TO FIGHT FREEMAN
Predicted That Valentine Braun Will Take
Democratic Clubs Support from East
Orange Candidate.

Although T. was predicted by many that
Alden Freeman. who is striving to become
the Fourth Ward representative in the
East Orange City Council. would receive
the endorsement of the East Orange DEM
ocratic Club in his efforts, which had been
given him once before, 1t is understood
that Valentine Braun, a member of the
club. with whom Mr.. Freeman is gener-
ally at dagger points, will seek the Demo-
| cratic nomination at the primaries. 1t Is
naturally expected that If Braun runs
the club will turn around and work hard
for him.
There are several members Of the club
who ave been and are workers for Mr..
Freeman in the several political contests he
has engaged in. and IL Mr.. Braun Is a
candidate for the office the division Of
support by these workers will probably
bring about some interesting complications.
Mr.. Freeman is now being opposed for
the Republican nomination at the primaries
by George A. Grover, and II he Is sue
cessful over Mr.. Freeman the probabilities
are that Mr.. Freeman will run anyhow,
taking his chances on an independent
ticket.
The announcement has Weakened lot OF
interest in the ward, and it now looks as
II the Fourth Ward will be the real bat
tleground in the city this election. Should
Mr.. Freeman get the Republican nominal
ton tits said that many Republicans in
the ward, who are decidedly opposed to
hliatlons for the time being. and hustle
for Mr.. Braun. Should this occasion arise
the chances are that fun will be on tap
all during the weeks previous to election.

A POST HIS BRONCO
Old Indian Fighter Thought He Was
Out in the Plains Again, Till Police
Gathered Him In.

William j. Keough, OF 40 Valley road.
Orange, who said he was in the regular
army and used to fight Indians, got Il
touch of the old fever on Saturday and
went In a little too far on the stuff sup
posed to cheer. His wanderings carried
him over on Washington street, and before
he knew how it happened his coat was off
and placed on a post, which Keongh be-
lieyed at the time to be a real Westekn
bronco. According to the antics tina
Keough went through. the bronco wax
out to repulse any attempts of the riden
to get aboard. The rider couldn't look az
s. in that light. however, and worked
harder than ever to mount the stationary
animal that had a decidedly razor back.
Up he went again, only TO be tossed aside.
Finally, with a nightly heave, he secured
a resting place on the post. His arms
went out with a healthy swish, and in his
fancy he could see Indians dropping at
Every turn. On he went. until a tenderfoot
by the name of Officer Devaney, who is
attached to the force at headquarters, hap
pened along.
The officers good eyesight failed to de-
tect any Indians. He waved a signal to
keough, so the police officer says, but that
sign was not in the language of the woolly
West, and the rider held fast TO the
imaginary bronco. Devaney assisted him
to the ground, placed his coat on and then
gently sent him on a safer journey. But
keough couldn't look at the matters in
the same light and again made an attempt
to ride the bronco and clean the plains
of the Indians. Officer BOYD next hove
into sight and assisted his brother officer
In bringing Keough down to the ranch in
Centre street, with the two green lights in
front. The prisoner did not remember
any of the occurrence when arraigned be-
fore Judge Joseph b. Bray today, but he
paid a fine Of 50 and then went on his
way.
