VOLUME XXXIL--NUMBER 47. LIBERTYVILLE THE . CENTER OF MANY _ ACTIVITIES SOON North Shore Line Expected to Tap Territory With Exten-- sion in Near Future. Libertyville, Lake.Biluff and the ter-- ritory between them along the Liberty-- ville branch of the Chicago,; North Bhore & Milwaukee electric line are undergoing some interesting develop-- ments, with the stage apparently set for still bigger things to come. Samuel Insull, the Insull cororations and indi{viduals generally considered close to him have been extremely act-- Ive in this sector during the last year, and this activity is regarded as alg-- nificant throughout the territory-- af--} fected. . It is considered probable that con-- struction of the North. Shore line northward from Niles Center to the junction with the Libertyvilie branch | west of Lake Bluff may be undefuken' sooner than the announced plans of | the road would indicate, possibly by ; next spring after the extension lrom; Evanston to Niles is completed. | Speculation Rife. In 4bertyville the purchases of the Insull interests have aroused consider-- able speculation and the report has / long heen current that the Noflh" Shore line contemplated an extension northward from Area, the mt' terminus of the Libertyville branch, to tap the lake region of northern HlH-- nois and southern Wisconsin. The line now operates motor busses between Chicago and Lake Geneva. While of--| ficials of the road are non-eommlttal' on.?he subject of extensions, the extent and location of their realty transac-- tions tend to lend color to the reports and would seem to indicate prepara-- tions to handle a much greater volume of business at Libertyville in the fu-- ture. The possibility, of early construction | of the new North Shore line, the im--| pending development of a highly re | stricted de Tluxe subdivision at Crab Tree Farm, the beautiful estate of the | Scott Durands, adoption by Lake muflx of a comprehensive village plan, and the construction of the new Knoll wood Country club with its exclusive mem-- bership combine to make the territory west.of Lake Bluff along the Liberty-- ville road particularly attractive to in-- ] vestors Two large= new subdivisions have just been put on the market in this re-- gion and land for a third has been ac-- quired. To the north of the Liberty-- ville branch and west of the right of way for the proposed extension, the Fidelity Realty company, in which Napoleon Picard, buillder of the In-- surance Exchange, is interested, has acquired a large tract which it is sub dividing as "Rockland Manor." Just east, adjoining the probable site of the station at the junction of the Libertyville branch and the exten-- #ion, S. Q. Goldman, head of the realty fAirm bearing his name, has purchased 100 acres which he will subdivide next spring. This tract fronts for hallf a mile on Green Bay road and a mile on the Libertyville road, and is bounded on the west by Mr. Picard's subdivi-- sion. On the opposite side of Green Bay road M. F. Schavpine of the Lake Towns Development company is open-- ing a subdivision of forty acress _ _ VEE® eE mnmi CCCE s CCE These latter tracts are just south ¥# in' sommvuins tham. -- 1 the Philip Armour estate and within in :;emovin_g rthem.'

MAN STRANGLED TO DEATH BY A BARBWIRE NOOSE Dead Body of Man, Hanging to Tree, Found in Electric Park by Small Boy. The lifeless body of a man, be-- lieved to be Victor HHI, 47, a coal miner from Eldorado, HJ., was found hanging to a tree near Electric Park, Waukegan, Tuesday. The discovery was made by Arnold Drinkwine, 11| year old son of Joseph Drinkwine | of Gretta avemue. The victim was i suspended by a piece of barbwire from a small tree. While the wire had Cut deeply into the man's neck, |' his knees were resting on the ground The fact that he could have stood up and relieved the pressure and thereby prevented strangulation is\ what causes the authorities to see the possibility of foul play. On the other hand the victim had $5.85 in his pocket book. He appeared to be a rugged working man and there appeared to be little reason for any-- one to murder him, especially if robbery was a motive. _ The police are convinced that the man is a victim of suicide. They are convinced that he wandered to the lonely spot where his body was found. With his bare hands he evider?&y broke off a section of the barbwire fence that surrounds the: old Electric park. Selecting a tree about three inches in diameter he apparently reached up about six feet from the ground and fastened one end of the wire securely. He then dropped to his knees and strangled to death. His coat and hat were found lying on the ground a few feet from his i body. ! Just how long the body had been' hanging could not be determined but it was in a good state of preserva: tion -- A card found in his pocket indicated that he had visited Dr. 'n. Robinson Duff, 1118% West 35th | street, -- Chicago. Dr. Duff <is sur-- 'i geon for the Central Manufacturing lDistrlct. The other side of the eard indicated that Hill, if that is --\'his name, had been sent to the Cook County hospital. In another pocket was found a transfer from the Chicago surface | lines. It was stamped Nov. 13 at "\| for this improvement, according to Charles E. Russell, county superin-- tendent of highways, and condemna: ip tion proceedings are to be started im-- p-- mediately against a number of prop-- m | orty owners, tha superintendent said. ot| The county also has just completed aj | construction of a 24--ft. span bridge ridp BHquaw creok in Fremont town-- re p.

'Identification appeared to be es-- tablished by a transfer card found in the vjetim's pocket. It was from the United Mines Workers and gave his name as Hill, his age as 47. his height as 5 feet 10 inches and his weight as 188 pounds.
