WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1921 This Lake Bluff Fellow Issues a Mean Challenge F. H. Young of Lake Bluff, felt par- ticularly youthful Wednesday when appearing in Magistrate Mickey's Wilmette Speeder's court, he issued a formal and energetic challenge to one Peter Schaeffer, motorcycle po- liceman, to appear in the village of Lake Bluff at his own convenience and to choose his weapons. However there is reason to believe that Young intended calling upon certain of his townsmen to assume an active part in the proposed recep- tion, when one considers carefully the tone of his concluding remarks to-wit, "I'll see that you get soaked good." : Young was arrested on a charge of speeding Tuesday evening when en- countered by Schaefer on Sheridan road at Elmwood avenue. Schae- fer ticked him off at 35 miles per. Young was assessed $15 and costs. All of which prompted the invitation so graciously extended to our ster- ling motor cop, who, be it said to his credit, "kept his peace," greeting the enraged one with a beaming and al- most pitying smile. FORMER WILMETTE LEADER IS NAMED N. W. U. TRUSTEE Mrs. Carl 'R. Latham, formerly a prominent social and club leader of Wilmette, who now resides at the North Shore hotel, Evanston, was re- cently elected to the Northwestern University Board of Trustees. Mrs. Latham graduated from Northwestern University, college of Liberal Arts in 1892, and goes to the Board of Trustees as a representative of the alumni body of that institu- tion. BEWARE Reports have reached the offices of the Weekly Talk that bogus magazine subscription solicitors are canvassing the village exacting pay- ments in advance from prospective customers, the subscribers never hav- ing received the magazines for which they paid. Women solicitors have been the most prevalent violators in this particular type of fraud. Sell Through Want Ads Woman Found Dead In Bedroom of Home Mrs. Mary Martik of Gross Point Strangled to Death by Rope, At- ached to Bedpost Mrs. Mary Martik, 65 years old, of Gross Point, was found dead on the floor of her home at 10 o'clock Wed- nesday morning by her daughter-in- law, Mrs. Frank Placek. Mrs. Mar- tik had been strangled to death by a rope fastened about her neck and se- cured to a bedpost. Mrs. Martik, according to relatives 'retired at 10 o'clock Tuesday night. Thinking the aged woman was ill when she failed to reappear from her room in the morning, Mrs. Placek investigated, finding the body lying onthe floor at the side of the bed. A | physician called to the home, de- iclared the woman had been dead for 12 hours. It was said that Mrs. Martik had been in ill health for several months and suffered spells of despondency. She had been a resident of Gross Point only 9 months and was not well known in the village as she was con- fined to her home during most of that period. An inquest was held at the home Thursday morning.
