WINS BARRINOTON GAME Whs By Score Last Saturday, Jii Making Points •f » *|0 F#; • t' . •.. v Birthday Surprise On last Thursday afternoon sixteen riends and neighbors of Mrs. Hannah uhn gave her a surprise party at her „.ome on Ringwood road. Mrs. Kuhn liad been invited out to spend the afternoon as she supposed, when she was summoned hurriedly home and upon her arrival found all the ladies waiti% for her jvith everything in readiness for an afternoon of cards. •When she recovered from the surprise Mrs. Kuhn remembeed that she was to have a birthday in a few days which accounted for the unexpected party. The hostess was presented with a beautiful gift from the ladies^ as a token of remembrance for her birthday. Five hundred was played, with first prize going to Mrs. George JKuhn, second prize to Mrs. Julius jkeg and third prize to Mrs. A. Vales. -jDelicious refreshments were served, jafter which the ladies departed, leaving with their hostess their best Wishes for many happy returns of the •day. ' The good left leg of Jim Fay decided another football battle in favor of the local Orange and Black team Saturday, when McHenry defeated Barrington 3 to 0. This drop kick was all that was needed, however, for McHenry to gain the decision because the McHenry line was making the Barrington backSeld look like something- that the cat brought in. In other words, the Barrington warriors could make no headway against Mc- Henry's strong line except ir< the first quarter when they reached the 20- yard line. This was as close as they could come and so McHenry gained their Second win of the seaso#. McHenry easily outplayed their opponents but lacked the necessary punch to put the ball over the goal line, one time coming within three inches of a touchdown. On other occasions McHenry had the ball in scoring territory but either lost on downs or fumbles. The aforementioned drop kick came in the last period with both teams starting to play some real football. Fay dropped back on fourth down to the 35-yard line and gave a mighty kick that put the ball between the goal for the only score of the game. The kick took Barrington by surprise as it is probably the first time they had a chance to see a real dropkick. The rest of the game was played near the middle of the field with neither team making a threat to score. Notes of the Game McHenry did not have the fight that they displayed against Marengo, but it was hardly necessary as Barrington's attack weakened in the final periods under McHenry battering, offense and defense 8urprise for Mrs. Reynolds A number of friends surprised Mrs. A. C. Reynolds at her home on Main 'street Sunday evening in honor of her fiftieth birthday anniversary. Four tables of five hundred were played with the ladies' prize for high score being won by Mrs. A. Krause and the •men's prize for high score was won by F. O. Gans.

A^delicious chicken dinner was served at FORMER M'tMY VETERINARIAN DIES LAST RESIDENCE WAS AT CRYSTAL LAKE Dr Adibon C. Spur ling, Victim of Apoplexy; Inquest Is Held Monday A coroner^ jury, composed of Br. R. G. Chamberlin, N. J. Justen, William Althoff, -T W. Gilbert, Fred Kamholz and George Channley, returned a verdict Monday forenoon, after inquiry into the death of Dr. Addison C. Spurling, veterinary surgeon of Crystal Lake. The inquest was held at the undertaking parlors of N. J. Justen & Son, in West McHenry. Dr. Spurling was found Tuesday evening of last week in an unconscious condition on the floor of the basement in the E. P. Each restaurant at Crystal Lake. He had just finished eating a lunch and had gone to the basement where the toilet is located. Failing to return to the main floor, the night man at the cafe went to search for the customer and found the doctor at the foot of the stairs. A physician was called and he was reirioved to his home and later to the hospital, passing away Thursday evening, having never regained consciousness. The jury decided that a stroke of apoplexy was the cause of death. It was first thought that Dr. Spurling had been a victim of foul play and an investigation was started by State's Attorney Pouse, which caused the inquest to be postponed from Saturday until Monday. The evidence produced, however, did not indicate anything to warrant the suspicion aroused. Addison C. Spurling, who for seventeen years was a practicing veterifUEUND'S TEAM DEFEATS P.

CELEBRATE TWENTY-FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Byron Hitchens," McHenry fullback, nary surgeon in McHenry, passed was out of the game Saturday with a cracked hip. His services were greatly missed and it is hoped that he will be able to play against Crystal £.ake this Saturday. ^ 1 The officials refereed justly but they did not seem to know just what to do. On several occasions it was necessary to use the rule book to settle some controversy and one of these was simple, indeed. Crystal Lake heavies and lights come here Saturday for the second home game of the season. As Crystal Lake has a strong team two of the hardest battles of the year are looked for. Coach Stringer has been working his squad hard all week in preparation for one of the hardest games of the season. Crystal Lake played Harvard to a 0-0 tie last Saturday. This means that the locals must step out with their best if they hope to bring home the bacon. McHenry by defeating Marengo is still in the running for county championship honors. If McHenry can defeat Crystal Lake they will be well on their way to the championship. The lights have been working hard all week and Coach Wolfe is confident of annexing another victory when the lights tackle Crystal Lake Saturday. Last Saturday's victory over Marengo has put the pep into the lights and they have worked hard for the coming game. One of the largest crowds of the season is expected as this is bound to be one of the best football games of the year. . - Legion Meeting The next regular meeting of McHenry Post, American Legion, will be held in Forresters' hall, Tuesday evening, Oct. 26, at 8 o'clock.

HAND IN SILO FILLER Charles Whiting Is Victim of Un- , fannate Accident Saturday. Afternoon The many friends of Charles Whiting were shocked and grieved to hear of the serious accident which befell him between 2 and 3 o'clock last Saturday afternoon. Throughout the season Charles has had charge of the silo filling outfit and on Saturday they were engaged in filling the silo on the Whiting tenant farm, occupied by Fred Merchant, The day was chilly, and as Charles later explained it, he was cold and his hands were rather numb. As he was feeding the filler and his hand was caught into the rollers before he felt it or realized what had happened. However, he had the presence of mind to throw the machine into reverse, releasing his arm, after which he fell to the ground, which was the first that those near him noticed anything wrong. Assistance hurried to him and he was rushed to the office of a local physician by Ray Page, where he was given first aid and immediately taken to the hospital at Woodstock where a surgeon performed the operation, finding that the fingers and most of the thumb and right hand had been taken off. For the first two days the injury was very painful and the patient, was quite weak from the severe shock, but at a later date he was feeling somewhat better. Charles is a graduate of the McHenry high school, being a member of the class of 1919, and lie also completed a course at the Madison university. _ He is keenly interested in machinery and is an excellent mechanic, having assisted his father in this work for several years.

The president of the club, Richard B. Walsh, assumed charge of the meeting and after a few words of greeting to all present, given in hia pleasing manner, he requested D. I. 1 Granger to approach the platform at which time he was presented with the Pouse cup, the final round of this tournament being played in September. This cup is a very beautiful one and was presented to the club by States' Attorney A. H. Pouse and one which Mr. Granger may be very proud to place on his mantel.
