BOY INJURED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Donald Holsfnger is Struck
By Auto on Sheridan
Road Saturday.
FIRST REPORTED DEAD

Shortly after five o'clock on Satur-
day afternoon scores of friends of
Donald Holsinger, eleven years DID,
who lives with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. David Holsinger, 612 Grand ave-
nue., were mourning him as dead. Just
a few minutes before the report had
gone round the city that Donald has
been killed in an automobile accident
near the north end of the Simmons
ball park, following football game
there on Saturday afternoon.
This report, Donald insists, was alb
solutely unfounded Donald is at the
Kenosha hospital now recovering from
the after effects of two broken ribs,
following an accident on Saturday,
when he was struck by car driven
by Walter S. Wood, rs N. County
street, Waukegan. Donald was return
ing home after the high school foot
ball game and attempted to cross the
road just north of the ball park when
he ran in front of the Wood car, a
Cleveland. He was struck by the right
front fender and hurled to the pave
ment.
Ray and Wilbur Scholey, 679 Lyman
avenue, and Walton Gillespie, $50
Sheridan road, assisted Wood in push
ing the car forward to get at the in
jured boy. He was rushed by these to
the Kenosha hospital where Rrs. Dob
bin and McClusky were called to treat
the boy. A preliminary investigation
showed that the boy was suffering
more from shock than anything else.
Later after an x-ray was taken, it was
found that two ribs had been broken.
In the meantime Wood was taken to
the police Office where he showed his
willingness to do everything he could
for the boy. He was released a. once
when it was found that the incident
was purely accidental and that he
could have done nothing to avoid
striking the boy without jeopardizing
the lives Of others on the road.
Condition Is Improving.
At the hospital this morning it was
said that the condition of the boy was
rapidly improving and that if further
complications do not arise as a result
Of the, present injuries, he would be
able to return to his home in a very
short time.
Chester Ladewig, boy living at 176
South Fremont avenue, was playing in
front of the Jewish synagogue on
Market street when he ran out into
the street in front of a Ford touring
car which was being driven at slow
rate of speed by Otto Schmidt of Tan
merry court, Sunday at 7 p. m, accord
ing to the police report.
The boy was struck by the car and
bruised about the face.

COULDN'T "SLIP
ANYTHING" OVER
Chicago Speeders Found
Things Different With
Police Here.
CAUGHT AFTER CHASE

J. H. Schrieffer and Frank Schrief-
fer, of 1929 Walton street, Chi
cago, were taught q little lesson
at the hands of the Kenosha police
Sunday night. Tho two brothers,
travelling in Ford coupe through Ke-
nosha were ar-1sted by Motorcycle
Officer O'IIare r speeding 33 miles
an hour on MYgaukee avenue, from
Division to Broad street. They were
brought down to the police Office. They
argued at length with Serg t
Kirsch and later Officer Perry Tusler,
lbut found it impossible to take leave
without leaving bonds, and found also
that the police would not accept a
check for bonds.
Then things happened in the police
Office. Sergeant Kirsch was called out
on raid on Rowland avenue; Officers
L. Bauschelt and Detective Breidt left
with the police wagon, and there were
only two left in the Office. The as
sistant chief stepped into the chiefs
Office moment and the two Chicago
men taking advantage of the thinning
in the ranks, slipped down the stairs
Officer Tusler in charge at the desk
looked out Of the window, saw the men
jump into their car and heard the
whirr of the starter. Grabbing his
coat, he dropped down the stairs after
them. The car was turning the corner
on South street. The police officer
commandeered another car handy and
gave chase. At the corner of Sheridan
road and Prairie avenue he picked VI
Officer Vanderwahl.
Get Car at Park Row.
The fugitive car was caught and
stopped on Sheridan road at Park Row
Two indignant Chicagoans came trail
| ing back in custody of the two officers
In vain they pleaded with Assistant
Chief Cyzak.
"You would not be released now if
you gave bonds of $780," said the as.
sistant chief. eve will teach you that
when you are under arrest, you are
not to slip away"
The men were taken to the lookup
Later one was released in order tc
take care of the women in the car, one
of whom was his mother.
"My boys were foolish to try to gel
away" admitted the mother, "but you
know in some other towns all they
have to do is slip couple of dollars
to the policeman, and when they founG
they couldn't do that here, and didn't
have money for bonds, they thought
they would get away"

Jacob Scharrer Cuts His
Throat and Regrets Not
Doing 'GoOd Job"
NOW AT HOSPITAL

Jacob Scharrer, 81, of 1870 Dayton
street, lies today at the Kenosha hos
pital in precarious condition after
attempting suicide by cutting his
throat Sunday at 4:40 p. m. Whether
driven to desperation by the loneliness
of his advanced years, or because of
enfeebled health, it is hard to tell, as
Scharrer was not in condition after
the happening to give an account of
himself.
Clothes Were Bloody.
No one was at home when Scharrer
sought to end his troubles by suicide,
He descended into the basement OF
his home. Two men, Mike Tuchel and
Noel Neau, saw him afterwards going
towards his daughters fat. They saw
a stream of blood down his clothes
and asked what had happened.
Somebody hit me-" the aged man
replied.
The police ambulance was called
and Sergeant Kirsch and Officer
Buchanan responded. They took
Scharrer to the Kenosha hospital in
the public safety ambulance.
am sorry l didn't make a good
job of it," murmured Scharrer when
he was at the hospital.
DR.. McClusky who attended the
patient, said that on account of his
age and the loss of blood, the chances
for recovery were not many.

THREE IN THE CITY
Police Arrest Three; One Ar
rested at County Line by
Lake County Cops.

Three men were arrested by the po-
lice for driving while intoxicated Sat
urday night. Collisions figured in all
of the cases. Because of the recent
fatality which resulted on Milwaukee

somewhat curbed.

however, shows that the situation has
not been improving.
