she heard shot. 1t is quite probable
that this was about the time Shores
killed himself, for it was evident he
had not been dead very long when the
body was found.
Shores was employed at the Ferra-
cute plant and had worked until nine
o'clock. Shores boarded with a Miss
Lydia Smith On Elm street 1t is said
that Shores was not at home last night
Miss Smith was looking for Shores
this morning.
Shores was usually a quiet fellow
1t is said that he had a visit from his
mother from Philadelphia on Satur-
day and there was a serious dispute
which had depressing effect upon
the young fellow. The body was TAX
en- in charge by Coroner Joseph Simp-
son.

SUICIDE IN
NEARBY WOODS
Earl Shores Kills Him :
Se.f.
THE BODY IS FOUND.
Young Man Worked Last Night anu
Was Not at His Home
ALI Night.

The dead body of Earl Shores, "a
years old, an employe of the Ferracute
Machine Company's plant, was found
dead this morning. The young man
was suicide.
The body was discovered about half
past six o'clock this morning, lying
upon the ground at the base of big
cedar tree, just at the north outskirts
of the woods surrounding the retain
ing reservoir on East Commerce
street. The spot is not far east of
Coral avenue.
A colored man discovered the body
lying at full length upon the ground,
blood pouring from his right ear. The
colored man notified nearby people,
and quite crowd collected about the
spot.
A reporter was upon the ground
shortly after seven o'clock. The young
man lay with his head southwark,
prone upon his back. One leg was
slightly drawn up. Each arm was ma
turally at the side of the body, the
right hand showing cramp as if it
had grasped a pistol for the fatal shot.
A light overcoat and blue serge suit
was pulled up about the shoulders ex-
posing a black shirt which covered the
body.
The body lay about three feet from
the base of big cedar tree. There
was evidence of blood directly at the
base of the tree, and more convinc-
ing trail of blood was shown leading
from the tree to the big pool where
the body lay.
There was no evidence of the revol-
yer which had snuffed out the life, but
the reporter discovered shortly that
the, weapon was under the body just
at the small of the back.
1t was evident that Shores had sat
upon the ground leaning with his
back to the tree. With his right hand
he had put the muzzle of the pistol,
a thirty-two calibre weapon, directly
in his right ear and pulled the trigger.
In the death struggle that followed,
Shores had rolled over upon the
grounfll and covered the pistol where
it had fallen from his grasp.
Just when the suicide occurred, no
one seems to know. One man living
in the neighborhoods said that he heard
a shot about IL O'Clock last night. A
woman who lives not far. from the
place said it was about s O'Clock when

Fellows WI o Comm tied
Crime.

Sheriff Harry J. Garrison took an
even half dozen prisoners to Trenton
this morning to begin serving their
indeterminate sentences ranging from
one to fourteen years.
The sheriff was accompanied by
constables Hamlyn and Bacon. The
prisoners were Oscar Mick for years
minimum to IA year maximum, for
stealing horses.

The fellow Frank Albert who cre-
ated such a scene when he was taken
to Jail, created another scene when
taken to the train.
The officers simply gagged and
handcuffed him and carried him right
along without ceremony.
He laid back in the seat of the car
and moaned as loud as he could with
his mouth stuffed full with cotton
gag. The fellow is either demented
or vicious. The officers were not TAX
ing any chances with him.

MEET TO-DAY
Ano hsr Session at Coun j
Building.
ROUTINE MATTLRS
Business of the County Taken Up
nd Passed Upon by the
County Legislators.

