John Sheeran, "a, was found dead in
Henry BiXby's barn at Essex Junction
early Friday morning. Sheeran and Will
liam Packard and Alec Connell were in
Wnooski Thursday and bought there
a pint of whiskey and a pint and one
half of alcohol. They drank all of the

lessly drunk. On their way home their
team broke down and James Romprey,
tenant of the BiXby farm, took Sheeran
into his sleigh, and, fearing that Sheer

New Shooting Law.

Before the close of the present session
cf the Legislature new shooting law
will probably be in existence. The bill
provides for the open season on hare,
rabbit. quail, partridge, pheasants,
squirrels and woodcock, from October
10Th to December 10th. Last season the
law opened for woodcock October 1st,
and on the other game mentioned above,
November 10th, consequently, countless
numbers of rabbit and quayle were shot
by the so-called woodcock gunners.
Another reason for the change is the
tracking snow law. Last year snow
fell on December 9th, and from tha
date until the close, December 31st, there
were not more than two days when &
sportsman could safely venture forth il
quest of game. The season was one o
the briefest ever known in New Jersey
there being but twenty days o
lawful cunning.

Much excitement, but no surprise wac

No Trolley for oce an Grove.

The reported project to establish a
single track trolley line starting at the
Ocean Grove auditorium has been
squelched. Vice president Ballard, who,
when asked whether the purported route
was satisfactory to the association. said :
"There as been no such route as you
mention or any other route presented to
the association or any committee of the
association for its approval or disapprov-
al. There is absolutely nothing to it,
"Long ago the association forsaw such
a possible contingency and took all the
necessary legal steps to establish a troll
ley line of its own. Under no consider
alton would an outside company be per-
mitted TO enter Ocean Grove. The resi-
dents, at least the vast majority ofthem,
do not want trolley cars to go rumbling
along their avenues with changing bell.
Should such contingency ever arise
that the association were compelled to
provide the residents with trolley car
service, it will be done by the associa-
ton, and by no other company" ~

Rejected Love Results in Suicide.

ended his life with bullet discharged
by 80 calibre revolver. The
tragedy occurred at the home of his
sister Mrs. Bertha Van Buren, Clinton
place in the rear of the old "Folly"
on Speedwell avenue. A letter, found
upon table, addressed to his sister
read:
Morristown, Jan. 18th, 1908.
Dear Sister:
Please forgive me for all the trouble,
have caused you. but this worrying
has slowly but surely driven me crazy
and could no longer endure it SO have
ended all. Forgive and think kindly of
me and don't worry over your lost
brother. Lem.
Last summer, Montgomery married
Miss Lena jackson and jealousy over
her relations with other men formed the
basis of the shooting a
