wonderful increase in the number of
members and of local societies and
unions in the United States, Canada,

toned the evils Of iptemperanee, and

to suppress the liquor traffic. At this
point DR.. Ewing made stirring speech,
in which he insisted that all good citi.
zens should attend the primary elections
and try to prevent the nomination of
liquor men as candidates for office. Miss

A Neat Capture OF Four Desperate
Characters,

Sheriff Westcott, accompanied by
Detective Carney and Constable Coles
and posse of five men, started out on
Friday night to arrest Clark johnson
and his brother, BERTHE, alias "Sankey"
johnson, two desperate characters, who
had been preyipg upon the farmers of the
county for some time. Several houses
were visited and searched, and the TWO
men at last located at the home of their
brother, William johnson, in Bushtown.
About 6 O'Clock Saturday morning as
Detective Carney entered the front door
of the house the two men made an
attempt to escape by rear entrance.
Finding this guarded they gave up with
out further struggle. They were wanted
upon charges of stealing chickens,
clothing and harness from different
Salem county farmers. The Johnsons
have been suspected for long time and
have given the officers much trouble.
Constable Coles was after the same men
several months ago for some robDeries
near Alloway, but they eluded
his grasp and took leg bail.
Clark, the Older of the two, has served
one term of six years in the State prison
and has repeatedly said that he would
never go to prison again alive. He has
also made threatening declarations
against the officer of the law who
should dare to attempt to arrest him.
They where brought to Woodstown and
given hearing before Mayor Richman and
Justice Holmes and in default of 5000
bail each, were committed to the county
Jail. The Johnsons are brothers to Al.
johnson, who fred several shots at Deteo
tive Carney few years ago and who
refused to surrender uutil no had been
shot by that officer.
