WEBER No. 12 SPECTATORS, WITNESS THRILLS AT RACES WRITES AUGUST 10 FROM LUXEMBOURG Muuibuig Ptetor Describes. Seeftfei Along Rhine As He Continues His Tour Another interesting letter was reicoived this week by the Plaindealer "iBditor from Father William Weber, pastor of St. John's church at Johnskwrg, which is as follows: Luxembourg, Gare, * i Aug. 10, 1928. Dm Editor; In my native land of Luxembourg, in the beautiful, romantic valley of the Mosel, where on each side can be seen the vineyards where Viow the grapes are ripening, which are used to make the famous Mosel wines, I greet you, ®y devoted native land, I bring to you " He greetings of my beloved adopted t land, sweet land of liberty, the home of the brave. Standing here on the ahores of the Mosel, I hear the voice <>f the silent' flowing waters in gladness jrespond: "The Mosel greets the Fox." Having described the "Drachenfels" la my last letter (Dragon's Rock, Where the legend tells that Siegfried v flew the dragon), my Rhineland tour I brings me to Coblenz. This city is situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel, and at the point where these two rivers unite, a huge and imposing monument to Emporer William I is erected, known as "Deutsches Bck" (German Corner). On the opposite side of the river is Ehrenbreitstein, with its impressive fort, towering 383 feet above the Outboard Races Sponsored by the McHenry Boat Club Furnish Sport For River Fans Spectators at Sunday's outboard * \ races on the Fox River, at McHenry, witnessed the fastest time ever made over the course. H. W. Ferris would have xun in the 1928 Class C, but while warming up his fast outboard before the race, he turned over, an action which furnished onlookers with a thrill. • Black Gold, one of the fast boats in the Class D races, was forced out through faulty gasoline. Barco, when turning at the buoy on the lower end of the course, misjudged his distance and struck the buoy. This resulted in a hole in the boat, but through skillful driving-he was able to finish in second place. The race results follow: First Race, 1927 Class C--First, "Bill's Baby," driver, Bill Swinehart; second, "W-II," driver, Warren Trostrud; third, "Barco," driver, Ray Rothermel; fourth, "Flying Cloud," driver, Carl Schmidt.

Snspicfoa That RoHbery ofl«ocaI Bank Was Planned In Juliet Penitentiary Every effort is being put forth by Sheriff Sanford and other McHenry county officials, as well as the Chicago police, to capture the bandits who robbed the West McHenry State Bank of $11,009.19 on Monday of last week. New clues are being followed up and investigated almost every day and Sheriff Sanford, wtto has been on the job almost night and day since the robbery took place, was at Crown Point, Ind., Monday and has made numerous trips to Chicago and other cities, trying to obtain information which would lead to the arrest of the other members of the gang. Find Charred Body of Woman The burned and unrecognizable body of a woman, believed to be that of Adeline Zaccard, who knew the inside story of the local bank robbery, was found near Crown Point on Wednesday of last week. Cyaupled with the discovery of the slug-riddled body of Angelo Francisco in a cornfield near Mount Prospect. Wednesday afternoon, led to the combing of the surrounding territory by the police for further clues of the bandits. Miss Zaccard was the sweetheart of Angelo Francisco, a member of the bandit gang, who was shot and killed by Edward Nickels while fleeing in an automobile with four companions immediately following the holdup. Although her body could not be definitely identified police are working on the theory that she is Adeline Zaccard and they now think that she also was shot while participating in the bank robbery in this city. Information given police indicates that both Francisco and Miss Zaccard were shot as they fled from the bank and some of the witnesses who saw the car tell of a woman in the car with the bandits who were disguised as farmers in overalls. Shot Through Both Cheeks The single bullet which hit Miss Zaccard passed through both cheeks and was not sufficient to cause death although wounding her painfully. According to a theory of the investigators it is thought that if the bandits sought surgical aid they risked capture and so the murder of the woman was decided upon as the safest method. While women have played an important part in the careers of many notorious gansters, they have for the most part remained in the background as far as the public has been concerned, with the wife or sweetheart practically shielded from the frequent violence that makes gang life precarious. This is the first instance of a woman being "taken for a ride" which is the usual method employed in getting an intended vicitm to a desolate spot where he may be killed and setting fire to the clothing was without precedent in modern gang killings. Mysterious telephone calls to Francisco's home and to Miss Zaccard's relatives by va woman who said she was Miss Zaccard after the body was discovered, strengthened the connection of Miss Zaccard with the holdup. It is also now believed that the robbery was plotted and directed from a cell in the Joliet Penitentiary by the very men who robbed the bank in 1925. Willie WJiite, Tommie Shupe and Eddie Cosgrove were among those implicated in the previous bank robbery and also the <80,000 International Harvester robbery. They were familiar with the bank and might easily have directed its second holdup. Cosgrove was convicted in the court of McHenry county and was sentenced to a long term in the penitentiary, where he is still confined. There is a chance that he may have been ir.i communication with Bernardo Roa, escaped Joliet convict, while the latter was serving time in the state institution. Nickels Commended Edward H. Nickels, employed in the Kamholz hardware store directly abross from the bank, whose quick action resulted in a rain of shots being poured into the bandit car as it left McHenry, following the robbery, received the following letter of commendation frotn the Illinois Bankers association: "According to all reports your quick action and good marksmanship on the occasion of the robber of the West McHenry State bank ^brought about the death of one of the robbers, his body being found in an abandoned automobile near Mount Prospect. "We tender you our sincere thanks for your proficiency in this respect. The gratitude of all bankers and especially the citizens of McHenry is due you for the spirit which prompted you to volunteer for town guard service. • •'With great respect, I am "."Very truly yours, "A. M. Graettinger, Secretary." Nickels is on* of an army of 3,500 moa who have volunteered to act as town guards under the system of community protection planned and organized by the Illinois Bankers association. Each of these town guards is a deputy sheriff duly sworn in and acting under the authority of the 102 counties in the state. The county fed- Tries To Devise Ways and Means For Paying Bonds and Coupons Now Due \ The ajdourned meeting of the city board was called to order at 8:30 p. m. at the city hall with the mayor, clerk and all aldermen present. The meeting ws\s called for the purpose of doming ways and means for paying coupons and a few bonds due Aug. 1 for which there are no available funds at the present time. After much pointed and heated discussion from moat of the aldermen it was the understanding that this condition has been brought about by previous boards having used for necessary expenses the money received by the city treasurer from the county treasurer, received by him from delinquents assessments and for which he did not notify the city treasurer what accounts to give credit, thus the funds went into the general account and were used rather than being credited to the proper assessment funds. As one illustration, assessment No. 7 for the sewer on Richmond road, appears to be about 50 per cent short. It ipas brought out at the meeting "that the Chicago Title & Trust Co., are particularly interested in having the assessments straightened out on tht above mentioned assessment No. 7. No one seemed to have any means of correcting the trqubles or telling exactly who was to blame, or if anyone was at fault, and when the meeting adjourned the problem was no nearer solution than when the meeting was called to order. ' The only direct action of the evening taken was the motion by Aid. Knox, seconded by Stoffel, that the bill of over a year's standing for stars to be attached to automobiles in use by some of the aldermen and the mayor should be ordered not paid .allowing the individuals using the stars to pay for the stars themselves. The balance of the bill for badges was approved and ordered paid. The meeting adjourned at o'clock.

