Bloomington, Ill.-Just at this time,
when the Thaw trial is attracting so
much attention, 1t is interesting to re-
call that town on the Springfield d.

east of here was named many years
ago after Jacob Thaw, the millionaire
father of the famous defendant. He
was heavy purchaser of the boSds
of the road and was honored by the
adoption of his name for one of the
new towns.
Shortly after the road was built the
Thaw family made an inspection tour.
The tour took place in the winter and
the train was stalled by snow. By a
curious coincidence the Thaw coach
stopped near the station, and when
the name was deserted from the win
dows there was much wonderment. A
path was shoveled from the train to
the depot and the party took refuge
there until relief came.
Rev. j. ID. McCaughrey, pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Streator,
was schoolmate of Harry Thaw at
Wooster, o., in 1887. He recalls that
young Thaw was always regarded as
something of freak" and as boy
who had been spoiled by indulgent pa
rents and not possessing very strong
character. He was bright, but not
