DOCTORS CAR
HOME TO ROOST
Special Made-to-Order Car
Stolen from DR.. Murphy
Comes Back Here.
BOUGHT IN CHICAGO

After being stolen for four months,
the specially-built Nash coupe of DR..
S. w. Murphy came home to roost this
week. The car turned it's nose in at
the GreinerNash company this week,
and asked for drivers accessories, and
the garage man in charge almost had
a shock as he recognized the stolen
coupe of the Kenosha physician.
The police department was notifi-
ed with the result that Sergeant Emil
Meissner checked up" on the driver
Of the car, who had declared to the
garage men that he was the owner.
Bought From Sales Company.
Meissner located Eligio Bianchi, Z
North Newell street, the young man
who, entirely unconscious of creating
any spectacular reaction had driven
the car into the Greiner-Nash garage,
where he had asked for a motormeters
gas guage and other articles.
Bianchi told story which the po-
lice say is a straightforward one OF
his purchase of the car. Bianchi said
that he went down to Chicago last
Saturday and made a round Of six
places, looking for good used car. AT
the sixth place, that Of the O'Rourke
Motor Sales company on Michigan
avenue, he saw this particular Nash
car displayed in the show window. 1t
was offered for sale at $1425. He
paid $500 cash, gave a check for $500,
and arranged to pay the balance
month by month, leaving notes for the
sum of $3.50, with the arrangement
that the motorsales insure the car
and charge it up to him, which sum
was added to the purchase price.
None of the serial numbers on the
car were jimmied. The police here
will question officers Of the motor
sales company to see how the car came
into their possession.

CRUSHED WHEN
TRAIN BACKS UP
Anton Pileski, 2S, Killed
Between Train Couplers
On West Tracks.
BODY NEARLY SEVERED
Switchman Dies While On Duty
Start Investigation
at Once.

Anton Pileski, of 766 Pearl street,
ing on the west tracks of the Chicago
and North Western railroad, just west
of Balm avenue, when a train of
freight cars with which he was work
ing backed up without warning while
he was attempting to shut door on
the last car of another train. His
body was crushed between the coup
lers of the two trains and he dropped
on the tracks. George Peterson, 1865
Grover street, under whose direction
Pileski was working as switchman,
called the police ambulance and Of
fcers Long and Tusler responded with
Detective Sergeant Emil Meissner ar
irving, at the same time.
The police found the unconscious
form of the worker on the tracks be-
tween the two cars. He was still
breathing heavily, and he was placed
on a. stretcher and rushed to the Ke-
nosha hospital. On the way to the
hospital, he died, and instead of bring
ing him into that building the re-
mains were taken to the Hansen
morgue. a6
+ eses Start Investigation.
The details of the accident are still
somewhat hazy. According to the
story of the men who were working
with Pileski. he had seen an open
door on the last car of freight train
and walked over to shut it. While in
this act another train backed up on
the same track and before Pileski
was aware that he was in danger at
all his body was between the coup
lers. His hips were crushed to pulp
ard his. abdomen was horribly man
gled. He died of internal injuries.
Officials of the railroad started an
investigation into the causes of the
accident at once, and Coroner Joseph
Friend was notified. The investiga-
ton will continue through. this after
noon while the stories of all of those
who were working near the scene OF
the accident at the time will be heard.
/ Pileskie was a faithful worker and
it was on an act that he thought was
for the best interests of his employer
that he was killed. He is survived by
a wife.

THIRD TIME FOR
ORLOWSKI TODAY
Orlowski Fined S4OO and
Gets An Extra Month
On Liquor Charge.
IS THIRD CONVICTION
TOday's Fine and Sentence Is
Third of a Series OrlOw-
ski Has Faced.

It's getting to be a regular habit
for Kazimer Orlowski, who operates
saloon at 207 Brockett street He
carrie into the municipal court, again
this morning and pleaded guilty to
the charge of possession of moonshine
liquor and was fined $400 and costs
or an alternative of four months in
the county Jail, and in addition an
other month at the expiration of that
period or when the fine is paid.
Kazimer didn't seem a bit phased.
This was his third conviction on the
same charge. When he was first ar
raigned following the last raid on his
place on July 10, he pleaded not
guilty. Even that seems to be a rubber
stamp with Kazimer. And then when
his case came up for its preliminary
hearing today he presented his ans
wer as usual guilty" with the same
nonchalant manner. He signed his re-
quest to plead guilty and even waived
the reading of the charge to him in
court. He had heard that before. He
probably knew every word of it from
memory.
& ~ haDlhIL pays MS HHe-dHQ ne
indicated that that wasn't a difficult
thing to do, he will start serving his
time at once. But if he has depen-
dents he will be let out under the
provisions, of the Huber law and will
be required only to spend his nights
and week-ends in jail. But the prob
lem now presents itself as to what
to do with Orlowski's y,Yace on
Brockett street. There was the sug-
gestion that with a third conviction
the place fulfilled all of the neces-
sary requirements for being "nuis-
ance" as defined in the federal laws
which make it open for a federal pad
lock injunction. Orlowski was fined
$l25 and costs on March. 20, 1922,
and again on December, 81, 1924, he
was fined $500 and costs.
Orlowski will soon ibe deprived of
his permit, and then he will probably
turn his talents in other directions.

