PETERS HEADS NEW GOLF CLUB ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY «SOPLB Lake Geneva, Wis,, citizens witnessed a flurry of snow on Monday, May 19. Antioch has this year formed an all-home baseball club and, according to the local newspaper, the fans are oat'to support the team. The new Channel Lake dance pavilion will hold its formal opening on June 21. After this date there will be dancing every evening until after Labor day. A class of twelve boys and girls graduated from'the Wanconda township high school last Friday evening. An exceptionally fine showing for so small a school. Zion City has just purchased and placed into commission a big six cylinder Studebaker, which is to be used as a police car. Looks as if Zion is out to enforce the speed laws. Another new dance pavilion is being erected in this section. The newest of these resorts is now going up near the Sowles Sisters' tavern, located on the Rand road in the village of Wauconda. The new Majestic theatre, under construction at Antioch, is fast nearing completion. The place, when finished, will be one of the finest of its kind to be found in any of th$ smaller towns of Lake county. With a paid-up membership of 224, the woman's auxiliary of Peter Umathum post, American Legion, of Woodstock is rapidly coming to be recognized as one of the largest and most active iiv the state of Illinois. Mrs. Inez Schwarz, housekeeper at the William Haacker home south of Marengo, died at St. Joseph's hospital in Elgin one day last week as the re-"'with suit of burns received a few days prior when a can of varnish she wis warming on a stove exploded. Paul W. Bigler, high school Coach at the Richmond-Burton community high school, has "asked the school board by whom he is employed to release him from his contract in order that he may accept a position in the Pekin school. His request will be granted, it is understood. The Lake county board of supervisors have offered a reward of $500 to any person or persons who will bring information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Arthur Loeh of Chicago, whose body was recently found near the railroad tracks near Ingleside. Boosters for the Lake county fair have had 100,000 tickets printed, which are now being sold at $1.00 each. More than $50,000 in prizes will be given to ticket purchasers, some of the largest prizes amounting to $20,000 and $10,000 each. These prizes, it is stated, will be awarded on Sept. 1. Root Brothers, Waukegan contractors, have filed suit in the Lake county circuit court against Lake county for $4,000, claiming that amounts due them from work done on the Rand road last year and 1922. They had the sub-contract for culverts from Fred C. Nelson, the general contractor, who got into financial difficulties. Nelson was not able to pay them. Woodstock has at last organized a (hiipMI club to be composed, with the exception of the battery, of all home players. Woodstock has some good baseball timber and should be able to put together a fast team. In the past few years baseball has been given but very little support in the Typewriter city, but according to newspaper accounts the fans- have this year signified a willingness to rally to the support of a home club Fair enough. William Rieke, aged forty-six, of Barrington passed away at St. Joseph's hospital at Elgin early last Friday morning following injuries received at Barrington two days before. Rieke, a truck driver employed by the Barrington Lumber company, stepped from a Ford truck to crank the machine. The car immediately started forward and before the driver eoold get out of the way he was crushed between the front of the Ford and the rear end of another car. which stood cl^se by. He received serious internal injuries, which later proved fetal. C • Two representatives of the Milwaukee Electric Railway company visited Richmond one day last week for the purpose of interesting the business men there in a motor bus line which the Wisconsin concern proposes to operate between that village and Milwaukee. Already the company is operating such line between Genoa City, Lake Geneva and many other Wisconsin cities and towns and since the service has been extended as far as Genoa City the company is desirous of including Richmond and Hebron to the list of towns which it is now serving. Express service at Jfcaight rates is the company's slogan ~ lithe rural territory it set n».y The board of directors cad officers of the newly organized Pistakee Golf club take great pleasure in announcing that the links of the club, located on the Stock farm, on the southeast shore of Pistakee lake, will be dedicated on Decoration daf, Friday, May 30. While the grounds are not in perfect condition, they are good enough to commence playing golf and therefore the officials of the club have decided on opening the course tomorrow. The club has had many obstacles to overcome in order to get the grounds in the condition that they are in at present and, while there is yet much work to be done before the course is placed in first-class playing condition, the officers and members of the board of directors are very well pleased with the progress that has thus far been made. Their hope is that time will make the course one of the most beautiful in the state of Illinois. The loaction is fdeal, the view from some points being most beautiful, while the landscape portion of the course is almost perfect, being high and rolling. ' -- The club and course will soon prove a real acquisition to Pistakee Bay. It is one thing that has been lacking at this beautiful summer resort for a number of years and now that their long-wished for want has been filled it is hoped that the membership will increase rapidly. The course is so located that its access is made convenient to all residents of Pistakee Bay and Lake. It may be handily reached by either automobile or motor boat. Here amid unsurpassed scenic surroundings, devotees of this great outdoor sport will find a real golf course gentle, rolling fairways, an abundance of natural hazards and good greens. Let every summer resort resident around Pistakee bay or lake make up their minds that this is their club and everyone is welcome to join. There is no excuse for any resident in this summer resort district not to be a member of the club, whether they are enthusiastic golfers or not, inasmuch as the course itself will enhance the value of Pistakee property and bring in many new residents that could in no other manner be attracted to this beautiful summer resort country. