The high tides of the past few days
have caused a break in the river bank
On the property of Mrs Lulu II. Hol-
comb, causing part of her farm to be
inundated.
The funeral Of City Assessor John

ment I'm Glebe Cemetery
Robert II. MegginsOn used his big
automobile yesterday hauling passen-
gers between Red Lion bridge and
Delaware City. The high tide on the
marsh caused another wash-out be-
meath the tracks of the trolley road
and the regular trolley schedule had
to be continued by the use of the
automobile.
Gunners were out in force yester-
! day and the fellow who succeeded in
getting two or three rabbits came
home smiling.
1T was a terrible day." said one
gunner last night I'VE walked miles
and miles and beat and beat for rab.
bits. Then about the time we were
going into what seemed to be goo,
hunting grounds we met either nc
trespass signs or the farmer wht
refused TO let us go any further
without the dogs all the sport has
been taken out of cunning and all we
can do is to wait and hope that the
quarantine may be lifted. Several gum
ners bagged as many as four rabbits,
but the general average was one each.
It has been customary at times for
some passengers on the trolley cars to
take a nap. One of those who usually
got in "forty winks" between the cities,
said last night: mo more maps ON the
cars for me. ] want to see which way
I am going, and when the big stoves
have started exploding I do not propose
to take any chances in the future"
