He was fishing with five or six other friends when he stippe&4»eaHlte plli into the wafer. He" had been under the water fifty five minutes before he was fished out by friends and other spectators who witnessed the accident. A local physician was called and arrived before the body was recovered. He worked with the lung motor for an hour to no avail. The coroner's inquest was conducted near the dam by Coroner E. H. Cook of Huntley. The verdict was "accidental drowning while fishing at the McHenry dam." Relatives were summoned and took the body back to Chicago.

The Crystal Lake city council hms received a complaint asking that tourists be prevented from parking their cars on Eagle street and using them as dressing rooms in order to change their clothes to go bathing. Since the city's park board established a $1 auto parking fee system, many motorists instead of paying the fee, park their cars along the streets. Sharpshooting gentry in the neighborhood of Spring street, Elgin, armed with guns, clubs, baseball bats, and rolling pins waged war, July 10, on a family of owls near by.

State investigators are engaged ia a check-up of motor truck owners In northern Illinois cities who are not complying with a state law requiring a mirror on every truck. Under this law every motor truck must contain a mirror placed in the cab on the truck to warn drivers of the approach of automobiles from the rear. F. W Benjamin of Marengo, a state investigator, has been touring Boone and McHenry counties and notifying truck owners and drivers of the law. Citien along the Fox river were free Monday to proceed with plana for the organisation of a sanitary district following the action Saturday of Governor Len Small in signing the bill spon uored by Representative Frank Me Oarthy of Elgin. Under the provisions of the McCarthy bill, cities of the state are allowed to form conservancy districts for sanitation and water supply purposes, as well as for the protection of fish. The Fox river district and Springfield are especially affected by the bill. According to very recent developments among the business men, McHenry is assured of a series of band concerts ir, McHenry during the summer months. Elmer Koerner was appointed by the band to interview the business men of the city and find out whether they were interested in supporting such a project. He has met with very cordial response as the contributions indicate. The plan this year is to print a large attractive window card containing the concert schedule for the season, a good picture of the McHenry band, and a space for the names and business of those who support the band. These posters will be distributed among the business houses which are supporting these concerts. Just as yet the schedule is not complete. It is evident that there are to be two concerts each week, one in West McHenry and one in McHenry. Undoubtedly the community club will co-operate with the band in arranging the schedule. ' Although Mr. Koerner has worked hard, it has been impossible for htm to solicit each and every business. It Is desired that everyone should be given a chance to contribute. If anyone has been overlooked, it will not be too late if they will phone A. E. Nye's jewelry and music store or the Plaindealer and % state their contribution. We are pleased to publish herewith the names of those firms which have contributed to the present time. All others will be given due consideration in our next issue.

