ROBBERS GET $15 FROM DRUNKEN MAN A mysterious holdup. of an un known man was perpetrated in Dug-- dale road Saturday night following a drinking party over the line in North Chicago.

Brockway Turns Over Post He Held 24 Years to L. J. Wilmot. When Lewis 'O. Brockway went to work Monday morning he will feel only half as important, but what's more interesting is that he was relieved of half the responsibilities that he has been carrying for 24 years. Mr. Brockway, veteran and vener-- able clerk of the circuit court and county recorder of deeds, turned over the "court" side of the office to L. J. Wilmot, on last Monday, as the two offices have been'automati-- cally divided according to law, Lake County having reached a population recuiring it. + _ ' For 24 years Mr. Brockway has' held both positions as Circuit clerk and recorder, and outside of one or two occasions he never had to do much campaigning to obtain re--elec-- tion. When he did have a race he always ran so fast that in later years the politictans just left the field all to himsef" He actually has been a county official for 32 years. During the eight years prior to his election as clerk of the circuit court and re-- corder of deeds he was deputy coun-- ty clerk. Many of the old timers will recall that-- Mr. Brockway used to wear & full beard. It caused him more or less discomfiture. Once when he was stumping Libertyville and had just put away his horse and buggy and was walking to the hotel he met a man who shook hands and greeted him most profusely. In fact Mr. Brockway almost missed his supper on account of this man, whom he did not know, but disliked to admit that he U@idn't. because hbe needed votes. After talking for quite a while, the man said: "Do you remember what a fine time we had last Sunday eve-- ning?" s y ~AD * * » "I guess you are mistaken," Mr. Brockway said. ."I wasn't out with you anywhere Sunday." _ % f _--_"What are you up to. Dennis, you can't fool me like that." e Then it dawned on Mr. Brockway that the man had mistaken him for Dennis Gibbons, of Deerfleld, who was running for the legislature then. Gibbons died several yvears ago. . Unforbunately, Mr. Brockway had his picture taken when he was con-- cealed behind . the "beavers" and when he becomes too chesty around home Mrs. Brockway gets out that picture and places it on the manteél. After that Mr. Brockway is meek and lowly for a fortnight. * L. J. Wilmot, deputy clerk of the cireuit court, took over the court side of the work on last Monday. having been elected to that post at the general election Nov. 4. Mr. Wil mot is Brockway's son--in--law, and has been handling' this work for many years. He is thoroughly famil-- jar. with it. He is efficient, capable and accommodating. There is an air of mystery about the fact that Mr. Wilmot had no op-- position at the recent election. Some say his past record in the office has been so perfect that nobody dared to oppose him. Others say. that Mr. Brockway is up to his old "tricks" in polities and managed to keep the job in the family. But _everyp?dy'mmt $ to be perfectly satisfied with the way it came out. Mr. Brockway and Mr. Wilmot both ran ahead of the presi-- dent on the republican ticket. 2 ESCAPE DEATH IN AUTO AS IT _ BUMPS FREIGHT Machine Skids and Rear End Piles Into St Paul Train; Occupants Hit Ditch.
