Political conditions are undoubtedly
largely responsible for the desire to
delay action on the Dillingham; bill.
1t is known that many members fear
the result of any final action on this
measure coming on the eve of elec-

thing possible to delay and prevent
such action.
1t is generally conceded that some
such measure as the Dillingham; bill

an aged farmer and descendant OF
one OF Burlington county's Oldest fam

able money is hidden about the old
home ID the belief oil neighbors, who

after days of suffering without medi'
cal attendance he was dragging him
self toward the public highway to
seek aid. He Is now a ward of the
county In the asylum at New Lisbon,
and the county court has ordered that
bis estate be converted into cash.
Since his brother Joseph died many

sole occupant of the homestead farm
about three miles from Burlington, OF

missing for several days before neigh

"the wild man of Borneo."

years on the same feathered bed,
When the ticking wore away, he did
not change 1t for one of nearly a dozen
mattresses In good condition found
stored In an upper room. Nor did he
change the bed coverings although
mahogany chests and bureaus were