The spirit of wanderlust has, indeed, consumed the people of this vicinity for the last few weeks and in these columns will be found accounts of many residents who are enjoying vacations this week and following routes in every direction of the compass The following is an account of three interesting vacation trips just completed by well known residents of this vicinity who returned home recently. Visit Niagara Falls Mr. and Mrs. George H. Johnson anil children returned home Sunday from a week's motor trip to Niagara Falls and Canada where, much beautiful and interesting scenery was enjoyed. The trip to the Falls was made through Indiana and Ohio to New York state, much of the journey from Cleveland to Buffalo being made along the shores of Lake Erie. At Conneaut, Ohio, on Lake Erie are to be found the largest ore docks in the world and herfe a most interesting sight was witnessed" as huge boats loaded with ore drew into the docks and were unloaded, to be filled again with coal, a whole carload being dumped into a boat at one time. As they motored along the shores of Lake Erie they came to the Welland Canal, where its placid waters wind through fields and villages from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. From here it was not far to those famous falls called by the Indians, "Thundering Waters." Nowhere in thfc United States is there a sight of greater beauty and splendor than these mighty Niagara Falls, back of which are four of the Great Lakes, Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior. When the overflow from these lakes enters the Niagara river, it flows quietly between- its wide banks until it reaches the rapids, a little way above the Falls.

BuiDing Another Addition 7 to Riverside Drive Another one of the improvements for which Riverside Drive is noted is nearly completed and Kent & Co., real estate dealers, moved into the fine new building which will be their home, this week. The large building, which is owned by the brothers, Roy and M. J. Kent, who constitute the firm of Kent & Company, was put up in a seemingly short time and is now ready for occupancy. The building consists of three store rooms* the middle one being occupied by the real estate offices of the owners. From Riverside Drive one enters a large general office, lighted by a large front plate glass window. Back of this are several smaller rooms, one> of which is the office of Roy Kent. Another room is the office of M. J. Kent, while still another office or directors' room will be the headquarters of the McHenry Building & Loan association. 'Signs were being painted oh the windows the first of the week by Charles Rietesel and the finishing touches are being made which add to the completeness of the building. Messrs.

The boys, who chafe at their confinement, especially during the summer months, have found a natural ally in the corn fields surrounding the school. The tall corn not only makes it easy for them to slip away, but also difficult for their pursuers to capture them. Eleven of the boys escaped last Friday, six on Saturday and six on Sunday. The majority of them made their getaway at night by lowering bed sheets from tho window and sliding down these.
