Indians May Claim
KenOsha Lake Front
Indian Chief Petosky at Zion Says In
dians Have Claim for Land
Along Lake Shore.

Zion, Ill.-Lake front land, right
from the Chicago River to Green Bay,
Wisconsin, all belongs to the In lians,
say Chief Petosky, Chief of the Of
tawa tribe, and now resident in the
city of Zion. This property extends
west as far as the Green Bay trail, and
as far south as the Mackinaw trail.
The government did not purchase land
from the Indians east of the Green
Bay trail or more commonly known as
the Green Bay road, says Chief Pc
tosky and the Indians intend to put up
bigger fight for the Gold Coast, in
GLIDING the "Destrict of Lake Michi-
gam" made famous through the long
fight Of the late "Cap'n" Streeter.
Right now, the Chippewa and Ottawa
tribes have an attorney at Washington
ready to take the matter up. Attorney
E. b. Stark is preparing to plead the
cause of the Indians in the United
States District Court, and he seems to
believe in the red mans cause, for he
says, 81 don't want to have a better
monument than to win the case for the
Indians. This lake front land which
the Indians claim, not only takes in
all the sky scrapers of Michigan ave-
nue., but it takes in all of the land east
of the Green Bay trail all up along
the lake shore, through Evanston, Will
mette, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake
Forest, Waukegan, Zion, Kenosha, Ra-
cine and Milwaukee. The most valu-
able slice of land, however, is all of
that property east Of State street"
"The government bought all Of the
land west of State street." says Chief
Petosky, "and did not want the lake
front-it was too marshy and too bog
gy. The government did not want it,"
Therefore it belongs to the Indians,
because the government never bought
neither did anybody else buy it from
the Indians.
Two agents have been among the In
dams in Michigan securing names of
members of both the Chippewa and
Ottawa tribes and these names are to
be forwarded to Washington as claim
ants for the Lake Front property.
The Indians believe they have good
case, as they say that no one can give
clear title to lake front property as
it now stands.

Sioux Falls Has
Subterranean Still
(By Associated Press

Sioux Falls, s. D.-Discovery of a
subterranean still in Sioux Falls east
side was recently brought about by an
unexpected turn which events occa-
sionally take. Someone had carefully
dug out an underground room 16 feet
beneath the floor of an old shed. Sew
eral quarts of moonshine, small still
and other paraphernalia gave mute
evidence that moonshiner had work
ed securely here beneath the surface.
But-in some manner the shed caught
fire, After the fire there was an in
vestigation by insurance agents. A
careless kick by one of the investi-
gators uncovered an iron ring fastened

KENOSHA PAYS
SECOND HIGH
Milwaukee Only to Exceed
Kenosha County's Quota
on Income Tax.
RACINE COMES THIRD

kenosha's growing Importance in the
industrial and business life of the
Badger state was brought to the fore
front again today when statistics of
the state tax commission showed that
Kenosha will pay the second largest
amount of the additional $4,000 900 in
come tax which is proposed to be rails
ed annually through increased income
taxes on incomes of more than $4,000.
Based on assessments of incomes in
1918, the latest figures available, Mil
waukee county, as was expected, will be
called on to lead the list with a pay
ment of approximately $2,500,000 or
forty-three per cent of the total
amount.
Kenosha county comes second and
here the total will be 100000 or
about ten per cent of the total amount
to be raised.
One of the most interesting facts
disclosed by the report is that the
amount which is to be paid by Keno
sha on these figures will just about
double the amount asked of Racine.
Racine county had five per cent of the
total tax assessed against it in 1918
and this would mean that it would
have to contribute 100000 of the adj
ditional tax.
1t is admitted that the new statistics
may make few changes in the per-
centage and the exact amount to be
paid but it is believed by the commits
sion that the ratio will remain approx
imately the same. The statistics show
that approximately two thirds apf the
entire tax will have to be raised in
seven counties, the centers of manu-
featuring in Wisconsin. 1t is main
tanned by many of these that the as
these counties and that some more
equitable method of taxation should
be found.
Other Counties Assessments.
Dane, Manitowoc, Rock and Winnie
bago counties will each pay between
three and four per cent of the S6000,-
000
Twelve counties, most of them in the
northern part of the state, will pay
less than 1 per cent of the increased
taxes. They are Adams, Buffalo, Burn
EFT, Door, Jackson, Juneau, Kewaunee,
Marquette, Pepibr, Sawyerm, Wash
burn and Waushara
Following is approximately the per-
centage which other counties will con-
tribute of the $6,000,000.
About one per cent: Columbia and
Grant, combined; Green and Iowa COM
bined; Lafayette and Lincoln, COM
ed; Oneida and Portage, combined;
Zauk and Walworth, combined; be-
tween one and two per cent: Bay
field, Dodge, Eau Claire, Fond du Lac
and Waukesha; between two and three
per cent: Brown, Douglas. Lacrosse,
Marathon, Outagamie, Sheboygan and
Waupaca.
The following counties combined will
pay approximately 1 per cent of the
$6,000,000: Ashland, Barron and Calu-
met; Chippewa, Clark and Crawford;
Dunn, Florence, Forest and ben
Lake; Iron, Langlade, Monroe and
Oconto; Ozaukee. Pierce, Polk and
Price; Richland, Rusk, ST. Croix and
Shawano; Taylor, Trempeleau, Vernon,
Villas and Washington.

