DIEDRICH NEAR VOLO lightning Bab Strikm Flames Spread to Is Made Horn fin-- Within an hour, after a bolt of lightning had struck the barn en the Jacob P. Diedrich farm, six miles east of McHenry and one mile north of Volo, on Monday evening of this week, the barn, house and wood silo, together with most of their contents, lay a mass of ruins. The crash coming during a severe rain and wind storm utterly spoiled whatever chances there might otherwise have been of saving at least a portion of the destroyed property. The reflection of the fire on the skies brought scores of neighbors and nearby farmers to the scene ofHhe conflagration in spite of the severe storm that was raging, but there was nothing that human hands could have possibly accomplished that would have saved either of the two buildings and, according to Mr. Diedrich and some of the volunteers who were on hand shortly after the fire was discovered, they were lucky indeed in having been able to save a portion of the household effects and clothing. The crash that caused the destructive blaze came shortly after seven o'clock. Mr. Diedrich had just arrived home from Volo and had driven his auto into a wagon shed when the downpour of rain came. Then came the crash. MI was standing along side of my car," Mr. Diedrich told a Plaindealer reporter, "when the crash came. It sort of stunned me for a few minutes and while I did not see the bolt I felt sure that it had struck the barn. Opening the sliding door to the wagon shed enough to give me a view of the barn I watched the place a few minutes before going to the house. After a minute or two in the house I went out to the barn to make sure that no damage had been d^ne. Everything seemed alright. I went back to the house and had been there less than five minutes when I looked out and discovered the barn to be ablaze." Mr. Diedrich lushed out to the burning building, but so intense was the heat that he did not dare enter. The bolt, from appearances, struck the south end of the roof and from there went direct to the basement, where it killed two horses. Besides the horses, the barn's contents, all of which were consumed, consisted in part of fifty tons of new alfalfa hay, 200 bushels of oats, a quantity of small grain, wagons, small farm tools and harness. The building was 30x56 feet, a new addition to the original structure having been erected only last summer. The house was. a story and a half structure and, while most of its contents were consumed by the flames, the articles which weep saved were so badly damaged by the rain that they will be found of little service. Kind neighbors and friends were on hand bright and early Tuesday morning and when the Plaindealer representative arrived on the scene on Tuesday afternoon be found the men just as busy as they could be. A floor was being laid in the wagon she<f which is to provide a temporary home for the family." Another old shed was being repaired and made into a temporary cow and horse barn. These temporary quarters will have to do until a house and barn can be erected and, according to Mr. Diedrich, this work will be started just as soon as carpenters are obtainable. The family spent Monday night with the nearest neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. George Miller, who reside a short distance west, but on the opposite side of the road. The next day the members of the family went to take up their temporary nomes with nearby relatives and friends. Mr. Diedrich purchased the farm a year ago last November aiM had gone into debt on same and the Now suffered on Monday night is a most severe one for him. Insurance was carried on both house and barn with a company represented by Simon" Stoffel of this village J New Bus Line A saw bus service has been instituted between McHenry, Johnsburg, Pistakee Bay and intermediate points, bus leaving McHenry every three hours daily. First bus leaves McHenry at 6:00 a. m. Reasonable rates and good service • guaranteed.

V ' BAND CONCERTS ASSURED Borden Park to Be Cleaned and Band Erected That McHenry is to be given at least fbur, if not more, open air concerts was assured -last week i^tten it became known that those who had interested themselves in the project to such as extent as to go out with a subscription li3t had been successful in'their endeavor to secure enough money to Warrant the building of a band stand. The property in Centerville, owned by the Borden Milk company and which in recent years has been known as Borden's park, will be the site for the proposed stand and it is here that the band concerts are to be held. A few years ago, it will be remembered, an attempt was made to clean up this spot and transform same into a park, but the project was never carried out. However, it looks at this time as if a sufficient amount of interest has been aroused to see the proposed plan brought to a reality. According to our information the cleaning of the park as well as the erectien of the band stand will be effected by a number of bend men «nd others who have volunteered their services and it is expected that some day next week will be set aside to do up the job. With plenty of help the cleaning of the park and erection of the band stand can be accomplished in one day, our informant told us. Just what day will be set aside for the work had not been decided as we go to press. Band rehearsals are now being held every Thursday evening with Wm. Sherman of Genoa Junction, Wis., as leader. The band now has a membership of fifteen with the prospects that this number will be increased to twenty within a very short time. According to one of the members, the band should be able to make its first public appearance about tUs last week in July. St. Mary's Palish News The new program of services, which began at St. Mary's for July and August, seems to prove popular. The church was filled with early worshippers at seven o'clock last Sunday and many resorters were in evidence at the niqe o'clock services. Both the pastor and Farther Harney of Villa Maria at Pistakee Bay, who will have charge of the nine o'clock mass every Sunday, pleased the people with short services. To judge from last Sunday's collection, which is reported to be three times greater than ordinarily, the new summer accommodations at St Mary's are in favor with the people. Summer services, July and August, early mass, 7:00 a. m.; resorters' mass, 9:00 a. m.; lata Jow mass, 10:15 a. m. Casino Singing Club Coming On Sunday, 4ply 17, the Casino, a club of forty men, will sing at St. Mary's church at 9:00 a. m. This organization made its first appearance in McHenry at the opera house and public park a few years ago. At that time they scored favorably and their wonderful singing was a revelation. July 16 and 17 they will be the guests of Chas. Hollenbach at Pistakee Bay. Father Berthold, who is intimate with the leaders of the Casino, has secured the appearance of these famous singers at St. Mary's church for Sunday after next. E. I. DuPont De Nemours A Cm+--A Greet Display of Colors What is without exception tha most beautiful line of wood colors and finishes ever