The summons were served upon the president of the association just after the removal of the flash boards at the dam and, while the case will never restore the water to the level maintained before the removal of the boards, it is hoped by the plaintiffs that it fcill prevent a reoccurrence of such action in the future. The plaintiffs declare that the association had no legel right to lower the water without the consent of a majority Of the members and further declare that it is their opinion that the boards were removed out of spite. On the other hand the officials and directors'of the association, in a letter and statement sent out to the members, show their reason of the action taken. In support of their contention the directors have issued the following report: "Paid members in 1921 were 640, in 1922 only 437 paid, representing leas than one per cent pf the property owners in this . big region who are benefitted by the improvements fostered by the association. A decrease of almost 33 per cent from last year. 325 of those who paid last year did not pay this year. The revenues to Septj. 1,1921, were $11,600.00; for 1922 ^the total if $6,200.00 as follows: •1921 1922 From members . .$7,415.00 $5,032.00 directors' loans 1,700.00 *800.00 program and ,i. tickets (net) .. 2,000.00 ' ®$2.00 weed cutting ; ; ^ and incidentals . 485.00^ ^ lp6.00 The work of taking up stock, preparatory to taming over the business to Chas.

An agreement was reached between these two gentlemen last week whereby the hardware end of the Donavin business is to be taken over by Mr. Reihansperger and, according to Use progress that is being made, the new owner will be ready to step into the harness the latter part of this week. It will be remembered that the two gentlemen named in the above transaction came to McHenry a few years ago when they purchased the hard ware business from F. L. McOmber and which they continued to operate in partnership until a year ago last spring, when Mr. Reihansperger sold his interests to his partner. Since that time the business has been carried on by Walter J. Donavin. The outside business has .grown to such proportions of late that Mr. Donavin has found himself unable to look after both ends and therefore his decision to sell out the hardware end. mmsBwm oumc ROCKFORD MASONS IMPRESSED WITH BEAUTIES HERE Took Dinner at Justen's Hotel and TTien Made River and Lake Trip on Gladola--Brought Own Band ^ SPECIAL CARS < To Cmay Bankers to This Sunday, Oct. 1 Village Total.../..$( 11,550.00 $6,200.00 A decrease of $5,350.00 The indebtedness may be swunar ized as follows: Accts. payable to outsiders. .$1,056.00 Notes payable to outsiders.. 1,000.00 Total...., $2,056.00 Cash balance on hand was. • • 419.00 Shortage • .$1,637.00 In addition, thep* an notes payable ' to directors for loans $ - 400.00 Other advances by directors. 1,700.00 ? tion which led to the arrest and con- wedged between the stone and the . miction of Ignatz Potz, who^is now platform with the result that the little serving time at Joliet for the murder finger was quite badly smashed.

