FELL FROM
R.R. BRIDGE

John Bonsack, of Broadway, South
Amboy, had a narrow escape from
serious injury last night when he
fell from the Central railroad draw
bridge, at the foot of South Second
street, to the beach. He was some
what bruised but, after night in the
city lookup, he limbered up.
Bonsack wanted to come to this
city from South Amboy, so he decid-
ed to walk the c. R. r. bridge. He
started out all right and, how he
passed the watchman, at the middle
of the bridge, is a mystery, as orders
have recently been issued that no
person may walk across this bridge.
Bonsack reached this side of the
river in safety and, as he was walk
ing toward the end, he slipped.
He was discovered by Chris Deid-
rickson, of 40 South Second street,
lying on the beach. Deidrickson
thought the fellow had been badly
hurt, SO he called up police head
quarters and the city ambulance was
sent to the bridge.
Bonsack claimed he could not walk
and said he wanted to be sent to the
hospital. He was taken to the Office
OF LIT. VI. w. lyrreil. Inc Puyoioie
made a thorough examination OF
Bonsack, but could find nothing the
matter with him.
This morning Bonsack again said
he wanted to be sent to the hospital
He claimed he was badly hurt. He
had taken off his shoes and did not
want to put them on again. He
walked with limp and, when ques-
toned, said he had no money on his
person.
Chief Burke found money on Bon
sack and also found that he could
walk much better than he wanted to
The patrol wagon was called and
Bonsack was given free ride to the
Central railroad station, where he
was put on a train for South Amboy

TENEMENTS HERE IN
AN UNSAFE CONDITION

The conditions surrounding the
tenements and the drawing of plans
and erection of buildings in this city
are not what they should be, ac-
cording to the views of state au-
thorities in such matters, as con-
tanned in Mayor Bollschweiler's
message to the Board of Aldermen

ments for the establishment of a
building department, as urged by the
mayor.
These include an extract from the

SUPERVISORS FINISH UP WORK
one of Largest Conventions Held I'm
the State.

HASTINGS, Neb.. Dec. 1O.-(special Tele-
gram.)-The fourteenth annual convention
OF the State Association Of County Commits
sioners and Supervisors came TO a close
here today by the reelection of officers
and the selection OF Fremont as the place
for holding the next convention. Because
OF the general satisfaction over their ad-
ministration for the last year there was no
opposition to the reelection of President
Weldon OF Wood River. Secretary Hill of
Hastings and Treasurer Trainor OF South
Omaha North Platte had a liberal follow
ing In the quest for the next annual gath
ering, but Fremont was IN favor with the
majority because It was deemed unwise to
have W. consecutive conventions in the
western part OF the state.
The many visitors TO Hastings this week
pronounced the meeting one OF the largest
and most successful conventions ever held
by the organization.
