Wegener Leave Structure Just Before Crash Guided by the hands of. Providence probably saved the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. J. Wegener, who reside southeast of this village, during the severe electrical storm last Sunday evening. When the storm broke Mr. and Mrs. Wegener were in the barn milking There were bat three more cows to be milked when the first loud thundai bolt was heard. Then there came a second clap. Mr. and Mrs. Wegener left their milking stools and went to the house. Then came the third sharp lightning bolt, followed by a severe crash of thunder. "Better go to the window and see if everything is all right at the barn" requested Mrs. Wegener of her husband. When the husband reached the window he found that the barn had been struck and that the lightning had set fire to the hay in the loft. Owing to the fact that their tele* phone was out of order at the time they were unable to summon help thru tjiis means, but in spite of the heavy Tain a number of the nearby neighbors were on hand to render assistance within a few minutes, but their efforts to save the barn and its contents proved of no avail. Within an hour after the structure had been struck the barn and its contents lay in ruins. The loss consists of three horses, three cows, 25 tons of hay, 25 bushels of wheat, all of the smaller barn tools, machinery, milk wagon, buggy, harness and a Ford totiring car. Only a few pieces of machinery, not quartered in the barn at the time of the fire, were saved. At the time of the writer's visit to the farm on Tuesday afternoon Mr. Wegener had not figured out his loss, but same will run close to $5,000 with very little insurance. The heavy rain which was falling undoubtedly saved the other out-door buildings as well as the house. However, at one time it looked as if the house would surely be destroyed. In fact, so seriously did the flames and flying embers threaten the residence that the volunteer fire fighters started moving out the household effects, which became drenched in the rain. The place is known as , the Henry M. Wegener ffcrm and during the past few years has been worked, by the present tenant. The barn is to be rebuilt immediately. Will Travel to Libertyville Next Sunday the McHenry team will travel to Libertyville, where they will encounter the home team for the third time this season.

HONOR TO SOLDIER BODY OF ROBBRT N. MARTIN LAID AT REST Fell Daring Attack on Hill No/ J4t- Sfcw Active SarvimMbrFfcre Big Battles For the second time within a period of six weeks the people of this community last Sunday afternoon paid their final tribute to a former young man who gave his all during the late world war, the occasion being the military funeral of the late Corp. Robert N. Martin, who was instantly killed by a machine gun bullet daring the battle of the Argonns. Being one of the first volunteers to leave this village after the declaration of war, with Germany as foell as a member of the first division and among the first 50.Q00 to be sent from this country to the battle fields of Europe, the young hero, to whom we paid tribute last Sunday afternoon, probably saw more service and took active part in more battles than any other young man to leave this community during the world conflict Robert Martin volunteered his services to his country on May 7, 1817 about a month after the declaration of war. He enlisted at a recruiting station at 526 S. State street in Chicago and from there was sent to Jefferson barracks, Mo. Here he became attached to the 60th infantry. From Jefferson barracks he was transferred to a camp in Utah, then Texas and then to Gettysburgh, Pa. He left the states for overseas service on Sept. 1, 1917, going as a provisional replacement man, being among the first 50,000 men to leave our shores for foreign service. His serial number was 47,500. Upon his arrival on foreign sh<^es he became attached to Co. H, 18th Inf. 1st division, and he remained with this outfit until killed in action. He saw his first actual service in the fall of 1917, when he served as runner and later on was made corporal. While he was sent to the lines in the fall at 1917 there wasn't much activity along the sector occupied by the first division until the following spring, when the boys of that division took part in all of the big battles. The battle of the Argonne was the fifth in which the deceased had taken part. It was during the attack on Hill 240, which the first division finally succeeded in taking, in which Robert lost his life. Other armies had tAed for weeks to take this particular hill. The first division lost 8,500 men in making the gain. Other battles participated in by our young hero were the Champagne Aisne, St. Mihiel and Meuse. His first burial place was on the battle field where he was killed. In January, 1919, the relatives received word that the body had been buried in the American cemetery and in January, 1920, word was once more received that the body had again been disinterred and reburied in grave No. 13, section 28, plot 2, Argonne American cemetery No. 1232, Romagne sous Montfaucon Meuse. The body arrived in McHenry from Chicago last Friday morning and was first taken to the undertaking establishment of Jacob Justen, where the casket was removed from the rough box, thoroly inspected and then taken to the home of the deceased's sister, Mrs. J. P. Weber, on Riverside Drive, from whence the funeral took place on Sunday afternoon. This body was accompanied to this village by Private Fitzpatrick of Camp Grant, who was later relieved by Private lack Moss of Chicago.' The funeral rites at St. Mary's Catholic church, to which place the remains were first taken, were performed by (the pastor, Rev. Charles Nix, who also rendered an eloquent sermon most fitting 'te soch an occasion. The military part of the funeral ceremonies was ably handled by members of the American Legion post of this village and the Buck Privates of Chicago, the latter being represented by a firing squad and buglar under the command of Sergeant Van, a former member of the 18th infantry. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Considerable trouble was experienced by the Buck Private squad in reaching this village. Oh their arrival at the C. & N. W. depot in Chicago and thru a misunderstanding were directed to the wrong train. The error was* discovered too late. Numerous phone calls between the Buck Privates' office in Chicago and the residence of John K Weber in this village followed in an endeavor to arrange some method of getting the boys here in time for the funeral. It was finally decided that they leave Chicago on the 12:30 p. m. train for Crystal Lake, where they would be met by autos and taken to this village. In the meantime the Chicagoans were losing no time in their endeavor to reach McHenry, calling on various organizations in Chicago for autos. Their efforts were finally rewarded when the Chicago Motor club furnished the necessary conveyances, arriving in McHenry vja.the BORDEN FOREMAN A BENEDICT Union Young Lady Become* Bride of Eraest Kamholz At 5:30 o'clock on Wednesday evening of this week at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church at Union, Iil., occurred Hie marriage of Miss Anna Zekor of that village and Mr. Ernest Kamholz of McHenry, the ceremony having been performed by H.

