A. Potter of St. Charles., The «ar,of the vintage of 1906 was degerfbed as the monarch of the roads, «$uipped with burnished brass trim mings and accessories. Today, the pa pars will tell of the return of the thief and his apology. The car was stolen by a boy who had escaped from the St. Charles School for Boys. The car was missing for some time, but was finally found in Joliet. Nothing was ever heard from the boy. New Year's Day a young, but gray-haired appeared in Dr. Potter's office and presented him with a box of cigars. He admitted that he was the bay that had stolen the car. Since t^at time, he told the surprised doctor, he had moved to Canada, had gone straight, reared a fine family, and was prospering. A business trip had » brought him to Chicago and he could not resist the temptation to see Dr. Potter and apologize for taking the Ford. While enjoying a skating party last week, on Sunday afternoon, Boy, Chester, Lee and Russell Gunderson, and E. M. McCloud, all of Chicago, had a thrilling experience and a narrow escape from drowning. The Gunderson boys, whose parents are prominent summer residents of Long Lake where they had a home on "The Island," McCloud and a friend, Robert Lee, were in the party. McCloud, who was behind the others, broke through the ice over an air hole and went down. When warned by spectators on shore of the plight of their companion, the Gunderson boys rushed back to his assistance. Roy, Chester and Lee, who were nearest McCloud, broke through the ice and fell into the water. Carl Gunderson then dived into VALLEY FEDERATION ORGANIZED FRIDAY Narris, St. diaries Capitalist,, Is Head of Temporary Organization Visitors, to the middle wast during the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 will find the Fox River Valley one of the beauty spots of the country, if the program of the new Fox Valley Federation is carried out.
