on his way back to Minneapolis to his
wife and three children.
"A man who will take that trouble

Youth and Woman
i'm a, Fence Row
Samuel Raksany Pleads Guilty to
Assault and is Fined
So and Costs.

Agnes Marchulaitis went and sat on
the fence Of the Raksany's, 421 Ounce
street, Monday afternoon. She sat
there to fan herself and cool off. Along
came Samuel Raksany, heir of the
Raksany's, aged seventeen, and or
dered Agnes to move on and move off,
She weighs 140, he said later, and the
fence was frail. He was thinking
solely of the fence, and of the par
entail investment therein.
Mrs. Marchulaitis then called him
"bum," he said. He said he went
up to push her off the fence and then
she called him something else. Then
and thereupon he slapped her right
well, he said.
Mrs. Marchulait;s caused the arrest
of Samuel Raksany, and he was brought
into the municipal court this morn
ing and then and there charged with
assault and battery upon the person
of Agnes Marchulaitis
Samuel pleaded guilty and was fined.

YOUTH RESCUED
DROWNING LAD
F. Smith Hangs to Break
water Piling to Res
cue J. Hook.
FELL INTO WATER

A story of heroism was reported To-
day by fishermen who frequent the
breakwater at the end of Lake avenue
who told how 13-year-old Johnny Hook
had been rescued from drowning by
15-year-old Francis Smith, $40 Under
man court. The episode took place
several days ago, but only became
known today when several who saw the
accident started movement to have
the hero gain recognition for his act
of bravery.
Young Hook was fishing from the
breakwater. He had a jointed fishing
rod and this broke in two parts; as
he grappled for the farther end of the
pole he fell into the water which is
several feet deep at this point.
Climbs Down Piling.
Several persons saw the accident and
sought in vain to rescue the child from
the top of the breakwater. Young Smith
was fishing several yards away and
looked up in time to see the Hook
child's head going under the water
He ran to the scene of the accident and
while others stood spellbound climbed
down the piling and clinging with one
hand to the piling, while he scaled the
slippery boards, he grabbed the sinking
lad by the hair with his other hand.
After pulling the lad out OF the
water, Smith unbuttoned his clothing
and gave him the first aid treatments
required.
It was declared that the lad who
was rescued was afraid to tell of the
close escape ne had lest he should be
denied the privilege of swimming and
for that reason the act of heroism
went by unnoticed for several days.

BONDSMEN ARE
FORCED TO PAY
John Rizzo Who Signed
Frank Martins Bonds,
Pay in Court.
MARTINI GOES TO JAIL
Wife Beaten Who Failed to
Support Children Is Brought
Back Here.

Frank Martini, who formerly lived
with his family at 555 Jenne street,
beat up his wife. Then he beat her
up some more. He was arrested, and
while his case was pending in municip-
al court, he came home, crawled inside
the bedroom window and beat up his
wife again.
Then he was arrested for non-sup-
port of Peter, Mary, Frank, Emma and
Ellen Martini, all of whom are his lit
tie children. Jacob Saftig can tell you
about the case. He has supplied coal
and wood, potatoes and milk, meat and
bread for Peter, Mary, Frank, Emma
and Ellen for some time. But the city
of Kenosha does not propose to do this
indefinitely. Some way will be found
of making Frank Martini, the father,
buy that coal and wood, potatoes and
milk, meat and bread for those chill
dren or know the reason why.
Then He Jumped Bonds.
On this non-support charge Frank
Martini was arraigned in the municip-
al court year ago. He had the nerve,
excuse me, but he had the nerve to
plead not guilty. He was ordered to
produce $500 in bonds with two bonds
men as sureties. He raised the bonds,
Johna and Frank Rizzo doing the sign
ing.
Then Frank Martini disappeared. All
this year the city has been supporting
the family The Rizzos were ordered
by the court to find Martini and pro-
duce him and were warned that if
they did not do so the bonds would
be forfeited. One of the men heard
that Martini was in Chicago and noti-
fed the police.
Detective Breidt of the police force
went down and brought the man back.
The expense of this trip was $15. Who
was going to pay this bill-the city
which had been supporting that family
of children for Frank Martini so long
or the county of Kenosha?
BOndsmen Must Pay.
When the case of the state against
Frank Martini was called in the NUM-
cipal court Monday afternoon, Judge
Slater ordered the bondsmen brought
in and later John Rizzo made his ap-
pearance. He had hard time under
standing it when the court told him
he had better pay the $15 expenses for
bringing Martini back to Kenosha. He,
at that point, said "no understand"
eff you do not pay for this expense,
I will order the bonds of $500, which
you put up, forfeited" said the Judge.
"Now do you understand? You will
lose $500, you and your brother, by
failing to have this man in court when
his case was set for hearing"
Rizzo's understanding improved rap
idly. He said he would pay the SIS.
But he shot phrases in Italian across
the way to where Martini sat, seat
or two away from Mrs. Martini, who
was fanked on the otherside by Jacob
Saftig. 1t did not sound like chow do
you do? How are you? 7"
Bonds a Serious Matter.
"You must understand" said the
judge to the bondsmen, chat when you
sign somebody's bonds, you are doing
something; you have some RESPONSE
bility. You are getting off cheaply in
this case. You deserve losing $500.
Don't you come in again and sign a
bond so easily"
II never sign bond again for no.

his depleted purse and walked off.

Street car service in Kenosha was
cut almost in half under orders which
became effective today. Bus service
was also reduced. Six cars and Is

1sqosId SIM usqM pepnIouoo 90 HIM
The present schedule calls for nine
cars, two extras, and a car to the
MacWhyte plant. This will leave four
cars on the Elizabeth street line, and
one each on Grand avenue, Sheridan
road and Market street.
To Operate Extras"
To relieve the rush hour congestion,
extra cars will be run on each of the
lines during the morning, at noon,
and at night, it is understood. One
bus will be operated on the Prairie
avenue and Rowland avenue routes
for two hours in the morning, two
hours at noon, and for the same length
of time at night.
While the time between cars will
be heightened, it will not be twice as
long, it was announced. The cars will
be speeded up and rushed over the
routes faster than heretofore. Sever
al minutes will be clipped from the
running time from the business dis
trict of the city to the outskirts.
The number of cars in service has
been reduced from IS to IL, with two
extras.
Heavy Drop Shown.
III. M. Pauley, Kenosha manager of
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric com
pany, in commenting on the reduc-
tion said: Business has been stead
lily falling off for several months. As
an example: Last Saturday our rec
ords show that we carried $500 fewer
people than we did one year ago on
that same date.
"We have hung on, and attempted
to keep from reducing the service for
the past two months. We thought
that conditions would pick up in the
course of few weeks, and with this
in mind, we continued the regular
schedule
s'This reduction is not permanent.
AS soon as conditions warrant 1t, we
will put on all the service that the
traffic demands. In fact we look for
things to start picking up in the near
future"
