McHenry Loses Opening Conference Game McHenry dropped a double header to Belvidere last Saturday night when they put their fast lighting fives against Belvidere. The Boone county outfits were the fastest high school teams ever to appear here in McHenry. They could shoot, dribbk> pass and pivot with lightnint; speed and accuracy and they displayed some real team work and, all were dead shots. Most of the McHenry boys were off on their shots and had they been in their right form the score would have been much different. Overton and Whiting, who are Mc- McHenry's high scorers, were way off and had much hard luck on their shots. Even though they would put them right in the basket, they would English right back out. Ivntrty Conway, our giant back guard, caused much trouble for Belvidere for he never once allowed them to get the ball from their own back-board and they always score heavily from the back-board, but Marty fooled 'em last Saturday nite. Eugene Hawk was the big scorer and the fastest on the team, while Overton again starred for the Orange and Black. Second Team Game This was a very fast and exciting curtain raiser and also interesting to watch, because the speedy little M. C H. S. ponies kept the Beividere lights going every minute in order to hold their small lead. It was a close game and every time a Belvidere lad would sink in a basket a McHenry pony would soon follow up, but were nosed out in the end. First Team Game When both teams came on to the floor last Saturday night Belvidere boasted that it would be an easy walk away but they found that the Mc Henry boys were not so slow and they held them with but 16 points in the first half and their Record is 15 points in three minutes against the Sycamore high school quintet. The McHenry five iVere able to score but six points during the first half, but made the Belvidere gang work mighty hard for their 10 point lead. During the second half the Stringerites were not so good on the defense and^elvidere slipped in 22 points during the part of the game and walked away with what they called an easy victory, but an especially decisive one for it means that Belvidere has a very good chance for North Five championship again this year. mGH SCHOOL BAND IS PROGRESSING NICELY BOOSTER MEETING TUESDAY EVENING AUSPICES OF KIWANIS CLUB Mr. Koerner Reports a Membership of Seventeen A few short months ago a band was organized at the community high school.

HOME TALENT PLAY DRAWS GOOD CROWD Johnsburg Boys and Girls to Give Another Comedy A very large crowd greeted the second performance of the home talent play entitled "Always In Trouble," given by the Johnsburg boys and girls last Sunday. The comedy was first presented on the evening of January 3, but due to the unfavorable weather conditions which made it impossible for many people to witness the performance, it was decided to comply to the numerous requests by presenting the play January 10. It was one of the best comedies ever presented in Johnsburg. The plot centered around Misery Moon a "poor hungry cullud man wif a cullud wife an' nine hungry cullud orphan chilluns," and was snappy and mysterious. His various financial troubles and the way in which he set about righting them kept the audience in an uproar. "^George Oeffling as the hoodoed coon was the hero of of the evening. Martin Weber, representing Hiram Tutt, and Helen Smith in the guise of Paula Maleek, the boleshevik, furpished the mystery of the story. Agnes Hettermann as Lulu Pearl and Leo'Freund as Patrick Keller, a ticket seller, gave a very able representation of a jazz time wedding in Missoury. John A. Miller displayed some fine acting as a grouchy man of mililons. Tom Rissle (Tony Freund) was an. other man of mystery in the eyes of the simple Missoury folks. Amelia Weber as an old maid attempting to make an impression on Tutt won great applause from those present. No other could possibly have portrayed the part of the charming niece as well as did Martha Miller, who completed the cast of characters. Withal, everyone who attended was well pleased with the entertainment and all will be glad to know that the young actors are planning to give another performance around Easter time and are promising that it will be just as good as Sunday's play.

Justen garage on Waukegan Road shortly after noon last Friday. The damage done by the fire was very slight. Outside Judge May Hear New Trials V. S. Lumley, through his attorney Charles T. Allen of Cary, filed a petition in circuit court Wednesday for a separate trial in the case of the State of Illinois vs. Charles P. Barnes and V. 3. Lumley charged with perjury. f v , Attorney Lumley stated in his petition that in his opinion a large part of the evidence offered by the state was incompetent against him and for that reason he was asking for a separate trial and in asking for a separate trial Mr. Lumley believes that his co-defendant, Charles P. Barnes, will in no way be injured or prejudiced thereby. | This is the case which was recently tried in the McHenry county circuit court, wherein both Judge Barnes and Attorney Lumley were found guilty, Judge Reynolds later granting a new trial. A few days ago the defendants served on State's Attorney Pouse a demand for an immediate trial. The motion for a separate trial is now before Judge Shurtleff for disposition. On Wednesday Judge Shurtleff in open court stated that as to the second trial of this case he had consulted both Judge Edwards of Waukegan and Judge Reynolds of Rockford and both had expressed a preference not to try the case, and that all three judges of the circuit had substantially agreed that someone from outside of the district should be called in to try this case. Judge Shurtleff stated that he was| ready at any time on a demand for trial by either side to call in a judge from outside of the circuit'to try the case, and that he will ask the supreme court of the State of Illinois to assign some circuit judge to come to Woodstock and try the case whenever there was a demand made for trial.
