Upon his arrival at the scene of the accident Sheriff Edinger found the truck and its contents. A large crowd had gathered about the place, but the driver of the truck was missing. Sheriff Edinger learned from a farmer living near the scene of the crash that a man was seen running through a field shortly after the crash. Further investigation found that a farmer had been hired to take a man to Marengo. At Marengo Chief of Police Henry Nulle had been informed of the crash and he had picked up a man answering the description of the one given by the farmer.

Theive was quite a variety of dishes and they all tasted »as good, or better, than home cooking. ^LOWELL NYE, Reporter. That McHenry is not just the best place in the world to make whoopee was made evident Sunday night when Roy Hamline and Clifford Cotton .>f Lake Villa were arrested after more or less of a wild escapade about town. The two men first visited the Karls Cafe on Riverside Drive, where it be came evident that they were not en tirely responsible for their actions and after they were evicted from this place they were ordered to leave town by Marshal Jack Walsh and Mayor John R. Knox, who appeared on th« acene. After some argument the men started east across the river bridge, but they were followed by the two officers of the law, who saw them turn and recross the river, entering McHenry again by way of the other They gave chase to the unwelcome visitors, who led a merrv chase up Green street to St. Patrick's church, where they turned east on Washington street and speeded along the pavement, where they missed the turn on Riverside Drive, driving at breakneck speed into the icy waters of Fox River. Those who have had experience know that there is little chance of escaping from the Wnd of the law when it is wielded by Marshal Walsh and Mayor Knox and this instance was no exception to the rule. After considerable argument and controversy, much of which would not bear printing. Marshal Walsh decided to go after the men, who refused to come out of the river and surrender. Marshal Wades After Them Procuring a pair of hip boots "Ja6k" waded in after the culprits and hauled them onto the shore only resisting the desire to give them a good ducking in the knowledge that the city jail was a chilly place to spend the night even with a suit of dry clothes on. The two men, who had evidently i started out on a night of merrymaking, according to their idea of it, spent the night in the city hall and were brought before Police Magistrate George Bohr Monday morning, where they were fined and sent home with none too pleasant memories of their visit to McHenry. On Saturday Henry Hiller of Johns burg was fined by Magistrate Bohr for reckless driving. Warning! Reckless drivers are warned that the authorities of McHenry are on the lookout for just this sort of thing and if they do not care to get into trouble the safest plan will be to moderate the speed of cars while they are within the city limits, at least. LAKE GENEVA RESORTS DAMAGED BY BLAST ,, Three Lake Geneva summer resorts *ere badly wrecked Saturday night by the explosion of a dynamite bomb placed under the stairway of the Lincoln Inn, popular headquarters of vacationists, located on the east side pt the Lake, in the city of Lake ^Geneva.
