For more than week the dredge Sandy

for Toms River to dredge out the channel
there before June 1. week ago in the
westerly gale she stranded. and there has
not been day of high tide since that
would allow her to work loose The tug

There were a couple of men who ap-
peared very much Disguised on Wednes-

mobile in which they had been riding.
They came up Washington street, and
when they reached the corner of White a
sudden notion was taken to turn into the
latter street. The turn was sharp, and
the automobile struck the curb on the left
side of the road, and proceeded to climb
on the sidewalk. A large pole stopped
progress and the machine came to a sud
den stop. The front wheels and other
parts of the automobile were put out of
commission, and 1t was necessary to seek
q garage for repairs. As policeman
Severns was on duty at the corner and
calmly watched the entire affair, 1t is pre-
sumed that the rumor that the auto was
going beyond the speed limit was not
correct.
