District Attorney Files
New Complaint in Cat
tie Killing Case.
WANT A SETTLEMENT
Damage Suit Asking st. Paul
Railroad for $2,160 Is
Again Renewed.

Kenosha County's historic damage
suit for $2,160 preferred against the
Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
road company is once more to be
brought to the fore following action
taken today by Assistant District At
torney John Kennedy who is filing a
formal complaint against the company
demanding judgment in the full
amount of the damages claimed.
The case has had a most interesting
time in Kenosha county. 1t started
in October 1923, under the regime of
Frank SUMMONS as district attorney.
On October 13, 1923, fifty-siX head Of
registered cattle from the county's
blooded stock in some unaccountable
manner broke loose from the confines
of the county farm and strayed on
the right of way of the S Paul rail-
road at a point about one-half mile
south of the town of Ranney. Accord
ing to the employees of the county farm
the gates were closed at the close
of the working day and the manner
in which the cattle were able to get
out of the farm property is still
mystery.
While the cattle were browsing
about along the tracks Of the railroad,
according to the complaint drawn up
by Kennedy, an employe of the rail
road who was working nearby chased
the cattle on to the tracks in such
way as to frighten them and causing
them to huddle together on the main
track Of the railroad.
A fast train came along, it is charg-
ed, and without showing any decrease
in speed or without exercising ordin-
airy care plowed through the herd Of
fifty-six cattle killing them outright.
It is claimed also that the engineer OF
the train was negligent and careless
since he had 4 full view of the right
Of way of the tracks for at least 1000
feet and could have brought the train
TO a complete stop before he reached
the spot where the cattle were hud-
died. All of the animals were part OF
the county's valuable herd and consid-
cradle pride had been placed in the
possession of these by the county.
May Accept Compromise.
The first action taken against the
railroad company was dated June d,
1924, when the office of the district
attorney filed the first complaint de-
handing payment of $2,160 in dam
ages. The company's reply to this
complaint was unsatisfactory at the
time, and for while the matter was
not pushed.
Today Assistant District Attorney
Kennedy completed the new copy Of
the complaint and this is being sent
to the company's headquarters at Chi
cago. 1t is expected that the company
will make reply. If this reply brings
out any additional facts the office of
the district attorney will meet these
in the name of the county. If there is
a denial, and no attempt at settle
ment The case will be brought into
the circuit court for hearing and
Judgment. 1t is expected, however,
that an attempt will be made by the
railroad company's officials to reach
a compromise with the county and that
the entire matter may be settled ann
icably outside of court.

FARMERS WANT
A ROAD BUILT
Action Under Way for OPP
ening of a 1-Mile Road in
/. Pleasant Prairie.
SOME OPPOSE PLAN

Whether or not road, one mile
long, which will give better access to
eight farms in the town Of Pleasant
Prairie is to be opened, was the ques-
tion before Judge r. V. Baker in the
county court this morning. The pro-
posed road is to start at the Wilrot
road at a point about so rods west
of the bridge over the Des PLANES riv-
er, commonly known here as the o.
Plain river, and to run south a mile.
The farms to be served lie in the poe
ket which would be formed by this
road and the river.
The only access they now have to
the highway is through lanes running
through several farms Consequently
there are numerous gates which must
be opened and closed to reach the
farms.
Petition Passed by Board.
The petition for the road was drawn
up several months ago and was signed
by Matt Bieber, John Stratton, Edward
ottirtarSon, Chris Kolmos, John Jones
and Frank Mcneil The town board OF
Pleasant Prairie received the petition
ana dcCe0 IdVOTaDly Oh 1Lt laying Ous
the road on April 20, with an idea that
the ground was to be dedicated by
the property owners and the town as
to pay. for the building of the road
Since that time, however, protest
against the proposed road as it has
been mapped out has been filed, this
protest being signed by Susan LARA
bee, Herman Peterson, Matt Biebe1
and Chris Kolmos. Two of the signers
of the petition have also signed the
protest. 1t is claimed that those pro-
testing do not oppose the building
of road but are opposed to the route
now laid out for it and do not think
that the land should be dedicated by
the property owners.
A commission composed of F. w
Roberts of Woodwork, II. G. Homer
of Kenosha and Evan Jones of Bris-
toll, was named this morning to deter
mine whether or not the building Of
the road is a public necessity

