HUNT BOY WHOSE
FALSE SIGNAL SENT
BOB-sLED INTO GAR
Children Guard Name of Culprit
Who Caused Crash That
Injured Six.

Due TO the carelessness or mischieV-
ousness of a 10-year-old boy, whose
name is. carefully guarded by his COM
panions, six children are nursing
bruised bodies and broken limbs to-
day and congratulating themselves
that they are not dead as the. result
of a crash of a bob-sled with a Mt.
Prospect avenue trolley a at Mt.
Prospect and Montclair avenues.
A score of children got a. big sled
and began to bob" down an ice-cov-
cred hill at this point. At the base
of the hill are the trolley tracks of the
Mt. Prospect avenue line. Realizing
the danger of collision with a car,
which came at frequent intervals, the
children decided to place a guard at
the foot of the steep hill whose duty
it was to signal to the steerer of the
sled. If the coast was clear the signal
wat to be the raising of one hand and
If a car was approaching w hands
were to be raised. Each of the chill
dren took turns acting. as s"1agmen."
There were ten children on the sled.
and ~16-year-old Walter Winterbottom,
of S07 Ridge street, was at the steer
ing wheel, when one hand was raised
at the foo of the hill, signaling q
clear road, Inc the lied started on its
Journey, accompanied by the merry
shouts and laughter of the occupants.
As the sled gained momentum when
it neared the bottom of the hill. VIM
terbottom saw the signal boy run
away, and at the same time heard
the clang of the approaching trolley
car. He did the best he could to clear
the trolley car, but he could not pre-
vent the sled from crashing into the
rear wheels. The children on the sled
were tossed about like so many nine
pins and they lay bruised and bleeding
in the -snow-covered roadway.
Hundreds ran to the scene and took
care of the injured. OF the ten on the
sled only four escaped injury. Winter
bottom was injured about the head
and was unconscious for an hour.
Walter Hatch, II years old. of Cliff
ton avenue and Irving street, had his
right shoulder d~islocated; Rudolph
Beck, IL years old, of SIS Mt. Prospect
avenue had his right arm broken. and
Mildred Lynch. IL years old, of 776 Mt.

Fails.

RAMSEY, Jan. S.-"How old is a pup
when it becomes a dog?'' is a question
that is worrying ecclesiastical minds In
the Presbyterian Church here.
When the Rev. DIR. Herbert Brown
until last Sunday pastor of the church,
refused 10 pay his poll tax and de-
clared hotly he knew the law. his
parishioners thought he must either be
mistaken or must underrate himself.
The minister has accepted q call to
the church at Ridgewood, and last sun
day preached his farewell sermon.j
Charles e. May, the tax collector, hear-'
ing that the minister was going away
attended church, and after the service
told the pastor he must pay his pou.
and dog tax. The pastor said he would
pay nothing. II
Robert Ferguson. marshal, was at
the parsonage door Monday morning,
with q warrant, but thought SO highly
of the dominic that he suggested they
go before the Borough Council instead
of to Jail. There the minister laid
down THIS point of ecclesiastical laws

pup was not old enough. he said

The Leather Bottle Inn

On the Dover road at Northfeet
Just where the old road, down which
David Copperfield trudged on his
weary pilgrimage 20 Dover, breaks
away on its temporary parting from
what is now the main road, is an old
inn named the Leather Bottle. Over
the door hangs veritable leather bot
tie. The uninitiated Dickensian is
momentarily deceived into the belief
that here is the Leather Bottle of
Pickwick fame. and is disgusted when
he discovers that this is still four
miles farther on. Nevertheless, this
is one of the few real Dickens inns.
still remaining. Dickens, when on his
long country tramps, often turned in
there for refreshment, and the chair
he usually occupied is still to be seen
priceless in the eyes of the host
