THEY DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT WAL
NUTS, YOU KNOW.
Two we'll known Long Hill young men
took a stroll up stepney way, Sunday,
and having convenient sized bag with
them stopped under a loaded hickory tree
to see what the nut crop was. They
were making fine progress when they
we're spied and put chase after. One of
the young men was captured and gave
up his booty, but the man who carried
the bag, after extricating himself from
barbed wire fence that nearly kept his
trousers on their sharp thongs, got away
