Rarneeat Park Sold.

BarneRat Park Sold.
Barnegat Park, the once countrywide
famed resort for army and navy men,
was sold at Sheriff's sale on Tuesday to
Samuel A. Cook, OF Neenah. Winnebago
county, Wisconsin, for $41, 558.62. The
sale was d foreclosure by Samuel Bryant,
receiver OF the Holland Trust Company
of New York, against Leon Stern.
The resort town, Barnegat Park, was
started about 1889 by Lieut.. Edward S.
Farrow, of the U. s. Army, who is now
living at Asbury Park. He intended to
make it resort exclusively for army
and navy officers, and more particularly
a winter resort. He put into it great
deal of money, much business acumen,
and an unlimited amount of energy and
enthusiasm.
The new resort had rapid growth
A fine hotel was built, called the Pines,
and costing something like $4,000
there were number of cottages started
and church was erected. The resort
had its own bank and its own news
paper; there was a grocery store, big
livery stable and the future seemed as
sured. Then lawsuit, or rather verit-
able storm of lawsuits, broke out be-
tween Farrow and his Barnegat Park
Co. on one side, and the Holland Trust
Company of New York on the other
side. They foreclosed blanket mort
gage on the whole property, and he
fought it. In the Chancery court the
mortgage was pronounced valid, and the
foreclosure followed, the property being
sold. by John A. Montgomery, Trenton
lawyer, as .eceiver, and bought in by
the Trust Company, while in another
suit in the Supreme court, the mortgage
was pronounced invalid. There was
little wonder that ordinary folks in this
section could not get the right of the
dispute.
Lieutenant Farrow was arrested and
taken to the county Jail at one time in
one of the many controversies; he was
ordered to Montana to rejoin his regi-,
ment, and resigned from the service
after going as far as Chicago, and return
ed home. For this he was court-martial-
led, but was acquitted.
After stirring times the property laid
dormant till about three years ago,
when it was bought by Leon Stern,
New York real estate operator. BE held
it till now, when the receiver for the
Trust Company, who had sold the prop
erty to Stern, foreclosed on the purchase
price mortgage, and it is bid in by the
Wisconsin man.

For River BRIDGE OnIv

4
Under a resolution adopted by the
Delaware River Bridge and Tunnel
Commission, in Camden, Wednesday.
the members placed themselves on rec
ord as favoring bridge only. When a
resolution was adopted by the Board of
Freeholders instructing County Collect
or Sell to turn over to the Commission
the sum appropriated, Director Jehn
Prentice showed also that the Freehold
ers favored bridge instead Of q tunnel
when he said: 81 have found from the
very inception of this idea to have a con-
Meeting link between this city and
Philadelphia that the sentiment has un-
animously been in favor OF bridge.
Such structure meets with the require
ments Of all classes of citizens, and pro-
visions may be made for vehicular traf-
flc as well. With suitable bridge the
terminals on either end could be used
during the summer as recreation piers
and there are other features that would
come with such structure that would
be impossible with mere tube beneath
the Delaware"

Game League Meeting.

At meeting of the Burlington
County Game Protective League, held
at the court house, on Saturday, it
was reported that only sixteen rabbits
had been liberated in the county this
season by the State Game Commission.
1t is hoped that this allotment is to be
added to in the near future, and, if so,
the league has made application to be
the distributors of the next shipment.
Secretary Mingin reported that he
had received three ring-neck pleas
ants by express, on Friday, but did
not know who had sent them.
Those present at the meeting were
not in favor of getting more of these
pheasants for this county, as the birds
are too tame and too easily killed. The
state commission seems to hold the
pheasant in high esteem, judging by
the large numbers that are propagated
on the state farm at Forked River.
The league believes that rabbits and
quails are the game that is needed in
this county.
Game Warden Morton reported that
no quails can be bought outside this
state, but that rabbits can be obtained
He stated that he had been cores
ponding with a dealer in New Mexico
who has a quantity of fine, large rab-
bits to sell at twenty cents each. Mr.
Morton said that few persons had
authorized him to purchase 100 for
private distribution. A motion was
passed providing that Mr.. Morton be
authorized to order 100 for the league
and that when the animals arrive they
be distributed in this county by the
trustees of the organization. The
probable cost of the leagues shipment
including transportation charges, will
be $50.
Secretary Mingin reported that il
had been difficult to learn all the laws
relative to game that had been passed
by the legislature, but that the follow

1t was stated that no changes had
been made in the seasons for killing
game except for wild ducks, brant,
etc., the dates for which had been made
from October LIST and March Is.
These dates are in conflict with the

An amendment to the sheep protec-
ton law was passed requiring that all
dogs must be registered with the town
ship or city clerk, at cost of one dol
lar, and that every dog must wear
collar inscribed with the owners name,

citizen is empowered to kill all dogs
running at large without such collar.

bridge the bylaws were amended so
that any resident of the state may be

Laet Friday evening the commercial
club met in special session with the
representative residents of the towI

proving the streets Of the town ant
the roads leading into the city from
the surrounding farming communities
WAiie the people of Kendrick realize
limits are under the supervision OF
the county, yet they are alive to the
fact that the improvements which
they are able to make themselves for
the benefit of county roads will event
uaaly result in benefit to the town
At this time. the club considered the
Improvement of the road between the
eastern boundary of the town and
Nauncher gulch or, in all, about one
mile of the worst road in Latah coun-
ty. This piece of road will be taken
care Of at once through the efforts OF
the club and the residents of the
tewn.
On a day agreed upon by the peo-
pie every able bodied man in Ken
drick will shoulder pick and shovel
and for this day and the day follow
inc will donate his best service to
the cause of good roads. A commit
tee was appointed by the chairman to
raise funds for bringing the steam
roller and rock-crusher down from
Cornwall and more than the necessary
amount was SUBSIDIZED before the club
adjourned. There is an abundance of
good raw material for rock road
in the immediate vicinity of Kendrick
and no trouble will be experienced in
obtaining all that is necessary for
many miles of street and road.
The commissioners of Latah county
have agreed to meet dollar for dollar

Kendrick for the work on the mile

are enthusiastic in their plan for a
good roads day and the donation OF
their labor. The streets of the town
will be improved by the same organ
ization of labor as that used on the
county roads and they will be assisted
financially by the village council to
the full extent of the amount appro-
lated for the streets for the coming
year. 1t is planned to lay about eight
inches of crushed rock the full width
of the street and roll it down into the
soft clay mad mud by means of the
roller.
BY the end of the present year Ken
drick will take on a new aspect if the
efforts of it's loyal citizenship, work
ing in unison, will accomplish the re-
suits which are invariably realized
