said will lead in the development OF
the tract This rumor, however, could
not be confirmed.

man with a temper"
When things did not go to suit her
she would announce that she was on
her way to Portage to the home Of her
parents. At times she would so as
far as Racine where she would stay
with girl friend. Upon her return to
her husband she would wax eloquent
regarding the delights of the society
of the Racinean Lochinvars who would
flock around to take her home.
Eventually she departed for Portage

by letter. introduced in evidence from
her father. She refused to come back.
Anthony stated that he was of Italian

Aroused over trivial matters she
would fly into demonic fits of rage, and
at such time would strike and scratch,
the husband stated. He claimed that
the day before she actually departed
for her parents home she inflicted a
scratch on his arms which left a scar.
In addition to the temper she dis
played jealous disposition, and con-
stantly accused him of armours with
other women. Telling of the cigar in

HULL NOT TO
Be CANDIDATE
Merlin Hull Gives Notice
That He Will Not Seek
Governorship.
NO FUNDS IS REASON

Madison, Wis.-Announcement that
he will not make the race for governor
in the forthcoming campaign, was
made here today by Merlin Hull, Black
River Falls, former secretary of state.
The announcement narrows the race
for Republican nomination down to
Governor Blaine, A. R. Hirst, Lieut..
Governor George F. Comings, and A.
L. Kreutzer, Wausau.
Lack of funds to carry on an agrees
sive campaign was given by Mr.. Hull
as cause for his withdrawing. His
statement in part follows:
81 expected to be candidate for
governor. / am not a wealthy man,
never have had and have not now the
backing of wealthy men or interests
in my political endeavors, and IN order
to enter the race | sought the volun-
teer service of few of my friends
in the organization of committee to
assist me in conducting the canvass.
NV friends do not feel that they can
afford to make the sacrifice of time
needed in carrying on the work.
am not able to finance a campaign
and hire the necessary help. I there
fore feel that l would be too badly
handicapped in entering the contest
against powerful political machines,
which undoubtedly will be financed
literally from the usual source of
campaign contributions.
81 have received more than 1000
letters and petitions from friends over
the state, urging me to enter the race
7 f,,1 70 for thar ".
preston Of confidence, but do not
feel that 1 should ask their support
without prospects of being able to put
up good fight.
During my experience as a legis-
lator, / have helped enact a statute
which it was intended should limit
the use of money in campaigns and
permit men of moderate means to
aspire to public service. The will of
the people as expire ssed in the corrupt
practice law has been so thoroughly
thwarted and evaded by political back
ers and machine candidates that men
from the common walks are practical
~ barred, unless they are willing to
barter their independence for sub
serviency to some form of political
combination"
although both Mr.. Comings and Mr.
/ Kreutzer have announced they will
continue in the race for governor, re-
ports persist in capitol circles that
both will drop out of thegrunning and
the contest will FINALLY settle between
Governor Blaine and former Highway
Engineer Hirst. Important develop
ments in this direction are likely with
in a short time, according to political
leaders.

BURKE BRIBE
STORY DENIED
Federal Chiefs Scott at
Rumors That Big Bride
Was Suggested.
THEORIES ARE OFFERED

Roy L. Morse, United States district
attorney and E. w. Stewart, chief of
the Milwaukee department of justice
have ridiculed the reports that Syl-
vester R. Rush, special prosecutor in
the Union Food Stores fraud case, has
been investigating an alleged Spar
don ring" one angle of which was to
secure the release of Walter M. Burke
former Kenoshan now serving a five
year sentence in Fort Leavenworth fed
eral prison, according to the statement
carried on Friday in a Milwaukee pa
per. The report was to the effect
that an offer of $4,000 had been made
to secure the release of Burke and
others but details of the alleged Of
fer were very vague.
1t was stated that Judge Rush had
been absent from Milwaukee for near
ly week.
1t was stated that there had been
several conferences in Milwaukee re-
Gently regarding the tax which the
government had assessed against Burke
and that this fact may have given rise
to the reports of the alleged pardon
ring"
1t is also admitted that ATTORNEYS
for Thomas Delaney of Green Bay
another man convicted of a part in
the liquor conspiracy and now serving
sentence in Fort Leavenworth, had
gone before Judge Geiger and asked
the quashing of all further indictments
against him in order that he might be
eligible for parole. 1t is declared
however, that this is the only step
which has been taken towards secur-
ing a parole of any one of the men
serving sentences as a result of the
convictions following the expose OF
the big whiskey ring.