Have Exciting
Time at Lake
But Man Arrested Declares That Con-
stable Benedict Had Picked
on the Wrong Bunch.


Lawrence Wittock, now in the
county Jail on the charge of resist
ing an officer. told this morning a
laughing story of the arrest, as seen
from his viewpoint.
He said that he was sitting in the
sand on the shore of Paddock's lake,
when Constable Lee Benedict came
along and cried, What hare you got
there?" Wittock said that he was
holding jug of water between
his knees. "a
II handed over the Jug and the con-
stable smashed it with his billy-club
on the. sand" he said. "Then he said,
Come with me, you're under arrest.
thought it was more of joke than
anything else. He asked if / had a
car and l said yes, but my partner
had the key. The rest of my bunch
four or five, were swimming, and
started in the water to get the key.
The constable thought was running
away and ne came and grabbed me by
the collar. The others came out and
followed US. The constable arrested
the whole bunch and the others
ran away. Nobody struck the con-
stable, not and not any of the
other fellows"
Wittock said that before the con-
stable came there had been another
car with some one holding a wine
jug, and all OF the young fellows had
gathered around, making 6 good deal
of noise. Some one came and COM
planned, stating that they would call
the constable. When Benedict arrived
however, Wittock declared, the real
miscreants had moved off.
Meanwhile the constable it is said,
has reported that four of the young
men beset him and beat him, but that
Wittock was not one of these.
Constable Lee Benedict gave an en-
tirely different version of the story
and his account was corroborated by
Alvin Paddock who declared that he
rant out of his house just in time to
witness the constable beset and
pummeled by the others. He said that
Wittock, who told so innocent a story,
was himself in clinch with the con-
stable and the two we're rolling On. the
ground when he fastened to join them.
The constable said that Wittock was
right about there being water in the
bottle but he said there was another
bottle in Wittock's car containing the
dregs of wine. He said that it was
WittocE's. bunch and none other that
started the fracas.

A collision between the Prairie
avenue street car bus and an auto
mobile driven by Bruno Fiege, 1907
Eighth avenue, occurred this morning
at 1885 o'clock. The bus had stopped
at the Northwestern railroad crossing
on Prairie avenue at the tracks when
Fiege driving a Nash touring car and
coming from the rear, ran into the
bus. The rear tire of the bus was
knocked off and the radiator of the
Nash damaged.

peared in municipal court this morn
ing for his preliminary hearing on the
charge Of selling a bottle of intoxicat-
ing liquor to Police Officer Lue
Behnke on July 2. Leo Vaudreuil,
representing the defendant, asked the
court for permission to have the IL
quid seized by the police officer tested
by another disinterested chemist. The
request was granted and the case was
continued to August 6.
The case of Jay Jones, a contractor
formerly of Oklahoma City, was con-
tinued until August 81 when it came
up Tor nea ing IN muhiclpal court Lnls
morning. Jones is charged with is
suing six worthless checks totalling
s15075. The defense declared that
the man issued the checks with no
criminal intent expecting that in

CAUGHT TRYING
TO TAKE AUTO
Camp Logan Youth Tries
. to Get Away With Ford
But is Nabbed.

Robert Pfankuch, 1143 Milwaukee
avenue, Racine, came to Kenosha in his
Ford touring car on Saturday night to
attend a dance at the beach, and after
frolicking around a bit, sharing Ke-
nosha hospitality, he set about to re-
turn home. He had parked his car on
Washington street on the island and
as he approached the spot where he
had last left his Ford, he noticed a
Ford that looked very much like his
own start riding up the street toward
Middle street. A closer look showed
that it was his.
Pfankuch jumped on the running
board and yelled to the man driving
the car to stop. Officer Charles Ambe
lang heard the commotion and stepped
over to see what it was all about. They
found Louis Sherman, Is, of 5722 s.
Elizabeth street, Chicago, soldier at
Camp Logan, behind the wheel, and
another youth sitting beside him.
Sherman was placed under arrest and
in the excitement his companion dis
appeared. Sherman was brought to
the police Office and booked on the
charge of larceny of an automobile
and spent the weekend in jail.
A search for the missing companion
brought in one suspect, but it is be-
lieved that unless Sherman himself
reveals the identity of his pal he will
not be apprehended.
