Waukegan Gazette, " Friday, July 2: A cruise, such as was yesterday taken by James Hayes thru the legal highways and byways of Lake coun­ ty's courts, will probably never be Experienced by him in his twenty foot steam launch on Pistakee bay, when he came to this city, retained Attorney P. L. Jorgenson, and filed a suit of replevin against Sheriff Elvin J. Griffin, by which he seeks to prove right of ownership to the afore-mentioned craft. On October 15, 1914, Hayes pur­ chased the boat from one Frank Lew- C"' 'is paying $600 for it. He received a |f'C bill of sale for same and had it filed in the recorder's office.. After this •tv;fy sale took place the Pistakee Boat and Engine company secured a judgment against Lewis in the Chicago munici- f< y*.'! pal court for $292.30. This judgment was granted on March 12, 1915, a on June 31 this year the company, which H. A. Meyer is president, levied on the boat ! Not being in the mood to allow the craft to get out of his hands so easi- •J! • - 0 ' ly, Hayes came to Waukegan, consult- • ed his attorney and the suit to re- ' plevin was filed against the sheriff. Ths ownership of the boat will bs settled at the October term of the cir- coit court. ̂ Drowned in Pistakee The first fatality of the season occurred at Pistakee Bay at about .. two o'clock last Sunday afternoon, - i w^en Joseph Schelling of 2646 y :. Florence street, Chicago, lost his life The unfortunate man, with his vf, wife, had come from Chicago to spend the holidays at the cottage of his I&.-A brother, John, which is situated on the Michael Justen farm on the east ^ shore of the bay. H&; On Sunday afternoon he, with four Cf*L:' /others, started out on a fishing trip in a small power boat. When they i reached a point near the Busch cot- Ife tage, on the east side of the bay, where the water is from -twelve to ; fifteen feet deep, the occupants of pi/1. - the craft discovered that the boat , was leaking. The drowned man reached over for the water pump ' and just as he did so a huge white ' cap struck the side of the boat with such force as to upset the craft. f t" 1 No sooner had the boat upset be- .rfore Joe disappeared beneath the waters, niever again to come up. the drowned man, as well as Paul |;f ~ - t Frank and John Schelling, nephews of ^;, , Schwan and William Bischoff, all Chi- c^i^cans, saved themselves by grab­ bling onto the cork-filled seats carried in the boat, which also served as life preservers in causes of accidents of v this kind. / ' After floating around for several minutes the four were picked up by the Lady Busch, a launch owned by Mr. Busch, the St. Louis brewer. The body was later found by searchers and was taken to the un­ dertaking rooms of Jacob Justen at McHenry, where it was prepared for shipment. The body was sent to , Chicago on Monday. The deceased is survive^V by his widow.

Ine undersigned having been appointed of the last Will and Testament of [items Clipped Fraaa Tl|e Plaindealw Of Twenty-Five Year* Ago A small runaway on Monday morn­ ing created a riffle of excitement for a few minutes. No one was hurt.. The celebratoin at Ben Stilling's Pistake Bay, on the 4th was attended by a large crowd, and a general good time is reported. We learn that Mrs. C. V. Stevens has received the appointment of post mistress at West McHenry in place of her late husband. Died--At the home of John B. Blake in this village, on Satuday, July 6, 1890, of rheumatism of the heart, Miss Lizzie Hemmes, aged 15 years. The Fourth of July party at Grand hall, Parker house, was a success in every particular! One hundred and ninety-seven couples are reported as in attendance and report a grand time Mrs. Steph Smith, who resides east of this village, fell from a wagon in West McHenry on Saturday last and was quite severely injured, for a time it was feared fatall.y, but, she is now better and improving. Our police court had but two cases on the morning of the 5th. Jack Hart of Ringwood, who was fined $3 and costs, and Wm. Musgrove, who was fined $10 and costs. Drunk and disorderly was the charge. The annual Fourth of July party at the Riverside house on Friday evening last was attended by one hundred and fifty-nine couples, and was pronounced, by all in attendance, as one of the most enjoyable ever held at that popular dancing resort. The baseball game on the fourth between McHenry and Wauconda proved a very interesting game and resulted in a victory for McHenry by a score of 20 to 11, the home nine not playing the last half of the ninth inning. The game was fairly and impartially umpired by Mr. Smith of Lake county and, we believe to the entire satisfaction of both clubs. Mc­ Henry plays good ball and are, now anxiously awaiting for other worlds to conquer.. Village Dads Decide t* Mike Village Hall ImproVemfnt i Read The Plaindealer advertise­ ments.

Large Classes Confirmed Two large classes received the sac­ rament of confirmation at? St. Mary's and St. Patrick's churches here last Sunday. The confirmation services at St. Mary's were held at eleverf o'clock in the morning, Bishop P. J. Muldoon being present to confirm the large class, which had previously been prepared for the solemn occa? sion. In the afternoon the bishop, with the McHenry as well as the vis­ iting clergy, appeared at St. Pat­ rick's church, where another large, class received the sacrament. The bishop preached splendid sermons at each of the churches, which were lis­ tened to by large congregations. At noon the bishop and priests enjoyed a banquet at St. Mary's parsonage^ while a sumptuous repast was also served them at St. Patrick's parson­ age in the evening.' Later they en­ joyed a boat ride up the river. Everything considered, the day wat one of the most glorious in the an­ nals of church events in McHenry. Celebration at Johnsburg The Fourth of July celebration held at Columbia park, near the Johnsburg bridge, and given for the benefit of St. John's Catholic church of that place on Monday, proved a huge suc­ cess and was attended by a large crowd. The parade in the morning proved a big success, every business house as well as many private citi­ zens and farmers taking part in same. In fact, the parade feature surpassed all expectations. The sports and races in the afternoon were all lively contested affairs, while the spacious dance pavilion was crowded during the entire afternoon and evening. A neat sum was realized for the church as a result of the celebration. ~\K ifliiiiiss E N T R A L O P E R A H O U S E ^ -4 BOATLINE *' /r^ 18.00 1.40 6.00 .50 11.00 42.00 27.75 98.00 s U How making daily trips Bay and at 1(^(1. m. and 2:00 6. m I IU1KV1IU1 45.00 ITTLEST By Edward Peple- ; ̂ m.
