The Flora DeVoss Theatrical company closed its fall and winter season at Richmond on Tuesday evening of this week. Four little squirrels are being mothered by a cat at Hebron. The little animals were found on the ground in a woods near Hebron after John Wagner of that place had felled a tree. He took them to his home.

The Wauconda show house will be reopened on April 23 and will be under the personal management of Mr. Ashford. Baseball fans at Crystal Lake are making an effort to place aclub in the field tiie coming season. Petitions are now being circulated among the business men and fans in the hope that enough encouragement is forthcoming to allow the promoters to go ahead with their plans for a first-class team. The board of local improvements of Crystal Lake has passed a resolution providing for the installation of a system of paving on the north side district of that city; also a part of other streets on the south side of the railroad tracks. According to estimates as already provided, the improvement will cost from $8.00 to flO.OO per front foot. John Johnson, a Crystal Lake farmer, arrested on Wednesday of last vmek and brought before Justice Brown of Woodstock on a charge of beating his wife, was assessed a fine of $100 an4 costs and then placed under $1,000 peace bonds. His wife testified at the hearing that her husband had been in the habit of coming home intoxicated. John Davis of Crystal Lake has purchased the James A. Lowe farm on Fox river, near Burton's Bridge, and work will begin at once in turning same into a new summer resort subdivision. The tract has a river frontage of approximately three quarters of a mile and only the river front will be subdivided, giving the owners about sixty very choice lots. The city of Marengo has purchased the Ace motorcycle, formerly the property of F. P.. Nester, motorcycle policeman. Now if the city is successful in getting a rider for the bike it will not be healthy for motorists to do any speeding while passing thru that city. Every town and city in the country, as a matter of added safety to the public, should have a motorcycle policeman. Milburn Bros., who have the contract for the construction of the cement road between Woodstock and Harvard and from Harvard to Big Foot, have already started activities for the season. According to the program as outlined by contractors, the stretch between Harvard and Big Foot will be the first to be completed while it is also the hope of the road men to have the stretch between Harvard and Woodstock completed this falL A large barn on the Delos Wright farm, located norths of Marengo, was consumed by fire on Tuesday afternoon of last week when the structure was struck by a bolt of lightning. The barn with all its contents, including twenty-six head of cattle, one hone, several pigs, a large quantity of hay, grain and machinery, lies in ruins. The machine house and gran ary were also destroyed. Mr. Wright esthnates his loss at between $15,000 and $20,000, the loss being only partially covered by insurance. Matrons of the A. J. Olson milk plant of Woodstock, now under the supervision of Weiland Bros., are again making deliveries after a five days4 strike. According to an agreement as reached between the patrons and distributors, the dairymen will receive the full association price during the next three months for as much milk plus 25 per cent as was delivered during the third quarter of 192ft. For the surplus the regular butter fat price will prevail, the fanner taking back the skim milk. From July 1 to Sept. 30 the full association price will be given. Marengo has an opportunity of landing a new industrial enterprise. The McGill Metal Products company of Chicago, manufacturers of conductore' ticket punches, automatic change makers and other metal items, has sent representatives to the McHenry county city to open negotiations for the removal of their plant there. The company is about to expand and is asking Marengo people to purchase $2Q,000 worth of their first mortgage seven per cent bonds. The borrowed money is to be used for the purchase of a building and otherwise take care of an enlarged business. The annual pay roll of the concern now totals thwft tfi&OOft . • vv • • v..

