DOWNPOUR RESCUES According to several Lake county farmers, the rain came just i~ the nick of time and saved the crops. A banner corn erop is expected as a result of the long dry session fol-- lowed by last night's and the two morning's neavy rains. No _ crop damage was reported on the farms and-- although the downpour came with a strong wind, the force was wot great enough to break the grain stalks which had been hardened by the hot dry weather. In speaking of the work of the Jo-- Daviess County Nurse, the Stockton MHerald--News says: "In three and one--half months 1,767 children were ingpected for physical defects and 1546 were weighed and measure} in addition to the inspection. The sanitary conditions of each of the sihool buildings and premises were inspected and conditions noted." The report that the great fall of water would be wasted because it fell so fast that it would run off be-- fore soaking up the ground, was denied by farmers who stated that the extremely drv ground drank up the water and very little stood in puddles or ran off in brooks. Several town residents reportei branches being blown from their trees but no electric wire damage waus reported except in tre vicinity of Graysiake, where telephone ser-- vige was wrecked for several hours. Chicago weather bureau records show that June 1922, was the driest Jumne for 52 years as only .14 of ar fnch of rain fell during the entire month. The last rain of any volume was on May 28, Dies of Injuries CROPS OF COUNTY he Lake Countty Renister Waukegan Policeman Accused By Woman _ Resigns From Force she accuse eonduct in the charge patrolman ther than .

Drennan, auditor for Sang-- amon county, arrived in Waukegan this afternoon to inspect the bills submitted by Lake county for the f Judge Claire C. Edwards held a "clean--up" session of the cireuit court Monday morning and two obd cases were either setiied or set for hearing later in the month. Miss Lillie Redlinger of Vernon township was granted a new trial in her case against Jacob and Johp Hanks of the same township. The Redlingers and the Henks cwn adjoining property on the Des Plaines river in Vernon, and when after several years, the river, which separated the two pieces of property, changed its course through a meand-- er ,Miss Redlinger had a fence put up on the old line of the propert which cut off the Henks farm from the river. The Henks brothers, it is claimed, immediately tore down the fence and a free for all fight en-- sued in which the tools belonging to the Henks were thrown ints the river and Miss Redlinger sustained minor injuries and bruises. It later developed that her entire nervous system was disordered by the fight and while prior to the trouble she was able to do stren-- ueus work on the farm, since then she has been unable even to do her house work. She wued for $10,000 damages and the jury returned a verdict against her. The new triat granted today will be heard in the October term of court. The case of Fred Buck v--. Emma h. Gibler was set down for hearmg The case ol Fred Buck \ h. Gibler was set down fo1 cn July 28 when Mrs. Gible in Waukegan for the tria Buck claims that for ma he has rented the store in conducts a meat market Buck claims that for many years he has rented the store m which he conducts a meat market on Sher-- idan road, with the right to purchase the property at any time. A short time ago he attempted to purchase the property and found that J"eph O!tuski has secured an option on the property at a higher price than stip-- ulated in Buck's contract. Buck osks that the Oltuski option be set aside, and compel Mrs. Gibler, the owner, to fulfill her part of the con-- tract and sell to BZuck at 'the price trial of Len Smaill. * "As a whole," he said, "the bill is much less than I had expécted it to be. Less than $10,000 is a very reasonable figure for a Case requiring so much time and so much outside help. I think that too Many bailiffs were used, but otherwise I think Lake county conducted the trial in a very economical way." _ _Mr. Drennan stated that the cost of subsistence For the jury was much lefs than the cost in Sanga-- mon eounty. formerly agreed upon "WHEN SHE LEFT COUNTRY ViILAGE 3 y -- |" BUT ALAS -- ALACK -- WHEN S5HE AND HER 6OLDEN HAIR PS HRANGING,DOLN K" J CAME BACK *-- Jw J -- ) --}-- MIND YER _ es ~aopis a'% $ 2 0 PJ AN Q3S q.;;. y':'-;prf R é/?/ L. fay >-- 6AL -- AN' @*A~LlLad U % * .
