The “ oldest inhabitan t” can not rake up a story of the past w hich w ill equal the experience of the people of N orthern Illin o is . last Saturday night. From a tem perature of about 76 degrees in the afternoon the therm om etor indicated ten and twelve above Sunday m orning.
Saturday was an ideal sum m er day up until about four o’clock when dark, threatening clouds appeared in the west. It was only a matter of a short time be
fore one of the most severe rain and wind storms of the season passed over. Genoa was not in the direct path of the storm and
> escaped the d im a g e w hich befell in other locali ies. Barns were blown down and many sm aller buildings destroyed, while deaths are reported from various parts of the country.
The wind began to grow colder as the evening advanced, the rain changing to sleet and snow be
tween nine and ten o’clock.
W hen the people awoke in the m orning or were frozen out, they found that the gauze or poros knit looked rather thin.
T here was only one person in this lo cality who suffered as a result of the sudden change in the weather, and his suffering is due more to booze fighting than anything else. Charles Irv in e was found in one of the sheds of
W
the Tibbitts, Cam eron Lum ber Co. Sunday afternoon, having lain there about twenty-two hours, during the drench in g rain and in tense cold which followed. H e had been d rin k in g during the day and had craw led into the shed to escape the rain, or perhaps to pass the night. W hen found he was about done for, being nearly frozen stiff. H e was taken to the city hall where Dr. Robinson, as
sisted by several others, w orked over the man several hours in get
ting the frost from his system.
H is feet were frozen solid and w ill no doubt be left in a c r ip pled condition, but otherwise he w ill pu ll thru with nothing worse than a g u ilty conscience to bother him. T he victim is not a degen
erate, but a man who has seen better days, being intelligent and a good workm an. H e has been em ployed about Genoa for several years. Irv in e asserts that booze and he w ill be strangers in the future. H e has a brother and a son eleven years of age residing at Plano, 111 ., his wife having died some years ago.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
H e n ry Meyer, the thirteen year old son of M r. and Mrs. J.
George M eyer was instantly kill-, ed in the collapse of the barn on their faam two miles from Belvi- dere Saturday afternoon, the barn being blown down by a c y clo n ic wind which swept through that section.
The barn was alm ost totally destroyed, and nine cows were killed in the wreck. T here had been eighteen cows in a base
ment stable, where they were be
ing teed for the market, the other cows being still out in the field.
N eighbors who learned of the w recking of the barn hurried to the assistance of Mr. M eyer and nine of the cows were taker} out alive. I'he horses were kept in another part of the basement stable. The roof of the silo was blown away and has not been found.

B. B. Shot
H on. B. B S m iley is w inn in g fame all over northern Illin o is for his activity in changing the $20, 000,000 voted for waterway sys
tem to the im provem ent of the highways of the state. About every paper you p ick up seems to be spreading the idea and co m m ending Mr. Sm iley. T h e water
way money was voted on a pros
pect that the national g o vern ment would assist in the lake to the gulf proposition.
T here seems to be no im m ediate prospect to accom plish a n y thing along this line for the com mon good of the estate. That amount spent in fu rn ish in g ma
terial for hard roads in the state would be worth m illions a year to our people. Good roads w ill help every one. B. B. seems to have made a good shot.

FOUR BIG NIGHTS
A recent supreme court decision will, no doubt, as an exchange re
marks, result in the death of many vicious dogs. The decision was in a case where action had been brought to recover damages from the owner of a dog that barked and frightened the p la in tiff’s horse. The plaintiff was thrown and injured, and brought suit for $5,000 damages. The ju ry gave him a verdict for that amount and the owner of the dog appealed to the suprente court T he Suprem e court confirmed the verdict, and says in strong words that the owners of barking and vicious dogs are responsible for all damages caused by such dogs, and that the owners keep them at their own peril.

County Judge F ra n k M .Plain of A n ro ra has set a precedent in K ane county by granting a new trial because jurors slacked their thirst with w hiskey while d eliber
ating in the jury room. The bot
tle, according to attorneys, was passed around by an A u ro ra ju ry man.
T h e “ wet” ju ry sat in the case of M am ie M itchel of Chicago against Sotos Bros., confectionery dealers. A verdict of $1 was re
turned in favor of the plaintiff.
Judge Plain decided, however, that no ju ry could give a case just consideration while taking sociable drin ks out of a bottle of whiskey, so ordered a re-trial.
