where Mr.. Vasey was, and found him
lying beside the road dead. He had
driven to town with a load of hay and
was returning with some machinery on
the rack. 1t is presumed that he be-
came i'll and climbed from the wagon,

ing on his arm. He was subject to
cramps of the stomach, and 1t is pre-
sumed that it was during one Of these
attacks that he died. Heart failure
was the cause assigned for his immed-
late death He was brought to town by
the doctor, who was called to examine
him. ..
Mr. Nasey was a man of about so
years of age, and until about three
years ago he had said that he had
never had pain. or known what it
meant to be the least bit sick. For the
past three years. however, he had not
been so we'll, but was as we'll as the
average man of his age. He had al
ways made farming his business. and
at the time of his death was living
in town, but farming his farm, two
miles northwest of town. He leaves a
wife and two children. a boy and
girl. surviving him, besides brothers
and a sister. His son, Horace, had

GREAT CATCH OF CRABS AT OTTENS
HARB0R.
Scores of Residents and Visitors
Enjoy the free Boats and Make
a Record Catch Of Crabs.
Boats VIII be free 10
all on October 3. a. S.

There was a great gathering last Sat-
urdsy and Sunday on the Ottens
Harbor of those who enjoy the sport of
grabbing. Through the liberality of
Henry III. Ottens everything In the
way of power boats, row boats, bait
and lines were free to the public and
the largest crowd of the season gathered
on the Harbor and its adjacent tribu-
taries and spent the hours in Turing
the shell fish to their doom. The
weather conditions were favorable for
the enjoyment of the sport and neve
since the founding of the Five Mile
catching Of crabs. There was an in
viting inducement for all to put forth
their best efforts to capture as many
crabs as possible and the offer of the
Wildwood Land Company to buy all
the crabs caught at a price of 15 cents
per dozen, made the crabbers eager to
eclipse all the past crab catching
records made in this vicinity. On
Sunday the crah-buyer at the Ottens
Harbor office had a most strenuous
time exchanging the coin for a great
wriggling mass of crabs. Boat after
boat arrived at the Harbor wharf with
well-filled baskets of shell fish and
many parties ignored the offer Of the
crab man to buy them, preferring to
carry their catch home for their own
consumption. The crowd of spectators
who witnessed the arrival of the cral :
bing parties declared that never before
had they seen such a mass of crabs.
By accurate count just 3137 crabs were
bought and paid for at 15 cents per
dozen. This is a record breaking catch
and proves conclusively that the Ottens
Harbor waters have no equal as a crab
bling grounds on the Jersey coast.
The fishermen were also at work try
ing their skill ON the Harbor and the
catch made by Charles Luker, a Holly
Beach resident surprised many of the
anglers. Mr.. Luker, fishing near the
mouth Of the Harbor, hooked and
landed two fine rock fish and a weak
fish, whose combined weight was
eleven pounds. On Saturday, Sunday
and Monday of this week the public
are cordially invited to take free boat
ing and grabbing trips on the Harbor.
