|COOPER'S LEAD
| MOST EMPHATIC
Wins Over Pfennig by Ma
jority of Between Seven
and Eight Thousand.
HULL BEATS TONER

Congressman Henry Allen Cooper is
probably going to spend two more
years at Washington and help put over
the insurgent program. The First
District emphatically re-nominated
him at the primaries on Tuesday and
he will have a lead of between eight
and nine thousand votes over Charles
H. Pfennig of Kenosha. Mr.. Pfennig
carried his home county but the other
four counties in the district all went
20 Cooper. In Racine county Cooper
got more than double the vote given
to Pfennig and in Waukesha county
his lead was just as lopsided.
Both Rock and Walworth counties
gave Cooper a majority over Pfennig
but it was not as topheavy as the ma
jorities in the other counties.
George w. Hull of Whitewater won
the Republican nomination for state
senator in the Kenosha- Walworth
county district defeating DR.. 7. J..
Toner of Kenosha by a majority of
1.4O6 votes. 1t was question of
home endorsement and Hull carried
his home county by great majority
over Toner. The Kenosha candidate
refrigerated by carrying Kenosha coun-
ty but his lead was not anywhere
near large enough to make up for the
losses in Walworth county.
With a few scattered precincts miss
ing the following is the district vote

Wife of Cudahy Man Found
Bound and Branded,
Doubts I1Ie.
TELLS OF OTHER TIME
Tells How Husband Claimed
Similar Attacks Weeks Ago;
Detroit Police Investigate.

A new angle developed today in the
mystery surrounding the finding OF
Thomas Stolpa, Cudahy man, bound
and branded in a half finished bunga-
low north of Winthrop Harbor on last
Sunday afternoon, when his wife al
ter being informed of his tale OF tor
ture told officials at Cudahy that she
doubted it. She recalled how several
weeks ago, when he had disappeared
after a similar trip to Detroit, that
he had told her on his return that he
had been set upon by gang of ne
groes in Hamtramck, suburb OF De-
troit.
She saws that at that time he dis
nIaved cuts on his wrists and chest to
substantiate his story. Two weeks
ago he again went to Detroit, this
tine with $3.50 which he now claims
was stolen from him, his assailants
having bound and branded him and
then left him in the half finished bum
galow.
Attaches of the sheriff's Office in
Waukegan, however, declare that the
man most certainly had been bound
bv some one other than himself and
that the story cannot be entirely
feigned. They have asked the police
Office in Detroit to work with them in
attempting to piece together more OF
the details of the story told by the
branded man.
Meanwhile Stolpa is at the Lake
county hospital in Waukegan recover
ing from his most unusual injuries.
Cite Skull Fracture.
Members of. Stolpa's family in Cud-
ahy told officials how he had suffered
from skull fracture several months
ago and claim that this may lead to
solution of the mystery. They declare
that there is nothing else in his past
life which would furnish motive for
the unusual crime which he told of his
weird tale.
