The surprise was indeed a complete one and it was several miputes before the victim recovered from the shock which usually accompanies such occa­ sions. A program, consisting of music, both vocal and instrumental, and recitations by Miss Dorothy Spen­ cer, made up a most sociable time, after which refreshments were par­ taken of. Mrs. Starritt was present­ ed with a beautiful cut glass vase and bunch of red carnations, one for each year of her age. The occasion was highly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. ^ ; Injured In Auto Accident Dr. D. G. Wells of this village was called to Fox Lake last Sunday aft­ ernoon to attend Miss Florence Speczak, who received painful injuries when a Ford roadster, in which she with two companions were riding, turned turtle. The accident occurred the road between Fox Lake and Ingleside, a newly graveled road caus­ ing the mishap. The two others in the car escaped with minor injuries, while the young lady was quite pain­ fully hurt, altho reports from there are to the effect that she is slowly recovering. No bones were broken. Children Not Allowed to Run Care Notice has been sent out by the state officials that the law, prohibit­ ing children under sixteen years of age from driving automobiles; will be enforced. The state law permits boys and girls' between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years to drive automobiles, when accompanied by their parents, guardians or some other adult person.

Witness our hamjs and seals this 20th day of October, 1915. E. L. Wagner, President. Carl W. Stenger, Cashier. 18-3t g|U * Editor Schoonmaker on Crutches Editor Chas. D. Schoonmaker of the Genoa (111.) Republican-Journal is navigating about with the aid of a pair of crutches as the result of an injury to his right leg sustained when he fell from a ladder. The former, McHenry scribe was in the act of chopping a large limb from a tree near his office in that city when the limb suddenly broke off, striking the ladder in the fall and letting the wood chopper down to the ground. Altho no bones were broken, the in­ jury has caused Mr. Schoonmaker more or less pain and his many friends here are hoping that he may soon recover from the injury. Former McHenry Girl Married Miss Frances Kimball, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kimball, former McHenry residents, but now living at Woodstock, was. united in marriage to Bert Hawley of Woodstock on Satur­ day, Oct. 23, the ceremony having been performed at Marengo. The bride, while a- resident here, attended the McHenry public school and many of the young folks of the village re­ member her favorably. Before her marriage the bride was employed in the assembling department of the Oliver typewriter factory at Wood­ stock. McHenry friends extend con­ gratulations. Complaint Against Dam Henry Ericcson of Pistakee Bay has filed complaint with the river and lakes commission against the Fox river dam and it would be advisable that all business men who can attend the public meeting to be held at room 905, State Bldg., 5th Ave. and Ran­ dolph St., next Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 9, at 2:00 o'clock. It is impor­ tant that McHenry is well represent­ ed at the meeting, especially the mem­ bers of the Fox River Navigable Wat­ erway association, as it is hard to tell what action may be taken. Church Bell Falls While ringing the bell at the Zion Lutheran church here last Sunday William Nickels came very near be­ ing seriously injured when the bell suddenly fell. That the bell, which weighs: about 1,600 pounds, did not crash thru the ceiling lies in the fact that the steeple is not high, the dis­ tance between the hangers and the ceiling being but a few feet. Had the steeple been ten or fifteen feet higher the bell would surely have crashed thru the ceiling. r A Surprise Robert Weber was the victim of a very pleasant surprise tendered him by a number of his classmates and little friends at the home of his grand­ mother, Mrs. Robert Schiessle, on Wednesday evening of last week, the event being given in honor of Robert's thirteenth birthday anniversary.
