Howell, ticket agent at "Richmond, for the Chicago A North Wee tern railroad for the parft 50 Vears, retired last Monday on a r, pension having reached the retirement age of 70. Beginning his work at the local depot at the age of 16, Howell was first assistant to Agent Jerry Robinson and at the age of 19, when Robinson retired, he got the job. Continuously for half a aentury, he has sold tickets, handled express and freight and been the telegraph operator. Cottages around Diamond Lake continue to be looted, according to reports made to Sheriff Lester Tiffany by his brother Clayton Tiffany, chief of police of Mundelein. According to the latter, raids on cottages in the community started as early as last whiter when thieves entered the places by smashing the windows. At first it was thought likely that tramps from the nearby railroad were gnilty of the robberies, but that has bean proven improbable by the way the bandits know just when the cottages are unoccupied. The loot in most cases consisted of canned goods, clothing, bed linens and fishing tackle. A would-be holdup man got a surprise one night last week at the Shfcll filling station, corner Lake Shore Drive and Virginia street in Crystal Lake when he suddenly put in lis appearance to relieve Jack Hosmer, manager of the station, of the day's receipts. Hosmer said that the nan ordered him into the station, flourishing a gun. But Hosmer did not like the idea .)f turning over the ca£h and in an instant struck the bandit. The intruder lowered his gun and • seemed much surprised that he should encounter resistance. Then he sudden. !'

TTie fire, thought to have started an explosion of the kitchen stove, itad gained considerable headway when first discovered by passing motorists. Both women members of the liousehold were in the barn at the . time, taking care of the cattle, and vttn opening an outer door for ventilation they noticed cars parked along the highway and thinking an accident had happened, they came out • 1w;give their assistance only to gaze ujig^their home with flames and qpHse pouring out of the doors and -windows. The men folks were in the field and unaware of the disaster until ' they saw the leaping flames and -billows of smoke arising from the . building. The farm was purchased a year ago by Paul Holubowicz and . "Victor Zielinskie of Chicago. The loss • i§ partly covered by insurance. Farmers near Grayslake are great- Unless adequate funds become available very soon the Salvation Army may find itself in a position of having to discontinue its customary service to social welfare problems referred to it from the various cities and towns of McHenry jaunty, according to information learned from Commissioner W. A. Mclfttyre, Territorial Commander of the Central States Territory. "Practically every year since the institutions and social welfare d«- p«rtxaents of the Salvation Army, which are located in Chicago, have been receiving social service cases for adjustment from the various counties of the state outside of Cook county there has Been a large deficit incurved beeausa of the growing extent niseetfof t)ds service," stated Commissioner Mclntyre at a recent meeting of Army officials- "During the past year," continued the Commissioner, "the case load has been tremendous and every institution and department has been working to capacity with an unusual drain upon their resources both physically and financially. Thus far we have been able to meet every emergency but with funds getting low and indications that the calls which will be made upon us in the coming year will be even greater the Army is facing a serious crisis. Unless sufficient funds become available it will be necessary to curtail the state-wide service in order to keep within our -financial resources." If this should happen the service which would ^ affected most would be that supplied by the Woman's Home and Hospital, which provides care for unmarried mothers and their babies; the Women's Emergency Lodge, which furnishes temporary care for stranded women and children and others awaiting some pcrananent adjustment of their cases by other agencies; the Missing Friends Department, which helps to locate persons missing from their homes or former environments; the Prison Department, which makes visits on behalf of dependent friends and relatives to persons incarcerated in the jails and penitentiaries; the Fresh Air Camp which provides free vacations for destitute women and undernourished children located in the counties of northern Illinois; and the Men's Emergency Lodges whioh have housed hundreds of homeless and destitute men every county of Illinois. The deficit incurred by this service has been raised usually in the annual Home Service appeals conducted in all counties of the state, including Cook county and there has been a sufficient surplus to make up the difference between the required expenditures and what any one county might contribute but during the past year the demands have been so heavy from all counties that no surplus exists which makes it essential that every locality contribute its proportionate share of the expense involved if the work is to continue uninterrupted. I The established quota for McHenry] county is approximately 10 cents per | capita which would set McHenry's! share at about $125. This quota is being raised by the local appeal committee under the chairmanship of Robert Weber, and Floyd Foss, treasurer. Roy James Battis, educational director of the Salvation