Jagiello was apprehended just outside the city limits of Woodstock on route 14 where he was asleep in the Clyde Beam filling station on a cot with Jack Beam. Three Chicago detectives. Edward Mangan, Joseph Prmicki and John Nykaia„ together with three other officer? and Sheriff Lester Edinger were in on the "kill." The prisoner was taken to Chicago. Jagiello, it is claimed, was brought to Woodstock Sunday night by a halfbrother of the Beam boys, Fred Hemminger of Chicago. Neither of the Beam brothers, Sheriff Edinger said yesterday, knew Jagiello. It is said the half-brother asked, that Jagiello be given a place to eat and sleep for a few days. .. The slaying of the two young Chicago men took place eariy Sunday morning. Victims of the slaying were dumped from an automobile at Throop and Thomas streets on the north side of Chicago. A witness told Chicago police that a man and a woman got out of the car, looked at one of the bodies, returned to the car, and drove away.

In contrast we refer McHenry county taxpayers to the semi-yearly report of the offices of County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, Circuit Clerk Will T. Conn, Sheriff Lester Edinger and Treasurer C. Frank Daly, approved by the county board la session here today. This report shows a net earning, over and above all expenses, of $19,- 982.63 by these four offices. This is rather interesting in comparison with a semi-annual report o^ Stephenson county, which discloses that Stephenson county offices are NOT EVEN SELF SUPPORTING and pay considerable salary and office expenses out of the general fund of the county. McHenry county is one of the few counties in the state which shows a healthy net earning from its various major county offices each year. This is due mostly to strict economy in the offices and efficient management. Stephenson county in census comparison is about 3,000 larger than McHenry county In population. The report of the taxpayers group is very misleading.

An inquest was held at two o'clock last Friday afternoon, July 4, over the body of Nicholas Calici, 19 years old, of 5242 Congress street, Chicago, who lost his life in Griswold lake, south of McHenry, that morning. The jury of Coroner Harry L. Ehorn of Rich* mond returned a verdict of accidental drowning. The deceased, together with Leo Page and Barto Cantelisch, also of Chicago, had gone out to the lake to camp the previous evening. Friday morning the three boys went out in the lake to swim, Page giving up after an hour's outing. The two remaining continued to play with a boat which gradually became filled with water and sank. Calici is believed to have been seised with cramps i and sank from sight before help could reach him. The body Was' recovered shortly afterwards but efforts to revive the youth proved futile. Two Die in Long Lake On Sunday a party of six Chicagoans sank in six feet of water two hundred feet off the north shore of Long Lake when the small boat in which they were riding foundered from sheer weight of the occupants and two of the party were drowned. Rescue squads from Round Lake, Fox Lake and Antioch saved the other four. The dead are Harry Alexander, 42, of 2136 North Winchester avenue, and Dolores Zichmiller, 10, of 1756 West Eighteenth place. Rescued were Virginia Zichmiller, sister of the dead girl; Vincent Terek, 40. of 1831 North Marshfield avenue, and William Sprsndel, 14, and his sister, Beverly Spran* del, 10, both of 21S6 Winchester avenue. Deputy Coroner M. D. Penney said that the ill-fated craft had overturned as a result of wsves created by speedboats. The motor bn the overturned boat had stalled just before the tragedy. Disregarding warnings that th« small craft, a rowboat with an outboard motor, was overloaded, Alexander turned the boat into the lake and to his death. When they left, it is said, the oarlocks were less than three inches above the water. After the boat foundered and sank, all but Dolores Zichmiller were quickly located. Fifteen minutes or more elapsed before she was found enmeshed in weeds on the bed of the lake. All of the victims quickly respondedto the inhalators with the exception of the elder Zichmiller girl. It is believed that she was dead before she was taken from the water. Alexander was revived after ten minutes of resuscitation methods by the Round Lake squad and was believed to be out of danger. This squad then turned its efforts to saving the life of William Sprandel. Alexander, a few moments later, suffered a relipse and although the rescuers worked over him an hour and a half they could not revive him. It is believed that the reaction of the tragedy and his knowledge that the Zichmiller girl was dead had affected his heart. Cicero Man Rescued Joseph Sprhaiski, 22, of 3126 South Fifty-third court. Cicero, was saved from drowning at Bangs lake, near Wauconda, after he fell out of a boat. The rescuer was Joseph Waski, 21, of 3240 South Fifty-third court, also of Cicero.

