NEARBY NEWS TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Two Harvard youngsters, one four and a half years old and the other one and a half years old, figured in a startling incident Friday afternoon of last week. The older lad, angered because the young boy cried when he took his kiddie car away from him, decided to drown him. He took him to the site of the old bridge, undressed him, stuffed the clothes in the timber, and carried the little fellow into the water. He planned to hit him over the head wi^h a rock 'and leave him in the water, but fled when frightened by passersby who stopped to rescue the young boy. Police officials did not press the case because of the youth of the boy concerned and his lack of understanding as to what was right or wrong. A portion of the jaw bone of some strange animal was recently discover ed on the John Hart farm, at Round Lake. Some ditching was beiifg done On the farm, and when about ten feet down, the piece of bone was uncovered. Mr. Hart, and others who saw the bone, state that it does not resemble the bones of any of the well known domesticated animals.' Michael Stein, 48 years old, of Arlington Heights, was asphyxiated by gas when he went to the rescue of* a 14-year-old neighbor boy who had previously been overcome by the gas when he descended into a well shaft to repair a pump motor last Sunday afternoon. Pulling to shore to empty their boat which was filling with rain water, members of a Kenosha Red Cross lifesaving crew last Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock discovered the body of William Johann, 27, Chicago, who was drowned in Lake Marie the preceding Saturday afternoon, when a squall overturned the small skiff from which he and two companions were fishiner. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carlson of Harvard, recent purchasers of the former Robert Beck farm in the Lawrence neighborhood of the owner, Orson Lewis, are held in the county jail at Woodstock, charged with defrauding two banks, one at Belvidere, of $2,600 through a double mortgage scheme. The Barrington High school orchestra, under the direction of W, N. Sears will travel to Indianapolis, Ind., Thursday, May 18, where it will seek to annex its second consecutive national title, having won the honor at Columbus, Ohio, last year. Spring was in the air and Harry Hanke's thoughts were equally carefree as he stepped into a car parked in front of Small's tavern at Route 54 and Grass Lake road last Sunday and drove away. But he was brought back to earth abruptly when Russell Fields, Fikeville, owner fo the car, and James Snyder, Chicago, gave chase in Snyder's car and stopped his musings, and his ride. It was all a mistake, said Hanke. He had parked his car in front of the tavern, he explained, and afterward absent-mindedly got into Field's automobile. The 3:15 inches of rain that fell within the space of seven hours in Barrington Monday evening of last week was the highest in six years. Many basements in the city were flooded. ^ Mrs. Mary Bowman burned her right arm very severely last Monday morn- MOTHER'S DAT ANNUAL BANQUET HELD MONDAY EVENING AT BIOKLER'S The Catholic Daughters of America made annual observance of Mother's Day Monday evening with a banquet at Bickler's Hotel.

O'Rourke, chaplain, as speaker of the evening. He spoke of the glories of motherhood and the reverence and love due each mother He went on to say that one day alone should not be hers, but every day. Following Fr. OTlourke's talk, the Adams Brothers and Miss Evelyn Anderson entertained with song and guitar arrangements appropriate for the occasion.

ANTIOCH MAN HELD AT WOODSTOC& ON CHARGE OF LARCENY August Hanke of Antioch was taken into custody last week by Sheriff Eldinger and his deputy, Harold Reese on a charge of larceny in connection with 'the stealing of seventeen chickent from Charels Jonker of Johnsburg. Two others charged with the same offense in the warrant against Hanke were confined in the Wftukegan jail. One, Theo.

The other is a brother of Hanke, Harry, who waa stiH in the custody of Lake county officials. " .

Louis Meitus, Chicago lumberman, recently purchased a number of elephants, ponies, lions and most of the equipment from a bankrupt circus, and now stages free circuses for children of the city.
