WEBER RESIGNSPASTORATE ^Ukjgfc?Q JOHNSWEG m - • - v 1915 - .-VH? ,.V.. % :5 Itliijr Accomplishments Recorded Dur- ;' fog Father Weber's Years ' of Work ; Rev, William Weber, pastor of St. I'S church at Johnsburg for the -Wst sixteen years, has resigned the jN&storate and left the ftrst part of lust week for Chicago, where he will retire from active work and make "his home with his sister for a year, at :t'i|ast. 1* . It has not yet been decided who will succeed Father Weber as pastor of the «hurch, the pulpit being filled last . .Sunday by a missionary priest. I A farewell party was given for | Father Weber by the members of his : parish before his departure, and many ! of them gathered at his home to spend • * last pleasant evening with him. En- ! ^rtainment and a program was prodded, with Dorothy Michels and Leroy Hetterman giving talks and the m<*m. hers of the parish presented Father Weber with vestments as a farewell gift. Pastor There 16 Team Father Weber has been the friend and counsellor of the members of his . parish for the past Sixteen years and has worked faithfully in their interests and for the welfare of the r^Shurch. /During the years that Father "'Weber has been at Johnsburg several outstanding events have taken place 111 the history of the beautiful church 7 gf which every parishoner is proud. •. On June 24 to June 26, 1927, St. Jbhn the Baptist's Parish jubilee took place which will long be remembered fcy the members, much of its success "being due to the efforts of Father "Weber. The jubilee was in celebration <of the eighty-fifth anniversary of the "founding of the parish and the silver : Jubilee celebration of the parish «hurch. Eighty-five years ago, in the then thinly settled Fox River valley iregion, St. John's parish first came Into existence and in 1842 mass was ^Irst offered in the presence of a few •- worshippers. Today, in the grand <J»urch which ranks in beauty amon<* 'the highest in its neighborhood, members and visitors attend services and tve listened to Father Weber's words wisdom and advice for many years. ~r Another event accomplished during father Weber's stay was the comple- 'fion of the grotto, which was erected . Ill October, 1920, to the memory of the Rev. H. Mehring, who was a former pastor of the church for twenty-five |^ears. .. . : Rev. Weber labored most zealously liver since coming to Johnsburg that the dream of the members of the congregation might be realized and to lum great credit is due for the building <rf the grotto, which is an exact repro- <lucton of the original and historical grotto at Loudres, France. ^ Just preceding the jubilee celebra- "Htlon the church was refinished and. decorated at a cost of $25,000 to $30,- 400 with'artists busy at the work for -eight months. The entire building was 3§one over from the ground to the top ,*tff the steeple, approximately 150 feet ' ^ligh, and everything on the interior . was redecorated by an artist of reputation. Four new crosses, made cf solid copper, the largest about eight Jbet in height, were placed on the building at that time. St. John's parish has about 150Jamlies which worship there. Took Charge In 1915 ^ . -V Rev. Weber came to Johnsburg cw January 28, 1915, from Lena, IU. In $925 and 1926 the parish paid on the church repairs the sum of $19,879.67 "besides the running expenses of the •dhurch. During the summer of 1928 Father Weber took an interesting three months tour through Europe, returning to Johnsburg in September. These are only a few of the bright «pots in the pastorate of Father Weber, i whose years of service in jfohnsburg have been eventful ones and have disclosed many improve- Wients and advancements in the dihurch and parish. RIOT AT SHORES OF LILY LAKE SUNDAY McHenry Deputy Sheiff, Phil Gutoto, Called To Help Settle Dispute George Bohr, McHenry police Magistrate, and Phil Guinto, McHenry deputy sheriff, were called to Lily Lake Sunday to settle a dispute when a score of Lily Lake boys and a Chicago man engaged in a riot on the banks of the lake and in the shallows off shore, over the right to a scow and it took the combined efforts of both police officials to bring about an adjustment of the difference. In th battle, John Tifford, 17 years old ,was knocked unconscious by Hans Puiniski, a cottager, who