WOMAN HALTS
BOLD ROBBERY
Mrs. E. V. Gosh Prevents
Robbery of Hurd Store
on Fremont Ave.
ONE STORE ENTERED
Particular Burglar Enters the
Isermann Brothers Store;
Fits Out His Wardrobe.

Weakened by the sound of breaking
glass, Mrs. E. v. Gosh, 1923 Fremont
avenue, realized that an attempt at
robbery was being made and acted
quickly so that the prowler was fright
ened away early Sunday morning. The
Gosh home is over the Hurd Drug
store at. the corner of Fremont avenue
and Collins street. Mrs. Gosh was
awakened by the sound of breaking
glass just after three o'clock Sunday
she wakened her husband
and they hurried to the window just
in. time to see man walking nonchal-
antly away from the rear of the store,
his hands in his pockets.
The police were notified immediately
and they secured the neighborhood
but were unable to find the prowler.
He had used a pinch bar to break his
way into the washroom window, but
had become frightened and left with
out anything.
Isermann Store Entered.
Another burglar had been more sue
cessful at the Isermann Brothers store
on Market Square. Forcing an en-
trance through basement window
this man had ransacked the store
seeking evidently only clothes for his
own USE He took a number of silk
and work shirts, size ID IL; two pairs
of trousers; a hat and cap, but pass
ed up other merchandise which APP
parently he could not use.
The burglar had also gone to the
jewelry counter and helped himself to
a generous supply of cuff buttons, belt
buckles, tie pins and the like.
He was also particular in the line
of cash. He ransacked the cash draw
er proper where there was more than
500 in quarters, nickels and dimes, but
did not take this Chicken feed", going
to the private desk of M. j. Isermann,
SIC in bills was taken from drawer.
The robbery of the Isermann store
was discovered early Sunday morning
by Chas. Isermann, one of>the proprie-
tors 1t was reported then Immediately
to the police, who have been follow
ing several clews in an effort to find
the burglar.
1t is possible that the robbery may
have been committed just after mid
night on Sunday morning and if such
was the case, the burglar had good
opportunity to cover his tracks or
even to get out Of Kenosha, if he was
not a Kenoshan. Police were inclined
to believe that the two robberies may
have been the work of some of the
men who follow the carnivals, but no
evidence to support this theory had
been secured up to a late hour this
afternoon.

The findings of fact and the con-
illusions of law in the divorce suit Of
Henrietta Wilson against Chester Rob-

court this morning, establishing the
settlement reached in the case. Mrs.
Wilson was granted an absolute di-
vorce on the grounds set forth in the
complaint against the defendant. Moth
ing was contained in the findings of
fact by the court which reflected upon
the character of the defendants moth
err, who was, however, mentioned in the
complaint, but who had no opportunity
to defend herself against unjust
charges, which, it is declared, were not
material and which were given no con-
sideration in the case, as shown by
the fact that the court, in handing
down its decision, made no reference
to Chester Wilson's mother.
Much of the furniture, some of
which had been personal presents to
the wife, was awarded to her together
with a cash settlement Of $500.
1t was also stipulated that in the

BELMONT AGAIN
GLORIES In PAST
Belmont, Birthplace of Wis
consin, Glories in the
Past Once More.
BLAINE MAKES TALK

Leslie, Wis. Belmont" birth
place of Wisconsin and site Of the
states first capitol, was again mem
DRY today. But yesterday it lived for
few hours as city whose lnhablt-
ants in 1886 had hopes of, its beeom-
ing the capital of a new state-and per-
haps the metropolis of the middle
west.
Wisconsin civic leaders and govern
ment officials gathered here Sunday to
celebrate formal transfer of the first
territorial capitol from it's present
custodian to the state. Governor John
j. Blaine, principal speaker of the oc-
casion, recalled the history of pioneer
days and pictured the center of WIS
consin's politics in territorial days.
Old Capitol Restored.
The old capitol, little frame build
ing, has been restored to its original
state and will be in custody Of the
state conservation commission. A
state preserve has also been secured
near the building to be used as a
tourist camping ground.
"This days celebration centers on
the beginning Of our political history,
and we are met at Wisconsin's first
capitol, the place where our laws were
made" Governor Blaine said. 1T is
propef, therefore, to say something
about our early lawmakers and the
work which they achieved for Wiscon-
sin.
"And first of that favorite of An

