involving Inc possession OF
the Walnut Avenue House and annex
at Anglesea, q of the Oldest hotels on
the island. The property is now occu-
pied by Lewis Bishop and it is owned
by John J. Sturmer, a minor, who
heired the property at the death of his
father. The boys mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Siegler, is his guardian, who
brought the suit for possession against
Bishop. The hotel was originally leas-
ed at $500 per year for five years to
William A. Turner, who when he left
Anglesea sold the lease to Bishop,
which expired June l, 1916. The
Siegler family moved here some months
ago and are anxious TO get possession
Of the property and had made every
arrangement to take possession of the
premises or the first of June. Judge
n. II. Voorhees, represented Mrs. Sieg-
Ter and Harry w. Kramer, Of Camden,
was the attorney for Bishop. Counsel
for Bishop asked for a trial by jury,
which was denied. Theodore g. w.
Miller testified that he witnessed the
lease which bore date Of November /,
1911. Bishop testified that he did not
sign the lease until July 20. 1912, and
entered into possession of the premises
at that time under the terms of the
lease. Squire Coombs reserved a deci
sion until Wednesday when he gave
judgment in favor of Mrs. Siegler for
possession of the premises with costs on
Bishop.
The 1.27 mixed fish, passenger and
freight train which runs from Five
Mile Beach to Millville, made a record
a few days ago, when four refrigerator
car loads of fish were picked up at
Anglesea, three iced cars at Sea Isle
Junction and one refrigerator car load
Of strawberries from Belle Plain, max
ing this very useful, but mighty slow
train one half hour late arriving at
Millville. This shows that the fish are
running strong again in The pound nets
and each day this week there has been
tremendous shipments of fish on
practically all the trains leaving the
beach. Refrigerator cars are hooked
on the express and fish are delivered in
Philadelphia less than three hours out
OF the ocean. The king fish enthusiasts
are busy and big catches are being
made off the boardwalk at 22d avenue,
and likewise in Hereford Inlet on the
shoals of Champagne Island. One
fisherman, Captain Bob Mccall, of the
life saving station, took As pounds OF
king fish in less than three hours, fol-
which he received over $500 from New
York buyers; Of course it Is a well
known fact that king fish are deemed
a delicacy and many people who cal
crab salad never for the moment sur
mise that they are eating king fish
Lieutenant H. Bush, retired, of thu
Philadelphia Police department, anC
his brother are making big catches
daily. Lieut.. Bush is we'll known as
winter clammer, spending much of his
time in the bay during the cool weather
and always coming home with a bush
ell or more of these high priced bivalves
Captain Idell has been getting fish of
the board walk which measure W. two
feet, says George Connor. The bake are
taking the hook lively and it is great
sport for those who get any Of them.
Weak fish are also in the inside waters
and founders are being taken right of
Mace's wharf at Anglesea every hour of
the day by visiting fishermen.
Children's Day at the Anglesea Bap
fist church was a most delightful at
fair. The new minister, Rev. NJ.
Thomas, a student from Crozler Semi
nary, had the affair in hand and at the
evening service there was nearly 100
attendants. The church was filled with
flowers from the mainland both cut
and in pots, while canary birds made
the scene blend with the number of
little youngsters dressed In white.
Senator Wheaton gave a beautiful talk
to the children, and among other things
told them not to rob birds nests or des-
troy anything that helped make the
world beautiful and pleasant to live in.
The singing and speaking of the chill
dren was a much enjoyed feature.
North Wildwood is facing three'Hig
Improvements, one of which has al
rea iy been completed; the building Of
magnifi cent Surf avenue, $50 feet from
house line to house line aud twenty
six blocks long. The other two i'm
provements conte nplated are the ex-
tension of the board walk from Sixteen
tn avenue TO Third avenue which will
probably be undertaken this fall.
There is no doubt that the extension
of the board walk to Anglesea, giving