BROADWAY BEACH BENEFIT $ARD PARTY All arrangements have been completed for the public card party which is to be sponsored by the members of the Riverview camp, R. N. A., at the K. of C. hall on Wednesday evening of next week, April 23. The ladies have been successful in their solicitation of prizes and as a result thirty-four favors will be given away. Unless all signs fail the party is sure to develop into the biggest of the kind ever attempted in McHenry and in view of the fact that the advance sale of tickets has been quite encouraging the hall should be well filled on this occasion. The prizes, or at least most of them, are now on display in the window at the Central meat market where they are drawing more than a little attention. Cards will be followed by an hour or two at dancing, for which music will be provided by the newly organized local orchestra, known as the Novelty Five. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to be present. The entire net proceeds of the event will be turned into the fund which is being created for the beautifying and improvement of Broadway beach on Fox river. PHEASANTEGGS NOW BEING DISTRIBUTED Game Warden John A. Engeln informs The Plaindealer that he now has on hand a limited amount of pheasant eggs which he is distributing among those depiring same. Every lover of hunting will, no doubt, be interested in knowing that these eggs are now available and many are expected to take advantage of the op portunity of making applications for same. This is the first time that these eggs have been available in this district of the state, but in other places where the scheme has been tried out the results have been most encouraging. If interested you are kindly asked to get in touch with Mr. Engeln. LOCAL ORCHESTRA HAS I'^WANY ENGAGEMENTS Frank Cans, Jr., who is now the director and manager of the Fox River Four, a local orchestra, informs us that he is now booking many engagements and from present indications the coming season is almost certain to prove the biggest and most successful ever enjoyed by the organization. Mr. Gans has just received a new violinoddity, whil^ Mr. Kent, the saxophone artist, has also received an additional instrument. The orchestra is growing in popularity with every engagement and is now recognized as one of the leading organizations of the kind in McHenry county. t LIQUOR CASES SOON PETITION PRESENTED ASKS FOR SPECIAL STATE'S ATTORNEY SETS APRIL PETITIONJUDGE SHURTLEFF 19 TO CONSIDER PIERCE TO ACT [Woodstock Sentinel] Owing to the inability of Attorney R. K. Welsh of Roekford to act as "friend of the court" and present facts on the petition for a special state's attorney to prosecute liquor violations in McHenry county, following the raids recently made by Sheriff Edinger, Judge Shurtleff, in circuit court Thursday, continued the hearing to Saturday, April 19, and appointed Attorney William L. Pierce of Belvidere to act in place of Judge Welsh. The petition presented to the court with the signers follows: "To the Honorable Edward D. Shurtleff or to any of the Judges of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit: WHEREAS, Certain complaints have been entered, arrests made and investigations had by the grand jury chosen and selected for the January term of the circuit court of McHenry county, Illinois, 1924, and indictments returned on such complaints against various persons by said grand jury for the violation of the prohibition laws and for the violation of the criminal laws of the state of Illinois concerning slot machines; and WHEREAS, Witnesses who appeared before the said grand jury concerning the aboye mentioned in dictments have reported that the present state's attorney, V. S. Lumley, did attempt, before said grand jury, to defend the parties named in said indictments rather than to pros ecute them; and * WHEREAS, From the action and demeanor of said state's attorney the undersigned believe that he is interested in the defense of the defendants named in said indictments. NOW, THEREFORE, We, the undersigned, believe that the present state's attorney, V. S.

