after six o'clock at the Park and Sheri-
dan road crossing struck the buggy
in which Fred Miller, aged 60, q
farmer residing south of Kenosha, and
his wife were riding, hurled them to
the pavement and then speeded on
without attempting to aid the vic
Tins of his reckless driving. Pedes-
TRANS hurried to the aid of the c0u-
pie, calling the police ambulance to

stepped on the gas rather than to
stop and aid his victims.
None of the people who were near

Liebermann.
The sheriff and deputy continued on
their way west and finally came upon
the two men who had oyerpowered the
junkman, beaten bin and taken his
scraper from him. The two men, Ed
ward Scery and Dellmar Griebel, were
placed under arrest and brought down
to the county Jail for the night.
They Made Mistake"
It turned out from. the story OF Scery
and Griebel that the whole affair was
mistake. Scery is foreman of the
road at Silverlake and in the road
mending and making job scrapers are
used. Scery when he saw the scraper
in Liebermann's wagon, concluded at
once that it was one of those used on
the road and believed that the junk
man was stealing it. The play of
rough fists followed.
Only after the scraper had been tax
en- out of the truck and the junkman
ruffled and indignant had disappeared
on his way into town, did the road men
discover that they had made mistake.
It was not their scraper. They left it
by the roadside and it was their turn
to hurry from the scene.

was removed Wednesday of this week
to St. GATHERINGS hospital. Under the
glare of the lights, little Daniel be-

X-Ray taken failed to show the cause
of his inner disturbance. Meanwhile
the boy was beginning to suffer acute

an anguish to his parents, who feared
the child would die.
With the failure to obtain a sue

ordered the removal of the boy to
the hospital at Evanston where there
we're specialists who were familiar
with similar cases. Fearfully and
prayerfully, the small sufferer was
again bundled up and taken away.
Thursday night the boy was placed
on the operating table at st. Francis
hospital for what the parents believed
his last and only chance for life.
Near one lung the little mischievous
kernel of corn, the cause of all the
trouble, was found and removed with
fine skill. Daniel was not placed I'M

spIendidly to the operation and he
was pronounced in fine condition a
few hours after it took place. The

CIGARETTE sMOKING HARMFUL.

London.-The enormous increase of
cigarette smoking among women, says
the medical correspondent of the Lon

the habit in many instances is passing
beyond a pleasure and becoming q
vice.
"The absorption of nicotine, which is
the danger element in the matter" the
correspondent proceeds, produces a
condition of nervous distress which is
frequently painful to observe. From
this proceed palpitations and exhaus-
tion and outbursts of emotion. Wo-
mans delicate nervous organism was
certainly not intended to endure large
doses of this poison. Her functions as

when she INDUCES in it to excess"
It is the habit. of many English wo-
men and girls to smoke cigarettes in
public, and not a few may be seen in
restaurants and hotels smoking long,
slender pipes. Women's organizations
and social improvement societies have
begun a crusade against this "inele-
CANT and unwomanly practice"

FOUND DEAD in
ROCKING CHAIR
Mrs. Josephine Denig Dies
Suddenly at Home on
Middle Street.
OVER EXERTION CAUSE
Post MOrtem Examination
Shows Death Came From
Attack of Heart Trouble.

Death came suddenly to Mrs. jose
phine Denig, aged go the wife of
August Denig, on Wednesday evening
when she was taken with an attack of
heart failure while working alone at
their home at 602 Middle street. She
was found dead, sitting in a rocking
chair in the parlor of the home where
she had probably been resting after
an attack of heart failure. In her
lifeless fingers was held a catalogue
which she had been studying when
death came.
The discovery of the body was made
by niece, 10 year old Ruby John
son, who came to the home about five
o'clock on Wednesday evening and
made the grewsome discovery. She
summoned a physician who declared
that the woman had been dead prob
ably half hour.
Was Hanging Curtains.
The Denigs had just moved from
their former home at 500 Dayton
street to the address on Middle street.
During the afternoon, Mrs. Denig had
been engaged in hanging some lace
curtains in the parlor of the home.
Physicians declare that the exertion
in climbing up and down on chair
which was used in the work had prob
ably resulted in an attack of heart
trouble, which had resulted in death.
1t is believed that Mrs. Denig, believ-
ing the pain not to be serious, had
seated herself in the rocking chair and
had started to read in the belief that
the trouble might be only temporary.
Coroner Truman T. Parker was sum-
moned and made the customary in
formal investigation into su d n
deaths. This was followed by post
norton examination held this morn
ing at the Mischler mortuary under
the direction of Drs. Van Westerienan
and Jorgensen They found that the
woman's heart had been affected and
brought in the report that an affecta-
ton of the heart with complications
caused probably by over exertiOn, had
resulted in death.
Born in Minnesota.
Mrs. Denig was thirty-two years OF
age, having been born in Newburg,
Mimi, October 2, 1890. She had lived
most of her life in Minnesota, having
been educated there. Six years. ago
she came to Kenosha and had made
her home in this city since that time.
She was united in marriage to August
Denig, May II, 1920, in Kenosha.
Surviving her are her husband, August
Denig, of Kenosha; her mother, Mrs.
Ida Peterson, three brothers and three
sisters, all of Minnesota.
[ She had made many friends in Ke-
Rnosha to whom her death comes as
a sudden sorrow.
Definite arrangements for the funer-
al services have not yet been made
pending news from her relatives in
Minnesota, but they will probably be
held on Saturday morning at nine
O'Clock at the St. George church with
interment following in the family
plot in the St. George cemetery.
