Asst. Prosecutor
Agnew On Search
For Dead Man

Assistant Prosecutor Arthur M.
Agnew had a grim experience early
this week when in the course of his
official duties he came upon the de-
caying body of man on the heights
above Alpine.
The corpse had been discovered by
a band of young lads who had hur-
ried to the interstate park police with
their news. The police at once tele-
phoned the Prosecutors office at
Hackensack, and in response Mr..
Agnew together with County Physi-
clan Ogden and Detective Blauvelt
had met the police with their patrol
launch at Dyckman street ferry, and
FASTENED to the base of the cliff at
the top of which was the body of the
unfortunate. The Palisades at this
point are 300 feet high. After climb
of fully $50 feet of Alp-like steepness,
Viz oooioCei prosecutor anu Ills
came upon the dead man.
The body which appeared to have
passed through forty years of life,
showed signs of decomposition. The
clothes were old and threadbare.
The shoes on the feet were not mates.
Nothing was in the pockets.
The remains were carried with
difficulty to the base of the cliff. On
the climb down the assistant prose
cutor narrowly escaped a dangerous
accident. AS it was, his foot became
wedged under heavy boulder, and
it was only after hard and pain
full tug that the member was finally
extricated.
The party then proceeded with their
pitiful burden to the Englewood
morgue, where it was held for identi-
fication. At last report no claim
had been made. The detectives, how
ever, have been active on the case and
revelations are looked for at any mo-
ment

Champion Whistler
Lives Somewhere
In This Section

A young chap in the early TWEEN
ties, and who lives somewhere in this
section of New Jersey, is the "Cham-
peen" whistler. He generally takes an
early morning boat, comes on rather
late, and goes through the ladies
cabin whistling "Suwanee River" in a
shrill, loud, ear-splitting key that
makes everybody sit up and listen.
The beauty of his whistling voice
must be apparent to him personally,
because nobody else can see it.
When he has paraded through the
entire length of the boat he goes on
the foredeck and keeps up his original
ditty. He seems to be entirely oblivi-
Gus to the fact that all hands are OBJ
serving him closely and in wonder
ment. There being muller cut-out
periods to his mouth piccalo solos,
he occasionally adds to the piercing
notes by dancing a bit of buck and
wing near the bow gate, apparently
in glee that he'll soon be over. His
dancing is dDOuI DIS graceful DIS Ills
whistling.
"That fellow must be bughouse,"
said a passenger the other morning.
"No, he's only daffy," added
another
"Mebbe he's a whistling MASTER"
was suggested.
"a whistling mister, you mean,"
chimed in the jokesmith.
81 bet he's been eating green per-
simmons and can't help it," laughed
still another passenger.
AS the boat was nearing the slip,
an elderly gentleman, wearing spec
tacles and an umbrella, walked out on
the bow deck and deliberately turned
and faced the whistling youth, look
ing him in the eye, and stepping a
bit closer as though he wanted to
pierce him, wither him with look
He succeeded. The noise maker shut
up like a clam till his foot hit the
bridge; then he trotted off whistling
"Suwanee River" again.
"Thedamidiot!" muttered the eld-
erly person
