Perch are still biting in the vicinity of the Fox river dam, where local anglers have made some very nice catches during the past several weeks. Now that the automobile traffic is once more on the increase, wouldn't it lie a good plan for all of us to pay a trifle more heed tothe traffic posts about town ? The body of George Schreiner, who died of pneumonia while in service in France, is expected to arrive in McHenry shortly. All of the papers have been signed and forwarded to the proper authorities. From present appearances the manager of. the Wilbur Lumber company, together with his clerical assistants, will have one of the most ideal offices to be found in McHenry when the present alterations now in progress are completed. Henry Antholtz, who has been employed on the C. & N. W. section here for several years past, was recently appointed foreman of that body and~ he has already succeeded Fred Voeltz. Mr. Voeltz is now watchman, at the Waukegan street crossing. Very good progress is being made in the work of razing the old Schneider block on the West Side, which was recently purchased by Messrs. R. B. Walsh and M. A. Thelen. The building is being wrecked in" order to make room for a new garage building, which is to go up on the site this summer. The responsibilities of C. G. Burkhartsmeier of Chicago have been considerably enhanced since the arrival of a bright, bouncing baby boy at St. Joseph's hospital in that city last Friday. The mother was formerly Miss Laura Barbian of this village. Their friends extend congratulations. Our readers enjoyed a good joke at our expense last week, when in an item we referred to M. A. Thelen as conducting a barber shop when it should have read a harness establishment We are only human and therefore are subject to mistakes. The error, while unintentional, even caused us a smile. McHenry friends of Miss Ruth Bacon of this village, who is now teaching school at Merinette, Wis., recognized her picture in last Friday morning's Chicago Tribune as an entrant in the beauty contest which is now being conducted by that paper. Miss Bacon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bacon of this village. The store building on Water street, owned by Mrs. Peter Rothermel, is undergoing quite extensive improve ments. The stairway on the north side of the building has been removed, while the entire building is to be repainted. We understand that the place has been rented and will be used for restaurant purposes this summer, i Chas. Bechtel, a former resident, -was in town the first of the week, shaking hands with friends and look- . injg after his interests here. Mr. Bechtel last year purchased a lot in the Edgewater Beach addition to Mc- . Henry, where he hopes to erect a summer home this year. His lot ad- ; joins that on which J. C. Holly Is now i having a cottage erected. A telephone message received here'on Tuesday morning of this week bore the sad news of the death of Mrs. M. B. Wilkins,. who passed away at Syracuse, N. Y. Burial will be in Oakland cemetery, Chicago. The family, a few years ago, made their home at Orchard Beach, on the west shore of Fox river, a short distance north of this village, where they owned a cottage. A card from Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Burkhartsmeier of Chicago informs us that they are now occupying their cozy, new bungalow at 4939 N. Ridgeway Ave., which was completed for them only a short time ago. McHENBY'S miwmmm ^ < w • ' {v.

Ifonday by Deputy Sheriff Charles Wandrack, she was locked up in Maribella's shack when he went out to kill Forbish. She heard* the shot and a minute later, she alleges, Maribella returned and ordered her to get out «f Harvard. "I was walking down the railroad tracks with Forbish when we first saw Maribella," M^r. Marz told State's Attorney Lumley. "I had made a date to meet him at the depot in Harvard at seven o'clock Friday night. He Was not there and later in the evening I met Forbish. The shooting occurred about ten o'clock." After being freed from Maribella's shack, a railroad freight car, Mrs. Marz attempted to telegraph her husband in Chicago. She could not, however, pay for the message and the clerk refused to take it. She then returned to the depot and asked per- 'ihission to spend the night there. The night clerk then made arrangements for her to stay at the Noble hotel. She left for Chicago on the 6:30 o'clock train Saturday morning. A postmortem examination revealed that five of eleven Vackshots which struck Forbish went thru his body. Death was instantaneous. w... The shooting of Forbish occurred in the southeast section of Harvard, known as the {'Italian village." Maribella is said to have toid fellow countrymen, employed at the roundhouse, that he killed the contractor. He then made his eaeape on 'i 12 o'clock train. « ADDITIONAL PERSONAL John R.

III.. Body Femd Near Pickle Factory Last . • Saturday , : Rivalry for a woman's lent il, believed to have been responsible for the murder of Walter Forbish, Harvard contractor, whose body, riddled with buckshot, was found in an alley adjoining the Harvard pickle factory late Saturday. McHenry county authorities, investivating the shooting, ordered the arest of two Italian- families said to have been witnesses- of the murder. Forbish is believe^ to have been killed while he was in the company of a Chicago woman, who reached Harvard at 9:40 o'clock Friday night. His assailant attacked him from behind, firing a charge of buckshot into his back. The name of a fourth party believed to have been implicated in the killing was given to State's Attorney Lumley and he was being hunted for in Chicago the last of the Week. Location of the man, the county prosecutor said, would clear up the mystery. Pending outcome of the search in Chicago, announcement was made that the Harvard man suspected as the murderer will be kept under constant watcfy. > "I have just ordered the arrest of two Italian families who make their home in a railroad car on a Chicago & Northwestern siding near the pickle factory," said Lumley. "I have information that they heard the shot fired and saw the murderer escape. They will be held pending the result of the inquest held by Coroner Windmueller." Forbish's body was discovered by Robert Milligan of Harvard as he was walking to his work at the roundhouse. It was lying face downward in an unused alley between the pickle factory and Carl Barlow's coal office. The murdered man w.is last seen alive by Elmer Saunders at 9:45 o'clock Friday night. At that time Forbish was at the Chicago & Northwestern depot at Harvard. ^ Harvard officials, who were being assisted in the investigation by Deputy Sheriff Charles Wandrack, refused to divulge either the name of the woman or the man under suspicion. The woman, it is said, resides in Chicago, but has been a frequent visitor at the McHenry county city. It is known that both Forbish and the alleged suspect were rivals for her hand. A resident of Harvard all his life, Forbish, who was thirty years old, was well known thruout northern McHenry county. He worked as a carpenter and cement contractor. Forbish lived alone at Harvard. A sister, Miss Irma Forbish, is employed as a stenographer in the office of the Hunt, Helm & Ferris plant in that city, while a brother, Arthur Forbish, is a cleVk in the Harvard postoffice. The murdered, man's mother is making her home ih a Wisconsin fcejim 300 miles north of Harvard.
