When the company attempted to clear the check they discovered it was forged. Mills is a farmer living near Mundelein but knows nothing about the check.

Although State's Attorney Lumley was granted the request to have this large list of criminal cases nolle prossed and stricken with leave to reinstate there are still as many or more criminal cases listed on the docket. Whether the majority of these cases will be called for trial before December is not known although it is certain that a number of these criminal cases will not be tried because some of the. defendants are still at liberty while others are serving time on sentences from other charges. * Held For Robbery Joseph Monohan of Janesville was. held to the grand jury Wednesday on bonds of $1,500 on a charge of robbery. He is charged with taking a $350 diamond ring from the finger of Paul Litzell, Chicago attorney, while they were together in a booth in the "White House tavern, east of McHenry, ©ji Route 2 , on Sept, 20. , Justice W. S. Battern at Woodstock beard the story as told by A«.v>rney Litzell and a lady friend, who was with him, Stelle Steckley of Riverside. Litzell claims he and Miss Steckley were sitting in a booth in the White House when Monohan approached the booth and asked if he could sit down. He was told he could. Litzell said a few minutes later Monohan started feeling of his hand and pressing on his diamond ring. He aaid Monohan then got up and went to the wash room. Later he claims he came back and in some manner pulled the ring off his finger. Litzell claims Monohan's hands were uret and soapy when he returned from the wash room. . . Monohan then accompanied by four other young men left the tavern. Litzell said the other four were standing in a semi-circle around the booth when Menchan took the ring. .. • At the hearing Litzell said there Rubber Stamps at Plaindealer. Maine Opened Things $ i ' j j j l i x j i j ? : r Mr. and Mrs, J. M. Selleck, of Glendale, Calif., whci have been at the; Owen homestead in McHenry for the past six weeks, left last week for the:| east. They started by auto California "abopt three months ago, taking a northern route, partly in; Canada and visiting different National parks. From here they will go to New England and back by way of Washington and a southern route, stopping at the historical points. Mrs. Selleck is the niece of the late Mrs. E. M. Owen and in her girlhood days came here often as the guest of Amy Owen Chapell. In fact, she was. born at what w»s then Barreville, five ' miles south of McHlenry. Her grandfather, Charles Patterson settled there in 1841 and her father and uncle op* erated the mill and store for a num-l , ber of years. Her father, Frank D* ^ ' Patterson, was a captain in the Civil War and was well known in these parts up to the time of his death in 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Selleck were also for a few weeks two years ago. The said that this locality is a beautiful £ country and that they enjoyed the short auto trips out from here and . its nearness to Chicago. They have travelled widely and spent a considerable time abroad. They have been around the world four times and have lived in Berlin, Ger many in Dunban, South America, and: in Japan. Dunban, they say, has beautiful climate, much like that in; southern California, and the rugg country back of it, with its native inhabitants, makes it an interesting place to lhfe in. But about the most alluring country they seem to think is Japan, with^ its strange ways, its studied courtesy and charming home life. Mr. and Mrs. Selleck have with them, as a pet, a little marmoset, thel sSTcS £ - nc ASWATMN Two years ago they also had its mate, Ul AOOUUIH I IUll which has since died. They came from the tropical part of South America r.ad are rather rare in this couirfrjqfcs they do not often survive captivityln this climate long. The appetite of this one is about like that of a canary bird. They eat very little but that must be to their liking. They live largely on insects and fruit and are fond of sweets. They are accept at catching flies, bugs and grasshoppers. In their native state they live in trees and seldom get down to the ground, where they seem to be afraid. Illustrating the force of habit, this one has to cross the floor of one room to get to its warm bed, but no matter how well she isd acquainted with the home or how many times she has crossed, she surveys the room carefully before getting down and when she reaches the floor she stops and looks around for sometime before proceeding. It is quite marvelous how far these little animals can jump, several feet on a level. They travel around much like a squirrel. They seem to have gootj memoriei. This one used to.call for its mate after it was gone and as soon as she got here^and to the rooirf where they both were together two years ago she immediately began to call for him in her plaintive way.

Their visit was followed closely by that of another McHenry family, howr ever, when Mr. and Mrs. Frank Meyer and son, Donald, viewed the famous babies on Saturday of last week, spending Saturday night at Callender. These local people report the visit as most interesting, with the five little Dionne sisters even sweeter and more attractive than pictured in th« movies or magazines. The little girls, now over two years old, are exactly alike, with bla£k wavy hair and dark eyes, with the exception of Marie, who is slightly shoptgr than her sisters. They are fine, healthy youngsters and play together like any normal children, enjoying their toys, romping and falling down with their tumbles causing the customary childish wails. WTien Mr. and Mrs. Page visited them the day was pleasant and the children were in their play yard, which is so fenced off that visitors can watch them at their play but cannot be seen by them. The visitors stood quite close to the little girls whp were busy at play unaware of their many guests. On Saturday, however, when Mr. and Mrs. Meyer were there it was rainy and the children ^ere in their nursery where they were seen tfcwHigh the large nurserv windows.
