W. Stenger, waa struck last night by a Ford touring car as he attempted to cross Main street. Kirk Schroeder of Ringwood, the driver of the car, is not held at all responsible for the accident. He was driving at a moderate rate of speed, but it was dusk and the street lights had not yet been lighted: This, together with the fact that the boy wore a khaki play suit, made it hard for Mr. Schroeder to see him. A car was coming from the opposite direction and the little fellow became confused. He was knocked unconscious, but recovered soon after he was carried to the house. Two locfal physician* were summoned and reported that, though Jack was badly bruised on the face and body, he had received no very serious injuries.

Anderson's death should serve as a warning to those who have been indulging in the dangerous sport of aquaplaning, as he was killed by falling from a surf board back of a motor boat. It is a dangerous practice and all who are in the habit of riding the surf in this manner are taking their lives in their own hands.

McHenry staged one of the largest and best Fourth of July celebrations this year that has been witnessed in McHenry county in a number of years. Not only on the one day did the crowds gather in this city, but they were here on the day before and the day after, the reason for this being that the local American Legion, cooperating with the McHenry Community club, had advertised a threeday carnival. The beautiful grove around the Fox pavilion was selected as the place for the doings. It was filled with booths of all kinds, a merry-go-round and other attractions to delight the kiddies as well ae the grown-ups. McHenry entertained probably the largest crowd of people that ever came to our city for a celebration. The hotels and restaurants were well filled, and the people who brought their lunches and dinners with them found the park a very enjoyable place for a picnic. In spite of the fact that it rained on the first night, the workers were kept busy entertaining the guests. There were booths where silverware, blankets, parasols and other useful articles were disposed of. The evening of the Fourth an exceptionally large crowd turned out to witness the fireworks. The display was probably the largest ever shot in Mc- HenJ^ounty, and was put on by the com pany of Chiwas practically Snm fcdfty before. People ca: fact anyone McHenry had a time on account of meet automobiles. It looked as if countryside was headed for the city. A Ford automobile was given away as a grand prize on the last night of the carnival and was won by R. Overland, of Wauconda. Everyone seemed to favor dancing as an amusement and the Fox paviMon was crowded most fii the hours it was open. All of the workers tried hard to make the event a success and the result proVed that their efforts were not in vain. The different committee chairmen and the members of their committees deserve unlimited credit for the way they handled the work. The organization as a whole was well worked out and each individual responded to the demands with plenty of "pep" and enthusiasm. Owing to the crowded condition of the numerous hotels, many residents offered rooms to accommodate the visitors. Although the profits have not-been figured up, it is estimated that they will be greater than last year. Ray McGee, commander of the local post of the American Legion, announces that he believes over $2,000 will be cleared. The Legion receives twentyfive per cent of this profit, while the other seventy-five percent goes into what is known as the public benefit fund, and is to be used for public improvement for our city. Each year McHenry continues to have a larger celebration and doubtless the success next year will be even greater than the one just passed. DISTRICT NO. 5 WILL BE PAVED COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE FOR PEARL, GREEN STREETS A. was held at thtf city hall last Thursday afternoon regarding paving districts Nos. 5 and 6. The majority of the people were in favor of paving District No. 5 which is made up of Pearl street from Park avenue west to the Ringwood road and Green street, which extends from Elm street to Washington street, including the intersection at Washington. The ordinance waa passed by the board of directors Monday evening. On account of the many objections regarding the paving of District* No. 6, which is made up of Waukegan street, the matter will not be decided upon for fifteen days. The objections offered were that McHenry does not need the pavement, or, at last, all the streets need not be paved. The objectors also said that the improvements introduced are now far over the bonded limit. A council meeting was held Monday evening at the city hall. , It as decided thatan investigation shall be made to firm' out whether the McHenry park belongs- to the city or the county. It was decided that an investigation shall be hired to determine the dividing line between the property belonging to the public grade school and that belonging to the city hall.