LOTUS W ALIVE BIG NEWSPAPER REPORTS TO THE CONTRARY FALSE MILLIONS OF LEAVES IN 8IGHT BUT HIGH WATER LAST YEAR RUINED BUDS 0.F.S0HM INDICTED GRAND JURY RETURNS TRUE BILLS LAST SATURDAY CHARGES McHENRY MAN WITH OBSTRUCTING PUBLIC* HIGHWAY-- A NUISANCE sions, red fire and hip, hip, hurrah In politics, Wandrack and his Algonquin friends organized the Algonquin Indians and they became famous for many miles around As a political Organization. With the election of Monroe Lake of Harvard as sheriff more than twenty years ago, Mr. Wandrack was named as chief deputy, since which time he has been a resident of Wood stock. He succeeded Mr. Lake as sheriff and was again elected to that office eight years later. Charles Wandrack came to McHenry county in 1866, when he was nine years of age. He learned the harness maker's trade from his father, and continued the business as left him at the time of his father's death in 1878. December 11, 1883, Mr. Wandrack was married at Eau Claire, Wis., to Alba T. Argard. Prior to his election as sheriff Mr. Wandrack served several terms as president of the village boad and village trustee. He also served as deputy sheriff under Sheriffs Udell, Eckert and Keyes prior to moving to Woodstock as chief deputy under Sheriff Lake. Perhaps no man in McHenry county was better known or had a larger circle of personal friends than did "Big Charley" Wandrack. Although he had his affiliations politically and always stood loyal to them, it was generally conceded that his personal popularity would carry him to success regardless of factionat diversions. Funeral services were held for the deceased at his home in Woodstock at 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday, with burial Among the fifteen indictments returned by the McHenry County Cir cuit Court grand jury, in special session last Saturday, was one against Otto F. Sohns, charged in four counts with obstructing a highway on the east side of the Fox river at McHenry. This move forms a new angle to what has become known as the Sohm road case, which is well known to our readers, and which has been in the circuit court twice and the first time appealed to the higher court. The indictment charges Mr.' Sohm in the first Count with unlawfully, knowingly and willingly obstructing a certain public highway on July 3 then and there constituting and being m public nuisance. In the second count the reading is practically the same except that the highway is designated as Charles street, as shown on the plat of the town of McHenry, east side of Fox river. The third count charges the obstruction and describes it as consisting of a fence, sidewalk, private driveway, building or structure. In the fourth count Mr. Sohm is charged, on the second day of July, 1926, with unlawfully erecting, continuing and maintaining a nuisance by placing, building, erecting and maintaining a building or structure, fence, sidewalk and driveway upon and across a public highway. When the indictment was returned before Judge Shurtleff a capias was ordered to issue and hflil in J sum of |600. ' At least one big Chicago newspaper recently published a story, which was copied by a number of smaller dailies throughout the country, stating that ihe lotus beds at Grass Lake were dead. ' It is hard to tell from what soorca this report emanated, but probably was hatched up in the fertile brain of l yme cub reporter who desired to get a "scoop.** The editor of The Plaindealer made a special trip to the beds Sunday afternoon to get first-hand information regarding the condition of the plants and was gratified to find the report of their destruction absolutely false. Millions of small leaves are to be found in Grass Lake, although the buds are scarce and there will be but few flowers this year. The condition this year, it is stated, is due to the high water last season which drowned out the buds. However, there is no question about the life of the plants. They are all right and the flowers will come back the same as before. "Jack" O'Connor, who conducts a: resort on Grass Lake, and who has j>hown unusual interest in th3 lotus, J| emphatically states that there is no «|j truth in the story published in Chi- A'jt cago. Mr. O'Connor is without doubt Afl the best authority on the subject as he A| practically lives among the lotus. . Ai|j There are millions of leaves on the water this year," says O'Connor, "but p there will be few flowers this year. 7® The plants are as much alive as ever.* " ||| The publication of such a story by the big press has aroused the ire of4 j y j residents in this section. Thousands of visitors have come to the Fox River . ^ section each year, many of them at-" ^ tracted by the famous lotus beds. To JA circulate such a report without firsts ' making a complete investigation isp ^ certainly a poor piece of newspaper ' work and such practice should be condemned. The Plaindealer is pleased to be able to print a contradiction to the report, , and hopes that the papers which published the erroneous story may sefcutheir readers aright. The Hunter Boat company, whfcfcA conducts excursions to the Grass Lake * region, informs Os that several hudf were brought back this week by pas-fA sengers carried to the lotus beds, further proof of the facts stated above.

TRY NBW SIGNAL 8YSTEM The visit of officials of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad to Elgin recently to inspect the crossing signal system at Douglas avenue is given to indicate that this system may be adopted at all of the Northwestern crossings. The possibility of constructing similar electric apparatus at all crossings and abandoning the crossing gates was discussed by the officials. Carl Forester, 17, of Zion, arrested for speeding Friday, and who ran away from the police station when he heard his mother tell the police to lock him up, is back ift jail. His mother arrested him when he returned home at night and brought him to the police station. She then went out and found him a job and he was released frotn jail Tuesday to start work.