The line will be operated for the benefit of not only its own patrons, but will also accommodate the residents of the above named subdivision. It will make no stops within the corporate limits of the city of McHenry. However, its first stopping place will be at the Lasch cottages and will from that point give service to residents along that part of the river as far north and including Dr. Carl Strueh's health resort. The river along this shore is quite well populated and the promoters of the new line feel that the venture will prove successful. DISTRICT NO 15« TO ELECT SATURDAY I understand that an anonymous letter or pamphlet, sponsored by the people's party or at least some of the members of the party running for city offices, was going the rounds the evening before election and election day. As this paper was distributed to and shown to only the "favored" ones, I did not see it. t---- I understand that this paper cast reflections on the present city council, of which I am a member. I demand that it be published so that all'of the citizens may know for themselves what a "horrible" condition exists. I also demand that the parties responsible for this paper and the "whispering campaign" carried on by them publish over their signatures the charges made by them. If Jthe present council is responsible for the "graft, corruption and terrible waste of money," as charged in the last campaign, something should be done about it at once. I am going to mention one item referred to in the pamphlet in regard to payment of $100.00 due Mr. Lumley for services rendered the icity in the Revor-Wattles street opening case. This matter was one carried over from Dr. Chamberlin's term as mayor seven years ago, before I was elected to the council, and was contracted by Dr. Chamberlin personally as president of the village board of McHenry. I mention this one item because it shows the inconsistency of some of the parties concerned. I will answer any of the charges mentioned if the parties have the back bone to publish them over their signatures and assume the responsibility for them. I have beer a member of the city council of McHenry for six years and I have never missed a meeting or dodged a roll call and if conditions are such as charged I demand an investigation. I would suggest that the community club or some other responsible organization appoint a committee to work in conjunction with the regular auditing committee appointed by the council at the end of each fiscal year. I would suggest that these committees audit the city books for the past year and also examine the auditor's reports of previous years and that the findings be published. It is high time that the "whispering campaigns" in McHenry be stopped. The fact that the parties responsible for the anonymous pamphlets waited until it was too late to answer them before distributing them and. then putting them in the hands of only a few speaks for itself. I think it is the duty of the citizens to attend the council meetings. The council meetings, all city books and papers and in fact everything pertaining to public matters always have been and always will be open to the public. If the council is working for the interests of the people, back them up; if the council does otherwise, present your criticisms and complaints direct to them. Signed, John R. KnogC, BASEBALL MEETING HERE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT WELLS IS RE ELECTED DEFEATS CHAMBERLIN BY TOTAL OF EIGHTY ONE VOTES PEOPLE'S TICKET SUCCESSFUL IN THE ELECTION OF FOUR ALDERMEN--ALSO CLERK Running true to form, McHenry staged another spirited municipal election on Tuesday of this week and in so doing succeeded in smashing all previous records, in point of number of votes cast. This year's toM surpassed by thirty-four votes the high mark of last spring, the total vote cast having been 685. Of this number ward three registered 239, while wards one and two each contributed 22S ballots. As the result of the election Dr. D G. Wells was re-elected as mayor over Dr. R. G. Chamberlin by sixtyone vot^p. The farmer lost the second ward, but won the first and third, the latter giving him a very handsome majority. In fact, this ward must be given the credit of putting him over. In contrast to the splendid run made by Dr. Wells, the balance of the Progressive ticket did not fare nearly as well, as only two of the aldermanic candidates of that party having been elected, the other four, along with the clerk, going down in defeat. The vote for the mayorship by wards was as follows: 1st 2nd 3rd Total Dr. R. G. Chamberlin 89 139 65 293 Dr. D. G. Wells.... .123 78 173 374 For City Clerk Waj. G. Schreiner.. .101 60 113 264 R. F.

The annual meeting of the 'city council, according to our information will take place on Tuesday evening, April 29, after which the newly elected officers will be sworn in. Work at the McHenry community high school building has been moving along more rapidly during the past week or more and things now begin to look as if the structure would be ready for occupancy at the beginning of next fall's term. At the present time there are several gangs of workmen on the job, the masons, carpenters, roofers and electricians. The steam fitters and plumbers are expected to gd onto the job either this week or no later than the fore part of next. The walls of the big structure are now completed and the masons, during the past week or more, have been engaged in the construction of the inside walls and partitions. Altho the greater part of the mason contract has now been completed, the men have still considerable work ahead before they will leave the seene. The roof has been boarded over and is now practically ready for the top dressing. The foundation for the big boilers has also been completed and there is nothing to hinder the steam filters from going to work at any time. All told, the progress made on the structure during the past two weeks has been most encouraging. CHILD NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH BY AUTO OarL Jr., the five-year-old am of Mr.' and Mrs. C. W. Stenger of this city, narrowly escaped very serious if not fatal injuries on Wednesday morning of this week when he was knocked down by one of the McHenry Lumber company trucks driven by George Weber. The little fellow was at play with a number of his mates and was crossing the street when struck by the machine. The driver of the car did not see the child in time to avoid the accident, but by stopping the machine within a few seconds after the child was knocked down he succeeded in saving the lad from very serious and if not fatal injuries. The wheels did not pass over the victim, tho the child was considerably bruised about the face, head, shoulders, arms and hands as the result of having been dragged a short distance. An X-ray picture of the lad's injuries were taken by Dr. A. I. Froehlich a short time after the accident, which revealed that no bones had been broken. Altho suffering more or less from the bruises sustained, little Carl is doing as well as might be expected under the circumtances and will be able to be out with his little playmates again shortly.

On account of the excitement of the primary and also the inclemency of the weather, the baseball meeting, which was to have been held on the night of April 8, did not materialize. However, another effort is to be made to get the baseball fans of this community together next Saturday night, when it is hoped a decision will be reached as to whether or not McHenry will be represented on the baseball diamond the coming season. Mr. Kingsley, who last year managed the Antioch Baseball club, will be in McHenry on that evening with a proposition whereby the team which last year played under the Antioch banner can be brought to this city. It is hoped that every baseball fan in McHenry will be present at the meeting so that definite action may be taken. The meeting is to be held at the K. of C. hall and will be called at 8:15.
