A daring robbery, carefully planned and smoothly executed, was discovered this morning at Crystal Lake, where ODP or more yeggmen succeeded in get­ ting away with |200 in cash. $400 in ne­ gotiable checks, $125 in postage stamps and a horse and buggy valued at $200; in all a total of $935 worth of loot So quietly and well did the thieves do their work that no one was aroused, and it is thonght they had at least a five or six hour start before the authorities instituted search for them. No clue was obtained from the scene of their night raid, but a horse and bug­ gy has been found at Barriugton, the description of which tallies exactly with that of the outfit stolen by the robbers. From this meager clue it was inferred that the thieves were on their way to Chicago. The horse, a fleshy one, was abandoned because it could not carry its load of avoirdupois, loot and robbers at a rapid enough gait to suit the latter. The two places visited were the saloon owned by Henry Peters .and the grocery store of J. B. Kroeger, where, the post office is located. At Peters' saloon the marauders worked the combination of the safe and rifled it of $200 in cash and $400 in negotiable checks. At the post- office they opened the safe and took $125 in stamps which were kept there by Postmaster J. B. Ford. The horse, which was stolen from tbe barn of Paul Rauhnt. is supposed to have been the last thing the robber? ap­ propriated. They started for Cbioago in the rig, but abandoned It near Bar- rington, and no clue has been obtained as to their movements after leaving Barrington. Marshal Purvey of Crys tal Lake, Marshal Henderson of Ntrnda attd Detective Lafe Benthuysen are a work on tbe case. The gang th*t did the job may be the same one that burglarised tbe store of McGrath Widmeyer, at Hampshire, last Saturday night, and also broke into the store next' door to it. Widmeyer runs a hardware store on the main street in Hampshire, and it was entered some tli-i. ],•.!<!»« miduitsht Satta-day ulghfc Five revolvers, several razors and I number of pocket knives were taken The store next to it, owned by Repre sentative O. H. Backus, was entered, and a fur overcoat and two pairs of shoes were titken. Three tramps were seen hanging around town Saturdry, and suspicion is directed to them. Three men an swering their description were seen two miles east of the village on the road to Elgin about midnight, and they are be­ lieved to have been the robbers. It is believed that , tbe robbery was committed by a gang that runs out from Chicago every now and then to work the smaller towns within a radius of sixty miles. Several other jobs have heen done within this radius recently, and all are thought to be the work of practically the same gang. The crim­ inals are being pretty bard pressed in Chicago just now, and are turning to the outside towns for their jobs. HAPPENINGS IN* M'HENRY AND - ADJACENT COUNTIES. WRECK AT TERRA COTTA. Borden's Milk Train Ran* IntoFrelght Blight Cow* Killed. A Jolly Outtat. A party Chicagoans well known here, Messrs. W. F. and J. C. Riley, L. Q. Seng, L. Larson, W. Jeffrey, and W. F. Holts of McHenry left Chicago Sun­ day, bound for Watertown, S. D., to camp and hunt for three weeks, sixteen miles from civilization. J. Manning, advance agent, already has everything in ship-shape order and has secured the services of an experienced cook, SD there will be nothing lacking for their com­ fort, except a few blissards. Messrs. H. Dickinson of Tracy, Minn., and F. Sears of Watertown will also spend their vacations in camp, and the "boys" are brushing up on military tactics, as they expert to entertain Gen Egglesby, U. S. A , in the near future. Game of all kinds is especially plentiful and they hope t(^ have the hunt of their lives. If they send a photo of the group before they visit a barber, about three weeks hence, it will, no doubt, be a curiosity. • Bell Qum and Benefit Danee. A ball game and benefit dance will take place at Lily Lake next Sunday afternoon and evening. The ball game which takes place in the afternoon will be between the Volo and Round Lake teams, and will be for a side bet of $50. These two teams are quite evenly matched and as a great deal of rivalry exists as to which is the better team an interesting game is expected. During the afternoon and evening a grand ball will be given in the large pavilion, the proceeds of which will be turned over to the Volo baseball team and will be expended for new uniforms, thus start­ ing the team out right when the 1908 season opens. Encourage the boys by purchasing a ticket for this danoe. The mnsic will be furnished by Chris Hap- ke's on hestra. Dance tickets 50 cents. Shot While Dock Hunting. While duck hunting on Fox Lake near Bay View hotel, Wednesday morning of last week, Carl Woeger of Chicago ac cidently shot himself by hitting the trigger of his gun while attempting to lift it from the bottom of the boat. The two forefingers were torn off, his thumb badly lacerated, and a portion of the charge grazed the side of his neck, cans ing a slight flesh wound. Dr. Schaffar of Grayelake was called and attended to thewfortauwleviottin * injuries. A MltMllueoDi Assortment of New* Items In Condensed Porn* For Conven­ ience of Busy People. The oldest man in Lake county to ap­ ply for a hunting license is Peter Mc- Leas, aged 79 years. He got the li­ cense. The body of Frank Toilar, a Chicago