GANGSTER'S BODY FOUND IN CHICAGO By Policeman H' Raggio is the second gangster who met a tragic death after being released from the Woodstock jail. "Hymie" Weis, who served a sixmonths sentence in the McHenry county jail, was killed by rival gangs in ^Chicago a short time ago. William Raggio, for ten years a judicially protected killer and all- 1 political pull could nbt extricate him. The above paragraph was take! from the Chicago Herald and Exam iner of yesterdy morrang after which followed a detailed story of the killing of Raggio in Chicago. States Attorney A. H. Pouse probably read the story and sighed a relief. The killing of Raggio wiped his the trial calendar of the court in- McHenry county where we was to have been tried next week in connection of the Beljean orchestra holdup of last summer. At the time of his killing he out on $25,000 bonds set by Justice of Peace William Desmond last August. No matter how many times Raggio was arrested or how high the bail was set it always seemed that he found someone to go his bonds so he could go free until trial time. Sheriff Lester Edinger arrested Raggio in Chicago immediately after he was released on bail awaiting a new trial on a charge of murder in Chicago. He was brought to Woodstock and was charged with attempted robbery of the Beljean orchestra of Elgin last June when they were returning home from playing a job at Harvard. The attempted holdup was staged near7 Algonquin. ANTON SCHNEIDER FATALLYWOUNDED GUN IS ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED RICHARD MILLER OPERATED ON AT WAtJKEGAN HOSPITAL Little Richard Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Miller, of Riverside Drive was taken to the Memorial hospital at Waukegan on Monday morning where he immediately underwent an operation. Richard, who will be three years old in February, has been quite sick with pneumonia for about two weeks and a trained nurse has been In attendance. It was found that pus was forming in the lungs and it was deemed advisable to i^mbve the little fellow to the hospital. It was necesary to remove a part of one rib in order to properly drain the left lung which had become so full of pus that it was crowding the heart to the other side of his body. Later reports are to the effect that the boy is getting along nicely, although he will remin at the hospital for some time yet. Birthday Party Little Miss Patricia Phalin celebrated her fourth birthday1 anniversary on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 16, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Phalin. The little guests, who were accompanied by their mothers, spent a happy afternoon. Games were played and refreshments were served with a birthday cake as the center of attraction. Those present were: Mary Knox, Helen Knox, Nona Powers, Ann Ritsher and Dan Powers. All accident which resulted fatally occurred on Saturday, November SO, 1926, when Anton Schneider, 62 old, was shot and seriously near hid home on Fox river. Mr. Schneider had been caretaker of the Chapel Hill Country club for several years and on Saturday morning he prepared to go to his work as usual. About 8 o'clock he took his gun and lunch box and wont down to the river to get his boat and row up the river to his work, remarking that he "might get a rabbit or two." On the day previous he had his gun to shoot a rabbit which he saw in his garden. Being unable to get it he returned his gun to the house, but neglected to unload it. Consequently the gun was loaded as he threw it into the boat, as he had done so many times before, with the muzzle pointing towards him and the jar caused it to accidentally discharge, the shot entering his abdomen. Although fatally wounded he man aged to stagger up the embankment leading to his home and his wife, hearing the shot, rushed out to meet him as he fell unconscious to the pavement in front of his home. Help was summoned and he was carried into the house. Doctors were called and everything was done that medical skill and loving hands could do, but he passed away about 10 o'clock Saturday night. Loss of blood is thought to have hastened his death. Anton Schneider, Sr., had lived in and near McHenry for the past fifty years, where he became well known for his honesty and upright character. As a young man he conducted a grocery business in Chicago, which he later disposed of and came to McHenry. Here he bought the lot on the corner of Riverside Drive and Pearl street, where he erected a twostory building in which he conducted a gocery store, while he and his wife occupied the flat above. He was engaged in business at this location for twelve years when he sold out, at which time he assumed charge of the Chapel Hill Golf course as caretaker until the time or his accidental death. The deceased was a son of Nicholas and Mary Schneider and was born September 21, 1864, on the Nicholas Schneider farm, now owned by Jacob Diedrich. Here he spent the most of his childhood and attended school at Johnsfcurg. On August 2&, 1888, he was united in marriage to Miss Kathrine Neuman of Chicago, who is left to mourn his death. He also leaves two children, Ellen H., and Anthony B., and one brother, Jacob,' besides ten nephews and five nieces.

An interesting mileage contest was held last Saturday afternoon by the Knox Motor Sales, Ford dealers in McHenry. This was the preliminary test being pat on by thirty-two Ford doalers in this section and the final fun is being made Wednesday, Nov. 84, at Elgin, the two winners of the preliminaries from each dealer entering tho contest. The run Saturday was made from the Knox agency out over Route 20 to the Green Bay road, west of Waukegan, north to Lake Villa road and back on Route 21 to Route 20 again. This route was selected so as to run the cars in different directions, avoiding wind conditions in any one direction. Sixteen Ford cars entered tile contest, three of them being open However, only thirteen of qualified at tfca finish. One was eliminated at about eight miles, owing to a leak; the other two got lost before the finish and were not found by the judges. The rules of the contest were as follows: That all competing cars be standard 1926 model Ford cars. That each car be thoroughly drained, carburetor and tank, one gallon of ordinary low test gasoline be put in tank and tank sealed by the judges That the mileage from the starting point to where each car stopped due to exhaustion of gasoline be measured by the speedometer on the Lincoln sedan. Two cash prises were offered for closed and open models. In the closed car class John A. Bolger, in a Tudor sedan, made the best record, going 34.6 miles on the one gallon of gas. George J. Miller, in another Tudor sedan, made the next best record, reaching 83.7 miles. In the open model class, Ben J. Smith, in a touring car, was able to go 31 miles on his gallon of gas, while Joseph M. Schaefer, in a runabout truck, was a close second, reaching 30.8 miles. Messrs. Bolger and Smith were thus eligible to make the trip to Elgin and enter the finals. The three judges selected to witness the contest were C. J. Reihansperger, Ray F. Conway and A .H. Mosher. A close check was kept on the draining «of the cars, the measurement of the gas and the sealing of the tapks, as well as the mileage taken from the speedometer on John R. Knox's Lincoln sedan.
