Freund as supervisor of the town of McHenry at Tuesday's election by vot­ ing him back into office by the largest majority ever given a candidate for a town office in the history of the town. Mr. Freund defeated his opponent, James C. Ladd of Ring wood, almost five to one in the McHenry precinct, while he also carried the Ringwood precinct almost two to one. The vote as registered in the two precincts was as follows: , RINGWOOD Total vote cast Total vote cast by men... Total vote cast by women Tfcor supervisor: Men Women Stephen H. Freund.

While most of the male voters predicted that Freund would win out over his oppo­ nent, we feel safe in saying that no I lieved-from his duties on April 1. one ever dreamed that his victory I is succeeded by Herbert Shea. would be so'overwhelming.

Perkins last Saturday night, the spread being served at exactly the midnight hour. The dining room presented a most pleasing appearance, the color scheme of red and white being carried out in a most effective and artistic manner. In. the center of the table was a huge bouquet of calla lilies, sug- gesiive of the Easter tide, while white and pink carnations indicated the placed for the- ladies and gentlemen, respectively. The favors were in the form of chanticleers and they were all crowing bravely at the dawn of the joyous Raster, The dinner was planned and served exclusively by the knights and was a complete surprise to the ladies. William Spencer acted as chef and was very ably assisted by Messrs James T. Perkins, F. E. Cobb, S. 5>. Giddings, J. C. Holly and M. L. Ott, who acted as tsible and scullery maids, with W. D. Wentworth as d^eoy. Al­ together it was an enjoyable affair, in which "tin Lizzie" also figured in the evening's fun, as she carried the rev elers to and from the sumptuous feast OCCURRED IN CENTERVH1E LAST SAT­ URDAY AFTERNOON of her patents, Mr. and' Mrs.* John Pint. .Mrs. Joe Arens, daughter, Lena, and Mn, Joe, of Leroy, Minn., are spend­ ing a couple of weeks as guests in the borne of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Smith, who reside east of town caucus. Thus the time was tco short for a thoro canvas and conse­ quently his defeat. As we have previously stated in the columns of The Plaindealer, Mr. Freund has proven himself a good, conserva­ tive servant for the people of the town of McHenry and the people in turn for this showed their appreciation by re­ turning him to office for another term. One of the big surprises of Tuesday's election was the large vote registered by the women. While it is true that the women made an excellent showing | of supervisors of Lake at the polls a year ago, they again dis­ played by their vote of last Tuesday that they still have the interests of the town at stake and that a large per cent of the women voters are willing to exercise the ballot rights that were given them last year. We are glad to see them take an in­ terest in village and town affairs and trust that this interest will grow with each election until every woman in the village and town is brought into the fold. 118 DANCE TICKEfS SOLD Nearly one hundred couples attended the Easter dancing party given by the ladies of St. Mary's Catholic church at Stoffel's hall on Monday evening of this week. All told, 115 dance tickets were disposed of, altho a number who purchased tickets in advance bought them merely to assist the good cause. A booth was erected in the south end of the hall, where the ladies served light refreshments to those desiring same. Moore's orchestra of Woodstock furnished delightful music and the event proved one grand success. With all bills paid the ladies will have a neat sum left, which, in a will- repay them for their Aime and trouble in putting on the event. s BITTEN BY DOG Olive Vasey, the eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Vasey, who reside about two and one-half niiiles southwest of town, on the Crys­ tal Lake road, was quite*severely bit­ ten by a dog on Tuesday of last week. The little girl was playing around the house when the accident happened. Without warning the dog suddenly sprang at her head, biting her in the mouth and then into her right arm. She was hurried to McHenry and into the office of Dr. D. G. Wells, where eight stitches were taken to plose up the face wound. At the present writ­ ing she is out of danger and getting along nicely. THANKS j I take this means of extending my, thanks and appreciation for the grati­ fying support tendered me by the vot­ ers of McHenry township at the polls on Tuesday, all of which is deeply ap­ preciated.

DOG NUISANCE AGAIN , Many complaints have been made recently regarding the large number of dogs running at large in the village. One of our old and highly respected citizens was bitten so severely a short time ago that for a time it was feared that the wound inflicted would prove serious, but prompt medical attention prevented this. We are told that many of these worthless curs are ownerless and that in a number of instances the owners of dogs don't do as much as pay a license. A thoro investigation will be made, it is said, and with this over the village is bound to be minus some of its pests. ' SPECIAL SATURDAY At Fay's 5 and 10 cent store, West McHenry.

