School will open September 4, the day after Labor Day, at the Commun fty high school and the teachers have been hired and everything is in readi ness for another busy year at this in atitution of learning. A new approach has been made to the rear of the building, the showers lave been gone over and placed in good condition and some decorating has been done, which will be continued each year as opportunity permits. The janitor has been busy all summer working at the building and getting' everything in shipe-ahape order for the first day of school. The first date for registration has been set for Wednesday, Aug 29, which time the freshmen and sophomores will register, while on Thursday, Aug. 30, the juniors and seniors will register. More particulars as tg the hours of registration will be announced next week. Expect Large Enrollment It is expected that the coming year will be the largest school enrollment ever had at the local high school. There were eighty-two eighth grade HEADQUARTERS FOR OUTBOARD MOTORS Fefrt* ft Swinehart Open New Business On Riverside Drive, Featuring Boats and Motors The outboard motor boats are ^gaining in popularity in this locality and early this season headquarters for these boats was established in the Mat Weber building on Riverside Drive. Ferris & Swinehart are the proprietors of this new business established on the banks of Fo'x Riv r and they carry a full stock of the Elto outboard motors. They also have the Hooton boats and safety planes and the Century boats, including the Century Traveler, a family boat of solid mahogany, and carry a full line of parts and supplies for all makes of motors, as well as the •tern and bow lights. There are four models of the Elto motors. The super Elto Quad, which is not merely a racing machine, but a sturdy, dependable power plant, adopted to the most luxurious runabout performance; the super Elto speedster,, a new contender in the middleweight class of speed motor; the service twin, which is the ideal motor for family us« and everyday dependable service, and the new high speed Quad, which is even faster and is used for racing. Ole Evinrude, the father of the outboard motor, desigred and built the four great super Kltos and the wealth of knowledge accumulated by him in nearly two decades of pioneering and development has been used to safeguard an investment in the Elto motors. It was one of these boats, by the name of "Bill's Baby," piloted by Mr. Swinehart, that won the Karls Cup in - *V'\ * IP' & No. 11 S0Y SCOUTS RETURN FROM SUMMER CAMP M'HENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928 ROBBERS STAGE ANOTHER AT WEST M'HENRY Agcun Enter West Side Institution A bout Noon v. and Escape With $11*00912$ _ •x.

For ten years she was director of orchestras in Chicago and last year thest corner of the store, could get his gun and get to the front door the last two bandits were getting into the car and as they departed at a high rate of speed he emptied three or four' shots into the car as it sped down the street. He thought he saw one man drop as if he had been hit, but was not sure of it, although he was sure that he hit the car, much of the shot from the last discharge of the gun lodging in the Alexander Lumber yard. The car sped west across the railroad tracks, turned north at the McHenry Lumber company sheds and back onto Waukegan street and across the new bridge over the mill pond and east on Route 20, across the new river bridge. ' The big car, traveling at a seventymile an hour clip, was noticed as it sped through Lily Lake and Wauconda and turned east on>a dirt road leading in the general direction of Mundelein. Robbers* Car Goes East Chief of Police Jack Walsh, with John R. Knox in the latter's big Lincoln car, traced the bandit car as far as Wauconda before losing trace of it. As Officer Walsh and Mr. Knox sped along the road after the robbers at a rate of speed almost equaling that of the pursued car they would stop to inquire and found that the car had been observed as it sped over the country roads, avoiding the pavement as much as possible. The men crouched in the back of the car, two of them keeping watch in the rear with guns ready foT instant use, and those in the front seat crouching so low in the car that only the hands on the wheel ware discernible, sped the country roads until near Lynch's school house, where they, turned back on their trail and then uPon turned off and it was here that the trail was lost. They were also followed a short distance by Ed Nickels, •Tackpon and Lacy in the latter's car head to look around and was ordered by the guard to "get down," who also asked him if there were any guns around the place. He said he thought the Work of the bandits took not more than two or three minutes. ' Foes Touches Alarm Buzzer The robbery marked the third time that Floyd Foss has been compelled to look into the barrel of a bank robber's gun and he says much of the thrill of the first experience was gone at the third encounter and he is really beginning to get accustomed to