1iSarlan Attacked Near Wood
81 bridge by Two Men
~ Last Night.
)fAKEN TO WOODBRIDGE.
Was Found Unconscious Along
The Road ---C0.ts May
Furnish Glue.

A Hungarian about twenty-five years
old, who lives on High Hill road, Wood
bridge, was held up by two men last,
night near Cutters factory, on the main
road near where the p. K R. railroad is
putting m a new switch, and was so
badly beaten that it is doubtful if he
will recover. Besides cut on the head
the fellow has three broken ribs and
numerous other injuries. He is under
the care of DIR. Ira Spencer, of Wood
bridge.
The Hungarian was walking along
the main road near the factory when it
Is supposed that he was accostedH by
the two men. No one was near at the
time and it was few hours later when
a party passing along the road found
the fellow unconscious on the ground
Finding It impossible to arouse him he
was carried to Woodbridge where his
address was learned. He was taken
home and DIR. Spencer was called.
When the body was found two coats
were noticed on the ground beside him.
These coats were tai en- to Woodbridge
where they are held Dy the police who
are working on the case.
1t is understood that nothing has
been found in the coats that viii. throw
any light as the identification Of the
highwaymen. Why they should take
them off and leave them in the roadway
is something that cannot be answered,
unless il is that the Hungarian put up
a good fight and the highways took of
che coats 1ifrorder to ha1rtie their man
better
1t is thought that the highwaymcn
were frightened off before they had
time to get the coats on again.
In conversation with NEWS re
porter this morning, Dr. Spencer said
that the injured man was in bad shape.

Board Of Health Calls Attention
to Contamination Of
River
SAY TYPHOID GERMS.
Monmouth County Oystermen
Are Up in Arms Against the
Decision.

Keyport, July 2S:-Planters in
Monmouth county of the far-famed
Shrewsbury oyster are up in arms
over an attack upon their industry.
The State Board of Health has noti-
fed the Shrewsbury township health
board of the danger arising frons
the practice of certain persons who
sewer into the north and south
branches OF the Shrewsbury River,
particularly the South Shrewsbury.
1t is said the pollution of the wa
ter injuriously affects CLAIMS and oy-
sters. Claim is made that an outr
break Of typhoid at Oceanic was
caused by the use of clans taken
from the South Shrewsbury. The
township board is advised to prohib-
it the sale of shellfish taken from
that river. The letter from the State
Board says:
Investigation along both branches
of the Shrewsbury River has shown
that these waters receive sewage at
numerous points, and that they are
therefore, unfit for the production
of oysters and clans.
'One outbreak of typhoid, which
occurred in and near Oceanic some
time ago, is believed to have been
caused by the use of clans taken
from the south branch of the river,
and we, therefore, call your attention
to the risk that may attend the furth-
er use of clans taken from said pol
luted waters, and advise that meas
ures shall be taken by your board to
prohibit the sale of shellfish collect
ed from the waters in question.
In the North Shrewsbury attempt
/. to sewer into the river have always
been stopped when detected, and il
is supposed that some persons are
surreptitiously sewering into the riv.
er. The practise will at once be stop
ped by the Shrewsbury township
board, acting in conjunction with
the boards of Ocean and Middletown
townships, which also abut on the
river.
