ness and work for another for
nothing and board himself?
Jerry Greening was in town Mon
day with some game. It was little
black Pike county bear.
The old saying "In the midst OF
life we are in death " is brought to
our minds more forcibly than ever
by the tragedy enacted over in
Sandyston township ore week ago.
It is only to be hoped that the guilty
party will be spprehended. Jersey
Justice will do the rest.
By the decision Of the Supreme
court rendered in the Hazen case
the Blooming Grove Park Assooia-
ton gets a pretty good set back.
Will Hazen has been compelled to
walk with a cane the past week.
Lumbago, pleurisY or rheumatics
are complaints no one likes to be
afflicted with.
As the road to Jersey is good now
and moonlight nights are here the
Milford crowd is ready to go across
the river after a chicken pie supper.

About all our summer visitors
have returned to their city homes.
There used to be quite an influx OF
city gents who came here to spend
their money trying to shoot some
game, but the new laws requiring a
license and prohibiting the removal
of game out of the state has stopped
that.
Before another Press is issued the
election will have been decided, and
as usual the fellow who gets the
most votes will be elected.

JUSTICES Summons

Since the act of 1901 considerably
more care is required in serving
summons Issued by a justice than
previously. It has always been held
that the summons must name the
township in which the Office Of the
justice is, aud, where a borough is
divided into wards, the particular
ward. Service by reading, formerly
was sufficient, now a true and attest
ed copy must be given defendant by
the constable serving. The summons
therefore should designate the town
ship in which the Office is, and a
copy endorsed by the constable,
"a true copy" attest, A. B. Con-
stable, handed to the defendant. II
this is not done at the time of making
a personal service the justice has nc
Jurisdiction, and a judgment entered
thereon without an appearance by
defendant will be reversed.

county commissioners gave notice
that they would not be responsible
for the pay, but the sheriff directed
the watch to remain, believing it

ing persisted in their refusal to pay,

pay the costs of the suit and dis
continue it. This was denIed by
plaintiffs and the jury found in their
favor for the costs.

shortly after seven O'Clock oonvers-

buckshot, the first of which took

Mr.. Bevans wounding him in the
nose and arm. Mr.. Bevans though
badly injured was able TO walk to
the telephone and call up a neighbor,
who lived near by, and announce to
him that both himself and wife
we're shot. The news spread rapid.

soon arrived and a large crowd from
the surrounding country was soon
on the ground.
Since then pursuit has been active
and last Sunday two great Danes
from this place were taken to the
Bevans house. Tracks which ap-
peared near the window where the
assassin must have stood when he
fired the shots, had been carefully
guarded from being effaoed and to
these the Danes we're taken. They
circled around the house, took the
scent and followed it across a
meadow and through a swamp to a
house some distance away and then
back to the Bevans house. They
could be restrained only with great
difficulty and were so eager that
they broke the leash with which
they were held. If this indicates
anything it might implicate the
party to whose house they went,

this to establish any guilt on his
