Mrs. McCauley has made her home In Woodstock until about two months ago, when she went to Waukegan to make her home with her daughter, Mrs.

Edward Day, who resides near Waukegan Park. For some weeks Mrs. Day had noticed that her mother, who was eighty years old, was losing her mind. Shortly after seven o'clock Wednesday night Mrs. McCauley disappeared from her daughter's home.

Mr. Day secured the services of city detectives, I. Lyons and C. E. Hicks, and the night was spent in searching the woods.

Thursday morning she was found near the tracks, her feet were bare and her appearance showed that she had been wandering around In the woods all night. At first the report was current that she had been run down by the train, but no marks were found on her body, and only one on the head, which it is thought she must have received from a fall. Engineer Kline and Conductor Condon, who were in charge of the work train, No. 526, discovered Mrs. McCauley by the tracks and "phoned to Waukegan for an am hulance.

It did not arrive, however, until after her death, which was a result of the excitement and exposure through whjch the aged woman had passed Wednesday night.

I Is to a Prospects continue to grow brighter that Woodstock will soon be favored with an electric railroad, uniting this city with Marengo, Union, Belvidere -or Sycamoro and DeKalb and other cities on the south and west.

Last week Hamilton Brown, tho president of the Elgin Belvidere Electric railroad company was In Woodstock, looking over the prospects for interesting our citizens in the building of a line from Union, to connect with the Elgin Belvidere line and become a part of that system. On Friday evening Mr. Brown met a number of prominent citizens In the office of George F. Rushton in the Church block and discussed his plans in a general way with them. No definite proposition was made at that time, Lut Mr.

Brown left with the understanding that he would he ready to make a proposition in a short time. Mr. Brown is now engaged In building a line from Marengo to Harvard, there connecting with the Harvard, Walworth and Fontana line, which his company has acquired by purchase. From Walworth Mr. Brown's company are building to Delavan, with a view of having through connections with lines now extending west from Milwaukee.

When these fines are completed it Is expected that the system will have complete transportation facilities from Milwaukee west as far as Freeport and south through Harvard and Marengo to Elgin, Aurora and Chicago. The Brown roads are the overhead electric trolley type, which is the general style of electric road be ing built throughout the I'nited States. The other proposition which is now Interested In Woodstock is what has been known for several years as the Woodstock Sycamore Traction company. This line has been referred to many times in these columns. For some time past they have been building from Sycamore north with Woodstock as their objective point.

Their line Is complete and in operation to Marengo. For several weeks the representatives of this company have been surveying and seeking the right of way between Marengo and Woodstock. Last Tuesday a group of gentlemen representing this company, led by Dr. C. G.

Lumley, the president, dropped into Woodstock arid in the evening met with a general turnout of citizens at the City Hall, to discuss their plans and make a proposition to our people. Mayor J. D. Donovan presided at the meeting, which was attended by from thirty-five to fifty citizens. Mr.

Lumley, who by the way Is a brother of Attorney V. S. Lumley of this city and a former resident of this county, was first Introduced and explained In detail what their company has accpmplished thus far and" what their hopes for the future are. He also explained that their road Is not an electric line, but Instead is operated by the use of gasoline cars, a much cheaper but entirely practical method of operation. The other gentlemen were also presented and discussed the company's plans.

Among them was Wallace Lumley, another McHenry county boy, and also a brother of Attorney Lumley. These gentlemen were prepared to make a proposition, which was that the people of Woodstock Invest not less than $20,000 in the bonds and otock of the company. In return for building the road to this city. This proposition was discussed at conslder-nble length, the traction people ap-peartag very anxious to have the matter settled at once. The sentiment of the meeting was very favorable toward accepting the proposition, providing it was found that the necessary funds could be raised among the Woodstock people.

But a number of those present favored waiting until Mr. Brown of the Elgin Belvidere company could be heard from again, as he had promised. It was learned that Mr. Brown expects to be in Woodstock some day the latter part of this week. Through a motion made by Judge Donnelly a committee consisting of Mayor Donovan, former Walters, Fremont Hoy, George L.

Murphy and E. C. Jewett, was then named to consider and investigate both propositions, with a view of bringing at least one of them to a successful conclusion.
