Owing to it's location nearly all of the residential
sites in the township have natural drainage.
Nevertheless. modern drainage system has been
built there. besides large waterworks. which sup
ply abundant to the residential centre The
town is especially noted for three things. namely,
its healthfulness, its bracing atmosphere and its
substantial building growth. 1t is connected with
Newark and the Oranges and all other large towns
and cities III Essex, Hudson and Passac counties
by trolley lines. The residential strength of the
place is rapidly increasing and therefore the values
for home sites going upward at rapid rate
and creating a broader market for all kinds of
properties there. Large numbers Of residents are

GENERAL NEWS NOTES

Miss Dixie futile, daughter of Tom Tuttle. one of the
most prominent planters in Audrain County, was arrested
thanksgiving day by Sheriff Woolery under a warrent|
issued by Prosecutor CAN'T charging criminal libel. Miss
Tuttle is accused of writing obscene literature about Miss
Lena Dowen, of this county, which she has been lacking
up along the Country roads. Miss futile pleaded not
guilty when a~rraigned and was released on a $500 bond.
The trial will be December 9rd. In 1905 she was arrested
by Federal Officers and after a trial fined $500 for sending
obscene letters through the mail.
For several months Miss futile has been under the
eyes of the law. Every effort has been made to appre-
bend her in the act of putting up one of these obscene
statements. 1t was not until recently that two witnesses
were discovered who had beheld her sticking up a letter
attacking another young woman. With this evidence
Prosecutor CAN'T considered he was in position to issue
a warrent for her arrest. Miss DoweIl is a daughter Of
Frank DowelL, a most estimable young woman and
teacher at the Jesse School house in this county.

Shorty after these attacks on
Miss Dowell began, Miss Tuttle was
suspected because Of her former
prosecution and conviction on a
charge somewhat similar. The clos
est watch was kept upon her every
move, but it "a only after many
weeks that the crime was finally
laid at her door.
Prosecuting Attorney e. s. CAN'T

vict her. He has three witnesses
who saw her put up papers attack

be no trouble in getting a verdict Of
guilty.
