The McHenry PlaindealeiV v ^B^tanry, Illinois. 1 Gentiemea--I have had irooglit my attention your article entitled "Youngsters Steal Ford," appearing in your issue of October 21, 1920. After reading the same I am convinced that you must have been imposed upon this article. In view of the fact that the parents of the boys mentioned in the article are highly respected, honest people of Chicago and ipore or less identified with property interests and affairs in McHenry .county, and also in view of the further fact that the grandparents of the Tebbetts boy referred to in the article are highly respected, honest people of McHenry, it seemed to me to be a duty devolving upon me to give~you the correct^ facts regarding this transaction, that your paper might, if it cared to^do so, publish the correct statement and thereby relieve the humiliation and shame your present article imposes upon innocent people. I was the attorney for the parents Of these bdys and appeared in the boys' behalf at Woodstock. I was in McHenry visiting on the day following the alleged taking of^he automobile and had a chance to and did thoroly investigate the situation. I speak not from the position of one biased by intelrest, but from the position of one who has made a thoro examination, knows the truth of the statement and feels that even in the face of the circumstances in the case that justice ought to be done to the boys and to their parents. The following is a correct statement:-- Henry Tebbetts is a grandson of G. B. Hardy of McHenry. He is a student in a Chicago high schopl. For a considerable time he has made a practice of spending Saturdays and Sundays with his gfcuidparents in McHenry. * • Clarence Redwanz is <the son ef Mr. and Mrs. RedWanz of Chicago, who are engaged in the real estate business. The father of this boy is an invalid and has been sick for some time. The Redwanz people have a summer home north of Johnsburg, where this boy, also a Chicago high school student, spends some of his week ends. These two boy» became acquainted in Chicago high school athletics. They met on the Saturday night in question in McHenry purely by accident. The Tebbetts boy knew tw« girls. living at Johnsburg, who were attending the movies in McHenry on this particular night, and after the meeting of the two boys the Tebbetts boy induced a young fellow to go into the movies an<).bring the two girls out, -which he did. * About this time the man who was the owner of the Ford car drove up and left the car near where the boys were. Tebbetts had a slight acquaintance with the owner of this runabout. When Mr. Knox, the owner, went into the theatre and the girls had come out, it was decided between these boys that they should take the girls home to Johnsburg and they concluded that they could use Knox's car and get back before he would be out of the movies. With this thought in mind ityp started out and on the way to J<yf*- burg a very heavy fog set in, wfikh somewhat delayed their trip. They stopped a short time at the home of the girls. The plan of the boys did not work out as they expected. The owner of the car came out of the theatre and missed his property. A hurried Investigation was made, -resulting in the girls being called to the phone, and after some talk they admitted that the boys were there with this Ford. The boys left immediately for McHenry for'the purpose of "facing the music." Coming out of Johnsburg, however, on account of tfie dense fog, the car ran off of the roadway and stepped in a ditch. They were unable to get it out and, actuated by fear and alarm, went to the boys home, stayed all night, coming into McHenry the next day and explaining the situation. * No one will dispute that this was a very unwise thing to do, but does it justify calling' these boys thieves? It seems to me that the facts in this case do not warrant the spirit of the article appealing in your paper and I am submitting these facts to you that you may do justice in the premises, If you have the inclination. Yours truly, wwiv Hf IBflf flffTi AS-TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS ^ OF OUR EXCHANGES JnlW.- Charles P. Moltbf**. ' The JeBy Sixteen Mrs, George Bdfhr acted as hostess to the members of the Jolly Sixteen club at her Pearl street home last Thursday afternoon.

