The bright light®, . Cgjl&iPed medley of music and shouts, ferrig wheel and the monotonous of the calliope were all there to fill the milling crowds with the suppressed excitement of carnival time. Thousands of weekend merrymakers and citizens thronged the premises during the four days and nights of gaiety. The carnival proved a huge success and the weather was ideal. The local American Legion, Post Number 491, again put over one of those splendid Fourth of July carnivals for which it is famous. It was held on the familiar carnival grounds on the bank of Boone Creek in the center of the city. The carnival proved so popular that hundreds of people were turned away because of the lack of parking space on the streets and grounds.

Pierce. The case in question , is known as the "bull case." A suit was brought by Minnie l£ at the University of Oregon and the ^aP^e'administratrix of the estate of University of Minnesota, the latter being the speaker's alma mater. In his lecture, the speaker laid down the following seven points as important in a balanced safety educa INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS of the twenty-two week se;| ion, now tirely consumed by the flames, has the task of considering between j 250 and 300 measures rushed through ] in the session's closing days. One; hundred and seventy-eight of these bills were passed during the last minute jam'. Old timers could not remember that such, a staggering amount of work ever wils performed before in one day. Accomplishments of the session are headed by the passage of bills permitting women to serve on juries. This bill became effective last Saturday. Double Features Ban Voted Another measure would outlaw double features on motion picture theater programs. If the governor signs the Sundquist bill, the showing of films will be permitted to two hours and fifteen minutes. It was put forward as a health measuer to conserve feyesigtyt (now ^alleged to be strained by gassing at films for as long M four hours without interruption. Opponents say the bill is unconstitutional. The limitation, they contend, is comparable to a law preventing grocerts frfcm selling more than a dozen cans of tomatoes in a day. The $60,000,000 superhighway program was introduced early in the session, lagged for weeks, but rushed to passage in the final period. One of the last acts of the senate was to conloarned later by the court that Lietzel jdid not have an appointment.

CHARLES MERTES DIES AT ELGIN JULY 3 Death on Monday claimed the life of another of McHenry's loved and honored citizens. Mrs. Bertha Emily Mertesi. wife of Charles G. Mertea, died at $lgip July 3, after an illness of a year. . She was 47. years old, having been boni in this city on November 15, 1891. Her death brings sorrow to a large group of friends and relatives. She was a dutiful wife, kind mother >nd neighbor. Her primary interests were in her home but always she was willing to lend cheerful and loving assistance 9n "those about her need. The deceased was active in social and civic affairs of this city. She was a member of the First M. E. church and its Ladies' Aid, a past president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion, and a member of the Mothers' Club. Besides her husband, she is survived by two daughters .Marilyn and Charlene of McHenry: her mother, Mrs. Augusta Wolf of McHenry; two driving to his home in that city and plowed into the brick wall of the Grande Cleaners building." His car first swerved to the north, striking a telephone pole and then veered off on a diagonal across the a*en»e, crossed of an empty lot and smashed into the building, tearing a three-foot hole into the wall and wrecking a double door jam. The Cooper car, a heavy two-door coach, was badly damaged. The driver received a cut on the forehead and was taken tc his home where he was treated by a doctor. Gerald Donahue, 15 year old Huntley lad, Was seriously injured when struck by a truck on Route 20 near Route 72 last Monday afternoon. He was thrown ten feet in the air, breaking both legs above the knees and dislocating the left knee. His head, arms and shoulders were bruised. He was immediately taken to Sherman hospital .in Elgin capacity officially in connection with an alleged organization of the village of Lily Lake into a municipal corporation or otherwise. Given Hoar to Answer Attorney Irving S. Roth, one of the newly elected officials of the village and an associate of Attorney Lietzel, was given one hour to answer. He showed up in ail hour with an answer and a plea of justification for the incorporation of the village. Attorneys C.

In the previous genfor a quo warranto, filed a motion I eration, however, many persons died asking that the plea of justification be set aside in that it was Insufficient under the law. Another point raised by Attorney Roth was that the legislature in its final mintes of the just now closed session passed a validitating act, but Judge Pierce ruled that the act had no jurisdiction in the present case. Judge Pierce said that in view of Will C.

He had been unconscious since his admittance and was unable to reveal his identity. This makes Mr. Lovell's second unfortunate experience in Chicago, iSeveriil months ago he was making purchases in a loop store when it was held up by two masked men. He was forced under a counter and his life threatened at that time. Oliver Buckley, 15 year old Chicago lad, lost his life while swimming in Tower Lakes last Sunday afternoon.

Judge Pierce was quite provoked with Attorney Roth when he tried to make amends for the action of Attor of diseases which really were hazards of their less advanced form of living. Science, education and engineering eliminated those hasards- So can we eliminate the hazards of our generation if we set about it earnestly and scientifically and -- keep at it! LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND ORCHESTRA TO APPEAR J A**JTiIay ^ArnSlAY±0 d?3«Io8« too The AT THE FOX SATURD ! general doctrine Appears, according to her husband, George H. Hapke, against Wbrd T. Huston, asking $20,000 dam ages for the death of her husband. The suit was for alleged wrongful death. A jury in the circuit court returned a verdict of $5,000 in favor of Mrs Hapke. Attorney David R. Joslyn, representing Huston, moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and was granted same by Judge Pierte, Attacked by Bull The material facts in the case were that Mr. Hapke lost his life when he was attacked by the bull on the Huston farm near Cary which was operated by Mr. Hapke. The accident took place in September, 1936. The bull in question did not give any trouble nor manifested any bad temper until the spring of 1936. Up until that time Mr. Hapke's son had taken care of the animal. In the spring of 1936 the father took chargc of the bull and from that time on handled it himself. During th? summer of 1936 Mr. and Mrs. Hapke spoke to Mr. Brown about the ugly temper of the bull. Mr. Brown then bought a young bull and then he claimed he told Mr. Hapke to sell the old one. Whon Mr. Hapke decided to keep them both. Mr. Brown is claimed to have told Hapke that he should keep the old one tied up and watch him, carefully. Dies from Injuries On the morning the accident happened, the deceased had gone into the barn and released the bull and turned him out into the cowvard, whereupon the deceased tamed his back toward the bull to close the barn door. The bull struck him from behind, producing injuries from which he died. The deceased's son and Mrs. Hanke werv in the barn. They ran to Mr. Hapke's aid with pitchforks and the bull ran away. The appellant in this case, Mr3. Hapke, relied upon the rule of law that the keeping of an animal known to be vicious or likely to iniure other'«. is, of itself, such negligence as wal render the keeper liable in damages. The appellee, Huston, relied upon the rule that a landlord is not liable to a tenant for injuries caused by ugly or vicious animals where the tenanf has fuH knowledge of such characteristics. He claimed that before a tenant on shares can recover for injuries inflicted by a vicious bull, left oo a farm by the owner, he must show that such owner had knowledge of the animal's viciousness and failed M.

No Liability -- The decision also states ths on the morning in question, when th deceased released the bull from is stanchion in the barn and turned him out in the cowyard for service, he was acting wholly upon his own volition. It states he knew the characteristics in tact with a galaxy of "swing' stars^0f this animal, and so long as he was including his two sensational vocal- facing the bull with a pitchfork, he ists -- Sonny Woods and Midge Wil- was successful in handling it without liams.