Insurance Companies
Deny Allegations
Answer is Filed by Insurance Com
panies in Suit to Collect Money
| Due to the Pacini Estate.

The insurance companies which car
ried policies on the life of the late
Charles Pacini, to safeguard him
against accidents, have filed an answer
to the suit recently brought by the
estate to compel the payment of the
insurance. The companies in their
answer deny all of the allegations of
the complaint and hold that sufficient
proof has not been brought to show
that the death of Pacini was an "acci-
dental death" as provided for in the
policies. Attorney A. L. Drury is nam
ed as the attorney for the insurance
companies. It is expected that the suits
to collect the insurance will go to trial
at the next term of the circuit court.

Green Bay Has
Forced Baths
by Associated Press J

Green Bay, Wis.-Sheriff Mic Ryan
of Brown county has proposed bath
for each prisoner brought to the coun-
ty jail. Too many unclean persons are
brought to the bastile and permitted
to enter the white cells and they are
communicating the atmosphere in the
jail, the sheriff says. New arrivals
must be Invested Of their clothing and
sent to the bath room to scrub up.
Then overalIs and jacket would be
donned while their clothes are sent
through renovation. When the time
comes for arraignment in court, the
prisoners would be clean and clothed
in spotless attire. Court attaches who
have come in touch with prisoners who
are unclean have endorsed the move
ment by the sheriff.

Few Bank HOld-ups
i'm Wisconsin State
Wy Az Jociated Press)

Milwaukee George D. Bartlett, sec
rotary Of the Wisconsin Bankers as
ISOLATION, reports that Wisconsin has
remarkably fine record in the scar
city of bank robberies. He stated that
only two Wisconsin banks we're robbed
in 1920, one at Oshkosh and one at
Superior, and in both instances three
were convicted and given sentences of
80 years each, or $50 years in the ag-
gregate, Mr.. Bartlett ascribes the
good record to the vigilance of police
officials and district attorneys to the
persistence with which every case is
followed up and to the fact that the
maximum sentence for bank robbery in
Wisconsin is 40 years, instead of to
10 years as in surrounding states.

OPENING GAME OF
|. CITY LEAGUE TODAY
Arco and Baptist Barracks Will
be the Opposing Teams in the
Initial Game of Brunswick's
New Amateur Organization,
When Season Begins at 4:3o
O'clock This Afternoon.

| With the gracious permission OF
-. Jupiter Pluvius," the damp gentle
man who presides at the spigot and
controls the destinies of ball games
and similar events, the opening game
of the Brunswick city league, with
the Arco and Baptist Baraca aggre-
cations as the contending teams, viii
be played at Norwich street park this
afternoon, beginning at 4:3O O'Clock.
The advance dope" is that both
| teams are in the finest trim, and that
it will very probably be the last half
| of the ninth inning before the ssue
| of the contest is decided. The league
officers are hoping that the opening
game will bring out a record atten-
dance, and the ladies of the city are
especially urged to be present
| Next Saturday afternoon will also
| be a banner day for the League, as
la double-header is scheduled, with all
four teams of the city league partici-
pating. The seasons schedule calls
for a game every Tuesday, with a
double header on Saturdays, thereby
enabling each team the opportunity
to make practically a complete cir
cult every week.
! All teams have been completely out
fitted with uniforms, and the league
has supplied itself with the necessary
balls, bats and other equipment. The
public has net been called upon tc
help finance the initial expenditures
and the very nominal admission fee OF
25 cents to all has been set. This in
cludes the war tax and is within the
reach of all, which makes it certain
that the games will be given liberal
patronage