The October session of the Board of
; Chosen Freeholders convened this
morning at the County Building, all
of the members being present little
before ten o'clock in the room set
apart for the meetings Of the Board.
Yesterday afternoon the finance
committee met and approved a big
batch of bills and these were upon the
County Collectors table ready to be
passed upon by the Board.
Director Bacon, of Greenwich town
ship, was in the chair when the Board
convened.
1t was known that early this
afternoon the members of the Board
are to dine as guests of the officers
of the Board, and there was an effort
made at once to crowd all of the busi-
ness of the Board in a morning ses-
sion.
Shortly after twelve o'clock, the
Board adjourned and the members
took special car which had been pro-
vided, and which was in front of the
County Building. The car goes direct
through to Bivalve, where prepara-
tions have been made for a good, old
fashioned oyster dinner and the mem
bers have happy anticipation as the
oysters at this point must be just
fresh and the best that comes from
Maurice River Cove. 1t is expected
that the Board will be at the table at
1.30 o'clock. Following the dinner
there will be a visit to the oyster
wharves and an opportunity will be
given the members to watch the oy-
ster boats come in from the Cove with
the cargoes of bivalves for the big city
markets.
Immediately the Board convened
this morning, the minutes of the prev
ious session were read and approved,
and bills were taken up separately and
passed. Reports of committees fol-
lowed, indicating what had been done
with bridge repairs, etc.
DR.. Elsmore Sites was present and
said he appeared as tax payer to ad-
dress the Board of Chosen Freeholders
regarding the Bridgeton Hospital. He
said he had been asked by many of
his clientele to protest against pub
lie appropriation of public money to
what is thought to be public insti-
tuition, the Bridgeton Hospital.
To the very apparent prejudiced
statement made by DR.. Sites, reply
was made by Mr.. Charles F. Reeves.

olution, which was adopted by the

olution, which was adopted by the
unanimous vote of council.
Whereas, under an act of the Leg
islature of 1912, entitled "An act con-
cerning State Highways" the Road
Commissioner is authorized to connect
county seats by state highways with
a due regard to reasonable directness
of route, and over route which will
form avenue of travel, and
Whereas, route is now being con-
sidered to connect the county seats of
Cumberland and Atlantic counties,
and
Whereas, Lands avenue is direct
route and the line of heaviest travel
in the county and serves population
OF over $4,000 and
Whereas, the said Landis avenue is
three rod road for it's entire length,
making unnecessary the purchase of
abutting land for state highway pur-
poses.
Now therefore be it resolved, by the
City Council of the City of Bridgeton,
that we earnestly petition the Honor
able Commissioner of State Highways
and the Highway Commissioner of the
State Of New Jersey to select said
Lands avenue as the route for the
proposed highway to connect the coun-
ty seats of Cumberland and Atlantic
counties.

PROGRESSIVES FAIL
To Get Recognition on County
Election Boards

The state board of elections
Monday declined to recognize the
progressive party and incidentally
refused to grant the request of G.
Tom Taylor to allow progressive
representation on the county
boards of the state.
Several vacancies were filled by
the board, including a new board
in McNairy, also a new one in
Claiborne county.
j. H. Acklin, representing the
McMillin campaign committee,
urged that McMillin be given fair
representation in Knox and Nc
Marry counties. Judge 5. M.
Young, chairman. of the board, as
sured Col. Acklin that the appoint
ments of various county boards
would be made with the under
standing that they were democrats.

STOCK BARN BURNED
N. D. Marshall, Near Trezevant,
Suffers Heavy Loss

Fire destroyed the large stock
and feed barn of N. D, Marshall,
near Irrelevant, last Sunday night.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is believed to have been the
work of an incindiary. 1t seems
to have been set in several differ
ent places. 1t was new barn,
having been built this summer.
Together with the barn were de-
stroyed, three head of horses and
mules, COW, hay, corn and farm
tools, making a total loss of over
$1,000. We understand Mr.. Mar
shall had 5000 insurance.
Immediately after the fire blood
hounds were secured and an eff
fort made to trail the miscreants,
but the dogs failed to accomplish
any good, and Mr.. Marshall is left
without any clue. A neighbor,
+. t. Hurt, lost his large barn and
some fine stock last spring by fire.

