Police Report '
Saturday night the Huntley police were called to assist in a 3- ski and Bob Longo assisted the Al¬ gonquin. Patrolmen Andy Sychow¬ ski and Bob Longe assisted the Al¬ gonquin police and the McHenry County Sheriffs patrol in hand¬ ling the large congestion of traf¬ fic which backed up behind the 3- car accident. There was one fatal¬ ity and four injuries in this acci¬ dent which occurred at 8 p.m.
Mrs. Robert E. Lowe, 45, of Bon¬ nie Dundee Road, East Dundee, who was a passenger in her hus¬ band's car was killed when the car struck one being driven by Leonard Anderson of Des Plaines. The cars collided on Route 81, just north of Algonquin. This section of the road, at this point, is a 3- lane highway, 2 lanes for north¬ bound traffic and 1 lane for south¬ bound vehicles. Lowe, who was proceeding north, passed another northbound vehicle. At the same time, Anderson, who was driving southbound, crossed the double yellow line and collided head-on with the Lowe car.
Karen Lowe, 14, and Pamela, 14, also passengers in the Lowe car, were injured. Also injured were Leonard Anderson and his wife, Marlene. All of the injured were taken to Sherfnan hospital in El¬ gin. The body of Mrs. Lowe was taken to the Wait-Ross-Allinson Funeral Home in Algonquin where Coroner Theron Ehorn swore in a jury and ciKntintied an inquest.
At 11:30 pan. on Thursday, Aug. 15, the White's Vegetable stand lo¬ cated three miles east of Huntley, on the Algonquin Road, was set a- fire. The east side of the stand was

Fire At Emery Fartn
The Huntley Fire Department was called to extinguish a fire caused by lightning on the Doug¬ las Shanks' farm, occvipied by the Howard Emery family on the Square Barn Road, east of Hunt* ley. Lightning struck the large barn at approximately 6 o'clock in the evening on Friday, Aug. 16. OtjJservers passing by reported that lightning struck in the center of the barn, traveUng the entire length of the structure making a spectacular sight.
Norm Zimmerman of D & Z Transfer was first on the scene, followed by the Huntley Fire trucks. They were assisted by three other fire departments, those from East Dundee. Dundee-Rut¬ land, and Crystal Lake.
The fire started shortly after milking was 'Conopleted and all the animals fv*i« out of the bam. Firemen- Mfere hampered by a strong southwest wind which en¬ dangered nearby structures on the farm. The firemen were also hank-, pered by a blinding rain and halk storm. Water was sufiidied almost enthwly by Dew* MUk Company** bulk  milk  tankers. JSour or five
of these trucks were used, forming a shuttle service from the Hunt¬ ley Fire Station for the use of the three fire departments which had trticks at the scene. [Crystal Lake Fire Dept. brought a tanker. The fire departments were able to con! trol the fire and served a large garage at southern end of barn; the milk house, sheds, garages and equipment in the near vicinity were also saved by the work of the four fire departments.
The bam was filled with hay which burned throughout the night and the Huntley Fire De¬ partment remained to watch and check the fire, bringing its equip¬ ment back to HuMiey at 8 a.m. the next morning.
special word of thanks is offer¬ ed to the Dean Milk haulers, who supplied the majority of the water for this fire. The Harry Littte OH Company from Gilberts also brought ivater to the fire. As this reporter heard it said "Hunt¬ ley is very fortunate to have tfiese tankers available, since without water it is very dUficult to fight fires."