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Charles W. Peters; vice president, Charles F. Glaeser; secretary, Fred L. Wilk, Jr.; treasurer, Wm. A. Small Jr. Directors: Charles W. Peters, Charles F. Glaeser, Fred L. Wilk, Jr., Fred H. Miller, Carl Buehler, Mark L. Solomon and Albert J. Cox. Those wishing to enroll as members may consult with any of the above named gentlemen, who will be pleased to accept their applications at any time. ALL .OF THE SEWER MAINS ARE NOW IN The last of the sewer mains on the original city contract were laid on Wednesday of this week and yesterday found the men making the last connection at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Washington street. Before leaving McHenry, however, the contractor has three extensions to put in. One of these will be on Richmond road past the Wm. Bonslett subdivision, another will be south on Center street from John street and the third south from John street on Elgin road. None of these jobs will require much time and it is expected that all will be completed within the course of the next few weeks. CHI-NAMfeL PRIZE CON- «TEST AT RINGWWOD S. W.

SCHM11T KILLED Hi AUTO ACCIDENT FATALITY OCCURRED NEAR BILLINGS, MONT., MAY 21--VICTIM FORMER RESIDENT Mrs. Elizabeth Schmitt, for many years one of McHenry's highly respected townspeople, was given a sad shock last week when a wire notified her of the death of her son, William, at Billings, Mont. ^ George Schmitt, a brother residing at Woodstock, immediately made arrangements for a trip to the far west, leaving Crystal Lake last Friday morning and arriving in McHenry with the body on Tuesday noon of this week. The unfortunate man lost his life *n an automobile accident near Billings at ten o'clock last Wednesday morning when his machine tipped over and pinned the driver underneath, crushing in his chest. He passed away a short time after the accident. Mr. Schmitt, engaged in the oil drilling business, was on his way to Billings to meet one of his partners, a Mr. Wells, when the fatality took place. With him in the car at the time was a son of Mr. Wells, who escaped practically uninjured. The driver was pinned beneath the driving wheel and the frame of the car. The deceased was born on the old Schmitt homestead, on the east Johnsburg-Spring Grove road, a short distance northeast of Johnsburg on April 27, 1872, and at the time of his death was fifty-two years of age. His parents later moved from the Johnsburg farm to a place near Emerald Park southeast of this city, where he grew to young manhood. Taking Horace Greeley's advice, he left his home some thirty years ago and started to seek his fortune in the West. He first stopped in Minnesota and thence located at Jamestown, N. D., where he resided for many years and where he was engaged in the carpenter and contracting business. Retiring from this business about three years ago, he became a member of the Jamestown Development company, which concern is now quite actively engaged in drilling oil wells in the vicinity of Billings, Mont. The company already has one producing well, while a second is now being sunk. He was superintending the sinking of this well when he met his unexpected and tragic death. The body was first taken to Jamestown, N. D., where funeral services were held from the Catholic church on Sunday, the Elks lodge of Jamestown, of which the deceased was a member, taking entire charge of the body after the accident and also making all arrangements for the funeral and attending same in a body. His lodge brothers also arranged for the shipment of the body to McHenry and wired McHenry county Elks, who were at Crystal Lake Tuesday morning when the body arrived. Mr. Schmitt is survived by his aged mother of this city, one sister, Mrs. J. C. Wagner of Denver, Colo., and one brother, George Smith of Woodstock. He was unmarried. During the many years in which he made his home at Jamestown, N. D., he was recognized as a highly respected citizen. He proved himself ambitious and thru hard and honest toil, his business career there proved quite successful. On retiring from the contracting business about three years ago, it was with the thought in mind of spending the balance of his life in leisure, to which he believed himself entitled after these many years of activity. However, when the oil proposition was put to him and after going into the thing thoroly he finally consented to become a member of the company, with thfe result that the move proved a highly profitable one, but just as the future held for him his life's highest reward he was called away. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week with" Rev. Dummermuth, assistant pastor officiating. Members of the Elks from this and neighboring cities attended in a body. Interment was made in St. Mary's cemetery. