A large number of our Modern Woodmen and Royal Neighbors as well as others not members of these two societies are over at the fair grounds at Woodstock today (Thursday) attending the first annual county picnic of these two societies. Our baseball team is also playing the Woodstock nine for a $100 prise. Dr. W. C. Besley, dentist, of Woodstock has just invested in a summer home at Lake Geneva, Wis., where the family, no doubt, will find much enjoyment during the balance of this and coming seasons. Dr. Besley is an old McHenry boy and his many friends thruout the village and community will, no doubt, be pleased to receive this bit of news. Sidney Smith, the famous Chicago Tribune cartoonist, and whose rammer home is located at Howell's Villa, north of this village, was a recent visitor at the Terr.# Cotta factory, where he displaced r. jj^rticular interest in the pottery department, and before leaving purchased a number of garden vases, which now adorn his premises here. ^ A Johnsburg young lady reported the loss of her purse containing $35 in money at one of our river resorts last Sunday evening. A suspect was fallowed to Woodstock, where he was stopped by Sheriff Stewart and later examined by State's Attorney Lumley. For reasons we are withholding the name of-the victim, the place where the pocket book was stolen as well as the young man implicated. The 173-acre farm, owned by the late Fred Powers and located a short distance north of Crystal Lake, was sold at a chancery sale at the court house at Woodstock last Saturday The sale price of the farm was $173, with Atty.

One of our Chicago resorters informs us that passengers getting off the trains at Clybourn Junction, especially on Sunday evenings, will do well to be on the lookout for thieves, or 'dips" as they are ratore commonly known. From two to four of these light fingered lads operate in the vicinity of this station every Sunday evening. The Chicago police department lias been notified, hut t® «o avail. A motorcycle cop inaue his appearance in the village last Thursday afternoon and stopped quite a number of machines to warn the drivers against law violations. Some of the drivers were warned against fast driving, while others were told to supply themselves with license plates and chauffeur licenses.