finally took refuge in the bullrushes and was surrounded and held by the angry boys until Guinto arrived. Before the riot started PuiiTiski was bathing in the lake. He saw the scow, claimed by the boys, some distance away, arid attempted to push it onto the part of he lake adjacent to the Lilymoor subdivision. The boys nearby, led by young Tifford, attempted to dissuade him, first by oratory and then by fists. Puiniski replied likewise and soon the waters were thrashed by flying arms and legs. Puiniski, a husky man, swung about him right willinglv, catching young Tifford a blow on the chm, which rendered him unconscious. Outnumbered and outflanked, the man beat a retreat and took refuge in the bullrushes that lined the shore. Spectators called Cyrus Sanford, sheriff of McHenry county, and Phil Guinto, deputy sheriff of this city, was dispatched to the scene. When ha arrived he found the battle still m progress. Without a warrant, he herded all of the combatants and tried to placate them. This was without result, so he took them to he magistrate's office, the latter adding his efforts in the interest of peace. The boys and their parents went into huddle and demanded the man be fined, and it took the deputy and the magistrate two hours to calm down the warring factions. Finally, all went home ftnd peace reigned again. COUNTY BOARD PUTS OK ON POOR BILLS Bilk Amount To .Nearly $2,500--Publishing Delinquent Tax List Costs $1,055.40 Poor bills continue to clog the records of Ahe county board of supervisors and also continue to reduce the amount of money in the county treasurer's office. Tuesday the board passed on poor bill* in the amount of $2400.30. This amount accumulated since the last meeting of the board held in June. The amount oi bills for fees, labor, and supplies amounted to $3,595.40 which was a little more than the poor bill total. In other words it took nearly as much money for poor bills as to operate the various offices of the court house during the put month. Some of the poor bills were as high as $300. Two funerals of $50 each were listed. One of the funerals was that of the "Black Knight'* who was shot to death by a railroad detective as he was entering the warehouses of the Northwestern near Algonquin. He was buried without being identified. The largest amount listed mi the fees, labor and supplies was a $1,- 055.40 Item for publishing the delinquent tax list. Several bills presented to this committee were tabled including a bill for expenses of bringing Frank (Red) McGee from Virginia to Woodstock and another for expenses of the sheriff in the Fox River Grove robbery. Several of the supervisors remarked Tuesday that if the poor bills continue to climb as they have in the past few years the eounty will be as poor as some of the people presenting claim*.

THREE DROWNINGS ; IN WE DAYS AI& YOUNG mien BUY - ^ • NONE LOCAIt V Otoe At McColl urn's Lake Sunday, One In River Tuesday Morning and Another at W onder Lake Three drownings in as many days the record-breaking toll of deaths in this vicinity ushered in with the month of July. As the warm days come more people take to the water and the number of casuat£es mount higher. The first drawing of the season in this vicinity occurred at McCollum's lake Sunday morning when Bruno Kutz, 36 years old, of Cicero, drowned in an effort to save his sister-in-law, Miss Martha Pawinski. The tragedy occurred on the north side of the lake at the McCollum's Lake Estates, a new subdivision opened last year by Chicago realty company. The lake, which lies just to the northwest of McHenry, has always been considered a safe place for bathers with its gradually sloping, sandy shores but at this particular location considerable dredging was accomplished last year and a beach made but in doing this a deep hole was made about fifty feet from shor more than fifteen feet deep find probably fifty feet wide and seventyfive flfet long. Mrs. Kutz, with her parents and brother and sister, who own a lot there, had come out to the lake to spend the Fourth and the week-end at the cottage of some friends and her husband came out Sunday morning to spend the day and return home with them at night. Kutz, with his bride of two months, her sister and brother were in swimming. At the time of the fatal