Thompson, the latter a naval recruiting officer now stationed at Woodstock, figured in a big automobile accident on the Lincoln highway near DeKalb last Thursday night. The three were on their way to Woodstock from Aurora, where they had attended the Central States fair. The accident occurred at a sharp turn about "a mile and a half east of DeKalb. Thompson, who was at the wheel and unfamiliar with the road, was unable to slow down the speed of the machine sufficiently to make the turn in safety and as a result the big Chandler turned turtle, pinning its occupants underneath. The victims were taken to the DeKalb hospital, where it was found that the driver had received several broken ribs and a fractured arm. Mr. Miltenberger has a broken arm and several body bruises and a bad cut on his head, while his wife's injuries consisted of bruises about the face and arm. The accident occurred about 10:30 p. m.

It was finally agreed by the players to take a substantial cut in salary, while Manager Wright resigned his office in order that a playing manager might be named. With the new arrangement the post believes that it will be possible to complete the season without further losses. High salaried baseball teams, even in a city the size of Elgin, will not pay. In fact, the city of Elgin alone will not sup-, port a first-class baseball club. It is the outside support that the team has been getting which has really helped the gate receipts very materially. Early Sunday morning, August 27, six automobiles filled with the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ward proceeded to the home of the latter in this city to participate in the annual family reunion. The relatives of the Wards are nearly all Chicago folks so it meant early breakfast for those who came by auto. Those who, attended were Irene Hough, their niece; Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hough, Sr., and his married sons and daughters and their families; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Ward, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rasmussen and daughter, Jean; Mr. and Mrs. Peter Mc- Grath, long-time friends of the Houghs and Wards, and Miss Betty Jackson, a friend of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hough. The party consisted of twenty-four grown persons and sixteen children. Owing to the chilliness of the weather lunch and supper were served indoors. It is Heedless so say that a good time Was had by all, the young folks playing out-door games, whUe the heads of families reviewed days gone by. " ADDITIONAL PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Robert Whitley and family, Mr. and Mrs. Will Whitley, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Whitley and family and Grandpa Whitley of Chicago were Sunday visitors at the home of Mrs. Anna Frisby. Mrs. G. A. Hanly and daughter, Grace, of Elgin have been spending a week as guests in the home of the former's sister, Mrs. W. A Sayler. On Sunday Mrs. Sayler with her guests and Mrs. W. C. Besley and sons, Vernon and Walter, of Woodstock, spent the day at the Besley cottage at Lake Geneva, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. R. I. Ovefton, daughters, Marguerite and Gwendolyn, and son, Richard, witfa Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cowen and Mrs. Fannie Overton of Harvard have returned from a trip to Niagara Falls. They went by way of Ontario and came back around the lake by Erie, Pa., and Cleveland, O., making a trip of over 1500 miles. The entire trip was made in a Buick. IN HONOR OF DAUGHTER Mrs. P. J. Schaefer entertained a company of little folks at her home on Waukegan street on Monday afternoon of this week in honor of her daughter, Evelyn, whose fourth birthday anniversary came on that day. The little guests, as was to be expected, made the most of the afternoon and at an appropriate hour delicious refreshments were served.
