West McHenry, I1L TOWN TEAM TAKES ANQ7KER Lane Techs Go Down Before Fast Local Quintet At the high school gymnasium last Saturday evening the town basket bail team handed a team from the Lane Technical school in Chicago a 49 to 28 trimming. The Chicago team put up the gam- est fight that has been waged against the home quintet on the home floor this season. The first half of the contest proved highly exciting and ended with the home squad leading by only a few points. In the second half, however, Mc­ Henry seemed to come into its own, Robison and Frett shooting the ball thru the wicket with such marked regularity that the Chicagoans were soon out-distanced. Miller's place at center was very creditably filled by Leonard Frett, who put up one of the best games that he has shown thus far this season. Robison,, as usual, proved the lead­ ing point maker for the home outfit, he getting credit for twenty of the points registered by the locals, while Frett ran him a close second with nineteen points. The line-ups and scores follow: . Chicago (28) McHenry (49) Halvorsen L. F. Robison Baker R. F. Reihansperger Gross C. Frett Connley L. G. A. Justen Unison R. G. F.

Wauconda Scares Our Boys The Wauconda high school team threw an awful scare into the camp of the followers of the local team at Wauconda on Wednesday evening of last week, when our boys succeeded in nosing out the fast little team of that village by a score of 28 to 25. The game was close and interest­ ing thruout and the fans present had the time of their lives in rooting for their favorite athletes. McHenry was leading at the end of the first half, but Wauconda came back strong in the second and for a time it looked as if our boys would surely go down. During the last few minutes -of play Meyers was substituted for Hunter and this proved the breaking point of the contest, Meyers putting in the two ringers that brought the game out of the fire. Wauconda has a cracking good, lit­ tle high school team and one of which the citizens of that village have every easonto feel proud. They have been going fine all season and. tried hard to administer to the McHenry boys their season's fii-st defeat. The line-ups and scores: McHenry (28) Wauconda (25) Robison L. F. E.

Playing at the Rockford tournament last week the McHenry high school basket ball team made a very respec­ table showing against the seasoned teams represented there. The locals played their first game last Friday morning with the Peca- tonica tean\ as their opponents. The game was close and hard fought thruout, both teams putting up a fine article of ball. In speaking, of the game the Rockford Register-Gazette had the following to say: "In the morning's roun$ McHenry eliminated Pecatonica after a hard fought game, 21 to 17. At half time the score was a tie 11 to 11, but Mc­ Henry gradually drew away during the second half, as the result of clever basket shooting by Frett at center. The Winnebago county boys fought hard and did not succumb withoiit a struggle." The line-ups and scores follow: McHenry (21) Q Pecatonica (17) C. Frett : fk F. Erlandson Barbian R. F. Owens L.

Lose to Harlem , On Saturday morning our boys met the fast Harlem team and went down to an easy defeat, the score being 38 to 16. Our boys, in spite of the odds against them, put up a very credit­ able game and fought their opponents up to the very last. Wiegert, playing at forward for Harlem, played a wonderful game, his accuracy at shooting baskets was next to marvelous, while his general all-round playing was without fault. He is credited with making 22 of the 28 points registered by his team. McHenry played hard and did well to hold Harlem down to the respec­ table loking score that they did. The linemps and scores follow: McHenry (16) Harlem (38) Barbian R. F. Wiegert C. Frett L. F. Schoonmaker L. Frett C. Short Buss R. G. Schoonmaker Hunter L. G. Ten Eyck Baskets: . Barbian, 1; C.

Reti Cross Notes Five new names were added to our membership roll last week. Splendid returns from the sock yarn given out at the previous meet­ ing. More cutters are needed. The new patterns reqUire more time. Mrs. J. E. Wheeler's home cutting is very commendable as well as her faithful services on Friday afternoons. A meeting of the various commit­ tees, who have been soliciting for home charities in the Needlework Guild, instituted in this village by Mrs. D. G. Wells, will be called imme­ diately after the work of the Red Cross tomorrow afternoon. The committee composed of the ocal telephone girls, with Miss Lena Stoffel as chairman, disposed of 200 numbers at 10c each in one week. The raffle took place at the Red Cross rooms and the lamp was won by Mrs. Casper Bickler, No. 41 being the lucky number. The committee was excused with much appreciation of their en­ thusiasm. The chairman also gave over to the secretary a/check for $26.76, do­ nated with pleasure by the pupils and faculty of the public school. This was one-half or the receipts of the enter­ tainment given last week. They will accept the sincere thanks of the chap­ ter for their generosity and hearty co-operation. A vote of thanks was placed on the minutes of the meeting. SL Mary's Church Notes St. Mary's school is running in full earnestness, making up for vacation days during the winter. The attend­ ance is splendid. St. Mary's church choir is. prepar- ng two beautiful new masses, one of which will be rendered on Easter Sunday. Rehearsals begin every Tues­ day night promptly af 7:30. The service flag of St. Mary's church, much improved with silk fringe and cords, now contains twen­ ty-one stars. The latest acquisitions represent Paul Barbian and John M. Freund. The altar boys of St. Mary's church are preparing a patriotic and dramatic entertainment, which was to have been given Washington's birthday. Since that date could not be had, the show will be staged Easter Monday. It promises to surpass everything the children have given. The enthusiasm which the boys are exhibiting during rehearsals makes its success unques- tionable. Executor's Notice F. B. Bennett, Atfcy. Estate of Thomas Thompson, De­ ceased.

DEATH OF JAMES FRYER father of Mrs. J. F. Claxton Dies In West [Times-Record, Doland, S. D.] James Fryer was born at Nursted, Cent, near Gravesend, England, on November 20, 1830, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edw. Lea, n Harrison township Feb. 13, 1918. At the age of twenty-five he was married to Miss Julia Down and with Mr. Fryer's father and mother came to America, settling at Rome, New York, where he worked by the day or month until enough money was saved to start farming for himself, at which he was very successful. Ten children were born in New York, two of whom died in infancy. Two were born in Illinois. In the spring of 1872 Mr. Fryer, be- ieving he could do better by going west, moved his family to Rochester, Minn. This was a new country and did not suit him as he had been ac­ customed to living in an old settled Country. He then moved to McHenry, Illinois, where many of his old New York neighbors were living. This change suited him better and they re­ mained there until the spring of 1885. At this time, with the family still re­ maining at home, he moved to the present home in Harrison township, near Doland. Mr. Fryer was always considered a good farmer wherever he lived and was known as "Honest Jimmy," always believing that hon­ esty is the best policy. Mrs. Fryer departed this life Nov. 6, 1894, six years after coming to Dakota territory. One daughter, Julia Fryer Page, died at McHenry 111., May 10, 1901. Th# surviving children are Mrs. John Claxton of McHenry. 111.; E. T., George, A. R., Mrs, Wood, Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs. Lea near Do­ land, S. D., Frank of Brookings and Howard of Aberdeen. The remains were laid to rest be­ side those of his wife in the Irving cemetery, where many of his old neighbors art now sleeping. The children were all present at the fu­ neral except Mrs. Claxton a.nd JS« T-» who with his wife are in Alabama. John W. Bonslett has moved his family from the Zens house on Broad street to the Searles house on Elm street^ now owned by Jacob Schneider.
