Boy Panknin, 82, the manhunt for "America's dangerous gunman," ruthless »--•• Henry Pierce, came to an Stepping into a trap laid by Pankita, one of his victims, the killer was •Un last week by sixteen slugs from a Chicago detective sergeant's submachine gtin. Panknin, a furnace salesman whose family Pierce had terrorised for several weeks, tipped off police of his intended meeting with Pierce at the "L" station in Westchester. As a result, Sgt Joseph McCabe cut down the killer and rob- |ar as he stepped outside the station. Bringing his wife and family to McHenry last week following the incident, Panknin revealed in the Ftaindealer office on Friday that it wbs the first time in weeks that any «f them could relax and forget the erased gunman. He then proceeded ts tell of his harrowing experience. Met Last Thanksgiving Panknin said he had become well acquainted with Pierce after the latter was brought to a Thanksgiving nail i last year in the Panknin home ia Chicago by a mutual friend. At that time it waa not known that Pierce was an ex-convict. Last New Year's Day, Pierce came to the Panknin home alone and asked «a stay there for a few days, even _ twisting* on paying his way.

We, didn't have too many trains, but felt grateful for one additional train in the morning and one in the evening. That seemed to take care of the greatest need and nobody expected the Chicago * NorthWestern Railroad to run additional trains after Lsfaor Day. Our summer residents had bid us1 adieu and returned to Chicago. But, that was another day. We must remember that this is the year 1947. Those summer residents and many more are now permanent residents of McHenry Township or want to be. . We seem to have everything but train service. That's the catch. Individual efforts failed. Then in 1M4 the McHenry Township Association, Inc., was formed. "Now, we are getting someplace," said many hopeful residents.

Buss, in the first and second wards respectively, will expire this year. In the third ward a vacancy now exists due to the resignation of Fred Ferwerda at the time he changed his residence to the state of Wisconsin. No special election was held at the time due to the fact that Mr. Ferwerda's term at office expires this spring. For the past ten years, the city elections have been held at two-year intervala, with elected officers holding office for terms at four years. Thus, the possibility of an entirely new board has been eliminated. The mavor. three alderman, city clerk and city treasurer were elected in 1945 for a four year term. March 11 Filing Deadline March 11 is the last day for filing certificates of nomination or nomination papers with the city clerk. Proper forms can be secured in the clerk's office at any time. In the case at absent voters, who are qualified to vote in the local election, March 17 is the first day the voter may file application for ballot. April 10 is the last day to apply by mail and April 12 is the last day to apply in person. Official notice ef the ejection appears elsewhere in this issue of tne Plaindealer. While April 15 seems far, far away, it must be remembered that the last day for filing is less than two weeks hence. It is expected that Alderman Tonyan and Buss will file for re-election.
