Frank Shrosbree, also of Chicago, was walking along the sKore line and saw Herda rowing back and forth as if watching for game; Suddenly the boat dashed away from Shrosbree's view. As he walked back he failed to see him, but sart an oar sticking up out of the water. Procuring another fcoat he rushed out to the spot and there found Herda with his head foremost in the water, his left foot having caught in one of the patent oar Jocks, while the boat was half filled with water. Before others could reach the spot Shrosbree had managed to get Herda's head out of the #ater and he later declared that while the face had turned purple he felt signs of life in the man's pulse. He was hurriedly brought to shore, where a lungmotor was used, and altho strenuous efforts were made he could not be revived. The body was then removed to the village hall at Fox Lake. Undertaker Jacob Justen of this village was called to take charge of the body. Herda was a very heavy set man and. the feeling prevails that he probably was leaning to one side of the boat when he lost his balance and fell overboard in such a manner as to have his foot caught as described above. He was a married man and leaves a wife and four children. The body was shipped to Chicago late Saturday night.

An alleged shortage of $3,100 in the books of the Woodstock Typewriter company Tuesday resulted in the indictment by the McHenry county grand jury of Mrs. Gertrude Bohardt, for ten years one of the company's chief bookkeepers. She is charged with embezzlement. On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Bohardt, who is the wife of Fred Bohardt, also an employe of the typewriter company, surrendered to State's Attorney S. Lumiey. Shortly afterward she was released under $3,000 bonds, pending the fixing of the date for a hearing. Mrs. Bohardt has retained Attorney Paul J. Donovan of Harvard and Attorney Rupert Donovan of Woodstock. - ^ According to Attorney Lumiey, Mfs. Bohardt substituted checks, endorsed by herself, for currency, in making out bank deposits. As p part of her work, she made up the daily bank deposit. ' There was nothing irregular with the bank deposit slip," explained the county prosecutor. "The alleged shortage was discovered by auditors employed -by the company last May. In June Mrs. Bohardt resigned her position.** According to Attorney Lumiey, suspicion pointed toward Mrs. Bohardt shortly after the investigation was started. Her salary at the factory was $22.50 a week. She drives an automobile and is reported to have completely refurnished her home. Her husband is still in the employ of the company. I understood a few days ago that Mrs. JBohardt had made a complete confession," said Mr. Lumiey.
