A REAL FISH STORY AT FOX LAKE SEES FISH ON TREE. Ever see a fish growing on a tree? Neither did anybody else; but an amateur fisherman thought he saw cme a few days ago and had quite a shock in consequence. It happened at Fox Lake, where lots of things happen --strange things, too.. The man was fishing from a small flat bottomed boat. He had a nice long bamboo pole-, about thrice as tall as himself, which he manipulated with a weird sort pf skill which ap­ palled his watchers. It was apparently a bass, and a bi^ one. How a fish of that size could ever be caught at Fox Lake nobody could figure oat. At any rate Mr. Fish was swi nming calmly along thru the mud­ dy water, thinking of home and moth­ er, or something like that, when he ran head first into Mr. Man's hook. He didn't swallow it--didn't even open his mouthy it is said. But the hook somehow got caught somewhere on his nose, or whatever a,fish's nose is called, and caught him as nicely as you please. Of course the fish was real "mad." He jumped and 1 kicked and squirmed and "rassled" and nearly upset the doughty fisherman, who hadn't hoped to cat^h a fish any larger than a half pound perch. When it dawned upon the man, finally, that he had a whale or a shark, or at least a dolphin, on •his line he forgot all the rules he had so carefully learned and gave a mighty- heave. At that moment the watchers on shore saw a pair of manly heels soar skyward and a big fish whirred thru the air at the end of a -iohg line and hung dripping from a high limb of a tree on shore. There was a resound­ ing splash--then all was still. But only for a moment. Then the man's head appeared <ibove the water. He sputtered and fumed and then ex­ temporized at considerable length on fish and on other subjects which were quite irrevelant. When he reached shore and had dried himself thoroly he sent a little boy from a neighboring camp up the tree after the fish, which was only a red horse, or scavenger fish, after all, and quite uneatable. Oh, but that angler was wroth- yea, even unto fury. ANOTHER BANKER CONE BAD. 'There is hardly a day but that the daily readers of the newspapers do not hear of some defuncted bank going to the wall from bad speculations or the embezzlement of the depositors' money. In "A Millionaire Tramp," a four-act comedy drama w^ich is to appear at the Central opera house on Sunday evening, Oct. 15, we will have the story vividly told of an unscrupulous bank president who has been a reject­ ed suitor for the hand of his cashier's bride, plots and plans to ruin and blast the good name of the cashier by placing the crime of embezzlement upon him and is aided by a willing tool who has been a clerk in the bank. 11-1 WEDDING DANCE AT BUCK'S HALL. A wedding dance will take place at Buch's hall hereon Wednesday even­ ing of next week. October 18. The " event promises to be an especially en­ joyable one and a general invitation is extended Wall to be present. Chris Hapke's Libertyvjjle orchestra, which la the past has appeared prfuiy times In McHenry and vicinujfjrfyfl which on •very visit has given entire satisfac­ tion, will be present to Mirnish the music for the occasion, l/on't forget the date and be on hao& for a good time. <•<;' i See the fall <$Jld Jf|nt*r exhibit of distinctive hats at Mrs. E. W. Howe's. X 17-1 Taylor Bros, of Hebron ltttt week oompleted the four wells for this cor­ poration as per contract, and they were accepted by the committee. The McHenry Brick Manufacturing company is rushing business these days and have orders for every brick they c^n make before cold weather sets in The Ringwood dramatic club goes to Hebron on Saturday evening of this week, where they will bring out the drama of "Waiting for the Vei'dict" and the rdaring farce of "McFlynn's Appointment." The little girl of C. Sabel of Volo, --ho was reported last week as myster- ously missing, was found at her aunts " i Waultegan. She had taken this ay to avoid going to school. She had ^yeled about eighteen miles. Af the fickle factory of W. A. risty, in this village, they have taken about 15,000 bushels of cucumbers this season, only about half what they have usually taken in from the same acreage in former years. The dry weather was the cause of the short crop. Quite a number from this place at­ tended the dramatic entertainment at Ringwood on Saturday evening last, and it is the unanimous verdict that it was one of the best entertainments ever given by home talent in this sec­ tion. The house was well filled each evening, making it'a financial success as well. Quite an excitement"**was created in town on Monday 'morning by the re­ port that Henry Smith's trotting horse, •'Jockey," had been stolen. He had been turned out on the Howe fans the past few weeks and on Monday morn­ ing was missing. He was found, how­ ever, a few miles east, having jumped out and strayed away. ""A double buggy, containing two ladies and two gentlemen, named Monaghan, we believe, of Lake coun­ ty, was run into on Friday evening last by Frank Quigley's team, while coming from the depot. The hind wheel of the buggy was badly mashed, the axle busted and the occupants much frightened. It was fortunate that no one was hurt. It is seldom we can boast of fresh strawberries in October, but F. G. Mayes left some on our desk on Tues­ day, picked from the garden of Mrs. L. A. Clark in this village on that day. They were of good size, plump and nice and perfectly ripe. On the same vines were several green ones and numerous blossoms. Who in this lo­ cality can show the like? The Howe block, near the iron bridge, which has so long been an eye­ sore to the residents of that part of the village, is being overhauled, re­ paired, painted and put in shape gen­ erally, and when completed will not only present a very handsome and be­ coming appearance, but will be in as good condition for occupancy as any building in the village. The two old buildingsj next to Engeln's have been torn out entirely, which of itself is a great improvement. The upper part of the block has been newly painted, papered and arranged suitable for four families, the yards will be surrounded by high board fences, each seperate from the other, and in short everything fixed up in a substantial and neat man­ ner. When it is all completed it will bear great improvement to that part iemr PERSONAL ITEMS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST its ncro IT IY rUiNKALER t£- KlRTCRS DURING WEEK.

"A Millionaire Tramp" will be pre­ sented by one of the best comedy com­ panies that the management could put together, with all of the necessary scenic surroundings to give the story its proper coloring. Many new and novel specialties will be present dur­ ing the action of the comedy. At the Central Sunday, Oct. 15. 17-1 The story told in "A Millionaire Tramp" is founded on actual occur­ rences and presents characters in every day life in some of the big cities and is only brought to light by the watchful eye of the government sleuths, and wrongs righted und the guilty finally getting their just rewards. At the Central Sunday night, Oct. 15. 17-1, Monday was state fire prevention day and, while the day was not official­ ly observed in McHenry, we are told that a number of our residents took time enough to do a little cleaning about their premises and homes. It has been held by authorities that the majority of the fires start from rubbish that is allowed to accumulate and by keeping this cleared away it is declared a large portion of the fire waste will be eliminated. If every property own­ er as well as tenant would set aside a few minutes each day for the good of this cause we believe the people would be money ahead. It would not only eliminate losses by fire, but would also reduce the insurance rate.
