The management of. the ̂ baseball team desires tp express in this publio manner their sincere appreciation of the loyal and generous support to them prior to and carried to the limit on the 27th ult., with an enthusiasm that can­ not be questioned for loyalty. When we say management^ " let us impress upon th# public, the fans and the members of the teams that without them and their co-operation nothing could tyave been so completely accom­ plished. and let us add that once again this fact is proven, viz., "That in union there is strength," and let Us hope that in 1914 the team will come forth so equipped, regardless of who might be elected to supervise and manage, that the visiting teams may be unable to cope with our boys aid that we'll have the support of the fans so justly due. And now we realise that we owe much to the members of the Just Us club for tbeir untiring efforts in the beautiful hall decorations for this par­ ticular occasion. Such spirit, so spon­ taneous and voluntary on their part, we really find it difficult to fully ex­ press our appreciation. Suffice it to say that their kindness and support Will ever be remembered.' The only criticism we have to make is in reference to the East Troy-Mc­ Henry 10 to X poster so conspicious in the center of the hall. Surely it was a gloomy sight. We wonder who of the team it was most meant for, but have come to the conclusion that it looked decidedly bad for the manager. The shots that hit aft the shots that count. Since the funds contributed right­ fully belong to the people who gave so liberally, we feel it our duty to show the financial condition of the McHenry baseball club and therefore have pre­ pared a statement, and so far as known each and every }>ill has now been paid. We are also submitting a list of names, showing the various people who proved to be good supporters of the team. Thanking jrOU for your COHipSratioi), we lure, Very respectfully yours, - RICHARD B.

A bullet wound in the side of his head, together with a revolver con­ taining three empty chambers, was the only evidence as to the cause of his death. Some seemed to be of thp ^pinion that the deceased came to his death by his own hand, while others are sure that be was murdered. The deceased was born and raised in this village,, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Howe, who built and owned the old Tyler Howe block on Water street which was destroyed by fire six­ teen years ago the first of April last. He grew to manhood in this village and later on left for the west, where he remained some years. After re­ turning from the west he passed much of his time with the Hankins boys, who were at that time such prominent factors in the gambling game in Chi­ cago. "Boat" Howe, while a resident of this village, was ever in the public limelight and some of the old timers hever get thru telling of the "stunts" that he pulled off while a McHenryite.

APPOINTED TO ANOTHER CHAME The parishioners of St. Patrick's Catholic church were much surprised and deeply/-grieved*last Sunday morn­ ing when it was announced at both masses that their beloved pastor, Rev. D. Lehane, had been ordered to the Holy Cfoss parish at Batavia, 111. The announcement was read from the pul­ pit by the Passionist father who has had charge of St. Patrick's' church since the illness of Rev. D. Lehane. The latter is just up from a severe attack oT acute inflammatory rheuma­ tism and his doctor informs us that it will be several weeks before he will be able to attend to his duties. Bishop Muldoon has been notified as to Rev. Lehane's condition and for that reason it cannot be definitely decided when the McHenry pastor will leave for his new charge. The Plaindealer will have more to say regiarding the change in a later issue. WHAT PEOPLE ARE MM IR THIS VM^ LACE AND THE THWEtilATE VSCSOVV-- OTHER SHORT PARAGRAPHS. Butter Hnfcet.
