Because two young fellows got into
an argument over bet on Sunday af-
ternoon six Italians were arranged
before Police Justice John N. Condor
and fined sums from one to two dol
lars each. A rolling ball game in pro-
gress in back yard on Flagler street
attracted Charles Russo and Tony
Bruno, who made dollar bet on the
result Of the game. The loser would
not pay and in consequence row en-
sued The police gobbled the two
boys and before the justice they told
who was playing the ball game. Off
Ger Young, armed with a warrant
corraled Michael Sandulli, Domenick
Monico, Frank Kutter and Tony Ca
tanzo, and charged them with violat-

The Italians contended that they had
been told they could play on Sunday if
they kept off the streets but the judge
read the law to them and they saw
the error of their ways.

Trees Haye Been Loaded Down With
NUTS and>Morris 60, Has It's Fill.
Chestnuts are so plentiful in the
woods between Succassunna and Mt.
Freedom that bushels of them are be-
ing allowed to go to waste. Farmers
say that they have never known such
year for nuts, and that walnuts and
hickory nuts are abundant as we'll as
the chestnuts. All are Of exception
ally large size and no efferb is being to
market them. Early in the autumn
a few of the chestnuts we're marketed,
but the farmers say that it does not
pay them for their trouble to cart
them to Dover or Morristown, the
nearest places where they can be sold.
A party of Newarkers on motoring
trip through the northern part of the
State last week noticed the unusual
quantity of nuts while climbing Mt.
Freedom on the return trip to Morris
| town. The auto was brought to a
stop and all five motorists scattered
among the trees. In less than half
an hour the party had picked up half
a bushel Of nuts, which were of much
larger size than those usually seen in
the street stands in the cities.
g Dutch jake" proprietor Of the
inn at Mt. Freedom, said that no one
thought of gathering nuts this year.
"The farmers" said he, have all
had good crops this year and everyone
is prosperous in this section. / reckon
that, with counting their proceeds OF
the summers corn and oats, drinking
applejack and gittin' ready to vote
the Democratic ticket, there amt
much time for to bother with chest
nuttin." was Jake's concluding re-
marks. Sunday Call.
