Fatality t •--••'V > Aa the result of an automobile col- *• lision which occurred on State highway No. 22 near Carpentersville at -9:30 o'clock Monday morning three v motorists are dead and two are very * seriously injured. Jacob Worts ahd his father, Theodore Worts, who are old residents and , well known in this vicinity, were instantly killed at this time. A Studebaker sedan, driven by C. : D, Roberts, with Mrs. Anna Cavanaugh and Mrs. Elizabeth Hanson at passengers, had been proceeding south from Algonquin. They had been returning to Chicago from a week-end tour into Wisconsin. The smash-up occurred when they had reached the intersection of Lincoln avenue road and the Fox River trail, just north of , Carpentersville. The Studebaker car was struck, head-on, by a Ford sedan car, in which Jacob Worts and Theodore Worts were occupants. The Worts car approached the Roberts car with! all indications of making a safe pas-1 sage, but when within some fifteen feet of each other the Ford suddenly turned directly into the path of the Studebaker. It is supposed that some defect in the steering apparatus of the Ford caused the swerve into the larger car. Both cars were traveling at about 30 to 36 miles an hour and the impact was reported terrific by a witness, Fred J. Holtz of Carpentersville. The collision was followed almost immediately by a blaze, both cars being enveloped by fed from the gasoline tanks. Jacob Worts was thrown completely from the Ford and Mr. Holtz then dragged Theodore Worts from the burning car and assisted the others from the Studebaker. The injured persons were taken tc the Sherman hospital at Elgin. Both Mrs. Cavanaugh and Mir. Roberts sustained fracture of several ribs and both are suffering from internal injuries. Mrs. Hanson and Theodore Worts are believed to have died instantly^ both bodies being considerably mutilated by the impact. Jacob Worts is bejieved to have died a few moments after the smash-up, before he could be taken to a hospital or before first aid could be administered. MVs. Hanson was reported as ibout 75 years of age and is the mother of Mrs. Cavanaugh. Theodore Worts, the father of Jacob Worts, was 91 years old and ' had resided at Wauconda with his only daughter, Mrs. Lena Gainer. He had spent the week-end in Elgin, visiting his son and had been returning to Wauconda when the fatal ac- - cident occurred. The bodies were taken to the Waite Ross-Allanson undertaking parlors at Elgin where an inquest was conducted Tuesday morning. The actual cause of the fatal collision will probably always remain a mystery, although an exhaustive search was conducted by the coroners jury Tit Elgin Tuesday morning. The assumption of $»e investigating jurors was that the steering apparatus of the Ford broke or that Mr. Worts sunddenly overcome by a pain, he had previously suffered from a ailment ably this vicinity most of his life. He was also a retired farmer and had been living at 255 Weston Avenue, Elgm. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jeanette Worts, and seven children. One son, George, lives at McHenry and is employed in the Knox Motor Sales garage. Other children are: Mrs. L. Roberts, 840 Orange street, Elgin; Mrs. Edward Belrichard. 339 Vandalia street, Elgin; Mrs. Arthur Brink, 128 Hilton Place, Elgin; Mrs. William Gude, Racine, ^s.; Mrs. Earl Davis, Grayslake, and Theodore Worts, of Crystal Lake. The body of Theodore Worts Was brought to the home of his son, Mike Worts, at McHenry, Tuesday afternoon, where it will remain until Thursday morning at which time a double funeral service will be conducted for the father and son at the St. Peter's Catholic church at Volo at 10 o'clock with burial at the Volo cemetery. '•v-T*; FOUR MEN CAUGHT ^ - USING 200-FT. NET Chicago Picked Up at Midnight Saturday By Game Warden Engeln Game Warden John A. Engeln reports the arrest on Saturday night of four men from Chicago, who were caught using a trammel net at Fish Lake, east of McHenry. They are Fred Montanaro, Charles Brock, C. M. Keil and Joe Raosinger. The quartet were taken to Fox Lake, where they were booked on charges of having no fishing licenses, using a trammel net, illegally taking fish from a forest preserve and taking black bass out of reason. They will be given a hearing Saturday of this week. The four men wei4 eaught about midnight Saturday, with a 200-foot net and a bag of fish, some of which were black bass. If these men are found guilty of the crime of which they are accused, a fine to the limit of the law would be none too big. Considerable time and money is being spent in trying to keep the waters of this region stocked with game fish and to have them deliberately scooped out with a net--well, we would say that is some sportsmanship. McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY APRIL 28, 1927 T SENIOR GLASS IN SPLENDID COMEDY PACKED HOUSES GREET PLAYERS - WOODLAND CEMETERY ASSOCIATION NEEDS FUNDS With the approach of spring it becomes necessary for the Woodland cemetery association to get busy with their plans for the upkeep and improvement of the cemetery