Joseph W. Freund, West McHenry, 111. QUARTER OF A CEfffUlY. ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLADTOEALER OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. H. E. Wightman is building an ad­ dition to his livery barn. "Gene" Perkins is preparing to open a restaurant in the Kelter block. John Hurrelle has opened a shoe shop in the rooms over the postoffice. Dr. H. T. Brown and family and C. A. Knight and family broke camp at Pistakee Bay last week. Miss Bertha Hoi lister, who has been sick for some time, is, at this writing, quite low, and but little hopes are entertained of her recovery. Elder Pope, who was pastor of the Baptist church in this village some twenty-three years ago, is visiting with the family of F. A. Hebard. The picnic for the benefit of the Ger­ man church, Johnsburgh, held on Wednesday last, was well attended and all report a good time. The gross receipts were $762.95. Hinton Wheeler of Blackberry, Kane county, has been on our streets the past few days. He was called here by the sickness of his father, the Rev. Joel Wheeler, who is now reported some better. Everybody and "their sisters and their couisins and their aunts" have gone to the fair at Woodstock. The weather is fine and the biggest crowd and best fair ever held in the north­ west will be the result. Piercing screams, emanating from the vicinity of the river, above the iron bridge a few evening since, start­ led one of our young men who was leisurely wending his way in that direction, and being fleet of foot he immediately started at a lively pace to the point from which the sound of disturbance came. He there found a lady who persisted that there was an alligator in the boat and begged of him to kill the horrid monster. Being a gallant young man he seized a club and with maj^n force and true heroism dipve that--musk rat right back into tho river. All has been quiet with that 'gator since. ANSWER TO KOEPPE*S FISH STORY. Last week The Plaindealer printed an article signed by a person by the name of Win. Koeppe, stating that passengers of the Navigator had been thrown to the floor and that a hole had1 been knocked into the boat the night that the water chain broke, after which the engine could only be run a short distance at a time and then had to be permitted to cool off before starting it again. Since reading the infamous article I have consulted Mr. Steilen, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Bickler and Joe Engeln, the four business men who, with their wives and friends, were on that trip and they all say that no one was thrown to the floor, nor was there a hole knocked in the Navigator, one of the business men saying, "It was nothing but a great big lie." As »<> the party who wrote that article, the signer of the same and the party who reported to the Motor Boat club last fiunday that the Navigator broke their pier I leave to the public to judge for themselves what they are. Had the Navigator done the damage it would have been repaired at the Walker line's expense long ago and not left as a menace to the public. Why does not the club, instead of coming to me, ask the omnipresent publicity agent, Wm. Koeppe, what boat it was that smashed their pier? Undoubtedly the boat be­ longs to a very dear friend of his or the public would have known long ago who owned the same. The old saying is, "Birds of a feather flock together." F. BELLER. JOHN W. FAY SELLS OUT. John W. Fay, who has conducted a grocery store in the Lawless building during the past summer, has disposed of his business to Lawrence Huck of Chicago, the latter taking possession of the place Tuesday morning of this week. Mr. Fay informs us that during the few months that he conducted the business in McHenry he did an excep­ tionally good business, far better than he had expected when he first start­ ed up. He believes that the location is the very best in McHenry, especially during the summer months, and ex­ pects to see his successor build up even abetter business than he had. Mr. Huck is not a stranger in these parts for he has passed several summers at Emerald Park, where he owns a sum­ mer home. Mr. Fay has not decided what he will do in the future. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an "accident" possible with any modern firearm whose mechanism is working as its maker intended it should. Trace any accident of the hunting fleld thru its actual history and you will find that it is the natural and logical consequence of something done or neglected by the shooter--that it is the result of either carelessness or ignorance, or both. All this is no news to the seasoned veteran of either the rifle or the shot­ gun in McHenry--but it is written especially for the young man who is going a-field for the first time this fall. Recklessness with firearms is not a mark of either skill or bravery--the more a man knows about firearms the more he fears them. Most of the guns which will be taken hunting this fall are either old ones which have been laid away for nine months or more, or new ones which have never been fired by the owner. Neither should be taken out untried. Go to some safe place and try it, where you can give all your attention to the gun before you take it where its per­ formance is likely to pass unnoticed in the excitement of trying to bag the game. During the winter and summer months the oil may have dried out in the most delicate parts, leaving clots of powder dust and "gum" where they may upset the normal working of its mechanism. A good gunner with a good gun can dismount and clean its inner parts himself. If you have not this skill, put the job up to a reliable gunsmith. Lacking that, it's good practice to souse the assembled work­ ing parts in benzine--outdoors for pref­ erence--until the unstrained fluid shows you that the last vestige of dirt is re­ moved. But only skilled inspection of the parts themselves can give assurance that they are not so worn as to be un­ reliable. Before firing a shot look thru the barrel or barrels to see that they are free from obstruction. A repair ticket stuck in the muzzle caused a friend of mine to wreck a fine double barrel. Don't let the muzzle of any gun get clogged with sand, mud or snow. If this happens thru a fall, stop right there and clean it out. Guns with exposed hammers should alwaj's be carried with the hammer in the safety notch. Some dubs let it down on the firing pin--where a slight blow will cause it to discharge the weapon. Remember that all hammerless guns are always .full cocked, with the trig­ ger locked so that they can not be pulled. Keep the hammer down or the safety on--it takes you less time to make ready for firing than to throw the gun to your shoulder--it will be ready to shoot before you are. Remember that a double barrel or automatic gun is still loaded and cocked before you have fired it. Throw the safety on before letting it dgwn from yout shoulder. All firearms are designed to deliver death in a definite direction. They shoot the way they are pointed, and so long as you don't want to destroy you will not collect any unsolicited corpses.

