CONSPIRACY CASE / AGAIN CONTINUED Attorney Hadley and Court Fail T» Agree On Date to Try Big Indictment There seems to be little or no chance of the "big conspiracy case" to go to trial this summer. This was evident Wednesday morning when Charles W. Hadley, special prosecutor of McHenry county, appeared before Judge £. D. Shurtleff seeking a date for the trial of the "blanket indictment.

While Mr. Stewart was sheriff of McHenry county during the'late portion of 1921, he was called upon in the performance of his duty as an official to serve legal instruments on a defendant yliving at Crystal Lake. The latter was a Chicago lawyer^ but bis Crystal Lake residence was only temporary, it was set up in the proceeding in the Chicago co^ift Max Robinson, the attorney, was cited to appear in the county court of McHenry county to make a report of his acts in an estate of which he was the legal representative.

During the years of constant toil and thrift this family worked three neighboring farms and in 1890 Mr. and Mrs. Coates purchased the William Langham home in Ringwood, where they made their home the remainder of their lives. As a father, grandfather, neighbor and friend to those who have known him, he will be remembered as being kind, willing and faithful in any enterprise which he undertook to do. Although often frail and poor in health, he kept up that wonderful spirit of fortitude until the end. For the past four winters Grandpa Coates stayed with either of his two older daughters, but during the warmer months he remained in his home where his oldest grandson, Wayne Foss, cared for him and the. homestead. * On May 30 he suffered a severe heart attack and since that time was obliged to be in bed. At noon on Jun^ 5, he answered the call of his Savior and went peacefully to ^eep at the advanced age of 80 years, 9 months and 24 days.

Fireproof E«aipatent The equipment installed is all of the newest, fireproof type with combination lock boxes and grating extending to the ceiling, making it possible to leave the lobby of the building open for patrons on Sundays and holidays. -The large parcel post window makes it most convenient to receive large parcel post packages and the drawerg at the money order window provide a great amount of room necessary for supplies, including stamps and other paraphernalia. The utmost convenience is provided for the stamping of letters, which can be placed in sacks held open at the end, °f the table ready to receive them while more sacks are held in racks farther back in the room ready to receive more mail. A steel cabinet against the south wall will hold the extra supplies for the office and next to thia is the postmaster's desk, while a table in the center of the room affords more' convenience for work.

Smith was struck by lightning and burned completely to th£ ground, with its occupants having a narrow escape with their lives. ^ Dr. and Mrs. Smith drove out from Chicago Tuesday evening, arriving at the cottage about 8 o'clock. They sat up for some time during the evening but when the lights went out they retired for the night and slept soundly until they were awakened about 1 o'clock, noticing a difficulty to breathe. They mund the room rapidly filling with smoke and as they hastily secured some wraps the house seemed to burst into flames and they were forced to leave without saving a thing. They ran to the Jacob Diedrich farm home nearby , where the fire alarm was turned in, but, although the fire truck hurried to the scene of the blaze, they were too late to save any of-the property. The summer home was located dn the east side of Fox River in Smith's Sunnybank subdivision and was a large bungalow about 28 by 50 feet in sise, and the loss will be a heavy one for the owner. Dr. Smith, who has an office in the Stevens building, phicago, has put many improvements upon the place, intending to make it his permanent summer , home and Intends to rebuild at once, this time erecting a fireproof structure. Many in this vicinity were awaken* ed by the sharp report as. the lightning struck, which was followed in » short time by the warning ft* fise siren. WEEKUf EXCHANGE ITEMS OF INTEREST!

The sum of |1200 per year was granted the sheriff to be used in such capacity. Sheriff Sanford has been a constant visitor at the board meetings for more than a year and has finally succeeded in securing what he thinks is a much needed necessity in his office. With the constant increase of work on papers and other matters. Sanford teals another helper is necessary. Mem berg of the board were unanimous in support of his demand, after a thorough hyrestigation was made of \the work connected with the sheriff's . office. The board also paaaed a resolution to be presented to federal authorities naking that the government pay at the rate of ninety cents per day for the knep of federal prisoners in the local eaunty jail. At present Sheriff San- Card is getting only sixty-five cents per day while in Lake county the sheriff is receiving nislbty cents and la Cook county $1.15. Members of the board agreed with the sheriff that ninety cents per day will be a Treasonable fee and such will be the demand hgr the sheriff in the future.

Receive Floral Gift In the large front window of the lobby of the building stood a mammoth basket of beautiful flowers presented by the business people of Riverside Drive who have, at last, seen the fulfillment of one of their fondest dreams. 1 For many years the McHenry postoffice has been located in Centerville, in fact, it has been situated there for so many years that only the older inhabitants of the city can remember any difference in location and its removal has come as a severe blow to the business people of that district as well as to many patrons of the office who are inconvenienced by the change of location. The postoffice has been centrally located in the Pries building on Green street for a long time, but owing to the demand for larger quarters the move became eminent. McHenry has had a postoffice since 1837 when the early settlers established one in the first years of their that the children carried out the entire program, with the scripture reading being given by one of the boys of the Sunday school who also led in repeating the Lord's prayer. The children were well-trained in their respective parts, with even the tiny tots gifing their recitations in a most pleasing manner and much credit is due to the chldren who took part in the exercises as well as to those who planned the selections and practiced with the children and by their efforts made the day a success. The church was beautifully decorated for the ocoasioh with a profusion of cut flowers and plants, while a lattice decorated with June roses completed a most artistic plan. The little folks are always interesting and the program Sunday was no exception with many of the juniors alsoassisting. >/ : , KITCHEN SHOWER Mrs. Charles Michels and Mrs. Paul Garisch entertained at a kitchen shower in honor of Miss Martha Miller, who will be a June bride.