governor. In him were many points

eral Dodge was possessed of qualities
which made him the natural leader Of
young democracy.
General Dodge opened the first
session of his territorial assembly,
Oct. %, 1926, by reading message re-
plete with homely political wisdom ana
containing concrete suggestions for the
program of law-making which prompt

Tells of Early Government.
participating with the governor in
the business of legislation was coun-
ell Of 10 members and house Of repre-
sentatives numbering 26. 1t was a
long session, ending on the goth OF
January, 1887, and it was the only ses-
sion of the territorial legislature held
in this first capitol.
"Thus the old capitol at Belmont was
but a temporary capitol. Indeed, Bel
mont was a temporary town, laid out
in the summer of 1886 because that
spot had been selected as the seat OF
government. Men were speculative in
those days. They tried to capitalize
the capitol. Years have passed and
with the years passed also the prosper
ity of Old Belmont and the glory Of
the first capitol.
"Men forgot the place, the building
and the story of it's relation to the
beginning of our organized commun-
ity life. call attention to this fact to
emphasize the debt we all owe, as citi-
zens Of Wisconsin, to those individuals
and organizations whose efforts have
resulted in restoring this old building
to condition representing its ori@inal
state"

'sHolding these boys since Thursday

interposed that there was no evidence
that the boys had been abused by tbs

a hearing at p. M, but the court final

HITS
MORE SCHOOLS
Fourteen of II Persons I'm
der Quarantine Are
School Children.
LINCOLN STAYS OPEN
Because No Additional Cases
Have Developed at Lincoln
1t Will Remain Open.


Smallpox claimed FIVE additional suf-
ferers over the weekend, it was an
nounced today by the city health de-
partment. This brings the total num-
Der of persons under quarantine to
seventeen, of whom three are adults
and the rest school children.
The Lincoln school will not have to
be closed, for no additional cases have
developed among the children, other
than the eight which came down with
the disease at about the same time.
This showed conclusively that the
children were all exposed simultane-
ously, and that all who were suscepta-
Bile to the malady took it at that time.
The city health officer stated on
Thursday that if another case made
it's appearance there, the school would
be closed for the present to prevent the
close association of the children and
the further spread of the disease.
Three More Schools Hit.
Reports to the health department
by physicians in different parts of the
city, together with an attendance check
at the schools showed today that three
more schools, have been infected They
are the Balm school with one case, ST.
CASHIERS with one case, and one case
at the Washington school.
The Frank school developed one case
last week, few days after the small
pox had made its appearance at the
Lincoln school.

school authorities at these schools
which has marked the handling of the
situation at Lincoln. Each child is
carefully examined by the health de-
partment nurses in order that the first
symptoms of the disease may be de-
tected, and thus lessen the danger OF
contagion. In, addition the children
are ordered to report the least illness
to their teachers. Parents are also
asked to watch their youngsters fol-
any unusual conditions.
Urge Vaccination.
Every person in the city who has
not been vaccinated recently, is re.
quested by the health department tc
have this done at once. The family
physician should be notified inmedi-
ately. Immunity from the disease only
lasts from five to seven years in the
average individual, and those who have
not been vaccinated during that period
are urged to attend to this.
Parents of school children have beer
requested by G. F. Loomis, superin-
tendent of schools, to make sure that
their children are provided with this
safeguard. In cases where it is found
to be inconvenient to have the family
physician do the work, the health de-
partment on the second floor Of the
city hall, will be open to the public
at 200 p. m. daily. This service is
free.