man. aged'88 years, was found in a slough near Cary on Sunday, Sept. 39. The jory's verdict was death from ex­ posure. Bel v id ere will soon have another bank, which will make tbe fourth in that city. It will be a state bank, and will hp backed by several wealthy Bel- videre gentlemen. Pleading guilty to the charge of steal­ ing $300 worth of merchandise from the store of Mandel Bros, in Chicago, Mrs. Al. Lewis and Mrs. Nettie Wallace, both of Elgin, were fined $75 each by Municipal Judge Sadler last Saturday. The fines were paid by Mrs. E. C. Chuist of Bushnell, 111., and the women were .tfven their liberty. Nnnda Herald: As a sample of the ease with which milking machines may be operated, A. E. Weter reached home one night last week very late, and on entering tbe barn was surprised to find th«t bis ten-year-old son, Roger, had started the gasoline engine and the milking machine that was installed sev­ eral months ago, and was milking bis sixteenth cow. Replyiug to a query of State Engi­ neer Johnson, mads on behalf of tbe highway commissioners of Aurora, At­ torney. General Stead declares that if heavy threshing machine outfits or oth­ er traction engines break thru bridges built by the township and injury to man or machines follows, the township is not liable. If the highway commission­ ers have used tbeir best judgement in the building of the bridges, neither are they liable, says the attorney general, who quotes a long list of supreme court decisions to bear bim out. Nnnda Herald: The petit jurors sum inoned for the September term of the circuit court have all been notified not to appear until the eighteenth day of November, at which time trials of the common law cases for the September term will be taken up. It has been ens tomary for several years to put off the September term trials until November on account of the busy season of corn cutting with the farmers, many of whom are usually drawn as jurors. The court docket for the present term com prises 14 criminal cases, 101 common law cases and 92 chancery cases. After January 1, 1908, clergymen who have been travelling upon half rates upon all western railroads will have to pay full fare. The fact was made cer tain by the action of a general confer ence of the clergy bureau of all the west­ ern passenger associations. Tbe trans continental passenger association will continue to issue half rate permits to clergymen so long as the rates are not reduced in Colorado, Montana, Arizona and states west of there to the Pacific coast. The permits may also becontin ued in Texas and Jxmisiana, where their withdrawal depends upon the state com mission of those states. The action of the railroads is in line with the announc­ ed policy of withdrawing all reduced rate privileges in states where 2-cent laws are passed. Harvard Herald: John Murphy of Delevan has been swindled out of $8000 thru the wily game of a sharper. Last summer a man who gave his name as Geo. Walters, alias Wells, appeared in Sharon for the purpose of bnying a couple of farms near that village for bis son, whom he said wanted to move from South Dakota. A few days later the confidence man appeared in the office of Justice Hamlin at Sharon and wanted a deed drawn, which the justice did. The swindler found a mistake in the instru­ ment and requested that a new one be made. This caused Mr. Hamlin to leave the office to secure a blank deed, and while he was put the swindler disap­ peared with the old deed. He got what he wanted, namely, the signature of the justice and the witnesses and the seal. Not long after this the stranger appeared at Elkhorn with a fraudulent deed to a piece of property near Sharon. The deed was entered on record and on this fictitious deed a loan was secured from Mr. Mnrphy for $8000. The fraud was not unearthed nntil last week. ARE PERISHED IN FLAMES One of the worst freight wrecks to occur on this division of the North­ western line occurred between three and four o'clock last Thursday morning at Terra Cotta, when Borden's milk train ran into a freight train. The accident was caused thru the carelessness of the freight conductor. The freight had pulled into the station and the engine detached and run down to pick up some cars at the Terra Cotta factory, the train being left standing on tbe main track, Ronnding the sharp enrve near Terra Cotta the milk train rah full speed into the rear car, a stock car loaded with cattle. The engineer and fireman of the Borden train both jnmpied and escaped injury. The crash as the two trains came to­ gether was heard for some distance, many of the farmers living in the vicin­ ity of the wreck being awakened there­ by. Two cars, one of cattle and the other containing the household furniture of W. A. Schaefer and Robt. Sohns, and the engine of tbe milk train suffered the greatest damage. The car of cattle was being shipped by F. H. Wattles of this place. Two oows and a calf were killed jutright, while six other cows were shot, their injuries being of a serious nature, and would have proven fatal. A steam wrecker was hurried to the scene, and by noon the track was again cleared tor traffic. The passengers on the morning milk train were taken as far as tbe wreck, where a special met and carried tbeui to Crystal L>^ke. The 8:80 did not come down, but the passen gers from McHenry and the stations north were carried in the same manner as those on the 7:23 milk train.

