PORT RICHMOND. S. l., Aug. co.
AS a soldier of fortune, Edgar p. Foster
has had many adventures. He has
fought with wild beasts In the jungle.
He has been lost in the Arctic regions.
But he seemed to bear a charmed life
and never received so much as a scratch.
That is, until yesterday. Then he met
with his first accident. when a little bit
of a brown cur of no particular breed
bit Inn In the leg.
II don't mind the bite ITSELF" said
Foster. but think of 1t! In 1886 l was
on the Era. a whaling vessel that made
an expedition to the Hudson Bay coun-
try. and | was lost with a party on an
inland trip. We endured all kinds of
hardships and dangers, but l got out
all right. I've been in the tropics
and I've killed wild animals
i've shot tigers in Africa and I've
been all Owe the world. l never
got a hair of my head hurt, and now
have to come back to New York to be
put out of business by a measly little
NUT! That's what makes me sore.'

Couple with Heavy Cane and

VINELAND, Aug. 20.-The woods and
fields about this town are today being
secured by angry farmers looking for
the man who last night beat and robbed
~7o-year-old Adolph Sharp and his wife.
who lives on a lonely road lee the
South Vineland station.
The old farmer answered a knock on
the front door and met a stranger, who
came inside the hallway. saying that
he had a message from Sharp's step
son at Leesburg. The farmer extended
his hand to greet the supposed mes
senger and the visitor brought a heavy
cane crashing down on Sharp's head.
The attacked man tried to fight back,
but was overpowered. his scalp being
badly gashed In several places. Mrs.
Sharp came to her husbands rescue,
throwing a cup Of tea at the intruder.
He then struck her with the cane. Hav-
Ing beaten the old couple into subjec-
ton. the stranger turned his attention
to the house, leisurely ~ransacking it and
taking s11.
While the robber was looking for
booty, Sharp managed to get his re-
volver, and then went after the in
truder. Creeping through the hallway,
he opened fire on him, but the burglar
showed no stomach for fight with an
armed man and went flying down the
lonely road
Sharp and his wife were too weak
from loss of blood to go for assistance.
When their hired man came to work
today he found them in a semi-con-
scious condition. He hurried for a sur
geon, and then turned in the alarm
which has set the neighborhood off on
a man hunt.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 20--Each day
brings forth something which adds to
the furore created by the alleged de-
fiance of laws by citizens of this city.
The political pot Is, of course, seerh-
ing. and now It Is said that the entire
power of the administration and the
political machine will be insufficient to
stop Prosecutor Goldenberg in his en-
deavor TO secure indictments against
those accused of gambling and selling
intoxicants on Sunday.
Assistant Attorney-General Nelson
Gaskill is here to visit officers of the
Third Artillery, and many consider the
visit to be of especial significance. but
1t is denied that the presence of the
assistant encouragement has anything
% do with tho coming grand jury ses-
sion.
1t is understood that heads Of the
so-called gambling fraternity have been
told that they are TO be sacrificed, and
vacations" are IN order. The charge

Friday to the grand Jury dealing with
local conditions will, 1t is expected, be
n scathing arraignment. After receiv-
ing instructions the grand jury will
adjourn until Monday.
Reformers have become overjoyed be-
cause of the stand of Governor Fort.
The belief is general that the gam
blers are to be made the scapegoats of
the prosecution. Hotel and business
interests that have endeavored to find
a candidate for the inayoralty have so
far failed and the Stoy forces are
tubilant.

Arrives
SAN PEDRO. Calf, June 21.-The
yacht Hawaii arrived here tonight
after an uneventful voyage.

The arrival OF the Hawaii at San
Pedro on the Goth indicates that the
little craft has been found hummer
in ocean travelling. The best friends
expected of her was about 20 days
for the trip. But she left here June
I'd, about 2 o'clock, covering the
1890 miles of ocean in 10 days. at
an average rate of l15 knots n day.
Considering that deep-sea captains
say she must have had head winds
all the way to the Coast, this looks
bright for her prospects in the Trans
Pacific Yacht Race.
Her behavior compares very favor
ably with that of LA Paloma, the To-
cal entry IN this race two years ago.
La Paloma left here at 2 o'clock April