THE LYRIC GLEE CLUB WILL APPEAR AT SCHOOL AUDITORIUM NEXT SATURDAY EVENING The Lyric Glee club will appear at the school auditorium on Saturday evening, April 10, as the last number of the season's entertainment course. This Is the club that failed to reach McHenry some time ago when dated on account of the storm blocking rail­ road travel. They made their appear­ ance in neighboring towns at that time and the committee has very glowing reports from persons who heard them, saying they were the best entertaining club they had heard for some time. The Lyric Glee club is an unusually desirable and entertaining attraction on account of their versatility and ex­ tensive repertoire of both singing and brass quartet selections. They have been under the employ of the U. S. government and had the honor of be­ ing the first American company to ap­ pear in the million dollar National theatre owned by the government of Panama, Movies at the Central Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Al­ ways a good program. "CLOTHES" AT THE CENTRAL The Famous Players will present the celebrated society drama, "Clothes," at the Central Thursday evening, April 15. Few dramas ever produced on the American stage have attained the con­ spicuous and sensational success of 'Clothes," formerly one of Grace George's greatest dramatic triumphs. Written by Avery Hopwood and Chan- ning Pollock, tjvo of the foremost dramatists of the day, it portrays in a ealistic manner the sham of society and the sincerity of the simple life which pride of clothes does not domi­ nate. fhe part made famous in the original stage presentation by Grace George is portrayed in the film by Charlotte Ives, one of the most clever ingenue leads of the American stage She forces the audience to follow every development of her pitiful love for clothes with poignant sympathy and interior MC BENGT NORDQUIST IS KNOCKED DOWN AND RUN OVER BY AUTOMOBILE AND DIES FROSS INJURIES SUSTAINED The first automobile fatality ever to occur in McHenry took place on our streets shortly after four o'clock last Saturday afternoon, the victim of the sad accident being our esteemed towns man and old time resident, Bengt Nordquist. The fatal accident coming just ex­ actly one year to the day after he was stricken with paralysis and his funeral coming three years to a day after his wife's death stakes the case quite singular. The accident, which resulted in the death of Mr. Nordquist about ten hours after its occurrence, happened on the cross walk leading from Frett's gro­ cery and market to C. Unti's ice cream parlor. Mr. Nordquist came down town some time during the afternoon for his weekly tonsorial work. He had left Smith's shop, crossing the street at the above mentioned place, when he was knocked down and run over by a high wheeled truck, owned and driven by Jacob Schaefer, a car­ penter of Johnsburgh. After being knocked down the left hind wheel of the machine passed over his head. Eye witnesses and others close at hand ran to the old man's as sistance, picking him up and carrying him into the office of Dr. D. G. Wells, where he was resuscitated and later on removed to his home. He lived until 2:30 o'clock on Sunday morning, April 4. Upon examination by the physicians in attendance it was found that the victim of this terrible accident suf­ fered scalp and flesh wounds about the head and body, five or more crushed ribs besides internal injuries. The inquest was conducted here Mon­ day afternoon, Qoroner Chas. C. Peck of Harvard directing same. A number of eye witnesses to the accident were examined as well as the driver, the testimony being about the same by all Mr. Schaefer testified that he was go­ ing north on Green street and had turned east on Elm when he struck Mr. Nordquist. He was on the left hand side of the road and accounted for this by saying that the nghfrhand side of the street was blockaded at the time, thus necessitating him to make a wide turn around the corner. He further testified that he was going at a rate of speed of about four miles per hour. The testimony of the other witnesses was along the same lines and at the close of the examination the jury re­ turned the following verdftf: We, the jury, find that Bengt Nord­ quist came to his death by being knocked down and run over, uninten­ tionally, by an automobile driven by Jacob Schaefer. Signed, DR. D. G. WELLS, Foreman. WM. J. SCHTTMACHER. JOHN HFCLMEIT. M. J. WALSH. F. J. KARGKS. JOHN F. FREUND. The accident is on£ of the saddest that has ever occurred in the village and the members of the deceased's family have the heartfelt sympathy of the public generally. No one feels mtire grieved over the fatality than does Mr. Schaefer, whose car caused the accident, and his fiiends and the public in general also sympa­ thize with hiin, as one can easily imag­ ine that his burden is a hard one to carry and one tlml will be his-for^the remainder of his days. Banft NtrdfuM Bengt Nordquist was born at Ham- sted, Sweden, on March 26, 1840, com­ ing to McHenry about forty-seven years ago. Previous to taking up his resi­ dence here he had worked in the shop of the Illinois Iron and Bolt Works at Carpentersville. When he first came to McHenry he went to work in the Richard Bishop wagon shop and later on worked in the blacksmith shop of William Tilton. In 1872 he entered into partnership with Anton Weber in the blacksmith and wagonmaking business. The busi ness was carried on under the firm name until the death of Mr. Weber about thirty years later. Mr. Nord­ quist then took over the business and continued therein until his retirement from real activity in 1910, making thir rs. Anna Byrd of McHenry and six grandchildren. The funeral took place from the Universalist church on Tuesday morn­ ing of this week, Rev. John 'Ratcliff officiating. Interment was made in the family lot in Woodland cemetery.

During his long residence in McHen­ ry the deceased had formed a wide acquaintance and few there were in the village and the surrounding coun­ try who did not know and cherish the acquaintance of "Henry" Nordquist, as be was familiarly known to every- one. Altho born and raised in far away Sweden, he was an American in every sense of the word. He was loyal to his adopted country, true to his friends and kind hearted and loving to his wife and family.
