After gaining entrance to the bank by prying open, the door, the bandits bored a hole the vault door. It wtfs while boring the hole that tear gas wajtf-^eleased. The electric drill broke a with gas and the bandits were foreed to abandon their attempt. The Spring Grove Bank recently installed the tear gas and it more than proved its worth. More than $8,000 in money was contained in the vault and there is no doubt but what the bandits would have taken all the money had they gained entrance to the vault. \ Reports sl$ the bandits were experts Several milk cans of water were found in the bank. These cans had been stolen from farmers near Spring Grove. Just what the bauuits had anticipated in using the water »is baffling the authorities. A few years ago the Spring Grove bank was robbed.

FIRE THREATENS GARAGE Fire threatened the garage at the I Charles Unti home on Green street William M. -Carroll of Woodstock was elected to Jthe Illinois legislature by the people of the Eighth district Tuesday. At this writing it appears that Mr. Carroll has received the highest vote of any of the four candidates, although there are still a few precincts in Lake and Boone counties to hear from and the vote is close between Mr, Carroll and Representative Lyons of Lake 6wiijr tor te«t and second place. Thomas A. Bolger, the Democratic candidate, is also elected and Representative Lee McDonough, Republican candidate foe re-election, to defeated. With Carroll leading in votes received and Bolger in third place, Mc- Henrjr county will have two members in the next legislature, instead of none, as is the case at present. The vote on legislature was the first one counted in most of the precincts throughout the district. The McHfenry county vote shows that the people responded cordially to the call to give Mr. Carroll three votes. Likewise in Boone where the people have decided to oast their lot with McHenry in the election of a member to the legislature. In Lake county Mr. Bolger, the Democratic candidate, received a large vote, running far ahead of Carroll. This was expected by Carorll's friends and was only ofTset by the latter's large lead in McHenry and Boone counties. But the big Democratic vote In Lake county added to a good vote in McHenry county, placed Bolger in . the lead of McDonough, thus Lake county unexpectedly elected a McHenry county man for the legislature. t^was robbed of $150 on the night cf.

About 4 o'clock Monday afternoon a man driving a Ford sedan pulled up to the station and, ready, as usual, to give service, John Thompson came out with a word of greeting to wait on him. As Mr- Thompson started to walk towards the gas pumps the man jumped from the car and asked if there was a men's rest room at the place. As Mr. Thompson replied in the affirmative the bandit pulled a revolver and with an oath ordered his •ictim to "get in there quick." Mr. Thompson, at the point of the gun, was forced inside where he was ordered to stick up his hands while the fore any damage was done. robber searched his pockets obtaining about $32 in cash.