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of our citizens in general in this, their sad hour of bereavement CHICAGO CLUB ENJOYS I OUTING AT GRISWOLD WHATS NEW ON THE ROAD? This question is still being asked by many citizens who are anxious to see the completion of route 20 as it will -pass thru this cityr- Every tiling pr^"r?m of concerning this matter has been very quiet during the past week or two, but in view of the fact that the contractor will soon be pulling out it begins to loolf as if McHenry is out of luck so far as the connecting link between the east and west sections of route 20 goes. However, some of the officials are still at work and have not given up hope. Forty-eight members of the Grand Hazahras, a club made up of employes of the Western Electric com pany of Chicago, drove to this city last Saturday for a week end stay hfcre and at Griswold lake, where a rnirts was carried out, The party arrived in McHenry via automobile Saturday afternoon and made their headquarters at Justen's hotel, where they partook of a dinner Saturday evening and also took their meals on Sunday. Most of Sunday was spenjf; at Griswold lake, where some of the club members own summer homes. A most delightful time was had by aft MEMORIAL SERVICES FRIDAY PROGRAM AT EMPIRE TOMORROW MORNING AT 19:30 The members of the McHenry post, American Legion, with a view of. creating more interest in the observance of Memorial day in McHenry. have decided to this year hold the services and make the march to the three cemeteries in tike morning instead of afternoon. The services and program will take place at the Empire theatre starting promptly at 10:30 o'clock.

It is the hope of the officers of the McHenry post that the people of this community will turn out in large numbers and that the line of march will be a long one. The McHenry band will lead the march, followed by, the school children, the soldiers and citizens. * - -- * The members of the McHenry Community club will attend the services and march as a body. Poppies have already been placed on sale and everyone approached should purchase one of the artificial flowers. The sale of these flowers is expected to at least defray a portion of the expense as incurred by the Legion in jinking McHenry's Decoration day observance possible. Let everyone who can possibly arrange to do so turn out. We^we this respect to'our soldiers, dead and living. FIVE MOREPAY FINES JOS. J.

CEMETERY AID TO MEET TUESDAY, JUNE 3 CASE OF FRED WEINSCHENKER WENT TO JURY AT S:M JbAST EVENING The liquor cases are the fcenter of interest in the McHenry county circuit court at Woodstock this week and as we go to press it looks as if all of the defenders will either plead or be found guilty of the charges as preferred against them on indictments returned !>y the January grand jury. With opening of the May term of court last Monday morning, five men, charged with selling liquor, pleaded guilty. Louis Cernocki of Fox River Grove was handed the heaviest fine of the men to enter pleas of guilty on that day. His fine and costs totalled more than $1,500. After pleading guilty to first, second, third and nineteenth counts of his indictment. he was fined $500 each on the first two counts, $400 on the third and $100 on the last, the latter being a nuisance charge. He was also required to put up a $1,000 bond as an assurance that his place would be conducted in a lawful manner in the future. frJos. J. Mertes of Pistakee Bay, after pleading guilty, was assessed a line of $400 and costs, while John J. Buch of this city, who also pleaded guilty, was fined $800 and costs. William Melahn and John Struwving, both of Algonquin, were the other two indicted men to enter pleas of guilty, the former receiving a fine of $200 and costs and the latter $300 and costs. The case of Fred Weinschenker of this city came up before Judge Heard of Freeport - on Wednesday. The work of selecting the jury was com pleted shortly after the court opened for the afternoon session. The case took up the greater part of the afternoon, the jury retiring at 5:00 o'clock last evening, and is expected to bring in a sealed verdict this morning. It is expected that the balance of the McHenry cases will come up starting today. Those who have not already pleaded guilty have decided to stand trial. They have engaged the services of Attorney Sullivan of Chicago, who is being assisted by his law partner, Atty. Moht Ward. EXPECT TO COMPLETE ROAD JOB SOON The Ladies' Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T. J. Walsh on Tuesday afternoon, June 8, at 2:00 o'clock. Please remember the date and be present. The work has begun and we are depending on the friends and lot owners to pay dues promptly and assist us in trying to keep Woodland cemetery in a neat, and presentable condition. Mrs. J. B. Perry, ^*es. Mrs. Ella Wheeler, Vice Presi Mrs. T. J. Walsh, Sec. «• Mrs Arminda Colby, Treas. WHI» favorable weather conditions the cement road between this city and Volo should be completed within the course of the next week. Work was started on the McHenry end the latter part of last week and notwithstanding the fact that the rain of Sunday again caused a forced lay-off good progress has been made. The big mixer and cement pouring gang arrived at a point in front of the home of John S. Freund last evening and by tonight the ribbon should have reached a point not far from the country home of John F. Claxton. This means that within the next few days, weather permitting, the entire contract will have been completed so far a* the road bed is concerned. Farmers along the right-of-way are now using the cement road from the Volo end as far as Lily Lake and it is now practically assured that the entire stretch will be open to travel within the course of the next three weeks. Wfi$T SIDE BUSINESS ? MEN WANT CONCERTS FIRST GOLF TOURNAMENT NO. 91 CLUB MEMBERS TO PLAY QUALIFYING ROUNDS TOMORROW The season's official opening of the McHenry Country club will take place tomorrow (Friday), when members will play their qualifying rounds for the medals to be presented later on. Harry Morris, club professional, means to keep things moving at the club during the 1924 season and has already planned a number of tournaments and special events to be staged during the next few months. The qualifying round of eighteen holes for class medals, for members only, is to tafce place tomorrow. There will be two classes, A and B, with medals awarded in each class. All contestants playing eighteen holes below the score of 100 will be placed in class A, while those turning in scores between 100 and 120 will be in class B. The player having the lowest score in each class will be the possessor of the medal in his class. The player holding medals will be subject to challenge by any player in same class. He will be obliged to play anyone who challenges him within a week after challenge has been made. If he fails to play when he is challenged he will forfeit the medal to the one who has challenged him. The play will be a match play according to handicap. August 30 will be the date of the qualifying round for final possession of the medals. After the qualifying round has been staged, the play off will be match play with handicaps. The player winning the final match will keep the medal. The runner-up will also receive a medal for his efforts. The winner's medal will be of gold, while that of the runner-up will be one of silver. During the qualifying round there will be a prize for play against par, at match play With handicap. There will also be a blind bogie for guests on Decoration day, while another blind bogie, open to everyone will take place on Sunday, June 1. Members of the club are urgently asked to turn in their scores in order that a fair handicap for each player may be determined. Mr. Morris is also asking each player to put down on card in handicap rack his ten be«t nine hole scores each month. Further information regarding the coming touranment may be had by making application to Mr. Morris, who will be found at the club house at any time during the day. The officials of the club believe that the tournaments this season will create much interest and enthusiasm among the members and that these events will witness a large list of entries. The grounds are in excellent condition. In fact, out of town guests inform us that the grounds and especially the greens are the finest to be found anywhere, not barring the exclusive clubs in Chicago and other points. PETITION OUT FOR PAYING OF RIVERSIDE DRIVp A. E. Nye, who has been named to solicit subscriptions for band concerts from the West Side business men, informs us that most of the people he has seen are perfectly willing to contribute to such a fund provided that they are assured of some of the concerts in their business section. Two years ago, it will be remembered, all of the concerts were given in Borden's park. This apparently did not meet with the approval of the West Side contributors, who are now asking the assurance of at least a portion of the concerts in that end of town. It begins to look as if it will be necessary to provide a movable platform if McHenry is to be given concerts this season. ' SCARIFIER WORK MUST BE DONE OVER HUNTER BOAT LINE OPERATING *fhe Hunter boat line of this city has inaugurated its regular passenger service for the season and boats are now making daily trips between McHenry and points along the river and lower lakes. Boats may also be Teiited by the day or hoar. Just as the city scarifier was completing its work on our street last week, the heavy rain came up and spoiled practically all that had been done and in order to place our streets in the condition that they should be in for the oil the work will have to be gone over again. It had been the plan of the street committee to have the grader follow the work of the scarifier in the hope that the road's surface would be left in excellent condition for oiling. Further plans of the committee are to fix up and oil sections of streets at a time and close these thorofares while the work or oiling is in progress. In^this manner, it is believed, that * 4nuch mare satisfactory job can J* done. We understand- that a (petition is being circulated among the property owners along Riverside Drive for the purpose of ascertaining just how many of these are in favor of cementing that thorofare. This stretch of road, always subject to heavy travel, has been in very bad condition for some time past and especially so right now while the sewer improvement is in progress of construction. Some of the main boosters for the proposed paving improvement are more than enthusiastic over the prospects of putting their plans over and seeing them come to a fulj realization. Over on the West Side petitions were circulated among property owners along Main street last fall and those pushing the paving project there feel that things are pretty well set for the improvement. One booster, when interviewed recently, informed the writer that their work had practically been completed and that it is now up to the city council to say whether or not their wishes in this direction ate to be granted. A. JL*¥«SHOUSB _ BURNS AT COAL CITY A. E. Nye, proprietor of the West Side music and jewelry store, received word- from Coal City on Tuesday of this week that his home there had been destroyed by fire. Mr. Nye purchased the place a few years ago while he was engaged as superintendent of schools in that city. According to the message as received by the McHenry man the house was totally destroyed. The loss is partially covered by insurance. PURE FOOD SALE AT CITY HALL The Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church will hold a food sale at the city hall Saturday, May 31, at ten o'clock a. m.