for another year. The grass continues to grow and consequently has to be cut frequently. This, of course, requires funds with which to hire the necessary work done and which every lot owner should be only too glad to contribute to. The association, therefore, takes this opportunity of bringing to the attention of everyone who is interested in Woodland Cemetery the necessity for the payment of the dues at the beginning of the season so that sufficient funds may be had for carrying on the work. The dues are small and withing the reach of everyone, being H.00 for a grave nr single lot and $2!00 for a double lot. The association also requests those who are owing for graves or lots to pay up at once as the money is badly needed for the summer work. Payments for dues on lots can be made personally or by check to th& president, Mrs. Ella M. Wheeler, or to the secretary and treasurer, Mrs. T. J. Walsh. I It. is also suggested that anyone tomach j desiring to purchase a lot should do The exact cause willprob- so from the officers of the society and be known for the %laze, | thus avoid trouble about nafment. "Adam and Eva" Presented By High School Students Thursday and Friday Nights Thursday and Friday / evenings, April 21 ahd 22, the Senior class of the McHenry Community high school presented a three-act comedy entitled "Adam and Eva," by Guy Bolton and George Middleton, at the high school j sociation of America, thus giving its auditorium.

Each one of the characters in the play filled their role in a very able manner and cannot be over-praised for their excellent stage work which showed ability and faithful work. They have spent many weeks of wholehearted effort at rehearsal, but this was well repaid by the applause which denoted the approval of the large assembly and there was not an interested spectator present who did not feel proud of the entire senior class, who will graduate from high school in June. The scene of the first and second acts was laid in Mr. King's home on Long Island; the nrst scene being in the morning and the second act ten days later. The scene of the third act opens at the King farm in New Jersey three months later and the stage setting for this act was most realistic. It was an outdoor scene at the farm with several coops of live baby chicks who would continually manage to get through their enclosure and run about on the stage. The part of James King, the millionaire father who finds himself blessed with too much family, was very well enacted by Earl Conway, while the part of his eldest daughter, Julie, was taken by Adeilne Perkins and that of his youngest daughter, Eva, was taken by ,Jean Matthews.. His son-in-law, Clinton DeWitt, and ganized small arms practice among the citizens of the United States^ both as a sport and as a means of national defense. The government issues to the club the necessary rifles and miscellaneous targets, target cloths, etc., also the ammunition, this at no cost to the local club. All citizehs, including both sexes, past the age of 16, are eligible. The charter will be open until May 10 and until that date the cost of joining the local club will be $5.00. Thereatfer all new members will be assessed the regular dues, which are $10.00 per year. The following officers of the club have autohrity to receive membership funds: George Kramer, vice-president; Edward Nickels, executive officer; Jack Worth, treasurer; James Hmlpin, secretary.

After hearing the testimony of half a dozen witnesses, the jury was unable to decide an exact cause of the collision their verdict stating in the case of the three deaths: "Caused by shock and injury, in a collision of two automobiles on State Highway No. 22, Dundee township, April 25. 1927." The first witness of the accident was Officer Louis Kult of Elgin, who happened to be driving to Algonquin, his car being some 200 yards behind the collision. Mr. Kult was first, to reach the scene and pulled Mrs. Cavanaugh from the car and was assisted by Fred Holtz of Carpentersville in dragging the other victims from the Studebaker car. Mr. Kult's version of the accident coincided with that of State Officer H. W. Nofs and Marshal Edward Boncosky of Dundee, namely, that the Worts car had turned into the Roberts car. The three who were killed in the accident were elderly people, their combined ages totaling 240 years. Theodore Wforts, was the father of Jacob Worts and also the father of Mike Worts of this city, with whom he made his home a few years ago. -At the time of his death he made his home with his daughter. Mrs. Lena Gainer, at Wiauconda. He was born at Trier. Germany, On January 17, 1836, having been 91 years of age at the time of his death. The earlier years of his life were spent on a farm near Lily Lake and where most of his family was raised. He was a veteran of the Civil .War and was one of the eld. well-known residents in this part of the country. Seven children survive him: John and Mat of Chicago, Mike of McHenry, Mrs. Anna Wagner of Volo, Mrs. Agnes Montgomery of Chicago, and Mrs. Elizabeth Sexton of Elgin and Mrs. Lena Gainer of Volo.
