OVERTON MAKING GOOD ON ILLINl " TEAMS -Dick" Breaking Into Basketball at the Illinois University at Urbana - One of last year's graduates from the McHenry Community high school, now a student at Illinois university, bids fair to make a record as a basketball player on the Illini team before he finishes his course, being Richard Overton, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. I. Overton, of McHenry. A cut has been made on the Fresh" mail class from about 450 to 90 and Dick is still left on the squad after the cut, which speaks well for Mr. Stringer, the local high school coach. According tc the Daily Illini of recent date, Coach Lippe's basketball men show promise in first competition. Work of Thomasson, Klingensmith, Hall, Doyle and Overton stands out in the first games. In one of the practice games in the gym, the Hellstroms and the Potters game was marked by little scoring activity and good guarding. The final score was 16 to"9. Doyle led his mates in scoring, accounting for six points, while Overton did the same for the Hellstroms.

Work on the mill pond bridge is progressing nicely and the big eight-inch electrical pump is pumping water and mud out of the coffer dam. They expect to have this finished by Thursday night and will then be ready to drive pile for the concrete. Good progress is being made with the fill for the west end of the bridge at the mill pond.

Very little excitement was Shown over the returns that night although at the Sentinel office a number at telephone calls were answered. At the court house a small erowd assembled to tyB&r the early returns from the county. The returns came iu very slowly and it was midnight before any real figures were collected.

Fourth Grade--Shirley Covalt. Fifth Grade--Beatrice Weber, Hacrowd assembled to hear the returns on the legislature battle- Early return* showed that a hot battle would be waged between Stewart and Wightman for third man on the ticket. Jackson's strength in all three counties was surprising and it was thought for a while that he would be high man on the ticket. Stewart was not a bit nervous during the evening although he was surprised at the vote Jackson was getting. Stewart's friends were confident that late returns would show t h a t R o y w o u l d b e t h i r d - o v e r 5,000 votes. . The big feature of the evening took place when the returns from Hartland reached the county clerk's office. The figures showed that Charles Allen only carried Hartiand over his opponent John D. Donovan by one vote. The vote «was Allen 59 and Donovan 58. Cyrus Sanford was an interested spectator around the court house. Although he was not alarmed over the *>utcorte of the sheriff scrap he was Keenly interested in the returns. Frank Hendricks took things easy during the completion of the returns. He seemed to be more Interested in the outcome of the battle of his old boss, Roy J. Stewart than in any other office on the ticket- Nothing was seen of Charlie Allen. He probably got the returns at his Cary Lome. He had nothing to worry about although the Hartiand vote must have given him something to talk about. The morning found the court house a busy place. Supervisors from the various townships in the county were on deck early with the election books and the ballots. The writer heard one conversation that was real amusing. A young man stepped up to the county dlerk's desk and said, "Here are the ballots and looks from McHenry." Clerk Still took the ballots and books and thanked the young man. "You dont know who I am," stated the young McHenry gentleman. "Well your face I* familiar but I can't call yon by name," Still remarked. "Well I was your opponent yesterday," stated the McHenry man. So there you have the conversation of the ftrst meeting of Henry Miller, Democratic candidate for county clerk and Ouy E. Still, Republican candidate. It was a very interesting conversation that followed. John Buehler, veteran Crystal Lake justice of the peace, was at the court house early today and immediately started his work of canvassing the vote. Mr- Buehler always loafer Itr* ward with pride to this Jetr. cently, with the exception of two trains each way and these will be operated at a loss, it is claimed. The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Austin, who resides on a farm three miles south of Huntley, died of a fractured skull, last Wednesday, caused from a fall from a silo that he had climbed against his "parents' wishes. Two men were killed, four children of the Deer field township high school at Highland Park were injured seriously and eleven other hurt slightly Monday of last week when a North Shore Line school bus, in which they were riding tQ. school, was struck by a southbound Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul suburban passenger train on a grade tVossing. While workmen last week removed trees from a vacant lot next door, Mrs. Frank Spears of DesPlanes noticed on apple tree that had several branches in full bloom. She gathered them and enjoyed the blossoms in her home while the following day snow fakes were flying over the ground. Roy Schafer, working in sewer construction work in Libertyville, suffered a fracture of the skull Saturday when a rock fell from the conveyors on an excavating machine, striking him on the head. His condition is reported serious at the Victory Memor ial hospital where he is a patient. The Interrieden Canning company of Grayslake will discontinue operating next year, according, to a recent reort. The plant has been running every season for many years and a large amount of peas have been put up. No definite plan as regards the disposal of the plant or other holdings of the company has been made. Edwin Hucker of Antioch is a recent patient in the Lake county hospital caused from a gun exploding, which he was picking up from the bottom of his boat. The bullet tore a hole through his shoulder, but latest reports are that he is recovering nicely. M'HENRY BOWS TO WOODSTOCK Both Load Teams Lose in Football Games at County Seat Saturday. SfclTenry suffered a double defeat at the hands of Woodstock last Saturday in two close and hard fought battles. The hevies seemed unable to play their usual game and lacked the pep and fight that has been shown in their previous games. This defeat nearly put McHenry out of the running for county championship honors as Woodstock has not been defeated. McHenry received the kick-off and on the first play Hitchens made 20 yards around end- Woodstock took the ball oq $ Jumble, however, and started a steady march down the field until they made a touchdown. Each play was closely contested and Woodstock barely made their 10 yards on their downs. Woodstock made the try for goal and the score stood at 7 to,0 in favor of Woodstock. The rest of the game was played near the middle of the field, neither team making any real threat to score. In the closing minutes of play McHenry made several desperate attempts to score by a line pass. One pass that came within inches of being completed and would have meant touchdown had not a Woodstock player managed to knock it down. The game ended a moment later and McHenry suffered their second defeat of the season. ^ ' The lights put on a good battle in all but the first period when Wood stock put over a touchdown by line smashes. In the third quarter the local lights made a real effort to score, advancing the ball 50 yards to Woodstock's 30-yard line before being stopped. A drop kick fell short and Woodstock took the ball out of danger and the game ended with Woodstock winning 6-0. Elgin Academy lightweights are coming to McHenry this Saturday to play the locals in what should be a good game. Some of McHenry's former football stars are playing with Elgin and are anxious to hand their old teammates a defeat. McHenry is just as anxious to win and thus make up for their defeat at the hands of Woodstock last Saturday. But one game is to be played so the fireworks will start at 2:15 o'clock. Come out and see a real game. M'HENRY COUNTY CASTS PI VOTE INTEREST IS LACKING XV /fl 3 ELECTION TUESDAY % J Total Vote In County, 7,0W-- Smith Wins In U. S- Senator Fifht In consideration of the mother ef voters in the two McHenry precincts a very light vote was ca3t on Tuesday. The interest which should be taken in the election of our county, state and national officials was sadly : lacking and the day was a quiet one. McHenry county duplicated the feat ; of neighboring counties by giving Republican candidates in the general , election a clean cut margin of victory : over their opponents.

Still; county treasurer, Frank J. Hendricks; sheriff, Cyrus Sanford and county superintendent of schools, Ethel C. Coe. With prohibition being voted on in eight states early returns indicated that in Illinois it was condemned by a decisive margin. The total number of votes cast in McHenry county was 7,099. The wets cast 3,060 votes against the drys* 2,540, on the Volstead amendment ballot. A majority of the total vote cast was necessary for this to carry which meant 3,500 in this, case, the wets falling short almost: 500. The canal lease proposition carried. in the county by 3,568 to 1,423.
