Plckpocktl LOHI Oat Postmaster H. C. Mead met with quite an exciting experience with two pickpockets in Chicago last Saturday evening. Mr. Mead had just arrived in the city and was about to board a street car in front of the Wells street station when a man rushed to the car before hint, ordering him to beard the car from the front. Obeying the strang­ er's command, Mr. Mead started for the front of the car, but had not gone half the length of the car when he was halt­ ed by a second stranger. Presence of mind at once told Mr. Mead that be was up against a bojd-up and he turned around quite hastily to get away. In turning around one of the fellows grab­ bed their intended victim's pocket book from the pocket of his trousers, but, fortunately, Mr. Mead was just a little too quick for him and relieved the stranger of his booty before he had time to think. Not only did he get the pock­ et book, but he also grabbed the would- be pickpocket and gave him one of the liveliest shakings that he probably ever had. Grabbing the stranger by the back of the neck, Mr. Mead started him for the depot to place bim in charge of an officer, but as is generally the oase in Chicago, no blue coat could be found, and being in a hurry to catch a train out of Chicago, Mr. Mead, after apply­ ing the fore part of his shoe in a vigor­ ous manner to the seat of the stranger's trousers, bade him adieu and departed.

Nnnda Herald: Gideon DesJardins of Nunda was seriously injured Satur­ day afternoon by the 2:20 passenger train from Chicago, and now lies at his home suffering from the loss of all the toes of his left foot, besides severe con­ tusions and abrasions about the head and neck. Mr. DesJardins was a pas­ senger on the train coming up from Cary. He was standing on the steps about the middle of the train, and at the Main Btreet crossing in Nunda was suddenly precipitated from the steps, losing his balance. He was caught by S. E. Baker and L. F. Carlton, who were standing on the platform, but was torn from their grasp and rolled over, his left foot falling under the car wheels and being terribly crushed. The train had now come to a standstill, and Mr. DesJardins was taken to the home of W. D. Fiske, where the railroad physic ian, Dr. H. D. Hull, gave him an exam­ ination. Besides the loss of all the toes of his foot and the scratches and bruis­ es there appeared no serious injury. The crushed toes were amputated, the wounds dressed, and Mr DesJardins is now resting as well as can he expected, altho the accident was a severe shock to his nervous system. He is a man 59 years of age, and has not been in the best of health for the past few Baseball.

MARTIN > Away at OH Homestead at Ortead on July %&» Woodstock Republican: "The death of Peter S. Martin, which occurred at the old homestead west of McHenry at 4:50 o'clock Sunday morning, July 28, 1907, was a sad blow to his family and many intimate friends. Mr. Martin has always enjoyed remarkably good health until about two years ago, when he was first stricken with paralysis, followed by other complications, he having been confined to his bed for the last three months and daring the last few days did not rqpognize those about bim. He could not speak, and In spito o? all that was done, the struggle proved too great and he gave up, passing quietly and peacefully in&V the sleep that knows no awakening. Peter S. Martin was born at Sutton, W. Va., Dec. 11, 1837. He came to Il­ linois in the fall of 1852, and with the exception of nine years, which were spent in Iowa, he has been a resident of McHenry county. In 1859 he was unit­ ed in marriage to Wealthy A. Tanner. Six children blessed this union, four of whom, with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of one of the best hus­ bands and the kindest and most indul­ gent of fathers. The children are: Car­ rie (Mrs. E. J. Mansfield), Frank E., Cora (Mrs- E. E. Iiassett), Edwin L., Nellie and Morris, the last two named having died in infancy. In addition to the wife and children the deceased is survived by four grandchildren (Clinton and Laura Martin, Leslie and Florubel Bassett), and four brothers (M. W. Mar­ tin, Marionville, Mo. ;,Wm. H. Martin, Sedgwick, Kan.; Francis M. Martin, Harvard and Byron C. Martin, Delavan, Wis.). Mr. Martin was a man of strict integ­ rity and noble character. He was kind- hearted and generous, and the poor and those in need were'always sure of assist­ ance from him. He was a true Christ­ ian, being a member of the M. E. church of Greenwood. A residence of over fifty years had gained for him an extensive acquaintance and few men were , more widely known or so universally esteemed throughout the community, and he was held in high respect by his fellow citi­ zens, his passing away' causing sincere sorrow and regret. The fnneral services were held from the farm home at 1 o'clock Tuesday aft­ ernoon, Rev. J. E. DeLong of Green­ wood, assisted by Rev. E. H. Beal of McHenry, ofti-iating. Rev. DeLong de­ livered an excellent sermon. The music was furnished by a quartet from the Greenwood M. E. church. The remains were laid to rest in the Greenwood cemetery, the pall-bearers being Chas. Jecks, Wilbur Bassett, Bsr- uie Harrison, Henry Mead, Henry Ho* bart and Wm. Thomas. Relatives and friends from a distance in attendance at the funeral were: F M. Martin and family, Harvard; Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Martin, Delavan, Wis.; Mrs. Rose Watkins, Chicago; P. J. Schiller, and family, Mrs. Ida King, Mr. and Mrs. Kline, Roy Brass, Woodstock; Mrs Burdick and Mr. and Mrs. Dave Ma goon, Elgin. AMONG? THE RESORTERj WARM WEATHER BRINGS MANY. OUT Burglar la Caugfet. The burglar who broke into the. jew elry store of J. P. Smith a short time ago is now "putting up" at the county jail in Woodstock, having been cap­ tured by Constable Andruss of Algon quin after burglarizing the Algonquin depot. In regard to the burglar the Nunda Herald has the following to say: It appears that Wm. O'Brien, arrested last week by Constable Andruss of A1 gonquin for burglary of the Algonquin depot, is a bad man and responsible for numerous criminal acts. Constable An­ druss says that O'Brien confessed to him that on the Friday night previous to the Algonquin job he committed a robbery at McHenry. Andrnss found several watches on O'Brien. O'Briin also told Andruss he broke into the Terra Cotta depot Sunday night and secured a little small change, and that during the previous week he had rifled a barber shop in Carpentersville of all its razors. The fellow is quite familiar with criminal law, and understands its course better than most people. It is hoped that he will have a still fnrtl)fr knowledge of it when the court of Mc Henry coanty is thru with him." Have you seen The Plaindealer's new line of 1908 calendars?