HAS Come one, come all, to the fall open­ ing of the Lotus millinery parlors, West McHenry, on Saturday, Septem' her 25. i^it Don't forget the fall opening at the feotus millinery. West McHenry, on Saturday, Sept. 23. 13-it LADY WANTED--To learn the art of tailoring. Inquire of or write to J. D. Lodtz, McHenry, 111. 11-tf George Busse, brother of fOnii6r Mayor Fred A. Busse, of Chicago narrowly escaped death Sunday in the corral on his farm at Fox Lake when he was gored by an angry bull. Three ribs and one leg were broken when he was hurled against the fence, and only the quick action of his chauffeur, who threw a lariat about one of the legs of the infuriated beast, saved him from fatal injuries. It was feared by physicians that he was injured internally. The bull was the terror of the neigh­ borhood and Busse knew he was taking his life in his hands by entering the inclosure, but the animal seemed gentle as he stroked its nose from the outside and he climbed thru the fence. As he was patting the beast on the flank the bull suddenly turned and knocked him down before he could jump to safety. While Busse lay prostrate (the bull rolled him over on the ground, crush­ ing his body with his head until he was unable to rise to his feet; he attempted to roll under the fence. At that mo­ ment the chauffeur jumped over the fence and succeeded in hurling a noose about one of the bull's front legs and dragged him to his knees. The chauffeur carried the injured man to the hoiise and summoned physicians. "I knew I was taking my Kfe in my hands," said Busse, "but as I was stroking his nose he seemed so gentle that on the impulse of the moment I climbed over and began to stroke his flank. When I was knocked down, be­ fore I even had a chance to move, I thought that I would surely be killed before help arrived. As he gored me he trampled on my body with his fore feet and fairly squeezed the breath from my lungs. "I felt my ribs cracking and tried to roll under the fence. Just then I lost consciousness and did not come to un­ til I found myself in the bouse the doctor attending to my injuries." L. H.

TIE RACE IS RUN OFF REBECCA WINS RACE AFTER TWO OTHER BOATS MEET WITH ACCIDENTS. The tie r^ce for the Power Boat club cup was^runoff over the McHenry course last Sunday afternoon. Another race was announced to take place, but owing to very inclement weather this event was not pulled off, the run-off of the tie being substituted. The race from the start was a dandy, the handicapping as near perfect as it was possible to make it. The Eleanor, which won the first heat, was started first, with the Babe VI and Rebecca following in the order named. The first half of the course was covered in almost perfect time by all contestants and a close and exciting finish was looked for. In spite of the fact that both the Eleanor and Babe VI met with acci­ dents on the home stretch, the boats made a close finish. The Eleanor, with a broken bolt in the base of the engine, finished twenty-nine seconds after the Rebecca, the winner making the course in nineteen minutes and thirty seconds. Win. Stxjffel, Sr., the machinist on the Eleanor, exhibited good judgment and rare gam en ess by keeping the boat in. the race thru the aid of a wrench. The rudder on the Babe VI broke just as the craft was rounding the bend near F. M. Goodman's place. Arthur Hunter, Jr., who ran the boat, was not to be outdone by his older competitor. Wm. Stoffel, and finished the race, t-lwi craft being directed along the course by its youthful captain thru tine .swing­ ing of his body and the use ofhis arms. Had not,the two boats met with the mishaps that they did the finish would have been the closest and most excit­ ing of the season. As it was, the race proved a hummer. EXEl UTOR'S NOTICE. Chtwi. S.
