A dastardly attempt at a repeti-
ton of an assault upon young wo-
man residing on South River street
was frustrated by the energetic ac-
ton of her father and brother last
Monday night, and the culprit is now
in the county Jail, held without bail
for the grand jury.
Mrs. Frank Bergren, age about 22
years, of 81 South River street,
whose business is in New York and
who comes up on the West Shore
railroad, was held up on the Bogota
Causeway last Thursday evening by
the same party, she says.
Since that time it has been GUS
tomary for her to be escorted from
Bogota to her home by member OF
the family or some one whom she
knows.
On Monday evening, after getting
off the train, she telephoned for her
brother. The two had crossed the
Court street bridge and were passing
through Bridge street when this man
SDIduS Out OCilllo q WV etiiN
attempted to run away. The brother,
Ezekiel Delay, gave chase and fol-
lowed the stranger until the latter
went hip-deep in the meadows. The
prisoner retreated and the capture by
young Delay and his father resulted.
Meanwhile Mrs. Bergren had hur-
ried to the phone and notified the
Sheriff's office. The Sheriff and
Warden Kenneth Myerhoff arrived on
the scene at the same time Police
man Wonneberg did, and the latter
took the prisoner in custody.
The accused man, upon reaching
police headquarters, registered as
Joseph Ricco, age 26 years, of 5 Main
street. Justice Purps handled the
case and committed him to Jail.
A number of complaints of like
character have reached the police
lately and Chief Dunn will endeavor
to have Ricco identified.
About three weeks ago a young
woman on Green street was vicious
ly attacked near her home.-Record.

Weather Facts Don't
Seem To Gibe Much,
According To This

"Nice weather we've had these
past few days." said an early-bird
Palisadian to another last Wednes-
day morning to another worm
catcher, as both padded down the
walk to the ferry in the rain.
"Yes, but the snow don't stay on
the ground as long as it used to- re-
piled the second man.
"How do you know that?"
ooh, l heard a man the other day
out in Englewood say they used to
go sleigh riding all winter years
age"
"But haven't we had enough sleigh
riding this winter? 1t began early
last December, and we've had snow
ever SINCE"
"Well, the automobiles cut the
roads into ruts so we can't sleigh
much"
"Oh, but the snow was here all the
same"
81 don't think we have as cold
winters as they used to have" came
back the same second party.
what makes you say that?
Because, I've heard that the Hud-
son used to freeze here in winter"
"Why, since Palisade was born in
1905, eleven years ago now, people
have walked across the Hudson twice
on the ice.'
"You don't say so. You mean from
Edgewater "
eyes, from Edgewter-twice in
eleven years."
"Well, / never knew that"
"The weather never changes; it
only varies"
"Guess you're right"