Postmaster Henry Earie of Hebron has purchased a cement block building in that village and expects soon to move the postoffice therein. One day's catch of carp by John Schwarts, who makes a business of seining this specie of fish, netted about twelve tons. The hauls were made in Fo* river near Cary. The Lake Geneva, Wis., News has already made an announcement that beginning January 1, J921, the subscription rates to that paper will be increased from $2<00 to 12.50 per year. The Atlantic-Pacific Tea company list week sent a representative to Barrington for the purpose of locating a store building wherein they might be able to start business in that village. Eleven thousand men are now in training at the Great Lakes Naval Training station near Waukegan. During' the war approximately 60,000 men were stationed there almost continually. John P. Sughrue, conductor on a passenger train operating between Chicago and Crystal Lake, fell at Des Plaines on his return trip to Crystal Lake last Sunday and suffered a fractured arm. The Nippersink Shipping association, which haa its headquarters at Spring Grove, has taken in over $32,060 for live stock, shipped to the Chicago market during the past spring and summer. Edward Peters, who cjuring the past doze/5 years has been the village marshal at Barrington, announced to his friends last week that he is now a benedict. Miss Johanna Rohlmeier is the lucky bride. The Farmers' Qo-operative creamery at Lyons, Wis., was opened to patrons yesterday morning. The plant was opened with a celebration participated in by stock holders, patrons and the general public. Ten "good roads" boosters of La- Salle county stopped at Marengo one day last week while on a tour of investigation of road conditions, in Illinois and Wisconsin. They were headed for Madison. { A HJklfewe'en social, given in the Hebron town hall by the Woman's club of that village one evening recently, netted $131.71. The sum was turned over to the Hebron cornet band and wfll be used in the purchase ef a large bass horn. The sixteenth annual chrysanthemum exhibition of the "Lake Geneva Gardners' and Foremen's association was held in horticultural hall in that city on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The display was one of the largest and most varied ever seen in that city. Eight Barrington youths were rounded up after their Hallowe'en fun and asked to appear before a local police magistrate, where, after being given good, sound advice, they arranged to make restitution in cases where property had been damaged by them. For the fiust time in many years, Hebron has a resident attorney in the person of Jerry A. Ham, who has just been notified of his admission to the bar. His law business, for the present at least, will be a side issue with him as he is now engaged as principal of the Hebron school. G. W. Conn, Sr., of Hebron has just cast his fourteenth ballot for president of the United States. He is now past eighty-six years of age and with the exception of his first ballot, which went to James Buchanan, a Democrat, his votes have all been cast in favor of Republican candidates. By a resolution as passed by the Woodstock city council last week,, the A. J. Olson Creamery company is given permission to use a small portion of E. Jackson street. A railway switch now under construction, was the cause of the unusual request as made by the creamery eoncern. Ellery Smith, nine-ye^r-old stepson of Ernest Bartelt of Marengo, was almost instantly killed and Mr. Bartelt had several ribs broken and was severely bruised and shaken up when a Ford coupe in which they were riding was struck by a passenger train in that city last Sunday morning. Over Grayslake way tile farmers appear to be satisfied with the price as set for November and, altho they feel that there will be a ten per cent spread during the month, they apparently are willing to stick it out, as, in their opinion, the price of milk at this time would be much lower were it not for their organization. .The Crystal Lake Herald served up the election returns last Tuesday evening in true metropolitan style.

Above mentioned. . ASK FOR ELECTRIC SERVICE Fox Riv*r Property Owner* Petition * Public Service Co. A petition, asking the Public Service company to extend its lines to include the territory along Fox river south of McHenry, has been filed with that company and the signers are now anxiously awaiting a reply to same. Farm owners as well as those owing summer homes along the river have long since desired electric service, but not until a short time ago, when sig natures to the above petition were secured, was any definite action taken towards securing such service and now that the ball has finally been started to rolling great interest is being manifested by everyone concerned. According to current reports the Public Service company is not particularly anxious to make the extension at this time, as it would probably be several years before any returns could be expected from the investment. It has, however, been suggested that some private concern make arrangements for the construction of the line and then rent the service from the Public Service company, but whether or not the Chicago concern would listen to such a proposition remains a conjecture. No matter what the outcome may be, the signers of the petition anxious for the service and the chances are 100 to 1 that they will never be satisfied until same is granted them. If they do not get it next year, they intend, so we are, informed, to keep on asking until their wishes are finally granted. That such service would be a fine thing for the property owners south of town is not to be questioned and, further, the service should also go a long ways towards stimulating the sale of lots along that litoNt our beautiful stream. • f . New,Electrical Shop H« R. Levine, the electrical contractor, last Saturday evening opened an electrical shop in the Jacob Justen block in Centerville, the shop being the second of the kind to be opened here, H. E. Buch conducting the other in the Heimer block on the same street. Mr. Levine has placed in stock a fine assortment of electrical fixtures and accessories and a workshop in the rear of the display room has been equipped so as to enable him to take care of all repair work that may be brought to him. Hie shop attracted considerable attention on the opening night and the owner received many compliments upon its neatness.

