The signals are painted red and have been purchased at a cost of $12 each. Building activities at Pell Lake, Wisconsin's newest summer resort, still continues at a rapid rate of speed. The ' resort, which last year was but a tract of farm land, is gradually growing into a good sized 'Sheriff Edinger owner of a ne which he hopes to as he is not engagi connected with his office. The county • has also consented to the purchase of a new car for use in his work. Arthur L. Hardin has purchased a large tract of land overlooking Geneva lake which is to be subdivided and sold. The property has a water frontage of nearly 700 feet and the new subdivision will be known as "Indian Hills." It will be quite exclusive and the community park idea will be carried out. Heavy purchases of farm lands and other property along the Chicago & Northwestern line, west of Chicago, is the cause of considerable speculation around West Chicago on the possibility of electrification of the railroad as far west as that city. There are also rumors that the district is. being considered as the new site for Chicago's anion stock yards. An option to purchase the Chicago, Harvard & Geneva Lake electric railway line, with t^e privilege of operating its passengter and freight service, has been acquired by the Fox River Valley Coacty company of Elgin.

Jack Johnson of Chicago, at one time holder of the title of world's champion prise fighter, visited the county jail at Woodstock on Wednesday of last week. It is not'known whom he called on in particular at the jail but in view of the fact that there are now confined within its walls such men as "Dapper Dan" McCarthy, Earl Weiss and other noted characters of Chicago, it may have been anyone or all of these men who are now serving time there. John Bedford, a life prisoner, escaped from the Joliet state penitentiary last week. The prisoner was sentenced to life imprisonment atj Joliet by the late Judge Charles H Donnelly at Woodstock on Feb. 1,1909, after he had been found guilty of murder of Oscar Hoganson, on the Bedford farm, four miles north of Marengo. The body was dug from beneath several feet of earth in the hen house on &te farm. Bedford at the time of his escape was employed on the honor Jarm at the state prison.

Forty- five delegates attended the convention. . A controversy which evidently has %cisted some time between the mayor JLl the members of the city council Geneva, Wis., came to a clijpax at the last regular meeting of that body when the mayor left his chair and told the aldermen that if they wanted to run the city, they eoold run it but he was through.

SCOUTS TO HAVE SUMMER CAMP ON FOX RIVER THREE MILES NORTH OF McHENRY Through the efforts of the camp committee and other members of the McHenry county council, Boy Scouts of America, the Boy Scouts of this community will have the opportunity of attending a real honest to goodness camp for at least seven days. Seven days that will be crowded full of good times from* first call at 6:80 in the morning until taps at nine o'clock in the evening. , , The camp is to be located on the •bank of the Fox river, three miles north of McHenry on the Schmidt Farm, with a place to go swimming and a fine place to flsh, if one cares for that particular kind of sport. Tents with wood floors large enough for eight Scouts will be used and the canvas is of such a quality that continuous rains will not soak the tent and make the interior damp and uncomfortable. Each scout will sleep on a dandy canvrts cot and all he will have to furnish will be his blankets and pillow. A dandy program of Camp Firea, Indian councils, and many other interesting stunts will make a seven day stay at camp an event that will remain in your memory forever. Camp opens July 11 and if you are going get in touch with the scout executive at Woodstock immediately for full details. McHENRY BASEBALL CLUB WILL TRAVEL TWO DAYS EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES CONSUMED MORE THAN TWO DAYS--AWAIT RESULT The Sohm ejectment case got under way in the McHenry county circuit court at Woodstock on Monday morning of this week and right from the very beginning the court room became the scene of unusual activity. The case hinges on that part of Charles street which the town of Mc- Henry claims and desires to have freed from obstructions so that the local officials may turn the same over to the state highway department for the completion of route 20 as the same will pass thru the city of McHenry. The first step taken by former judge, D. T. Smiley of Harvard, who represents Mr. Sohm in the suit, was a motion to have the Sohm ejectment case dismissed. Judge Earl Reynolds of Rockford, who is presiding at this term of court, overruled the motion. The step meant that a jury trial would be held and the work of impaneling the jury was at once begun. After examining quite a large number of prospective jurymen the following twelve men were finally picked: