Freund probably received the finest valentine that they will ever live to enjoy when on last Saturday the stork left at their home on Main sreet, a fine baby girl. Walter, says that the added responsibilities will not interfere with service in his tire shop. Washington's birthday this year will occur on Sunday and as has been the custom with banks, the observance will take place the following day. Thus patrons of the two MeHenry banks should bear in mind that these institutions will be closed all day Monday. Old Glory should also be flown on that day. Just about the time that everyone was set to welcome the arrival of spring, Old Man Winter had to butt in and spoil it all. On Sunday, one of the finest we have experienced in some weeks, it looked like spring was surely here. Automobiles were more numerous than in many a week. However, that night a heavy snow storm blew up and the following morning found most of us digging our way out. Chas. L. Newman, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Newman of this city and recently an employee of the Western Roofing Co. in Chicago, suffered a very painful accident in that city last Thursday. He was at work on a two story building when, in some manner he lost his balance and fell to the ground below, tearing the ligaments in his right leg so severely that the injury will lay him up for at least two months. County Treasurer Roy J. Stewart, and his assistants have been busily engaged thus far this week in preparing and mailing the tax notices.

Klein received the consolations. Dainty refreshments served by the hostess closed a most enjoyable evening. The two basket ball teams of the MeHenry Community high schocfl will travel to Huntley next Saturday evening where they wiH meet the two teams representing the local schools. These teams met on the MeHenry gym floor early in the season at which time the visitors put up a lively scrap and made MeHenry go some to win. MeHenry expects to engage in two hard tussles when the teams meet again next Saturday night. The last of a series of dances before Lent at the Solon Mills opera' house will take place "there on Tuesday evening of next week, Feb. 24.

Don't forget to call on Wm. G. Schreiner, phone 93-R, when you get that new car, for insurance in the best of companies. MeHenry, 111. Miss Lona Wadsworth of Kenosha and John H. Brefeld of Waukegan spent Sunday as guests in the home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Brefeld. Vincent Muellenback, Philip May and Fred Loecher are here from Adams, Minn., and will spend the summer in this vicinity providing they are successful in securing work. Math. Huemann of Stacyville, la., is spending a few days as the guest of relatives in and around MeHenry. He accompanied a carload of cattle to the Chicago market the first of the week land took the opportunity of coming hernia# * short vtlftfc. and Bay. It is also believed that they are responsible for the burning of a beautiful summer home owned by Dr. Krueger and which was located on what is known as "Meyer's Bay" on the southwest shore of Pistakee. This beautiful home, together with its luxurious furnishings, was totally destroyed some time during last Thursday night. Just what time the fire occurred cannot be ascertained as the loss was not discovered until the following morning. The loss is estimated between $6,000 and $8,000. That the trio visited the Krueger cottage has been definitely established from tire tracks found there the following morning. The tracks correspond identically with the tires on the trio's car. Further investigation reveals that the car was stolen in Chicago at about 2:00 o'clock last Monday afternoon and was the property of August Rosenthal, a garage owner of that city. Herman Schaefer, manager of the East Side Service station located riSar the approach of the Fox river bridge here, also told officials that the car had stopped at his place for gasoline practically every day last week. The car, at various times, was also seen in this city. The cottages entered during the week are located along the east shore of Fox river, what is more commonly known as Emerald Park, along the Diedrich subdivision, also on the east shore of the stream but located north of the bridge, along the mouth of the river, at Pistakee Lake, near Bald Knox, on the west end of Pistakee Bay and along Meyer's Bay and Palm Beach. There may have been others entered. Entrances to the summer homes in all instances were obtained by either jimmying or breaking the windows and while only the things that were more readily saleable were taken, the loss in the aggregate will probably amount to $2,000 or more. One of the heaviest losers, so far as has been ascertained, is Nicholas Mueller, whose summer home is located at Palm Beach. Here a number of articles of value were taken. The three men under arrest gave there names as Clarence Hicks, 24; his brother, Elmer Hicks, 22; both married men, and William Harper, 19. It has been discovered since that Harper's real name is Tom Leroy who bns a jail record and has been out on parole, having been convicted with being mixed up in the theft of at least si" automobiles. They appeared quite sui prised to learn that they were in Mc Henry county and that the getting of bondsmen in this county could not be accomplished quite as easily as in Cook county where characters of this calibre are about as common as fleas on a dog. Since their apprehension an effort is also being made to connect the trio with the robberies at the L. A. Erickson store and the American Express office which occurred here only a short time ago. Some of those who have seen the car in this vicinity during the past week are also of the opinion that on one or two occasions the machine carried four men which has started a rumor that one of the four may have showed signs of "squealing" and that he may have been killed and thrown into the Krueger cottage while the structure was burning. Officer Jack Walsh lays very little credence in this report, however, and while a full investigation will be made, it is not believed that any evidence will be found to verify this report. This is one case where a local woman played a very important part in the apprehension of robbers and Mrs. Berkircher is surely to be commended for her presence of mind. First for securing the license number and next her prompt report to Officer Walsh. While the MeHenry police official is also deserving of credit for the good work accomplished he insists that Mrs. Berkircher comes first in this particular case and has commended her very highly upon the good and prompt service rendered. * Since the above has been put into print, Mrs. Berkircher, informs us that credit for the securing of the license number really belongs to "Sunny" Kirk, grandson of Jas. Haxton, whose" cottage is located next to the one entered. This young man secured and gave Mrs. Berkircher the license number while the latter was preparing her car for the trip to this city. Last reports from the county seat are to the effect that the men under arrest are unwilling to talk but it is the belief that they will admit^ their guilt within the course of time. Their cases will come up at the next, term of court and until then they will probably remain in the MeHenry county jail as the chances of obtaining bondsmen in this county are quite vague.
