Woodstock Driver Runs Into Three Riff* on Hli Way Hum* Sac day Kveainff. A Woodstock automobile, the driver of which fp hnown to the victims, ran Into three buggies iate la«t Snnday aft ernoon and smashed up every one of them. The victims in two cases were McHenryitee, who happened to be driv­ ing along the highway at the time. The first victims were Darwin Grang­ er and Math. Freund, who were on their way home after an afternoon's hunting expedition. They Were driving along at a point near the W. F. Bassett. farm when they heard the car comiDg. The car was wSthoct headlights and was coming along at no slow rate of frpeed. Thinking perhaps that the driver of the car could not see their rig they pniled off the main highway onto the siding and in another instant the machine had crashed into one of the hind wheels of their vehicle and stripped It of every spoke. Stopping the horse the two looked around in an attempt to get the number of the car when, to their sur prise the second crash came. This time the machine had struck a rig occupied by W. F. Bassett and his son, E. E. Bassett. The Bassett buggy was quite badly demolished. The harness was almost entirely torn from the horse and both occupants of the rig were quite badly bruised. Did the driver stop the car? No. In stead, he appeared to be patting on more speed, and another short distance and the third collision came. Thin time the crK4h killed the engine of the car and they were forced to stop Mrs. L. Howe and niece. who also reside 00 the Woodstock road, were the third victims of the day. The machine which aaneed all the trouble, and its driver, we are told, were in McHenry all Snnday afternoon and during the stay here gave a splen­ did (?) exhibition of reckless driving up­ on onr main streets. The machine was occupied by three joy ridera, who were not molested in their exhibition here, bnt, if we are not badly mistaken, the driver will be made to snffer for his reck lessuess. ST.

To Plaiudealer: A decision of the supreme <*»nrt of the state of Illinois, handed down Oct. 38, 1910, will be of interest to all prop erty owners, as well as a warning to haulers. In 1905 Charles C Colby, owner of property, in and around Mc Col loin's lake, caused the arrest of George J. Sayer of Pistakee Bay for hunting upon the waters ot McCollum's lake and he waa taken before J nstice Gardner of Crystal Lake and fined $1000 and costs. Mr. Sayer appealed the case to the circuit conrt of McHenry county before Judge Donnelly, who doubled the fine and costs. From McHenry county to the supreme court of Illinois, where a decision was rendered last Fri­ day, sustaining the lower courts in their action. This case has beeu a bard flght, lasting over five years, Mr. Sayer claim­ ing any person with hunting license oould hunt upon any body of water and could not be molested. The courts hold Ibat the owner of a body of water has all the rights, just the same as over a corn or wheat field, or door yard, altho the property may not be fenced. Mr. Sayer employed one of the best"lawyer* in Chicago and Mr. Colby the best in McHenry county. S & J. Have you seen onr five and ten cent counter? If not, better call in aud save oionay.

Last Satnrday afternoon the Mclleury Basket Ball team opened the season in • glorious fashion by defeating Cary 12 to m. Cary has always been noted for having a strong team and the McHenry boya certainly deserve a great deal of credit for defeating them. At the end of the first half the score stood 4 to 2 in McHenry e favor, but in the second half Cary came back strong and it required the greatest efforts of the Mchenry team to defeat them Cary Is seeking revenge and a game is to be pulled off in McHenry in the near future.

The Mississippi river has given up $500,000 worth of treasure this summer. The Itliuois state university, which a few years ago had but 500 students and was an utterly negligible factor in pub­ lic education, begins its new year with ten times that number of students and an instructive, administrative and scien tific force of almost 700. Dundee Hawkeye: This is rightfully called potato week at Hemlock Heights, formerly know? "as the Oatman farm. The big potato crop is being harvested. A machine digger is in use. The oorp is very heavy, being conservatively esti­ mated at 250 bushels per acre. A. H.

Hay nee fonr acres of land on the shore of Lake Maria, and will, the coming Bummer, erect k fine modern hotel on the proper­ ty. The price paid for the land, it is said, was $2,(0J Some miscreants entered the barn on Piatt Winnie's farm near Huntley one nightrecently and did a large amonnt of damage. They tipped over nine cans of milk, allowed about fifteen gallons of gasoline to run out, cut up several harnesses and coats that were in the barn. A discharged employe is sus­ pected.

