At that corner they made a turn to the south. Within a few minutes after the robbery, the telephone wires were busy and all the officials in the surrounding cities apprised of the holdup and to be on the lookout for the speeding automobile, in which were the four men and about $20,000 in money. Used (Ihrysler-6 Car The car used by the gang is said to have been a Chrysler-6, although it was first reported to be a Cadillac. The auto was equipped with chains on all four wheels, fully prepared for taking to the side dirt roads instead of going to the cement highways. It bore no license plates and the hood was covered with a piece of burlap, apparently to shield the name plate of the make of the car. Within a very short time Ted Schiessle, G. P. Newman and George Thurwall started in pursuit in Mr. Schiessle's Buick Special racer. They were enabled to gain on the robbers several times but forced to give up the chase at the Bennett schoolhouse, just outside of Lake Zurich, when the pursued car hit the pavement and the tracks of the tread could no longer be followed. At this point Mr. Schiessle .states the robbers stopped and took off their chains, as the marks in the road showed footprints around where the car stood and when the journey was resumed the marks of the chains were missing. Trail Leads Toward Waueonda Mr. Schiessle reports that after leaving West McHenry he and his two companions followed the bandit car across Burton's bridge toward Waueonda. About four miles from that place they turned and crossed back over Rawson's bridge, all the time staying on the dirt roads. At one time the party from West McHenry was within about a quarter of a mile of the speeding car. When near Lake Zurich, as mentioned above, Mr. Schiessle's car hit fresh gravel and an accident was narrowly averted. A speed of 65 miles an hour "was reached at numerous times, the driver of the Buick reports. Mayor F. H. Wattles reports that he walked between the bandits as they were coming from the bank, but they were so clever with their attitude and movements that he did not realize until after the alarm was given that he was within such close proximity to the bold gunmen. The mayor had just come from the West McHenry postoffice a few doors away and was walking eastward past the bank when one of the quartet walked in front of him to the waiting car, while the other one with the grip containing the money leisurely stood in the doorway until after the mayor passed. The amount of the loot obtained in the daylight holdup totaled $18,775.29. Out of the reserve they secured $10,500 in currency, $4,633 in gold and $42 in Canadian money. From the tellers' windows they took $3,598.29. Adequate insurance was carried by the bank to take care of the loss. The institution was insured for $25,000 against daylight holdup and $25,000 against buglary. This amount has since been increased to $30,000 each. Insurance Adjusted The insurance was carried in the Royal Insurance company of America, for which company Stoffel & Reihansperger are the local agents. The loss has been adjusted and the full amount paid over to the bank by the company. Both the local agents and the company they represent are to be commended for the promptness with which the claim was adjusted. After the holdup the business of the bank was suspended until a check could be made on the actual loss. J. W. Worth, certified accountant, was called into service and within a short time he was able to show the exact amount missing from the institution. This took perhaps about a half hour. Without being asked to do so, as soon as the word reached the bankers in Woodstock of the conditions here, representatives from the Woodstock National, American National, State Bank of Woodstock and the Farmers Exchange State bank, started for West McHenry with several thousands of dollars to allow the crippled neigh- Anna Button, Elisabeth Walsh and boring bank to again resume its buai- Mildred Klein. ness.

Bank officials and employees were expected to so to Chicago today to view the rogues' gallery and see if they could identify any of the ones who prepetratcd the robbery. It is believed that the four were members of some of the prangs of bank robbers and if their pictures appear in the identification bureau it will be rather easy for some of the people who were forced to obey their commands to recognize them. The best of detectives are working on the case, in co-operation with the American Bankers' Association, the State Bankers' Association and the County Federation. Even the radio was used to broadcast the report of the holdup within a short time after the quartet made their escape. After making a complete investigation during the past few days, Sheriff Edinger and his deputies announce that they have picked up clues sufficient to satisfy themselves that they now know who the bandits are that perpetrated the holdup last Saturday. Evidence has been secured to estab lish their identity and it is hoped that their hiding place will soon be located Stenger Appreciative Mr. Stenger desires to express appreciation for the splendid support extended by the other banks and for the many kind words extended to him, both personally and in letters.

She was graduated from the McHenry High School June 12, 1912, and became a McHenry county teacher the same year, where, as an instructor of the young, she grasped the thought that "the teacher. is like the candle which lights others in consuming it self."
