To Get His Car
Pulled out of Mud

The fire department received call
just before midnight Friday night
from an individual who asked to have
the engines sent to the corner ot
Salem and Balm avenues. Fire Chief
John Schwartz responded in his
roadster, and companies three and
four turned out.
AS usual there was a man waiting
at the corner to inform them of the
place to go.
"Where il the fret" asked Chief
Schwartz.
"There isn't any fire." came the
answer from the man on foot. My
car got stuck in the mud over yonder
and want you to pull me out"
The fire chief was of a mind for a
second to call the police department
and have the man himself pulled in
Instead he inquired into the circum-
stances. The young man gave the
name of Oscar Homer, 263 Ridge
street. He said he had come over that
way to take somebody home and his
car got stuck in the street.
Somebody told me all I had to dc
was call the. fire department" said
Homer.
You're old enough to know better,
said the chief. mo matter what any
body tells you" And after giving the
motorist a good talking to" he left
him to find some other way of getting
out of hole than with the aid of the
fire trucks and engines.

.BOOTLEGGERS' CHIEF
STRANGELY MISSING

Chicago, III. - <s-l = Edward
Spike" O'Donnell, bootlegger chief
and gang leader, has strangely and
unaccountably disappeared. Not only
are the police ignorant of Spikes
whereabouts, but his intimates in beer
running and allied activities are also
deeply mystified as to what has be-
come of him and as to what his fate
may be.
On Friday, following a shooting af-
fray on the southwest side in which
Spike and his brother Tommy, partici-
pated, Spike was charged by Kensing-
ton police with carrying concealed
weapons and later released on $500
bonds.
The gangster failed to appear in
court the following morning. One
theory of detectives who have known
Spike for years is that he has been
shot from ambush along some lonely
highway by perhaps the same set Of
enemies who unnecessarily attempted
to shoot him on Friday.

garage owners and filling station oper-
ators, were notified this morning to

giving the name of George Cohen and
cashing worthless checks signed by an
Ed or Frank Langley. Each of the
checks has been for S18. They have
been cashed either at filling stations
or at grocery stores. In each instance
the swindler buys something of the
dealer and obtains the balance OF the
check in cash.
"The man giving his name a:
George Cohen was driving a Coles
automobile with no license on the rear
The number on the front is not known
He claims to be working for con,
struction contractor in or near any
city which he visits. A description
of the man is: Height feet 6 inches
weight 145 pounds, dark suit and grey
cap; is good talker."

GIRL-WIFE GOES
HOME WITH DAD
Leo Witliff Comes Here for
His Runaway Fifteen
Year Old Girl.
YOUTH STILL MISSING

Romance and adventure have come
to rather sudden end for the time
being for fifteen-year-old Helen Wit
lift of Milwaukee, who was picked up
here after her runaway marriage to
Cyril Czerwinski, a youth of eighteen.
Helen's father, Leo Witliff of Mil
waukee, has come to get his clipping
daughter. The meeting between the
two was little, strained. The girl
seemed glad to see her father, and
she jumped up when he came into the
room and threw her arms about his
neck. Witliff received the overture
of affection coldly.
Father and daughter left together
for Milwaukee and close surveillance
will be made of her hereafter, the
father indicated.
Say Lad Stole Car.
Cyril Czerwinski was released on
parode in August from the state re-
formatory at Green Bay whittier he had
been sent on a statutory ch~r@cc in
which Helen Witliff, then ttt.een
yeays. old, was named. A few days
after his release from the reforma-
tory he ran away with Helen, and ac-
cording to her story, they were mar
ried in Rockford, Ill.
They came to live in Kenosha where
they rented light housekeeping rooms.
They came under the suspicion of the
police when the girl sought job and
told numbef of lies. Cyril disap-
peared leaving the girl with eight
cents when he learned that the police
had begun questioning her.
Some sympathy was felt for the
young pair until Witliff, the father,
came down from Milwaukee. Accord
ing to his story Cyril is wanted at
Milwaukee for stealing car. Cyril is
said to have taken car from Rent
AGAR agency there and failed to return
it. The car was taken, it is alleged,
at the time he eloped with Helen.

FARMERS FOR
AN AREA TEST
kenOsha County Farmers
for n Area Tubercular
Test of Cattle.
START MOVE HERE

A movement for the taking of an
area test of all cattle in Kenosha coun.
ty in order to eradicate bovine tuber-
culosis here, was launched Friday at a
meeting attended by more than one
hundred dairy farmers of this vicinity
at the court house. Those attending
the meeting voted unanimously for an
area test of the county and agreed to
help in the circulation of a petition
which has as it's goal the securing of
the signatures of more than sixty per
cent of the dairy farmers of the coun-
.ty to a request for such test.
The meeting was called to start
plans to meet the situation which will
arise next July when health officials of
Chicago and Kenosha have established
that only milk from tuberculin tested
herds may be sold either in Chicago
or in Kenosha.
Three Methods Explained.
State Veterinarian Larsen addressed
the meeting and explained the three
methods which may be used to test
herds. The first of these is the local
method, leaving it to each owner to
test cattle. This, he declared, is not
as desirable as the area test by reason
of the fact that all do not voluntarily
join in the movement and for that
reason there is danger Of later infec-
tion of the herds.
The second method described was
the state and federal method which is
also less effective by reason of the fact
that all owners are not included in the
plan.
The third method is the area test
whereby the state takes over the work
and tests all cattle in the county. The
state stands the expense of this meth
cd providing that sixty per cent of the
dairy farmers petition for it.
Need $50 Signatures.
There are approximately 1880 dairy
farmers in Kenosha county who would
be affected by the area test. This
means that the petition to secure an
area test carried on by the state would
need to carry not less than $50 sigma
lures of herd owners.
The meeting held Friday was called
by County Agent Judson Williams, who
presided over it. The Kenoshs health
department. also helped in planning foi
the gathering.
