
The interesting figures in the asses
sor's office show tht the amount of
personal property owned here this year
is less than the amount owned last
year. This is balanced, however, by
the real estate valuations which are
higher this year than last. In 1921.
the amount of personal property owned
here is given as $15,566,560, while the
figures for 1920 are given as SIT, 1874,
The difference is accounted for because
stores of merchants and manufacturers
are lower, and also because many per
sons who owned cars have disposed of
them.
But the real estate figures on the
other hand are higher. The real prop
erty owned in 1921 is given as $39,375,-
$40, as against the 37,568 ,780 owned
in 1920. The total of real and personal
property owned in Kenosha in 1921
mounts to $54,938, 400, where as the as
sessment for 1920 shows total valu-
alton of S54,693,325.
Includes Cows, Horses, Boats
and Tobacco.
The personal property valuation just
completed lists the different items Of
personal property at the following val
ues: AIT horses, value $39,4s0; AZ
cows, $2.230; merchants, manufactur-
ers and bank stock, SIS ,593, 800; ves-
