Frett FunferiMB OUy Battle Tueaday John R. Knox was elected mayor of the city of McHenry at the annual election Tuesday, April 16. For the third and'last time this month the people of McHenry went to the polls and expressed their choice of candidates running for office, with the result that John R. Knox won the election by 106 votes over his opponent, Peter Wtai. Frett, present mayor of the city. This was the only competition among the candidates, but it was sufficient to pull out a large vote in all three of the wards of the city. Mayor Frett carried his own ward by 31 votes, while Knox carried the other two wards by 68 votes in his own ward and 67 votes in the first ward. Messrs. Knox and Frett were opponents two years ago for the mayoralty when Mayor Fretl won the election by 50 votes and has discharged the affairs of the city to the best of his ability during his past term of office. Mr. Knox has been a member of the city council and is not untried in his efforts in the behalf of our city. Two New Aldermen There will be two new faceb-a* the council table this year, both being representatives of the third ward. Jacob Schaefer was elected in place of Robert J. Frisby and A1 Krausc was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John R. Knox, after a petition had been filed for his candidacy for mayor. Robert Weber was elected for treasurer to take the place of Gerald Carey and received a total of 368 votes, which was the largest number of votes received by any one candidate, Mr. Knox running a close second with a total of 358 votes. Many important and baffling problems will need & be adjusted during the coming year and it is up to the old aldermen as well as the new members elected to do seme real work in the interest of the people of McHenrv this year. file Coawtf,. ttcEfwr Webefr ..

Bill, as he is called, is not alone in the picture but is taken with an enticing young lady and a bicycle. In part the article relating to the picture says: "The reason for presenting Bill's picture is to tell the readers what a fine fellow he is and let them see for themselves that some ( one else feels the same way about! him. Bill enjoys nothing more than! bicycle riding along a country road, provided the road is smooth and clear of speeding automobiles. It is reported that he recently made a trip froqn Chicago to Kansas City via bicycl The reader may use his or her own discretion in accepting the statement that the young lady is one of the reasons why he went to Kansas City." ^ Mr. and Mrs. Schroedet of Richmond celebrated .their fiftieth wedding anniversary at a reception held at the Schroeder home en Tuesday, April 16.
