From the September 9, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"William Pooler of Carlton was the only person to report to the police station that anything had been stolen yesterday during the celebration. He left his automobile standing out in front of a house on the corner of Third and Franklin streets, while he went uptown.
"When he returned he found that someone had taken his spare tire, his blanket and several other articles of value. He immediately notified the police and gave a good description of the property. The police are on the lookout but it is doubtful if the thieves will be apprehended."
Not sure what the celebration was. Probably Labor Day.
