A big Plymouth rock rooster struts
about the yard of Robert Taggart, near
Beverly, with more of a pompous air
than ever before, and perched on the front
fence crows of his bravery. According
to Taggart's son, a big chicken hawk
swooped down upon the poultry yard and
glided toward number of spring chick |
ems. 1t succeeded In selling one in it's !
claws, when the rooster rushed to the res
cue He caught the hawk an ugly jab
under the wing, causing the bird to drop |
its prey, ana tried to beat off the enraged |
rooster. The latter's spurs worked rapid |
ly and the hawk scared away from dan |
ger, but only got few feet in the air |
when it fell. Before the rooster could |
finish his job, the boy interfered and
the hawk died before he could take 1t into |

The local authorities will have to resort |
to other means of getting rid of unmuzzled |
dogs caught by dog-catchers than by shoot
ing as has been done in previous years, as
the Burlington County Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has pla.
carded the town forbidding shooting or any
other cruel means. AS the notice does |
not specify what means shall be employed |
the authorities are In a quandary. This |
has placed restraint upon the contem-
plated crusade against the large number
OF worthless ours running at large in this |
city. Mayor Roberts and Marshal Stucky |
are repeatedly bothered by protests from
innumerable citizens to get rid of danger
GUS dogs. Never before has the city pos
sessed so many unclaimed CANNES, and an
appeal will be made at the August meet
ing of Council to suggest plan of how to
exterminate the dog population.
Claiming that Charles H. Cheesman
has left the state and is alleged to be an
absconding debtor, H. Teitleman, of
Riverside, with constable from that
township, forcibly entered house at Sec
ond and Cooper streets that Cheesman
formerly occupied and carried away
several wagon loads of furniture and also
a lot of wearing apparel. Teitleman claims
that Cheesman owed him large sum of |
money. Local authorities and friends of |
the absent man think that Teitleman over
stepped his rights and that Cheesman is |
still In New Jersey and according to the
terms of law is not an absconding debtor.
Cheesman left Beverly to better himself |
so that he could pay his Indebtedness. A
number of business men claim Cheesman
owe them big bills. Up to a few months
ago Cheesman who was In the express and
ice business was considered prosperous
man. All at once reverses came thick and
FAST beginning with the loss of two
valuable uninsured horses several months
ago, which killed themselves by dashing
into brick dwelling near Norristown, Pa,
to which place he had been removing for
mer Beverly residents. Cheesman was
also sued for heavy damages by the owner
of the house.
