KenOsha Driver
Was a Nemesis
kenosha Motorist Pursues Chicago
Car That Bumped Him and
Forces Restitution.

Orville Milton, who on Sunday was
driving an automobile owned by Mrs.
A. Raemer of Kenosha, appeared in a
role of Nemesis after a speeding
Chicago motorist. Milton was moving
along at a fair rate of speed on Sun
day afternoon just south of Racine
when Chicago car in passing him,
struck against his fender and caused
considerable damage. The Chicago
driver never stopped. Neither did
Milton. He gave chase to the Illinois
car and trailed it for several miles,
finally overtaking it in the town of
Somers. The Chicago man, when
caught, agreed to settle and paid for
the damage done with enough in
addition to make up for the gasoline
used in trailing him.

Salem Dies Sunday Evening at
Home in That Village.

Matthias Loescher, aged SO years, a
pioneer merchant of the village Of
Salem and for many years the post
master there, died just before ten
o'clock Sunday evening at his home in
that village. He had been in failing
health for many months, but despite
this his death came as a sudden sor-
row to his friends and relatives. On

health as usual, he left to go to his
room to retire. He was taken sud-
denly with a sinking spell from which
he did not recover.
Matthias Loescher was born in Ger

During the first three years after

tories in eastern cities.
When the Civil War broke out, he
enlisted in Company C, 9th Wisconsin
Volunteer Infantry and served through
out the war. On October A, 1870, he
was united in marriage to Miss lisa
belle MINIS and to this happy union
were born three children: Charles NJ,
now deceased; Josie and Jennie Loesch-
er, of Salem. He is also survived by
his widow, Mrs. Isabella Loescher.
The deceased was a member Of the
Modern Woodmen, the Fred S. Lowell
post of the G. A. R., and other organi-

SCOUTS TO ACT
AS TRAFFIC COPS
Boy Scouts to be Organized
as Child Protection
Police Officers.
TO HALT MOTORISTS

Chief of Police Thad Logan is put
ting a new corps of cops on his force
to help him protect the lives of school
children in Kenosha. He has enrolled
the services Of Boy Scouts in all of
the schools of the city to aid him in
guarding the lives of their compan-
ions by acting as Child Protection Po-
lice during the times when the chill
dren are coming to and going from
school.
It is the first time that the scheme
has been tried out, it having been or
iginated by the Kenosha Chief and the
experiment promises to attract intex-
est from all of the cities of the state
Scouts to be Empowered.
Here is the plan:
In every school, several of the older
Scouts have been enlisted as traffic
cops. Each Of them is to be equipped
with red arm band upon which are
written the letters &C. P. POLICE"
These letters mean "Child Protection
Police" and the bearer is empowered
to halt motor cars in the name of
safety for the children of the schools.
At each school one of these C. P.
Police is to be stationed at the cor
ners of the streets leading to the
school. It is his duty to prevent mo-
florists from speeding past the schools
during the few minutes when the
children are hurrying to or from the
schools. Each of these "traffic cops"
is also to be equipped with ego and
stop" signal similar to the ones used
by the fagmen the various railway
crossings of the city.
Each evening these &C. P. Policemen"
will be excused from school a few
minutes before the other children are
dismissed in order that they may be
at their posts of duty. Each morning
and afternoon they are expected to be
at school early to be at work.
Warning to Motorists.
Chief Logan announced this morn
ing that the Scout traffic cops would
go on duty either Tuesday or Wednes-
day morning. He has given these
Scouts instructions that any motorist
who refuses to obey their signals is to
be reported by the number of his car
to- the Office of the chief Of police.
It is anticipated that the new plan
will do much to put an end to reck-
less motor driving in the neighbor-
hood of the schools of the city. 1t is
also believed that the plan will help
to inculcate good citizenship in the
Scouts who have agreed to undertake
these tasks

Automobile Plates
to be Ready Soon
State Will Issue 1922 Automobile Lii
censes Shortly After the First
of December.

