serious nature. Two bullets are still
in his neck. State Detective Charlie

OYSTERS REPORTED PAT AND PLENTIFUL
Improved Methods of Cultivation Resulting In
Better Biyalves Along the Delaware River.

Reports from the oyster beds say
the crop this year will be plentiful and
the oysters larger than eyer, owing to
the improved methods of cultivation.
Down in the coves along the Delaware
River and Bay millions of oysters are
now fattening for the harvest which
started Saturday with the first joyful
''r" month. All early oysters in the
local markets come from the Delaware
River coves, of which the Maurice
River is the first in reputation and
number of oysters grown. This is
where the greatest fleet settles at the
opening of the season. Last year there
were nearly five bundled boats there,
and this season there will undoubtedly
be more. The fishermen do not expect
to have any trouble with pirates this
year, as the beds are well guarded and
special launch has been fitted up tc
patrol the river in that vicinity.
