FlOater's Body Is Found in the
Kenosha River Near the
Main Street Bridge.
BULLETIN.

The mystery surrounding the
finding Of the body in the kenOsha
river near Main street bridge on
Sunday night, was lifted this
morning when the remains were
positively identified as those or
William Penree, aged 80, formerly
a cook employed at the Fischer
hotel. lie had disappeared more
than six months ago after ne had
been hailed into court several
times on intOxication charges. 1t
is believed that he committed
suicide.
Identification was traced through
the Moose ring found on his
finger and through the laundry
mark on his collar. Identification
was made by his wife, Mrs. Mary
Penree, and by Steve O'HanlOn.
Penree had been drinking heavi-
ly for several weeks before he
disappeared. He had been arrest
ed twice on the same day shortly
before he dropped out OF sight.
He had last been seen driving
new Ford sedan and it was be-
lieved that he had gone to some
other city. The car is still miss
ing and police are attempting to
locate it IL possible.
Penree had been a member OF
the Moose lodge but was not
member at the time of his dis
appearance.
The funeral services were held

the remains were buried in the
Green Ridge cemetery.

was found ring bearing an insignia
of the Moose lodge, and this is one
clew which may help establish his iden-
tity. On the collarband of his shirt
was laundry mark "W. p" and in the
tie was gold monogram tiepin with
the letter CIV" engraved on it. All of
these clews are being used by the po-
lice in an effort to solve the mystery.
He appears to have been man
about 40 years of age, heavy set, al
most bald A search of records of men
reported missing failed to throw any
light on the mystery. Whether he is
man who ended his life by leaping
into the river or whether he dropped
accidentally into the river from some
boat or might even have been washed
into the harbor and into the river
from the lake are possible solutions
of the mystery.

GUARD AGAINST
ALL IMPOSTORS
Salvation Army Urges Ke-
nOshans to Investigate
All Solicitations.
USE REGULAR METHOD

Each year at this particular season,
people are besieged with solicitors
who claim to be serving the interests
of charity. In numerous instances,
investigation proves that these beg
CARS are frauds and undeserving of
recognition. Frequently the name of
the Salvation Army is used to further
their ends. This being done recently,
and the solicitor meeting with some
success, has caused the local Saliva
ton Army board to issue the follow
ing warning:
"To Manufacturers and Merchants,
"Kenosha, Wis.
"The attention of the Salvation Ar
my advisory board is directed to the
fact that person, representing HIM
self as a Salvationist, was soliciting
funds at the offices Of manufacturing
plants. In two instances at least
money was paid this party.
"The advisory board wishes to eau
tion people against imposition of this
kind. Guard your contributions in
such manper as to render fraud i'm
possible. When solicitor appears,
telephone either Field Major William
son or the secretary of the advisory
board. The local corps Is now sup
ported through the Community Chest
which does away with any necessity
of solicitation. Donations for the new
| building are most acceptable and may
be sent to George Greiner, chairman
of the finance committee. Any soli-
citation purported to be for Milwau-
kee, or other cities, is unauthorized
and probably fraudulent. Again we
urge the people of the city not to
tender contributions of any kind to
strangers.
