Wilbur Lumber Co. 'Phone 5 West McHenry, III. ' - The McHenry highs suffered their season's second defeat at the hands of the Crystal Lake highs at Crystal Lake last Friday night, when the •locals were defeated' by the close score of 33 to 25. McHenry put up one of the fastest and best games of the season, while the Crystal Lake outfit also displayed rare form, thus giving the big crowd of fans one of the best games seen at Crystal Lake this season. McHenry more than held its own in the first half, when it looked as if the honors of the evening would surely go­ to the locals, the half ending with our boys leading their opponents by three points, the score being 14 to 11. Crystal Lake came back strong in the second half and soon had the score tied. After this it was a see-saw, first our boys would be in the lead and then Crystal Lake would be ahead. The game continued a toss-up until the last few minutes of play, when, by some good basket shooting coupled with one or two lucky throws, the Crystal Lake boys succeeded in head­ ing McHenry off, with the result that the game ended with the score stand­ ing as indicated above. The McHenry outQt put up a fine' article of ball, their team work stand­ ing out quite prominently, while their accuracy in basket shooting also showed a vast improvement. Leonard Frett at center was kept busy thru- out the entire game and it just seemed as if the entire Crystal Lake team was watching him at all times. The game not only proved fast and interesting, but a clean one as well, very few fouls having been made by the members of either team. The line-ups and scores follow: Crystal Lake (33) McHenry (25) Hayford L. F. C, Frett Lowell R. F. Barbian Ritt C. L. Frett Cowan R. G. Bickler. Uteg L. G.

MARENGO PROVES EASY VICTIM CRYSTAL LAKE WINS AGAIN McHenry Highs Put Up Greet Battle ' Against Opponents McHenry Town, Team /'Has Little Trouble In Defeating Visitors The Marengo town basket ball team, which came to McHenry last Saturday evening to do battle with the fast McHenry town team, proved the easiest proposition that the locals have been up against this season, Mc­ Henry walking away with the even­ ing's honors in an easy manner. The final score was 48 to 10. The visitors were outclassed in every sense of the word and proved a very poor match for the locals, who have been going at top-notch speed all season. Robison and Miller, as usual, were the pointmakers for the locals and when these two fleet footed athletes get to going there is no stopping them. These two stars, with the faultless support of Reihansperger, Hunter and Justen, worked with ma­ chine-like precision and before Ma­ rengo had time to realize that the game was on, the locals were shoot­ ing the ball #iru the wicket with such marked regularity that the fans found it a difficult task to keep tab on the Score. However, the scorekeeper by working at top notch speed kept the crowd fairly well posted and ev­ eryone was happy. Marengo tried hard to stop the speed artists from our town, but it was of no use, as McHenry absolutely refused to be stopped and the pastime went merrily on until the locals decided that they had points enough. The boys then threw their motors into second speed and thus saved the visitors from a more severe beating. The score and line-ups follow: McHenry (48) Marengo (10) Robison L. F. Donner Reihansperger - R. F. Alexander Miller C. Hansing Hunter R. G. O'cock Justen L. G. G. Kelly Groom, Meyers Subs J.

JOHN3B0RG Our schools are Still closed, but it Is hoped that conditions here will warrent their reopening at an early date. Work on the parish hall basement is now at a complete standstill altho activities will be resumed with the opening of milder weather. H. B. Hettermann has received no­ tice that the price of the Ford run­ abouts and touring cars has advanced $90. However, he doesn't believe this will effect prospective sales. Victor Allen has moved his family into the Mrs. Peter Freund house in this village and expects to make this his home until he finds a farm. He moved here from a farm near Spring Grove. Mr. and Mrs. Carter Blatchford of Chicago, who have a summer home on the river near this village, were out for a Sunday visit. They are anxious­ ly awaiting the opening of the spring season. a Benny Smith, who for some time past has been employed at the Wood­ stock typewriter .factory, returned home Monday of this week and ex­ pects to work with his father the coming spring and summer. Mrs. Geo. Nell is here from Dakota visiting among relatives and friends. She expects to remain in this vicinity until about the first of April, when she will return to her farm out west. Mrs. Nell appears to be well satisfied with the west and is looking forward to a profitable season. The Lady Foresters held their reg­ ular meeting at the parish hall on Tuesday afternoon of this week. The meeting was well attended and proved a most profitable one. En­ thusiasm seems to grow among the members with the holding of each meeting and by next year our court hopes to show a very substantial in­ crease in membership. Peter N. Freund A very sad death occurred at the home of Math* N. Freund at Johns- burg on Sunday evening, Feb. 17, when his only son, a young man in the prime of life, passed away. Peter N. Freund was first taken down with tuberculosis of the glands four years ago and ever since that time his health has been impaired. His condition grew steadily worse un­ til a month or so ago, when it was seen by those nearest and dearest to him that he would never survive the disease that had taken hold on him and he passed peacefully away, the direct cause of his death being tuberculosis. The deceased was born and raised at Johnsburg, where he has always made his home. He was educated in the Catholic school of that place and after making his first ^communion from St. John the Baptist church he followed several vocations in life, his last employment being at the Hetter- man garage. He first saw the light of day on the sixth day of June, 1892, and would have been twenty-six years of age had he lived until the sixth of June next. On Sept. 10, 1913, he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Lay. One child was born to this union, she having preceded him in death the 22nd day of July, 1917. His mother had preceded him in the journey to the unknown land, she having departed this life on the 4th day of August, 1911. Besides a grief stricken wife, he leave a father and three sisters, Mrs. Joseph Kline, Mrs. Joseph Nett of Johnsburg and Mrs. Nicholas Nett of Ringwood, who were at his bedside when he breathed his last. Mr. Freund was a member of St. John's court, C. O. F., of Johnsburg, in which society he carried a $1,000 life insurance policy. He was a young man of excellent habits and a friend to all who had the pleasure of his ac­ quaintance. His untimely death has caused a deep gloom in the family circle as well as among his hundreds of friends. The funeral took place from the Johnsburg Catholic church at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week and despite the cold weather and bad roads the services at the church were largely attended. Brother For­ esters from both the Johnsburg and McHenry courts attended the funeral in a body. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the cemetery adjoining the church. Card of Thanks We, the undersigned, wish thru the columns of The Plaindealer to thank the many kind relatives, neighbors and friends for their assistance and sym­ pathy extended during our recent sickness and death. Afiso do we wish to thank the members of the Catholic order of Foresters for the respect shown our beloved one. _ Math. N. Freund and Family. Mrs. Peter N. Freund.