"The officers, directors and solicitors of this association have used every effort to induce property owners to join the association and furnish the necessary financial support. Confronted by the fact that only 437 members have paid, the season nearly ended and insufficient money in the treasury to pay existing debts, it is impossible to carry on activities further." Final Sever Decision Tuesday From reliable information The Plaindealer learns that a final decision in McHenry's sewefr case is expected to be handed down in the McHenry county court next .Tuesday morning. Legal arguments in the matter were heard before Judge Barnes on Wednesday morning of this week, at which time the objectors turned out in goodly numbers. It seems that there is some dispute over the boundaries of the village and in older to straighten out this matter it may be found necessary to make a survey of the entire village. While both factions look forward to a favor able decision from the judge next Tuesday morning, it is hard to make a guess 'just now what this decision will be. Beginning ne^t week Mr. Donavin will devote his entire time to the furtherance of plumbing, heating and tinwork, of which he has enough on hand to keep him and his men busy for some time to come. He will maintain his shop and headquarters* in the hardware store for the time being at least. Mr. Reihansperger, who since selling out his interest in the business to his former partner has been connected with the insurance business and employed by his father-in-law, Simon Stoffel, will not give up that line of work entirely, but hopes to be able to give over at least a portion of his time to the insurance line. At the same t^me, however, he will give the hardware business the attention it deserves and will he ' ever ready to serve the public in that capacity. A Communication McHenry, Sept. 16, WSL Mr. Schreiner, Editor McHenry Plaindealer, McHenry, Illinois. Dear Sir--It is now almost 9 p. m and smelling smoke I of course investigated my house to make sure that it is not caused by a fire. As usual the smoke is caused by the burning of some garbage or refuse somewhere. While naturr.lly approving of the burning of garbage, I must confess that I think it careless to dot so at night, when few persons are up and around, all the more as one can never foretell how far a Sudden gust of wind might carry a fire. In 1898 I saw the greater part of a town of the sise of McHenry burned down because the wind spread the Are. And that was in daytime and the town I speak of had a fire department, and McHenry has NOT. You are welcome to use my letter as you may see fit.. Believe me, ( Very truly yours, T'Pr-r Oberstadt. Seventy-four members of Tebala Temple Shrine of Rockford enjoyed a most pleasant day here last Sunday. Carrying thefr own thirty-eight piece band, the delegation of Masons arrived in McHenry via automobiles shortly before the noon hour and after the band had given two selections in front of Justen's hotel all filed into the dining hall of that popular hostelry, where a bountiful repast was served them. Forming a line of inarch ift front of the hotel and headed by the band, the visitors started for Hunter's boat landing immediately after the noonday meal. Here the big passenger boat "Gladola" was boarded and to the strains of beautiful music as provided by the band the big craft slowly started its trip up the river and around Pistakee lake and bay. The shore line was followed quite closely after reaching the lake, thus giving the visitors an opportunity to enjoy the beauties of this pleasing resort region. .. For moat of the visitors the trip was entirely new and, to say the very least, they were more than delighted with the ride and the beautiful scenery and pleasing summer homes. In' fact, before the trip was half over it was decided to make a return visit to this section some time during the busy season next year, at which time they promised there would be at least double the number as comprised their party that day. On their return trip to McHenry the visitors again gathered on, the lawn at Justen's hotel, where the band gave a short concert, much to the delight of those who had been attracted to the grounds by the music. The visitors left for Rockford about five o'clock exceedingly well pleased with their day's outing and the treatment received at the hands of Everett Hunter, president of the Everett Hunter Boat company of this village, whose guests they had been. McHenry also was pleased to have these distinguished guests with us for the day and trust that "they will return next year. ITEMS OF LOCAL UffllEST AS PICKED UP BT PLAINDK4LEB REPORTERS DURING According to advertising matter af sent out by the. Chicago chapter, American Institute of Banking, special cars attached to the regular passenger trains will carry the Chicago delegation of bankers' to and from this village on Sunday, Oct. 1, the date set aside for the holding of their annual golf tournament and which is to be staged on the McHenry Country club's course. While it had previously bete expected that most of the visitors would make the trip to McHenry via automobile, the latest reports, coming thru the advertising matter as sent out to all of the various banking institutions of the Chicago chapter, it now looks as if it has been decided to make the trip via the Chicago & Northwestern. Thus the visitors will leave Chicago on the 8:15 Williams Bay passenger, arriving in McHenry at 10:19. Altho definite plans have not as yet been perfected here, it is quite likely that the members of the McHenry club will be called upon to supply cars to transport the visitors from the depot to the golf(grounds and thence to the hotel for dinner and back to the station at nigtit. That the McHenry club members will extend to the visitors every courtesy at their command is certain. The tournament itself will be open to all members of the Chicago chapter. All events will be 18 holes competition handicap play. Medals will be awarded for first, second and third 18 holes low gross as well as first, second and third for 18 holes low net. Prizes will also be awarded in a blind bogey, a mystery contest, for greatest number of pars or better, lowest number of puts and long driving contest. Officials of the McHenry club are now arranging their plans to take care of the visitors. These will be published in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. c-'tl COMMITS SUICIDE BT SHOOTING Jai Brinan Ends Life West of Town In Shack front of the two blocks, the removal of a house now located on the property and the installation of a street lighting system to conform with the system now in use on other boulevards of that city.