The following is tbe report of the Sherman Hill school for the month of September: No. pupils enrolled 8 Per cent attendance #4.3 Cases tardiness 6 The following pupils have been nei­ ther absent nor tardy during the month: Loren Martin, Lyle Hutson. MYRTLK L. WATTI.ES, Teacher. A very impressive wedding ceremony was performed at St. John's Catholic church at nine o'clock last Thursday morning, the contracting parties being Miss Rosa Tonyan and Mr. Jacob Freuud both of Ring wood. At the appointed hour the bridal pair, attended by Misses Emma Tonyan and Anna Frennd and Messrs. Ben Tonyan and John Frennd, marched to the altar of the beautiful edifice, where the sac­ red words which bound them were spok en by tbe pastor, Rev. H. M. Mehring The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of crepe dn chine, and carried a bouquet of white carnations. The brides maids were attired in cream colored gowns and carried pink carnations. After the ceremony tbe happy conple, accompanied by a host of relatives and friends, repaired to tbe home of the bride's father at Ringwood, where a re ception and banquet was tendered them The bride is the daughter of Mr, Bernard Tonyan of Ring wood and the groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Freund. Both have spent most of their lives in and around Ringwood, where they enjoy a large circle of friends, who extend congratulations. Runaway at Johmtburgh. While crossing the Johnsburgh bridge at about the noon hour last Thursday Ben Stilling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hen ry Stilling, who reside east of McHenry met with a bad accident. When almost on tbe center of the bridge the horse that he was driving suddenly took fright at a passing gasoline lannch. During the excitement one side of the thills became unfastened, and with a mad leap the now tboroly ferocious steed started on a dead rnn. The young man clung to the lines until tbe end of the bridge was reached, when the bug­ gy was upset. Surprising as it may appear, the young man escaped with only a few face bruises and a wrenched shoulder, while the horse, when caught, did not bear a scratch. The vehicle was damaged to snch an extent that repairing is entirely ont of the question. Dr. C. H Fegers attended the unfortu­ nate victim, who has almost entirely recovered from the effects of the acci­ dent. The animal is a young one, hav­ ing been driven only about six months. An Unfortunate Accident. A most unfortunate accident, of which we failed to make mention in last week's issue, befell Ben Hutson on Monday morning of last week. Mr. Hntson was np in a hickory, tree near his home west of town, when the limb he was standing on gave way, causing him to fall to the gronnd with consider­ able force. The fall broke both of the victim's arms above the wrists. Dr. Hepburn of Ringwood was at once sum­ moned, who set the fractured members. The accident is one of the worst we have been called upon to chronicle for some time, and tha victim has the pub­ lic's most sincere sympathy. Mrs. Katie Qrludel and Her 15-Months- Old Child Meet a Most Agon Iz tug Death Tuesday Noon. Mrs. Katie Griudel and her fifteen- months-old child were burned to death in a shocking manner at the county seat about dinner time Tuesday. The woman expired about five minntes after the neighbors discovered that something was wrong, but the baby lived about two honrs. The accident, it is thought, happened while the mother was preparing to (ill a gasoline store, the gasoline exploding. No one witnessed the accident but from indication inside of the boose the coron­ er's jury returned a verdict that the. af­ fair was caused by an explosion of gaso­ line. The first indication of any accident was when Mrs. Downing, a neighbor, saw Mrs. Griudel rush oat of tbe house, her clothing ablaze, and lay her baby down on the grass and roll it over, a couple of times. She then rushed back into the house. Mrs. Downing summoned Mrs. Kuhn, another neighbor, and together they rushed into the van! of the Griudel home. They found the baby alive, its clothing still smoldering, and imme­ diately began to extinguish the flames. Smoke could