shown in this city, is the DePont line now on exhibition in window display of Engeln's hardware store. The apparent value of proAicts of a great paint house are here clearly demonstrated by the beautiful results obtained on the ordinary pine wood surface, in comparison with other high priced woods. In perfect harmony with these finishes are also shown the flat wall and decorative colors, combined with a system of interior wall decoration, surpassing in its beauty and simplicity of application. It is on this class of work that the DuPont great line stands alone and has never been surpassed by any paint or color manufacturer. DuPont paint covers 400 sq. feet, two coats, and leaves the surface In good condition for repainting and will wear five years. ^ Palatine Next Sunday Next Sunday the Palatine baseball team will be in McHenry as opponents to the local outfit. According to reports, Palatine this year boasts of a first-class ball club and of late has been going great. McHenry, too, is improving with every game and with Steinmetz and Duppler forming the battery it now takes a good team to trim us. Game called at 2:30 p. m» gtorm Stopped Service Monday Night The severe rain and electrical storm which visited this section shortly after seven o'cloekJast Monday evening put our lighting system out of commission for two hours or more and as a result prevented the Empire theatre management from putting on the evening show. The service was re stored about tan o'clock that VM9 EVERTS ATTRACT IMMENSE CROWDS ALONG THE RIVER AND LAKES Fourth of July Program Aa Piwhltd by Fox River and Lakes impNvement Aasn. Highly Eajoyed The Fourth of July celebration held in this, the Fox river and lakes summer resort district, under the suq^ees of the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association, proved a big suecass. The officers and the various committee members, who worked so faithfully in making the big event possible, are more than pleased with the splendid co-operation which had been extended by the people of the district In general. The festivities began at noon last Saturday, when three huge auto buses carrying the Chicago public school band arrived in McHenry and proceeded to the C. & N. W. depot to meet the 1:17 Chicago train. After playing two selections and parading the railroad yard grounds the musicians again boarded the buses and were carried thru the village, where concerts were giv^n in the business sections of town. From here they left for Antioch. Altho The Plaindealer has not received an official report on the various races and events which transpired, during the balance of the afternoon and evening as well as those of Sunday and Monday, we are informed that the program was followed out in accord with that printed in the booklets which were so generously distributed thruout the district Saturday. Big crowds were gathered everywhere and the various boat' events proved highly interesting and were enjoyed by thousands. The Plaindealer had hoped' to bf able to print a full list of the winners of the various events, but we must leave this matter go until next ^eek, when we hope to * give our readers a complete report of all the Fourth of July doings. The officers would be pleased to see a trifle more activity among the holders of ticket books on the Evinrude motor and boat and Dodge touring car. The winners of'these beautiful prizes are to be decided at Justen's hotel in this village at 3:00 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, July 17. NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS In Matter of New Community High 8chool Building Nothing new appertaining to the proposed new community high school building has developed since last week. However, the writer has been assured by Dr. A. I. Froehlich, president of the community high school board, that matters will begin to take form very shortly. On invitation 6t the local school board, Ralph E. Abell, an Elgin architect, has been up for a talk with the McHenry school officials and just as soon as a meeting can be arranged it is hoped that Mr. Abell, County Superintendent of Sehools A. M. Shelton and a lawyer, especially well posted on matters of this kind, will come to McHenry, where they will meet with the school board and go over the entire situation carefully and thoroly. After this meeting a few other preliminary matters will have to be disposed of and then everything will be in readiness for the special election. No date for holding said election has been set as yet, altho the members of the school board are very desirous to have matters adjusted so that a vote may be taken within the course of the next few weeks. More Cement for Lake County Charles E. Russell, Lake county commissioner of highways^ has completed his plans for six and one-half miles of cement road and had them forwarded to Springfield for approval. Under this plan one and one-half MONDAY NIGHT STORM Eight Large Telephone Poiea Dow n By Wind One of the season's most destructive storms broke over this vicinity shortly after seven o'clock last Monday evening and as a result of same considerable damage was done. While the damage within the village limits was very slight, the blowing down and up-rooting of big trees which stood in the path of the storm were evidence of the wind's velocity. The Illinois Bell Telephone company suffered the greatest damage, eight of their big poles, carrying forty wires, being broken down at a point near the Peter Diedrich home cm the Pistakee Bay road just east of Rosedale. Repair men, employed by the company, were on the job early Tuesday morning and before evening all of the damage had again been repaired. Over on the Volo road a large corn crib on the Nick Weingart place was carried several feet and thrown into the highway. A little further on an old wood silo on the farm of Nick M. Bowers was slightly damaged. Corn and grpin also suffered greatly as the result of the heavy rain and wind. Boat Excursions * Alice," the finest motor boat afloat, will make excursions thru the chain of lakes to Wilmot, Wis., taking in the famous lotus beds, which will be in bloom this week.

Quite a number of our people took in the Fourth of July celebration at Woodstock on Monday and declare it to have beOn the best ever attem{rted in that city. The parade at ten in tiie morning was the largest and prettiest of the kind ever witnessed in McHenry county, while the horse races, ball game and carnival at the fair grounds during the afternoon furnished amusement a plenty for the big crowd in attendance. The appearance upon omr atreets and In business places of men and women attired only in bathing suits has been the cause of more or less complaint being registered by some of our citizens. Officer Walsh has warned several against the practice and arrests are sure to follow if his warning is not heeded. No one deprives anyone of the use of our river for bathing purposes, bnt our and business houses are not the above. His many friends sincerely hope that a rest of a week will «mble him to resume his activities on the road. Why Not Have Electrician Here?