A healthy looking young man made the rounds of the village on Tuesday of this week soliciting alms on the plea that a severe attack of influenza had deprived him of the use of his voice and also being subject to epileptic fitB was unable to hold a position. His plea, as contained at the head of a subscription blapk, went on to say that an operation would restore his voice as well as correct his other affliction. In looking over the subscription blank we found that McHenry, as usual, had been very generous with the young man in quesi tion, but since his departure a number who contributed are wondering whether or not they had been "stung by a fakir.

Unti and children leave McHenry tomorrow for New York City, from whence Mr. Unti and son, Felicia, expect to sail soon for San Colombapo, Rimoltoli Lucca, Toscana, Italy, where they will spend the winter, while Mrs. Unti and the balance of the family will remain as guests of her sister at Van Nest, N. Y. The family expects to be away until some time in February. During Mr. Unti's absence the McHenry business will be looked after by his brother, John, who is thoroly familiar and capable of carrying on same in a satisfactory manner. v Bought Store Building M. M. Niesen i& now the owner of the store building on Green street wherein he ha» conducted a grcc business during the past several years. The deal whereby the building was transferred from the Hoimer estate to the new owner was consummated a short time ago. New Bakery Opened Monday After several unavoidable delays the new Perfect System bakery, located in the Peter B. Freund building on the West Side, opened for business on Monday of this week. The place is equipped with all of the very latest machinery' and presents a mot inviting appearance. t? t X'sSMSS Receives Blue Prints on Road Supervisor Stephen H. Freund is this week in receipt of the blue prints on the stretch of road, route No. 20, extending from the McHenry-Lake county line to the Mrs. Henry Kennebeck farm east of this village. Mr. Freund informs us that he will start right out in his endeavofr to secure the proposed right of way and anticipates very little trouble in accomplishing this task. He believes that every foot of the proposed right of way can be secured in a very short time. Mr. Freund also assisted In the securement of the right of way west of this village, completing the work in just a few days. This seems to indicate that property owners along the proposed route are in full accord with the state's program and are not only willing but anxious to co-operate with state and county officials. From very reliable sources we learn that the contracts for these stretches are quite certain to be let this fall, thus giving the successful bidder an opportunity to do some of the preliminary work this fall and thus place him m a position to -continue the project early next spring. As has been stated in these columns on various occasions state has not as yet decided what route will eventually be taken m passing thru the village of McHenry, but, judging from the fact that the surveys on the two stretches end at Sherman's hill on the west andItiie Kennebeck farm on the east, it looks if the state isn't going to do a thing about going thru our municipality until our people have gotten together and agreed upon a route to be followed. Therefore it appears to us that McHenry should immediately stop its squabbling and get down to real business, decide on a route and tell the state that they expect the road to be continued thru our village next year. ._ - Perfect Syatwa Bafcsry, w We Wish to announce to the people of McHenry and the surrounding country that the Perfect System bakery located in the Peter B.

Janes Brinan, aged shelf; years, and who has spent his entire life in the vicinity of this village, ended his liffe in a shack located in the orchard of the old Frank Hutson farm, west of town, some time during last Thursday night. He shot himself thru the heart and death must have been almost instantaneous. When he failed to put in an appearance for work on Friday morning his employer, Frank Herdrick, and his hired man went over to the shack to investigate and -there found the body. #McHenry officials were immediately notified of the ghastly find and rushed out to the scene. Later on in the forenoon the, coroner's inquest was held. Jnmes Brinan was the son of John and Kate Brinan and was born on the old Sutton farm east of this village. His parents died when he was quite young and for a number of years he made his home with the late John B. Frisby. Later on he worked about farms in that locality and during the past dozen or more years he worked on farms west of town. For some time past he has not been in the best of health. In fact, we are told that he had been considering making application for entry to the county farm at Hartland. Worry over his condition, it is believed, prompted him to commit the rash act. The funeral took place in thia^^llag•< last Friday afternoon. • v v First Uni versa list Church Next Sunday morning the Unhrersalist church will begin the work of the ensuing year. Sunday school will be held at the church at 10:00 a. m. and a most cordial invitation is extended to everyone to come at that time and participate in the organization of the work for the year. The Sunday school session will be followed at 11:00 o'clock by the congregational worship and sermon, to which all are invited. The sermon subject will be: "The Human Element in the Work of God."
