Charles Nix of Virgil, IB, Cemea to McHenry Rev. Charles Nix of Virgil, HI., is the new pastor at St. Mary's church in this village, succeeding Rev. Edward Berthold, who has been in charge here during the past seven years. Rev. Berthold announced his successor at the 7:00 as\well 10:16 masses last Sunday horning and while the name of Sis successor came as a surprise to some others had really been prepared as Father Nix's name has frequently been mentioned in connection with the McHenry parish during the past several months,. Father Nix, who officially taker; charge of the McHenry parish this week, was born and raised in Indiana. After his ordination into the priest hood he was sent to Chicago, where he served as assistant pastor for some years.

No objectors having appeared at a public hearing, a resolution was last week adopted at Crystal Lake authorizing the extension of the sewerage system in the north end of that city. The extension will cost $16,200; or approximately $161 per lot.

Should the request be granted the extra cost will be borne by the property owners. A petition, bearing 200 signatures and asking that a stretch of land abutting the east of the lake be purchased as a park site, has been presented to and accepted by the city council at Crystal Lake.

Freund, tenant on the Johnson farm on, the (Crystal Lake road south of this village, was stolen from in front of St. Mary's church during the 10:15 mass last Sunday morning. The owner, with his family, had driven to town jto attend the late mass at St. Mary's and when he went to get his machine after the services he found that it Was missing. The car was equipped with a Dexter lock wheel, but the owner forgot to pull out the key, and this made it an easy matter for those responsible for the theft to get away with the machine., Officers Walsh and Knox of this village were at once notified of the theft and within a very few minutes the telephone had done its work in notifying neighboring town officials to be on the lookout. *_ Just a short time before being T^toining to same are Golf notified of the theft of the local car, Officer Walsh had received a telephone message from Harvard to be on the lookout for a Ford car that had been stolen in that city that morning, and the general opinion seems to be that the two thefts were committed by the same people. Mr. Freund's car was recovered on the road between Fremont Center and Ivanhoe, Lake county, on Monday afternoon, Officer Walsh and the owner driving out there that afternoon to bring the car back to McHenry. Inquiry among farmers residing in that neighborhood revealed the fact that two Fords arrived in the vicinity Sunday noon. At the time that the cars were first seen one of the two appeared to be in trouble, at least two men were working on same: Neighbors who went out to offer assistance were soon given to understand that their help was not needed In fact, the strangers did very little talking and refused to answer ques tions. The two, after some minutes work, drove away in one car, leaving the Freund car behind. Upon investigation it was found that the motor on the McHenry car had been so badly damaged that it could be driven no further. The car was stripped of one tire and wheel, all of its equipment and some clothing that had been left in same by the owner. The license number and even the dome light had also been removedc The damage and loss is estimated at $100. As far as wo are able to learn the Harvard car has not as yet bean recovered. «EUA" wins Boat"race Formal Organization of New Club Here Next Sunday Formal organization of a new golf club in this village will take phw next Sunday morning, when a meeting for the purpose is to be held at the West McHenry State bank building.
