TROUBLE RESULTS
OVER PIGS NAME
Fears for His Life Be-
cause He Called Porker
After Neighbor.

When Joseph Leone, of Belleville,
named his pig Antonio" after his
neighbor. Antonio Fosello, whom he
did not like, he omitted to consider
a little thing like Fosello's feelings
in the matter.
Today he hurried to Q police magis-
trate and said that his neighbor had
threatened his life. Accordingly the
magistrate notified Fosello and the
pig to appear before him to explain.
The two men who live on Greylock
avenue, near Passaic avenue, were not
on the best of terms. AS a 'compli-
mentary insult" Leone named his pig
Antonio" and whenever Fosello was
around. 1t is alleged that Leone would
shake bands with Antonio's name
sake, make a great fuss owe it and
say: Hello, Antonio, how are you
today?'
From the first Antonio did not
relish the compliment, neither did
he feel proud of his anmesake, and.
1t Is further alleged, that he resented
-Leone's actions in calling the pig by
his name that he threatened to do
Leone some bodily mischief.

FIRE IN FACTORY
Workers, stifIed by Fumes,
!. Barely Escape Flames That
Destroy Rubber Plant.

Fighting their way through the
sitting fumes of burning rubber ff-
teen men and two women today es-
capped from a spectacular factory fire
in MiIlburn.
Four buildings of the Carter-Bell
Manufacturing Company's plant. In
Millburn e were destroyed, to-
gether with large quantities of raw
rubber and automobile tires. The
damage was $4,000.
The fire started at 10 a. m. in what
was known as the cooking ROOM
The woodwork was ignited, it is
thought, by a burning ember from
beneath one of the kettles.
In an instant the one-story frame
structure, tinder-dry, was in lanes
Three men at work in he cooking
room fled, panic-stricken, to arm the
other employees.
Choking fumes already filled the
factory and the flames spread with
startling rapidity. The workers werc
all but trapped. but they CROPPED their
way out.
An instant later two explosions tore
asunder the flaming wreckage of. the
first building to catch fire. 1t is
thought tina buried gasoline tanks
blew up or that explosive gases were
formed by the chemicals used in
manufacturing rubber.
The fire department managed to
save the office building, which stood
apart from the others. The plant was
insured.
The principal product of h Car
ter-Bell factory is rubber for auto
mobile tires. In the shipping-room
there was $1,000 worth of stock
Grated and ready for consignment.
Plans will probably be made to re-
build the plant Immediately.

CALIFON. July 20.-Horribly mutt
lated as a result of being struck by
a train, a body found today just
west of the High Bridge station of
the Central railroad was identified
as that of Thomas Crawley, of this

presumed, was returning home when
he was struck by ar east-bound
freight train. His face was mutt
lated beyond recognition. Identifi-
cation could only be made by his
clothes.
A curious aspect of the case is
brought sup by the fact thai July 4
last the body of a man killed in the
same was at first identified
as Crawley's. 1t later proved to be
that of Edward Lisco, of Glen Card
ner, who was related to Crawley.
