Tiarge of Sergt. George Slelickft, >wn as squad car No. 42, arrived in TcHenry Tuesday evening in search <of a man known as "Steve the Killer" ""who goes under three aliases, Allen .McDermott and Jordan. He has been "wanted in the city for some time on a charge of murdering a Chicago poiceman, named McGloon. The detectives soon got in touch •with Walter Brooks, a McHenry county deputy sheriff, who is also an ex- Chicago policeman, who resides on "Riverside Drive, McHenry. A search "was immediately started to get trace <of a green Cadillac car, which the "hunted man was knoWn to have been 'driving. A false lead took them to Griswold Lake,). where a report was to the effect that a big green car had been ifieen several times in that locality. 'A car of that description was found on the Steinsdoerfer farm and after a search of the premises it was discovered it was not the one belonging to Allen. Captured In Cottage The trail then led to Lily Lake, -where information gained at an oil station, furnished a clew, resulting in the locating of the cottage in which Steve was living. Gathering together "their machine guns, tear gas bombs, -etc., the officers cut through a field and found that the man they wanted , "was home and just eating his supper. "The door was crashed. Steve was captured without any resistance, being taken unawares and leaving him no time in which to put up a battle. With him in the house was found a local man and two women from Chicago. The detectives were soon on their way to the city with the "bad man", who had been in this vicinity for several months. His pictures are - reported to have been positively identified as the man who committed the crime in Chicago. When Sergt. Melican found Officer Brooks here Tuesday evening he dis-. covered that they were well acquainted, having worked together on the Chicago police force for years. "Steve" created quite a disturbance at a local resort a lew weeks ago, in which some of his favorite pun play was indulged in. The only thing that prevented a murder was the fact that ' his gun jammed when the trigger was pulled. An easier feelinp now prevails among local citizens with the knowledge that another gangland character will probably be placed behind the bars of the Cook county jail for some "time until his case is brought to trial. ROY MATHEWS HURT IN PARACHUTE JUMP Lieutenant Roy Mathews is recovering from injuries received! while making a parachute jump at Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday of last week, a* which time his ankle was sprained and he received scratches and cuts about the face and body. The jump was made at noon Wednesday at an American Legion convention, where about 20,000 spectators were present. Weather conditions were unfavorable with the nir full of dampness and a mist almost 1 like a rain and the lieutenant was ad- 1 vised not to make the jump, but "he decided to make the attempt. ----' Circling the convention grounds for about five minutes his plane then started its climb for altitude and the jump was made after 5,000 feet was reached as with Mathews drifting two and one-half miles over the city to the 1,200 foot lot at the convention grounds tQ make his landing. All went well until it commenced to rain when the chute and its passenger were about 1,000 feet from the ground, ami the downpour obstructed vision and the sight of the landing1 place was obscured, with the result that the chute caught in a tree while traveling at the rate of about 45 miles per hour. People rushed to the assistance of Mathews and he was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but was unable to return home the following day. The chute and equipment were furnished by Thompson Brothers at Aurora. Lieutenant Mathews has a full schedule for the summer months with a balloon ascension ana parachute jump to be made in McHenry in August at the time of St. Mary's carnival. He will also make a parachute jump at Antioch on June 18 and during the carnival all Crystal Lake over July 4 he will make a total of eight jumps, making two each day. He then plans to go to Curtis Reynolds field, where he will make jumps for the Century of Progress in Chicago.