GAMBLERS

Do you play the market? In one
month nearly ii million shares of
stocks change hands on the New York
Stock Exchange. A big figure, yes. But
it's over II million shares less than
in the same month, May, of last year
and nearly IS million shares less
than in May, 1922.
The public is in a cautious mood,
taking few chances. That's a healthy
condition, will help restore business
to normal. When money doesn't flow
into speculation, it does flow into sure
things-producti6n.

BARN COLLAPSES
TWO MEN HURT
Employees of KenOsha Con-
tractors Hurt in Franks
vile Storm.
MUCH DAMAGE DONE

Terrific winds, reaching cyclonlc
PROPORTIONS in some parts of Kenosha
and adjacent counties early this morn
ing, resulted in the injury OF tlve men
employed by Brennan and Bounsali
local contractors, near their camp at
Ives Grove, on the Kilbourn road.
The injured are:
Walter Boden, Racine, fractured
shoulder.
Bernard Riley, Ives Grove, lacerat-
ed scalp and arm.
The men with their fellow workmen
sought shelter in barn which coli
lapsed, four others being injured to
a lesser degree.
Boden and Riley were rushed to St
Mary's hospital in Racine while the
remainder of the injured were treated
in doctors Office in Franksville. 1t
is expected that all will recover since
none of the injuries were extremely
serious.
The wind storm, about fifteen miles
in width, created havoc in the farm
ing communities near FranksvllleI
Rochester, Worthwhile, and Ives Grove,
all in Racine county. No loss of life
has been reported as yet, although a
number of persons suffered minor in
juries.
There was heavy property damage
including the demolition Of silos and
farm buildings, loss of livestock, to-
gether with the levelling of miles of
telephone and telegraph poles and the
uprooting of thousands of trees.
BY some miracle, Kenosha escaped
the cyclonic portion of the storm, al
though a heavy rain fell early this
morning, accompanied by heavy winds.
Reports from the towns south OF
Kenosha on Sheridan road told of the
uprooting of many trees along the
highway. Special squads were out
Immediately after the storm removing
the trees and fallen branches from
the roads and keeping them open for
traffic.
Up. to a late hour this afternoon
no report of any damage in this city
had been made.

BONUS BLANKs NoT HERE YET.

The Service Department informs US
that the blanks are not here yet and it
is very probable that the date origi-
nally estimated, namely, July Is, will
come around before the blanks arrive
here.
We would impress upon all ex-serv-
ice men in Kenosha county to watch
carefully for the official announcement
on just when the blanks will be here
and to remember that when they come
to the Service Office to get their blank
filed that they bring their discharge
papers and two witnesses where it is
necessary.

NAPOLEON.

Napoleon's early ambition was to
be writer. Short stories in his hand
writing are pronounced authentic by
experts.
Later he chose the sword instead
of the pen. And his career proves
that the pen is not always mightier
than the sword 1t is, in peace. But,
so far, the pen is not mighty enough
to keep the sword sheathed. And it
will not be as long as patriotism is
intensified into form Of insanity.

Score Injured at Racine.

Racine, Wis. - AS later reports
from the storm area brought more
comprehensive outline Of the destruc-
ton wrought, it was estimated that
the damage to farm property alone
would approximate half million dol
lars, while the list of injured prob
ably will total score of persons.
In Racine there was a great deal OF
minor damage although the violence
of the storm was much diminished.
Six school boys, enjoying the first va
cation days, were blown from one of
the breakwaters into the lake and
