Jojra * Flusky has one of the largest and finest barns in McHenry county. It is 100x60 feet, with a nine fo6i base­ ment, and it was all completed insi4e of eight weeks from the time the first stick of timber was touched by the carpenters. This is owing to the push and steady application of its carpenters, Peter Rothermel, his son and his son- in-law. Miss Julia A.

' Some weeks ago a report was spread thruout Lake county and about the village of McHenry that Otto Muehr- ke, the former Fox Lake hotel man, was dead. A friend of Mr. Muehrke's on a recent visit to Lake county told some of the friends of the supposed dead man that Mr. Muehrke had re­ quested him to deny positively that he was dead. "Tell those people up in the lake country that I am very much ali ve and that I am working in the liquor department of Rothschild & Co., and that I'll be up and see them be­ fore long" was Mr. Muehrke's mes­ sage. How the story got started and how it was generally accepted as true is a mystery. It emanated from Fo* Lake, a resident of that place having stated that he had received word di­ rect from Chicago that Muehrke had died. Muehrke was for years pro­ prietor of what is now the Illinois hotel, Fox Lake, and was the origin­ ator of the famous game dinners which made the place famous. The fact that Muehrke's death wa^_ chronicled wa back in September and no denial eV came until this late date adds interest and some mystery to the whole matter. But, we'll all have to take Otto's word for it--that he's not a dead one yet al tho somebody tried to make him a pear so. He at least had the satisfac tion of reading his own obituary and found how much people thought of him. »t m UNITED STATES DEPOSITORY CAPITAL STOCK, $25,COO.
