The meeting was called to order shortly after 11 o'clock with a full attendance, except Supervisor Robert Haeper of Algonquin. The bill as presented to the board included some of the following items. For automobile hire for three months .*1908.00 For liqour purchased as evi dence ••••••• For hotel bills For train fare For motor boat hire in securing evidence along the Fox River ......... For soft drinks ......... For telephone calls .. ..... The total bill presented by the McQueeny agency for services amounted ' to $4,885.76. This was for work over a period of three months. Judge Allen Speaks County Judge Charles Allen of Cary was present and asked to say a few words in regard to the bill and to what he thought of it. Judge Allen responded by saying that for his •personal interest he would like to see the investigation go on until it was thoroughly cleaned up. He said that considerable talk was being heard all over the county and that it was a eommon conversation on street corners, in business houses and in homes that higher ups were involved in the scandal and that the sheriff's office, the county judge and circuit judge were being mentioned as being "hooked up" with the graft ring and beer ring and that for the good of the community and for those who are being mentioned that the investigation be continued. He also stated that the board of supervisors would make a mistake by letting the investigation be snuffed out where it stands. He said that the board owed it to themselves and to the officials of the county to have the scandal cleaned up and those mentioned either convicted or given a clean bill of health. Judge Allen's remarks brought a round of applause from the members present. Shurtleff Letter Following Judge Allen's message a letter was read from Circuit Judge E. D. Shurtleff. The contents of the letter were similar to what Judge Allen stated. Judge Shurtleff stated that he was sorry that he could not be present but owing to Appellate court being in session at Springfield this week it was impossible for hm to attend. A letter signed by three Harvard women and bearing the names of 31f women of the county asking that the ' investigation be continued until the county's name was cleared was read. A petition signed by 77 members of the Crystal Lake Methodist church asking that the investigation be continued was also read. Supervisor Hale of Crystal Lake presented the petition and he also stated that the mayor of Crystal Lake asked to be quoted in the same manner on the proposition. Others Heard Following the presentatidn of the various letters and petitions several of the supervisors including Supervisor Ackman of Coral, Supervisor Freund of McHenry, Supervisor Kuecker of Seneca and Supervisor Brown of Dorr voiced their opinions on the subject. Supervisor Ackman wanted to know why the county had to foot the bill when the federal government had stepped in and took over the reins. Supervisor Brown questioned the legality of the McQueeny bill, stating - that he didn't believe that the McQueeny agency had any contract or signed agreement to start work in the county. Supervisor Ackman stated that he thought there should be some underf standing as to how long the investigation was to go on. He said that addexpenses was being registered each day and in his opinion the sheriff, with the right co-operation from county officials, could continue the work and clean up the county as well Its an investigations agency. Harrison Talks Supervisor Harrison of Greenwood waited until the "iron was hot" and proceeded to give a lengthy address on the subject. The Greenwood man wandered away frcm the main subject on •several occasions before getting down to facts. He told of the grape business in California having in- "• creased during the last few years and how many more American cars were in Canada this year than on previous years and of how the traveling salesmen around these parts could tell you where to purchase good, liquor and a number of other things. Harrison stated that McHenry county was just as good as any other county and that he didn't think that hey had to hire any detective agency to come in here and clean it up if county officials wou^d only co-operate. He said that paying $300 for Welfare Workers Will Assemble 'In The Watch City on October 23 and 24 The National Catholic Welfare conference for the diocese of Rockford will meet in Elgin at St. Mary's school hall, on October 23 and 24.

