LIKES POISON


Gave the Officers A Scare
Lism Prue was thirsty Monday
and desiring to quench his thirst
purchased a pint bottle of denatured
alcohol at one of the drug stores.
An hour afterward the police were
notified that a drunken man was ca
vorting about in Paddock Village.
One of the officers fastened to the
scene and quickly brought Prue to
the Police Station where he was
searched and placed in a cell to
sober off. A few minutes later one
of the officers picked up the bottle
which was found in Prue's hip pock-
ct and glancing at the label was hor-
rified to find the bottle marked
poison. A doctor was summoned
and Prue given an emetic He was
then removed to the home of a rela-
tive on Marion Avenue by the DO
lice on advise of the physician where
he was left to die. The next morn
ing they went to look for him and
found that he had departed for
parts unknown during the night.
The chief Of police says Prue drank
about a third of pint of the dena-
tured alcohol and apparently thrfves
on it, but the doctor says enough
was used to kill two ordinary men.

The Flag at Trenton.

The flag that Washington had with
him when he crossed the Delaware to
attack Trenton" was not the stars
and stripes" Washington crossed the
Delaware in December, 1776, and the
stars and stripes did not have an ex-
istence until the June of 1777, when it
was voted into being by the congress.
The nag that waved over General
Washington on his way to and from
Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, as at present,
with blue canton emblazoned with
the crosses Of st. George and st. An
drew, as In the British flag. The first
time the present stars and stripes were
flung to the breeze was on the day of
the battle of Oriskany at Fort Stan
