Finds Tragedy at
End of Journey
Richard Goblin Reaches Kenosha to
Find His Wife Dead from
Motor Accident.

Tragedy waited at the end Of his
journey from England for Richard
Goblin, owner of the State Line cafe,
who reached Kenosha this morning to
find that his wife, Mrs. Lena Goblin,
and her sister, Mrs. Thomas Charlton,
had been killed in an automobile acct
dent last Sunday. Mr.. Goblin was
first reached several days ago when
the ship which was bringing him back
from Liverpool was located in Cana
dian waters. The cable told him to
hurry to Kenosha.
In his answer Mr.. Goblin scented
bad news for he declared he chopped
it was nothing serious" and said that
he would arrive in Chicago this morn
ing. There he was met by Thomas
Pembleton, brother-in-law of his
wife, who told him of the fatal
accident.
The double funeral services of Mrs.
Goblin and Mrs. Charlton will be held
Tuesday afternoon at two O'Clock at
the st. Matthew's church with inter-
ment following in the family plot in
the Green Ridge cemetery. There will
be short service preceding this at the
Hansen chapel at one-thirty o'clock.

Cracks the Campaign Wide Open With Bitter
Criticism of the Present Conduct
of the Court.
SEES THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF CRIME
Declares Low Fines for ViOators Has Made Money for
County but Result Has Been Making Way
to Law Violation Easy in Kenosha.

IF the public likes the style of BUSH
ness in that court which stand for,
and which I have tried to indicate in
the foregoing, would like to know it,
not from hearsay but directly, face to
face, on the street anywhere I may
happen to be, for propose to seek
that Office at the coming election, if
I find sufficient backing"
Several Candidates Mentioned.
The election of the Municipal Judge
takes place in April and it is certain
that there will be a number of candi-
dates for the Office. A number of men
in addition to Mr., 0'Donnell have al
ready been mentioned for the office.
1t is admitted that an effort has been
made to have Judge Joseph R. Clark
son be candidate for the office but
up to the present time he has declin-
ed to make the run. The names Of
Lewis Powell, Frank Symmonds, Ed
ward Higgins, Morris Barnett, Walter
w. Hammond and John G. Slater have
also been mentioned.
During a recent visit to the city
Congressman G. E. Randall who serv-
ed for years on the Municipal Bench
was urged to enter the field as a can
didate for the Office but he declined to
make any statement other than to in
dictate it was improbable that he would
be candidate. He told a committee
of his friends that he would give the
matter some consideration later.
While it is believed that Judge TuI-
ly will be a candidate for reelection
he has as yet made no formal announce
ment of his candidacy.
Vote for the election of a judge is
in all parts of the county and the cleo
ton is non-partisan. A separate bal
lot is provided for the election of this
official. Of course, both men and wo-
men will vote for the office. It is said
that among the women Of the county
the suggestion Of woman judge has
been given some consideration and in
this connection the name of Miss Lii
liam Minkel has been mentioned. Hiss
Minkel is the only practicing attorney
among the women of Kenosha and she
has all the qualifications demanded for
the Municipal Judge.

WIFE DESERTER
GETS TWO YEARS
A. G. Bernhardt Arrested
in Colorado, Gets Two
Years in Waupun.
Is MOLDER BY TRADE

The Kenosha police department this
morning closed its books on A. G.
Bernhard, who was arraigned this
morning in the municipal court on a
charge of wife desertion. After a Sc
we're lecture by Judge Tully, the man
was sentenced to two years at the
state prison at Waupun. Bernhardt
has been absent from Kenosha ever
since August, at which time he desert
ed his wife on JENNIE street. The case
has its pathetic side as Mrs. Bernhard
has been an invalid for thirteen years
Arrested in Colorado.
Bernhard was apprehended in Colo
RADIO Springs through the efforts of
the local police who sent out more
than five hundred letters to different
police departments over the United
States. When the local department
was advised that Bernhard had been
captured there, it was found that he
had been living with a woman who
posed as Elizabeth Jacobs. The APP
prehension of the wife deserted is
another example of the efficiency OF
the Kenosha police department.
Mans Trade His Nemesis.
The mans trade was the cause OF
his arrest. AS he is skilled molder
it was presumed that he would follow
his trade which assumption was found
to be correct. Letters were written to
the chief of police of each city where
it was known large foundries were in
operation, giving a description Of the
man. Bernhard was almost appre-
hended in several cities other than
Colorado Springs, but managed to slip
away
When the local police department
was advised of his arrest, Detective
Charles Rock Immediately left for Col
orado Springs to bring the man back
The man when arraigned did not ex-
press any sorrow for the manner in
which he had treated his invalid wife
BY good behavior the man can be re-
leased on parole at the end Of one
year.

