Woodstock Belvidere Republican, Thursday, June 27: Mrs. Mike Nihan of Maren­ go Went into the Channing saloon at that place last evening and fired twice at Bartender John Sheehan in an effort to kill him, charging him with selling liquor to her husband, who is on the blacklist. Both bullet* whizzed over Sheehan's head and he lost no time in finding deep place under the bar, where he was safe. Mrs. NihSti was seized by men in the place and taken out of the saloon, weeping hysterically. Later Sheehan swore out a warrant, for the arrest of Mrs. Nihan, and she was taken to Woodstock today. It appears that Nihan had been placed on the blacklist by his wife and that he secured liquor just the same. She accused Sheehan of sup­ plying him, and. securing a thirtv-two calibre revolver she went into the saloon ahd fired twice at Sheehan's head, but the recoil of the revolver threw the bullet over his head each time. TheTe is considerable excitement in Marengo over the affair, and while many condemn the woman there are others who defend her. It is reported that several wealthy women have gone to supply bail for her. Later. Vigorous prosecution of Mrs. Mike Nihan, Marengo's Carrie Nation, is planned by State's Attorney Joslyn of McHenry county as a result of the "shooting up" of the Walter Chan* ning saloon Wednesday night. Mrs. Nihan was given a preliminary hearing onaoharge of assault with a deadly weapon at Marengo last Thurs­ day and was bound over to the grand jury. She was released on bonds of $5,000 signed by "her brother on the promise that she be kept at the O'Brien home, near Woqdstock, until the grand jury convened. Walter Channing, owqer of the sa­ loon in which the shooting uccurred, denied that he had at any time been warned by Mrs, Nihan not to pell to her husband. He stated the shooting was entirely unoalled for. A report that wealthy members of the Marengo W. C. T. U. had inter­ ested themselves in behalf of Mrs. Nihan was denied by Mrs. W. C. Woodard, president of that organiza­ tion. She stated that the temperance union did not approve of Mrs. Nihan's action. According to Mr. Channing Thomas O'Brien, brother of Mrs. Nihan, who furnished her bond, has told Mr. Chan­ ning that he believed his sister insane and she should be taken care of.

Crystal Lake Herald: The head of the huge muscallonge found on the shore of Crystal Lake last week, by Thomas Bern son and Ed. Rose, has been prepared and mounted by Paul E. Bertram, local taxidermist, and in a couple of weeks will grace the walls of the Lake Shore House. The mus­ callonge is sometimes caiijed the Amer­ ican pike and is a habitant of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river. It is found only in very deep fresh water and the discovery of this fish in Crystal lake presupposes the conclu­ sion that there are great depths in this small body of water. Crystal Lake Herald: Francis Schlat­ ter, the "divine healer," who created a tremendous sensation in Chicago some years ago, anj} who claims to have "healed more afflicted people since Christ," is in Crystal Lake and was for a short time working for the Crystal Lake Granite Works. He is stopping at the LaPlant House. Schlat­ ter is shorn of his beard, but is easily recognized from photographs in his possession. Column after column of newspaper space was tjevpted some years ago to this unique personage and his peculiar views on religion. Schlatter had a colony of his own and ran a close second to the notorious See, The bodies of the four Harvard young men who were drowned at Del- avan Lake Sunday, June 9, have all been recovered after a hunt of two weeks. No trace of the bodies could be found by those in search during the first week and relatives of the victims thought there was not much to be done but hope that on the ninth day the bodies would come to the surface. On Thursday, the tenth day after the drowning, parties who were dragging the lake eaught the body of Edward Thompson on the grappling hooks and brought it to the surface. The follow­ ing day the body of Bert Hoi lister was recovered and the bodies of the tiro remaining victims, Melvin Norton *nd William Berg, were found Saturday. The bodies were found in about fifty feet of water, firmly imbedded in mud, and when released they rose instantly to the surface.

FUR £XTEft$0N TO CRYSTAL LAKE Wfli SPRINKLE WTTH Oft MOVEMENT TO niDUCE AURORA. ELGIN & CHICAGO ROAD TO EXTEND TROLLEY. Elgin Daily News, June 22: A move­ ment has been started to induce the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago railroad to extend its trolley line from Carpenters- ville to Algonquin and Crystal Lake. The proposition was launched this morning by the business men who took part in the trip >to up river towns yes­ terday for the purpose of inducing the latter to oome here and help Elgin celebrate the Fourth. These men are enthusiastic over the project. They are strongly impressed with the possibilities of trade exten­ sion that a trolley into the Crystal Lake section would offer. They feel that it would mean much not only to Elgin but also to the sections which the. road would traverse. Several of the men who went oh yesterday's trip talked the matter over with the business men in Algonquin and Crystal Lake. The latter appear­ ed more than willing to do what they could to further the project. They fully appreciate the value of rapid and frequent communication with Elgin and several expressed tlleir hope that the proposed extension could be made a reality. It was the generally expressed opin­ ion rfere t<5daV tJhat Biffin's business development would be greatly ad­ vanced by the opening up of such a territory thru trolley extension. It was the general fiope thiat the traction ooifi pany would consider the matter favorably. Just how the company will consider the? matter ts at present problematical. It is known, however, that the com­ pany is not enthusiastic over the prop­ osition. It is not expected, tho, that' it wouTcf refuse its cooperation if a' strong enough demand for the proposed' extension were in evidence. One thing at least is sure. *thoae who have launched the movement in­ tend to boost it to the limit. And in this boosting they ex'pect that the citi­ zens of both Algbfiqutn atid Crystal Lake will jolto. GIVE os Youi rfemr.

Two carloads of oil have been order­ ed and it is expected that the same will arrive here next week and the work of placing it upon our streets will start just as soon as it is here. Quite a number of the villages and cities in this part of the state have their streets oiled this year and in every instance this method of laying the dust has been successful. Crystal Lake and North Crystal Lake have had their streets oiled and residents of those two villages are well satisfied with the job ahd all are happy over the excellent results obtained. Here in McHenry the chief point of objection has been made by residents, who claim that the oil will stick to the soles of one's shoes and in that way the oil and grease will be carried into the house. This is a wrong im­ pression, as we are told by residents of villages where oil has been used that when properly applied it does not stick to the shoes and the streets are much cleaner than they are after a sprinkling with water. The fund with which the oil will be purchased has been subscribed and paid in by property owners and citi­ zens of the village. The village offi­ cials have consented to stand the cost of having the oil placed upon the streets. Whether or not the carloads will be sufficient to oil all the streets in Mc­ Henry we are unable to state, but those who have subscribed toward the payment of the oil are assured that highways along their property will be well cared for.

Jacob Anderson, well known resi dent of Crystal Lake, was working in Kis garden last Friday afternoon. In a nearby yard sat Richard Ryan, a •fourteen-year-old boy, who was using a rifle to shoot at the naughty birds which seemed to enjoy the delicious fruit fully as much as Richard him­ self. Young Ryan aimed too low, and the bullet intended to scare the birds struck Anderson in the groin, leaving a ghastly wound. Dr. W- M. Freeman was called to attend the seriously in­ jured man. He received prompt medi­ cal attention and it is believed that unless blood poisoning sets in--grave danger of which is admitted by the attending physician--he will recover. Ryan, was horror-stricken by the re­ sult of his shooting. He explained what he had been doing, and as a re­ sult of his straightforward story he was not arrested, there being no hint of evil intent. Alex Wokerfln was harvesting the ripe cherries from his well filled trees when a slip precipitated him to the ^ivuuu. rid WM piCauu up oud wlieu Dr. W. M.
