Charles had remained for a visit when he was taken ill with measles and his mother came to care r MAYOR KNOX REPLIES In last week's issue of this paper I note a sarcastic card of thanks to the mayor and associates for removing his "most decorative" post from Elm street. No doubt there may be a number of people in McHenry who do not know that Mr. Sohm a short time ago purchased property in the city of McHenry on the river bank tm Elm street, south of the new bridge and immediately proceeded to grab and fence in a street that had been used by the public for fifty-eight years. Mr. Sohm's reference to ,his post makes the writer think of tjie southern darkey who had been t&ken into court several times for taking things that did not belong to him. One day when Rastus was up before the court the judge asked him what the charges were. Rastus answered that he was up for stealing a rope. The judge asked him why he had taken a rope that did not belong to him. Rastus squirmed and stuttered and at last said: "Well, ju^ge, I. will tell you all about it. There was a cow on the end of that rope when I stole it." Now, Mr. Sohm did not take the public into his confidence and tell them that he had a fence built straight across Elm' street from his property line to the bridge and that his post was only there to help hold it up. Mr. Sohm also forgot to mention that he had several more posts driven and a fence constructed in the middle of Elm street and running to the water's edge. No doubt it also slipped his mind to mention that he partitioned off part of Elm street under the approach of the bridge to be used as a garage. To make a long story short, Mr. Sohm took possession of and fenced off all of the south side of Elm street in front of his property except the part occupied by the bridge approach. The city council took up the matter of Mr. Sohm obstructing a public street and decided that inasmuch ss Elm street belonged to the public that the public should have the use of it and not be obliged to open any of Mr. Sohm's gates or crawl over any of his fences to get onto, property that the public owns. Mr. Sohm had orders from our city attorney in writing on June 25th to remove his obstructions and when he ignored the order the obstructions wpe removed under orders from the city council and no apologies are in order from anyone for the action takeft. I have been informed that Mr. Sohm still insists that he is going to fence off Elm street. I want now to give him a warning that if he does, the city council may say something with indictments and not "with flow- FOR SALE--Fast motor boat; beautiful lines; 50-hp.; 6-cyl. motor; Bosch mag.; mahogany trim; seats 7; $475 takes it.

Thinking no harm, I placed a wire fence under the cement bridge on Elm street simply to avoid immoral habits. Objection to same would be an act of insanity, but the authorities in charge could not see it in the right light, hence the wrecking crew got busy and destroyed same. 2nd--My gate post covered a space 18x18 in., located on a so-called stub end street, 19 feet wide. The gates were left open day and night for public purposes. 3rd--From a health standpoint, without permission, under the bridge I was obliged to fill in a large hole to avoid disease. Further the entire Btub end street w*s graveled at my expense. Also built container wall facing river, 19 ft. wide. Why not destroy wall and remove gravel from street ^ 4th--To make the city beautiful impossible. It's a foregone conclusion for any city or town to prosper under BiMih Mtinn OTTO F. SOHM.

While yet a small child his parents came to Chicago where he grew to manhood. It was during his sojournment there that he witnessed the city's most terrible conflagration, the Chicago fire.

Four years later, Mr. Hopper rented the Crane farm near Spring Grove on which another four years of hard labor was given. Finally the present farm homestead near Barnard's Mill was purchased i*nd it was there that he remained until he moved to hie late home in Ringwood in 1918. Here he lived until the time of his death.
