NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. g.
For some time Justice j.. Franklin
Fort has been making frequent visits
to this city and as there has been no
session of court many people who
saw him wondered at the purpose of
his visits. Some thought he might
be coming here to get some informa-
ton regarding slot machines or some
other violation of the law prepara-
tory to the opening of the December
term of court at which time he would
charge the grand jury upon the re-
suit of this alleged investigation on
his part.
Yesterday when the prosecutor
and Justice Fort walked through the
street together there were those who
were in doubt as to the object of his
visits who were made sure on seeing
the two together that some big Grim
inal matter was being looked up.
But had any one taken the trouble
to watch where the justice was going
they would have ascertained that he
visited a local dentist. Early in the
September term of court Justice Fort
adjourned court early n noon in
order to visit a dentist and get an
ugly molar treated. The tooth was
not extracted, the dentist deciding
that it could be treated and saved.
The justice since then has been max
ing visits to the dentist, who is doc
toring up the aching molars.

which a wagon, in which they were
driving, got tangled up with another

the result to both wagons. Baker
