to a part of the property on the ex-
change basis, that being the part
needed for the widening of Sheridan
road; this left the county still owing
for 24S5.94 square feet IN the civic
center court, for which the county
would exchange that much property in
the present courthouse site.
The remainder is to be purchased
by the city at the average price paid
for property secured in the civic cen
ter court bringing the amount to be
paid By the city to the county as
$6,919.04 for this remainder.
The county board accepted the re-
port with favor but delayed action
until It's next meeting, asking for time
to investigate the need for including
a penalty clause to protect the coun-
ty so that the city would carry out al
parts Of this agreement. There was
a possibility that the question would
be discussed this afternoon,
The board acted favorably on the
proposal to exchange with the city
the deed for the site originally pur-
chased as new courthouse site for
the deed for the one on which the
courthouse was actually built This
is merely carrying out an agreement
made months ago.

Operation Saves
Antioch Woman

Fear of death which lowered over
Mrs. Charles Griffin, an Antioch wo-
man, as a result Of swallowing fish
bone several days ago was dispelled
when DIR. George L. Ross performed
a most delicate and successful opera
ton to remove the bone from the pa
TENTS throat at his Office at Room 200
in the Public Service building yester-
day. Mrs. Griffin with several mem.
bers of her family was camping at
their summer home, at Lake Bluff near
Grass Lake; while eating a piece of
fish, a bone more than an inch long
became lodged in her throat in such a
way that it lay cross-wise in her
throat. 1t caused her great pain and
suffering and physicians to whom she'
had gone told her that an operation
which cut through her neck and
throat and which would be most dam
greous would alone save her life.
DR.. Ross before advising that oper-
alton attempted to reach the bone
through the throat and was success
full, dislodging it without an incision
in the throat. The patient is rapidly
recovering from the operation.

over the street. Lahoduke spent the
weekend in the city jail.
Alex Lahoduke and John A. Johnson
both pleaded guilty to the charge Of
driving an automobile while in
toxicated when arraigned in court
this morning.
Lahoduke was given fine of $50
and costs or forty days, with an ad-
ditional sentence of thirty days at
hard labor when the fine and costs
are paid. As he is single and has no
one dependent upon him for support
he will not be placed out to work
under the Huber law.
Johnson was given a fine of 500
and costs or sixty days with an addi-
tional forty days at hard labor. AS
he has a family dependent upon him
for support, the 'hard labor" sent
ence, Judge told him, will probably
mean that he continue work at the fac
tory where he is employed as usual.
"But you will have to spend your
nights in Jail, as we'll as Sundays,
said Judge Slater.
The charge of unlawful possession
of moonshine which was first placed
against Johnson, was dropped.

THIEVES ESCAPE
WITH RICH GEMS
Holbrook's Jewelry Store
On Wisconsin Street is
Entered.
JIMMY FRONT DOOR
Bold Down Town Burglary
Takes Place During
the Night.

Burglars entered the jewelry store
of Leslie Holbrook at 219 Wisconsin
street sometime during last night OF
early this morning, and stole about
$1,000 worth of goods.
The discovery of the burglary was
not made until this morning. and then
by Mr.. Holbrook himself when he
came down and opened the store. He
notified the police department and
Sergeant of detectives Meissner and
Sergeant Buchanan began a inves-
LEGATION.
Get Goods From Window.
The front door had been jimmied,
and the thief once in the place, had
helped himself to all the articles that
were in sight and that could be easily
carried out.
A nun Der of rings and ring mount
ings had been taken from the window
as well as ladies wrist watches, and
mems watches and from a show case
in the store, a quantity of fountain
pens were taken. Other things that
the jeweler found missing today were
handbags, pearl beads, other strings
of beads and various small articles.
Trays Were in Safe.
Fortunately for the owner. of the
store, all the trays of rings, watches
and other precious articles which are
on display during the day time in the
show cases, had been carefully laid
away in the safe Thursday nuight at
the time of locking up. The burglar
had not been able to work the COM
bination of the safe. and appears, to
have spent very little time trying to
open it, contenting himself with car
rying off everything that was loose
and available.
Holbrook was busy this morning
checking up the loss. 1t is estimated
without a detailed and complete list,
that the loss will amount to at least
$1,000 in value.

