THIEVES HOLD UP
PARTY IN AUTO
Robbed Occupants and Cut Tire to
Prevent Pursuit.
ANOTHER BURLINGTON HOLD UP

Burlington, N. J., Nov. 30.-Held up
on the public road at Riverside by four
men armed with shotguns, three men
and a woman in a big motor car were
helplessly forced to allow the foot
pads to empty their pockets of jewelry
and money. Then the highwaymen
slashed one of the front tires of the
car to prevent pursuit and escaped.
Burlington county is thoroughly
aroused over the latest holdup. Fol-
lowing within a week of the Jefferson
murder and Immediately after the hold
up of Ernest Zwahalen, an iron work
er at Burlington, the citizens are thor.
oughly aroused.
The hOldup on the motor car occurr-
ed on the road which runs through
Riverside. between the railroad and
the trolley tracks. The touring car
was proceeding along the road at mod
crate speed, when a man stepped in
front of the car, reeled and fell over
in the road in front of the car as IL he
had been taken ill., The driver Of the
motor brought it to a stop. Three men
armed with shotguns sprang from a
clump of bushes. The man in the road
got on his feet
Throw up your hands" he COM
mander. The men and the woman did
as directed. Two of the men entered
the car and went through the pockets
of the men. Then the woman became
hysterical The footpads obtained $S2
and a gold watch. then left the car,
angry at the slim haul.
One of the four men then went to
work on one of the tires and proceeded
to cut it,
81 guess that will hold EN-" said the
leader of the gang. Then the quartet
turned and fed into the woods.
From what can be learned it is be-
lieved that the highwaymen's victims
were returning from the COrnell-PGnn-
sylvanla football game. They were
trying to patch up the slashed tire
when about 10 minutes la n, another
motor came along with an extra tire
aboard.
This was put on in place of the
ruined tire and the two automobiles
sped off toward Trenton. Before they
got away, however, the police officials
Of Riverton were brought to the scene,
but it is understood that in the excite
ment they forgot to ask for the names
Of the occupants or take the number of
the cars.
Detectives have searched in vain for
the two hihgwaVmen who attacked
and tried to rob Ernest Zwahalen, a
Burlington iron worker, i'm a manner so
similar to the way in which Edward S.
Jefferson was killed that the police are
convinced that the men who held up
Zwahalen were the murderers of the
aged grocer. If'it had not been for
Zwahalen's pugilistic ability, the po-
lice are firm in the conviction that he,
too, would have been killed.

feeling toward residents in the for
eign settlement.

FEAR OF THE FOREST.
The FeeIi~g That Comes When Ono

The Feei~g That Comes When Ono
Finds Himself Lost.
One must he Independent to enjoy
the vast freedom of the woods, mighty
and protecting. yet interfering, gath
ering myriads of living things in safe
ty within their shelter LAS a wonder
full experience-and familiarity cannot
lessen the wonder of ito choose
some unfreQuented trail that the forest
has half reclaimed and follow it for a
time. then suddenly to stop and listen.
The underbrush. the trees. the broken
thread of path. which had seemed only
to echo our footsteps and frame hui
man form. now in our silence give
forth all tho voices of the woods, elu-
sive. intermittent. but alive-life every
where. whispering warning of an inter
lOper who may have come for evil or
for good. and one feels without seeing
myriad eyes upon him.
Have you ever been afraid in the
woods? Not that mysterious awe of
the first twilights that all know who
have camped. when the silence is alb
solute, when shadows have swallowed
up the distance and the light has al
most faded from the sky, when one
feels dimly the vast, latent power of
nature around him with which some
time or other he must struggle and
conquer or be crushed. This fear of
the forest was different l was alone
and lost. l had taken a false trail at
some unblazed turn and of a sudden
realized the truth. For a long moment
/ could think of nothing, see nothing,
hear nothing, only be conscious Of the
fact of my utter helplessness. l felt
the heart deadening panic of the trap
ped animal, wanting to run against my
barriers on every side. Only a mo-
ment, l say, and then my reason was
alert to solve the problem Of return.
But the mental experience left vivid
impression, and l can understand the
despair of the really lost, wandering
endlessly in aimless circles. = Outing

POttsown, Pa, Dec. 2.-DespOndent
because of continued ill health and suf-
fering from mental alteration, Mrs.
Charles Miller, wife of a pertinent
farmer of Tricks Locks, two miles
east of here, attempted suicide by pour

remained there until the flames had
scorched the sides Of the building.
Then she ran to the barn where her
husband was milking, and seeing her
afire he seized pail of milk and threw
the contents over her. Neighbors rush
ed to the unfortunate woman and the
flames were soon extinguished, but
not until she had been fatally burned.

is only a matter of hours. During the
last two weeks Mrs Miller made two
unsuccessful attempts at suicide. She
is aged 43 years.