be seen coming from the door of the house, and when they had put out the fire in the baby's clothes they turned to the house. ^ Just as tbey turned their attention to the house Mrs. Griudel rushed out of the back door and fell down the steps. She got up again at once and ran towards them four or five steps, add then fell over dead. Every stitch of clothing was burned- from her body and her flesh was burned to a crisp. The fire in the house was extinguished in a short time. Mrs. Griudel, it is sup­ posed, had carelessly set a quart can of gasoline onto the heated cook-stove, while she arranged the gasoline stove, an explosion following. The husband of the woman, who is an Oliver employe, is nearly erased with grief at the, tragic death of his loved ones. Miss Emmert, optician, at Besley's drng store Satnrday, Oct. 19.

Nellie Newman was engaged by the Board at their meeting last week to as­ sist in the primary grades, and this week the whole work of the second room has fallen to her thru the illness of Mrs. Overton. ^ The evening school brought out a fine group of hard workers. Someone wis heard to say: "This is not half so nice as last yea?; not near so much fun, and lots of work." Never mind; work is before play, and the harder the work the more time for play afterwards. We hope a good share of the members may win the certificates for their course.

Games, songs and laughter passed the evening all too quickly. Tasty refresh­ ments marked the closing of the even ing's enjoyment, after which all depart ed for their respective homes.

The Ladies' Cemetery society held its last meeting for this season at Mrs. J. B. Perry's on Tnesday» Oct- 1> The ladies found in looking up all accounts that the expense of caring for the ceme­ tery during the summer was $109.10. Tbey are pleased to say that the major­ ity of those having lots there have will- ingly paid their dollar toward keeping our beautiful cemetery in shape, and re­ gret that there are quite a number who seem satisfied with having their lots cared for thru the charity of others. The society will meet again in April to commence work for another year, and sincerely hope all will be ready to help the good work to go on. To Exterminate Carp from Pistakee. The annual work of exterminating the carp in Pistakee Bay begins this week. Tbe work is done nnder the di­ rection of Benjamin Stewart and a fed­ eral officer and will be accomplished by large seines. Three large scows have been buHt and three nets, each 150 feet long, were woven for tbe purpoee. All fish other than carp will be put back into the lake. The carp will be placed in a pond and sold to Chicago parties. Since the carp were placed in the lakes a few years ago other fish have been ex­ terminated to such an extent that fish­ ermen are alarmed lest all fish be driven out of the lakes by them. The Collins & Borgie Stove works, the largest manufacturing establish­ ment in Marengo, was practically de­ stroyed by fire at an early hour last Saturday morning. The entire plant, with the exception of the monlding and pattern rooms, was wiped ont and the loss is estimated at $100,000. The insurance on the plant was only $85,000. The fire was discovered" about o'clock in the morning. It is supposed that it originated in the japan room of tbe big plant. When the flame? were discovered they had gained snch head way that the town fire department was nnable to check their rapid spread. The buildings burned for abont two honrs and when the flames died ont only a shell of Marengo's largest factory was left. The plant was the only large industry in the city. It was brought to Marengo about fifteen years ago at a cost of $250,* 000 to the town. It was capable of fur­ nishing employment for 500 men, altho the number employed did not rnn as high as that fignrs. The plant was lo­ cated just of tbe North-Western depot. Advices from Marengo are to the affect that tbe plant will not be rebuilt, meaning a big loss to the city. *Pain anywhere, pain in the head, pain­ ful periods, Neuralgia, toothache, all pains can be promptly stopped by a thoroughly safe little Pink Candy Tab­ let, known by druggists everywhere as Djr.
