WONDER LAKE MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY OF RECKLESS DRIVING George Walklngton, 22 years old, milk hauler residing near. Wonder Lake, was exonerated last Saturday afternoon of a charge of reckless driving when Justice of the Peace Charles Hayes found him not guilty of the alleged offense.

Walklngton was charged with the foregoing offense oh complaint of John Hinderlider of Woodstock. driver of a school bus for rural consolidated school district 10. State's Attorney Don A. Wicks, in his argument, asserted that he knew that there had been a great amount of interest in the case and that handling of children "is a delicate subject and It doesn't take long to whip up sentiment. He related the fact that many out of the state cars are not familiar with the law that requires motor vehicles to stop from either direction, when a school bus has stopped to discharge 'passengers. He added, "People must realize that when they come on a school bus they should be extra cautious. Mr. Walklngton passed a school bus under conditions that I believe were reckless." Attorney V. J.

Arrangements were completed during thip past week with George McSwain, agent in charge of the Chicago FBI office. After many months of planning to revive the old McHenry county fair, at last a definite date has been set. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the McHenry County Fair Association in Woodstock last Friday, Feb. 4, the following dates were selected: Thursday. July 28, Friday, July 29. Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31 . Considerable discussion given to the choice of a suitable time for the fair, with some of the opinion that the latter part of Jply was too early. However, due to the fact that this is a new fair and is not established, it was necessary to select these dates in order to obtain the essential amusements and displays which make up a county fair. There is still considerable work to be done with planning. The help of everyone in the county is required to make it a real success. The board of directors is confident that they are heading in the right direction and are working to tl»e best of their knowledge for the which the journalism class Is j interests of McHenry county, sponsoring later this month to help Farther details concerning the fair will appear from time to time.

Something almost as unbelievable happened in McHenry last Saturday night. . - John Fleming thought he needed glasses about 9:30 when he reached the intersection of Main street and Rt. 31 In West McHenry, driving north ^n his car, and saw a horse galloping down the road toward him. John brought his car to a stop, rubbed his eyes and found the horse was still there, only closer. He sat still, trying to determine some reason for the mirage, when he was rudely jolted into reality. The horse had run headlong into the front of his motionless car, dented the hood and grill and smashed the windshield. Passersby recovered from their surprise and tried to calm the frightened animal. Investigation revealed that the i horse's owner was Frank Henkel, w a s | who resides on the Crystal Lake road south of McHenry. He had tied his horse across from the Colony theatre while he attended the movie. The saddle broke and the frightened horse set out down the highway and was approaching the R. I. Overton Motor Sales when it began attracting attention. Fortunately, the horse suffered only a cut on the mouth. When the accident was first reported to Police Officer Philip Hastings of Wonder Lake, he thought the sixteen hour day which he has been putting in of late was beginning to take its toll. Adding the role of policeman to his regular work at the McHenry Mfg. Co. last week was enough to convince him that the whole thing was just a figment of the imagination. We'll bet Officer Hastings took a look at the Fleming car Sunday morning. Just to be sure. t k » < mmrnfth PETER SMITHS OBSERVED GOLDEN WEDDING ON TUESDAY, FEB. 8 150 Relatives and Friendt I'm/ Attended Evening Dinner Followed by Open House Lifelong residents of this vicinity, iters other diversions and SpeaAi Mr. and Mrs. Peter Smith of Johns- 'much of her leisure time plajPtaflfc burg saw the fulfillment of many cards with her many friends. weeks of planning come true last Tuesday, Feb. 8, when they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