Applications for 1922 automobile IL
cense plates will not be received by
the secretary of state before Deem
Der 1, his Office reports. A number of
applications have been returned fol-
lowing their early receipt.
Automobile owners who desire to ap-
ply for the same number held by them
in previous years are requested to
have their applications in early. Only
those wanting numbers below 1000
will be assured of accommodation.
It is expected that 100000 licenses
will be issued in 1922, compared to
10000 issued in 1921. This will mean
revenue of $3,6OO,O0O derived from IL
cense payments, the greater part of
which is devoted to highway mainte-
nance.

Bull TIN

The bullet which caused Gin
toft's death was found after a short
autopsy early this afternoon. The
physicians carrying on the search
opened the head of the deceased
and found the bullet buried in
the brain in about the center of
his head. 1t was turned over to
the coroner to be used as evidence
before the cOrOner's jury.
Former Coroner Herbert C. Mill
ager was the first witness called
in the corOner's inquest into the
death of Kasimir Gintoft held in
the Council Chamber this morning
under the direction of Coroner
Truman T. Parker, District At
tOrney Symmonds questioned the
witnesses, delying both into the
circumstances surrounding the
finding of GintOft's body three
years ago and into the tangled
business relations of the deceased.
Former Chief of Police Owen
0'Hare was also to be called to
the stand to tell of the police in
vestigation at the time of the
death of Gintoft.
Former District Attorney Peter
Fisher, Jr., was called to the stand
and produced his records of the
case for the use OF the corOner's
jury. In these was found an un-
paid note for $500, given by Neu-
bauer to Gintoft. Mr.. Fisher ex-
planned that it was his under
standing that the estate was still
unsettled and this note would be
turned over to the estate.
Former Coroner Millager return
ed to the witness stand and asked
that he be allowed to add to his
testimony regarding what took
place at the Neubauer saloon dur
ing the investigation after GintOft's
death. He declared that while the
safe was being opened, former
Chief of Police Owen O'Hare call
cd Neubauer and him into a side
room.
"This may get you in the neck,
0'Hare was declared to have told
Neubauer.
'Why never shot him. came
back the reply.
Coroner Parker quizzed the
former coroner regarding the rea-
son why a death certificate had
not been signed within the five day
period set by law. Millager re-
piled that he was at that time
continuing his Investigations.
The inquest was adjourned until
one thirty to give the jury a
chance to be present at the au-
tOpsy over the body of GintOft.
Former Chief of Police O'Hare
was to be called to the witness
stand at the resuming of the hear
ing this afternoon.

Death, which on Friday morning
Stilled the voice of John Neubauer be-
fore he had been able to answer the
accusation that he was implicated in
the death three years ago Of his part
ner, Kasiner Gintoft, failed to halt the
probe which had been started into this
mystery. Despite the fact that Neu-
bauer, at whom the finger of suspicion
appeared to point, was dead, the body
of Gintoft was exhumed from its
grave in the st. George Cemetery on
Friday afternoon and taken to the
Hansen morgue on South Street, where
this morning the coroner's jury will
view it and watch while physicians
hold an autopsy and probe for the bull
let which caused Gintoft's death
One dramatic incident, originally
planned as a part of this autopsy is to
be lacking. The officials had planned
that Neubauer> should be taken into
custody and brought to identify the
dead and there faced with the chain
Sf evidence which has been gathered
regarding Gintoft's death. When Neu-
ba yer was shot Thursday either by
himself or by an assassin, this plan
was abandoned and he was faced at the
hospital with the evidence which has
drawn his name into the probe. He
died before he had revealed any fur

GiIltoft had been buried in a ce-
ment vault and when his remains were
taken from the grave on Friday after
noon just after three o'clock they were
found to be remarkably we'll preserved.
True They have blackened somewhat
in the three years time but the face
was easily recognized by Bruno Gin
loft, the brother who started the new
investigation. Records alone were not
relied upon to establish the identity
Of the remains as many who knew
/, the deceased were called to the morgue
this morning to aid in establishing it
as the corpus deficit in the case.
Investigation revealed that at the
time of Gintoft's death no autopsy was
held to recover the bullet which had
crashed into his left temple and caus-
ed his death. The body was exhumed
in order that this autopsy might be
carried on and establish that the bull

to kill Gintoft This is the missing
link of evidence which authorities

A Belated Verdict.
Coroner Truman T. Parker, who was

was found dead, has called a coroner's
