MT. HOLLY BANK CLERKS
LOOT Is NOW $4,000.
Two Diamond Rings Also Taken
by Him.,

MOUNT HOLLY. June i6.-Further
investigation of the safe and books
shows that the total amount of cash
secured by Clifford s. Heller. the
~absconding assistant teller of the
Mount Holly National Bank, is $23, 900,
and that besides he carried away two
diamond rings, valued at 5000. which
had been held as security for a per-
sonal loan by Cashier Lee.
That Heller planned the robbery
oleverly and was ingenious enough to
cripple h time lock of the safe so that
it defied the efforts of experts for two
days, is now apparent, although he was
held in such high esteem by the officers
of the bank and HIS friends here that all
were reluctant to accept the situation.
His wife Is Frustrated at her home, and
a physician Is in almost constant at
tendance.
Heller, she says, had given not the
slightest inlxllng that anything was
wrong with him, but Detective Parker
is on the trail OF a woman or very fas-
clnating personality. who may be able
to explain the theft and fight of the
clerk.
Some of the bank officials are char
table enough to entertain the view that
Heller may have been temporarily in
sane as a result of some domestic diff
culties or of oyerwork, 1t is known
that he had for a long time been osten-
sibly at work in a closed room of his
home Dol an invention of some char
acter. the nature of which Is not known
Not n OF Heller's photographs can
be found and 1t is supposed that he
destroyed all he could find. in order to
prevent just what the officers wish to
accomplish--warnings to officers OF
other cities to aid in the search for the
young man

BOY, !, GUIDES
WILD RUNAWAY
IN EMILE DASH
Little Camden Hero Takes Reins
After Driver Is Thrown
from Carriage.

CAMDEN, June 16.-Wesley Gray is
only z. but he demonstrated last eve
ming that he possesses all the qualifca-
tons that enter into the makeup of a
hero. When Harry Simpkins drove up
from Westvilie to see Wesley's father.
who keeps a grocery store at 245 Erie
street. the lad got permission to take a
short ride with him on his way home.
Hardly had the return Journey been
started when the horse took fright. AS
the maddened animal veered to one side
Mr.. Simpkihs was thrown out. leaving
Wesley alone in the swiftly-traveling
carriage.
The ordinary boy would have Just
settled back and cried, but Wesley isn't
built that n Gathering up the reins
from h dashboard, the pIucky lad
braced his feet and began saving away
In an effort to bring the horse to a
stop. The speeding animal paid not
the slightest heed to the faint Juggling
on the reins. This fact was apparent
to Wesley. and then he wisely eon-
cluded to save his strength to guide the
horse.
With pedestrians, autos and teams
giving the runaway a wide berth and
trolley cars being hurried across street
intersections to avoid a smash-up, the
horse dashed down Third street from
Erie to Line, a distance of a mile and
a quarter, at break-neck speed When
the animal evinced a desire to turn
into Line street Wesley executed the
curve in dexterous fashion. Six blocks
out the latter thoroughfare the lad
safely guided the runaway into Newton
venue and W blocks north he made
the turn into Trenton avenue with the
whole rig still intact.
Two squares north the gray walls of
the City Hall doomed across the street.
The turn there into Washington street
was too short to be manipulated clearly,
and Wesley guided the horse UP on
City Hall lawn. Across the greensward
sped the animal and 1t was just about
turning the corner of police headquar-
ters building when a lineman grabbed
1t by the bride and halted its wild
career. it had run fully two miles.
Say, mister, where's Third and
Erie?" asked Wesley of Policeman Pike
as be mopped the p~erspiration from his
brow. Wesley insisted on driving back
after Mr.. Simpkins.

