ROBBERS RUN DOWN.
Ihe Gang Caught Red Handed and Some
We're Landed in the Jail Wednesday

Night.
Colonel Charles Taylor, the short, thick
humorous Constable, of Fairton, made an
important capture Wednesday, and it is
quite probable that he has run to earth
gang that has been thieving in various
parts of this section.
1t was night before last that the farm of
George HI. Elmer was visited by thieves
and lot of corn, robe and blanket were
stolen. Then the party went to the home
OF James Elmer and secured lot of oats
and some tools. Mrs. Eliza Smith was
next visited, and seven of her choice
chickens were removed.
All these parties live within a half mile
OF Clark's pond. 1t was five o'clock We'd
nesday morning when the chickens were
stolens and Edward Starn noticed the
outht drive by his home after that hour.
Ihe crowd was in big market wagon
drawn by two horses, and whey they left
Fairton they went over the upper dam
road of Clark's pond.
When the people robbed learned of
their loss, they Immediately reported
the matter in Fairton and Constable
Taylor was put upon the trail. He was
accompanied by George and Chester
Elmer. The wagon was tracked over the
Gouldtown road and on to Woodruff,s s
Station. Then the thieves cutely made a
back track, coming back the same road
to the Mfllville pike and continuing in
the road to near the Dick farm. Then
the tracks went south and the constable
and his assistants drove in upon the gang
in their little settlement in the woods.
just as they were killing the last of the
seven chickens.
One of the men seeing the officers ap-
preaching dashed through the woods and
made his escape temporarily. The other
parties were rounded to, and an in
vestigation made. Some of the stolen
goods were in sight, but the officer was
| refused admission to the house without a
search warrant. Taylor Immediately
sent into Fairton for search warrant.
which was made out by Justice Noble
and sent to him.
There was stacks of stuff about the
place, and the evidence was strong that
it had been stolen. The whole crowd was
then packed into wagons and driven tc
Fairton, where Justice Noble gave them
preliminary hearings. They were all
committed to Jail. The prison registe,
shows the names to be William Gresto,
Mrs. Homes, Mrs. Tonnis, George
Oblesky, Mary Oblesky.
The gang seems to be Poland Jews.
They feign an ignorance of the English
language, and refuse to answer questions.
From what can be learned it is not
thought the officers have yet captured
those who did the actual stealing. Those
committed were charged with having
stolen goods in their possession.
Edward Starn brought word to Prose.
cutor Logue of the capture yesterday
afternoon. That gentleman had been i'm
portuned by many farmers to ferret out
the gang that had been going about the
country robbing them. He Immediately
dispatched Constable Lore to the place to
make Investigations.
1t is not unlikely that this is the par
ticular gang that has been carrying on
wholesale thieving operations.

For Embezzlement.

On Saturday Constable Lone placed
William H. Vanleer, of Deerfield, under
arrest, charged with embezzlement. The
trouble grows out of the settlement of the
accounts of the township of Deerfield,
Mr.. Vanleer having for years been it's
tax collector. and his final settlements
have not proven satisfactory. The charge
is for embezzlement in the sum of 1000.
He Immediately gave bail.

Received Assessments.

Many Bridgetonians owning property
at the seashore have received their tax
notices. Invariably the rate is high, in
some places, Wildwood for instance, be-
ing $3.50. But the valuation is placed at
low figure. This is done by the assess
ors to escape paying large share of the
county tax.

The Waikiki Road.

There is some very loud kick

the Waikiki road, which is only

The heavy traffic over the road is

cost ten times as much for re-
pairs as it would for daily sprin-

that additional hydrants have
been placed along the road, that
there is abundance of water for
sprinkling and he knows of no
reason why it should not be used.
