Valentine Boulanrser. Of seoaucus.
has begun suit for $1,000 damages
against Peter Farley OF Secnucus. It
lis q SANDER suit. and ss2 ould be reached
In the April term of the Supreme Court,
that branch of the New Jersey SUI
North Hudson County.
The Boulanfser- Farley action bids
fair we have it from q resident scribe
iof Secaucus. to become the cause Cele-
ibre of that fair village. famed for its
pigs and politics.
Already-says our Secaucis informant
t--thers have been eleven personal en-
counters among Boulanger and Farley

week he set three jaws OF the Farley
kaction and reduced two canljhower ears

4 Over a Chance Remark.
v A. ohtuce remark caus,h the present
strained relations and SLENDER suit that
have stirred secaucus to- its utter7nost
depths. Pete" Farley and Val"
,Houlanger had long been political
allies and fast friends. Gabriel F'ea-
theredge, the North Hudson poet,
Iiikened VA" and Pete" to Castor
and Pollux only last spring. and Mr.
Featheredgs delicately explained In a
ifootnote appended to his poem that
The Castor referred to was a chaste
psychological character and in no way
associated with famous oleaginous
product.
Tho two friends-'var and Pete
were descanting pleasantly on pigs and
politics in the psrlor Of the Sunnyslde
Hotel last Sunday night, when the
chance remark referred to .above was
dropped.
Mr.. Boulanger. who was formerly
town clerk, provoked scream Of
laughter by observing that 1t was
mighty lucky for Secaucus that 1t was
not cursed with muck-rakers and
Lexow reformes. Pete" Farley
laughed as heartily as any Of the
others; then said playfuily:
"And I guess It's mighty lucky, VAL
that none Of those Lexow fellows
didn't come over here"
But "vaI" Didn't Laugh.
Having delivered this sally, Pete"
Farley opened wide his Jaws and bel.
lowed a hearty laugh. Several others
laughed, but We regret to relate that
oval" Boulanger. the ex-town clerk,
was not among them.
Mr.. Boulanger turned what Secaucus
calls a raw-beet red and began to beat
his hands about wildly for air, He not
only looked panied and hurt, but acted
out the part by trying to lift a baby
grand piano which stood In corner OF
the hotel parlor and drop it on the st!ll
\ gigging Peter Farley.
He did not succeed with the plano In
toto. but there will be testimony at
the coming trial to prove that as Far
ley went out the parlor door two piano
legs followed him, and that as he
dashed UP Main street he was pursued
by three stone spittoons that narrowly
missed his Undated bald head
Thus ceased the sweet lyrical friend
phip between Valentine Boulanger anc
Peter Farley and papers were iiled to-
day in the s. 900 Islander suit The
entire populace of SeCauCus, eXclud
ing only the pigs and those frenzieC
partisans VINO happen % be mewed VI

Even the Bar Is Divided.

Partisan lines are drawn so strongl
that the proprietor OF the Sunnys!d