AER0PLANE WAR
CRAFT COMING
WITHIN 5 YEARS
Major-G General Bell Says Flying
Machines Will Carry
Guns.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Major-Gen-
eral j.. Franklin Bell, former chief OF
staff of the United States army, who
Is now in New York city, startled army
men today with a prediction that with
in five years war a~eroplanes will be
built to carry a crew of five persons
and a small cargo of explosives. In
addition to this he expected that the
%aeroplane will be able to carry guns
and that ordnance will be devised to
fire upon and destroy air craft from
the ground.
General Bell, who will sail from San
Francisco in a few months to take
command of the Philippine division of
the army, was asked his opinion con-
corning the probable utility of flying
machines from the point of view of the
soldier. His reply was as follows:
For transporting considerable
weight, it would seem probable that
dirigible balloons might be more valu-
able in war than heavier-than-air ma
chimes, yet they are subject to a serious
drawback in making Roadway against
a wind blowing at a considerable rate,
The whole science is still in a state OF
development. However, heavier-than
air machines will in the next few years
be sufficiently developed to make them
reliable in navigating the air except
In the heaviest storms.
"I have personally no doubt that
aeroplanes will be perfected in the
course of a few years that may be re-
lied upon to carry from three to five
persons, and a certain amount Of ex-
plosives In addition"

TOO TIRED TO
FIGHT FIRE. He
WINS VERDICT
Novel Defense of Burned Houses
Owner Frees Him of
Negligence.
Especial 70 the Newark Star. |

TRENTON, June 16.-In its opinion
in the suit of william Fritz against the
Lackawanna Railroad Company the
Supreme Court his sustained the court
below, which rendered a verdict in
favor of Fritz, and in the opinion an
interesting question as to c~ontrbutory
negligence is discussed. The railroad
company argued that Fritz knew of a
disastrous fire that was raging in his
home In Warren county, but that he
failed to go home, and was. conse-
quently, guilty of contributory negli-
gence in the matter of damages by the
fire, which was started from a spark
from a locomotive of the railroad COM
pany. The also claimed that
Fritz saw the fire some time before 1t
reached his property, but made no
effort to check 1t. Fritz admitted hav-
ing seer the fire but it was not proved
that he could have checked it. His
reason stated to the court for not
fighting the fire was that he was very
tired and the fire vas a large fire and
very hot" The Supreme Courts
reasoning in the case follows:
Assuming, but not deciding. that II
1t had been proven conclusively that
plaintiff could have eXtinguished or
checked the fire until help came, with
reasonable effort, his failure SO to do
would be such co~ntributory negligence
as would bar his right of action; yet
the trial court has not so found as a
fact, and was certainly justified In
failing so to find. on the evidence now
before us. Contributory negligence is a
defense, and must be proved, and the
finding of the Common Pleas on a dis
puted question of fact which is in
doubt on the evidence will not be re-
viewed in certiorari."

RECEIVERS POLICY PREMIUMS
HE PAID BY MISTAKE.
[special to the Newark star.1

TRENTON, June 16.-Life insurance
policy premiums paid by Edward Ma
honey by mistake have been recovered
by him In a Supreme Court opinion in
the case of Mahoney against the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company. The
Judgment in the case which IA ren.
dered In the Orange District Court is
sustained.
There were three life insurance poll
cies on the life of Mahoney. He paid
the premiums on them under the I'M
preston that all of them were issued
upon the life of his wife. When she
died he discovered the mistake and
r%epudiated the policies on the ground
that they had been issued without his
knowledge or consent. The policies
were held void because the person in
sured had not signed the applications
for them.

A MISLEADING ERROR.
Nelson At No Time Wanted to Throw
Sponge During Fight.

As the result of a typographical error
In The Forum, some good Fargo sport
who refused to divulge his identity
dropped a piece of money.
In the account of the Nelson VOL
CAST fight published by rounds in full
In The Forum, the statement was made
in the thirty eighth round that. Nelson
was pitiful sight. Nelson want
ed TO throw the sponge, but seconds
took the sponge from him and threw
it in the bucket"
However, If the introduction had
been read carefully, it would have
been plain that the statement that
Nelson wanted to quit, was merely an
error. In the Introduction the fol-
lowing statement appeared:
An effort was made in the thirty
eighth round by Jack Robinson Nell
sons manager, to toss up the sponge,
which, however, was snatched by Abb
dull, the Turk trainer in Nelson's camp"
1t is to be regretted the error was
made and as we'll regretted that the
gentleman lost his money The state
ment itself indicates, when it en-
deavored to say that a trainer took the
liberty with the boss of the camp of in
sisting that he fight against his will,
that there was discrepancy.
1t might be added that The Forum
was the only paper in North Dakota
or northern Minnesota thai published
the report of the lightweight battle
in full.
