unexpected.
Mrs. Moore was born in Canada,

Mrs. William Mcclellan. She came
to America at an early age and had
lived practically all of her life in

was at your side glowered at him and
said, "We're dancin' it," and shoo'ed
him away. So you danced "Pop Goes

round dances where everybody gets
acquainted and everybody wears a
smile. Then afterwards you went out
into the garden with Tom, and he
showed yon where the "boys" had hid
den a jug of cider in the old apple
tree and wrinkled up his nose and said
he didn't drink the darn stuff" And

George. Adamson is the sweet fiddler
of South Kenosha, who has tuned up
for country dances times out of num-
Der. for the last thirty-three years. Be-
fore him was Mike McCulloch, but
Adamson began where Mike left off.
Last Saturday night Mr.. Adamson
played country dances for the world
from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh,
broadcasting at the Sears Roebuck and
company radio station in Chicago. Per-
haps timers who heard him play
a quarter of a century ago listened
in's last Saturday night from their
armchairs in Michigan or South Dako-
ia and were thrilled to hear the old
calls just as they came from his lips
long ago. For Fiddler George Adam
son calls the tunes just as Justify as
he plays, and they are the old old calls
that Phyllis and Tom heard at the
dance up to Mr.. Appleby's."
His First Formal Dance"
The first dance that Mr.. Adamson
played at was thirty-three years ago
at the Pikeville creamery, south of
Bristol station. The dance was on the
second floor and there was a goodly
gathering. Adamson had played before
but it was his first appearance as a
fiddler for pay. After that there were

Having found the evidence, the
sleuths waited for the other occupant
of the room to return. Miteff walked
into the ambush just after ten o'clock
returning to his room to retire. As
he put his hand on the door-knob, De-

He said he was willing to be taken
to Chicago and would help to secure
the release of Dimitroff there. He was
booked at the police station on a
counterfeiting charge.
The two men who were arrested had
lived in the room which was raided
since last March. James Miteff for
several weeks had been employed as
workman on Kenosha county's new

had told his acquaintance here that
he was studying to become a chiro-

More fines for violation of the state
prohibition law were collected in Ke-
nosha county during the year 1923
than in any other county in the state,
except Milwaukee, judging by figures
In the comparative report of the state
prohibition commissioner, copy OF
which was received today by Chief
Logan.
The report shows that in the year
1923 there was collected in Kenosha
county $23,l45.0o. This fine was col
lected largely as the result Of the
work Of the police in enforcing the
Law. a,,d rolled into the state Golfers
through the municipal court In Ra"
cine county, there was collection Of
$40 $50 90, suggesting the inference
that nc law is more vigorously en-
forc2 - here than in the neighboring
ci'5.
Compared With Other Years.
y Fines collected in Kenosha for 1928
were only little below those collect
ed in 1922, figures which then were
given at $24,075.00. However, in 1922
fines assessed in circuit court as re-
suit of the grand jury investigation
we're included in this figure, which
therefore does not serve as so fair a
fest of police exertion and prosecu-
tier.
The figures indicating the enforce
ment for 1928, also show the work of
the district attorney in backing up the
police and the Jaw as it stands with a
Vigorous enforcement, and also ihdi-
Gates the attitude of the court in plac-
ing fines upon conviction.
Most startling is the comparison of
the fines as now collected with those
collected for booze violation in 1921,
when the city and county were run
ming wide open" and there was little
or no attempt to curb the flow Of alco-
hol. In 1921, the prohibition scommis-
sioner's figures show, only 5$4,225.00
was collected in fines, and in 1920, ST.
65000 was collected, a mere dribble
of fines in the face of stream of
liquor that flowed through the city
and county at that time.
Shows Other Counties Work
The county that comes next to Ke-
nosha county (always excepting Mil
waukee county, with booze fines is
Winnebago, in which during the year
1923, $2O,550.0O in fines were collected.

Secret Service Men and
Police Raid Counterfeit
ing Den Here.
TWO KENOSHANS HELD
James Meteff and Boris DIM
itroff, Both of Kenosha,
Held as Counterfeiters.


A counterfeiting plot which within
a few more days, if it had been al
lowed to continue uninterruptedly,
would have flooded Kenosha with
thousands of dollars worth of bogus
money, was nipped in the bud Mon
day night when secret service men,
aided by local police, swooped down
on room at sci Newell street, where
a complete counterfeiting outfit was
found. AS a result of the raid James
Miteff, 80, and Boris Dimitroff, %, oc-
cupants of the room are both in Chi
cago today facing charges of being
counterfeiters, which upon conviction
carry heavy prison sentences:
The raid exposed one of the clever
est counterfeiting plots that has been
planned in this section of the country
for many years. While no bogus cur
rency had yet been actually made, the
authorities found dies for printing
''twenties", stems, ''fives", 'twos" and
zones" all of the greenback variety
and with these a press which could
have turned out the illegal currency at
a rapid rate. All of this parapher-
mana Was COlLSCdLSO dAAu VIII W NSSN

Trail Started in Chicago.
The trail which ended in the raid
on the counterfeiting den in Kenosha
started early Monday afternoon in
Chicago Boris Dimitroff was arrested
on Austin avenue there by secret
service men, who it is stated, have
been working on the case for several
weeks He denied any knowledge OF
counterfeiting plan but information
which he gave as to his whereabouts
led the government sleuths to Keno
sha.
Late Monday evening w, j. Edick
and H. M. Corcoran, secret service
men from Chicago, were sent to Keno
sha by Captain Thomas l. Porter, chief
of the service there. They had di-
rections to find the counterfeiting den
in Kenosha and act accordingly. In

to work with them.

Early Monday evening the authori-
