TENTHANNUAL BANQUET •r TME IUBEKKY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI WAS BELD SATURDAY EVEMM The tenth annual banquet of the Mc­ Henry High School Alumni association took place at the Park hotel last Sat- Urday evening and from reports we should say that the banquet this year proved one of the most enjoyable ever held since the organization of the asso­ ciation. Landlord Gorman of the Park hotel did himself proud on this occasion and the sight that greeted the guests when they entered the dining room of the hotel was one that could not help but create an appetite. Tne tables, which extended the entire length of the din­ ing room into the parlor of the hotel, were very prettily arranged and most tastefully decorated. Covers were laid Tor seventy. The menu was as follows: Bouillon Croutons Baked White Fish Eg£ Sauce Chicken Fricassee Mashed Potatoes Green Peas Vegetable Salad Rice Croquettes Dinner Rolls Brown Bread Assorted Cakes Lemon Ice Coffee Candies After partaking of the elaborate ban­ quet, the following excellent program was listened to and immensely enjoyed by those gathered.

At a special meeting of ihe village board Wednesday, George Bingham, ex-game warden, was appointed mar­ shal and Edward Fichter, our new alderman who succeeded in defeating Reinhold Muench, was duly installed in office and is now a full fledged alder­ man for the village of Fox Lake. The McHenry County Independent Tele­ phone company made application for franchise to operate telephones in the village at the same meeting. Danny McNeil and Robert Daily, Chicago cabaret entertainers, are re­ galing the patrons of the Colonial with stirring ballads and laughter compell­ ing ragtime melodies that form a gen­ uine appeal for applause each evening, as the vibration from their vocal organs fill the 100 foot building to overflowing, escaping thru the doors and windows to mingle with the popping and snort­ ing of pleasure laden launches plowing their way thru Nippers ink lake. "Bob" Dailey, our noted singer who holds forth nightly at the Colonial casino, proved himself a hero Thurs­ day evening when he plunged Into the Waters of Nippersink lake and rescued two persons, who were in imminent danger of drowning. There is a nar­ row, turbulent creek connecting Nip­ persink and Pistakee lakes, which flows under the railroad bridge, main­ taining an exceedingly swift current. It seems that two persons, a man and woman, seated in a row bolt, were us­ ing this treacherous stream as a means of passing from one lake to the other and when they arrived at the bridge the boat suddenly shifted from its course, turning crosswise, dumping the occupants into the water, while the boat proceeded down the stream toward Pistakee lake. The man and woman had the' good fortune to be able to come in contact With the supports of the bridge, hanging on for dear life while the swiftly flowing water held their bodies almost in a perpendicular position. Mr. Daily succeeded in cap­ turing the boat and endeavored to row up the stream against the current and rescue the persons from their perilous position, but the boat being partly submerged promptly sank under his weight and he was compelled to swim to shore and enter the water from a position above the bridge and swim down to the persons tp be rescued. Grabbing the man he advised the woman to hang on to him and after a heroic struggle he finally towed them to the shore and received the congrat­ ulations of the awe stricken populace, wearing his honors very modestly, as becomes all real heroes. Bvrclar C»ta Warm ••captlmi Fox Lake is rapidly taking on met' ropoliun sir^ developing eno of fee distinctive adjuncts which is the pre­ rogative of all large cities, viz., an at­ tempted burglary by an amateur "Raf­ fles," which was frustrated by the in­ tended victim. Tuesday night about 10:30 Mr. and Mrs. Al. Branche, who reside in a dreamland of rusticity in the vicinity of Forest and Riverview avenues, were suddenly awakened from their peaceful slumbers by someone pounding on the front door in an effort to break into the building from that direction. Mr. Branche calmly re- pared to give the "yeggman" ^warm reception, inquiring of his wife with reference to disposition of the house­ hold artillery, consisting of a 44 caliber revolver and a Winchester- pump gun, while she crouched in terror and re­ mained on the verge of hysterics, forc­ ing her replies out thru quivering lips to the effect that the revolver was nbt available, having been left in Chicago. Laboring under suppressed excitement, she was finally able tos convey to him the information that the puinp gun re­ posed in an apartment up stairs, to which he proceeded with all speed possible, with a view of emptying the contents of the gun into the anatomy of the burglar while he was still en­ gaged in the nefarious occupation. To facilitate operations he made the mis­ take of lighting a lamp, which had the effect of frightening the burglar away, causing him to flee for safety into the dense underbrush and tangled forest in the immediate neighborhood. Mr. Branche ran out of the house for the purpose of heading the burglar off on Forest avenue, but was doomed to dis­ appointment, as that worthy remained concealed in the woods, refusing to display his body as a target for the excited man hunter. Mr. Branche, with a look of determination hovering over his countenance, suddenly plunged into the forest in an effort to dislodge his prey and challenge him to mortal combat, when a feminine voice smote the atmosphere in the vicinity of the front porch, shrieking the words tinged with melodrama, "There he goes, there he goes,*' at the same time pointing to the north about 100 yards distant, where a dark figure could be outlined as It flitted from, one clump of shrubbery to another. Mr. Branche, with lightning like rapidity, raised his gun and took aim, firing several shots at the retreating figure, but owing to the distance and ,semi-darkness the shots did not prove effective and the burglar made his escape.
