ROUNDING I'm Up

The police of Milford have at last
been aroused to the fact that the peo-
pie expect law and order TO be main
tanned in all parts of the town as well
as in the main business streets. 1t IS
also plain that the election protocol is
ever, for during the past ten days the
police have been rounding up the whis-
key toters, and several have been com
PEELED to go to the county jail TO await
the action of the courts. Last Sunday
there was a fairly liberal supply OF
whiskey, and if the police manifest
any desire to locate the law breakers
they will have an easy job to locate
the places and the dealers. Let's have
the law enforced; or, if the peo-
Pile want the town wide open, discharge
an police and let her go hell bent for
disorder. On Thanksgiving Day there
we're several drunken men, as well as
drunken poor whites, and both main
tanned about the same amount Of dis
order and brawling on the back streets.
The police stopped part Of it.

FRANK GRECO MAKES
ATTEMPT At SUICIDE
PBts His Throat With Safety Razor
Blade at His Home just East
OF Milford

While in an unbalanced state OF
mind, Frank Greco attempted 70 kill
himself by cutting his throat with the
blade OF a safety razor last Monday at
The noon hour. He is one Of the best
known men OF this vicinity. and in
terested in some of the largest bust
ness interests of this part Of Delaware.
He was at his home az the east side
of South Milford. which was formerly
part Of the Humphrey farm. and which
be bought two years ago. Medical as
sistsnce was summoned blythe family,
eyn as they struggled to prevent him
Gf6m accomplishing his purpose. In
sBsshfng the throat with the razor
blade, he barely missed the iugular
vein, and the physician believes that
unless blood-poisoning results. that
he will recover.
Hr. Greco came to Delaware about
fifteen years ago and bought several
thousands acres of land in Milford
Neck. one OF the tracts being the Gov
erHor Polk Farm. He always believed
thst oil would be found under Della
ware shore lands if borings were con
tinued to a proper depth. and at one
time he held many options on land
in that vicinity for this purpose.
He has been largely interested in
canning and farming generally, but for
two years past gave much Of his time
10 the fish and oil business. the works
being at the mouth of the Mispillion
river. This business he recently sold
to the Seminole Oil Company Of South
Carolina for SCI, 900. It is over this
deal that his trouble seems TO have
developed. So far as :s known among
financial people. he had no serious
financial troubles to bother him. but
he worried over this especially, and
thought that he had lost large |
amount by selling at too low figure. |
At his large works IN Milford Neck |
there is enough Junk" and old ma
which if sold at junk prices.
the proceeds would buy very fair
farm.
Mr.. Greco early in life was engaged /
in contracting and building railroads.
He is married and has one child.
