Her sister, Miss Margue­ rite Knox, who attended her, wore a black and white silk suit and panama hat witlh black and white kid trim­ ming. The groom had as his attend­ ant Walter Conway, a brother. Miss Dorothy Knox, also a sister to the bride, played Lohengrin's wedding march. Miss Knox is an exceptionally fine pianist and her rendition of the popular wedding march was performed in a most pleasing manner. After the words had been spoken that united the pair for life, nuptial low mass was celebrated, after which the bridal party, together with a large host of relatives and friends, were re­ ceived in the pleasant country home of the bride's parents, who reside a short distance south of town, where a wedding dinner and reception followed.

Mrs. John Niesen and Mrs. Mary Noonan did the catering, while the members of the Young Ladies' Sodal­ ity of St. Patrick's church, of which the bride is a member, assisted in serving the course dinner.

A linen necktie, worn by the suicide, wai used to commit the deed. The suicide was first seen In town on Friday morning of last week, when he stopped at different places in town and asked for work. He was seen wander­ ing about town all day. During the afternoon C. I. Aliendorf drove to town with a single rig. He hitched over on the West Side and when he went to get the outfit it was gone. After ma! ing a few hurried inquiries and te phone calls he was told that a Strang was seen driving out of town with h1 outfit. The stranger, when last see in McHenry, was headed for Johns- burgh, but this was about an hour be­ fore Mr. Aliendorf had discovered his loss. An automobile, carrying Mr. Aliendorf and two or three friends, was soon on the trail of the horse thief. After an hour's search their man was finally located in a saloon at Spring Grove. The Jiorse and buggy were found at the farm home of August Huff, who resides south of Spring Grove. According to Mr. Huff's story the stranger got out of the rig near his farm and then turned the horse loose. This is how he came in posses­ sion of the horse and buggy. At Spring Grove the stranger was invited to take a ride in the automo­ bile. At first he refused, but after some argument the man hunters finally induced him to aocompany them to Mc­ Henry, where he was placed under ar­ rest and locked up in the village jail The balance of the $tory is told in the first paragraph. On searching his person letters Were found that disclosed his identity. Word was at once sent to Chicago and an uncle came to McHenry tbe following day to claim the body. Hla remains were shipped to Chicago 01^ tbe even­ ing train on Monday. News of the suicide spread thru the village like wild dre. For an hour or more after Officer Newman made the discovery, the power house, in which the cells are located, was filled with curious spectators. In a statement to ft Plaindealftr re­ porter the deceased's uncle expressed very little surprise at the act of his nephew. He had evidently been look­ ing for just such a thing as that to happen, as he had anything but com­ plimentary remarks to inake about the suicide. John Hauff was unmarried and about thirty-eight years of age. He came to this country from Germany about four­ teen years ago and since that time he has not had a permanent home any­ where. The greater part of the past fourteen years was spent in Chicago, altho of late he has made his home at Spring Grove, where, it is said, he had been employed up to a short time ago. be had ai C.

The ladies' chance books will be raffled off. Suitable refresh­ ments will be served.