E. C. Austin of Richmond; John Marvin, R. D. Croak, Fred Pierce, William Kohls, Woodstock; Clare Gates, A. M. Ehle, Hebron; L. A. Douglas, Louis Dennis, Chemung; W. J. Johonnott, Richmond; D. A. Powers, Crystal Lake and Will Ackman, Riley. As stated above the defense was represented by Atty. D. T. Smiley while State's Attorney A. iC.' Jo^lyn, Sr., of W the case for the pros* Each day of the t< well filled court room, many of the fans being from this city and community. As a matter of fact this city very much peopled the court room during the entire trial. Quite a large number of witnesses were examined by both the prosecution and defense during the days the trial was in session and while some quite exciting situations were developed, the examinations were not without humor. One of the witnesses to cause smiles and even laughter among the court room fans was Frank Smith of this city, who appeared as a witness for the prosecution. Some of his answers to questions as put to him created an outburst of laughter. Several times during the trial things became pretty warm between the opposing councils and it became necessary for the presiding judge to call their attention to the dignity of the court. Most of Wednesday was consumed in the examination of the defense witnesses, the last of whom appeared on the stand late yesterday afternoon. According to information as given The Platndealer just before going to press this (Thursday) morning, the final arguments to the jury were scheduled to start at ten o'clock this morning. The Plaindealer could not wait the final results altho these are very likely known to many of our readers by now. Supervisor S. H. Ffeund and his supporters felt quite confident this morning that a verdict wouljl ba returned in their favor.

NORTON BURNED IN EXPLOSION WHEN SHE ATTEMPTS TO KINDLE FIRE Mrs. Roy Norton, mother of nine children, passed away at the Cottage hospital, Harvard, Tuesday evening a* the result of burns sustained in a fire which destroyed the family home at Spring Grove about 8:30 Tuesday afternoon. The unfortunate victim of this terrible accident attempted to start a fire in the kitchen stove with kerosene. Live coals in the stove ignited the kerosene causing an explosion and setting fire to Mrs. Norton's clothing. Frantically the poor woman rushed from the house and into the yard where neighbors and her children rushed to her aid. The husband and oldest son were at work at a farm where they had been employed for some time but the other children were either in the house or yard at the time. Two of her daughters, seeing their mother enveloped in flames, rushed to the house where they procured blankets and, with the aid of the neighbors, succeeded in squelching the flames but not until the mother had been fatally burned. Dr. Klonz of Richmond was called and ordered the victim to the hospital where every science known to the medical profession was used in saving her life but to no avail. A call for help was sent to Fox Lake and McHenry. Both fire departments ed promptly, the former det arriving on the scene first ate to save tlflHtataMMLJts T""» richer ived. X The Norton hom practically its entire contend to the ground. The children who are thus left without the guidance and care of a mother are: Leroy, Loretta, Ethel, Julia, Doris, Joseph, Bertha, Lillian and Ernest, the youngest being but a year and a half old. When the McHenfy fire department arrived, after a record run, they found that the Fox Lake fire fighters had the situation well in hand so far as saving the neighboring houses and therefore it was not necessary for them to get into action. The entire little vicinity was thrown into deep gloom over t^e sad death of one of their residents, ja woman who enjoyed the love and respect of everyone. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the husband and children in these, their saddest hours. NEW PAVING DISTRICTS OVER ADVERTISING FOR BIDS IN TODAX'S ISSUE OF PLAINDEALER DR. WELLS SELLS HOME TRANSFER OF VALUABLE PROPERTY MADE FRIDAY A deal wa3 consummated last Friday whereby the Dr. D. G. Wells property, consisting of a lot, a large two-story house and private garage, located on the northwest corner of Green and Elm streets, passed from the. local physician's ownership to that of Tom Dattolo of Arlington Heights and Chas. and John Unti of this city, the first of the three named acting as the agent for the two others in the closing of the sale. Dr. Wells, who purchased the corner some twenty odd years ago and then built a residence thereon, has occupied the place ever since its construction where he maintained his private residence as also his office. Possession of the property will not be given until Jan. 1, 1928. Dr. Wells has not as yet decided as to his future plans but that he will remain in his present location and continue to practice his profession until the first of the year, is certain. Whether or not he will continue the practice of