Mrs. Thompson, who was in the 'adjacent barbecue stand heard the car leave but thought nothing about it until she heard her husband call to her a few minutes later. She immediately ran to the filling station and unlocked the door, Mr. Thompson already having worked his hands loose from their bindings.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ENJOY BIG MEETING State Depnty Henlihan Pleases Large Audience At Council Meeting Thursday Evening One hundred and fifty members of the local council of the Knights of Columbus turned out to a big revival meeting last Thursday evening and returned home immensely pleased with the program that had been arranged for them- State Deputy Houlihan was the main attraction of the evening and delivered an address in old time manner, that held every one present spelL bound for thirty minutes. It is certainly a pleasure to listen to him talk, and there is no doubt, but that all those who heard him Thursday will welcome another opportunity to hear him. Brother Hackett of Chicago entertained the council with many songs of the present day and of the past. He also related his usual line of stories which provided the mirth for the evening. District Deputy Cooney gave a short talk for the good of the order, and made every one feel that he had plenty of thought behind his speech. Father OHRourke said a few words to the members and then the crowd attacked the splendid chicken dinner which had been prepared for them by the C. D. of A. members. Needless to say this left a pleasant remembrance with each and every member. Both Woodstock and Harvard councils were represented and pronounced the meeting a decided success, which is quite a tribute to the officers who are responsible for the preparation of such an "all-star" attraction. The officers wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended and who helped to make this meeting the success that it was, and especially the members of the Catholic Daughters of America who assisted in the preparation of the din if. Three McHenry Precincts Cast Heavy Democratic Vote--Lewis Gets 774 to McCormick's 255 Thomas A. Bolger, Democratic candidate from McHenry, was elected to the Illinois legislature by the people of the Eighth district, at the election Tuesday. He came in third in the race, in which Wm. Carroll, of Woodstock led with Richard Lyons, second. Bolger was given some loyal sup. port by the people of this locality, many of the Republicans voting a split ticket for the purpose of giving the home man their support. The two McHenry precincts gave Bolger the lead with a total of 1,523% votes in the three precincts. In the second precinct with its voting place at the city hall, Bolger deceived 563 votes to Carroll's 529 and Lyons 62, while in the third precinct with polls on Riverside Drive, Bolger received 750% votes to Carroll's 695% and Lyons 34%. In the first precnct with its voting place at Ringwood, Carroll was in the lead with 482% votes to Bolger's 210. Along with the entire county McHenry went Democratic this year, deserting the Republican candidate for United States senators Ruth Hanna McCormick, to give their support to James Hamilton Lewis. Mrs. McCormick received the largest number of votes in the second precinct with 122 to 258 for Lewis. In the first precinct Lewis received 181 and McCormick 81 and in the third precinct Lewis received 335 to 52 for McCormick. The third precinct went almost straight Democratic, with every Democratic candidate receiving the largest vote. In the other two precincts, however, the Republican candidates were in the lead, with the exception of the two instances above mentioned, in the vote for senator and represetative- • Alex Adams of McHenry, candidate on the Democratic ticket for county clerk, also received the support of his friends here, receiving a total of 519 votes in the three precincts to 436 for Woods. His lead was obtained in the third precinct, where he received 287 votes to 133 for Woods. Large Vote Cast The interest in the local candidates no doubt helped to bring out the large vote in this vicinity, the third precinct leading with 590 votes cast, the second precnct having 407 votes and the first precinct 291 ballots. McHenry voters in Tuesday's election, in common with voters throughout the state, expressed sentiment against the prohibition law, as dis closed in the balloting on the three questions ol*public policy. The proposition for conservation and forest preserves and public recre ation grounds was popular with the voters here as was the proposal to Teviue the law in regards to taxes and the proposal providing that women shall have the right to serve on juries. • The Republican voters of the April primary disappeared during the summer months, evidently, for at that time McHenry remained true to tradition and went Republican with only five Democratic votes in the second precinct to 448 Republican and even in the third ward had only 28 Democratic ballots to 509 Republican. The cause for the change of opinion of many of the voters are many and varied and it is useless to try and account for the change in opinion. Of course the Urge Democratic vote for state representative is due to the fact that many local people were vitally interested in the success of a local citizen, Thomas A. Bolger, while the causes for the change in opinion on the vote for senator are probably varied and will provide many a topic for discussion in the days to come. For the first time In many years McHenry will be represented in the state legislature. The man chosen for this position, Thomas A. Bolger, is a progressive farmer of this vicinity, betng interested in tfce chrfc af- Post, A. L, Sponsors Big rnivgl and Dance Tuesday « Tuesday, Nov. 11, is (Armistice Day. During the afternoon and evening of that day there's a place in McHenry which is going to be alive with people, hundreds of them, who will gather to be guests of the McHenry Post, American Legion, which is sponsoring a big "Red, White and Blue" cari\ival and dance at the Bridge Ball Room (formerly the Polly Prim), near the state bridge across the Fox River. The boys have made great preparations for this gala event. Most carni. vals are just, carnivals, but this one promises to be a super carnival. That is to be expected by the name, a "tRed, White and Blue" affair--patriotic in every respect. Numerous new ideas will be injected into the festivities. In fact, a real celebration is in store for alT who attend. Then in the evening, as an added enjoyment, the large "ballroom will be crowded with dancers, tripping around to the peppy music of Frankie Gans' Skylarks. This dance program has been arranged with the thought in mind to please the older people as well as the young and modern youths. There will be the favorite waltzes as well as the jazz varieties. So it makes no difference whether your hair is thin and gray or long and slicked back in a pompadour style, whether you enjoy the easy movements of the old-style dance or the snappy late models, you are bound to be pleased. The ex-service men are out to entertain. They know how, too. Past performances along this line is their guarantee to provide the good time promised C. D. I.

DOLLAR DAT, SATURDAY, IS A HUGE SUCCESS Dollar Day, an annual event, which took place in this city on Saturday, was a big success, according to merchants and customers, who all seem very well satisfied with the day's business and purchases- The sales of the day were much larger than those of the dollar day a year ago and some real bargains were obtained by the shoppers. Business opened bright and early on Saturday morning and many of the choicest bargains were gone before noon. Extra sales people and delivery men were employed tor the day and altogether, it was a busy day for McHenry.