Sickenberger. 49-St* On account of the rain the baseball game scheduled between the McHenry team and Wilmot, Wis., did not Materialize last Sunday. Notwithstanding the fact that fhe weather has been anything but "favorable for automobile touring, a number of travelers have already made aae of McHenry's tourist camp located on the M. A. Conway property east of Fox river. - This e^ ening will witness the op Hi ing of the Polly Prim tavern and (fee* Fox pavilion. The first named place has just been completed, while the Fok will open ~ its third season. Both managements are looking forward to large crowds. The new home being erected for Alvin Peterson, in the M. A. Conway subdivision east of Fox river, is going up rapidly and should be ready for occupancy within the course of the » next few weeks. Emil Peterson is the contractor and builder. The dancing season was opened at Stanton's pavilion at Long Lake last Saturday evening. Dances will he conducted there on Friday and Saturday evenings' of this week. Musk is this year being supplied by the Red Pepper orchestra of Chicago. A report that the body of a woman had been found near the shore of Fox river near this city caused quite a hit of excitement here last Saturday evening. The report was circulated about nine o'clock, but upon investigation it was found to be without foundation. Miss Vera Stoffel, who for a number of years has been employed in the office of the Wilbur and Alexander Lumber companies in this city, was taken to the Woodstock hospital last Sunday evening, since which time she has submitted to a successful operation for appendicitis. William Meehan, from the Pub&t Service Speakers' Bureau of Illinois, gave an interesting talk before tile physics class of the McHenry comnmnity high school last Thursday. His subject was "Electricity." His talk was highly interesting and instructive and needless to ssy much enjoyed by the pupils. The annual McHenry high school alumni banquet will take place at Justen's hotel jiext Saturday evening, May 81, starting at seven o'clock. Two hundred invitations to the affair have been sent out and it is, expected that 150 will respond. Richard B. Walsh, of the class of D4» will act as toastmaster. The McHenry Baseball dob wffl travel to Algonquin tomorrow (Friday), where they will meet the faajt Algonquin Indians. These two clubs staged two exciting games here last year and the fans are promised asother real battle tomorrow. Carroll will probably do the pithing for the McHenry club with Kingsley at the receiving end. Once more the members of the Mb* Henry council, Knights of CoIumbttS, - are reminded of the memorial mass to be read by their chaplain, Rev. Wm. Weber, at St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg tomorrow (Friday) morning at nine o'clock. The officers of the council sincerely hope that there will be a good turnout Of Knights. The mass is to be read far the members, both dead and living. Considerable building is again under progress along the Fox river in the McHenry territory. A number of , homes are now under construction In the John A. Miller subdivision near the Johnsburg bridge, while homee are also under construction in the Fred Huemann subdivision on the east shore of the river just north of Dr. Carl Strueh's sanatarium, as also OB the west shore north of the Johnsburg bridge. It is expected that scores of new summer homes will be built along our beautiful stream during the present season. Next Sunday afternoon the Mfe-* Henry team will tackle the Burling-* ton. Wis., outfit on the McHenry diamond. These two teams met in several hot contests last season and is view of the fact that all of their games resulted in close scores it looks as if the fans are certain of seeing a real game when these two clubs meet again. The Badger state lads hate already defeated the State Line Md Wilmot clubs this season and euming to McHenry confident that they will be able to hand the locals their season's first set-back. Neither team has been defeated thus far this V 'M'
