E. Jecks, a farmer residing on route 20, just west of MicHenry, was seriously injured on Saturday of last week when he was struck by an automobile as he stepped onto the pavement near his home. The Jecks farm is divided by the cement road, with the house on the south side and the barn on the north side of the cement. Mr. Jecks had been talking with R. V. Powers who had just delivered some gasoline at the bam and as hfl stepped around the end of the oil truck to cross the pavement a car coming from the east caught and dragged him for considerable distance. The driver stopped and with the assistance of Mr. Powers the injured man was carried into his home and a physician was called. His injuries were so severe that it was deemed advisable to take him to the Woodstock hospital where it was found that his leg was broken in two places, one of the bones protruding through the flesh, about four inches above the ankle. In addition to the compound fracture he also received severe bruises on his shoulders, hip. head and arms. On Sunday an X-ray was taken to make sure that the ' bones were in proper place and the patient was found to be doing as well as possible, although it will probably; be two months, at least, before the j ! injured member can be used. ; The neighbors have been most kind to Mr. and Mrs. Jecks and have finished planting his corn which was not quite completed at the time of the accident. Mr. Jecks is an old and well-known resident having lived in this vicinity all of his life, and his many friends will regret to hear of his accident. THREE ACT FARCE AT EMPIRE THEATRE FRIDAY J. W.

The first school was built in 1850 and the teacher was Henry Thelen. The In- •'•it*-;. dians were still numerous around here when the first settlers came. A few eastern protestant families had settled here already in 1837 to 1840. The first settlers moved here with ox .teams from Chicago, bringing with them household goods and farming implements. Chicago, Waukegan, Kenosha were the nearest markets to sell the farm products, uiitil 1856 when the railroad line through McHenry was built. It is through their efforts and through the efforts of other sisters who have taught in Johnsburg in the past, it is because of the careful and conscientious guidance of the pres-, ent and former pastors, by means of the splendid cooperation of each and every one of the parishioner?, and, mainly, by God's holy will that St. John's parish has grown as it has from the time when Bishop Brutte first put foot on this territory to the present day. It is by reasoft of these things that St. John's tomorrow, can so proudly celebrate its anniversary, that today it stands and in future shall continue to stand as a monument to mark the splendor and growth of Catholicity in this vicinity.

With no one to mourn his passing, no friend to lay a flower upon hi* bier John Blackwell, 30 years old, was buried in Woodland cemetery on Saturday afternoon with only a proper religious service. John Blackwell,. whose home was wherever he happened to b, was almost instantly killed near the Chicago & Northwestern railroad station in this city last Wednesday night. His body was found along the railway tracks the next morning by John Mulch and John Sloan. The "knight of the road" had evidently tried to catch the milk train which passes through here about 10:30 o'clock at night and had missed his footing. The body was dragged along the rails for an estimated distance of 20 feet and then fell to the" ground, the victim's head striking on the cement curb stone. Death is believed to have resulted from concus- ' siion of the brain.

At 8:30 a. m. the bridal procession marched down the center aisle of the elegant chapel, to the strains of heavenly music, rendered by the Sister's choir. The most Rev. Monsignor Jraut, of Milwaukee, was celebrant of Mass and he also invested the postulants with their holy habits. Fifty visiting clergy were present in the Sanctuary for this charming spectacle, among whom was the Rev. Wm. Weber, pastor of St. John the Baptist church, Johnsburg, 111. The This Venerable Gentleman was indeed happy as three of his lambs were among the chosen few. One of the young novices, Miss Dorothy Schaeffer, known in religion as Sister Mary Victricia, has refilled the place left vacant by her sister, who a few months ago, laid aside her earthly crown for the Celestial one awaiting her across the Great Diivde. Miss Pauline Freund, another of Father Weber's lambs now known*as Sister Mary Emmanuel and the third lamb, Miss Loretta Stilling, now addressed as Sister Mlary Junilla.

Him before whom Angels falki , , He the Lord of Heaven and earth, Whispered low one day to thee My heart's blood for thee I've given Give. Oh! give thy heart to me." Indeed, these charming young Novices have the blessing not only of their devoted parents and kind Sisters in religion, but the benediction and loving solicitude of their cherished and reverend pastor, and hosts of friends. The singing of the Te Deum concluded this gorgeous ceremony, and after the ceremony a sumptuous dinner was served to 600 guests by the Sisters of St. Joseph's Convent and long will June 15, 1927 remain in the hearts and memories of the fortunate ,lfew, that witnessed this demonstration. are recovering nicely, but Elmer's condition proved more serious. For fifty hours he lay unconscious in the Victory Memorial hospital at Waukegan until death finally came at 5:30 o'clock Monday morning. The drivers of the Milwaukee truck who surrendered to Sheriff John Wattles of Kenosha shortly after the accident, maintain that they are innocent of the boy's death, as he was driving on the wrong side of the road at the time. Funeral services were held from the White & Tobin Funeral home of Waukegan on Wednesday afternoon. Interment was made in the Ringwood cemetery.

The lad was wellknown and very popular in McHenry as up until recently he had made his home in the neighboring town of I Richmond, and his death comes as a great shock to his many friends here. It was in February of this year that the Bell family moved to Winthrop Harbor, where they were residing at the time of the accident. Bell, with three companions, was driving south on Sheridan Road At 1 o'clock Saturday morning at a fair rate of speed, when his automobile collided with a motor truck belonging to the Triangle Transportation Co., of Milwaukee.