medicine in McHenry after that the first of the year is certain. Whematter of fact the well-known and popular physician will make known his future plans when the proper time comes for such an announcement. In an interview with C. Unti the writer was told that the purchasers of the property were not ready at this time to disclose their future plans as to their purpose but it is only reasonable to assume that the purchasers will make these public at some future time. The property is very valuable. As u matter of fact we have heard it expressed on numerous occasions that rner is far too valuable to be jvate residence. e of si«r* SPEND MTHHQtE M'HENRY INVITES YOU TO MO HOLIDAYS ASS OOUl fRt GUESTS TO SI ESTABLISHES LEGION POST SPONSOR A THREE DAYS' CARNIYAL AT FOX PAVILION PARK i All roads leads to McHenry on Jtily 3, 4, and 5, as it is these dates that the members of the McHenrjr Post, American legion, will stage their second annual carnival and fourth of July celebration. The legion has the co-operation off every business and professional of the city of McHenry and with committee functioning, the event not help but prove a decided •nrrwiii, both socially and financially. The legion staged a big three <bf<$t event at this season last year and yon will remember what a big time everyone had. Well, this year's undertaking,. according to the enthusiastic workers, will surpass that of last year and thus you have some sort of an idea what the former dough boys have Ib store for you. The carnival and celebration will again be staged at the Fox pavilion park, on the McHenry-Pistakee Bay road, a short distance northeast this city. Carpenters have already started work on the big midway stands and booths and by tomorrow night everything will be decked in holiday attire and ready for your entertainment and enjoyment. Splendid co-operation is this year being given the Legion members by the business men of the city who wish to see the carnival turn into the biggest thing of the kind ever attempted here. Everybody seems to be heart and soul for it and it is this sort of spirit that is usually accompanied by success. he city it preparing to entertain ariliafaattaiud--in its history and CHICAGO ORGANIZATION RENTS FARM ON FOX RIViaiv The McHenry baseball club will again display their wares on foreign gardens on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday afternoon, they will assist Libertyville celebrate the Fourth by staging a contest on the fair grounds in that city with the Libertyville team as their opponents. On the following day, Sunday, July 5, they will travel to the State Line park at Richmond where they will once more tackle the State Liners. The game at Libertyville promises to terminate into a real battle. Libertyville has always been more or less of a stumbling block to McHenry and the fans may rest assured of a real tussle whenever these two clubs meet. The State Liners and McHenry will stage their season's third encounter at the State Line park on Sunday. McHenry already has two games to their credit and the boys are going up there next Sunday djitymined to make it a clean sweep. PAVE HEARING AT CITY HALL THIS AFTERNOON The pave hearings in districts Nos. 5 and 6, which include Pearl and Waukegan streets, were held at the city hall here this afternoon. Owing to the fact that The Plaindealer went to press before the meetings were called to order, we are unable to five our reader* the outcome. For the first time in the history of this city music lovers of McHenry and vicinity last Sunday evening wer^ given the opportunity and privilege of listening to an organ recital right here at home. And to make the occasion an auspicious one the artist was none other than Clarence Eddy, world famous • organist, of Chicago. St. Mary's church was the scene of the recital and for the first time since the installation of the beautiful new pipe organ, were the parishioners in attendance given a real conception as to its range and beauty of tone. No one but a man of Mr. Eddy's exceptional qualifications could possibly bring out the sweetness of tone heard last Sunday night. His program, which lasted about one hour and a half, consisted of eight numbers while Mr. Hill of Chicago contributed two solos. It was an entertainment of exceptional merit and while something new to many who made up the congregation, it was neverheless greatly enjoyed and appreciated. SENATOR McKINLEY STOPPED HERE MONDAY AFTERNOON c <United States Senator William B McKinley, on a tour of McHenry county, stopped off a short time in this city late Monday afternoon. Dur ing his short stay in this city he met a number of the voters who happened to be on the streete at the time and then left for Woodstock where he was scheduled to speak that evening. It seems a trifle early to awaken the public into political spirit at this time which probably accounts for the small number of McHenry people who were on hand to greet the senator.

