DELAWARE'S NEW
STAR PLAYER
Team Wins Game From
Gettysburg

Delaware played the fourth
game of her basketball season last
Friday night, with the Gettysburg
five, defeating the visitors by
score of II to Is.
Edward Lacklen, young Soph-
omore from Wilmington, was the
hero of the game. This was Lack
lem s first appearance on the var
sity but from the record of Friday
there is little doubt that he has
won a permanent place on the team.
He has played basketball for sew
eral seasons, gaining experience last
year while attending school in
Ohio.
Rigney played his usual good
game, making foul goal during
the last minute of play which won
the contest for Delaware. The
game was interesting from start tC
finish and was one Of the cleanest
ever seen in Newark.

sewer Meeting
Well Attended
VOLUME "

For the purpose OF discussing
the sewer bill recently prepared a
bubble meeting Of the citizens of
|Nrwark was held in Town Council
chambers last Friday night. No
vote was taken, as the bill, if pass
rd by the Legislature, will be sub
iprt to vote Of the people at the
town election in April.
Mayor Joseph H. Hossinger was
CHOSEN chairman Of the meeting
and Frank Cooch secretary. The
bill discussed had been prepared by
DR.. Kollock, Professor Charles l..
Penny. Edward l.. Richards, John
Filling and Theodore F. Arm
strong, a committee appointed by
Mayor Hossinger for that purpose
some weeks ago. 1t was read to the
meeting by r. Chalkley Hatton of
Wilmington, sewer engineer, who
had assisted the committee in it's
preparation.
The bill provides for direct as
scssment to pay for the entire
amount but gives a property own
en- the privilege of paying his as
sessment in five equal annual in
stallments, if so desired Mr.. Hat
ton stated that the committee
thought this best because of the
l fact that it was the only way to
get Delaware College and other
n-assessable properties to pay
their share. Including the college,
the fraternity houses, school and
churches the property that is now
non-assessable would pay about one
uninth of the total cost under this
Ihill. 1t is understood that the col
vIrgp is not only willing but anxious
to pay it's share if a sewer can be
uSocured.
Il While some property owners
really favored plan of paying for
he sewer by long term bonds, SC
rhat the present generation would
rot have to stand the entire cost
he fact that the worcestershire
property would pay for one-ninth
pf the entire system was strong
argument in favor of the present
EIl. Others thought that a portion
n l0ult be assessed direct and the
.tpainder of the money secured OF
ng term bonds. The bill, how
ver, in that particular will remain
S drawn, and those opposed to i
rill have an opportunity to vot'
gainst it either next April or th'
own election in 1914, in the even
i the passage Of the bill.
In answer to questions Mr.. Hat
bn said that under the tentativ,
Ian there are about $4,000 linea
BET Of property that would be as
essed. He estimated that the sys

Misfortune BefaIIS PosSeSSoT OF

Denver, olo.-Misfortune has be-
fallen each for the last three posses

One married woman mourns the loss
Of the ring and loss Of gentleman

the fact that he will have to stand trial
on a charge of larceny; a pawnbroker
mourns the fact that the ring was
Snatched from him by violence by
constable and the constable, although
he is not doing any particular mourn
ing, declares that he came near losing
mis- life in an effort to capture the
ring.
1t all started in a private dining
room Of a downtown hotel. Jack
Chandor held the bejeweled hand OF
Mrs. Estelle Croxson in his own. In
a playful mood he is alleged to have
slipped off the diamond ring and
placed it on his own finger, after
which he was unable, 1t is alleged, to
get the ring off The lady waited for
several days and the ring was lot re-
turned. Chandor was arrested and
pawn ticket on the Newton Loan CON-
pany was found in his pocket.
Papers to get the ring were sworn
out and a constable started to the shop
to get the ring. The constable says
he was refused the possession Of the
ring and that when he tried to get out
of the safe the son of the proprietor
of the shop drew gun on him. After
considerable skirmishing he declares
h succeeded in disarming the pawn
broker.
Upon the refusal of the pawnbroker
to open the safe the constable deliV-
cred an ultimatum to him Either the
the safe must be opened and the ring
delivered to him or he would go
for a moving van and transport the
entire safe to the court of Justice
Mills.
Facing the possibility of losing a
safe the pawnbroker surrendered the
ring, and 1t was turned over to the
district attorney. Providing no fur