Army, has been in. constant communication with Mr. Weber and the committee and plans are being formulated for raising this quota to guard against any curtailment of the Army's service to McHenry county, especially when the need is so great. It is reported that $50 has been contributed up to the present time, representing less than sixty persons which leaves 1,295 of McHenry's population yet to be heard from, and it is hoped that everyane will do his or her part in helping to raise the quota for McHenry county. SPRING GROVE NAN IS FATALLY SHOT CHICAGO AN IS HELD FOR MURDER , I-' TOPNOTCHERS JHcfeelaa N. Weber, about 60 years olki, prominent resident and storekeeper at Spring Grove, was fatally Shot at the Arthur Dreesbach cottage at Lily Lake Saturday night as a climax to a home brew party. Stories as to how Weber entered the party differ slightly in detail. Arthur Dreesbach, 45 years eld, Chicago steaaafitter, was held in the McHenry. county jail cm a charge of manslaughter as a result, of the fatal shooting. His bond tea bees m4> & $25,000. Dreesbach's wife, Alice, and Mrs. Elva Sette, 43 years old, also of Chicago, were held as witnesses of the shooting, although no charge liad been placed against either woman'. Dr. C. W. Klontz from McHenry was summoned a few minutes before 1 O'clock Sunday morning, by a filling station attendant at Lily Lake, who saw Weber stagger tnto the rood and finally fall to the ground. When the doctor arrived Weber was identified and as he was bleeding profusely he was given emergency treatment and rushed to St. Theresa's hospital, Waukegan, where he died a few hours later. According to the story told by Rev. Father Weidecamp, pastor of St, PV. ter's church at Spring Grove, who accompanied Weber to Lily Lake and was present with him at the time , of the shooting, he and Weber had been checking over the receipts of the recent church festival held at Spring Grove and when they finished their work they decided to visit the Dreesbach cottage at Lily Lake as Dreesbach had been quite prominent in the work at the carnival. Father Weidecamp visited State's Attorney V. S. Lirmley Sunday and told him the details of the shooting. Rev. Weidecamp said that he and Weber arrived at the cottage just as Dreesbach and his wife were in the midst of a family quarrel. Shortly after they arrived Dreesbach threatened to kill his wife and Father Weidecamp and Weber tried to t^lk to Dreesbach and placate him, realizing Chat he had been drinking, but when they approached him Dreesbach pulled a gun from his pocket and started shooting. Father Weidecamp went into a side room and locked the door and it is evident that Weber started to leave by the front door anJ was the victim of a bullet aimed at Mrs. Dreesbach. In the meantime it is claimed that Mrs. Dreesbach and Mrs. Sette made their escape through a rear door of the cottage. While Father Weidecamp was in the side room Weber staggered from the cottage to a nearby filling station known as Betty's barbecue, where h<? fell to the ground and the attendant called the doctor from McHenrv- Weber was rushed to the hospital, where he died a few hours later after (he had made a statement to Sheriff Tiffany of Lake county. When Fr. Weidecamp emerged from his hiding place he found the cottage deserted and he left looking for Weber only to find that he had been taken to the hospital. Dies From Loss of Bleed It is claimed that Weber died from logs of blood and that he might have lived had he been able to secure medical aid sooner after the shooting. « During the absence of Sheriff Lester Edinger of McHenry county, who is away on a vacation, his deputy, Harold Reese, was notified and met Sheriff Tiffany at Lily Lake about 7 o'clock Sunday morning. They located the cottage and arrested Dreesbach, who was found standing beside his automobile in the front yard. When authorities questioned him in to the shooting he said he t>xfra4>rduuuu.

Although the inquest was held in Lake county, where Weber died, Interesting booklets are being distributed by Borden's Farm Products company of Chicago, showing instruc. tive views of their newest and most up-to-date of dairy plants at Hamilton Park. These booklets have an added interest for people of McHenry for a local boy, George Kamholz, bom land raised in McHenry, has advanced in his work for the Borden company until he is now foreman of this fine new Hamilton Park plant. George, as well as the Borden company, is justly proud of the beautiful new factory with Its ultra modern facilities for cleanliness and purity where visitors are always welcome, and he is to be congratulated upon his position of trust and responsibility. Just nineteen years ago, on the site of this newest and most up-to-date of dairy plants, was bunt Borden's first Chicago pasteurizing plant. It Was one of the city's pioneer pasteurizing plants, and, in its day, the last word in equipment and facilities. Then, as today, Borden's was in the vanguard of leadership, affirmed anew in the magnificent new plant, symbolizing all the highest ideals of the industry today. Interesting Booklet As one turns the psges of the interesting little book he takes a picture trip through Borden's new Hamilton Park pasteurizing plant, form* ing a very satisfactory idea of how milk is pasteurized, cooled and bottled and of the complete ai?d elaborate equipment required to give a regular and reliable supply of milk and dairy products each day, rain or shine, Sundays and holidays included.