McHENRY DEFEATED BY MARENGO GRIDS Teams Take Small End of Score In Football Games Last Saturday The two football teams of the Community high school journeyed to Marengo last Saturday to play the first game of the season, and where they met defeat at the hands of the heavier and more experienced Marengo teams. The rain, toormade the playing hard and the field slippery but notwithstanding the odds against the boys the teams put up a big fight and the two touchdowns made by Marengo were not gained without » struggle. Marengo won the game with the heavyweights with a score of 12 to o and although the local boys did not score they played a wonderful game and real football. The game opened with Marengo kicking off. The ball was received by Barbian, who carried it back to the 40-yard line. In the second quarter our boys were pushed back to the 10-yard line. The first touchdown was made when Marengo punted to the McHenry line whe then attempted a pass which was intercepted and Miarengo scored for a touchdown. The second touchdown came when Marengo punted a short, high punt, which Schaeffer attempted to catch with Marengo's whole team around him. He fumbled and Marengo recovered on McHenry's 20-yard line. A pass completed put the ball on McHenry's 6-yard line and two plunges through the line put the oval across. Goal was not kicked and the game ended with McHenry's ball in the center of the field. Twice during the game McHenry was within scoring distance of the goal line, but tt seemed that they lacked the necessary pep to put the ball over. The fighting spirit of the Mc. H. S. was extra good.

Mr. Mills, who is employed in Janseen's garage at Round Lake, was cleaning the drill, when the gears accidently became engaged, and the sleeve of his overalls caught in the machine, and before the power could be cut off his clothes had become wound in the gears. Charges of obtaining money by means of a confidence game were dropped against Roy G. Williams of Waukegan after he had made full restitution to the Howell Clothing company of Woodstock, 111., who claimed that he had kept $42.50 which they had paid him on an order for advertising pencils. The settlement occured after the MicHenry county sheriff had arrived in Waukegan with tha? intention of taking Williams back to stand trial.

" Frank Meyer, a salesman for the Knox Motor Sales, was absent from his work the first of the week because of injuries sustained while in Wauconda on Saturday. Mr. Meyer was standing on a street corner in Wauconda when, much to his surprise, a big car rounded the corner at such a high rate of speed that it ran up onto the sidewalk, hitting Mr. Meyer and knocking out a brick in the building just back of him. The victim received several bruises as well as an injured leg. , Henry Weber, an employee at the McHenry Lumber company, received an injury to his foot about noon on Saturday when a block which he was trying to put under a truck turned over driving a spike into the top part of his foot. Charles and Harold Vycital, also, had a narrow escape from serious injury on Saturday morning while they were hunting at McCollum's lake. The boys were out on the lake in a boat feeling quite elated over their fine bag of mud hens when the accidental shot from a gun fired by a Chicago WORKMEN BUSY AT RESTOR PRELIMINARY WORK PROGRESSING CMHtaully Increasing Force of Labor Is Being Added As Fast ^ As Available ^ One of the busiest winters that Me* Henry has ever experienced is th«. prediction made by the management of the new McHenry Restorium, whicht is being erected on the souther?!"' boundary of this city.

Reports .of the treasurer, city clerk and city collector were also read and approved. Considerable time was taken up detectives to hire motor boats and purchase whiskey was out of the question. He said that in the June meeting of the board that State's Attorney Pouse was turned down on any further appropriations and that he didn't see where the state's attorney's office had any right to hire a detective agency to investigate the conditions of the county after the board turned him down. $7,000 Collected Supervisor Hale inquired as t© how much money had been turned into the county from fines collected from the informations filed by the state's attorney after the evidence had been procured by the McQueeny agency. The answer from the county clerk was $6,539.45 with some twenty-three liquor cases still pending in the county court. This information was to the effect that more money had already been collected in fines than the total of the bill presented by the agency In answer to all the questions Mr. McQueeny stated that he was hired j by State's Attorney Pouse and after; he had learned of the crooked worki going on in the county and the disappearance of the state's attorney that he went to Judge Shurtleff to see about whether he should continue with the work and that he was informed the best thing to do would be to present the matter to the federal authorities. In answer to questions why he didn't consult the chairman of the supervisors on the question he stated that detective work had to be performed in secrecy and that to present it to the board of supervisors would spoil the whole plan. Supervisor Harrison stated that he was instrumental in calling the meeting and that he did not do so in view &{ firing the detective agency or to shield others whom have been named in connection with the scandal, but to straighten up the whole affair and to try and do what is right.