Before local selective service boards can undertake the integration process, a few national draft lottery must be held in Washington. Officials indicated that it wouid be ordered for late this month. In the lottery the new registrants in each draft board area will learn their relationship to each other by having "sequence numbers" drawn. Once the national numbers are drawn, local boards will compare them with their local numbers to determine local sequences. Thus one of the new registrants will be assigned the number "S 1." Another will have the number "S 2," and so forth. The integration procedure may thea be instituted. It will work out as follows: Bach draft aitea now haa a reservoir of potential trainees Vtween the ages of twenty-one through twenty-seven who were signed up last October 16. This reservoir is composed of men who have not already been drafted, rejected or deferred because of age or other reasons. The new registrants will be mixed in proportionately with these old ones. (Selective service headquarters, anticipating enactiuaBt of legislation to that effect, directid aseentty that local boards defer calUng men twenty-eight years of age or elder.) For instarce, assume that there are 400 of these old ^registrants and ten new ones in a giteviWrd area. One new registrant then would be placed after each group^if ten old ones. The new registrant holding "S 1" would be placed after the first 10; the man hold "S 2," after the second ten, ete.

OOUNTF FAIFS KEPORT NET EARNINGS ABOVE STATE AVEBAGE IN '40 Net earnings on thirty-five accounting farms in McHenry county increased considerably above the state average, which was five per cent higher in 1940 over the previous year. Part of this increase in net income was caused by unusually high yields of corn, oats and barley. The report, which is designed to help farmers find the strong and weak places in their business and to help them make their family more profitable, showed wide variations in earn- In the midst of a busy session of the city council Monday evening, all present responded to the ral! of Mayor Overton to stand in silent respect for the memory of the late Peter J. Doherty, who served many years as alderman and mayor of McHenry. The annual appropriation ordinance was passed, making provision for construction Aider the streets and alleys section of $15,000. This was explained by the council as a protective measure in case of the necessity of replacing the old Green street bridge ami widening the street at that point. It was explained that this appropriation was not to be misunderstood or confused with the tax levy ordinance since the amount of levy for such purposes will not approach the appropriation. Engineer Kasser was present to report on the condition of the present bridge and secure instructions for planning the needed improvement. While the council cannot proceed with an expenditure of this sixe without careful provision for financing the project, it is hoped that a substantial amount can be paid through the use of motor fuel tax funds. Auditor's Report Auditor J. W. North delivered «trf audit reports for the past fiscal year and reviewed his findings with tile council. A favorable report was received on the condition of records as kept by the city treasurer, collector and clerk. Special assessments and delinquent items on sewer service payments drew careful scrutiny by the auditor. In the case of the special assessments, it was urged that every effort be made to clear as many numbers as possible during this fiscal year. It was pointed out that this can be done to the entire satisfaction of the bondholders if the property owners will co-operate. In directing the attention of the council to delinquent sew^r service charges, it was pointed out that in a recent case test as to legality of discontinuing the service the courts upheld the action of the municipality. While the council members expressed themselves as hopeful that these accounts can be cleared very soon without legal action, it seemed apparent that disregard to notices of payments due will not be tolerated. Property Owners Complain Acting upon complaints of property, owners, the city will take action to prevent further disturbances at the public beach.

The report provides flexible standards which permit each account keepei to compare all the parts of h;s business with averages established by his neighbors who are operating farms similar to his in size, quality of land, source of income and amount of livestock. * In addition to finding records valuable for studying their businesses and for making adjustments in accordance with emergency defense, McHenry county farmers have found that the records are useful in making out income tax reports, in settling estates and making rental adjustments. Early reports on performances of McHenry county farmers who are cooperating in the 1941 federal farm program indicate that payments totaling approximately $550,000 will be earned this year, Chairman Bert Bridges of the county agricultural conservation association reported. To date 930 out of the 2,260 farms participating in the program have been checked by township farm reporters and the percentage of full compliance with the AAA amounts to about ninety per cent, Bridges said. Reports on the remaining 1*330 farms are expected to be completed by the epd of July, and the first payments will probably start coming through about that time. Checks to be released to farmers represent soil conservation and corn and wheat parity price payments. The county's acreage allotment under the current program is 139.503 acres of corn, wheat, oats, barley and other grains. Corn aereage granted the county is 77,521. .I. J. F.
