WANTED COIN
OR HIS LIFE
South Jersey Has An Anarchis-
tic Scare Riverside Man
Receives a Threat.

RIVERSIDE, June 15.-If Theo-
philus Zurbrugg, the wealthy presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Watch Case
Company, will kindly let some needy
and bloodthirsty gentleman have the
small sum of $4,000 he can save his
life and his home from destruction.
At least that is the intimation of a
letter left on the front porch of his
handsome home along Rancocas
creek, here, the other day. Inciden-
tally, Sheriff N~orcross, over in the
county Jail, is keeping a close watch
upon one Walter Stever, who he be-
lieves to be an anarchist, knowing
something about the letter.
The bloodcurdling document, when
found upon Mr.. Zurbrugg's porch,
vas kept quiet. 1t didn't worry Mr..
%Zurbrugg, but he decided that 1t
might be best to look sharp for
strangers. Beside demanding the
cash consideration the writer of the
letter demanded that the employees of
the watch case plant here should have
more wages, and If the stipulations
we're not complied with the president
and his house would go biff! into
space. a
This pleasant little option expired
last Saturday. The day before young
Steven blew into the town, and breez-
lily inquired for Mr.. Zurbrugg and his
house. Stever had a big pistol when
he turned up at Timothy Donovan's
hotel, and seemed to be in a hurry to
find the watch case man. AS he
fourished his revolver and got noisy
william Donovan tried to disarm
him. In the struggle the pistol went
off and a bullet struck a witch in the
trousers pocket of young Edgar Pen
singer, a bystander. The timepiece
saved his life.
Stever was arrested and sent to
the county jail. He said he came
from Doylestown, Pa, but Sheriff
Norcross thinks he came from some
hotter place, and is trying to connect
him with the writer of the threaten
ing letter.

VISIT TO THE

Reporter Thinks She Is a Man
Told An Elegant Fortune

A few days ago, a NEWS reporter
visited Boynton Beach. After walk
ing around and viewing the many at
fractions, the newsgatherer noticed d
sign over a little house, Madame
Meyers" the bearded woman. also a
smaller sign stating that II might
have his palm read for the small
sum of ten cents.
Prompted by curiosity, the news
paper man entered the portals of the
mysterious lady. After waiting five
or ten minutes he was conducted into
a smaller room, and there, seated III
a chair by a table, sat the bearded
woman"
The reporter does not claim to be
an expert, and for all he knows, she
may be a woman, but it would be
advisable for the lady in question to
invent a breathing apparatus so that
she could breath like a woman. AS
every one knows, a man breathes by
contracting and expanding the ssom-
ach, and a woman breathes entirely
with the chest.

said the lady with whiskers. The re-
porter said he would. Would you
like a twenty-five or a fifty cent read

was ten cents" said the reporter in
establishment. "Oh, no." continued
the lady, in a voice that seemed
strained and disguised, "that is only
the admission"
The nswsman finally coughed up
the quarter necessary, and proceeded
to have his palm read.

she. "Hurrah!" said the reporter,

Many persons have been having
much fun by visiting the lady and no
one worries over the price of admis-
sion.
