THE News, last week, reported rob-
berry at New Egypt, in which William
Burtis, superintendent of the Union
Transportation Company. lost some
property. Yesterday Mr.. Burtis received
a letter which contained more than $4,000
worth of stocks and bonds. The letter
was postmarked New York. Mr.. Burtis
employed detectives on the case and
brokers generally were notified of the
theft, but there was no trace of the valu-
ables until the mail produced them.
There is a belief that the thief became
frightened upon learning that the Fly
ers'' sent out had brokers' offices so well
covered and decided to return them
rather than take chance of being
arrested.
Deer hunters were out in full force last
which was the first of the
four Wednesdays of the open season for
that game. Two deer were reported
killed in this county. Samuel ] Taylor,
Of Mount Holly. shot one near Quaker
Bridge, and Charles Wilson, of Retreat,
landed one between Chatsworth and
Atsion. There was one serious cunning
accident. Eugene Bowker, of Vincen-
town, was shot accidentally by Daniel
DeCou. of Tabernacle. DeCou saw
moving in the woods that he
mistook for a deer and shot at it. Bow
ker had on a coat of the color of a
deer. The load took effect in Bowker's
arm. He was brought to the hospital in
Mount Holly He is recovering nicely
and no ill effects are anticipated.
Detectives Parker and Powell yester-
day captured two boys who are supposed
to have committed number of robberies
near Hainesport. Within the past two
weeks Frank Curran's bungalow, at
was entered and robbed of fur
niture, blankets, etc.; the boat house of
Earl Derbyshire, near the Hainesport
bridge, was broken into and bedding,
clothing, table linen, etc., taken there
from, and several other bungalows in
that vicinity met similar treatment
Yesterday the detectives received infor-
nation that two suspicious characters
were in that neighborhood, and the
officers made an investigation. They
arrested Joseph Mensau, aged is, and
Stacy Pine, aged 16, near bungalow in
the vicinity of Vansciver's sand wharf.
"a chisel in possession of one of the boys
was stained with green paint, and door
painted green, showed where they had
tried to break in. The two young men
were taken to Jail. They are well known
in Hainesport. and have been arrested
before for larceny, for which they are
now under parole.
