POUNDKEEPER
AND THE PIGS
Mr.. Ernst and Assistants Had
Their Hands Full Yesterday
Thrown by POrker.

While Poundkeeper Ernst and as
sistants were making another raid
yesterday on the pigs that roam at
large on the streets in the northern
part of the city, he was seized by the
leg and thrown about ten feet by one
of the porkers on Hall avenue, just
east of the railroad bridge.
Mr.. Ernst had decided to capture
a few of them yesterday and with
two boys and a man succeeded in
rounding up quite a herd. One of
the pigs had her family of fifteen
with her when the pound master
started to drive them up Hall ave-
nue.. A crowd of about 800 people
was following behind making threats
and it was all Policeman Meshrow
could do to keep them from fnjuring
Mr.. Ernst. Many of the foreign
women threw stones and sticks at the
raiders. Patrolman Meshrow says
the women of Catherine street have a
peculiar call with which they order
the pigs around, AS lear as the re-
porter could make out, the call is
"Cushe, cushe," which seems to be
understood by the pigs. Just as the
party reached Catherine street IN
Hall avenue, one of these "Cushe"
cries was sounded, and in an instant
Poundmaster Ernest vas lying in the
road, where a pig had thrown him. A
general rush was then made by the
crowd for their pigs, and seeing that
further efforts were useless, Mr..
Ernst and his man grabbed two of
the small pigs and threw them in his
wagon.
These two pigs, which are now in
the pound, are the only evidence of
| Yesterdays raid.

Wand Motor for Metuchen Firemen.

METUCHEN, Aug. 2S.-As the re-
suit of an upset while attending to
fire duties last Sunday night, Eagle
Hook and Ladder Company, of this
places department, may resort to an
automobile as motive power hereaf-
ter. This state of affairs was brought
about by the action of William Smith,
donor of a team of horses to the COM
pany. When Mr.. Smith made the Or
iginal presentation of the horses sew
eral years ago, the gift had a string
to it, for he reserved the right to
play Indian giver whenever he chose.
With the upset last week this ocea-
sion arose, and the company's horses
once more belong to Mr.. Smith. 1t
is now a question whether the hook
and ladder apparatus will be dragged
to fires by the Jealous volunteers or
by motor power. The latter method
is favored, and the question is now
under Investigation.

WOMAN SAYS
SHE PAID FOR
THE PROPERTY
Mrs. Abby E. BOIau, Of TOtten-
Vile, Takes Action Regarding
Smith Street Estate Here.
Special to me EVENING MAYS:

OE1>N ~ 49,
TRENTON, Aug. 2S.-Mrs. Abby
e. Bolan, of Tottenville, Staten Is
land, formerly of Perth Amboy, has
commenced suit in the Court OF Chan
Gerry praying the court to validate her
right, title and interest in a lot of
valuable real estate on Smith street,
Perth Amboy. Mrs. Bolan claims
that her husband, now deceased, was
unable to save a cent during his life
time. She AYERS that by conducting
a boarding house and later a saloon,
both in Perth Amboy, she accumulat-
ed the money with which she pur-
chased the property. Mrs. Bolan
says that now she has discovered the
title to the property is in her hus-
bands name, and is claimed by his
heirs. The defendants named are
Jane Gerity, John Bolan and Annie,
his wife; James Bolan and Annie, his
wife; William Bolan. Annie Fergu-
son and Samuel Ferguson, her hus-
band; Lizzie McEnroe and John Nc
Enroe, her husband; and Mary Hol-
der and J.. Addison Holder, her hus-
band. To-,
The complainant says she was
married to William Bolan in 1865.
From the time of the marriage they
lived in Perth Amboy and at the time
of the ceremony neither of them vas
possessed of any money. Bolan was
a 1aborer and made small wages. The
bill says that in 1882 her husband
stopped workings shhfihg saved nc
part of his income Whatever. From
that time to his des5hss May i, 1906,
he did not contribute anything to his
own support or that Of his wife.
Mrs. Bolan alleges that in 1876
she started a boarding house in Perth
Amboy, which was Successful and
profitable, With the money thus ac-
cumulated she fitted up a saloon in
1856. This she conducted success
fully until 1900 when. she disposed
of it. 1t is alleged that these bust
nesses were conducted entirely sepa-
rate from her husband and the pro-
fits We're her W separate property.
Bolan died intestate leaving no
children. Mrs. Bolan asserts that she
did not know the title to all property
stood in her husbands name, or that
his heirs-at-law, the defendants,
would claim it. The complainant in
sists that the real estate is her own
separate property and was purchased
by her with her own money, there
fore rightfully belongs to her. She
claims that the taking of the title in
the name of her husband was a mis-
take, inadvertently made.
Mrs. Bolan asks the court to de-
cree that all the defendants be de-
creed to convey to her all their right,
title and interest which they claim in
the property.
