Mysterious Shooting

Carl Partch, a young man employed in a local tailor shop, received his death wound yesterday from gun shot, the source of which is at this time g mys- sery, The young man in company with Frank Locke, son of the $. P. agent, had started to go swimming, and were walking along the river bank east Of the penitentiary hill, when suddenly Partch throw up both hands and fell mortaily wounded from bullet woand in the right side. Thinking that Locke had attacked him, he asked Why did you hit me?"
 Young Locke brought a physician from town as quickly as possible, but the boy was dying when they reached him and soon passed away. The hOdy WAS brought to town and an inquest is being held as we go to press. The case IS thought to be one of murder, ant two or three parties are under suspicion, though probable motive is lacking. It is to be hoped the inquest may deve- lop facts pointing to the murderer, who seems to have fired the shot from the old Chris Horner blacksmith shop. Tue dead boy WAS only l9, and had no known enemy. His mother, who lives in Washington, has been notified by wire of her sons untimly death.

CUP
RACER IS HURLED
FROM BENZ CAR
Auto, Travelling at 20 Miles,
Throws Occupants Many
Feet Through Air.

MINEOLA, L. l., Sept. 23.-George
Robertson, the automobile driver, was
injured, and Stepf en- Reynolds, a fell
low-rider, was slightly hurt today when
the new Benz car, which Robertson
was tuning up for the Vanderbilt cup
race, turned turtle as 1t struck the
Massapequa curve at high speed. Rob-
ertson was picked up unconscious and
taken to the hospital, where 1t was
found that he had suffered Commissions
on the head and arm and bruises on
the body.
Both were unconscious when another
car which had peer following two
minutes behind them came along. They
we're carried back to the grand stand
and a physician was hastily summoned.
Reynolds was found to be suffering
from possible internal injuries. He was
hurried to Manhattan.
A hasty examination caused the ply
sician to fear hat Robertson's injuries
were serious, If not fatal. He appeared
10 be suffering from a bad scalp wound,
a sprained and fractured arm, concus-
sion OF the brain and possible internal
injuries. AT the Nassau Hospital, how
ever, II was stated the a~utomobilist's
injuries might not be so serious as at
first feared.
Robertson had attempted to take the
dangerous curve at too high a speed.
Both victims being unconscious, no one
can tell whether anything had gone
wrong with the mechanism. The spin
Robertson was taking was his first on
the Vanderbilt course this year.

SELECT GREGORY
TO LEAD FIGHT
FOR MAY0RALTY
East Orange Democrats to
Wage War Against
CardWell.

The acceptance of Julian A. Gregory
of the Democratic nomination for
mayor East Orange was filed today
with County Clerk John b. Woolston.
1t is now promised that he and Mayor
William Cardwell Will have a warm
contest for election at the polls.
Before the primaries Mr.. Gregory
would not consent to having a petition
fled for him to become the candidate,
but the vote''s wrote his name in on
the ballots The law provides for the
filing of an acceptance by Mr.. Gregory
with the county clerk by today.
A special committee had been APP
pointed by the city executive commit
tee to sound Mr.. Gregory on the propo-
sition, and long conferences We're held
with him by E.. Tracy Lanterman,
chairman of the committee. MI. Lam
terman kept at Mr.. Gregory until he
finally gave his acceptance.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Gregory
has imposed certain conditions on the
city committee regarding his campaign.
He wanted it understood that If he con-
sented to go before the voters as the
uOlllllte Vi Tic party lG Was " pS
given support by every worker among
the Democrats, nothing was to be
left uudone to secure a good vote.
1t Is expected by the Democratic
leaders that Mr.. Gregory will poll a
big independent vote. Just how much
support he will receive from those who
opposed Mayor Cardwell in the strenu-
IL primary campaign Is not known.
It is believed that Mayor Cardwell Will
receive the assistance of many who
opposed him In the primary battle, at
the coming election.
Mr.. Gregory is young and one of the
strenuous type of workers. lie Is wor-
shipful master of Hope Lodge, F. and
A. NJ, of East Orange, and stands high
in the estimation of residents of the
city, where he has lived all his life.
The style of campaign Is yet to be
decided upon by the leaders, but owing
TO the anxiety of Mr.. Gregory to go
into the fight with all the~<zest pos
sible, 1t Is expected that there will be
plenty of speechmaking. The cam
paign, however, will be a clean one,
and it Is not thought there will be
any mudslinging. as was shown in the
primary battle.
When seen today Mr.. Gregory said:
II do not wish to seem egotistical. but
I wish to say that I believe that, with
he great Democratic boom this year,
I stand an excellent chance of defeating
Mayor Cardwell."
