Fiance, Mini Hit ^ The McHenry Deers entertained the Elgin- Athletic basket ball team on the .jhome lloor last Saturday night before ja ^raall audience, the visitors coming out of the fray with flying colors. The contest went to the visitors be­ cause luck favored them. With an Neven break of luck MeHenry--would juave been an easy winner. In the first half of the contesit-everything seemed (to break in favor of the Elginites, they gathering in fourteen points while our lads were hugging a score of eight. " In the second half the locals dis­ played a reversal of form and {had the better of the argument ,al) the way i thru, but were unable to overcome the lead the down-river boys had taken in i the first. For McHenry, Hunter appeared as the shining light, be scoring twelve of bur points. He is credited with five baskets and two free throws. Coleman ' "^"Starred for Elgin with three baskets and five ^ree throws, totaling eleven points. \ While the home team hated like sin to lose this game, they feel satisfied that they gave one of the best amateur teams in the northern part of the state hard run for the bacon.

Ben Buss, Jr., rejoices at tha ar­ rival of a young lady boarder at his residence. Weight, five pounds. A. Henderson, of the firm of Fitz- simmons & Henderson, reports an eight pound girl at his residence. Who says our population is not increasing? Wm» Hutson, another Old resident, died at his home west of this village on Saturday last, aged eighty-six years. His funeral was held on Monday from the Methodist church and his reiftains deposited in Woodland cemetery. We learn that the wife of Mosely Buckland died at Lake Geneva, Wis., Monday morning? They formerly re­ sided in this village, where Mrs. Auck­ land had many warm friends, who deeply sympathize with the liereaved husband in his great loss.. Died--At her- home in Waukegan, 111., Dec. 23, 1888, Bertha, wife of John A. Sutherland, .and daughter of Mrs. Frank Kines or Fox Lake, aged 19 years and 8_ months. Deceased has been married but a few days over a year and her death thus, in early womanhood, was very sad, and a severe blow to her husband, relatives and friends at Fox Eake. The Good Templars of this village are to have a New England supper at the city hall on the 15th inst. ~ Will dress in costume and all who wish are invited to do so.

He was_ar- rested Monday night in the unoccupied bouse of Mrs. H. E. Walker at Ring- wood, into which he htid forced an en­ trance and evidently was preparing to take permanent possession. ? The house was partly furnished and it is proved that after he gained an entrance he appropriated an oil can and walked to McHenry, where he bought a gallon of kerosene oil and a box of matches. This was between five and six o'clock Monday afternoon. He was then lost sight of until he again made his ap­ pearance at the Walker house in Ring- wood about 12 o'clock at night, when he was captured by those lying in yvait for them. It was afterwards ascer­ tained that between the time he bought the oil here and his return to Ring- wood he had been to a farmer's house four miles south of this village, where after making threats he had been driven away. A state warrant was sworn out against him and he had an examination before Esquire Perry on Tuesday morning, which being so un­ satisfactory it was adjourned until to­ day. It was impossible to find out his name, as he j*ave three or four differ­ ent ones and no one in this section seems to know him, altho he appears to know the naroes of many here and in Ringwood. He is a man of small stature, thirty or thirty five years of age, sandy complexion and a foreigner, evidently a German, altho he claims to be a Polander. His examination will be concluded today, when he will probably be sent to Woodstoek jail. As we said before, he 4s either a luna­ tic or a rascal and it is hard to say which. At all events he is not a safe man to be at large and should be taken care of in some way. Who he la A* JANUARY 9, 1889. John Myers has commenced filling the private ice houses in this village. John F. Claxton reports the arrival of a daughter at his residence on Sun­ day. Weight, pounds. v Simon Stoffel is happy over the arrival of a young lady boarder at his Residence. Weight, nine pounds. The ice harvest was commenced here on Tuesday by Shedd & Co. of Chicago. There is only about eight inches of ice and the weather decidedly soft. The notice last week of the arrival of a young lady boarder at the resi­ dence of Ben Buss, Jr., should have read eight pounds. We accept of the apology. Cbas. Guerin of Chelsea, Michigan, with his family, have taken up their residence in this village. Mr. Guerin is said to be an experienced butter maker and will probably' engage in that business here as soon as favorable opportunity offers. Before the November election the Chicago Evening Journal offered prizes for guesses on the majorities in the so-called doubtful states and for gover­ nor of Illinois, and under date of the 10th idstant Herbert Bennett of this village received the following; Chicago, 111., Jan. 10, 1889. Herbert Bennett, McHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--In the "guessing contest' for the so-called doubtful states and for governor of Illinois" you have won the third prize on West Virginia. The majority for Cleveland was 836 and your guess was one thousand, being within 161 of the correct number. You will therefore receive the Daily Jour­ nal for three months. Please acknowl­ edge receipt and oblige, JOHN R. WILSON. Herbert Bennett is a son of ,L. E. Bennett, photographer, of this village, and is only about twelve years old.
