STRENUOUS EFFORTS TO HALT
WIRE THIEVERY IN CITY

The local police are making siren
uous efforts to apprehend the whole
sale wire cutting thieves, who strip
ped the spans of cables from several
sections of the Public Service Elec-
trio Company's line between this city
and Sewaren, as reported by Super
intendent William Chamberlain yes
terday morning.
1t was learned today that the big
gest haul made by wire thieves in
this section in years, was made this
week when seven strand cables were
stripped from poles In the vicinity
of Maurer. 1900 pounds of the ca
Bile, measuring several thousand feet
were cut, and 1t Is believed, sold for
junk. The wire is valued at 1915.
Wire thieves have continually made
hauls by stripping poles of wires,
but this is the biggest that has bxen
reported here for long time. The
line stripped had been dead recently,
which information must have come
to the knowledge of the thieves.

pSos That Froth at the Mouth.


There is a prevalent impression that
"frothing at the mouth" is proof that a
dog is mad" The rabid dog does not
"froth." The dog that does usually
has some stomach trouble or has been
running hard and shows 1t. just as
hard driven horse does. Remembrance
of this fact should prevent lot OF
cruelty to sick, lost, tired and frighten-
ed dogs. When you see a dog "froth-
ing at the mouth" don't yell for police
men and guns. Just let the poor beast
alone, or try to get 1t into quiet cor
ner where it can lie down and rest.
Then give 1t dish of cold water and
keep on letting 1t alone, and insist that
your neighbors do likewise.-Chicago

The testimony in the court showed
the Kralino and Carter were in the Of
flee of A. p. Tone Wilson between 2

was to pay the next day
When Kralino awakened later the
