WATCH FOR COUNTERFEIT MONEY „ Several MeHenry merchants have been the victims of a gang of counterfeiters who seem to be working through this section of the country. ^Jasohne stations and taverns are the toost likely places where these bills <«re passed. Descriptions of the bills detected in MeHenry in the past week . Are given here: , Ten Dollar Federal Reserve Note .'•.Number E0906100A Federal Reserve -District Two with figures two i«, each : torher of the face of the bill, having ffie ftamF'"E" of the Richmond Federal Reserve District in the left center of the face of the bill. The Richmond District is number five wht'o the number two district is New York and should bear the stamp of the .New York District containing the tetter "B" on. the left center of the ' -jface. The paper is also different from r the national bank note species and has no silk threads interwoven. The num- '""flers on these bills may: differ but the front and back plate numbers are A25 and 274 respectively. Five Dollar United States Note number B49354818A with front plate dumber "H 616 and rear plate 140. This Hote is of poor workmanship and. •shouJd readily be detected. The engraving job is very smudgy on both face and back, but otherwise the bill if very like a genuine specimen.

Diets' Stable^ Lightning, which was severe' in Lake county, struck and burned the Dietz Stables, a dance hall, and routed 500 patrons who were amusing themselves in the resort just west of Mundelein. A panic among the dancers was quieted by the dance orchestra, which continued to play until it was forced from the two-story building by the flames. The Dietz Stables have been operated as a reSort for years by Louis Dietz end on SaturcjAy night there was an unusually «kfge attendance at the dance. As the wind frojn the nort'i ftruck there came also a bolt of lightning which ignited the roof.

The loss was estimated at $75,000. ' With the added rainfall of Monday, a definite break in the drouth has been heralded and the outlook of the farmers has been changed during the last few days. The rain came as a lifesaver to starving livestock and gave assurance that corn may yet be harvested in normal quantities this year. Pastures Are Better Pastures' have started to grow and within the next two weeks may be sufficient to abolish the necessity for feeding shipped-in hay to cattle and other stock. With additional rain, it issaitfT farmers should yet be able^tffobtain an adequate stock feed supply for next winter, a hope which hatfoeen practically abandoned as a result of the long drouth. "" Barley and oats in most cases, are too far gone to be helped by the rain. Alfalfa and clover which have already been cut for the first time will turn green and grow again within a few days as a result of the rain and a good second cutting should be obtained with a fair amount of rain later. The rain has made conditions ideal for planting soy beans, sudan grass and late corn in fields ruined by the drouth. • -v - Successive rains on Monday, beginning in the morning and lasting until late afternoon, was one of the heaviest rainfalls recorded in this locality since ]act October^ Streams that have been dry since early in Miay arre^running again and it was reported^ that Tyler Creek near Elgin is filled nearly to the banks again.

' According to R. E. Johnson, the lightning causes dead bodies in the water to rise to the surface and it „ ' *jured inj^jp(ccident on Nov. 13, 1932, while on anunting trip. The accident resulted when Kupz discharged « shot gun in the roadbed while all of them w~ere standing around in a circle. Leaden .pellets from the discharge if the gun rebounded from the road causing the loss of both eyesi to Raymond and one eye to Leonard. Kunz was arrested 'following the accident and held in jail for some time as it was first believed that Raymond would not survive the accident. Later he was released and criminal action dropped. Following this, two damage suits were filed against Kunz. , A jury in Uj^-cifcuit court in April 1933 returned a: verdict in favor if Leonard. ftfesday the defendant, Kunz, failed to appear in court and was not even represented., A'default judgment was ordered by the court as Kunz had been notified the case would come up for trial on Tuesday. Although the two brothers- have judgments amounting to $13,500 against Kunz the general belief is that the judgments are worjfhles^ due to the fact that Kunz has Ino money or property. • \ \ t .. - , • 4 the circuiTi!^ ;b-vs , " body aftd GOOD FISHING AT >ISTAKE®-: According to "Rudolph Johnsom of Bald Knob, the fishing at Pistakee Lake is' better than1*' it has been for fifteen years and some fine basS are being caught.