After lunch the afternoon was spent in admiring the pretty and pictur­ esque places along the water's edge; also a merry party of bathers from one of the hotels. A happy but tired party re­ turned to McHenry about 6:30 in the evening. ANOTHER ACCIDENT AT DAM. Another aocideut that came very near proving fatal to two occurred at the Fox river dam last Friday afternoon. W. A. Schaefer took a party of friends to the dam in his gasoline launch and after their destination had been reached three of the party, Mr. and Mrs. H. Claussen and Mr. Fox, all o# Chicago, set out for a row in a row boat. Wish­ ing to anchor near the dam Mr. Fox rowed up as near as possible to the dam and with a rope attempted to lasso one of the posts. His cast not only fell short but caused the boat to upset as welL Mr. Fox saved himself by a powerful leap to the dam. His compan­ ions were precipitated into the powerful cm rent. After a heroic struggle Mr. and Mrs. Claussen succeeded in reach­ ing the dam, and by exerting their re- ^ maining strength succeeded in reaching the shore. Both victims were nearly suffocated with water when thejf finally reached land. They were in the water nearly forty minutes. COUNTY'S INCREASE. Fine Record at Prosperity Shown by flf- nro* From AsaeMora' Books. , Harvard Herald: The McHenry coan­ ty board of review is having a busy time of it in their work of reviewing the tax lists of the various towns of the county. In most instances the various town assessors have been called in and the work of each town looked over and a comparison made of the assessment with such knowledge as the board pos­ sesses. In this way many changes are made, for no matter how thoro an as- eesso^ may be, he will as a matter of course make some errors that on M re­ view can be corrected. Mauy interesting facts come to light with the announcement of the valua­ tions set upon both real and personal property by the assessors. There is a decided increasein the valuation of real estate, which is due, it is believed, to two causes. One is' the regular four year valuation of all real estate and the other to the fact that the people are in­ vesting their money in homes rather than in personal property. The increase over 1906 by the assess­ ors runs away up, amounting to |769,- 345. Divided it means a full value in real estate on the 878,888 acres in the county of 122,441,105, while on the 8242 lots in the county the full value amounts to 17,362,380. The value on the tele­ phone and telegraph property rnns up to |l87,455 and on railroad property it is $4,874,050; the total assessment of lands, lots and personal property is $44, 810,290 and the total excess of increase over last year as returned by the assess­ ors foots up to $769,545. Below is given some figures^ to the value of many articles of personal property in the county and the kind of property therein: No. Va'.ue Horses 14,877 §1,174,740 Cuttle.:... 85.413 lt7.Ki,5S»0 Mules... • AS Sheep 5,SIS 84,430 lloxs- 33,045 JM1.KI0 I-ntfinea and boilers 485 Safes 140 7,tt4» Milliards and JMX)! tables AS U.WK) Carriages and w«goas SJM 1*1,015 Watches and clocks 4,405 * K3,040 Hewiug machines 3,404 3S.47I) 1'iaSos 1.975 120,085 Organs .416 Su-itiHbo&ts, etc .. . . .
