45,000 VOTERS REGISTER HERE HENDEE STATES Forty--five thousand elegible vot-- ers are registered on the poll books of Lake county. -- Tremendous Registration Will Mean -- New -- Precincts For the County at the Iune meeting. The intention of the law, according to the clerk, is to keep the precincts as near a 500 voup§ strength as possible. Up until yesterday it had been believed that not more than 30,000 ballots would be cast. VOLUME XXXVI--NUMBER 44. On the basis of a 45.000 registra-- tion it is believed that the total vote will fun close to 38.250 as about 15% of the registered voters fail to cast a balot 'as a rule. The heads of the ticket, Herbert Hapver and Gov. Alfred E. Smith. are responsible for the heavy regis-- tration for the most part, politicians believe. Gov. Smith has been able to en-- thuse a larger following in Lake county than any Democratic presi: dential candidate in the past. The fact that William J Stratton, of Ingleside, is a candidate for sec-- retary of state. has, also helpid to swell the total, it is believed. SYome idea of the registration can ha eainoft from the following county Some tdea o be gained fron precinets: Libertyville 1 Liberty vilte 2 Libertyville 3 Antioch 1 .. Antioch 2 ...

R YOUTH THOUGHT DEAD BY MOTHER FOUND IN WEST After many days of anguish on the part of Mrs. Lulu Apply. mother of the boy, Harold Appley, 14 years old. of Libertyvyille, who had been given up as dead, hsa been located on a up as dead, Nnsa UVCCli iDLGLCU [001 If farm near Red Cloud,.Neb., where he is employed as a farm hand. For days while friends and rela: tivees carried on a search the moth-- er of the boy mourned him as dead. She was o fthe belief that the boy would not remain away from home if he were alive. The youth left home early in Sep-- tember. He had just returned from a visit with relatives at Napanee, Neb., and had expressed a desire to remain in that sedtion of the coun-- try. Knowing his fascination for that part of the west the search for him was directed to that part of the county without avail. * The Rev, E. P. Baker arrived in Libertyy'lle Wednesday to assume his work as pastor of St. Lawrence's Episcopa) church, which has been without a pastor since October first, when the Rev. H. B. Gwyn resigned, to become pastor of a Church in Rhode Island. People in Libertyville are glad to welcome, Mr. Baker to our village, and wish him success in his new field of work. The following is taken from the Boulder (Wyom-- ing) Budget: s s, Several weeks ago the mother was informed that the youth was ' em-- ployed in a Missouri town and she hastened there. A few hours after she had boarded a train for Missouri word came to Libertyville that the youth held there was not her son. Harold Appley Located on Farm Near Red Cloud, Neb., Monday Location of the youth in Nebraska was affected by Dr. J. L. Taylor, county coroner, who sent postcards to coroners in Several western states asking their co--operation in the search. Relatiyes at Napanee ih-- vestigated the report of a sheriff that he had located the boy and also arranged for the youth to wire his mother. The mother has arranged for removal of the boy to the home of bis relatives in that state. "Fr. Baker came to Douglas from a'successful pastorate at Kimmuer. puring his residence here he has proven himself a C€hristian gentle-- man, meriting the respect and es teem in which be is held. His going is a matter of deep regret, not oauly to the members of h's church, but to New Pastor Comes to St. Lawrence's Church -- "Rev. E.

THREE SENFENCED TO DIE DEC. 15; _ 2 GET PRISON Claud Clark, Chicago negro, Mon-- day was sentenced to die in the elec-- tric chair for the murder of Williaim Beck, Millburn farmer, by Circuit Judge C.

Dom inick, Bresette, 33, Chippewa Indian chief from LaPointe, Wis., reserva tion, and John Brown, 32, Chicago Negro, who'were found guilty and ordered to die on the chair by a jury last week, also appeared in court with Judge Edwards setting the date for the electrocution o% Dec. 15. Clark to Be Electrocuted Along With Brown and Bresette in Murder Harold Martin, 20, and Artbhur Boone, 21, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, were given from ome to 14 years in the Pontiac reforma® tory. They furnished the car for the trio sentenced to die. MotRBns for new trials,. made by Attorneys George W; Field and Har-- r¥y Hall in behalf of Bresette and Brown, were denied. Bresette pre-- sented the argument thatthe was en titled to leniency because he gave himseM{ up to the police and com tessed the crime. ; Brown stuck to the story he told under oath that he was not at the place. He claimed that the jury was prejudiced and that the Indias turned against him for revenge. Clark is Nervous Clark was the fifth one to face thb court. "I'm sorry to my heart that I ever killed that man," Clark said as a strained look appeared on his face and his fingers twisted inside of the cap that he had placed on the bar. "I didn't try to kill him. There was a big dog just back of me and I aimed to shoot the lock out," be stated. The ceremony was read by Rev. Charles J. Mertens, at St. Mary's church, Buffgo Grove, beautifully !decorated for the occasion, at nire [ o'clock in the morning. _ l The bridal gown was of satin crepe | with a basque bodice, full skirt witk j ruifles of gold lace, with a full length { veil, which hung from, a close fitting "It is the judgment of the court," Judge Edwards read from the stat-- ute, "that in 15 days you be taken to the state penitentiary at Joliet and there suffer death by electrocution, by the passing through your body of a suffftcient current of eleftricity to cause déath. Clark swung away from the bar before the court finished the reading and found his chair. Brown Still Glib. Brown, the smooth talker, who deputies often refer to as a smoothk liar, had been before the court just before Clatk heard the death sem Ashe stood there telling how it @nH happlnwL i. which he again denied, that he had been there, the Indiar looked over to Bailif Ed ward Dnnn§ winked slowly and then smiled. pleased him mightily to hear Brownr get the sentence. The two are bitter enemies. tence Bresette had heard the pronounce ment without sbowing the least furry. / | Brown turned away dejected whern the court finished with him. Appeal Uncertain. -- Thirty days were allowed to get a stay for the defendants so that the case could go to the supreme court An appeal is unlikely as they all lack funds. _.© The Indian, from all appearances, faces death with fewer qualms thar Brown and Clark. "I think your story is a frame« story. If 1 didn't think so T'd give you a new'trial," he said. Sheriff Lawrence Doolittle wants to have the prisoners removed as soon as possible. He is maintaining a bheavy ruard to keep thim from breaking jail or committing suicide. From the provision made by the court he believes he can move them this week. ° Electrocutions are held at Joliet. : Isabell Ann Wei:iner | Bride\of Leo Blocks Tuesday.