accident Mr. and Mrs. Kutz had gotten into a boat while Miss Pawinski was wading out from the shore. When she was about fifty feet from shore, without warning, she suddenly stepped off into the deep hole left by the sand dredger. She screamed for help and at her cry for aid Kutz jumped in to rescue her. He was considered a good swim, mer but never reached the girl, going under almost immediately. The girl, who went under twice, was finally rescued by her brother, Stanley, who dragged her to shallow water. Other nearby swimmers began diving in an effort to find the body of Kutz, but when the search proved futile, grappling hooks were procured and in the course of an hour the body was recovered. Artificial respiration was used, the pulmotor was brought and a doctor summoned, but the victim showed no signs of reviving and the fight for life was finally abandoned. Deep Holes Should Be Marked The body was taken to the N. J. Justen & Son Undertaking establishment, where a coroner's inquest, conducted by Coroner E. H. Cook, was held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The jury composed of F. Spur, ling, N. J. Justen, Will Krause, Seth Richardson, P. M. Justen and Jack Walsh returned the verdict of accidental drowning while in bathing. It was the concensus of opinion of the jury, coroner and others at the inquest that all dangerous holes in the lakes and waters of this region should be marked in some manner so that bathers would receive warning of the impending danger, avoid the deep holes, and in this way many lives would be saved during the season. Many times a happy party out for a holiday in the country returns home only a few hours later saddened by the drowning of one of their number, death being caused by the victim getting into deep water or into a deep hole and drowning. This loss of life might be diminished to a great extent if the deep holes and treacherous places in the lakes were marked by buoys, ropes or other devices, discernible to the swimmers. Kutz, who was only 36 years and 13 days old, was born in Poland, and was the owner of a general merchandise store in Cicero. He had been mtarried only two ninths and his widow was grief stricken at his death. The body was taken to Chicago Sunday afternoon where it was thought the funeral would be held Wednesday, with burial at Joliet. Wonder Lake's First Victim Foster Knull, 19 years old, was drowned in Wonder Lake Tuesday evening about 7:30 o'clock as he was swimming with several companions. Knull has been working on the farm of Donald Stewart, five miles west of Wonder Lake, hear Hebron, for the past three months and with a crowd of young people went to the lake Tuesday evening, for a swim. They were on the west side of the lake near the pier and the drowning occurred in about eight feet of water. The lad was considered a good swimmer and the cause of the drowning will probably never be known. He was under water not more than seven minutes, according to reports, but when the body was taken ashore there was no sign of life. Artificial aid was given, a doctor was summoned and a pulmotor was brought from Woodstock, but no one came with it to operate it and because no one present knew how to use it the pulmotor was useless, and all hope of reviving the unconscious lad was abandoned. The b^dy was taken to Richmond, where the coroner's inquest was held Wednesday morning with a verdict of 0[ A Bumper Crop ]D |M 50RBV TtoUj All 1HE BOOMS ARE (XCUPIED NIGHT fl tfINC sue?* IfcHTW •mht • e;* ' * - - PASS APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR $43,998.77 Council In Session Monday Evening-- Order $21,075 Road Bontfc To Be Paid The regular meeting of the city council was held at the city hall Monday evening. Among other important business transacted the annual appropriation ordinance was passed for the amount of $49,998.77. Two road bonds for right-of-way on Route 20 were ordered to be paid, with interest, amounting to $21,075. Morris Taxman was present at the meeting and asked to be given until Oct. 1, 1930, to move his junk yard. J. W. North had compiled his audit of the books and read his annual report which took up considerable timo. The marshal was instructed to serve notice on everyone who had not yet procured their vehicle and dog ,!*-• censes.

