FRANK SCHAUFELE BADLY
INJURED IN ATLANTIC CITY.

His skull fractured and both hands
and feet frozen, Frank j. Schaufele,
aged AZ years and residing at 9 S.
Georgia avenue, Pleasantville, was
discovered in a dying condition at Mis-
souri, and Arctic avenues, Atlantic
City. Thursday morning. S%chaufele's
aunt, Mrs. Sarah Swaby, was notified
as soon as the man had beer removed
to the City Hospital.
She hurried to Atlantic City from
Pleasantville and fell at Ohio and At
lantic venue within a square of the
Hospital, sustaining a broken arm.
She was rushed to the Hospital in the
police patrol.
A great deal of mystery surrounds
Schaufele's case, and there is no
means of knowing whether the man
was attacked at the isolated spot in
which he was found, or sustained a
fractured skull through a fall on the
icy pavement. An operation was per-
formed in an effort to save his life. e
Schaufele was a well-known figure
in Mortified, where he was frequent
" employed as caddie on the Country
Clubs golf links. He resided for many
years with another aunt, a Mrs. Sny-
der, who lives at Mortified, but had
recently taken up his home with Mrs.
Swaby, at Pleasantyille. Reports re-
ceived from the Hospital yesterday
(Friday) morning were to the effect
that the man was sinking and would,
in all probability. die without regain
ing consciousness.

BAD FIRE THREATENED IN

Pleasantville barely escaped a seri-
Gus co%nhagration early yesterday (Fri-
day. morning. A. w. Petit, manager
of H. J. Dennis & Co.'S drug store at
Il S. Main street, was aroused at a
quarter to one o'clock by a noise which
to him sounded like a burglar. He
grabbed his gun and Immediately went
down stairs and was surprised to find
that the porch in the ear was afire.
He gave an alarm and the flames were
extinguished without serious damage,
only a goodly sized hole being burnt in
the floor of the porch. Had the fire
gotten a little more Roadway before it
was discovered it is likely that Pleas
ANTILLES principal business block
would have been destroyed, for there
would have been no way to fight the
flames, owing to the water mains and
fire plugs being frozen. The cause of
the fire is not known. but a bucket of
ashes had been left upon the porch.
and it is assumed that the wind blew
the ashes and that there was a coal Of
fire among them which was not dead.

INCOME TAX GATHERER
SOON TO BE IN THIS CITY
Will Be At ~PIeasantvilIe Postoffice
From January rs to 81.

In a communication received by The
Pleasantville Press, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue Samuel Iredell announced
that a federal income tax officer would
be tent into Atlantic county on Jan.
End, and remain here until March LIST.
He will have his Office as follows:
Atlantic City, Guarantee Trust Bldg,
Room 302, Jan. End to March LIST.
Mays Landing, Postmaster's Room,
Jan. End to Jan. 9Th.
Minotola, First National Bank, Jan.
9th to 18th.
Egg Harbor City, City Clerks Office,
Jan. 14th to 18th.
Hammonton, Post Office Bldg, Jan.
18th to oath.
Pleasantville, Post Office Bldg, Jan.
25th to 31st.
He will be here ready and willing
to help persons subject to the income
tax make out their returns without
any cost to them for his services.
How many income-tax payers will
there be in Atlantic County? If you
can guess how many married persons
living with wife or husband will have
net incomes of $4,000 or over, and how
many unmarried persons will have net
incomes of $1,000 or over this year,
then you know. The Collector of In
ternal Revenue estimates hat there
will be 5000 taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March l. Because
a good many people don't understand
the law and won't know how to make
out their returns, the government is
sending in this expert to do it for
them. But the duty is on the taXpay-
er to make himself known to the gov
eminent. If he doesn't make return
as required before March / he may
have to pay a penalty ranging from
$40 to $1,000, pay a fine or go to jail.
So if you don't want to take chances
on going to Jail, you better call Oh the
income tax man. Il you are not sur
about being subject to the tax, better
ask him and make sure. Whether you
see the income tax man or not, you
must make return if subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man, who will
he at the places above mentioned.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures when the expert arrives.
Expenses, however. don't mean family
expenses, money used to pay off the
principal of a debt. new machinery,
buildings, or anything like that. They
mean what you spend in making your
money-interest, taxes paid, hired
help. amount paid for goods sold. seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent Except
for your dwelling). etc. Income in
cludes about every dollar you get.
