Luman Thomas Hoy was born Oct. 28, 1850, on his father's farm in Alden township. He was the eldest son of Marmaduke Hoy, who settled in Alden in 1844, but who in 1865, having been elected county clerk of McHenry county, removed with his family to Wood- • stock, where he became prominent for many years as a merchant and banker.

He served as alderman from 1882 to 1884 and in 1887 was elected supervisor, in which capacity he served for sixteen years, as chair* man of the board of supervisors for a number of years.

San Perlita, Tex.--Hatred for the owners of the million acre King ranch near here, the world's largest cattle range, flamed, again among neighboring" ranchers when Fernandez Ramirez, aged Mexican guide, was found stabbed and shot to death near by. They linked the killing with the mysterious disappearance of Leo Blanton, a San Perlita farmer, and his son, John, Syho went into the vast rangeland to hunt ducks on Nov. 18. Although police officials could not connect the two tragedies, the citizens believe Ramirez, who often guided hunters on ranges near the King ranch, knew something about the Blantons, who were last seen going into the fenced land. A thousand cowboys and vaqueros, armed and under order to prevent poaching on the rich game preserve, ride the King range. Texas rangeris continued to search for the missing Blantons and scanned the skies for circling buzzards over, the vast range in hopes of locating them." The Blantons, on November 18, took shotguns arid walked about 500 yards onto the ranch property to hunt ducks at a lagoon. Mrs. Blanton said she heard three shots and later some dack feathers were found on the water. Near by were the tire prints of an automobile. The Blantons owned no car. Ranger Capt. Bill MacMurray, who heads the searchers, believes lhat the lost pair are dead, that they were killed and carried off the ranch. When no progress was made in finding the missing hunters, neighboring ranchers formed a posses and demanded entrance to the walled kingdom. There was talk of tearing down the fence. Residents have long been prejudiced against the King ranch management, which is owned by Robert, Richard, and Caesar Klegberg, because they are forbidden entrance to the ranch, and because of the mysterious disappearance of other men in recent years. A clash w£S averted when Gov. James V. Al'red of Texas directed Capt. MacMurray to allow tl e ranchers to search. They found no clews.

Phone 451-M. 52-tf Columbus, Ohio. -- Faced with death from starvation for more than five years, eight-yea^-old Wayne Roszman is approaching normalcy after undergoing 70 operations on his esophagus---all under general anesthetic. Wayne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Roszman, was playing in his home near Meeker, Ohio, when he found a can of lye. The tow-headed threeyear- old child swallowed several grains of corrosive. Fortunately the lye never reached the youngster's stomach, but lodged in the esophagus--the tube through which food passes from the mouth to the stomach. Doctors were unable to help Wayiie when scar tissue formed and constricted the esophagus just above the stomach entrance. The boy was unable to take nourishment and starvation seemed inevitable. Specialist Takes Charge. The parents hurried Wayne to Dr. Hugh G. Beatty of Columbus, ah expert in removing foreign objects from the throat' and bronchial tubes. Dr. Beatty used an esophagoscope to expand the lower part of the scarclogged channel and allow the boy to take liquid food. Describing the treatment he has performed 70 times for the youth, Dr. Beatty said he lowered a thin rubber - tipped rod through the esophagoscope--through which he could view the entire channel--and gently pushed through the constricted area until the opening was wide enough to permit passage of food. "Many adults receive the same operation Wayne does but never in all the years of my practice have I been compelled to administer a general anesthetic so often to one of his tender yea^s," the surgeon said. Forced to Use Ether. Dr. Beatty said he used ether as an anesthetic because Wayne's youth made him unable to relax and aid in the treatnient. According to the surgeon, Wayne will have undergone a record-breaking number of operations by the time he reaches maturity because it may be necessary to continue the treatments indefinitely. Despite a year of liquid diet and his many operations, the boy remains cheerful and active, leading a normal life. The lye-swallowing episode has not affected the youth's general health, although his school work has been retarded because of the frequent operations that require from two to five minutes. Wayne makes a trip to Columbus every four months now. At first weekly visits were necessary. The boy now eats almost all solid foods. Dog Covers Route With Mailman Pal 12 Years Albany, N. Y.--For 12 years Bill Gannon has had a helper on his mail route through a residential section of Albany. Each morning Chris, a fifteenyear- old shepherd dog, barks a greeting as the postman alights from a trolley car to start his daily walk. Chris used to trot about the route twice each day, but now he is content to walk slowly once around. The rest of the time he doses in the sun. It's a pleasing routine for Chris. First, there's a piece of candy from Gannon as they start out. Then a drink of water at a garage and a bark for a handout from a friendly butcher. A block away four pieces of fudge, cooked daily by Mrs. Mary Wynne, wait. Those pieces of fudge have been waiting for dog and postihsfn for almost 10 years. Chris is sntart. If he receives only three pieces, he won't go on until he receives the fourth. The unusual friendship started when Chris growled at Bill more than 12 years ago. The postman tried friendly tactics and the dog began walking part of the postman's route. In a year he was walking the entire route.
