New Sherlock Holmes.

Peterson, N. with the aid of
looking glass a local policeman has
achieved such clever detective work
that he can hardly be blamed for re-
garding himself as the Sherlock
Holmes of New Jersey.
Policeman David Gibson was getting
shave and ponderlng on little or moth
ing, when he beheld a vision of crime
reflected in the glass before him. He
was startled into acute professional
activity and zeal by the reflection of
two small boys just across the street in
the act Of feloniously abstracting a
horse blanket from beneath stoop.
When, furtively, they stole away
bearing the blanket between them. the
keen instinct which had aided Police
man Gibson to drag many malefactor
to his fate was instantly awakened.
Forgetting that the lather still adorned
his left cheek and chin, Cblivious of the
towel which still was tucked inside his
collar, and needless of the Italian bar
ber's frenzied cries for payment, the en-
terprising officer shadowed the youth
full offenders through street after
street, until atlength they entered Her
man Dolffner's Junk store, where they
sold the blanket for fifty cents.
Directly the nefarious transaction
was closed Gibson revealed himself in
all his half-shaved majesty, pounced
upon both man and boys and effected
their CAPTURE. Then he went back tc
the barber's and got the half shave
coming to him.

ACROSS THE ROOM
Kuntz was Thrown by the Lady Bar
tender.

There was trouble at the Arcade
saloon on Putnam street Sunday night;
and as a result Arthur Kuntz was lock-
ed up to get over drunk, and was al
lowed to appear before Mayor Sykes
Monday morning in Mayors Court.
Kuntz's condition when brought be-
fore the Mayor plainly indicated that
he had partaken too plentifully of that
which intoxicates, on the night before.
There were two stories presented by
two sides as is always the case.
John l.. Becker. the owner of the
saloCn, srwore out a warrant charging
Kuntz with burglary. Becker gave
Jennie Kendall, the female bartender's
story as follows: the female bartender,
after she had retired Sunday night,
heard at about 10 o'clock, some one try
the front door of the saloon, and short
ly after heard some one kick open the
back door and come in. She was
quickly in his presence and asked what
he wanted. He replied that he wanted
whisky.
"Tn give you whisky" returned her
ladyship, as she opened the front door
and threw him into Putnam street. At
this time Officer Putnam appeared and
took Kuntz to the city Jail.
Kuntz plead not guilty to the charge
of burglary
His story is that he had been keep
ing company with the woman during
the evening, and that when the
"booze" finally was exhausted and
there was no more in the saloon. he
started out to get some. When he re-
turned she had him locked out and ac-
cording to his story she had other com
pany. He resented the state of affairs
and forced his way through the door.
kuntz is brick layer; he was placed
under 5000 bond. in default of which
he was sent to Jail.
Such places as this are a constant
menace to the peace and interests OF
the city.
There is no law against anyone en-
ploying a female bartender. but the
Mayor will endeavor to give the case
such an airing as will show the actual
condition of affairs in the case.