Loyalty club are planning a big jubilee rally to be held in Stoffel's hall on next Wednesday evening, May 24, at 8 p. m., to which everyone who is interested in the welfare of the local Methodist church is invited.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry, Wright wore surprised by some noted visitors on Sunday, who were none other than the sixteen members of the • Merry- Go-Round crew from the WLS radio station, who were playing at the Miller theatre, Woodstock, Sunday. They motored over from Woodstock between shows, spent a few hours with their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Wright, and then took them, with some of their neighbors, back to Woodstock for the next show. While here the WLS players went fishing and caught two big fish, which they took with them to Woodstock and exhibited on the stage during their next act. Early the next morning McHenry obtained some advertising "over the radio through the Merry-Go-Round crew, who told Hal O'Halleran about their visit and the two big fish they had caught. Hal would not believe their story and said that although Mr. and Mrs. Wright had some big fish out at McHenry he didn't believe they had anything as big as they told . 1 ! ""jH COTTAGE BtJRNS A# McCOLLUM'S LAKE The Frank Kane Cottage in the Mc- Collum Lake estates subdivision was destroyed by fire about 3 o'clock Friday morning. The loss, including the contents of the cottage, is estimated at about $1,000. The McHenry fire department responded to the call, but the flames were beyond control-'when they reached the place. The cause of the fire is not known as it had been vacant all winter. On Monday evening, May 15, a gallery of fifty or more spectators and those interested in the passing of the ordinance regulating the sale of malt and vinous beverages, was on hand at the sound of the mayor's new gavel at a special meeting of the city council. The clerk read the ordinance as prepared by the city attorney on the order of the city board at the stated meeting held May 1. Mavor Doherty announced that he would give all of the board five minutes each without interruptions for a frank and earnest, whole-hearted discussion and for them to state their views. But, before going into the discussion a man representing a firm dealing with fire insurance classifications and operated by fire prevention engineers was given a hearing ^andx his proposition tabled until the* next stated meeting. What he wished to do and thinks can be accomplished is a material reduction in fire insurance rates by at least one classification and if on his firm's recommendations the city would not receive notice from the Illinois Inspection bureau of a lower rating there would be no charge. In case the classification was lowered the fee would not be much over $100. |n some localities the business men meet one-half of the charge and the city the other half. In case of benefits the property owner would pay lower fire insurance premiums. Mayor Doherty standing, stated that the object of the meeting was to thoroughly discuss and pass the above mentioned ordinance as drawn up at the last meeting, that he had tried to do his best for the taxpayers and members of the board and that he was now ready to listen to a five-minute, no-interruption discussion from each member of the board. „ Starting on his right he called on Alderman Schaefer, who said that $200 was too strong in comparison with other similar towns and that a large license would lead to bootlegging- That the government had tired a three-cent postage with a loss of revenue. That some states had raided their gasoline tax from three to four cents a gallon, resulting in a bootlegging of gas and lower state returns. That in his opinion $150 and $50 and $25 licenses were plenty for the city of McHenry and furthermore that enough more licenses would be taken out at the lower figure to bring the same returns as a larger fee and fewer licenses. The mayor then called on Aid. Barbian, who alu* represents the third ward. He sMi he had interviewed many in his Ward and most of the people felt that $200 was too high, although two approved of the higher license. Two others might apply but felt $200 too high. Others wanted licenses for bottled beer only at lower figure. He felt that the wholesale license fee was too high; We certainly wanted to do what would please the most. He could not suggest the fee for bottled beer 1 of the parties had told him what they considered an adequate fee. Costs 57 Cents Per Day Mayor Doherty said that he could not see wherein a $206 license seems to be too high for selling 365 days without any closing hours on Sunday or holidays. As he saw, it, it was only 57 cents a day and 15 cents a day for the wholesalers. He called on Alderman Wattles ) WJEAR HIS FLOWER / 'His fixed bayonet was pointed toward the enemy. His steel helmet was tilted down over determined eyes. An unseen machine gun sprayed his path with death, but he went forward for America. . In a poppy studded wheat field he fell. They buried hun after the wave of battle had swept by and poppies sprang up around /'his grave. His victorious comrades, returning to America, brought memories and the poppy. - On Saturday, May 21, the men of the American Legion will ask us to wear a poppy. The women o" the American Legion Auxiliary will offer us « poppies on the streets and will give us an opportunity to aid the war disabled, the widows and the fatherless children. Can there be a person in McHenry in whom the pulse of patriotism beats so low that he will refuse? ;l He who can so soon«forget the patriotic sacrifices of the past is a person from whom friends, Community and country can expect little of unselfish service today or in the future.

He then called on Alderman Overton, who said that at the last meeting he voted for the ordinance as it was drawn up, but since that time he had reconsidered the proposition and that he was of the opinion that $150 and $25 would be about right, in fact, he thought there should be two license fees for the retailers, but that would undoubtedly lead into complications, that he did not think there would be more than 57 cents profit on a and that no restaurant would .sell an average of more than a case a day. "I am for $150 and $25 fees" said he. Mayor Doherty said: "we are not here to criticise and that I expect everyone to state their own views." He then called on Aid.