MARY'S LAST SUNDAY Hie matter of the propped paving of Green street and Elgin >0|d was satisfactorily settled in the county court at Woodstock tjiis week and in today's issue of The Plaindealer the board of local improvements is advertising for bids for the paving of this district. As previously stated in the columns of this paper the proposed paving starts at Elm street and will follow Green street and Elgin road to connect with the Main street paving and when this stretch has been completed, this city will be given a continuous paved road from the depot to the north city limits on Riverside Drive. It is the aim of the members of the board of local improvements to rush this work with all possible speed and .with favorable weather conditions the stretch should be completed within a very short time after work once gets under way. Green street, from Elm to the Boone creek bridge, will be paved its entire width. Contrary to the wishes of some of the property owners, the street will not be straighened out or widened. rants and private homes take care of the overflow during the holiday seasons are ready for the faflux. All of the stores, especially the meat markets and groceries, are putting in an unusually large stock thus assuring the hundreds of visitora that they will be well fed over the three days. - > Along the beautiful Fox the various boat lines are ready to take the visitors on sight seeing trips which will include the upper Fox, and the chain of lakes, and tributaries. The Fox, unless the old weather man sends us too cool a brand of weather,, will also attract the row boat enthusiasts, the fishermen and those who enjoy an occasional dip into its silvery water*. These are some of the things that the visitors will want to enjoy besides the carnival itself and therefore McHenry is preparing to give its guests a diversified program. The two golf courses, one in the city and the other at Chapel Hill, will attract those who enjoy this sort of sport while the country roads and the lanes will attract those who enjoy horse back riding. Summing up the entire situation McHenry will have to offer its Fourth of July guests, besides the carnival attractions, the following out door sports: Boating, fishing, swimming, golfing, horse-back riding and hiking.

Freund farm, located three and one-half miles north of this city, where a large number of orphans and boys from poor families will be given an outing during the next two months. The camp site is beautri fully located on the east shore of Fox river with plenty of 'shade and enough space to allow the youngsters to enjoy the great out-doors to their hearts' content. Work of establishing the camp and erecting of tents was started last week and this morning was ready for the first enrollment of boys, about eighty number, who arrived over the Northwestern railroad and from there marched, in mass formation, to the outgoing grounds. It is the plan of the organization to give these boys a two weeks' outing after which they will be sent back to Chicago and their places taken by another bunch of youngsters. The camp has been built to accommodate eighty boys at a time, thus the next eight weeks will see something like three hundred youngsters enjoying the comforts and enjoyments that this summer resort district affords. The Chicag ) council is purely a charitable organization of which J. Rhein The camp site and H. Benedict's choir of Chicago sang the 10:15 o'clock mass at St. Mary's church last Sunday morning. The music was easily the best of its kind heard there in a long time. There was quite a large congregation present. The members of the choir, or at least most of them, came to McHenry from Wilmette, via motor bus. They partook of dinner at Justen's hotel and the time intervening between the dinner hour and their departure was spent along the river and in the city. The outing, judging from the spirit of the choristers, was greatly enjoyed. • r V.
