 Frank Mulyey, a popular and suc- cessful Smunition worker, who resides, at 21 High street. this city, says his trouble started with a pain in the back which was a kidney or rheu- matic sign and though he fought against it continually it finally wore him down until he was forced to lay off and stay in bed. He tells how he was relieved in an astonishingly short time through the use of the remarka- ble new Wilderb treatment. It fol- lows:
 T suffered with fierce backache that felt like someone was sticking a knife into me.
 First tried salves, rubbing lotions and liniments but they did no good. Then hot towels. cold towels. pills and laxative medicines came next and fail ed to touch lhe spot.

LEGAL ACTION IN :.
 RENT DISPUTE IN FAIRFIELD AVENUE
Litigation Shows How Real ty Values Have Increased
 in Two Years.

Suit against William E.. Seeley and Joseph Daniels, manager of the Royal Fur Co.,, for possession of the premises at 252 Fairfield avenue, has been be- gun in the city court, by George B. Clark, who alleges that the rent has not been paid according to an agree ment entered into May 2S, 1914.
 z In an answer filed with the clerk of the court William E. Seeley declares that he withdrew from the fur com pany Sept. g. but still owns an interest in the lease, with the additional claim that Clark has been offered the rental accepting to contract but that accept ance' has been refused by Clark's agents.
 The suit forms the basis of interest ing comparisons between the rental values in the center of the city in 1914 and the present status of the realty market. A contract exhibited in the suit for four year term shows that 1914 the rental of this location was '$1, 900 year. Realty men today assert that rentals have tripled in price and that smaller stores on Main street have recently held as high as $4,8O0 and 5000
 During the existence of the Royal Fur Go. established in 1914 there have been many interesting circumstances connected with it. Robbers entered the premises year and a half ago. nearly cleaning out the complete stock Later an attachment upon an automo- bile brought the owner and sheriff into the city court upon breach of the peace charges. The present case will, lit is believed! go to trial during the present week, with keen legal battle expected to result in many interesting disclosures.

BRIDGEPORT MAN
 REC0vERS GUNS FOR !. s. ARMY
Bares Thieving System Long Perpetrated. at Douglas,
 AriZ. {

Joseph A. Minto, of Bridgeport, re- siding at 1868 Main street, through his fearlessness has recovered stolen arms of the United States government val ued at several hundreds of dollars, be- sides laying bare wholesale system of thievery at Douglas, Ariz., which has long puzzled military authorities.
 Attached to the First New Jersey Infantry, Minto, who served with the same organization during the Spanish American war has recently seen ac- tive service at Douglas and along the Mexican border.
 Upon his return to New Jersey be- fore receiving an indefinite furlough which is being accorded all newly en- listed men, he was detailed to Asbury Park, N. J., to recover a quantity of U. s. army automatic pistols, stolen from camp and sold in that vicinity.
 With the assistance of one police man of Asbury Park, records show that Minto entered resort of thieves and at the point of guns mado the thieves and fences turn over quan- tity. of the automatics and disclosed the methods by which they were taken from the army. As a result five civil ians have been indicted by the New Jersey grand jury and four soldiers will be tried by general court martial at Fort Hancock this week. Sixty seven pistols have been recovered
 The weapons, valued at $37 each have recently been stolen at fthe bor- der in wholesale numbers. In each case they have been stolen by one sol- dier from another and have found their way into the hands of most .des- perate criminals, largely in Newark, N." J., and surrounding cities. The fearlessness of Minto is highly com mented upon by the New Jersey po- lice. q. During his stay in Bridgeport Minto has been employed by Michael c. Hayes, the fish dealer in State street. It is expected that now having re- ceived a1is discharge from service at the border he will again take up resi- dence in this city.
