Walter Hackett, a young man of pleasing personality, and who at the present time is acting secretary of the Knights of Columbus activities at the Speedway hospital in Chicago, appeared in a series of short stories and proved a real clever entertainer. Not only does Mr. Hackett know how to tell a story, but his expression and real acting assist in "putting them over" with a bang. State Deputy Edward Houlihan, on his first visit to McHenry, made a very favorable impression with the big assemblage by delivering an oration that proved a revelation. He told of the things that the Knights of Columbus were doing and the things already accomplished. He pointed, with a feeling of great pride, to the part the Knights had taken during the World war and how the society is still looking after the welfare of the war vets confined at the various hospitals and the establishment of night schools thruout the entire country. The speaker was accorded a tremendous applause at the conolusion of his address.

P. Barnes in the McHenry county court on Monday morning of this week and, judging from the time consumed at the opening, it will probably be two more days before the hearing can be brought to a close. The entire hearing on Monday was set over to the taking of testimony and listening to arguments on technicalities. Attorney Arthur Buckley of Waukegan, who represented the objectors, brought with him a young engineer from the Lake county metropolis, whp was placed on the stand. He; was the only witness called. Owing to the fact that the arguments could not be completed on that day, the court continued the hearing until tomorrow (Friday) and, from those who appear to be more familiar with the situation, it is not likely that the hearing can be completed in another day. Attorneys representing the village in the case are Charles Langworthy of Chicago, Alford H. Pouse of this village and Arthur J. Mullen of Woodstock. The objectors are represented by Attys. Buckley of Waukegan and D. R. Joslyn and V. S. Lumley of Woodstock. According to rumor, the objectors will probably have two more attorneys at the hearing tomorrow.

It is also understood that should they lose their fight here, the objectors will carry their case to the supreme court. Quite a number of our people made the trip to Woodstock Monday and if is quite likely that more will be on hand tomorrow, when it is expected that there will be something doing, as the old saying goes.
