C A DEEP MY8TEHY. Borff Karlo Bldred*# of SUclMMnd ' Toond West of Town. , Earle Eldredge, whosr body was found lying by the side of a spring creek, on the farm of George Harrison, who residea about five miles west of McHenry, murdered or was death caused by accident? This is a question that has materialized since the finding of the body about ten o'clock Tuesday morning. While the general opinion seems to vi , prevail that Eldredge came to his death r thru the accidental discharge of a re­ volver he was carrying, there are some who seem to think that he was the vic­ tim of fonl play. Mr. Eldredge, who is the game war­ den for McHenry county and a son of Hon. George W. Eldredge of Richmond, left his home early last Sunday morn­ ing to perform duties connected with his tofflce and incidentally look after his traps at the same time. When he left his home in Richmond he was accom­ panied by bis brother, Charles, of Chi­ cago, the latter having been left at Ringwood to take a train from there to Chicago.1 Not returning to his home in the evening members of his family and his friends became alarmed as to hie safety, fearing that some accident ^ay have befallen him. Early Monday &0rning telephone messages were sent ont broadcast, but without result A searching party was formed at once and set out to look for the missing man. After being out all day, traversing the country in general, his horse was found hitched to a tree on the Wheeler farm, abont five miles west of town. This was abont nine o'clock Monday even­ ing. His overcoat lay on the seat, which clearly indicated that he mnst be somewhere in the vicinity. The par­ ty continued its search until the mid­ night hour and it was again taken up early the next morning. Abont ten o'clock Tuesday morning the body of Eldredge was found lying by the side of one of his traps, which was set in the creek which flows east and west abont one hundred rods south­ west of D. T. Abbott's farm residence, the discovery having been made by W. P. Sherman sad Ota* B«sd of Rich­ mond. ThesigMl WM at once give* and before ten wbMtsa hftd elapsed the entire searching party, consisting of no less than thirty-five men, surrounded the lifeless form. When found, the body lay on the side of the bank with a pistol lying close to his head. One OLD RESIDENT IS GALLED It was Mr. Eldredge's custom to car­ ry his revolver in a holster attached to a belt which he wore around his body. The holster, it was found, had been torii from its fastening and lay at his feet. It appears to be the general sup­ position at this time that the victim had probably stumbled and in so doing his first thought was directed to his re­ volver, his hand, in grabbing the weapon, in some manner coming in M ~ C.

Acting upon the advice of Coroner Maxon of Harvard Marsha^ Walsh took the body to Richmond Tuesday noon, where the inquest will take place next Saturday. This inquest was postponed until this date to give the authorities more time to investigate into the evi­ dence. So far as we can learn there is no doubt in our mind but that the jury will return a verdict of accidental dis­ charge of the revolver being the direct came of death. The bullet which caused his death passed thru his heart and lodged in his left shonlder blade, the course of the bullet plainly indicat­ ing that he was shot from below. Mr. Eldredge has served the county as game warden for the past few years, and during his career in this capacity^ he has brought many a law breaker to' justice. He was a fearless young man, always performing his duties in a high­ ly efficient manner, thus winning the respect of every loyal citizen the county over. His sudden as well as mysterious death comes as a sad blow to his family and many relatives and friends thruout the county. His funeral will take place from his late home in &iclpo»d this (Thursday) afternoon. Blue Book Shoe*.

Poos--a Was Born In Kilkenny, Iro- U|n<I, .Time 8, 18SO, Coastoff to Thll Country Jnly 4, 18ft 1. Died, at McHenry, I1L, Feb. 19, 1907, Joanna Doherty, wife of James Doherty, aged 78 years, 8 months and 11 days. On Tuesday morning, Feb. 19, 1907, the beautiful spirit ot Mrs. Joanna Doherty left this earth to enter upon the higher joys of the life eternal. Tiie weary body having been racked with the pains of dissolution for years, during all this time received the most faithful and loving ministrations of husband, daughters and sons. Mrs. Doherty, nee Joanna McDonald, was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, Jnne 8, 1880, bfeing the youngest of a family of eight and the last to survive. She came to America July 4, 1851, and was mar­ ried to James Doherty at St. Patrick's church, Hartland, May 5, 1855. They settled on a farm west of here and there they labored for the interest of family and home, ever and always ready to extend charity, until four years ago, when they leased their farm to a son, purchased a home here and took np their permanent abode. To them were born seven ohildren, two of whom, Ellen and Mary, are de­ ceased. Those surviving are Bridget, Mary, William, James and Peter, all of whom were with her to give comfort and hope in her dying boor. Besides these and the bereaved husband she leaves eleven grandchildren who will grieve the loss of mother. As she loved her children and grandchildren, so they loved her, and she was never happier than when surrounded by her own. She was of a domestic type, thoroly devoted to her home, where neighbors and friends were received with open- heartedness and cordiality, and we mark well this trait in her charaoter. Her faith in the verities of the Cath­ olic relU^on was sincere and her loyalty to the teachings of the church of her choice was unshakable. Nothing could prevent hsr regular attendance at the mass on Sunday and other «srvioas of the church until the last two weeks, when the M BIness nmmsd to attack her, and tfc» her daughters and niece were in oonatant attendance and they had hoped that they might nurse her back to bar nsaal health, God in his nterey took her as a child of His, and the family can be comforted both with the thought that her sufferings are now ended and that her thoughts were of them rather than of herself, even ia the distress of her last moments. The funeral was held from St. Pat­ rick's church on Thursday morning, Feb. 21, where solemn high mass was celebrated by the Rev. Fr. Bourke, Rev. Gilmartin of Woodstock and Rev. Obrecht of St, Mary's church of this place acting aa deacon and subdeacon, Rev. Bourke, pastor, preaching the fu­ neral sermon. The remains were carried to the cem­ etery by the following pall bearers: Ed Knox, John Doherty, John, Micbael, Richard and Walter Walsh. Many relatives and friends from a distance came to pay their last respects to one who was always a friend of peace, and may, her soul now rest in ^ # Pflftfl. f M CABD OF THANKS.

