Counties Take Over
Big Indian School
Brown and Outagamie Counties to
Help in Indian Educational
Work.

Madison, Wis. Brown and Outa-
game county officials have agreed to
take over the abandoned federal In
dian school at Oneida to be reopened
under joint county management for
educating approximately 500 Indians,
if arrangements for obtaining the
school from the federal government
can be made, a representative of the
state department of education has re-
ported to State Superintendent John
Callahan, it was learned today.
Negotiations are now under way for
obtaining release of the school plant
from the government. Indians who
have obtained citizenship but are still
educated by the government will be
admitted to the school.
Plans for opening the school under
state or county supervision were out
lined at a conference between Super
intendent Callahan and a representa-
Give of the federal department at Green
Bay recently. Because of lack of
funds with which to rehabilitate the
institution, it became necessary for

plan Of disseminating the educational
facilities for such Indians in federal
schools, it is said. For several years

uch Indians to schools for unnatur-
5ed Indians.

WIN FEDERAL FIGHT
Trustee A. B. Mccall Secures
Dismissal Of Claim for
$4,000 Taxes.

Some people in Kenosha-a lot Of
them are going to have an unex-
oected visit from Santa Claus. He IS
going to be little delayed in getting
lround but some time the first of the
new year he is going to drop INTO
their stocking dividend on claims
against the Whittier Motors Incor-
ported. The glad word has come from
Washington that A. B. Mccall, trus-
ee in charge Of the settling of the
state of the bankrupt company, has
ecured the dismissal of large claims
or federal taxes against the company
md a sum close to fifty thousand dol
ars will become available in the near
uture to pay dividends to the unse-
ured creditors Of the motors company
Write OF Big Taxes.
The government had tax claims
gainst the Whittier company when it
vas placed in the hands of the trustee
otaling more than $65,000. The trus-
ee contended that, the great portion
# this amount had been illegally as
essed against the company and that
/ would be unfair to the creditors to
,ay it. The government has finally
aiken the view of the trustee and has
dismissed all the claims for federal
saxes with the exception Of $4,000.
Eve are highly satisfied with the
.urn this has TAKEN" declared Mr..
McCau this morning. "The dismissal
of this claim by the federal govern
ment will make it possible for US to
pay dividend to the poor fellows who
had unsecured claims against the com
patny. 1t will not make possible any
payments to the stockholders"
Mr.. Mccall said that he hoped to
make the final settlement Of the
estate Of the bankrupt company some
time early in the new year. AS there
were unsecured claims against the
Winthel company to the amount of
nearly half a million dollars it is indi-
Gated that the dividend to be paid will
be in the neighborhood of ten or twelve
per cent. This will be figured out
just us soon as the final judgment in
the case reaches Kenosha and the OK
penses of the litigation have been de-
Quoted. Most Of the creditors of the
company had given UP hope 'of secur-
ing anything on their claims and the
announcement that the dividend will
be paiG will make Christmas a little
merrier for a lot of people in
Kenosha.

BANASSIC ON
FORGERY CHARGE
Arrest Frank Banassic for
Alleged Offense Com
mitted in 1922.
TOOK WOMAN'S PAY

Frank J. Banassic came back to Aen-
osha to spend the Christmas holidays
after long absence, and he probably
will spend them here but not under
circumstances of as much felicity as
he. had hoped. Banassic jumped Ken
osha at one time, early in 1872, ana
also jumped a fine of SITE and costs
which had been imposed upon him by
Judge Slater in the municipal court
upon his plea of guilty to the charge
of unlawful possession of moonshine
mash and so forth.
Banassic as the pal of Ralph Moore,
former constable and moonshine cru
sader with John Scholey, had been ar
rested after a raid was made and
great quantities of moonshine and a
distillery was captured, indicating that
the two were making a business OF
the business. Moore served time in
the county Jail but Banassic decamped.
Came Back-Pays His Fine.
Banassic came back this week and
was promptly arrested by Officer Law
renee Melbusch on suspicion. Mel
busch had an idea that the man was
wanted here though he was not sure
just what the charge was. He COM
municated with the municipal court
and found that Banassic had paid his
fine. So that was all right.
But there was still another party
to reckon with: the police and the
police department records. Lieut..
Rock, as soon as he heard that Ban
assic had been arrested, said, "Sure
we want him."
Produces Old Pay Check.
Frank J. Banassic was taken to the
police station and charged with forg-
cry, booked on the charge and de-
tanned in the lookup.
Nearly two years ago, Julia S.
Kinder, 60 Congress street, was en-
ployed by the Chicago and North
western railway to clean passenger
coaches. A small pay check for $685.
was mailed to her. Banassic who
lived also at So Congress street, is
charged with having stolen that check
and forged Julia Kinder's name and
cashed the check at local drug store.
The check has been held in pickle
all this time by the police and moth
ing was said about it, as they ex-
pected to pick up Banassic on the
charge, whenever he returned to Ken
osha Banassic returned for Christ
mas and found a sad present await
ing him.
Frank Banassic pleaded guilty in
the municipal court to the charge of
forgery of pay-check belonging to
Julia Kinder and was sentenced to
two years at Green Bay Following the
sentence he was placed upon parole.

