The republican caucus held in our village Saturday was the most exciting we have ever witnessed. There were 224 ballots cast; L.C. Price receiving 137 and A.J. Raymond 87, which gave Mr. Price the delegates from this town for support at the county convention at Grayslake, where he secured the nomination for county treasurer over Mr. Gridley of Waukegan, by a vote of 175 to 18. We feel proud of the distinction our townsman has attained by this nomination, which means his election, and with a man as capable as he, Wauconda will have no fear of any but a good record for her town during his term of office.
What might have proved a disastrous fire started in the dental office of L.E. Golding in the Hughes building, Saturday. Dr. Golding recently purchased a new gasolene furnace and while at work the gasolene in the glass receptacle overflowed to the floor and, evaporating, drew the blaze and almost instantly spread to about the building. M.W. Hughes occupies the rear of the room for furniture and it made good material for the fire. The alarm was sounded by the fire bell and the engine and hose cart were hurried to the scene, but the “bucket brigade” was doing effective work, and before the hose was laid the fire was nearly extinguished, but not until it had done about $150 in damage. Mr. Hughes figures his loss about $100, fully insured. Dr. Golding estimates his loss at about $30, with no insurance, and the damage to the building, owned by H. F. Hughes, will probably reach $20, which was not insured.
