ing moonshine liquor in their posses
sion. A search Of the place yielded
three gallons of the liquor and bar
rell of mash but no still was found.
The police went through every room
in the. place bubt if there had been
a still it was concealed to such an
extent that the officers could not To-
cate it. Both the man and woman
were held in custody.
Red Liquor Innovation.
While the police claimed that the
liquor taken in the raid was moonshine
it was "red" liquor and the samples
held at the police Office looked a lot
like the old fashioned brands of whis-
key which were accustomed to decorate
back bars before federal prohibition
came into effect
Nakrenz entered plea Of not
guilty and the hearing was continued
for week.

BODY FOUND IN
CHICAGO HARBOR
Jacob Groh, Formerly of
Kenosha, Drowned in
Chicago Saturday.
MURDER OR SUICIDE?


Mystery surrounds the exact cause
of the death of man, believed to be
Jacob Groh of South Kenosha, whose
body was found Saturday morning
floating in the Chicago harbor. 1t s
believed that the man may have either
committed suicide or may have been
the victim of foul play while in Chi
cago. The only anark of identification
on him was book in one of his peck
cts which contained the name Jacob
Groh, and the address, r. F. D. /, Ke-
nosha, Wisconsin.
The body, which it is believed had
not been in the water for a very long
time, was taken to the morgue of the
Western Undertaking company in Chi
cago, and from there investigation was
being carried on this morning in an
attempt to establish more clearly the
identity of the man,
May Have Been Murdered.
Information from Chicago seemed to
point to the belief that the man may
have been murdered and his body
thrown into the Chicago harbor as
there were several bruises on the
body. It is thought, however, that in
the event he committed suicide he
might have hit against the docks as
he hurled himself into the water.
An attempt to find any trace of a
man Of this name in Kenosha proved
futile. It is believed that he, must
have come to one of the farms Of the
county for the harvest and gone back
to Chicago when the slack season for
the farmers came.

MANY SEEKING
SCHOOL POSITION
Kenosha is Mecca of School
Men Who Wish Place
in Schools Here.
DID NOT UNDERSTAND

p
The informal report that went out
that the Kenosha school board was
seeking for an assistant for Mrs. Mary
D. Bradford, superintendent Of the
Kenosha public schools, made Keno
sha the mecca for several prominent
educational workers Of Wisconsin on
Tuesday when the president of the
board was besieged with applications
for the position. An erroneous i'm
preston had gone out that the person
who was selected for assistant would
be given the position Of superintend-
ent in several years and this induce
ment brought many applications for
the position.
President Glerum refused 10 give
out the names of any of the applicants
but he declared that on Tuesday he
had been asked to consider the appli-
cations Of three men, who hold prom
inent school positions in cities Of the
state.
Had the Wrong Idea.
It was explained this morning that
the wrong impression has become cir
culated regarding the position. The
board is anxious to find person who
can act as assistant to Mrs. Bradford
in the present emergency but they are
not looking for anyone who will take
over her position either this year or
at any time. The assistant whom they
are seeking. is to hold that position
permanently.
The situation was explained to the
applicants who came to Kenosha on
Tuesday and in each instance it was
found that they had gained wrong
impression of the position.
Have Not Chosen Person.
In addition to the persons who came
to Kenosha in the belief that perma
nent position was open here, there
have been several applicants who I'M
derstand the need here and who are
seeking the plac as an assistant to the
superintendent. The committee has
made no choice as yet but will prob
ably be ready to make recommends
ton to the board at the next meeting
1t was stated that Mrs. Bradford was
recovering as nicely as could be ex-
pected but that it would probably be
several weeks yet before she would be
able to return to her duties in Kno-
sha. 13s9
