Neisen, our east side marshall, had an experience at the power house last Thursday afternoon which he will not forget for some time. While en­ gaged tilling the gasoline tank which feeds the engine, the tank overflowed, the gasoline running down his arm- aleeve, and at the s&tne lima the engine stopped. Mr. Neisen, without thinking, immediately struck a match to start the engine, when, like a flash, his whole sleeve was ablaze. He tried to extin­ guish the blaze with hjs other hand but to no avail, the blage flashing higher and higher, Seeing the danger he was in he made a dash for the door where he was met by E, B, Perkin*! who came to his assistance- After a hard fight Mr. Perking suooeeded in putting out the blase. Only for the prompt assistance of Mr Parkins the affair might have proved fatal, as Mr. Neisen's idea was to run into the creek adjoining the pow­ er house. In such case he would have been exhausted before be could get half way, as the blaze was flashing toward bis head when he reached the door. As it was be escaped with his right arm and hand and two fingers on his left hand badly burned. Mr Perkins also had his hands pretty well blistered. Wrinkles are smoothed away by Its healing touch. Brain tired and de­ pressed people will find a cure in Rocky Mountain Tea. G. W, * Compel an Adjournment of Circuit Court Because of Their Sympathy for one of Their Number. Business in the McHenry county cir­ cuit court at Woodstock Tuesday morn­ ing of last week ended rather dramati­ cally, the principal actors in the great drama being a syndicate of five lawyers at the county seat, says the Harvard Herald. It was what can be termed a lawyers' strike, and as is the case in nearly all strikes a very opportune time from the'""promoters' standpoint was chosen. It was a complete lockout for the mill of justice, and jurors who came from different parts of the county went home feeling that they had been imposed upon, and they have a right to think so, in our opinion. But what is ineon- venienceto jurors, litigants and witnesses when vengeance on the part of the ag­ grieved lawyers must be had? As near as can be learned it is what would be termed in economics a sympa­ thetic strike. A certain member of the "syndicate" had been "puffed up" a little last week in the editorial columns of the W oodstock Sentinel and out of re­ spect to the party thus "puffed" it was decided to end court by means of a boy­ cott, hence the adjourned session of the September term of our circuit court was brief, but sensational. To fair-minded people the action thus taken seems too much like boy play to be expected of lawyers, who, through such conduct belittle their profession and unless we are mistaken it was an act they will regret, for the people like to see fairness and the excuse giyen for the action they took seems very slim. If the "syndicate" of lawyers had lseen so desirous of expressing sympathy to one of their brethren, aB they pretend to be, would it not have been more man­ ly to have done it in another way, there by saving the county expense and a term of oourt would not have been ad journed with scarcely any business transacted. Monday morning when oourt was con­ vened by Judge Donnelly the indica tions were that two or three weeks of brisk work would follow. Jurors and litigants were on hand anxiously await­ ing for the dispatch of business. None Knew, or pretended to know, what wae in the air until the judge began a call of the docket In each case in which a member of the lawyers' syndicate was interested a continuance was asked, the same being granted. This part of the preconoocted plan having been carried out, petitions were then presented to the court, askiug for obanges of venue, the same being granted in about twenty odd cased. This necessitated an ad­ journment of court, as no other jury cases could be called for trial. That a ter^ of the McHeilf|i^gounty circuit court should be adjourned through spite work OR the part of four or five lawyer? is very unprofessional to gay the least. If this syndicate of at­ torneys had the people at heart they would have asked for change* of venue before Tuesday. The oounty would have been spared unnecessary expenses and jurors and litigants would not have been discommoded. Changes of venue would not have been necessary had said lawyers informed the court a week ago that they desired a new trial judge. Judge Donnelly has been fair and im­ partial in the discharge of his duties since being elevated to the bench and he has never desired to preside in case? where the litigants or tt^eir attorneys had not implicit confidence in him. At the opening of the September terra of court the leader in the present syndi­ cate of lawyers asked Judge Donnelly to pass the common law cases in which the said attorney was interested and it was agreed by the court and the attor­ neys that an adjournment would be taken until November If- The reason assigned by said attorney then was that the Ellsworth murder trial, in which he was one of the attorneys, would take all his time. His request was granted by Judge Donnelly, who had no intimation until Tuesday morning of the pre-ar­ ranged plan by which the syndicate of attorneys sought Hnd succeeded in ad­ journing court without any work be­ ing transacted to speak of. Under all the circumstances we believe the people of McIIeuiy county, when they acquaint themselves with the fftcts in the matter, will not uphold the attorneys instru­ mental ip the unusual proceedings re­ lated above. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS. Many Social Bvents Take Plaee Is aad Around McHenry. Attend the Farmers' Institute. The McHenry County Farmers' In­ stitute will be held in Woodstock on De­ cember 1Q and U. AH arrangements have been made for a very suooessful meeting, and it ia hoped that every farmer in McHenry oounty will attend at least one day of the meeting. This county is situated in the heart of the best farming lands in the Btate. s The county produces enormous quantities of corn and it is of the greatest import­ ance to know how to produce the largest possible yield of oorn per acre, and how to care for «ud prepare the soil for the best producing results. All of these questions and many others will be discussed and it will certainly pay every farmer to be present and profit by oth­ ers' experiences. See program of Art^JGxhibit in aaoth* er column.
