Smith, proprietor of the Gage hotel at Harvard, has been indicted for selling. liquor in anti-saloon terri- tory. Battery F, 120th field artillery, which takes in troop F of Lake Gen- Dva, Wis., has arrived safely "over there." Thru the efforts of the Antioch Masonic Temple association the Masons of that village will soon enjoy a heme of their own. The Bruckner building has been purchased and will be used for the lodge purposes. The Lake Geneva city council has just let a contract for the construction of a new cement bridge over the out­ let of the lake. Work on the new structure is to begin as soon as weather w ill permit and the job is to be completed by the 10th of June. The contract price is $7,050. H. B. Gaston, formerly of Bridge­ port, 111., has purchased the Richmond Gazette, which was issued under the new ownership last week. Since the enlistment of the former editor, John Brill, the paper has been issued un­ der great difficulties. We welcome Mr. Gaston to the newspaper fold in Mc­ Henry county and wish him success. Serg. Clifton H. Merry of Camp Grant visited his home at Hebron a couple of days last week and while there succeeded in collecting $135.00, which is to be used by the members of CQmpany F for extras not supplied by the army. The extras include such things as tobacco, ice cream, etc. All of the McHenry county boys are mem­ bers of Company F. A prominent McHenry county bank­ er recently compiled a list of compar­ ative figures based on bank deposits in a rural community in McHenry county as against deposits in similiar towns in Wisconsin just outside of the Chicago dairy district. This banker was astonished to find that in the district where farmers raise more hogs and follow diversified farming, instead of dairying exclusively, the bank deposits of these farmers are many thousands of dollars higher than in the dairying locality. A traction engine, which stood in a village street in Antioch a long time, has caused a $5,000 damage suit against that village. It _ seems that Russell Brownell, an Antioch boy, lost several fingers on the machine and as a result of this his father brought action against the village to the amount of $5,000. The case was tried in circuit court at Waukegan last week and the jury in the case saw fit to award the plaintiff the damages to the extent of $1,716.95. The city of Antioch has petitioned Judge Edwards for a new trial and should this be re­ fused the case will be carried to the appellate court. Antioch people are of the opinion that the suit should have been instituted against the owner of the tractor engine rather than the village. • •• . • - v?,1 •• Big Auctiotit Of Registered Holstein-Friesian Cattle L.
