Settle Claim Against Sentinel For Sum Of '20,000 The McHenry County Con­ servation district has settled its claim against the Woodstock Daily Sentinel for $20,000. This claim arose from the inad­ vertence of the Sentinel to publish a district ordinance in accordance with instructions and requirements of the Illinois statutes. The Chicago law firm of Winston & Strawn, on behalf of the Sentinel, had appealed the Trial court's finding in favor of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway and other tax protestants. This appeal, despite having been brought in the spirit of community responsibility, was un­ successful. The attorneys for the district. Joslyn & Green, and the at­ torneys for the Sentinel recommended this settlement.