COE, Co. 8upt. Bring your films to the Botib Studio far developing and printin£>"5-lt As announced in last week's issue The McHenry Plaindealer is now op crating under new ownership and mgg aerement. We desire to extend an invitation to scribers and prospective patrons to the office and get in the meantime the y effort to reach many years been classe«T^H||B^^HPie best news weeklies in nu» thenRHhois. It is bar desire and aim i <- live up to this reputation and, if possble, to improve it. However, this cannot be done without the help and co-operation of the people ojC this community. We want to print the news and will welcome and appreciate a call, either at the office or over the telephone, telling us of any happenings of a news nature. The new editor and manager comes to McHenry almost a stranger. This will be a handicap for a short while, but we hope to soon get acquainted and become one of you. The policy of The Plaindealer will be to boost McHenry in every way. We believe this city has a wonderful future. The advantages are all here to be better developed and it is being done. We would like to place The Plaindealer in every home in its territory, but that is beyond our fondest hopes. However, we want to impress upon the minds of its readers that out endeavor will center upon getting the news and passing it on through the columns of this paper. One of the best assets any city can have is a good, live newspaper. When a prospective resident comes along he usually goes to the newspaper office for a copy of the home paper. If it does not display activity and business he feels that the city must be a dead one. If its columns are full of news, if the business men are advertising their goods, right away he thinks the place is worth consideration. Let's all get together and boost. Let The Plaindealer be one of the means of boosting McHenry. We are at your service. If you like our paper tell your friends. If you have fault to find with it, let us know and maybe we can rectify* it. Miss Ruth Powers has been engaged for the position of local news reporting. Any assistance that can be given her in her new work will be appre eiated. Ottr phone number is 98-W. A. H. MOSHER, Editor. The etty of McHenry won the first round in its legal battle with Otto Sohm for possession of a strip of land on the east side of Fox river, which the city claims is a street, and which is laid out for state highway route 20. The ca.se was begun before a jUry in the McHenry county circuit court on Monday before a jury and Judge E. D Reynolds presiding. It did not go to the jury until Thursday afternoon. The twelve men returned with their verdict thirty minutes later, which read as follows: "We the jury find the defendant guilty of unlawfully withholding from the plaintiff the possession of the premises described in the declaration filed in this cause and that the right to the possession of the said premises is in the plaintiff for the purposes of a highway." Therefore, it looks as if this case is no closer to a settlement than before the trial and when it is finally disposed of in circuit court it can then^be taken to the higher tribunals. This one small strip of land is holding up the completion of route 20 through McHenry, with a fine new cement bridge across the Fox river, which the state is ready to build as soon as the right-of-way is obtained. Attorneys A. H. Pouse and D. R. Joslyn, Sr., represented the city of McHenry in the ejectment proceedings, while Attorney D. T. Smiley took care of Mr. Sohm's interests. At times the battle between opposing lawyers became quite heated and the court was compelled to interfere. It was a hotly contested affair all the way through and attracted many people to the court house during the four days. PIPE ORGAN RECITAL PLEASES PROGRAM OF UNUSUAL MERIT AT ST.

Under the direction of Professor Sears of Barrington our band has proved itself to be one of the best in the county. They expect to play again next Wednesday night at Woodstock. But, as many McHenry people are unable to go to that city, they are looking forward eagerly to the time when the band will give a concert here. The attractive program rendered recently in St. Mary's church by Mr. Clarence Eddy, world famous organist was one of unusual beauty. A large and appreciative audience had gathered in the beautiful church edifice to enjoy this rare musical treat. - Rev. Fr. Nix, popular pastor, made no mistake in giving the people of McHenry an opportunity of-hearing an eminent performer on a marvelous in* strument. The new pipe organ so generously donated to St. Mary*s by Miss Rose Huemann, is a great piece of workmanship and art and only through the recent rendition of this recital were people given an idea of its possibilites. Inspiring environment, talented per former and wonderful instrument were a combination for soul poetry--the audience felt this and in respectful silence absorbed the beauty. Introduced by Father Nix as a peer of the greatest of living organists, Mr. Eddy presented a presence of the gentlest dignity and refinement. McHenry is to be congratulated upon hearing an artist whose reputation extends from ocean to ocean. Mr. John Hill of Chicago, possessor of a remarkable voice, furnished two vocal numbers. Power of voice, control and theme of song thrilled the listeners. Mr. Hill's singing is operatic. The program follows: "Hymn of Glory" Pictro A. Yon "On the Mount" . .J.

Otherwise the property owners could not get a rebate from the&tate. The petition was circulated by Frederick Beller Wednesday. All the owners of property who could be located signed the petition, Mr. Beller reports. Some of the others were not in town at the time, but enough frontage was, se cured to give a majority in favor of the movement.

Oakhurst derived its name from the wonderful oak trees that cover each lot. Every lot has at least eight beautiful oak trees. There are about two miles of roads through Oakhurst, which are well gravelled and graded. There is a fine bathing beach where children are safe to bathe and wade. In a word, Oakhurst is everything that could be desired in a surtimer resort. Four lots were sold in the subdivision over the Fourth and there are many more good prospects.
