Cash R6QiStCr
Disappears

A joke, which did not look
quite that way at the time, was
played on Tuesday night, George
Travis, proprietor of the Pool
Room, and Bob O'giIvie, his
helper, being the jokes. While
Travis was at supper, and quite
crowd in the hall playing pool,
the cash register suddenly disap-
peared. No one had seen it walk
out, and no one had seen it drop
into anyone's arms and make it's
getaway. But it was a stubborn
fact that it was gone. Travis
was called from his home and be-
gan a search. Quite a while later
the register was found in the
yard back of BraXton's saloon,
all intact, and the money still in
the drawer. The perpetrator Of
the joke has not been caught,
and Travis asks that the next
time he be satisfied with taking
only one of the billiard tables in
his vest pocket, but to leave the
cash register.

was in Estancia yesterday. He
reports that the ranger station

ECONOMY Mr.. Gaines has

Fraud Votes?

Judge Fall, in his argument
before the board of canvassers in
the matter Of the returns from
| Clayton precinct, placed the re-
publican judges in a rather awk-
ward light before the people.
There were two republican judges
of election in that precinct and
Judge Fall stated that they
should not be required to sign the
returns because they were in
timidated and because illegal
votes were cast at the election.
We presume that the judges of
election in Clayton precinct, at
the time Of the opening of the
polls on the 7th of November,
subscribed to an oath that they
would faithfully discharge their
duties as judges of the election
in accordance with law. If they
did subscribe to such an oath, why
did they, being in the majority,
allow fraudulent or illegal votes
to be cast? Why did they not do
their duty? If these men were
convinced that any vote offered in
that precinct was illegal, it was
their plain duty to refuse to re-
ceiye it. Judge Fall would hardly
try TO make us believe that the
two republic an judges of election
in Clayton at the last election
were such arrant towards that,
momentarily fearing they would
be made into pepper-box covers,
they took every ballot that was
offered and tremblingly put it
into the ballot box in violation of
their oaths, in violation of the law
and in violation of every manly
instinct What kind of stuff must
the two republicans who acted as
judges cf election in Clayton pre-
cinct be made of to violate their
oaths and the law at the same
time at the request of some poll
tical opponent who is not even
permitted to enter the room
where they are sitting during
the hours that the polls are open?
Doubtless tn republican judges
f election in CLAYTON precinc
are not very proud of the pictur,
ia &c Fall has drawn of thrm. =.

CHICKENS ESCAPE AS FIRE
SWEEPS HARRISON HOUSE.

Several odd features marked the fire
that early today broke out in the
home of Nicholas FortunitoT at 326
Warren street. Harrison. Fortunito
and his wife learned first of the fire
when they reached home at noon to-
day. having come from Bound Brook,
where they had spent a weeks vaca-
ton.
The fire, thought to have been start
ed by a kerosene lamp explosion, licked
up nearly everything on the floor. In
n corner of the kitchen, however, a
hen and her twelve little chicks re-
manned unscorched. The birds began
cackling when the fire was out and it
w only then that the fremen knew
of their presence.
Dominick Rasp, a boarder. was the
last one to leave the house before the
fire. He was one a short time when
a passerby noticed that the place was
afre. An alarm was sounded and the
fremen quickly responded.
The flames shot high in the air and
could be seen for miles around. Hun
dreds of the t~ownspeople unable to
sleep on account of the heat went to
the scene of the blaze and watched
the vamps do admirable work.
On the ground floor lived Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Harris. All of their be-
longlngs were damaged by water.
The house is owned by Joseph Plcheto,
of Harrison. The damage will amount
to about $500.
