TOOK COW TO
HELP DESTITUTE
ORANGE FAMILY
Woman Thought That Butcher
Had Taken Animal for
Debt.

Believing that a COW which she had
given her brother, John Flannery, oil
South Orange, previous to his death,
which was caused by a Lackawanna
train at Orange last week, had been
taken for the -non-payment of a debt
caused by his poverty stricken family.
Mrs. Mary Mckee, of Short Hills, asked
the South Orange police to recover the
animal.
Mrs. Mckee said tina the COW was
taken from the Flannery home on the
old mountainous property in Ridge
wood road, South Orange, yesterday by
Sidney Boninger, son of David Bon
niger, a butcher, of Is Cone street, Or
ange Valley. She claimed that the COW
belonged to her because she only gave
it to her brother in South Orange to
keep for her.
Policeman Theodore Steve, of South
Orange, acting under the Instructions
of Marshal Thomas F. Mcguire, today
vent to Boninger and asked why his
son had taken the COW, and the butcher
said that in view of the hard luck
which the Flannery family had had of
late he went to Mrs. Flannery, who is
seriously i'll in the Memorial Hospital,
Orange, and told her he would sell the
COW for her so as to get some money
for the support of her several small
children, four of whom are just recov-
ering from typhoid fever.
The butcher told the policeman that
he held no bill against the Flannery
family and did not take the cow for
himself.

C0ACHMAN CAME BACK
TO SEE OLD EMPLOYER
Just Told a Hackman to Drive
Him Around All Day
and Night.

After being away from South Orange,
where he was formerly employed as
coaehman by Edward Ludlow, of 81
Hartford road, for several months,
Hugh McCabe, whose home is at 80 Lex
ington avenue, New York, returned to
that village yesterday, and, after hiring
a cab from Henry Harrington at the
railroad, tod the hackman to drive him
all over South Orange.
After several hours driving, Harring-
ten looked back into his cab and found
that the passenger had gone to sleep.
McCabe refused to get out on being
awakened. claiming that he had plenty
of money in his pocket with which to
pay for the ride.
The cabman doubted this and drove
his passenger to the South Orange po-
lice station. Here McCabe was told
to go home on the next train, and he
agreed to do so. He had not gone
long when Policeman William Conner
ford had placed him under arrest at
the South Orange station of the Lack
awanna, charging him with being a
dlsorderly person.
After sleeping all night in the Jail
h. was fned s. today by Police Justice
j. Martin Roll. He showed the JUS
tice a wallet containing $12O in bills,
and assured him that the hackman
was not wise or he would have contin-
ued driving him. He then went to
his former employers home to pay a
visit, but the family was not at home.

POLICE WANT To
KNOW HOW KELLY
GOT HIS HURTS
Mark Says He Fell, but Story
Others Tell May Lead
to Arrests.

Did Kelly fall or was he struck? This
question Chief of Police William Tolen,
of Kearny, would like to have an
swered.
The reason the chief is anxious is
explained by the following: Yesterday
afternoon the Kearny ambulance was
called to the new Schwartz rendering
plant on the Kearny turnpike. On ar
irving there it was found that Mark
Kelly, Of 204 Mulberry street, Newark,
had had his Uranium slightly jolted.
Kelly said that he had fallen from a
roof. Some of his fellow workmen said
that his roof came in contact with
a heavy wrench, welded by another
man.
Placing him in the ambulance, Kelly
was driven to his home. A physician
found that Kelly's scalp was badly
lacerated.
No arrests were made yesterday, but
the Kearny police are investigating.