Urged to Aid in
Development of Boys

Cleveland - {. - Failure to ac-
cept the responsibility of boyhood to-
day is reproach to Rotarians banded
together on a platform of service
Hart I. Seely, chairman of the Inter
national Committee on Boys Work,
declared in an address recently before
the annual convention of Rotary An
ternational.
Rotary's purpose is to develop the
right kind of citizen so that Rotar-
ians may leave the world a little bet
ter than they found it, Mr.. Seely said,
adding that men of today can do no
greater work than to help the boys
grow into the kind of men they should
be tomorrow.
"What kind of men will they be"
he asked. High minded men, men OF
lofty ideals, men of business integri-
ty, men of high ethical standards in
business? The answer lies with you
The responsibility is yours.
eff the boy is to be success as a
citizen he must have physical
strength; he must have health, and
Rotary advocates clinics where the
boy may find out about himself; play
grounds and swimming pools, where
he may develop his physical nature
and grow into healthy young man.

a success. Not necessarily a college

SUNDAY DANCERS
NOT ARRESTED
But John Fangrat, Opera
tor of Dance Hall, is
Arrested.
HE HAD NO PERMIT

A chance to test the county
dance hall ordinance to see wheth-
er it will hold water doomed up this
morning when it was learned that
John Fangrat, proprietor of the Aqui-
la Resort at Powers Lake had been
arrested on a charge of operating a
dance hall without a permit. The
dance in question took place Sunday
night at Fangrat's hall.
Sheriff Willems had his deputy
there. Arthur Molinaro was the sher-
ifs deputy and as soon as the dancers
began to trip the light fantastic, the
deputy sheriff halted the proceedings
long enough to let all know that the
arm of the law was reaching out to
enforce the dance hall ordinance.
Did Not Arrest Dancers.
The deputy sheriff did not arrest
the dancers although Fangrat insisted
that there was law which would
touch them as we'll. 1t was explained
that the arrest of the proprietor would
be sufficient to test out the ordinance
and he was ordered to report this
morning to answer charge of violat-
ing the county dance hall ordinance.
After the arrest, the dance went on
unmolested. Both the district attor-
ney and the defendant in the case
seemed to welcome the opportunity to
test out the ordinance. 1t is probable
that the case will be carried to Madi-
son to make thorough test out of it.

CITY EMPLOYEES
TAKE INSURANCE
Group Insurance Adopted
by 100 Employees of City
of KenOsha.
MEET AND ORGANIZE

Something new for employees of the
city of Kenosha was announced today
when it was made public that group
insurance had been taken out by 1910
city employees. In order to do this
it was necessary to form mutual
benefit and insurance association OF
the employees interested, which or
ganization, in keeping with the provi-
sions of the insurance, will pay part
of the premium. The policy is placed
with the Travellers Insurance company
and calls for $1,000 on each person in
cluded in the group.
Employees Pay Premium.
The insurance will not cost the city
anything, inasmuch as the entire
amount of the premium is to be paid
one way or another by the employees,
The organization was necessary in or
der to authorize the city to with told
meet payments on the policies under
the group plan. The remainder of the
premiums will be paid either individu-
ally blythe members of the association
or by assessments, or by other meth
DDS used to raise funds.
The organization elected the follow
ing directors and officers: Directors {:
Capt Emil Claussen, Lew Heller, P. j.
Hurtgen, Henry Miller, Mrs. Meyers,
A. ]. Albers and C. M. Osborn; officers /:
president, C. NJ Osborn; vice-presi-
dent, P. J. Hurtgen; secre treas
urer, Assistant Fire Chief Jacobs.

DIDN'T BUY HER
ASTICK OF GUM
Wife Starts Divorce Ac-
ton Against the
'Mean Man"
KICKED HER OUT OF BED
Sore Because She Wouldn't
Drink Beer with Him,
She SAYS.

The divorce complaint in the case of
Belongia VS. Belongia reads like a
rare document. Mona Melongia who
was married to Wesley Melongia No
vember IL, 1924 at Waukeg4n, is the
plaintiff in the action, and the COM
plant in the case has just been filed
in the circuit court by her attorney,
Lewis Powell.
1t seems that on January 10, 1925,
Wesley refused to go to work because
he was disguised with his wife" and
he then scolded her because she had
spent ten cents for hair pins, and
charged her with other extravagances.
He Must Be Tease.
She had 500 worth of fancy work
upon which she had expended much
time and energy, and this unusual hus-
band took the articles and hid them
away, Gust to annoy" the plaintiff al
legs.
Which reminds one of the lines Of
Lewis Carroll:
Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes,
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teazes."
Here is another paragraph from the
complaint:
plaintiff and defendant lived in a
basement, an unhealthy place to live
in according to the police, during
their entire married life"
She forgave him, says the complaint;
and thereupon three or four weeks
went by without any climaxes. But
then one day she unfortunately asked
him for some money with which to
buy herself some underwear, where
upon he flew into rage"
Whether gum is a necessity or a
nuisance may be debatable matter
to some persons, but the complaint
takes positive attitude in this mat
ter.
Defendant" says the complaint, "re-
fused to allow the plaintiff the COM
mon necessities of life, and during
their married life he did not allow
her so much as a package of gum"
The climax of this matrimonial ex
pertinent appears to have come on
March II, 1925. On this day, it is al
legged, Belongia became drunk, and he
became so angry because she would
not share the beer with him, that he
kicked her out of bed" If Wesley
Belongia was in possession of the
beer, as the inference is, there will
be many thirsty souls who will doubt
this latest charge.