it. He was at the cashier's window making out a deposit slip for Mr. Monear when he was ordered to "stick 'em up" and as he backed towards the burglar alarm button he dropped to his hands and knees, where he was able to touch the buzzer and give the alarm. He was in the bank at the time of the holdup in October, 1925, when C. W. Stenger was cashier and was assisting in the Spring Grove bank when it was held up in November, 1926. Harold Bacon was working near the first cashier's window and was unaware of anything unusual until he looked into a shotgun and received the order to "stick 'em up" and then to lie down on the floor. He said the gang was very noisy and seemed quite nervous when they first entered, but quieted down as they set to work. They shouted orders and commands and as Harold did not get far enough down onto the floor he was ordered to "get down" a second time, he silver could be heard as it hit the floor being scooped into the bags by the bandits, and the motor of the car could be heard running outside. Two Customers In Bank Earl Monear, who was making a deposit at the time, stood with his Wonderful Training Given To Boys For Two Weeks Which Is Enjoyed Thoroughly By Scouts The McHenry Boy Scouts who spent last week at the McHenry County Boy Scout camp at Pleasant Lake, Wis., returned home Sunday, and all reported a very happy week spent at the camp. The annual McHenry county camp, known as "Camp Bearfoot," opened at Pleasant Lake, Wis., on July 22 and lasts for .four weeks and is attended by a large number of Scouts from all over the county. Preparations were made this yehr, under the direction of County Scout Executive Ralph Tastad, to make the camping activities more interesting and to provide more comfortable accommodations and to make the camp life safer than ever before This year the Scouts slept on Simmons spring cots made more comfortable with 18-pound mattresses, and the tents were complete with floors.

The robbery only required a few alive, by the McHenry County Bankers' Federation. Bank Robbed in October, 19£5 The looting of the bank marks the second time in the past three years that bandit gangs have victimized the institution. On Oct. 24, 1925, a gang led by Jack White, a notorious Chicago police character, staged a robbery similar in detail to Monday's holdup and made away with currency totalling 118,775.29. White, arrested in Chicago, is now serving time for his part in the $90,000 International Harvester company pay roll robbery, and Eddie Cosgrove is in Joliet penitentiary, while other members of the gang have met with violent deaths at the hands of Chicago police. On Nov. 26, 1926, the Spring Grove State bank was looted of about $2,000, but the robbers were caught at Fox Lake before they could make a getaway. Rdbbers Mias $20,000 A complete checkup <yi the amount of loot obtained by the bandits shows the amount to be $11,009.19. In their haste they overlooked $20,000 in currency which was in a package lying on a table in the directors' room ready for shipment to Chicago. . The loss is completely * covered by insurance in the American Surety company of New York sold by Stoffel A in front of the door he began to think that he was it^. a ..rather precarious position if rescuers should &hoot into the bank from outside. He said he thought it was probably not more than five minutes from the time the bandits entered the door until they were back in their car again but that it seemed more like five hours to him. Mr. Monear sums his experience up with the remark "I'm glad to be alive with no bullet holes in me." Mat Laures, who had been in conversation with Gerald Carey, was about to leave the bank and was approaching the door, when the robbers rushed in and one of them held a gun in his face, commanding him to lie down on the floor, which he did. He did not get a good look at them as it all happened so quickly and the only thing left to do was to obey orders. It is believed that a solution of the sensational robbery will be reached before long as Sheriff Cyrus Sanford of Woodstock is working on several clues. Pick Up Suspect at Wanconda A foreigner was apprehended near Wauconda Monday afternoon when the automodile in which he was riding, a Pontiac, went into a ditch while traveling at a high rate of speed. Authorities 'questioned him closely and his evasive answers and different stories led to the belief that he was one of the members of the gang. A man's cap was found in the car and when questioned he said it belonged to his wife. At one time he said he was employed in Chicago, but investigation showed no such place of business as the address given and later he said he was going to meet his wife at a summer resort on one of the lakes. He was brought to the bank here but could not be identified positively, and was taken to the county jail at Wodstock whe:"e he will be held until thr one child and will, no doubt, move his: The same teachers will return to ac|monishing all in the bank to remain the loss and the insurance aduster family here soon.