Hie 06- jections will be heard by County Judge Charles P. Barnes. It has only recently come to light that there is considerable objection to the proposed improvement and from the information we are able to gather the objectors, numbering twenty-fiv^ or more, have engaged attorneys to represent them next Monday. Atty. A. H- Pouse, who represents the local board of improvement, has also been granted permission to enge assistant legal council and, taking everything into consideration^ it looks like a battle. However, everyone who has the interests of the village at heart is hoping, that an amiable settlement may be preached rjext Monday which will insure the village of the improvement. The outcome of Monday's hearing will be watched with a great deal of interest by our citizens.. LOOKS LIKE PERMANENT HOMES Chieagoans Expect to -Spend Time at Summer H< Thai Chicagoans now owing summer homes around Pistakee lake and bay are expecting to make their season's stay longer in the future if not establish their permanent homes there is seen by the fact that many of the places which have been rebuilt during the past two seasons have been supplied with all conveniences, including heating systems. v. Thousands of dollars have been spent on summer homes at Pistakee during the past season and still the improvements go os. Next season, according to present indications, will be even a bigger season in the way of improvements than the one just passed and it really looks as if some of the owners are planning on making a six or eight months' stay next year. Quite a number of the summer homes around this beautiful body of water are now equipped -with hdating plants and right now there 'are several families still enjoying tfcKr places here. It won't surprise me If the coming of the ne# permanent highway between McHenry and Chicago will mean that Pistakee will be the permanent residence of a number of home owners there," is the manner in which our enthusiastic informant put it to us one<lay this week and we sincere!# FLASH BOARDS REMOVED River Dam In Water Drsir The flash boards in the Fox river dam below McHenry has been removed, causing a drop in the water at from seven inches at the mouth of the stream to three feet St the dam. * On account of recent rains the river ftv this time is considerably higher than usual, but the removal of the flash boards at thi« time gives one an idea what our river w^ufd look like without the dam, and still there are many of our people who apparently show little pr interest in (nor beautiful stream. • ^ While it is true that a few have responded with donations in the past few weeks, a great deal more financial aid must come during the winter months if the dam is to serve its purpose next year. As stated-in these columns a few weeks ago, the Fox River Improvement association has considerable indebtedness and this, together with the fact that the dam is sadly in neeg of repairs places the association in a very Unpleasant predicament ahd the only way in which the present situation may be relieved is "thru financial assistance of those who own property along the course of the stream as well as Pistakee and Fcpc lakes and the business men tf McHenry. We are informed that a last effort is to be made by . the sssociation to raise, . by. popular subscription, - an amount- which will be sufficient to pay up the indebtedness as well as make the repairs on the dam. #This, we are told,-will be made in the form of a letter which will contain a report of the fmancial conditions together with an appeal for aid. Every property owner along the river and around the lakes as well as those of our business men who have not as yet assisted the cause will be mailed one of these letters and it is the sincere hope of the officers of the association that these letters^ will given the attention merited. , You can spare the officer considerable work by malting" your contribution now. Step into the Fox River Valley Slate bank or mail your cheek to them. Mr. Holly, the cashier, who is also one of the officers of the Fox River .
