to be given away in the Downtown
Business Mems recent Fall Festival to
The holder of lucky coupon but which
! is now to be presented to this char
liable institution following most in
teresting "election," in which the cou-
pons were used as votes.
The complete figures of the election
were not yet available this morning
| because the committee is still swamp
ed under the large number of votes
cast but the outcome was announced
| based on an estimate of the votes
cast for the various charitable insti-
buttons entered as candidates in the
| election.
Home is Big Winner.
| The Carmelite Sisters Home is cas-
! lily the winner of first place in the con-
! test. 1t has twice as many votes as
any one of the other candidates and
for that reason first place may be an
nounced without any fear that the ac-
tual count Of the ballots will make any
change in the result.
Second honors will go to the Keno
sha hospital, which will receive beau
ltiful Kimball victrola. Close behind
the Kenosha. hospital comes the ST..
Catherine's hospital which will be pre-
sented with a Simmons allsteel dress
Ter. The War Mothers and the Keno
sha Service League appear to be neck
and neck for fourth and fifth places.
The committee stated that definite
figures on the outcome of the vote
would be made public as quickly as
they were available and that presenta-
ton of the awards could not be for
mally made until these were computed.
Was Interesting Case.
The election has proven a most hap
Ply solution of a knotty problem. The
festival committee, acting on preced-
ent, had offered the automobile to be
given away to the holder of a lucky
coupon, these coupons being given with
merchandise sold during the time OF
the FESTIVAL. District Attorney Frank
Symmonds declared the plan illegal
ard finally the election method was de-
vised so that the merchants could keep
faith with the public and some char
table institution profit thereby.
Some of the voters had to have their
little joke. More than dozen votes
were cast for the district attorney.
"a fine thing for him to use to chase
down the moonshiners," wrote one vot-
er on the back of his ballot.
Have Real Use for Car.
1t is fortunate that the Carmelite
Sisters have won the car inasmuch as
they have a use for it while the other
charitable organizations would have
sold it and used the money for other
ventures. The two homes have, how
ever, needed am automobile to trans
port residents of the homes back and
forth and the car will fill a long-felt
need there. A horse-drawn carriage
has been used for this purpose and it
twill now give way to the more modern
form of transportation.

Frantic Efforts to Save Cows.
Frantic efforts were made to save
the cows from death by the men en-
ployed on the county farm. 1t is sup
posed that the cattle had broken
though the fence somewhere along the
right of-way of the railway and just
a little while before the train arrived
people at the county farmhouse saw
the cattle going onto the track. The
men at the farm were called and they
raced toward the tracks, hoping to be
able to drive the cattle from in front
of the on-rushing train.
The men had covered about half the
distance between the farmhouse and
the railway tracks when the strain
struck the herd. Nearly all of the
seventy-fve cows making up the prize
Holstein herd of the county were out
on the right-of-way of the railway
when the accident took place.
The men from the farm found the
carcasses of the cattle scattered along
the track for a distance of nearly a
quarter of a mile. Three of the cows
had been thrown to the ditch along
the tracks with their legs broken.
1t was declared that the accident
was one of the most spectacular &C
cidents ever reported on aArailway
track in Kenosha county.
Passengers Revel in Blood.
Many passengers aboard the train
left the cars and some proffered to
aid in removing the carcasses from the
tracks. The tracks were splattered
with blood for a long distance and
passengers described it as a ''sicken-
ing sight"
AT the farm it was said that the peo-
pie in charge did not know just how
the cattle had escaped from the pas
ture and got onto the right of-way but
it was believed that they had broken
through the fence. 1t was said at ten
o'clock that no hole in the fence had
been found.
Purchased at Palmyra.
The county herd of Holsteins was
regarded as one of the finest herds OF
cattle in this section of the county
Every cow in the herd had been tu-
berculin tested and many of the cows
were pedigreed animals. Members OF
the committee said that the cost of the
cattle had been more than a hundred
dollars head when they were bought
some time ago.
County officials were planning to
make vigorous investigation into The
slaughter of the cattle.

FOLSOM VICTIM OF
BLACKMAIL PLOT
Suicide Of Mayor of Irving
ton, N. Y, Brings Out
Unusual Story.
FORTUNE FOR SECRECY

Irvington,SN. 1.-THE tragic story
of man who erred in his youth, paid
the penalty and then set out to regain
the respect he had lost, only to sue
coed and have his early folly once
more brought to life, was unfolded
yesterday when the prosecutor began
an investigation into the motives
that prompted the suicide on Septem-
Der rs of Mayor Edward r. Folsom,
of Irvington.
Mayor Folsonl's life reminded those
who heard it's history, of Jean Vatican.
1t was in Hammondsport, N. Y,
that the story had it's beginning, 1t
was the age old tale of wealth and
poverty and love. Folsom's family
was poor. The girl he loved was the
daughter of the wealthiest man in the
town and her father refused to accept
the lowly youth as his son-in-law.
The boy was desperate. He forged
the wealthy mans name to several
checks and later was caught red
handed robbing bank.
Pardoned by Roosevelt.
His sentence was ten years at hard
labor in Auburn prison, but the late
Theodore Roosevelt, then governor,
pardoned him after three years had
been served, in response to a petition
of Hamm ondsport citizens, headed by
the girls father.
Folsom and the girl were married
then, they decided to move away and
start life anew. They came to Irving
ton where Folsom established bust
ness, won his way into many friend
ships and prospered. He was elected
mayor and his work in civic and
church affairs was praised by all
who knew him.
Then came the dark cloud that cast
shadow over the man who had erred
in his youth, some one CHS son says
the prosecutor has their names), who
knew his past, confronted him with
the facts and demanded blackmail.
At his death it was believed the
mayor had little left of. the fortune
he had built up through hard work
It was said he had paid $4,000 in
the past twelve months alone to keep
1.-THE secret. The blackmail began
about three years ago.
And on September &c he died. AT
first it was believed he had died from
bn accidental overdose of a sedative
then it was learned he was suicide
The investigation unfofded the facts
of his LIE and his wife, who, has been
with him and knows of all his trials
s'nce he was released from prison, de.
clales she knows those who took his
fortune for his secret.
