D. Wentworth of this place, met a most tragic death at Rockford early last Sunday evening, when an auto in'which she was riding crashed into a street car. Raymond Franz, aged thirty-one, also tost his life. Miss Wentworth was one of BelVidere's most popular young ladies. She was pinned beneath the automobile and killed instantly. Mr. Franz died a few minutes after the accident. Miss Esther Streeter, also of Belvidere, received lacerations on her head and injuries. to her abdomen. Mrs. Frank Molander 6f Rock'ford received severe body wounds. Others in the automobile at the time of the crash were Harry. Lucas, the driver, and Frank Molander. They were badly shaken up. TV more seriously injured were taken to St. Anthony's hospital. x The automobile had left Belvidere late in the afternoon for Rockford, where the party was to have attended theatre performance. They were driving down State street, near the business district, behind a west bound The street car stopped to take on passengers and Lucas, unable to grab the emergency brake or step on the foot brake on account of a heavy robe, which covered the occupants in the front car, swerved the wheel to the left and'right into the path of an approaching east bound ear. The car struck the rear end of die automobile, turning it over and completely wrecking it. - Miss Wentworth, one of ths unfortunate victims of this sad tragedy, was well known to a number of our young people, as she has visited in the Wentworth home here at intervals for several years past. "Comrades In Peril" You must have read some of Randall Parrish's stirring western tales and you no doubt liked them, because he is one of the leading American writers of fiction and deals with the west'from a long period of personal experience. "Comrades of Peril," one of his recently published novels, will be reproduced as a serial in this paper. It has the real spirit of western adventure, introduces an unusual hero and heroine and contains all the dash and thrill for which its author's books are celebrated. Watch for it! N. H.

Held Five Meetings la Megeary Qpunty Last Week Fibre meetings of Holstein breeders were helfl in McHenry county last week to arouse interest in better black and white cattle and get the backing of the breeders of this county for the Illinois Holstein-Freisian association On Wednesday afternoon of last week a meeting was held at Harvard and another was held at Woodstock in the evening. Thursday the proposition was put up to a group at Solon Mills in the morning. Afternoon and evening meetings were held at Hebron and Crystal Lake. A number of breeders signed up to back the association on a three year membership basis. Among the speakers who addressed the five meetings were R. C. Pollock, extension man for the National Holstein- F reisian association; W. E. Watkins/ county advisor of Lake county, 111.; R. E. Caldwell, formerly of Purdue University, and George Fox, president of the Illinois association. Breeders of black and white cattle in Illinois have an investment of about six million dollars in pure bred cattle and haven't spent a cent collectively in advertising those cattle, according to R. C. Pollock. One of the things that a state association can do is to direct out of the state buyers to the men who have cattle for sale. . Mr. Pollock told of the work that is being done by other state associations. He showed ^iow these organizations, by keeping one or more secretaries in the field, can aid in putting on sales' and can keep the best cattle in the state before the public. He showed that these stajbe associations benefit the small breeders and the grade men as well as the large breeders. James Tupper of Woodstock, member of 'the board of directors of the Illinois association from this district, had charge of the McHenry county meetings. Population of Orphanage Increases The population of the Christian Home Orphanage, located at Council Bluffs, la., has steadily increased since January 1 in spite of the fact that more children hive been placed for adoption in private families than ever before in a similar period of time. This institution is known nationally and for nearly forty years has been a haven for homeless and destitute children and aged, dependent women. It has a daily average of 250 inmates to provide for. It is non-sectarian, has no endowment, employs no agents, but is supported entirely by the voluntary contributions of charitable people from all parts of the country. The orphanage is endeavoring to raise £unds at Thanksgiving to enable it to properly carry on its humane efforts. A Thanksgiving donation from you to this worthy work will help provide for some homeless child. Address, The Christian Home Orphanage, Council Bluffs, Iowa. CHAMPli |Sd«rard Graham Masses £way Home at L*ke at Edward Graham* worid famous trap shooter, rega d%Cades~~as the most skillful, -shot in America, a man only close rival was his brothe|, Jay Graham, who won the national handicap trap sht .'t at Stockholm, Sweden, six years a;.- , thereby establishing the record of being the only American ever to carry off this honor, passed away at his Long Lake home in Lake county Saturday morning at four o'clock, death following a lingering illness of two years. His condition during the last few weeks had been such that relatives and friends realized that the end was not far away. ' The deceased was a brother of Thomas Graham, Democratic state representative from the eighth senatorial district;. For years the Graham brothers, Jay, Edward, Thomas, Patrick a{ul John, have resided on a large undivided farm at Long Lake. Mr. Graham was sixty-five years old and had lived at Long Lake all of his life. He never married.* His parents are dead, but he leaves these brothers and sisters: Anna, who kept house for him; John, Tom, Kate Renehan, Pat and Jay. Funeral was held, from St. Patrick's church in this village Tuesday morning and he was laid at rest in the cemetery adjoining. Ever since he was able to tote a gun Ed. Graham gave promise of be-, ing a crack shot. As he grew to manhood his skill increased and he gradually drifted into the career of a pro* fessional trap shooter. He had followed this profession for forty years or more. His younger brother, Jay Graham, also developed into a crack shot, the two of them becoming known as the most expert shots in the country. Edward Graham .has competed in trap shoots in every state in the union and has won honors wherever he has gone. He also carried off prizes in Canada and South America. No trap shooter in America is so generally known. During the last two ye$rs failing in health prevented Mr. Graham from following his profession. f The trio of brothers stand out conspicuously thruout the country as marksmen. Probably no family in the United States ever produced three such, experts along a given line as were, the Grahams. The three could go out into any shooting contest and carry off all or part of the honors. And thus the trio is broken for the first time by the death. It was forty years ago this month that County Judge Charles P. Barnes of Woodstock tried his first case in McHenry county. The case was heard before a justice of the peace at Crystal Lake. However, the popular judge did not locate in McHenry county until the following spring, 1841. Bleeds to . til., wat Art and bleed to death * could save his life on of this week.

Skipper of Waukegan, had just-jtfcrtgd out to hunt rabbits on a farm near Sand Cake, Lake county, when Mr. Skipper's gun accidentally exploded, with the result that the full clMUpg* lodged in Miller's knee. Doctors from Millburn, Antioch and Waukegan arrived on the scene, but too late to save Die man's life. First Woman Jary 1 ' \ The first woman jury to serv* In McHenry county appeared in Judge Barnes' court at Woodstock last Thursday morning. The case was that of Mrs. Laura Goff, aged eighty, of Crystal Lake. The jur^r, after a brief conference, found the woman incompetent to judiciously handle her property affairs and upon their verdict the court appointed Mrs. Laura Brante, a granddaughter, also of Crystal Lake, as conservator.
