Once inside they ransacked the place
OF all the valuables it contained. They
filled a Dayton wagon which they had
outside with costly furs, iewelry. suit
cases and other articles to the value
OF almost $1,000.
Several residents of Lykens, return

driving rapidly out OF town, but did
not recognize them. The Dayton wag-
on, the bay horse and the stolen goods
are the only clues which the police
have with which to trace the robbers.

COMES IN WITH A SHARK
Man Swims to Shore After Fight in
the Surf at Coney
Island
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept 24.--While in the
surf at Coney Island today George
Herring. proprietor Of a hotel, had an
exciting fight with young shark, and
after a hard swim brought the fish to
the shore. The presence of the shark
at the bathing grounds caused intense
excitement. 1t measured three feet in
length and weighed fifteen pounds.
Herring was about three hundred feet
from the shore when he noticed a SHIN
mering white object shoot by. 1t was
the upturned abdomen of the shark in
position to do damage, with a double
row of cleaning teeth. He realized his
danger in time to turn in the water
as the slim body made another dash
in his direction.
Herring avoided the menacing jaws
and caught his assailant's fin with
his left hand. A piece of driftwood
appeared in reach at this opportune
moment and Herring battered his wrig-
Cling opponent over the head. Then,
dropping his weapon, he took firm
hold of the other fin and swan to
shore.
The presence Of sharks is explained
by old Coney Island fishermen as being
due to school Of pompano, rare fish

PORT JERVIS, n. Y,-There has

of a cleansing committee organized by
it's citizens to keep one or more OF lts
citizens clean.
One i'm particular was Ohadiah Oster-
hout, at one time an officer of police.
Obadiah had a bad habit OF not wash
ing and wearing many shirts. When
one shirt became dirty, instead of tax
ing it off and substituting another, he
slipped another one over II.
Callicoon residents formed the society
mentioned. They sent obadiah word to
wash himself and remove the surplus
shirts. He said any man interfering
with him would be arrested and paid
no attention to the summons.
The working force" of the cleansing
committee seized Obadiah and hustled
him down to the Callicoon creek, de-
spite his vigorous protestations They
soused and scrubbed the man thor
oughly until 1t is said that he shed
twelve old shirts,
After he was wrung out and dried
they took him before the main body
of the committee and gave him to
understand that he was to discontinue
wearing too many shirts and keep him
self in a sanitary condition or they
would repeat the performance. He
promised to comply with their demands