McHenry friends extend congratulations. Hartford Giants Coming Sept. 18 Dick, Wallace's Hartford Giants, colored, have been booked for McHenry on Sunday, Sept. 18, and the fans are assured of some fun and a rattling good game on that day. Wallace is probably one of the most popular colored players that the game has ever known and has appeared in McHenry on several occasions during the days of the old Sox. Dick is now managing a good baseball club and has sent word to the McHenry management that he is going to bring to McHenry an outfit which will be even better than the old colored stars with whom he made several trips to McHenry in days gone by. The McHenry management is going to advertise this game quite extensively with the hope of bringing out the largest crowd of the present season. Surprise a Member The members of the "Thirteen" club gathered at the home of Mrs. J. C. Holly on Court street last Thursday afternoon, where they tendered her a very pleasant surprise, the event being in honor of her birthday anniversary. Altho taken unawares, the hostess, in her usual hospitable manner, at x>nce made everyone feel welcome and arrangements were soon completed for the playing of five hundred. First honors went to Mrs. G. F. Lindsay. An appropriate gift was presented Mrs. Holly by the members of the club. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served after the card games. A most delightful afternoon was spent by all present. Pistakee Carnival a Success The carnival, given by the Pistakee Young Ladies' Yacht club at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion last Saturday evening, proved the largest and most successful social undertaking ever attempted by the younger social set of that summer resort district. "We have not learned the exact amount of the proceeds, but according to rumors the net returns far exceeded all expectations. The event was highly enjoyed by 'the big crowd in attendance. On Fishing Trip ' „ A party composed of Chas. L. Page, Dr. R. G. Chamberlin, J. E. Pufahl, N. H. Petesch, Atty. A. H. Pouse, Martin B. Schmitt, Chas. J. Reihansperger and W. F. Vogt left McHenry via automobile on Tuesday morning for Eagle River, Wis., where they will spend a week.

While they are away their friends are preparing themselves for some real fish stories.

Band Benefit 14 For A social and dance for the benefit of the McHenry band will be held at the old creamery building, south of Spencer's mill, on Wednesday evening of next week, Sept 14.

Elgin route in time for the funeraL They were dined by the members of the McHenry post of the . American Legion. The funeral was very largely attended and proved the most impressive of the kind ever held ii the county. The weather conditions of last Saturday entirely prevented opening on that day and the outlook was gloomy when the storm broke on Sunday evening, again completely stopping all work, but Monday afternoon and evening the splendid attendance and generosity of the crowd crowned the event beyond the highest, expectations of the most optimistic. , Over three thousand dollars was taken in and, though all bills are fto£ yet accounted for, the sum of two thousand five hundred dollars will be a low estimate of the net amount of: the festival. It was, according to the best information, the most completely successful and satisfying event in local annals. The spirit of the workers and spenders was so splendid that any expression of appreciation would be inadequate. One of the most pleasing of the attractions was the McHenry band, which played on Sunday afternoon and the afternoon and evening of Labor day. The harmony of their music mingled with the general spirit of harmony of the crowd and gave a finishing touch to the entire affiair. They played exceedingly well. ^ Although the donations were many and generous, hardly an article was left at the end of the evening. Rev. Father McEvoy expresses the feelings of his parish in extending to donors and helpers j»nd attendants his very grateful appreciation of their efforts on behalf of the new church. The home-c6ming feature brought many happy reunions of old friends and acquaintances and had, no doubt its great part in making the festival take on the appearance of a big family gathering where joy was the note and good fellowship the theme. Such affairs as this was make for a kindlier community spirit and add to the joy of living, compeling one to hope that St. Patrick's first festival and home-coming will not be its last. Foresters Elect Officers Election of officers of St. Mary's court, C. O. F., took place on Tuesday evening of this week. On account of the large number present the meeting was held in the K. of C. hall. The officers elected were as follows: Chief ranger, John A. Thennes; vice chief ranger, Frank Weingart; recording secretary, Albert Barbian; financial secretary, George Freund; treasurer, M. M. Niesen; speaker, Leo Heimer. Rev.

According to present plans the route will take the road over Hog Back, altho this stretch may be reconsidered and later on changed to go to Frey's corners and thence to Woodstock. McHenry people care little which way the road will eventually be built so long as we are connected with Woodstock and Waukegan via cement road. More Lois at Fee* mid Park Ed.

Phone 123-R. *v~y; Farm Eire Extinguished % The prompt aid of two silo gangs, together with the assistance tendered by the operators at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, undoubtedly saved the barn on the W. A. Sayler farm, southwest of this village, from total destruction by fire last Saturday morning. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Frank Grasser at about ten o'clock, who notified silo filling gangs on the farms of John Sterbenz and E. J. Thomas. Local telephone operators notified other nearby farmers and within a few minutes after the alarm had been sounded tiie blaze was extinguished. Very little damage was done. The fire started near the stairway on the second floor . of the structure, but its origin is undertermined. Mr. and Mrs. Sayler were in town at the time and were notified by telephone.