ROOSEVELT SHOT
WOuld-be Murderer Fails in Ills
Attempt to Kill

Col. Theodore Roosevelt was
shot in Milwaukee last Monday
night on his way to make a speech.
The aSsailant takes deliberate aim
and sends bullet crashing into the
former presidents right side just
below the nipple.
The would-be murderer gives
the name OF John Schrenk and
New York as his residence. He
is laundryman and left his home
about one month ago. The man
had evidently been in Nashville,
Tenn, recently, for in his pocket
was found a copy of Col. Roose-
velt's itinerary written on menu
card of the Bismarck hotel in
Nashville.
AS Col. Roosevelt stepped into
an automobile to 80 to the audi
forum, where he was to make a
speech, the shot was fired. The
shooter was caught at once and
unarmed He attempted to shoot
the second time. In opposition to
the advice of his physician the de-
termined presidential candidate
went on to his speaking place and
delivered a speech. The wound
was not a serious one, being pro-
nounced superficial by bis doctor.
The bullet was imbedded in the
muscular tissue and did not reach
the lungs. The ,colonelrwas car
ried to Chicago to be treated.
At last accounts Mr.. Roosevelt
was doing we'll and will likely be
out again in a few week.

l.. T. S. Defeated

The /. T. S. played the second
game of the season Monday after
noon against Waverly high school.
The visitors scored the only points
of the game on pretty run early
in the third quarter. Huntingdon
was heavily outweighed, but had a
little the better of the first period
of play. In the second bad
tumble gave Waverly an oppor-
tunity and forced the lighting hard,
but lost the ball three times close
to the line. After the touchdown
neither team could gain consist
entity and the game resolved itself
into punting duel, in which Ed
wards got more distance, but
Waverly excelled in running the
ball back.

TRAGEDY NEAR M'KENzIE
J. D. Wallace Kills Ills Brother-ln-
law, Frank Adams. Saturday 4

Last Saturday evening, Just
after shutdown, j. ID. Wallace shot
and killed his brother-in.law,
Frank Adams, on the public road,
three miles west of Mckenzie.
Wallace used a revolver, shooting
five times, one of the bullets strik-
ing Adams in the heart, killing
him instantly. Wallace is farmer
about 80 years old and very popu-
lar. Adams was about 80 and dis
sipated. The tragedy is said to be
the result of an old grudge, and
Wallace claims self-defense.
Adams is alleged to have tried
to kill himself several times and
to have told a business man OF
Mckenzie that he was tired OF
living and that he was going to
use a knife on someone he knew
would shoot him,
1t is said that several months
ago he went to the home of Wal
lace and drove him away with
shotgun. Later Wallace had him
arrested, and it is alleged that
Adams said he would get even"
with Wallace. 1t is also alleged
that Adams told acquaintance
Saturday that he intended to LAY
for" Wallace on the road that Wal
lace had to travel to reach home,
and get him." Wallace was
warned of these reports. The two
met on the road, q quarrel ensued,
and is is said that Adams started to-
ward Wallace with drawn knife,
when Wallace opened fire.
Following the shooting, Wallace
telephoned to Mckenzie, reported
the killing, came to town and sur
rendered to the authorities. 1t is
said that Adams father, who is
Wallace's father-in-law, has stated
that he will not prosecute Wallace.
Adams is well-known here, hav-
ing been in the courts here several
times for small law violations.

to be present at this meeting, if
you possibly can; for our success
as teachers and the success of our
pupils depend upon the interest
we take in the work we are doing.
To those on the program, you are
urged to do your best.
A fellow teacher in another
county remarked, to your chair
man a few days ago, that the
teachers meetings of Carroll
county are more interesting than
those of that county. Why is that
so9 1t is because the teachers
make it so. Now, if you are one
that has been faithful to the cause,
don't you feel proud9 Be not sat
ished with present success, but
strive to do better every day.
Come to the meeting with some
thing good, expecting to renew
your enthusiasm aud to return
with the determination of return
ing to your winter work to make
it the best term of all your teach
ing.
Some teachers have suggested
local teachers meetings be held
over the county for the benefit of
teachers in the extreme portions
of the county. If you want a
meeting at your place make your
wants known. We wish to do
what is best for the success of the
cause. Most respectfully,
w. j. FoRREss. Chairman.