A.? basket ball five came down from the north last Friday evening to meet onr high school boys in a return game. ^ It will be remembered that Our boys were given a sound drubbing the bands of the Badgers only a few weeks ago, when the locals were defeated by the Wisconsin team to the tone of 49 to to 31, the game having been pulled off at Lake Geneva. The Bting of defeat, which, by the way, was the first for the locals tt^is season, was still ringing in their ears when the whittle sounded thecall of the game Friday evening It Is useless to say that our boys were there with the goods, and Uiat they de­ livered them the score, 78 to 84, will prove beyond a doubt. There was sim­ ply nothing to it but McHenry. It<Would probably be well to mention that the visitors had among their num­ ber a university man who played center. This, however, did not hinder Larsen, the local center, in the least, as be more than held bis own with his fast oppo­ nent, By thd by, Larsen was at his best, and the way he would take the ball away from his opponent was al­ most laughable at times. Another bright staf of the evening was Gallaher, who made the greater part of the points for th® winners. His basket throws from the field were at times marvelous. All in all, McHenry has a team of which we may feel proud. Only two defeats are chalked up against them thus far this season, and if they contin­ ue to show the form they displayed last Friday night no team in this neck o' the woods can tally with them.

It's a pleasure to tell our readers abont a Cough Cure like Dr, Shoop's. For years Dr. Shoop has fought against the use of Opium, Chloroform or other unsafe ingredients commonly found in Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems, has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law recently enacted, for be has worked along similar lines many years. For nearly twenty years Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure containers have had a warning printed on them against Opium and other narcotic poisons. He has thus made it possible for mothers to protect their children by simply insisting on having Dr. Shoop s Cough Cure. Sold I, H, Patesch. .a; •*"' V QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

Social at the Riyeralde. j?be Washington social held last Thursday evening at the Riverside House under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church was a decided success in every way, socially, intellectually and financially. The Riverside is a model place to hold such social functions, and Mr. and Mrs. Inness are typical entertainers. They threw open their spacious rooms for the accommodation of all, and tastily dec­ orated the dining room in red, white and blue. As each guest entered the parlors he or she was given the name of some well known character of coloni­ al times or present date. This name was placed upon the back of the guest and the one wearing it was by ques­ tioning to guess whom he represented. We noticed among the names those of Washington, Lincoln, Dewey, Uncle Sam, Martha Washington, Pochahon- tas and others.

This request wafl quite generally complied with and if. proved quite an attractive feature of the evening. Noticeable among the costumes were those of Mr. and Mrs. Inness, who as George and Maftba Washington cordially greeted every new comer to their domain with a hearty hand shake. Another attractive feature of the social was the exhibition of artistic drawings by McHenry art­ ists. Each one drew upon a black­ board the representation of some song. We did not know before that we had in McHenry so many geniuses. Mr. Perry drew "Grandfather's Clock," and bore off the first prise. He was presented with the original hatchet with which Washington cut down his father's cher­ ry tree In the handle of the hatchet were deposited some of the cherries which George had not eaten. Miss Lucile Byrd carried away the second prise, illustrating "Oh, Promise Me," and received a small branch of the original cherry tree. The limb had been hollowed ont and inside were de­ posited the remainder of the cherries. The games of the evening were very amusing to the yonug people, and some who were not so young. The literary program of the evening consisted of music, recitations and songs. It was well rendered and enjoyed by all. The financial proceeds netted over thirty- two dollars above expenses. We went home by moonlight, for the supply of electricity failed us at midnight. The general verdict of all was: "What a splendid time we have had. We will go to a social there again, if we have a chance." The ladies of the Aid society extend their thanks to all who so gen­ erously helped them, especially to Mr. and Mrs. Inness for opening thei* house to the Aid society and in contributing in various other ways to the success of the social, and also to Mr. Miller for his donation of so many and such beautiful flowers.