who's who" will be published in
Kenosha county soon relative to the
Office of district attorney, and the
who's Who" will issue from the
bench of e. B. Belden, circuit judge.
AS soon as the remittitur Grrives
from the supreme court at Madison,
Judge Belden will sit upon the case
once more, following upon the deci-
sion of the supreme court in reversing
his former decision in the matter when
he gave the office to Frank S. SYM
monds.
The sixty days are up. They were
up Saturday, and with the denial of
the supreme court of re-hearing in
the matter as petitioned for by Frank
Symmonds, there is now no impedi-
ment in the case, to prevent the mat
ter being decided by Judge Belden.
The formal papers in the matter will
be received from Madison some time
today, it is believed, and persons in
terested in the case were watching
each mail to see if the documents had
arrived.
Spoil Judges Holidays.
81 don't know what the supreme
court expects me to do" commented
Judge Belden, in an informal discus
sion of the matter this morning.
"They expect you to count the votes
all ever again." suggested one of the
court officers.
Heaven Forbid" cried the judge.
''The votes are worn out with count
ing. l will not count them. But
foresee that l shall not have any peace
over the Christmas holidays"
Suppose a Tie is Shown?
Lawyers discussing the case have
appeared to think that when the cir
cult judge applies the measuring stick
given by the supreme court, it will be
found that there is tie between the
two candidates, Morris Barnett and
Frank Symmonds. In the event that
this is true and that tie vote is
shown to exist what the result will be
is a matter of conjecture.
Barnett's attorneys argue that in
this event Symmonds has not proven
his case, and that Morris Barnett S
certificate of election issued to him a
year ago this December and by virtue
of which he took office January 1st,
has not been broken down. Symmonds,
it is expected, will contend that the
Office is his by virtue Of hold over, be-
cause no one has been shown to be
elected. , l514ase
The supreme court decided only Cd
that the so-called illegal votes, over
500, were not illegal and must be
counted and CD that ballots identi-
fed as those of absent voters which
had not the endorsement of election
officials should also be counted.
And this is the way the supreme
court concluded returning the case to
this court:
This is about as far as we can go
with the case. We have discussed
such concrete questions as are disclos-
ed by the record which are material to
a disposition of the case. 1t would
seem that it is now necessary for the
trial court to consider other irregular
tiles which at the time of the DISPOSE
ton of the case in that court were
deemed of too triAing a nature to af-
feet the result. We do not think a
new trial necessary. The court should
make such further findings upon the
record as it exists and enter the prop
er judgment pursuant to such findings
Judgment reversed and case re-
manded for further proceedings in ac-
cordance with this opinion"

Jury Finds He Used Due
Care Under Chiroprac-
tic Standards.
SET FIGURE OF s1,5OO
Fix Possible Damages Should
Judge Belden Find for
Herman F. Keuchler.

The verdict of jury in circuit court
yesterday found that F. c. Volgmann,
chiropractor, had not been negligent,
according to the standards Of 'chiro-
practors, but set $1,000 as possible
damages for Herman F. Keuchler in
the event Judge E. B. Belden should
find for him when motions are heard
tomorrow morning, The jury deliber-
ated for more than three hours on a
special verdict.
Through his attorney, Judge R. V.
Baker, Mr.. Keuchler asked for $4,000
damages, basing his contention on the
grounds that the chiropractor who
treated him for eight months failed to
make a proper diagnosis of his case.
He was being treated for stomach trou-
bic by the chiropractor, whereas later
diagnosis made by physicians and
real seat of the trouble to be brain
tumor.
In his defense Of the chiroprsctor,
Attorney A. T. Holmes of Lacrosse pro
duced physicians as witnesses who tes-
tilted that brain tumor is very rare
malady and that its symptoms are also
symptoms of many less serious dis
cases.

The case, which was started more
than two years, ago, hos once been to
the supreme court where demurrer
to the complaint was overruled. The
defense Gemurred on the grounds that
the complaint did not set forth a cause
Of action. The supreme court held that
it did and remanded it TO the trial
court. The decision Of Judge heljen

opractor can be made to assume equal
responsibility with an aleorathic ply
sscian under the law. Judge Baker

he began to experience severe head
aches he went to physician who asked
him to return later. At the plant one

his trouble had been traced back to the
blow On the head, it was found that
under the law the time to file claim
under the workmen's compensation act
had lapsed. At the time of the blow,
back in 1918, Mr.. Keuchler was revived

was informed that he was suffering