The Dodge car, driven by Miss Rovena Marshall, skidded on the wet pavement and although travelling at a slow rate of speed it turned over into the ditch. Mrs. Marshall was taken to the Condell Memorial hospital at Libertyville, where it was found that she had a broken rib and other bruises. She returned to her home in this city the next day. The other occupants of the car received slight cuts and bruises, but were not badly injured. BUICK CAR STOLEN BUT FOUND SAME EVENING The Buick car owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Blake was stolen while they were at the carnival Saturday night. It was found the same evening on the outskirts of Richmond by Police Officer Otto Buchardt of Richmond, where it had run out of gas. The police officer questioned the three youths who occupied the car as the car had no license plates, he demanded that they produce a bill of sale. Unable to .show this he ordered them to drive to the village station. When the chief climbed into his car and started off, the boys took to their heels and fled across the fields. The car was turned over to its owner, John Blake, of McHenry. BAND CONC ERT There will be a band concert in the McHenry Park this evening by the McHenry Municipal Band and Tom Brown, singer. accidental drowning being returned by the jury. Knull was the son of Edward Knull and was born in Harvard. He is survived by his father, four brothers and two sisters. Burial will jprobabjf be at Walworth, Wis. . Drowns In Fox River The waters of Fox River claimed a victim in the second drowning of the season when McClinton Wallace of Chicago, 28 years old, drowned at Emerald Park, Tuesday morning about 9:30 o'clock. The young man, who is a native of North Dakota, had been working in Chicago since last fall and had made his home with the H. Bollin family of Maywood. It was with the Bollin family that he came to Emerald Park on Tuesday to visit for the day at the Carlson cottage. < During the forenoon he went in swimming and although he is said to have been a strong swimmer he was evidently seized with cramps and sank before help could reach him. The body was under water about half an hour when it was finally located by the use of grappling hooks and taken ashore, where the pulmotor was used but to no avail. Coroner E. H. Cook held an inquest at the Jacob Justen undertaking store on Tuesday and the body was shipped to the young man's home in North Dakota' oa Wednesday. CHILD IS INJURED BY FRIGHTENED PONY Lucille Steinedoerfer, 6 Years Has Narrow Escape Tuesday Afternoon Lucille Steinsdoerfer, 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Steinsdoerfer, of Griswold lake, narrowly escaped death Tuesday afternoon when she was dragged by a frightened pony she had been riding. The little girl was having a good time riding the pony around a field when the animal became frightened at something and started to run to the barn. The child could not control the pony and fell off, but her foot caught in a strap of the stirrup and she was dragged about 300 feet. The pony ran across the road, through the barnyard and into his stall in the barn, dragging the almost unconscious child, whose clothes were torn from her as she was pulled over the stones and rough ground. The mother who hurried to rescue the child thought that she was dead, but the little girl soon revived somewhat and was taken to a doctor, where it was found that no bones were broken, but her whole body is terribly bruised and sore, her ankle is stiff and lame an3 she received a cut across the head. Several teeth were also loosened and her mouth was sore and bruised. The little girl had a narrow escape, but is recovering nicely and has been CROWDS ATTEND M'HENRV CARNIVAL V • 1 4 GOOD ENTERTAINMENT I PROVIDED :%di ^ ' Pilot Fails Tb Shew tip With FW /? ^ works Display, But Show Is SW . • / ; • sented Next Evening ' A Record crowd of Fourth of Inly celebrants attended the carnival at Conway's park, east of^the river, on ^ the 154th anniversary of the nation** ,, independence, as well as on every evening that the carnival was in progress. The carnival was one of the biggest events ever staged in this city with^/s&p more ground space in use than ever * before and the vario*. business men: and others interested in the welfare^ is of the community worked faithfully tomake the affair a success. The proceeds of the carnival, as has been previously announced, will be( placed in a trust fund and when the fund reaches large enough propor--" tions to be an inducement, efforts will' be put forth to get a factory to lo-t £31 cate in McHenry. This is something that will benefit every citizen of the> community and it was doubtless with" this thought in mind that many went treated w.it.h. .te .ta nus serum_ to preven.t | *to,,1 1t he carnival a„n d gav»e* m.o re ch,e erlockjaw ]ful|y than they would have done Chicago Car Crashes Into Pole--Miss Caroline Regner Injured Near Johnsburg One drowning in Lake Geneva, another in McCollum's lake, an Aurora boy killed, several persons injured in a series of automobile accidents and numerous instances of persons being burned constitutes the Fox Valley region's Fourth of July accident toll, one of the lightest casualty lists in years. „ The only life lost in this vicinity was that of Bruno Kutz, who drowned at McCollum's lake on Sunday. With the exception of several automobile accidents little trouble was reported. Perhaps the most serious automobile accident in