New Year's Party fob Peterson entertained a group friends at a theater and watch Council Votes To Permit Attorney Cow In TV> Hire Assistant In Bender Case The city council met In wgfiln session Monday at 8 p. m., Jan. 6, with all aldermen, clerk and mayor present. The minutes of previous meeting were read and approved, as well as the treasurer's, collector's and clerk's reports. The bills were r^ad and outside of verbal argument between Aid. Bonslett and Aid., Krentzer were soon approved and ordered paid as OK'd by the finance committee. Attorney Ccwlin reported court action on the bank cases and said that case was being continued. Also that summons had been issued on the mayor to appear in the Bender case. It seems that Mr. Bender is now suing for some $3,000, when he would have been glad to have received about fl ,200 a short time ago. Some of the aldermen think that very little of the Bender property was within the city limits. Most of the aldermen talked about hiring additional counsel, but Aid. Schaeffer was very insistent that the board turn to arbitration instead of to the courts. But when the matter came to a vote it was decided to allow Attorney Cowlin to employ his own.assistant. It seems that the old city treasurer's book of year 1921 has been discovered among the ruins of the defunct Citizens State Bank. As there are items entered here that are ahead of the auditor's report it is thought by the board that by employing the auditor to help the finance committee in checking that it might be possible to get some funds back into the general fund that are notr credited up to wrong accounts and in that way the city will be able to pay some of their assessments on paving and sewer. A proposal was read from the an# Anthony, of this city. The occafion was also the birthday anniversaly of Mrs. Tuttle, who nrasenteilwith a lovely gift.

CITY OF McHENRY CASE IS CONTINUED The case of the Citizens State Bank of MicHenry, successors to the Fox River Valley State Bank, against the city of McHenry was continued in the circuit court at Woodstock on Thursday, Jan. 2. The bank is seeking payment for anticipation warrants held by the bank against the city of McHenry. The warrants were issued by a former city administration. Fred Bennett and C. P. Barnes are acting as attorneys' for the bank, while Henry Cowlin, city attorney, is the opposing counsel. The present city administration refuses to pay the warrants unless they are ordered by the court. This is being done so that in case they are ordered to pay them there will be no teaction against the council members. On the same day Mrs. Leah Brown was awarded $1600 in the circuit court against the city of McHenry for 16, 000 loads of dirt used in filling on Route 20 through this city. The dirt was taken from the Brown property and the case is about six years old. The present McHenry city council and former members were present and testified in the case which was heard before Judge E. D. Shurtleff. V. S. Lumley represented Brown, while city attorney Henry Cowlin represented the city of McHenry. PALMER TO RUN FOR LEGISLATURE U CARROLL INTEBRAGE Chaa. W. Gibhs of McHenry Will Be Parmer Candidate Foe County Treasurer Supervisor Charles M. Palmer of Dunham township announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for member of the Illinois legislature in a visit to the Daily Sentinel Monday. Mr. Palmer was in a conference with a group of friends during the afternoon. The conference was called at a meeting of the McHenry County Farmers Republican club, and while there was only a small group in attendance at the meeting, it is the hope of Mr. Palmer's friends to win for him the support of the farmers, not only of McHenry county, but of Boone and Lake counties as well. Mr. Palmer's entry for the legislature is the first from McHenry county, which at present has no member in the legislature. In the primaries two years ago McHenry county had four candidates--Roy J. Stewart, Charles H. Francis, William Carroll and Peter W. Frett. All were defeated, the successful candidates being Lee McDonough an<] R. J. Lyons of Lake county and N. L. Jackson of Boone county. Carroll May Run While Mr. Palmer is the first entrant in the race from McHenry county, it is not probable that he will be the only one. Attorney William Carroll of Woodstock is regarded as a possible, if not probable entrant although he has not made an announcement as such. t Mr. Carroll's friends believe his chances this year of success are much better than they were two years ago, when the field was divided between the four candidates from McHenry county. They point to the fact that there were too many McHenry county candidates two years ago to cope successfully with the large vote in Lake county, but with perhaps only two candidates this" year from McHenry county the outlook will be much brighter. While Mr. Palmer will claim the honor of being the farmer candidate. FIFTY TWO COUPLES AT qOLDEN WEDDING LIONS BREAK MAACS WINNING STREAK Each Pmir Had Been Married Over Fifty Years -and One Sixty- Tbree Years '"ftl a^ry interesting letter received here recently by relatives from Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Covell of Portland, Ore., is related the details of a golden wedding anniversary held in the Congregational church in that city about the middle of December. The remarkable feature of the golden wedding celebration was that fiftytwo couples participated in the event, every one of them being married from fifty to sixty-three year%. There was one couple present married 63 years, one couple 61 years, and one couple 60 years and the remainder of the number ranged from 60 to 58 year?. Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Covell, who took part in the celebration and who are former residents of McHenry have been married 52 years. This unusually large number of golden anniversary celebrants speaks well for Portland in the promotion of health and longevity. The fifty-two coupler gathered in the dining-room of the church where lunch was enjoyed with a large cake decorated with fifty-two candles after which they marched into the church auditorium to the strains of Lohengren's Wedding March. They were preceded, by two flower girls and each guest was presented with roses. The church was beautifully decorated with yellow flowers, candles and wedding Roskie Leads Woodstock to 25-8 Vk tory Over McHenry In Fast Cage Tilt t"hose Woodstock Lions invaded McHenry last evening and completely swamped the locals and their impressive winning streak by sinking just too many of those short shots under the basket. The final scon; was just 25 to 8, progressing to that point from a niggardly 8 to 4 count at half time. v • The game was chock full of action, but even at that there wasn't the quality of basketball that the local fans are accustomed to. "Doc" Cigard of Aurora officiated and he more than had his hands full with the two fast teams that were on the floor. It was just too much for one man to handle and it is a regrettable fact that there weren't two men to handle the game. Roskie of WV>odstock was high point man for the winners with five baskets and two free throws. Kinsala sank the first tw» counters for the M. A. A. C's. while Fay took care of the last pair. This small scoring on both sides is easily accounted for by taking into account the remarkable guarding,, qualities exhibited on both sides.

ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE During the holiday season the Green street merchants went to considerable expense to decorate the street with streamers of colored electric globes Before it was time to take these lines down several dozen of the globes were stolen from their sockets and this means quite a loss to the nfcrchants. Just who is guilty of such a trick is not definitely known, but a strong suspicion rests in the minds of those having the decorating in charge.

Gibbs Out For Treasurer W!hen visiting the Sentinel office Monday Mr. Palmer was accompanied by Charles W. Gibbs of McHenry. Mr. Gibbs announced to the editor that he expects to be a candidate for county treasurer at the coming primaries and that he and Mr. Palmer will campaign together as representing the farmers. Mr. Gibbs has been active in the movement which resulted in Mr. Palmer's entry into the legislative raco. He has always been active as a farmer, but a few weeks ago sold out and is now moving to McHenry to reside.

BANDIES VISIT BROWN'S STORE AT RINGWOOD S. W. Brown, proprietor of the Ringwood drug store, was held up and robbed at the point of .ap gun New Year's eve, by a trio of$andits, one of whom was masked. The others apparently were unarmed. The three robbers entered the store at closing time, the proprietor beint; alone and about to check up the day's receipts and go home for the night. While the masked man pointed n revolver at Mr. Brown, the other two broke open the cash register and emptied it of its' contents, the day's receipts being about $65. The two with the money then ran and jumped into an automobile. The robber with the revolver backed out, keeping Mr. Brown covered. He then leaped to the running board of the car and all three disappeared. Sheriff Qyrus Sanford ajt Woodstock was notified but no chie to the bandita has been obtained^ • 4 J.
