Long Illness is
Ended by Death

Death ended a long illness this
morning when Joseph Roettgen, aged
SO, for several years an expert auto
finisher at the Nash Motors company,
died at his home at $50 Pearl street.
He had been taken with an attack of
heart trouble which was the imme diate
cause of death; for several years, how
ever, he had suffered from a complica-
.tion of diseases which had weakened
his system and made him an easy prey
for the attack of heart failure.
He was born in Germany in 1885. He
came to America at an early age liv-
ing first in Streeter, Illinois, and NOV
ing to Kenosha seven years ago. I'm
til year. ago he had his home on
North Hamilton avenue Surviving
him are widow, FIVE daughters and
one son.
The funeral services will be held
Tuesday morning at the st. James
church with interment following in the
family plot in the st. James cemetery.

Hurley Still Busy
Paying Booze Fines
lBy Associated Press LEASED wire

Hurley, Wis.-More than $4,000 was
paid. in fines at the, municipal court
during the year for violation of liquor
laws. The figures do not include fines
paid by persons who were drunk. Hur-
ley has held a record year in drunks.
October was the banner month, $1,000
in fines being paid that month for IL
quor violations. The arrests by state
and county officials brought $2,000,00O
in fines into the treasury, 81 convic-
tions being made in the county on
liquor violations during the year The
fines ranged from 500 to $500. Under
the city ordinance enacted last May, an

GETS NOTICE OF
HIS OWN DEATH
Carlnine Chiapetti Insists
That He is a Very Live
ly Corpse.
MISSING NOT DEAD

Getting notice Of his own death was
the uncanny experience Of Carmine
Chiapetti, Kenosha former soldier,
now living at $50 Middle street, when
he received recently notification from
the War Department that he had been
killed in action. Young Chiapetti in
sists that he is a "lively corpse" and
that here is one instance when Uncle
Sam must be mistaken.
Chiapetti returned from the service
in the regular manner several months
after the war was over. He received
an honorable discharge in the ordinary
way and came back to Kenosha safe
and sound to resume peace pursuits.
Then Comes Death Notice
On Saturday he was very much sur
prised when he received letter mail
ed to his next to kin by the War De-
partment He himself was handed the
letter and opened and read it. With
in was the message:
"Carmine Chiapetti, private Company
G, 18th infantry, died with honor in
the service of his country in the 18th
day of September 1918. Given at
Washington, D. c., office of the adiu-
tant general of the army this third
day of October, one thousand nine
hundred and nineteen.
. /. Erwin, Adjutant General"
Missing But Not Dead.
"I'm Carmine Chiapetti and I was
in Company G of the 18th Infantry"
declared the Kenoshan this morning,
"but I'm not dead and I'm going to let
Uncle Sam know it. l remember that
on or about the day in question did
get separated from my company when
was wounded and carried back to a
hospital. I thought though that that
had all been Strengthened out"
Just where the notification has been
all of the time is puzzle. The post
mark was so bleared that it was i'm
possible to~tell whether or not it had
been several years in the mail or
whether it had been mislaid some
where in the offices of the War De-
partment and not mailed until recently.

No Arrests Yet
in Bomb Murder

Marshfeld, Wis. No arrests have
been made in the "Yule bomb case,
here, according to Sheriff Walter C.
Mueller of Wood county. Sheriff
Mueller stated that federal and coun-
ty officials are of the opinion that
mot enough evidence has been obtain
ed to warrant an arrest at this time.
Although adyices yesterday indicat-
ed an early solution of the case,
Sheriff Mueller believed today no ar
rests would be made for some time.
TWO NEW PATROL BOXES.
The police budget for the new year
provides for the installmeht of two
new patrol boxes. These will be
placed in the downtown district in
the neighborhood of Main street while
two of the old Main street boxes which
have been in use for the last thirteen
years. will go out to do duty in new

Committee Hears Other
Contractors in Effort to
Reach Agreement.
JAIL PLAN BOTHERS
Members Convinced that Bids
Make Possible Completion
with 100000 Bond Issue.

The haze which spread itself over
the bids for the new court house, had
not been removed with the closing Of
the year and Chairman White and the
members of his committee continued
to hold conferences with bidders to-
day in an effort to get up their final
report to be presented to the board
when it meets on Wednesday. There
appeared a possibility that the report
would not be ready at that time, but it
appeared that only a few days delay
might be encountered in the matter.
Officials of the Hutter Construction
company of Fond du Lac in confer
ence with the board on Friday failed
to remove objections which have been
made to the bid of this company which
is the lowest on the face of the bid
sheet. This company has not planned
to use in the erection of the Jail the
materials specified in the proposed
contract. 1t has offered foreign
male Jail equipment which is declared
to be excellent, but the members of
the committee are not satisfied. A
model Jail made up of this equipment
is now being sent to Kenosha for the
inspection of the members of the
committee.
Kucharo Comes for Conference.
w. F. Kucharo of Des Moines, Iowa
head of Kucharo and company, the
second lowest bidder for the general
contract, was in Kenosha today to con-
fer with the members of the commit
tee. His bid specifies just what has
been demanded by the committee and
the total of it is $4,000. The mem
bers of the committee declared today
that combination of bids would bring
the bid of the Hutter company up to
SS05,000 with all specifications being
met, but this company has shown q
hesitancy to change the form of its
specifications for the construction of
the jail work. n
"We want to get for-the county a
court house which will absolutely meet
with every specification that we have
outlined" declared Chairman White
this morning. con this account it is
going to take little time to iron out
the bids and hear the different bidders
but we want to go into the matter just
| SIS far as possible. 1t may take up q
little more time than we had anticipat-
ed but we are going to give the time
100000 Bond Issue Sufficient.
Members of the board today express
ed satisfaction at the bids which have
been offered and they held that even
IL the building should run to $850,00O
that the county would still be able
to erect it with the 100000 bond issue
which has been arranged for. This
had been held as the measure for &C
cepting the bids for the building. The
county has on hand for the construc-
tion of the building more than 100000
and it is certain that a. considerable
sum will be added to this from the
income taxes Of the next two years.
1t is certain that it will take two years
to complete the building and the
money will not all be needed until
some time in 1924 or possibly until
the spring of 1926