Mrs. Stein hauser was originally sent to prison for the murder of her husband. After serving over twenty years she was par­ doned and has since made her home with relatives.

In return they ask the towns to provide cnlverto aud furnish aud spread neces­ sary gravel to complete the work. A ten horse steam roller, a seventy five- horse traction eugiue will do the heavy work, while a grader and road drag wilt complete the grading. Bordan Milk Company Is Baltdlnff TKIrd Ice House Her*. Not since the burning of the old Knickerbocker ice houses, that stood where the Borden milk bottling plant now stands, has the ice industry in Mc­ Henry loo mad np *s the prospects for the coming winter indicate. The Borden Milk company has started the erection of another ice house at their plant here, which will be ready for the 1910-1911 crop of the frozen water. This company already has two good sized houses hare and still thay fell short during the past summer, it hav­ ing been accessary to ship ice to this point during the past couple of months. The third house will bo 75x90 feet in dimensions, with a capacity of 3000 tons of ice. This, together with the two other houses, will house about 8000 tons. Besides the filling of these bouses, the company will ship ice from this place to their plants at Ridgefield, Woodstock, West Chicago and possibly Cary. The Cary plant has been getting its supply from the waters of Fox river, but this source cannot be depended upon, as tha ice taken from the waters of that stream" usually falls short. This means that the ice industry will open up just as soon as the ice is of suf­ ficient thickness and wit1, in all prob­ ability, continue until spring. One can easily see at a glance what this means for McHenry. It means plenty of work for the common laborer during the en­ tire winter. This work coming at a time when common labor is exception­ ally scarce ought to bring joy to Mc­ Henry s laborers, as well as the business men in general. It means prosperity all the year round. The older inhabitants remember what the ice industry was in McHenry years ago, when the larger ice companies of the big metropolis owned and operated ice houses here, and the news that the old days are coming back will be re­ ceived with delight by all. Besides the building of the new ice house, a storage room, 40x80, will also be constructed this fall and will be built just as soon as the building now under construction is finished. A large foroe of men is now kept at work at the scene of building operations. The Borden plant has experienced a general boom this fall and at the present time the books of the company show a larger number of dairies listed than at any one time before in the history of the institution. Thirty-five men will be kept busy on the inside of the plant all winter, while the ice industry will give employment to at least from fifty to seventy five additional hands. The engine in the plant, which has given the company such excellent ser­ vice during the past several years, will soon give way to a larger one. The old engine has grown too small far the use for which it is intended and the larger one will take its place very shortly The new engine has already been placed and will be in operation within a few days. Here is hoping that the good work will go on and that the day is not farfloff when 50,000 pounds of milk will te handled at this plant daily. That the 50,000 mark wilt be reached some day is the firm belief of Superin­ tendent Price. He bases his belief in the fact that there are quite a number of farms in this vioinity that are prac­ tically idle so far as the dairy interests are concerned, but which will in time fall iu line with the balance of the pro­ gressive dairy faruiB of this section. It is also a noticeable fact that the dairies in this vicinity are continually growing. More oows are being added each year, and with such conditions the milk in­ dustry is just bound to grow. Every business man in McHenry should encourage the milk industry. It means money for the farmer as well as the man who sells the provisions of life. Let us all boost it. Married at Kenosha. Wis, Mrs. Addie Gilpin, daughter of Col. John P. Vidvard of Grass Lake, and Mr. Clarence Ostrander, son of C. H. Os trander of Fox Lake, were quietly married at Kenosha, Wis., last Satur­ day afternoon, the ceremony being per­ formed by Judge Randall in the letter's municipal Office. After the ceremony a wedding luncheon was served at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Arthur Gardiner. Mr. and Mrs. Ostrander have already gone to housekeeping in the Thos. Power's residence, until re­ cently occupied by Dr. R. G. Chamber-* lin and family. Mr. Ostrander is not a stranger in McHenry, as his boyhood days were passed in this village. Public Card Fart jr.
