HUNT FOR RUNAWAY COUPLE
An information has been filed against H. Kolberg, one of the final inspectors of the Woodstock factory, who
last Sunday ran away with a Mrs. Piske, who is the wife of Mr. Kolberg's brother-in-law. Mr. Kolberg
left a wife and two children, and Mrs. Piske left her husband and five children. When last heard of the runaway
couple were in Batavia, Ill., but as Kolberg had very little money with him, it is not thought that they
will get very far. They left in a Ford car. State's Attorney Lumley has had Kolberg's wages attached and is on
the trail of the man, whom he expects to catch within a day or two. [Crystal Lake Herald 9 Oct 1919 - Contributed by Merton Sarvay]

We learn that some scoundrel entered the barn of Patrick Falen, who resides in the South part of this village,
one night last week, poisoned his horse and cut a young colt with a knife so badly that he will be entirely ruined.
Mr. Falen offers a reward of $50 for the detection of the villian. Any one who would do so dastardly an act deserves
to be punished in such a manner that it would prove a warning to others of like tendancies. [McHenry

The boys who ran those buggies in-to the creek on Saturday night are hereby notified that it will be for their
interest to call on the owner and settle matters and save further trouble. "A word to the wise is sufficient."
