The deceased was born in County Kilkenny, Ireland, Jan. 1, 1953, and was 63 years, 4 months and 11 days of age at the time of his death. He came to this country with his parents at an early age, ^he family settling In McHenry county. He was married to AnA3tasja Bol- ger on January 13, 1886.

The remains were followed to their last resting place in St. Patrick's cemetery by a large concourse of Sorrowing rela­ tives and friends. McHenry people, who had known the deceased in life, extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones. Band Dance Peatponed Owing to a - misunderstanding, Walsh's orchestra of Chicago, which was advertised to furnish the music for the band dance at Stoffel's hall last Friday evening, did not put in an apearance and tfierefore a large crowd of dancers went home some­ what disapopinted. As soon as it was learned that the music had not arrived a. few of the boys got busy with the telephone and within a very, short time a local orchestra was on hand to furnish music for those who cared to remain to enjoy a few hours at dancing. No charge was made for the evening's amusement. The band members are very sorry that the mis­ understanding occurred and assure the holders of tickets as well as the public in general that they will more than make good when the postponed dance takes place, which, according to present plans, will be held within the next two weeks.

What is believed to have been a systematic plan to steal hundreds of dollars' worth of brass from the Oli­ ver Typewriter company at Wood­ stock was uncovered last Thursday by Police Chief James Ogle of Wood­ stock in a sensational afternoon raid on the home of James Murray, a transient, who obtained employment at the Oliver works a week ago. The man's room was stripped and brass found in three different parts of the place. A large quantity was con­ cealed under the mattress in his bed, and the bulk of the brass recovered was found in a hidden gunny sack. In all, about fifty pounds were recovered. This was made up of small brass at­ tachments. The brass itself is val­ ued at 60 cents a pound, and after be­ ing put thru the machines is valued at $1 a pound. Murray was arrested and bound over "to the May term of the circuit court on a charge of lar­ ceny. He refused to tell where he cam^p from. He appeared at the Oliver plant ten days ago and was given a position as porter, working nights. He is believed to have car­ ried away a quantity of brass every time he left the plant. R. N. A.