SUSPECT ONCE
A KENOSHAN
Elmer 'Kloge" Anderson
Bound Over for Trial
for Murder.
DISAPPEARED HERE

Disappearance of Elmer "Kloge" An
derson from Kenosha several years
ago was explained Thursday after
noon when Detective Lieutenant
Charles F. Rock, of the Kenosha po-
lice department, stumbled on to the
man in the police court in Milwau-
kee. Detective Rock was in Milwau-
kee on other business. He was some
what startled as he walked into the
courtroom to see Anderson in the pris-
oner's chair in the court.
Anderson was arraigned in Milwau-
kee on a charge of murder in eonnec-
ton with the death of Milwaukee
patrolman, who was shot by thugs who
attempted to stage a drugstore hold
up. there. He pleaded not guilty and
was bound over for trial
Strangely Disappeared Here.
"Kloge" Anderson had been widely
known in police circles here up until
about three years ago when he dis
appeared over night. He came to Ke-
nosha just after war days and for a
few years he was employed as a taxi
driver here. During this time he was
arrested several times. His home was
in Indianapolis before he came to Ke-
nosha and he has no relatives here.
In the investigation of hold-up
staged here about three years ago the
police had reason to believe that An
derson might be able to aid in solving
the mystery.
When a search was instituted for
Anderson, he was was no place to be
found. 1t has now been learned that
he left Kenosha on that night going
to Milwaukee where he has been since
that time.

Beats Girl With
Strap; Arrested
Judge Slater Says a Father Has q
Right to Chastise Children -

Mike Bentkoski, 6s1 Railroad street,
was brought into the municipa! court
this morning charged with assault up
on his fourteen-year-ol daughter.
Bentkowski was arrested by the police
after an investigation made by Mrs.
Mcneil of the police service bureau.
"This man beat his daughter with
a strap" Mrs. Mcneil told Judge Stat
err, 'her body was black and blue"
The abuse of the daughter is said to
have gone on for some time; the par
ish priest called the attention of Mrs.
Mcneil to the case.
Judge Slater, who IS inclined to be
hard on wife-beaters, seems to re-
gard daughter-beaters in another
light.

"a parent has a righr to chastise his
child, and the state has no right to
interfere"
Bentkowski pleaded guilty and was

Polar Rescue Plans
Under Consideration

Oslo. NORWAY - = Rescuers
probably will have to be sent out in
search of Captain Roald Amundsen
and his polar filters.
This view gained ground here today,
one week after the daring aviators
had hoped off from Kings Bay, Spltz-
bergen, in their attempt to conquer
the North pole from the air.
The Norwegian defense ministry,
foremost agency connected with the
considered search, announced its
readiness to furnish aeroplanes and
first class pilots on short notice.
While polar explorers still contend
ed that Amundsen would come back
safely, even his staunchest friends con-
fessed that with no news from him on
this, the seventh day, there was good
ground to begin framing rescue plans.
The Norwegian Aeronautical society
urged the government to hold relief
expedition in readiness; and the gov
eminent let it be known that it was
quite willing to lend its aid in hunt
ing for the daring AmuEdsen, his Am
eriean colleague, Lincoln Ellsworth,
and their companions.
Copenhagen advices also indicated
the Danish governments interest in
possible search, while in some quar-
tiers there was growing inclination to
take advantage of Americas readiness
to aid with the great dirigible, Los
Angeles.
The latter idea had many support
tiers, since it was believed airplanes
available here would be able only to
scout out to the north of Spitzenberg-
en-, a limited distance-an excellent
arrangement if Amundsen's planes
have fallen near base, but fruitless if
any accident occurred close to the
pole.
