It all happened at Dundee last Fri­ day night. While some seventy-five scholars of the public school were dis­ playing their theatrical talents before an appreciative audience at the Mc­ Henry auditorium, the basket ball team was down at Dundee licking the Dun^e high school team. T&e,\game was an exceptionally fast one lUra somewhat on the rough order. During the halves both teams were warned against their roughness, but it just seemed that the athletes all went deaf, as. the advice given them was heeded but little. However, the spec­ tators present were given an opportU' nity of witnessing one of the most hair raising basket ball exhibitions ever pulled off in that eity. Dundee opened the game with a rush and during the* first ten minutes of play Dundee had everything their own way, the home lads succeeding in piling up ten points during that time. After this McHenry took a brace and by the time the whistle sounded the end of the first half the score keeper announced the score a tie at twenty all. With the opening of the second half both teams seemed ready for a battle royal and this it certainly was, as the game was a tie up to the last minute of play, when McHenry made a free throw, netting them one point, and the game ended with a score of 31 to 30 in favor of our boys. Owing to the sickness of the Bons- lett brothers the McHenry team made the trip to Dundee shy of these two players, who have proven themselves valuable assets ever since the opening of the season. The substitutes were used in their places and once more demonstrated that they can be relied upon whenever needed. The line-ups of the two teams follow: Herald] Whether there fs a tie-up !n the Woodst-ock postottice contest similar to that existing at Belvidere and Elgin, Republican have already served thirteen months beyond the terms of their commissions or whether it will be settled in the course of ten days, will be known next week, say those who are especially In­ terested in the mix-up. The term of W. S. McConnell, coun­ ty seat postmaster, expired with the beginning of this month, tho he did not assume his duties until March 1, so that his commission has already ex­ pired. . If there should be a situation such as that in the offices at Belvidere and Elgin, Mr. McConnell will serve indefinitely. Governor Dunne is understood to have given his endorsement to John Bolger for the county seat postmaster- ship and it is claimed he is very anxious that his candidate receive the appointment. Thos. E. Graham, min­ ority representative, is claimed by both Bolger and Donnelly, but which one he will finally decide to stay with on the show down is hard to predict. Senator James Hamilton Lewis is tbe real works in the appointment, however, since the pow^r of confirma­ tion belongs to him. At the outset of the contest it was believed the gallant senator was for Donnelly, but with Governor Dunne taking a hand for Bolger many are inclined to believe that the senator and the,governor will be together there, as they have In other places where contests have been waged. The federal combination of Dunne-Lewis-Harrison still exists in opposition to Roger Sullivan and the state organization and thus far Presi­ dent Wilson seems to have the real affection for the triumvirate rather than for Roger C. John Hayes, Jr., has become an active candidate for the county seat postmastership, too, having lined up eight or ten of the county central com­ mitteemen, among the number being the group who reside in the northwest part of the county, Committeemen Phalen, O'Brien and Brickley giving their endorsement to his candidacy. As Hayes figures it, the contest be- tween Bolger and Donnelly may re­ sult in a compromise and he wants to be on vantage ground in case of such an emergency. But Woodstock is not the only place where there is a stiff fight on for the postmastership within the Democratic ranks. Over at McHenry, inoldCenter- ville, Thos. J. Walsh and John Freund are avowed aspirants, the former hav­ ing been on the waiting list ever since the Princeton professor entered the white house. Tom has been the Dem­ ocratic warhorse at McHenry ever since his father in-law, the late Rich­ ard Bishop, passed the scepter to him. But, now a member of the Freund fam­ ily arises to wrest the honors from him. And it is said Governor Dunne will be called on to help in the emer­ gency. Thos. E. Graham has endorsed Mr. Walsh. The Marengo postoffice is also un­ settled, the term of Postmaster Sco- field expiring with the close of this month. James Cleary and P. F. Boyle are the aspirants there, the former carrying with him the endorsement of the Sullivan organization, while the latter is figuring on help from the state executive. mmM Dundee (90) (Jothard Ivf.

Mary Schreiner, West McHenry, I1L A HIGH HONOR Thomas Valentine Purcell was the violinist chosen unanimously by the American Guild of Violinists to play upon the violins entered in the contest before that body of artists. More than twenty violins were tested, and their aggregate value was over 8100,000. Mr. Purcell was chosen for this ardu­ ous task because he is universally ac­ knowledged to be the peer of nearly all artists in producing a full, beautiful tone from almost any violin, He played upon the instruments blind* folded and the test was absolutely fair, the same selection being played upon all^the violins. It is interesting to note that one of his own violins, a Jacobus Stainer valued at $7,000, was slipped into the contest informally without his knowledge, and passed through his hands as "No. 15" without his recogv nizing it, and winning marks entitling it to third place if it bad been formally entered. It was Mr. Purcell who created a furore twenty years ago as a five year old prodigy, and with his wealth of inherited talent, trained by the foremost masters of Europe and America, he is today a real violinist as well as a great artist. He will appear here with the Schubert company to>- night at the school auditorum. LOOKED FOR ARMIN WHITCOMB Chenoa (111.) Times: Richard B. Walsh of McHenry spent several hours in our city between trains on Monday evening. He is selling stocks and bonds for a big company and had been at Gridley on business, going to Bloom- ington from Chenoa on the Hummer. The editor knew Dick when the latter was a wee tot of a boy and had a very pleasant visit with him at the depot. Dick is a personal friend of Armin Whitcomb, who spent some time at McHenry several years ago, and he looked for him about town, but, lo, Armin could not be found. So, great­ ly to his regret, Dick had to leave Chenoa without seeing him. INFANT BURIED HERE The remains of infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Reiger, who re­ side on a farm nea^„ Wauconda, were brought to this village for burial last Thursday morning. The funeral took place from St- Patrick's church. Mrs. Reiger was formerly Miss Birdie Walmsley of tfcis plififi.