WAS CAUGHT in
ARAB QUICkSAND
A. Redeem, Former Keno
shan Now in Palestine,
Has Narrow Escape.
HAS UNIQUE MISSION

Escaping from a horrible death by
being caught in the quicksands near
Mt. Carmel in the Holy Land, was a
recent experience of Arthur Redeem, a
Kenosha, who for several months has
been in Palestine, according to a let
ter recently received from him by J. l..
Rogers of South Sheridan road and
read on Sunday morning at the Park
Avenue M. E. church school, of which
Redeem was formerly member. The
Kenoshan and his Cunningham auto
mobile were finally rescued by Arabs
who came from the neighboring village
of Half just in the nick of time.
The incident happened in the Kishon
River, the old boundary line between
Samaria and Galilee according to the
story told by the Kenoshan in his let
ter. He was fording the river in his
touring car when water was splashed
in the carburetor and it became stalled.
Sinks Down to the Hubs.
The car began sinking in the sands
and all his efforts to extricate it only
drove it deeper. Finally band of
Arabs from the neighboring city ar
rived with a team of horses and pulled
him out Of the sands.
Arthur Redeem is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Redeem, formerly of Ia Rice ave-
nue., Kenosha. He went to Palestine
several months ago where a part of
his mission is to instruct in a motor
school near Half, where he has two
Persians and one Japanese learning of
American motors from his teaching.
He is expected to return to America
about the first of June.
Messenger to Bahais.
1t was also learned this morning
that Mr.. Redeem has been sent as a
messenger from the American Society
of Bahais, Of which there is congre-
cation in Kenosha, to the home shrine
of the cult, the mosque of Beha Ulla,
the prophet of the faith, in Palestine.
He is to study there the practice of the
religion in its native land and to bring
back a report to the members of the
cult in America. 1t is one of the most
unique mission which any Kenoshan
has undertaken.
The letter Of Mr.. Redeem will be
published more at length in the col
umns of this paper later.

Jackie from Great Lakes
is Forced to Give up
Eighteen Dollars
BANDIT WAS SOCIABLE
Highwayman Asked Sailor for
a Cigarette and Flashed
Gun and Made Getaway.

A sailor from the naval training sta
tion at Great Lakes, Walter Hicklin,
had the wind taken from his sails on
Saturday night when he was forcibly
parted with eighteen dollars on Sheri-
dan road. According to the story told
the police by the sailor, he was walk
ing down in front of the Manos Candy
Kitchen on the corner of Sheridan
road and Market street when a man
approached and asked him for a cigar
cite. The sailor reached down into his
pea jacket to accommodate the strang-
er and pulled out a camel which he
gave to the highwayman. eve got a
match" the stranger said and reached
down into his pocket and flashed a
gun on the sailor. "Now shell out
your jack" was the terse command.
The sailor, considerably surprised,
obeyed instructions and gave the ban
dit eighteen dollars The highwayman
then walked rapidly down Sheridan
road to the north.
Robbery Reported Sunday.
The sailor then went to his room at
local hotel, where he was putting up
for the night. The sailor stated that
he had about a dollar and half in
change that he had not given to the
bandit and it was with this money that
he paid for his room. The sailor the
next afternoon reported the matter to
the police. According to the descrip-
tion furnished the police, the high
wayman was TALL wore a black felt
hat, pair of grey trousers and a navy
pea coat.
Story Weak in Parts.
The police are making a complete
investigation into the affair. The po-
lice are just trife skeptical about
some parts of the sailors story. II
was the consensus of opinion of the
police officers that if anyone would
take the chances of holding up man
they would take all the money. An
other thing that looks queer is that
the hold-up was not reported until the
next afternoon. At that time it was
only mentioned incidentally. The
sailor came to the police station in
curing for the Red Cross where he
thought he would be able to get
enough money to return to the train
ing station When he was asked why
he was out of funds, he told the hold
up story. "It's mighty peculiar that
he passed the police station several
times before he reported the hold-up, .
one of the officers commented. This
is not lettering the police departm emf
from making complete investigation
and all the members of the force are
on the lookout for a man of the above
description.

INVITED TO RIDE
ROBBED OF CASH
Taxi-cab Robbers Alleged
to Have Worked Here
Saturday Night.
KUZMA is THE VICTIM

Anton Kuzma, who resides at 419
JENNIE street, got free ride home on
Saturday night but it was an expen-
sive ride at that, as he told the police
officers on Sunday that at the end of
the ride two men who had been fellow
passengers in taxicab with him had
frisked his pockets and had secured
his roll containing something like
titty-three dollars. Then the men
opened the door and threw him out
of the automobile into the road. He
said that the robbery took place near
the plant of the Hannahs Manufacture
ing company on Grand avenue. There
was light just little distance from
the place where the man lost his roll
and he managed to get the number of
the taxicab and he reported it to the
police. The cab was one owned by
one of the we'll known taxicab com
panies of the city and the police were
seeking the driver of it today. It was
said that the driver had gone to Mil
wauukee on Sunday and that he had
not as yet returned At the office of the
taxicab company it was declared that
nothing had been heard of the robbery.
Invited to Enter the Car.
Kuzma told the police that he had
| attended dance at Tatra hall and
that just about midnight he was stand
ing on the sidewalk in front of the
dance hall when a man opened the
door of the taxicab and shouted
want to ride home ?" Kuzma ac-
cepted the invitation and got into the
automobile and told the men that he
wanted to get off in the neighborhood
of the Northwestern station. The cab
went west on Grand avenue and when
it crossed the railway Kuzma told the
men that he wanted to get out. He
claims that at this time the men
grabbed him and that one of them
choked him while the other one went
through his pockets. He said he had
no chance to shout for help. He also
said that the driver of the auutomo-
bile did not have any part in the rob-
berry; and that it was his opinion that
the man driving the car did not know
what was going on inside. He gave
the police description of the two
men but declared that he didn't have
the slightest idea who they were.
The police said late this afternoon
that the taxicab driver had been found
and that he denied Kuzma's story.
They also said that Kuzma later adj
mitted that he lost but five dollars.
The driver said Kuzma was drunk and
that he gave the men the money for
the ride.