this locality occurred on the morning of the Fourth when a Chicago car, travelling at a high rate of speed, ran into a telephone pole on Route 20, east of the river, injuring the occupants of the car. An elderly couple with their son and daughter were occupants of the car, the older man driving. The car came over the hill at the Pit at a terrific speed and although the driver slowed up somewhat he lost£ontrol of the car which careened inter the ditch, striking a telephone pole. The two women were badly injured and were taken to the Woodstock hospital, where the older woman is suffering from a broken shoulder and other injuries and bruises. The young woman was taken to her home in Chicago after her wounds were dressed at the hospital. Injured Ten Years Ago The older woman had been in an automobile accident about ten years ago, at which time it was necessary to amputate both legs at the knees. The men were not badly hurt. The traffic over the week-end was exceedingly heavy and congested on all of the main highways around and through McHenry and with speeding and careless drivers accidents are inevitable. Miss Regner Injured Miss Caroline Regner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Regner, received a broken arm and other cuts and bruises in an automobile accident on the evening of the Fourth. The accident occurred on the Johnsburg road near the John A. Miller subdivision, as Miss Regner, accompanied by her little nephew and Miss Verona Amann was driving towards home. Her Graham-Paige roadster collided with a touring car as its driver was making a left-hand turn into a driveway of the subdivision. Miss Regner was thrown from the car and badly injured, while the others received only minor bruises. The car was also wrecked, the front part of the car receiving the greatest damage. Miss RegnerY sister and some friends arrived upon the scene soon after the accident happened and took the injured girl to a doctor. While trying to park at St. Mary's church Sunday morning the Buick car driven by John Kennebeck collided with a Ford car, each receiving a bent fender and the spare tire on the Buick being torn off. Mr. Kennebeck had stopped and had just started his car again to park it when he and the Ford car bumped. No one was injured. The total number of dead in America from celebrating the Fourth of July *-»as 178. Deaths due directly to fireworks totalled 12. The automobile took 81 lives and drownings claimed 57.

Inrcrp rrnurrfa rnnffrpanrwl pvArv m <rh . fell from the roof of the barn and struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious. The pulley that broke was in the rear of the barn and was swept with great force by the strength of the horses that were pulling on the hayfork and it was this great impact as the pulley sped through the barn that nearly killed the victim of the accident. - \ He sustained serious injuries, / Including a cut across his forehead which extends to his right ear, several fractured bones and broken jaw bones. Mr. Peet .was working in the hay large crowds congregated every night, Ti Spectacular Parachute Leaps The greatest thrill of the entire fes„ ! tivities was the parachute jumps from' / an airplane which were made every i afternoon. An expert jumper cam® / out from Chicago and gave not only '^ those inattendance at the carnival^ but residents of the entire city, a real.!'. < thrill as the plane soared to 1,500 feet' when he leaped into space with tha big parachute opening successfully and bringing him safely to his land*j%? -} ing place just across the road froi*'^' the carnival grounds.

At the present time there are not sufficient funds in the treasury to pay these claims and unless they are paid work will stop on the construction of the highway. v In several cases the grading com pany has already been stopped from working on parts of Route 173 and the property owners claim unless they get their monoy on their claims they will not let the grading company continue. The warrants will be issued and will bring 6 per cent interest. This method was used before in 1928 with success. Supervisor H. M. Turner of Hebron said Tuesday there are several claims which should have been paid before. He mentioned the fact that one farmer had to move his house and is still waiting for his claim money. The matter of paying the claims on Route 173 is what brought the resolution to use the gas tax money which was followed by a storm of protest from Supervisor Chas. Ackman of Coral. The resolution was tabled after the motion to issue warrants was passed. « As thgre is no landing field in thi# ' vicinity the plane with the parachut#^^ jumper took off from a nearby field^/ • the pilot returning there with th* ^ v plane after the jump had been made*.

These wereto have been fired from an airplane;^ this year and were expected to be something unusual and spectacular in| th line of fireworks. Well, everything would have worked out according to schedule if tfie airplane pilot, who was to come from Round Lake with the display, had not changed his mind at the last minute and decided that there were other skies more enticitig than those over the old Fox river. The following night, however, ' a fine display of fireworks was fired . from the ground with the program being concluded with the American: tag. chair plane and the Ferris wheel :'W LOT AUCTION WELL ATTENDED The lot auction in the first addition to Shalimar, north of McHenry, last Saturday was well attended.
